Chapter 684 Failed to Steal a Partner: Loki's Familia's Second Target!
"oh."
Broly nodded and then asked the pretentious god beside him.
"My esteemed deity, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Loki also stopped his exaggerated performance.
"Young man Broly, would you be interested in joining my familia?"
These words immediately silenced the previously noisy atmosphere in the Abundant Woman's shop.
No one expected that the chief god, one of the major clans of Orario, would invite someone to join his clan here.
"Who is that?"
"I don't know him."
The adventurers around them began to whisper among themselves, and the subject of their discussion was Broly. Orario's top-tier clans rarely recruit outsiders. If they do recruit, it's because the recruited person possesses some extraordinary talent or trait.
"I have a family."
"Yes, I know that, but if you're willing to switch your religion, I can give you your original deity a substantial conversion fee."
Loki was willing to give Hestia 10 billion falies as compensation for the boy, based solely on the temporary skill effect Ais received.
Unfortunately, I have no intention of leaving my current clan.
Broly refused.
"Don't say that. The transfer fee is for your current main god Hestia. As for you personally coming here, I will give you a separate entry fee. You can name the terms."
Loki said with a smile.
"What's going on outside? It's so quiet!"
Seele poked her head out from the kitchen.
"The chief god of the Loki Familia wants to recruit that interesting guest you mentioned to join his family."
Holding an empty tray, Ryu explained to her friend.
"?!"
Upon hearing this, Seele's eyes widened instantly, and she craned her neck to peer over the elven girl's shoulder.
The elven girl looked at her friend's reaction with some surprise; she had never seen Seele so concerned about someone she had just met.
"How is it, Broly? This is your swordsmanship, the kind of treatment you only receive after being recognized by my Sword Maiden."
Loki asked.
"You'll agree to any conditions?"
Broly's gaze passed over her and fell upon the Loki Familia members behind them. In addition to the werewolf youth and the swordswoman girl he had already met, there was also a golden-haired elf girl who caught his attention.
[New romance target discovered: Lefia Veridis, current happiness level 0]
When the elf girl noticed him looking over, she instinctively shrank back to the swordswoman next to her, but still stuck her head out to look at him curiously.
"Not every condition is acceptable, but everything can be discussed."
Loki didn't immediately agree.
"Then forget it. I won't leave my clan, my current lord."
Broly shook his head.
If the other party dares to agree to anything, then he dares to jump over to the other party's clan first, and then lead the others back to the Hestia Spring Clan.
"Hey, what did Hestia give you that made you so devoted to her?"
Loki was somewhat puzzled.
"An encounter, she gave me my first encounter in this world."
Broly answered.
"If they're unwilling, then don't force them."
Finn walked over and stopped his own god from trying to fight for it.
"My name is Finn Timner, the leader of the Loki Familia. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The blond dwarf reached out his hand.
"Broly".
The Saiyan boy didn't refuse and shook hands with the other person.
"Ais would like to learn swordsmanship from you. What are your thoughts on this?"
Finn asked directly.
"I've already agreed to her request, but I need her to pay some guidance fees."
Broly answered.
Would your God agree?
"Why would Lady Hestia be unwilling?"
Broly looked over, somewhat puzzled.
"Uh, kid, you don't know that your god and our god don't get along, do you?"
Riveria walked over and asked, somewhat surprised.
"We'll pay for your drinks, please make room for us."
"Ah, yes."
Bert the werewolf found a chair and sat down, then spoke to the adventurer at the same table who had been offered a chair.
"Excuse me, it's really kind of you to give us our seats."
As he spoke, the extraordinary Raul helped pay the bill.
"Haha, not at all. Your Loki Familia is treating us to a meal. It's just a matter of changing the table."
Compared to the Freya Familia, whose style of doing things was somewhat domineering, the Loki Familia had a much better reputation and way of doing things.
Even those whose tables were occupied mostly greeted with smiles and carried their food to another empty table.
The corner where Broly was located, and the surrounding tables, were quickly occupied by members of the Loki Familia.
"It's said that we don't get along, but actually it's just that when we were in the Heavenly Realm, she couldn't stand the way I did things, and sometimes she would see through my pranks."
Loki, while drinking the beverage served by the catgirl Anya, explained to the Saiyan boy who had inquired about the situation the reason for his strained relationship with Hestia.
"Sometimes we'd start arguing. I'd call her a shut-in goddess, a shorty who'd never grow up, and she'd actually say my chest wasn't as big as Takemikazuchi's (her idol) chest! Broly, your idol's going too far, isn't he?!"
Loki's Familia members:
You two are equally bad, always pointing fingers and insulting each other.
"So, my esteemed deity, are you binding your chest?"
Broly stared at Loki's flat-chested tank top and asked.
"Pfft~"
Several male members of the Loki Familia, who were drinking at the time, burst out laughing on the spot.
"False slander is not scary; the truth is the sharpest weapon!"
Riveria stood beside her, speaking calmly.
"Waaah~"
The Amazonian girl Tiona, who had been accidentally injured, lay on the table, her hands covering her chest, tears welling up in her eyes.
Because her chest, in terms of size, is comparable to that of a deity—both are flat: I'm so sorry she didn't wear a bra!
Broly initially thought it was something serious when he heard that the relationship was bad, but after listening to the rest of the story, he realized that Loki and his own god were just bickering lovers in the heavens, so he was relieved. As long as they weren't mortal enemies, it was fine.
"Please rest assured that I will instruct Ais in swordsmanship. If Lady Hestia has any objections, I will help persuade her."
After learning that Loki was inviting him to join his clan because he was worried that Hestia wouldn't agree to let him teach Aiss swordsmanship, Broly earnestly assured the flat-chested goddess.
"So, I don't have to bow down to your goddess, grovel before her haughty deity, and beg her to allow you to mentor my little Ais?"
Loki, who was pretending to cry, carefully raised his head and asked.
"Lord Loki, please don't slander my Lady Hestia so casually. She would never be so arrogant."
Broly said something.
"Ah, what do you, a young child, know about Hestia? That little dwarf and I have been old acquaintances in the heavens for hundreds of millions of years. Do you think I wouldn't know how he'd react?!"
Upon hearing this, the god Loki immediately retorted loudly.
"Don't say that, Lord Loki. Perhaps Lord Hestia has changed a lot since she went down to the mortal realm."
Lefia tried to dissuade her, worried that if her own god continued to speak so recklessly and slander the other god, the other god might renege on his promise to teach Miss Ais swordsmanship.
"Ha, it is true that unchanging gods are prone to change when they descend to the mortal realm, but I am certain that Hestia would never change her attitude towards me."
Loki finished his drink and then spoke.
"Ah, Lord Loki, why are you so sure?"
Lefia asked, puzzled.
"Because that's just how I am. Even though I went down to the mortal realm earlier than that little dwarf Hestia and have changed a lot, I still excitedly run to her and show off my face after hearing that she's not doing well there. I feel happy to see Hestia's jealous and envious little expression!"
As for her (Hestia), my intuition tells me that if that little dwarf were given the chance to show off in front of me, she certainly wouldn't let it pass.
Perhaps Hestia would agree to let her child teach my child swordsmanship, but that little dwarf would definitely say something like, "Oh my, isn't this Lord Loki from Orario's top faction? Your familia is already top-tier, why do you need my child from a lowly familia to teach your child swordsmanship?"
Loki slammed his right fist on the wooden table and said this with absolute certainty.
Those around her were somewhat speechless after hearing what this deity said: You've already shown off to other goddesses, so you won't let them show off back?
Loki and Hestia's relationship is definitely not one of hostility, but they certainly don't like each other.
"Broly, you can really eat! And after eating so much, your stomach isn't even bulging."
By this time, Tiona had recovered from the accidental chest injury. She looked at the empty plates and bowls gradually piling up on the boy's table and stared at his belly, which showed no signs of swelling. She couldn't help but be amazed by his appetite.
"I have good digestion. Food is digested very quickly once it enters my stomach. Right now, I'm only about 60% full."
"ah?!"
The Amazon girl's hand, which was supporting her head, wobbled, and she almost smashed her forehead on the table. The other members of the Loki Familia also turned to look, having similar thoughts to those of the former Hestia: no wonder this boy is so strong.
If you're not strong, and you can eat so much, you simply won't be able to support yourself.
"Is this also the reason why your sword is so powerful?"
The Fiora asked curiously.
"Strength equals the ability to feed, that's my opinion."
Broly answered seriously, saying that being full or not being full are two different states.
Ais paused for a moment, then tore off a chicken leg from the roast chicken in front of her and began to take big bites.
She believed it, and in order to become stronger, she was willing to make all sorts of efforts, including working hard to earn money.
"Thank you for speaking up for my family's deity."
Broly turned to look at the blonde elf girl on the other side and thanked her.
"Oh, what do you mean by 'owing'? I was just stating the facts."
Lefia lowered her head. She had only said those words to help Miss Ais, and now that the boy was thanking her, she felt a little embarrassed, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
"Can we get to know each other?"
Broly asked.
"Yes, my name is Lefia."
The blonde elf girl nodded and introduced herself.
"I am Tiona!"
The tablet-wielding Amazon girl then came over.
After that, came the rest of Loki's Familia.
They were filled with goodwill towards the Saiyan boy who, even though the chief god of their clan was unwilling, was willing to teach their companion, Miss Ais.
Lorne Vick looked at the Saiyan boy and couldn't help but admire his extraordinary abilities. Just two weeks ago, he had become the adventurer's benefactor, yet now he could chat and laugh with members of the Loki Familia, the top-tier family in Orario, including first-class adventurers, without showing any fear.
"Miss Seele, please pack two servings of stewed meat rice for me."
When Broly was about 80% full from the rice, he spoke to the signboard girl who came over to serve the last dish.
"Are you going to take this home to eat?"
Seele was a little curious.
"No, this is packed for my family."
Broly offered an explanation.
"Oh, Mr. Broly, are you going back already?"
The three girls in gray quickly asked.
"If I don't go back soon, my family will go hungry."
"Oh, okay. I'll go prepare the things you need to pack."
Xi'er nodded and ran to the kitchen.
"Since you're leaving, please settle your bill."
The green-haired, three-headed elf girl, Liu, wearing a light blue waitress's skirt, came over and said something while holding a long bill.
"OK."
Broly pulled out his money bag, but Lorne across from him also pulled out his money bag.
"Please let me pay for part of it, and Mr. Broly, you can pay for the rest yourself. Hmm, tonight's dinner was supposed to be to thank you, but I feel bad that I haven't made sure you enjoyed your meal."
Broly didn't refuse, but simply said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."
After paying the bill and finishing his meal, Broly said goodbye to the others.
"I will bring up the matter of Winter's Sword with Lady Hestia tonight. I don't know the exact time, but I will persuade Lady Hestia to agree to let me guide you with the sword."
Broly said to the swordswoman whose mouth was stuffed full of food.
"Mmm, woo-woo————"
With her mouth full of food, Ais could only respond with three nasal sounds, but judging from the girl's attitude, she was probably expressing her gratitude.
"Come to Guanghai often from now on!"
Seele saw him off, looking every bit like a shill trying to win over a big spender.
"Yes, I will definitely come often in the future. Well then, Miss Xier, I'll take my leave now."
Carrying his lunchbox, Broly waved and headed towards his family's residence.
Hermes's clan was in different places. The three red dwarves accompanied him for a while before bidding him farewell.
Back at their clan's residence, Hestia and Lilyluka finally finished their sorting work.
After receiving the stewed meat rice, I enjoyed it immensely.
"This is really delicious."
Mia's stewed meat dish clearly won over the appetites of both the goddess and the little girl.
Broly then told them about his experience dining at the Tavern of the Abundant Mistress.
After hearing that the boy had met four women he wanted to meet in one night, both Hestia and Lilyluca gaped in astonishment.
"No, Broly, are you falling in love with every girl you see?"
Lily Luca became somewhat agitated, sensing a threat; she was like a cat that had caught fire.
"The tavern waitresses are fine, but why do they have to be from the Loki Familia?!"
Hestia, on the other hand, was also starting to have some headaches.
"I don't get along with Loki. If she knew you had feelings for her clan girl, she definitely wouldn't agree."
"I don't fall in love with every girl I meet; I only want to meet special people, like you, Lily."
Broly answered the little girl's question seriously, then looked again at the loli goddess who looked troubled.
"Lord Hestia, don't worry. One of the Loki Familia I want to meet is the Sword Maiden Ais."
Miss Wallenstein has promised me that she is willing to pay the corresponding price as long as I am willing to guide her.
As for the other Miss Rafia Veridis, although there was no promise made, we already know each other.
I feel that Loki, that great god, isn't one to be too harsh on the children of his clan. I imagine that if I could persuade Miss Lefia to agree to an encounter with me, she wouldn't object.
"Ah, how is this possible? How could Loki possibly allow you to encounter two girls from his familia?"
"Moreover, one of them is the Sword Maiden, a first-level adventurer, and the other is the Thousand Elf, who was raised by the Loki Familia as the successor to the Nine Demon Maidens."
"Brother Broly, when that Sword Maiden agreed to your conditions, it was definitely because she didn't know you had feelings for her; that's why she agreed so readily."
Lily Luca said on the side, seemingly trying to discourage the boy from wanting to meet the two and reduce his competition.
"Lily, doesn't the Sword Maiden know the conditions under which Broly instructed her in swordsmanship?"
"I think they probably don't know."
Lily Luca replied, briefly explaining what happened at noon in the underground with Kang Sansheng.
"Then I'll ask Miss Ais tomorrow."
Broly thought about it and felt that what Lily said was possible, so he said it.
No, don't ask.
"Um?"
Broly looked at his own god with some confusion.
"Miss Warren, since you want her to learn the Winter Sword Technique, then you should teach her properly."
"Lord Hestia, you don't object to me teaching swordsmanship to members of the Loki Familia?"
Broly was a little curious.
"Uh, why should I object?"
Hestia looked over with some confusion.
"I knew it!"
After saying this, Broly recounted to his god the events of that evening at the "Abundant Mistress" tavern, where he encountered the Loki Familia and was reborn three times.
"What? That bastard Loki actually wants to secretly recruit you and steal your talent from me?"
