Yo, Godou. You're the bartender today?" Shakti asked as she slid onto the stool across him.

Godou nodded. "Mama Mia's off today, so she asked me to cover." He hadn't seen the Ganesha Familia's Captain in a while. Apparently they'd just returned from an expedition of their own. "What can I get you?"

"Two beers."

He raised an eyebrow. "Two?"

"Yeah. One for me, one for you."

That same eyebrow twitched. "You know you have to pay for my share, right?"

The blue-haired woman across him nodded. "Yeah, I know. I just don't like drinking alone."

Sighing, Godou began to pour the drinks into the mugs. Personally, he thought drinking on the job was unprofessional. But according to Mama Mia, if he couldn't get drunk and it meant more beers were getting sold, then there was nothing wrong with it. "Where's your Familia?" he asked, realizing that the rest of the Ganesha Familia was conspicuously absent.

"They like another tavern. So I'm here alone."

Godou slid Shakti's filled mug across the table top, smiling in satisfaction when it stopped perfectly in front of her without spilling a drop of beer. He'd spent hours perfecting that technique.

"Shouldn't you be with them?" He took a sip of his own beer. Bitter, bubbly, and sour as usual. The recent experience with Soma he had hadn't affected his general dislike for alcohol.

Shakti made a shrugging motion as she drank from her mug. "The bartender here is cuter."

He rolled his eyes. And here was someone else that was also determined to recruit him. "Flattery isn't going to convince me to join your Familia."

He frowned after he finished his sentence, his mind drifting off a little. It felt a little odd, having not seen Loki for a whole week. In fact, it seemed like the entire Loki Familia had begun to avoid the Hostess. When word spread a couple days ago that Aiz Wallenstein had reached Level Six, Godou had half-expected Loki to burst into the tavern with her usual entourage to celebrate.

But she hadn't. Not a single person from her Familia had come.

He blamed Lancelot.

He felt the goddess bristle at the accusation.

'Why is she still upset? I don't recall saying anything that controversial."

Godou was quite sure it wasn't anything that Lancelot had said in particular that had irked Loki.

'Oh. The kiss,' Lancelot thought, as if it were a mere triviality that had resurfaced in her mind. 'You kissed back,' she pointed out.

And indeed, he had. Actually...why had he? He still remembered the sensation very clearly. When Lancelot's soft and moist lips had pressed into his own, he had initially resisted. But when her tongue had wormed its way past his teeth to brush against his own tongue, the world had simply melted away then.

For a short, blissful moment back then, Godou had completely forgotten everything about Orario and its Dungeon. About being a Campione and fighting Gods. About being all alone. Right then and there, locked in that passionate moment, he had been at peace with himself, almost as if he was still surrounded by the people he loved, and was one with them.

'None of that would have happened if you had called on me instead,' Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi suddenly chimed in. 'I would never kiss you.'

Godou balked at the mere thought of it.

"-Godou!"

He blinked, suddenly jolted back into reality by Shakti's call, realizing that the girl had been waving her hand in front of him for who-knew-how-long already. He shoved the pair of bickering Gods into the back of his mind. He was still on the clock, and there was a customer right in front of him. He would decide how to deal with the Loki situation at a later time.

It would be bad for business if the Hostess lost the patronage of her whole Familia, after all.

And also, Godou didn't want to lose one of the few friends that he still had.

Riveria slammed the door wide open, ignoring the groans of protests coming from the blanket-wrapped figure curled up on the bed.

"Get up, Loki. It's been a whole week."

"Mmbgh unhbghmm," replied the bed in an incoherent mumble.

Riveria strode to the window, and with a sweeping motion, tore open the curtains. Sunlight flooded Loki's room for the first time since Kusanagi Godou had stepped foot into the Loki Familia's home.

The elf stood in front of the bed, waiting for her goddess to make some kind of response. When none came, she spoke instead. "You're acting like a heartbroken teenage girl. You're a goddess for goodness' sake."

"Mmbgh un-"

Riveria couldn't take it anymore. She violently yanked the blanket off the bed.

"BAHDUH!?"

And with it, Loki tumbled off the bed in an ungraceful heap.

Riveria tried to hide her amusement as Loki hissed at the unwelcome exposure to sunlight, using her hands to cover her eyes.

"Why'd you go and do that for, Mama? Didn't you see the 'Do Not Disturb' Sign I left on the doorknob?"

Riveria threw the object she'd been holding onto unwillingly at Loki's face. "Loki. Your used underwear does not constitute as a 'Do Not Disturb' sign. If anything, it is a cry for help."

"I don't need help," Loki mumbled. The goddess brought the offending garment close to her nose and sniffed it once before immediately making a disgusted face and chucking it towards another corner of the room. "As you can see," she said quite proudly as she re-wrapped herself with her blanket. "I have everything under control. I have a plan," she declared boldly.

"Oh, do share," Riveria said with undisguised mirth. She wondered what Kusanagi Godou would have thought of the scene in front of her. She doubted it would be of anything favorable towards Loki.

"I'm going stay here and wait until all these annoying feelings go away." Loki jumped onto the bed. "So, shoo. You're getting in the way of my plan."

"No. I'm not going to let you do that. You've tried that fo

r a week and clearly it hasn't worked. We're going to work through this the mortal way."
