Three beautiful girls walking down the street together was naturally incredibly eye-catching, especially since these three were members of the Loki Familia.
A Sword Princess whose beauty rivaled that of a goddess, along with two Messiahs who brought warmth to others. In this world, they were perhaps only slightly inferior to the Goddess of Beauty, but their presence was still enough to cause a sensation on the streets.
Whether it was Ais, Hyacine, or Barbara, they were already long accustomed to such scenes.
One was an elite Adventurer who had been active in Orario for many years, while the other two had even been an Empress and a Knight in other worlds... these gazes no longer evoked any unnecessary feelings in them.
However, just as the crowd revealed envious looks, a white rabbit suddenly appeared in the sight of Hyacine and Barbara, his eyes revealing an unprecedented yearning.
"Is that... Bell?"
Those rabbit-like features were simply too obvious. It would probably be impossible to find a second one in all of Orario, so it could only be the protagonist of this world, Bell Cranel.
However, to Hyacine and Barbara, Bell wasn't actually all that important. After all, her tasks didn't involve much related to the protagonist.
It was the same in the previous world. When he transformed into Cerydra and Hysilens, he never met the protagonist Tatsumi at all, and even only had a few brief encounters with Akame, not even coming close to being familiar.
After all, to a Player, tasks were the top priority; their relationship with the protagonist didn't really matter much.
Even though the protagonist constantly ran into trouble, the number of people involved in these troubles wasn't large. The contribution to task progress was just a drop in the bucket. They were better off opening a clinic in Orario and earning more through healing.
Speaking of a clinic, the girls indeed had such plans. After all, they couldn't possibly spend every day fighting monsters and saving people in Orario. If they had the chance, they should go talk to the Guild Head, Royman.
Hyacine didn't want to keep using the Guild's money. Even with Ouranos's permission, she wouldn't allow herself to agree to it. After all, owing someone a favor like this was fine to do once to solve an urgent problem, but doing it constantly would be far too shameful.
'A Messiah couldn't be a freeloader!'
'Wait... actually, would it be that bad?'
As a certain gray figure surfaced in their minds, both Hyacine and Barbara fell silent.
'Hui Bao... was also considered a Messiah, but it's still better not to do that sort of thing; we'd be laughed at!'
'If the roleplayed character was Hui Bao, him being a sugar baby would just be accepted, and he might even do far worse things. But right now, she was Hyacine and Barbara!'
'How could they do such a thing?'
So Hyacine merely gave one glance before averting her eyes.
As the protagonist of this world, Bell indeed had a very attractive side to him, to the point where he could even be called a little angel.
But regrettably, even with his profound background, he was only capable of making the girls take a second look. And then...
He was no different from any other passerby.
Saving an ordinary person added one to the task count.
Saving a protagonist also only added one to the task count.
From this, it was evident that to a Transmigrator, the protagonist was actually no different from an ordinary person or an NPC.
"Ai-bao, let's go!"
"We still have to go up Babel to buy some things later!"
—
Inside the Loki Familia, in the captain's office.
"Finn, have you really decided?"
"Yes. I'll be bringing Hyacine and Barbara along on this Expedition. They inherently possess extraordinary abilities that even Loki has never seen before; there will be no issue with them following us into the deep floors."
Looking at the Pallum captain sitting in the main seat, Riveria only felt a massive headache coming on. The source of all this was Hyacine and Barbara.
They were clearly just two rookies, yet during their very first time entering the Dungeon, they had dived straight down to the teen floors. If given a bit more time, they might have even fought their way to the Floor Boss!
"But they are Lv. 1 Adventurers after all..."
"Lv. 1s who can easily defeat veteran Lv. 3s without Falna (Grace of God)?"
As soon as these words came out, Riveria didn't even know what to say.
Was Finn right?
Of course he was!
After all, even though Hyacine and Barbara were only Healers, they possessed strength completely on par with top-tier Adventurers. Even beating up some high-level monsters wouldn't be a problem at all; they might even drastically increase their strength from it.
In short, it was highly profitable!
But the problem was, during this time, they simply had no time to instruct the two girls on what to do upon entering the Dungeon, and could only teach them as they went.
This would inevitably cost a massive amount of time and energy, which was actually detrimental to the Expedition...
"I know your concerns, Riveria."
"I also asked Loki about Hyacine and Barbara. Do you know how Loki answered me?"
Regarding the Messiahs, Finn would naturally make careful choices. Given his personality, it was even possible he wouldn't let the two girls risk danger.
However, such thoughts were stopped by Loki.
"Just go ahead and do it!"
"They are the Messiahs designated by Ouranos, not someone just any random Tom, Dick, or Harry can compare to."
When Loki said these words, she looked at Finn with a very unkind expression.
"If you ask me, you might as well go and fight them yourself, Finn~"
"I believe it won't be long before the strongest in our Familia changes hands~"
Finn hadn't expected Loki to exaggerate things so much.
Why?
This was also the doubt in Finn's heart; if this issue wasn't resolved, he absolutely wouldn't take the risk.
This was Orario's Braver, the master tactician Finn.
No matter what it was, he would always make ample preparations!
Yet this time, Finn seemed to have seen a different prospect...
Afterward, the Pallum captain received news about the Children of God from Loki, which finally put his mind completely at ease.
"Therefore, we cannot use common sense to judge the so-called Children of God; they are existences beyond our understanding..."
"In Loki's words, they are pretty much 'people possessing the power of gods', right?"
"We can absolutely entrust the internal affairs of the Familia to them, so rest assured."
Looking at Finn's smiling face, Riveria couldn't help but feel her headache worsen.
"You say that lightly, but in the end, I'm the one who has to teach them..."
As the vice-captain, the job of guiding promising rookies had always been done by Riveria; this was also why she was called 'Mama'.
"Then I'll leave it to you, the Mama of the Loki Familia~"
"Honestly, always increasing my workload..."
Although she complained, Riveria had actually long since adapted to this. It was nothing more than the people being guided changing into more talented Messiahs...
But Riveria didn't know that the shock the Messiahs would bring her was far beyond anything previous rookies could compare to.
Just like this upcoming Expedition, which would leave a profound impression on Riveria and the Familia, and make them truly understand what "Children of God" meant!
PS:
Such talents... someone actually asked me to write about Lord Ravager 'Irontomb Herta' and Lord Ravager 'Propagation Jingliu'...
Which world is this going to bring Destruction to?
