Issei responded to the mention of Norway, expressing his interest in visiting the country someday. "Norway, huh? I might have to visit there one day. I hear it's pretty."

He then turned his attention to Ddraig, acknowledging the intriguing nature of the information about giants. "Hmm...this stuff about giants is actually pretty interesting. It also raises a lot of questions."

Ddraig suggested seeking further insight from Vritra, Fafnir, and Jormungandr, as they were the surviving dragons with knowledge and experience concerning giants.

"Fafnir, Vritra, and Jormungandr are the only dragons left who have dealt with giants or possess substantial knowledge about them. Grendel and Ladon used to know things too, but they are now our enemies. I recommend asking Vritra about the Daitya when you have the chance. He can provide a better explanation than I can."

Interrupting the silence, Thor engaged Issei in conversation, asking about his night and whether he was a local. "So, how's your night going? Are you a local around here? It seems like the workers know your order by heart."

Issei took the opportunity to inquire about Thor's relationship status. "Yeah, I am... I just bought a new house outside of town, though. So, are you two married?"

Thor immediately denied any marital connection. "No, definitely not! Rossweisse is closer to your age than mine. Besides, my wife is way prettier than her. She's my agent. We're here on a business trip, actually. So, we're not exactly tourists."

Issei couldn't help but find amusement in the situation, causing him to chuckle. "Well, she's not half bad for a foreign girl. Your wife must be a real looker, then."

Thor redirected the conversation toward Ingvild, pointing out her foreign appearance. Issei noticed Ingvild seeking refuge behind him, intimidated by the imposing presence of Magni. "She's not my girlfriend, but we are friends. We go to the same school," Issei clarified.

Thor nodded in understanding. "Ah, okay... Well, don't let that one get away. She's a real looker too. Unless you're one of those purist types who only dates people from their own culture."

Issei dismissed any notion of such narrow preferences, stating, "I don't care about someone's background. If they're attractive and I like them, that's all that matters to me."

Seizing the opportunity to tease Rossweisse, Thor decided to embarrass the Valkyrie by mentioning her appearance. "Hehehe, so you think Rossweisse is pretty?"

Issei glanced at Rossweisse, who seemed mortified and did her best to avoid eye contact. Confirming Thor's remark, Issei nodded, "Definitely one of the prettiest girls I've seen."

Thor couldn't contain his laughter at Rossweisse's embarrassment. "You hear that, Rossweisse? Maybe you can get a boyfriend after all."

Softly, Rossweisse muttered, "You're the worst."

The comment made by Thor not only embarrassed Rossweisse but also left Ingvild equally flushed and self-conscious. The attention of other restaurant patrons was now drawn to their table, where the foreigner and Issei seemed to be engaged in a surprisingly civil conversation. The owners and workers of the establishment appeared particularly intrigued by this unusual interaction.

Issei, quick to rescue the girls from their embarrassment, decided to shift the topic of conversation. "I have to say, you speak Japanese pretty well for a foreigner. Even some of the exchange students at my high school can't speak it that well."

Rossweisse swiftly improvised an excuse, trying to cover up the truth. "Magni is here for a movie... We made him learn the language for his role. It's an action movie. Many details are still under wraps, so we can't share too much until it's officially announced." She blushed, still affected by Issei's earlier compliment.

Although Issei sensed they were not being entirely honest, he detected a certain sincerity in their demeanor. Tilting his head, he remarked, "Man, you look like a Viking if I've ever seen one, Magni."

Thor boisterously chuckled, his amusement filling the air. "Ahahaha! You've seen Vikings even out here, have you?"

Issei shrugged casually. "Well, not in person... just in movies and games. I've met a few Scandinavian people, but they were nothing like you guys."

Thor's laughter continued, as he expressed his fondness for Issei. "I like you, kid. Here, come sit with us. Bar maiden... bring me another drink!" He gulped down yet another bottle of sake, seemingly unfazed by the growing discomfort his presence caused to other guests and the staff. The waitress, maintaining her politeness, approached with a tray full of alcohol. She bowed respectfully as she placed the drinks in front of him.

"Get these before you go," Thor instructed, piling his empty bottles onto her tray.

Ingvild whispered her disapproval from behind, finding Thor's behavior rude. But her comment didn't escape his notice. He shot her a sharp glare. "What did you say, girl?!"

Ingvild immediately retreated behind Issei, her voice barely audible. "Nothing."

Issei agreed to join them at their table, with a hint of a threatening tone. "Sure, I'll eat with you guys. I don't mind talking to new people now and then... as long as you're not here to cause any trouble. I like my city nice and peaceful."

Reluctantly, Ingvild followed suit and took a seat next to Rossweisse, her uneasiness evident. Rossweisse attempted to hide her concern by eating a bit quicker, her anxiety masked by her deep gulps. Both girls seemed to shrink, trying to become invisible as Issei and Thor carried on their conversation.

Thor, noticing Issei's jacket, found it intriguing. "That's a cool jacket you have on. It's a Western dragon, right? Most people in the East wear Eastern dragon iconography, from what I've seen."

Issei observed Thor's relatively clear speech despite his apparent drunken state. He narrowed his gaze slightly. "Thanks..."

Curiosity gleamed in Thor's eyes as he inquired, "Do you like dragons?"

Issei responded with a dry tone, clearly stating the obvious. "Obviously, I do."
