บท 4: Chapter 4

After walking the streets of Orario for a while, I smoothly arrived at the Twilight mansion, where the Loki family resides. The mansion's appearance looked exactly as depicted in the anime. When I came to the door, I encountered a guard who blocked me.

"Miss, may I know why you came here?" The guard asked politely after seeing me. But I can still see that he's on guard against me. He must not have expected a girl he doesn't know to suddenly appear before him like this.

"Hello, can I come here to meet with a manager from the Loki family? I have a letter of introduction from the guild." I asked him, handing him the introductory letter in my hand. The man checked the receipt seal on the letter. After examining it for a while, he spoke again:

"Can I ask you to wait for a while? Our family's rulers are currently on an expedition, I need to consult Goddess Loki personally." I look at the guard, who is very relieved when he sees the guild's introduction letter. After I nodded to him, he left his seat to a friend and entered the mansion.

He sent the guard back without waiting too long. Then he came to me and told me to follow him. I assume Goddess Loki has agreed to meet with me. While following the man, I started to examine the surroundings. The mansion had a very luxurious courtyard. I didn't find this strange since ıt was one of the two best families in the city.

After entering the mansion and walking for a while, the guard brought me to a room.

There was only one person in the room. A young woman with red hair and squinty eyes was sitting on the couch, facing me. The sacred aura I felt from the woman clearly showed that she was Loki. After she saw me enter, she opened her narrow eyes and looked at me for a while. She motioned for the guard to leave us alone. After the guard left, I decided to break the silence and introduce myself to her.

"Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Goddess Loki. I am Sakuya Izayoi, nice to meet you. I am also here to join your family." I decided not to beat around the bush. After introducing myself, I got straight to the point.

"Interesting. You are a very outspoken person. If what is written in your introductory letter is true, I would not hesitate to accept you into my family. Especially when you are of a race I have never heard of before." She started to look at me with a grin.

"I can always prove that what Eina wrote is true." While looking at her with the same grin, I opened the 4 pairs of devil wings on my back. Also, black horns started growing on both sides of my forehead. Yes, horns. I think I mutated from the combination of three bloodlines and have horns that other demons don't have. I discovered this when I was 5 years old, but that's more for later. Now I have to take care of the goddess in front of me, whose eyes are wide with shock.

"This is very strange. In my thousands of years of life, I have never met anyone like you or heard from anyone else about the existence of your race." Loki reacted after a while and started hitting her knees with laughter. Shrugging, I retracted my wings and horns and waited for it to calm down.

"We gods came down to earth to relieve our boredom. Meeting you after living in this world for so many years is a priceless encounter for me. Welcome to our family, Sakuya." After Loki calmed down, she stood up and held out her hand. I shook her hand without hesitation.

"Now let's give you the blessing" Loki began to grin suggestively as she rubbed her hands together. When I saw her perverted expression, a check mark appeared in my head. I ignored it for now and undressed, showing my back, and sat on the chair. Meanwhile, Loki got serious and started her work.

I felt uncomfortable for a while after I felt her blood dripping on my back. This discomfort soon passed and Loki's surprised and happy voice fell into my ears.

"Hahaha... Luck is on my side. I didn't know I could find a treasure." Loki hugged me from behind while talking with excitement. Reflexively, I hit her head and left her.

"Loki, show me my situation." I held out my hands as I looked at her sternly. Loki immediately calmed down and gave me the paper she was holding in her hand.

Sakuya Izayoi

Lv.1

Pow-I

End-I

Dex-I

Agi-I

Mag-I

-Demon magic manipulation(A)

-Demon physics(B)

-Destruction power(B)

-Swordsman(C)

What was written about my situation was not much different from what I expected. Things that are different; that my abilities are rated. This showed me that my demon physique is not perfect.

The good news is; If it can be graded, that means it can also improve. I wonder what would happen if they all reached the SSS value.

After examining the paper, I handed it back to Loki. Loki wore a disappointed expression as there was no expression of surprise on my face.

"It's no fun. Anyway, you're a member of our family now. I'll arrange for someone to get you a room. Normally there would be a welcome party, but most of our family members are on an expedition. I'll have a sumptuous banquet prepared for you when they arrive." Loki put her hand on my shoulder and continued talking with an uncle smile.

"Okay, no problem. But I want to get into the dungeon before nightfall." When Loki's hands started to become fraudulent, I pulled away from her and looked at her blankly. Then she said I would go to the dungeon.

"Okay, I can only let you if you promise to juggle on the ground floors. I know you're capable, but we'll continue like this until the others return from their expedition."

"Okey, whatever you want." I know I'm strong, but it's better to be cautious than regret it later.

"Good, I like that you at least listened to my words, unlike the others. Oh, by the way, we should report to the guild that you have joined our family before we go to the dungeon."

We accepted what she said and went to the guild together. We registered with Eina's helper. Then I said goodbye to Loki and set off towards the dungeon. I'm pretty excited about what I'm about to see with my own eyes. Getting stronger by killing monsters will open the doors of a new world for me.

In my own world, I decided to stay here until my school started and take advantage of the opportunities here as much as possible. While I was lost in thought, I already came to the entrance of the dungeon. I took a deep breath, tried to calm my excitement, and took my first step into the dungeon.
