บท 95: Bete Loga!

Chapter 95 - Bete Loga!

Luke, who had left Loki's room, walked alone out of the Familia's residence and onto the streets of Orario.

At this moment, Loki Familia members were all busy with their own stuff.

With the recent expedition just concluding, Luke finally had some free time.

Wandering aimlessly on the streets, Luke felt like he was back to the days when he used to stroll alone in Asterisk City.

Thinking about it, since coming to this world, he seemed to rarely be alone.

Riveria had always led him and Ais together.

Occasionally, when Riveria wasn't around, it would be Finn or Gareth leading them.

Even during breaks, Ais would stick to him like a little tail.

"It's been a long time since I've acted alone. It feels a bit unusual."

Although he was strolling without a specific goal, Luke still made a deliberate choice of the area to wander.

The South Street, located opposite the North Street where Loki Familia residence was situated.

In Orario, these two areas, North Street and South Street, were relatively special.

Both were referred to as the 'prosperous streets,' mainly because they housed the residences of two of the strongest Familia in Orario.

The Loki Familia residence was located on North Street, while the headquarters of Freya Familia was located on South Street.

Goddess Freya resided in the top floor of Tower of Babel. However, the upper areas of Tower of Babel belonged exclusively to the gods, and it wasn't possible for the entire Familia members to stay there.

Arriving at South Street, the first thing visible was various imposing buildings lining the streets.

There were grand theaters, casinos, high-end restaurants, and taverns, all looking quite upscale.

Walking on the main street, Luke curiously observed the surrounding architecture.

Whether before entering the Main God Space or after, Luke had never had much interaction with these high-end facilities.

Of course, this was also closely related to his lack of money.

But now things are different. Members of Loki Familia who participated in the expedition could receive a portion of money based on their contributions to the team.

Moreover, the floor boss Goliath, defeated on the 17th floor, was essentially Luke's prey.

After deducting the fixed portion given to the Familia, plus the amount he received based on contributions, Luke received a substantial sum of over two million Valis from this expedition.

With this much money, if used only for leisure, would be enough to splurge for quite a while.

However, as he walked, contemplating where to spend some money, a voice came from not far away.

"Hey, you're that recently famous newcomer, right?"

"Hehe, looks quite intimidating, but I don't know what he's like in reality."

Initially, Luke thought he had encountered troublemakers.

After all, he had just heard about the rumors of being referred to as 'super rookie' from Mama Mia a few days ago.

But when he followed the sound and looked over, things weren't exactly as he imagined.

Indeed, he did encounter troublemakers, but the target of their harassment was not him.

Four humans who appeared to be adventurers had cornered a young werewolf in an alley.

"Upgrading to Level 2 in just two years. You've been in the limelight recently, huh."

"Are you not taking us seniors seriously?"

Watching the young werewolf being surrounded and pushed into an alley, Luke sighed.

Encountering such a bullying incident on the roadside, regardless of whether he intends to get involved or not, can affect one's mood.

This also indicated how bad the security in Orario has become.

People can be forced into alleys on the main streets in broad daylight.

Thinking about the actions of Evilus that Mama Mia asked him to deliver a message to Finn before, Luke scratched his head and eventually decided to follow.

Although he knew that those four lousy adventurers were unlikely to be members of Evilus, Luke still planned to go and have a look just in case.

As one of the strongest Familia in Orario, Loki Familia has the obligation to help the guild maintain law and order in the city.

Finn and others repeatedly emphasized that if they encountered something within their capabilities, they should try their best to help.

This would contribute significantly to enhancing the reputation and word of mouth for Loki Familia.

But as Luke entered the alley with the intention of helping, he found that things were a bit different from what he had imagined.

"Damn it! Get out of my way!"

As Luke entered the alley, before he could fully understand what was happening, an adventurer with a longsword rushed towards him.

He swung the sword in his hand, seemingly intending to drive Luke away.

Bang—!

A chaotic swing of the sword could hardly pose a threat to Luke.

Realizing that the person rushing towards him was one of the four lousy adventurers from earlier, Luke swung the Sheath of Tranquility directly at the adventurer's face.

At this moment, the werewolf young man who was harassed by the four adventurers also rushed out of the alley.

He looked at the guy knocked down by Luke and was momentarily stunned.

Thinking of the man's fleeing figure just now, combined with the unharmed werewolf young man in front of him, Luke roughly understood the development of the situation.

"It seems my help was unnecessary."

"That's right, you're just being nosy."

Perhaps because of being 'helped,' the werewolf young man was very unhappy, and his tone of voice when he spoke to Luke was also full of irritation.

It was only at this moment that Luke could clearly see his appearance.

Silver hair with brown pupils, the iconic ears and tail of a werewolf, and a conspicuous blue-purple lightning tattoo on his face made him look somewhat familiar…

Hmm?

"Bete Loga?"

Luke hesitantly asked the young werewolf with some surprise.

"Tch, are there so many weaklings in Orario?"

"I just reached Level 2, and I'm already so well-known?"

Bete clicked his tongue discontentedly.

Being called out his name immediately made him think that Luke was just like those boring people who cared about useless street rumors all day long.

However, Luke was actually surprised by Bete himself. He didn't expect to meet his future colleague here.

"Tsk, what a hassle."

Staring at Luke for a moment, Bete glanced at the adventurer lying unconscious on the ground.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he grumbled reluctantly.

"Hey, come with me. I know a good tavern nearby."

"Even though you meddled unnecessarily, the fact that you 'helped' me is genuine. I don't want to owe anyone a favor."

After saying this, Bete crossed over Luke and walked towards the outside of the alley without waiting for his response.

Bete's actions puzzled Luke.

He wasn't familiar with Bete, and the information he knew was limited to what happened after the plot began.

Luke didn't know much about Bete's past experiences, but judging by his current behavior, it seemed that his personality wasn't as 'annoying' as described in the original story.
