[Chapter Size: 1911 Words.]Lucius POVHostess of Fertility.

  ...

  ...

  When I was heading to the table under everyone's gaze, I couldn't help but hear Loki interrupting me.

  "Wait, kid! Tell me your name?" Loki asked, and I got a little annoyed with her callihat, almost calli-chested as well.

  "Lucius Drakenar, Goddess Loki," I said calmly.

  She just nodded, but I saw her gaze directly at me, trying to see all my secrets.

  After I finally sat at the table, it didn't take long for Hestia to join us, after getting tired uing with Loki. Even as I focused on Bell aia discussing what to order, I could sense, Riveria must occasionally, especially the younger elf beside her, who should be cursing me for seeming so bold publicly. Bete was in a bad mood while drinking fiercely but didn't do anything because his goddess was there, the Amazons were whispering, the ander just analyzed me for a moment but didn't say anything, the dwarf found my attitude amusing and praised me for the ce, Aiz had a ral look that kept returning to Bell from time to time.

  "Mr. Bell, do you already know what to order?" A voice came o Bell.

  "Syr, ara-rge potion of potatoes with cheese and sausage, please, an e juie," said Bell.

  "I want a beer!" Hestia added.

  "A 24-year-old Scote," I said, making my panions a little stunned, not because I chose whiskey but because I ordered a whole bottle.

  "What's the matter? I'm here to celebrate!" I protested while Bell aia tio look at me.

  "I'm of legal age, I'm over 18." I murmured.

  "Hahaha, your panion is quite iing, Bell," said Syr, and I shuddered when I heard that.

  'Not you, please! Pay attention to your Bell, make that sacrifie, Bell, I t on you to shine and overshadow me for a while!' I said internally.

  Our orders were brought to the table by Syr.

  "A toast!" shouted Hestia as we raised s to toast.

  The sound of the mugs g greatly improved the atmosphere after the discussions we had a moment ago.

  Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Lucius, there was a discussion at aable.

  "Who is he, Riveria? I see you look at him from time to time," Tiona said curiously.

  "Well... I met him with Aiz in the dungeon... a few days ago..." Riveria said calmly, trying not to break her posture, even with the embarrassing question.

  "He's just a weakling! There's no reason to pay attention to him!" Bete growled.

  "But the young man has ce, I have to admit. I've never seen a on our princess. HAHAHAHA," Gareth couldn't help but ugh.

  "This kid thinks he steal mommy!? I'm going to teach him a lesson and that chibi if he tries to get close to my Riveria!" Loki decred angrily.

  "What do you think of him, Loki?" Finn's voice was heard, and Loki became serious now, even her eyes opened a bit.

  "He's weak, that's obvious, but I'm the god of trickery and see things ods 't... He has something and it's something quite powerful... but even I 't identify what it is," Loki said, not sounding like a drunk.

  "That's what I thought, something about him isn't right, my instincts are flig, he's someohat a this table could handle in seds, but everyone would be shocked having a fight with him, I don't know if it's good or bad," Finn said.

  "He's still a weakling, I could end him... he said he'd surpass me, I doubt a weakling like him would do that..." Bete grumbled a bit drunk.

  "You know him, Riveria, what do you think of him?" The dwarf asked the superior elf.

  "I met him wearing street clothes on the seventh floor; he looked like a beggar if I saw him on any street outside the dungeon," she said, stunning everyone.

  "I initially thought someohrew him out of the duo die, but he seemed calm and well, just a little tired. When I offered help with Aiz, he refused and cast a quickly ted spell to say he was fine. I got ied in the magic as a fellow magi," Riveria said.

  "Are you sure you were only ied in his magic?" Tiona asked, teasing the elf.

  "Of course, even though he had a very pleasant versation, I was ied iential, seeing that humans are weaker with magid he showed himself strohan most high elves!" Riveria excimed with a bit of embarrassment with the insinuation, but she tried to appear stern.

  "He also didn't want to talk about his family, but it seems he didn't have ohat day, a pity because I would have invited him to ours," Riveria said.

  "Damn that chibi! How he be so lucky? He seems so iing, despite being weak," Loki grumbled.

  "He seems quite ied in you, Riveria; I wish the captain were like that with me!" Tione said, menting, while drinking.

  Aiz remained silent throughout the whole versation with a stoic face while drinking her juice, just like Lefiya, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.

  After this discussion without Lucius knowing, the Loki family now alsot about us ao take care of their own business among themselves, of course, there were some g us all night since we were quite unknown to the whole city, but I didn't care about that and even fot about Riveria to spend time with my family.

  "Bell, you should have invited your support!" I said trying to make the boy rex a bit.

  "I invited! But she didn't want to e..." He said awkwardly.

  "Support? What support?" Hestia excimed, like a woman who had caught her husband with a lover in bed. I found it funny, so I started teasing and adding more fuel to the fire.

  "A woman that Bell hangs out with now, they're alone in the dungeon, I saw them today... I wonder what they do in those dark corridors," I said with a smile.

  "EHHHH?! It's not what you think, Mr. Lucius! She's my support, and we work together, sharing!" He excimed desperately.

  "BBBBBEEEEELLLLLLL!!!!!!" Hestia shouted furiously, wanting to get an expnation from Bell about this unknown girl, while Bell died of embarrassment, as everyone around us suddenly turheir gaze to the boy.

  "HAHAHAHA" I started ughing at this iion, seeing it in person is better than in the anime, plus the whiskey is having some effect, and I'm getting a bit drunk.

  "So, this is your family, brat!" A new voice pulled me out of my ughter, and I saw a shadow c me. Mama Mia was the one who spoke o us; she came to the table to deliver an of beer to Hestia.

  "Yes, Miss Mia, this is my goddess, Hestia, and the other is our new member, Lucius," Bell said.

  "Hmmm... This one has ce... Despite being so skinny... Maybe you eat more." She said with a smile, wanting to sell me some items from her menu.

  "Hello Mama Mia, I don't know you, but I already like you." I said, I've always liked her character, so I leased to say that in person.

  "Sorry, young man, you're too skinny and too young for me, your trick doesn't work on me like it did with my waitresses, by the way, tell me what the hell you did there?" She said with a forced smile while pointing to Anya and Chloe.

  Both were gathered in a er looking at the two of us, seeming to avoid work, while Ryuu and Syr were overwhelmed with work; they were blushing behind the menu while whispering, but I didn't have very good hearing to hear their versation.

  "Not me, maybe, charisma and personal charm?" I said ughing, but not because I think of myself that way, it was more of a drunk joke.

  "Hmm... I see yoing to give me trouble, so I'll order a dish for your loss not to be so great." She said, and I shrugged.

  "I 't disagree, so send me your best dish, Mia!" I said with a smile, and she smiled equally, not g that I was so informal with her.

  The rest of the night was fun; Anya and Chloe really escaped from work to sneak up on our table.

  "Nyaahh! Lucius-Nyah, are you o Orario-Nyah?" Anya was by my side without aig; she was a level 4 assassin, so it's uandable.

  "ly, I've been here for 2 years; I was from a middle-sized family, but because of some events, today I find myself with Hestia and Bell." I smiled.

  "Really-Nyah?" Another voice appeared on my other side, Chloe.'Darn! I almost had a heart attack here.' I jumped in surprise to face the new presence.

  "2 years is quite a long time; that's why you're s, Mr. Lucius?" Bell asked.'Strong? I must have lower stats than you.' I excimed internally.

  "I'm weak still, Bell, but I will bee strong." I decred.

  "I think the same!" He said while looking at aable with a certain blonde.

  Hestia was silent; she knew Bell's secret and Lucius's past, not wanting to say anything about either of them.

  "What was your family, Nyahh?" Anya asked.

  'I thought that would be the most frequent question i few days, but no one had asked the million valis questio.' I thought to myself.

  "I don't think this will be hidden forever, so I'll tell you." I said and saw their faces bee expet expressions.

  "I was a member of the...H"

  "NYAHHH?!!"

  "NYAHHH?!!"

  Before even answering, Mama Mia appeared and pulled the ears of the beautiful cat-girls and took them back to work.

  "You see? Young man, I'm having trouble because of you; I hope you spend a good amount to pensate for this!" She decred easily.

  "Then give me another bottle of Scotch." I said.

  "Are you sure you don't want a wine from the Soma family? It's more expensive..." She asked with a pyful tone.

  "Nahhh, I'm not into wine, but thanks, Mia." I smiled.

  The rest of the night was fuia was getting drunk with her beer mugs, while Syr came to talk to Bell and got scolded like Anya and Chloe, but we had good ughs.

  With Anya, Chloe, and Syr avoiding work, Mia decred that she would charge us double, which made Hestia cry in the end. While Ryuu was lookiionlessly at us, I wondered if she was angry because we were the cause of her having to work four times more on a busy night.

  In the end, we decided to go home.

  'I hope my future wife doesn't think I'm a pyboy after seeing the waitresses surround our table so much.' I couldn't help but think as I looked at Loki's table while we were closing the bill.

  Bete was staring at me drunkenly; I wi him because I was drunk too, and he growled with some members of his table ughing at that.

  Thearted to leave; it was a satisfying night, after eating, drinking, and ughing for hours. The Loki family still stayed at the Pub, and we left under some of their gnces.
