14 Loki!

"Heh, heh... Ais-tan, she's practicing swords full of energy today! I should go and take a peek at her secretly..."

As soon as the two entered the mansion, a figure ran downstairs.

She had light red hair and red eyes and was wearing tomboyish-style dressing.

The red-haired woman shook her scarlet hair, squinted her eyes, and muttered something perverted. She ignored her surroundings and didn't even notice two people standing before her.

When she was a few steps away from Sirius and the gatekeeper, the woman realized their presence.

"Loki-sama, my greetings to you!"

After finally having her attention, the guard suddenly straightened up and bowed deeply to the other party.

It seems that the identity of this perverted woman is Loki, the God in charge of the Familia.

"Oh? Isn't this Simon? What's the matter? Why are you standing in front of me with such a strange expression?"

Simon, that's the guard's name.

After all, Loki remembers all the names of her familia members, including the guard.

It's just that at this moment, Loki cares more about Sirius standing beside him than Simon.

"Loki-sama, this kid is someone who wants to join our familia. His name is... er..."

Simon wanted to introduce Sirius to his goddess properly, but he suddenly realized that he didn't know Sirius's name.

"Sirius, my name is Sirius Starr, pleasure meeting you, goddess Loki!" Sirius quickly introduced himself and gave her a slight bow.

"Oh? Do you want to join my familia? Yesterday, the guild informed me that someone picked the recruitment for a supporter. Now it seems that the person is you, right?"

Loki's squinted eyes opened a gap, revealing her scarlet eye. She looked at Sirius with some interest.

"Blond and blue eyes heh? You're very handsome and pleasing to the eye, but... there's no breath of God in you! Boy, I think you need to give me some explanation!"

According to their authority and strength, many gods have a disparity after their self-proclaimed divine powers are sealed when coming to the lower realm.

For example, Freya, the goddess of beauty, her eyes can see through a mortal's soul. Even if her divine powers are sealed, she can still release a certain degree of 'charm' effect through her eyes.

Hephaestus, the God of Smithing, possesses an innate forging skill to reach the 'realm of the gods', which is very helpful in making various valuable pieces of equipment for adventurers.

And Loki is the God of trickery. She has no advantage over the two goddesses above in regards to skill.

But she can still see whether a mortal has received the divine blessings or not.

Sirius, a person who did not have Falna, signed up for the recruitment of Loki's familia as a supporter, which made her a bit interested.

"As you can see, I'm just a newcomer in every sense. I just came to Orario yesterday, and haven't joined any familia before. Since I wanted to join the Loki familia, I used some small tricks to be able to meet you. I hope you don't take any offense!"

Although he was mentally prepared to be seen through, speaking aloud still made Sirius smile bitterly.

He honestly expressed all of his thoughts to the goddess.

It is almost impossible for a mortal to lie in front of the gods, and of course, Sirius was not prepared to lie in the first place.

After listening to his honest explanation, Loki smiled and nodded in appreciation, unlike Simon, who was looking at him as a warrior.

"That's right, boy! I didn't expect you to be a complete newcomer. I personally like smart kids who can use all sorts of tricks to accomplish their goals. I'm in a good mood today, so If I am satisfied with your answers, I will let you join my familia!"

After all, Loki is the God of trickery… Using some tricks and cleverness is not a deduction of points, but it may even be a plus depending on her mood.

And she is in a good mood today.

'Is she serious about choosing someone as her familia based on mood?' Sirius thought so inwardly.

In this way, are all of Loki Familia's members chosen by her based on a whim?

Sirius was complaining frantically at the bottom of his heart, but he still suppressed his dangerous thoughts.

"So, first of all, why do you want to join my familia? If the answer to this question is satisfactory, then I will agree to let you join!"

Loki had already made her decision and just wanted to tease Sirius some more.

Isn't it a tradition for older members of the familia to bully newcomers?

"The reason, you ask? I feel that I can get along well with you, goddess Loki~ After all, we two have similar interests." Sirius wanted to give a serious reply but then caught sight of the playfulness hidden beneath her eyes, so he changed his answer accordingly.

"Huh, compatible in every sense?"

This unexpected answer made Loki slightly startled.

"Yes, in every sense." Sirius solemnly nodded,

In a sense, Loki and Sirius have a similar mindset.

They are all decent gentlemen ~

Both of them appreciate good-looking women.

After all, the primary reason for him to choose Loki Familia is because of its members…

It's not all about the good-looking woman…

After hearing his reply, Loki couldn't help but narrow her eyes again. She took his ambiguous words a bit too seriously.

She always felt… that this kid was hinting at something…

What is he implying? And, why does he feel like the same kind of people as me?

"Sirius, you can't answer like that, right?"

Next to him, Simon, who silently watched their conversation, couldn't help but speak.

Even if Loki's character is very unusual, she won't be fooled by such ambiguous words, right?

The opportunity he gave to the kid is about to be missed!

Simon had just thought about this when things began to develop in a direction he could no longer understand.

He saw Loki pondering with a serious expression for a while, then suddenly seemed to be relieved.

"Forget it, I don't understand what you're implying. There's no need for me to waste any more brain cells trying to decipher your words. Your name is Sirius, right? I hope you get along with others in the family~"

Loki's current performance made a question mark appear above Simon's head. Simon thought for a while and gave up thinking.

Then, she stepped forward indifferently, "It's decided then! From now on, you are a member of our familia! There is finally a newcomer in our family after a long time!"

Loki patted Sirius's shoulder and let out a wanton laugh, feeling quite good.

After descending to the lower realm, Loki's character as a god has become much gentler and casual.

In the words of her acquaintance in heaven, she has become a lot more kind.

However, such a casual and carefree Loki has created a friendly atmosphere in her familia.

"It's my honor~" In this regard, Sirius also chucked joyfully.

The remainder of 'Quest completed, reward issued' floating in the lower-left corner of his vision made him feel even better.

"Simon, go and tell everyone the good news. There will be a welcome party tonight. I will take Sirius to complete the ceremony first!"

Loki waved her hands and pulled Sirius to her room to engrave Falna on his back.

At the mansion entrance, Simon's expression went from surprise to speechless, and finally, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Loki-sama is really… carefree as usual…."

After hearing a few words, the big thing, such as joining the familia, was quickly decided by her.

But he can also understand that this has a lot to do with Sirius's innocence.

If he had joined another familia before, Loki would not be so easy to talk to. After all, most gods prefer their familia member to be a pure newcomer.

Just like how a guy prefers his wife to be a virgin!

Sirius had never joined another familia before, so the matter of joining her familia was entirely up to Loki's whim.

It can be said that by the time Sirius and Loki met, this matter was already half concluded.

The welcome party, huh…

There was a smile on Simon's face.

If Sirius's talent was not noteworthy, Simon could gloat at the boy's misfortune.

'Congratulations, there is a new member of the Loki Familia Gatekeeper Team!' Thinking about it, Simon let out a cheerful laugh.
