POV: Loki
When I saw Riveria standing there, looking at the two of us, it felt as if the world had ended for a moment. I stepped closer to her and said, "Riveria, listen to me carefully, okay?" She stared at me for a few seconds and then said,
"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone what I saw here."
Hearing her words, I felt instant relief.
"But I want to understand exactly what is going on here."
I looked at Luan, and he was smiling as if nothing had happened. Does this guy even understand the situation?
Luan noticed my gaze and said, "Loki will explain everything that happened. I think I'll be going now."
"Are you crazy? You want me to explain everything to her alone? You're part of this mess too."
"She's the vice-captain of your Familia. You're the one who needs to deal with this problem." After saying that, Luan disappeared.
I was extremely irritated, but I controlled myself. I looked at Riveria, and she was staring at me in silence.
Huff~~
I sighed and scratched my head.
'What a huge problem. What should I tell her? Should I say he's just a friend? Will she even believe that?'
"I didn't know you liked men. You've always been more interested in beautiful women," Riveria said suddenly.
"I don't like that guy," I replied coldly.
"That's not what it looked like." Riveria kept her expression impassive.
"It's not like that. I asked him to help me with something, that's all. Nothing is going on between us."
"I always thought you hated him."
"I do hate him."
"It didn't look that way."
"You won't believe anything I say, will you?"
"I won't believe something that is obviously a lie. Goddess, I won't care if you're in love with him or something like that. I'm not someone who can judge you. I just want to know what's going on."
…
I looked at Riveria and then sighed.
"I'm not in love with him. I'm just taking advantage of him."
"…Taking advantage of him?"
"Yes, that's all. I promise I'm not in love with him or anything like that. I know Ais, Tiona, and Tione like him. That's also one of the reasons I got close to him. I need to know what he's thinking. I don't trust him."
"So you approached him because of them? You're afraid he might hurt them?"
Honestly, after everything we've been through together, I'm sure he would never hurt them physically. But he could end up hurting them emotionally.
"Yes. He might hurt their hearts in the future. He's an idiot. He's no good."
"But I still don't fully understand what you meant by 'I'm taking advantage of him'…"
"That's…"
There's no way I can say that out loud. I can't tell her I'm using him just to satisfy my sexual desires. What would she think of me if I said that?
She would never respect me again.
"It's better if we don't talk about that anymore. The only thing you need to know is that we're not dating, and I'm not in love with him."
"…" Riveria stared at me. She clearly had many suspicions. I'm sorry, but I won't tell you everything.
"Please, Riveria, don't tell any of them about what happened, okay?"
"You don't want them to know you're close to him?"
"Yes, something like that."
"Alright. I won't tell anyone." After saying that, she turned to leave the room. But before stepping out, she added, "Ah, and next time, don't forget to wear your underwear. I can see your… you know."
She left the room, and I looked down at my chest.
My nipples were hard for some reason.
"Shit…"

POV: Luan
After teleporting away, the image of Riveria staring at me came to mind. She was very irritated, even though she didn't show it openly. I didn't even try to approach her, and she already hates me.
I could have stayed and talked to her, but I decided to leave. I hope Loki can handle this problem on her own.
'If she asks Riveria not to tell Ais, Tiona, and Tione about it, it probably won't happen. She knows how to keep a secret.'
I walked to my bed and lay down. I looked at the ceiling and then opened the system to check the completed mission notification.
[ Impregnate Loki ]
[ Reward: Ascension ]
[ Points: 10,000 ]
I got her pregnant after finishing inside her several times. Besides receiving 10,000 points and finally being able to go through the next "ascension," I also gained the chance to choose a high-level skill.
Actually, I have four high-level skills to choose from, along with some basic ones.
Normally, I don't even care about the basic skills. I always pick random things like "Whistling LV1" or "Pyrotechnics LV1." They're weak skills that can't even be used in combat.
But the high-level skills I can acquire after sleeping with a Goddess…
That's how I got Teleportation. I even gained a skill that allows me to rewind time, although I haven't used it much.
"Should I see if there's something useful to choose?"
I selected the skill options, and three appeared.
[ Strange Movements LV1 ]
[ Move your body in an awkward yet precise way. Deceive any enemy's eyes, making any battle easier. ]
[ Deadly Poisoning EX ]
[ When you strike your enemy, inject a lethal poison into their body. Fatal to adventurers below Level 7. ]
"That's a good skill."
And the last one:
[ Legendary Blacksmith LV1 ]
[ You have acquired the knowledge of a legendary blacksmith. Can you develop your abilities and become as skilled as him? ]
'Yes, that's the one I want.'
[ You have acquired the skill "Legendary Blacksmith LV1" ]
As soon as I obtained it, an enormous amount of knowledge flooded my mind, even giving me a headache.
