During this time, many things had happened.
The Dungeon city of Orario had welcomed its Deliverer.
At the same time, precisely because of the birth of the Deliverer, the trouble here had become more than before.
"I don't even know what to say to you all..."
"Although you have indeed brought a lot of fun, lately the one running errands has always been me, eh?"
Loki sat on the sofa in Finn's office, drinking her liquor with great dissatisfaction. After all, she had just learned about what had happened recently from Finn's mouth...
Clearly, before Hyacine and Barbara came to this city, there weren't so many things going on, and Loki could often go out and play.
But now?
The Fallen Spirit was attacking the Loki Familia in the Dungeon.
The Pleasure Quarter was attacked by the Fallen Spirit, and the goddess Ishtar was sent back to the Heaven by an Evil God.
And there was intelligence of a Fallen Spirit being spotted in the city...
Coupled with the resurrection of the Astraea Familia, and the resurrection of Alfia and Chard and the others... although they didn't appear in Orario openly, Loki still felt her head growing a size larger with stress.
Clearly Loki was the main god of the Familia; why was she living like a wage slave now? Running here and there every day—did she still have any of the dignity that a Familia's main god should have?
"Who let them join our Familia? I must kill him!"
Alcohol gives courage to men... no, it gives courage to gods!
Loki took this opportunity to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart, with the goal of showing it to the high-ranking members of the Familia present!
I! Loki! I'm done! And I'm going to take revenge!
"In that case, do you need my help, Loki?"
As the culprit behind Loki's words, Hyacine immediately stood up and walked around behind Loki with a smile, making the red-haired goddess feel a chill down her spine.
"O... of course I do!"
As a goddess, how could she show a weak expression in front of her own Familia members?
Loki declared that she would toughen up! She absolutely could not be led by the nose by these women again!
"Alright then, I hope you won't regret it, Goddess..."
Hyacine gave a devious smile and then summoned her memory spirit, Little Ika. The suddenly appearing rainbow horse head looked at Loki with an angry face, as if it would summon a rainbow tornado in the next second.
"Wait!"
"What are you planning to do? I'm the main god of the Familia!"
Seeing Little Ika's expression as if it were about to ram into her, Loki couldn't sit still at all. She immediately jumped up from the sofa, even spilling her liquor bottle.
Facing Loki's panic, Hyacine just showed an innocent expression and said: "Didn't you ask me to do this? After all, you were the one who agreed to let me join, Lady Loki~"
Boom! A bolt from the blue struck, and Loki was directly sunk.
This scene occurred in Finn's office, and the people around immediately laughed. In these years, the only one who could make them happy was Loki!
"Alright, the jokes end here; it's time to talk about some serious business."
After a long while, as the laughter gradually subsided, Finn clapped his hands to attract the attention of those around him.
"Loki, the Astraea Familia, and Alfia and the others have all left Orario now."
"Although they will return after a while, at least for the near future, we have to rely on ourselves to maintain order in the city."
"Can you tell us where you heard the news about the Fallen Spirit you mentioned just now?"
Although the power of the Fallen Spirit was nothing to the Deliverer, it could easily cause the deaths of countless civilians, and even some low-level Adventurers were at risk of death.
Human life is never something to joke about.
Saving people while they are alive is definitely better than resurrecting them after death. If everything could be solved by resurrection, then people's lives would become worthless!
This was also the intention of Hyacine and Barbara. Although Barbara possessed Resurrection Magic and could easily pull people's souls back from the Underworld, this did not mean that Barbara was always there.
After all, after the mission is completed, the girls will leave this world. If the people of this world develop a habit of relying on Resurrection Magic, they will likely pay a painful price in the future!
Therefore, Barbara was only willful once; after resurrecting all members of the Astraea Familia and some of Alfia's relatives, she told Finn about her thoughts.
Resurrection Magic must be used with caution, and preferably not at all.
"No problem~"
"I actually heard this from two other guys. They even said they wanted to cooperate with me... but their true purpose is definitely not as simple as cooperation."
"The first one is that slippery Hermes. It's said that when Ishtar was sent back, he was also in the Pleasure Quarter!"
Loki couldn't help but glance at Barbara; the meaning was obvious: You didn't get discovered, did you?
But what responded to Loki was just a slight shake of Barbara's head.
Since Lord Istaroth had already taken action, how could Barbara possibly be discovered? Of course, Loki didn't know about Istaroth, otherwise it would definitely be very troublesome.
"Anyway, I don't know what that guy Hermes saw, but he's definitely trouble. In the future, he might very well try to approach you quietly when I'm not looking, so be careful about that."
"...if someone got hold of some leverage."
Loki had a good idea about Barbara's response; a Deliverer isn't so easily targeted, so she was very at ease regarding Hyacine and Barbara, but the same couldn't be said for the others.
"And the other god... I don't have much interaction with him, but he should be a good god, right?"
"Oh right, he also has a request... I plan to tell you about it."
Seeing everyone's eyes gathered on her, Loki cast her gaze toward the two similar-looking girls.
"Hyacine and Barbara, that guy specifically named you two to meet him, and I agreed. After all, judging by his attitude, if I refused, he would definitely find you in private, right?"
"Although I don't know what he's up to, you'd better be careful. Let's go meet him together in a bit!"
Loki's expression was very serious. She seemed to have sensed something from that deity, but couldn't confirm her conjecture, so she found Hyacine and Barbara.
"If it's the 'Deliverer' of Orario, you should be able to sense something from that guy, right?"
"That's no problem, but who is that deity? Is it worth making you this serious, Loki?"
Hyacine expressed confusion. After all, Loki is one of the two pillars of Orario, and her strength is unquestionable.
But even so, Loki remained very cautious.
"I don't know either, I just feel a bit uncomfortable..."
"That guy is 'Dionysus'!"
Hyacine & Barbara / is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon??: Chapter 55 Watching the Clown Perform
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to be able to meet the two Deliverers; it is truly my honor!"
The blonde Male God wore a gentle smile, shining upon all living things like the sun, giving people an incredibly warm feeling.
Because it was too warm, it actually seemed a bit fake...
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Dionysus. It is also our honor to meet you."
Hyacine and Barbara stood behind Loki and simultaneously performed a curtsy. Although within the Familia, they could get along with Loki and didn't need to use honorifics, it was different in the outside world; they couldn't lose face for the Familia!
"Alright, enough nonsense. Tell me what you want to do!"
Hyacine and Barbara, at least on the surface, had the status of humans, so they would maintain respect for deities, but Loki was different.
I am also a god. What level are you to deserve my respect?
You're not a great god like Odin!
So Loki was completely impatient. On the surface, if it weren't for Hyacine and Barbara persuading her on the side, she would have gotten up and left immediately.
All of this was just because of the identity of the Male God in front of her.
Dionysus!
Most people probably don't know this deity in the DanMachi World, because he doesn't appear much in the main series, but rather has more appearances in the side stories.
But he is not a good god as he appears on the surface, but a destroyer disguised as a good god.
In the side stories, he made the Loki Familia suffer a lot!
And now, although the girls had smiles on their faces, hidden beneath those smiles was unprecedented killing intent toward this deity, completely no less than Ishtar of the Pleasure Quarter.
It's just that she hadn't told Loki about this matter yet, as the source of the information was hard to explain.
So before coming here, Hyacine chose another way... She just told Loki that Dionysus might be related to the Monster Person!
So much so that Loki's attitude toward the deity Dionysus took a 180-degree turn.
"It's nothing major, I just wanted to personally ask about the monsters the Loki Familia encountered in the Dungeon..."
"Just for this? Then there's no need to continue talking!"
Inquiring about monsters; just finding any member of the Loki Familia to ask would get the same situation, but this guy in front of her specifically chose the two Deliverers?
Obviously with ulterior motives!
As a deity, Loki could naturally distinguish the truth from falsehood in human speech, and when Hyacine told her that Dionysus was problematic, Loki immediately judged that...
This was the truth!
Dionysus really has a problem?
So Loki also intended to probe the reality, to see what this hypocritical guy was up to.
"Wait, Loki!"
"My Familia was also killed by the Fallen Spirit..."
Loki had intended to leave, but this sentence from Dionysus made her stop, and the expression on her face gradually became confused.
As a deity skilled in trickery and lies, Loki could actually tell to a certain extent whether a deity was lying, but the feeling Dionysus gave her at this moment contained absolutely no lies...
Loki looked at Hyacine again, but the other party just shook her head.
Oh ho!
This is interesting~
