34 Expedition Starts!

Although Sirius was not a part of the expedition, he still wanted to bid them goodbye.

Therefore, he changed his clothes and walked out of the room after washing up.

When he was down, the expedition team had already set off. But, he could still see their leaving figure out of the gate.

Without wasting any more time, he ran to the gate and shouted, "Everyone! Please stay safe!"

His shout attracted their attention, and they waved him goodbye in return.

Sirius stared at them for a while and went to the canteen room on the second floor.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the canteen.

Sirius remembered something Loki said yesterday.

Most of the chefs in Loki Familia are relatively strong female adventurers. Therefore, they will also join the expedition as logistics.

During this time, Loki asked him to eat outside like everyone else in the familia.

Sirius helplessly shook his head and decided to go out for breakfast.

On his way outside, he encountered the goddess of his familia.

"Yo, Sirius! Are you going to the dungeon so soon?" Look asked after finding a long spear on his back and a medium-sized backpack.

"Yeah. But before that, I need to find a place to have breakfast." Sirius casually answered.

The more he gets along with Loki, the less restrained he becomes.

Initially, he paid attention to honorifics while talking to her, but not anymore.

It has only been two days since they met, and his psychology has a subtle change.

He also doesn't resist such change.

"Hehe, good to hear. Work hard, and try to catch up with Ais and the others soon. I have high hopes for you…." Loki praised him before continuing on.

"Also, while you are exploring the dungeon alone, try to pay more attention to your surrounding. Don't go too deep, and don't trust others casually." Loki didn't forget to give him some reminders.

"I understand. Thanks for the reminders, Loki~" Sirius sincerely thanked her. No matter how unruly her usual behavior is, she is earnest about important issues.

"Hehe, I'm glad to see that. *yawns* I still have a hangover from yesterday, so see you later!" After saying this, Loki yawned tiredly and headed toward her room.

After looking at his status yesterday, Loki was not worried about his safety in the dungeon.

With such high stats and skills, monsters on the upper floor pose no threat to him.

As long as Sirius doesn't run off to the middle floors like a fool, there is nothing dangerous.

After bidding goodbye to the red-haired goddess, Sirius walked out of the gate and headed toward the western street of Orario.

Most of the taverns and pubs are located on this street. These places also serve food items along with some drinks.

Along the way, Sirius found many adventurers walking on the street with similar ideas to him.

For breakfast, Sirius wanted to go to the famous 'Hostess of Fertility.'

The sun had already risen, so many shops and taverns along the way were opened and ready for business.

After searching for some time, Sirius finally found his destination.

Hostess of Fertility!

The Hostess of Fertility sits on a brick-lined street. It is a two-story building made of stone.

Sirius wanted to visit this famous place after coming to Orario.

As for the possibility of being stared at by a certain goddess, Sirius simply ignored it.

After all, as a potential newcomer to Loki Familia, he will meet goddess Freya sooner or later.

There is no use escaping from the beauty goddess. It will serve no other purpose except to increase her curiosity.

There is also a chance that his otherworldly soul may fail to attract her attention.

The odds are pretty slim, but Sirius still wanted to be optimistic.

After all, he has no confidence in ignoring her charm.

Thanks to his unique skill, "Stellar Affection," he may be somewhat resistant to her charm but not completely immune.

After all, even some gods are unable to ignore her allure. Not to mention him as a mortal.

Anyway, Freya should be pretty restrained in dealing with him, thanks to his familia.

Unless she wants to drag both Loki and Freya Familia into war.

Sirius thinks that he is not worth so much trouble, right?

When he was in front of the door, Sirius looked at the store symbol for a while and entered.

Like most other places, 'Hostess of Fertility' opens its door at the busiest time in the morning. Although there were not many customers inside.

Well, the reason for this may be the high cost.

Anyway, this place will be pretty full in the evening. Also, it's better for him to eat his meal in a quiet place.

A tall and burly woman wearing an apron was sitting on the counter. She was taking some orders and relaying them to the back kitchen.

Sirius quickly recognized her.

She is the tavern owner, Mia Grand, commonly known as Mama Mia. She is also the former captain of the Freya Familia.

After noticing his arrival, Mama Mia quickly greeted him.

"Welcome to my tavern, boy! What would you like to order?"

Sirius approached the counter and asked, "Well, do you have any recommendations for breakfast?"

Mama Mia smiled after hearing his question and confidently replied, "Of course! We have bacon, omelet, fruit salad, bread, milk, and drinks as well. Do you want them all?"

"Cough, cough, No! I can not eat so much food." Sirius hurriedly rejected her offer. He didn't want to waste food.

"I'll have bacon, omelet, fruit salad, and a glass of milk please!" He quickly gave his order.

"Don't you want any alcohol, kiddo?" Mama Mia asked curiously.

"Nope. I don't want to get drunk so early." Sirius shook his head and rejected her offer. Besides, he didn't like alcohol very much. He only drank them on some special occasions.

"Heh, how can an adventurer not drink? You are a newcomer, so you haven't understood the life of an adventurer. When you come here tonight, I'll give you a drink, understand?"

Mama Mia didn't give him any chance to speak and went to the back kitchen with his orders.

"..." Sirius didn't know how to complain.

How many adventurers has she cheated to be so skillful?

It is a miracle that this tavern can have a good reputation.

"Well-nya, please take your seat, guest! Mama meow has no malicious intent. She just wants everyone to relax and enjoy their drink. Please don't mind-nya!"

When Sirius was standing in front of the counter, a cat girl approached him.

She has brown hair and eyes with cat ears and a tail of the same color. She was wearing a unique uniform of this tavern.

Sirius quickly recognized the girl. Her name is Anya. Although, he forgot her last name.

Anya gently pushed him to a vacant seat with a lovely smile on her face, making him unable to get angry.

Sirius now understands why this place has such a good reputation among adventurers.

They are very skilled in their work.
