The landmarks he remembered clearly led to the North Street where the Loki clan lived, but in the end they led him to the West Street and Northwest Street, that is, in front of the rich hostess tavern bordering the Adventurer Street. In addition, the way he approached the conversation gave him a strong sense of déjà vu...

This was arranged clearly...

But when was she targeted? And why did she target her?

Questions popped up in Lieyan's mind. At the same time, the gray-haired girl opposite him was also curiously looking at the human in front of him with amazing height.

She had noticed the flames a few days ago, but she didn't care at first. A new member joined Loki's family, and then the old members of the family took the new member to the dungeon. This was something that every big family (except Freya's family) would do. What was there to care about?

What's more, although the soul of the newcomer was very bright in color, the color was no different from that of ordinary adventurers. It looked like Ota, filled with a lot of blood. He was a very pure warrior and hunter, so she only thought that Lieyan was a treasure newcomer that Loki dug out from somewhere.

But in the following days, the level of people who appeared next to Lieyan kept decreasing. Today, there was no one left, leaving Lieyan alone to go down to the dungeon. This made her interested. According to her understanding of Loki's followers, this kind of action of bringing in new members should last longer.

Is it because Lieyan has some talents that she can't see clearly, or is it because of some other reason?

The street girl was very curious.

"I'm sorry, young lady, this magic stone is not mine. Why don't you ask the adventurers in the tavern? Maybe they dropped it."

Taking a deep breath, Lieyan cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and spoke calmly without being humble or arrogant.

At this point, there is no point in saying anything else. Just keep the current state and muddle through the problems.

"I've already asked the adventurers in the room. They're all high-level adventurers, and no one has ever dropped such a low-level magic stone. Forget it. Since we can't find the missing person, I'll just accept it."

The gray-haired girl put the magic stone into her pocket, and then her eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep across the clown logo on the chest of the flame cloak, and she said in surprise: "Oh, so you are from the Loki clan, Mr. Adventurer? No wonder - but don't adventurers from the Loki clan usually act in groups? Where are your companions, Mr. Adventurer?"

Such an emotional reading... Didn't you just come up with this line? My name is written backwards, so I will just call him Yanlie from now on.

"They were all dealing with the expedition, and the part I was responsible for had already been dealt with. I was bored, so I simply went down to the dungeon."

As he spoke, Lieyan shook the backpack behind him, and the magic stones inside made a collision sound, indicating that what he said was true.

expedition……

The gray-haired girl blinked her eyes, and suddenly realized,

Oh, indeed, it is that time already.

Chapter 30: You didn’t expect the hunter’s appetite!

"Excuse me, Miss Clerk, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Seeing that the gray-haired girl seemed to be thinking about something, Lieyan immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued her. To be honest, the true identity of the girl in front of him really frightened him. If he could fool her like this, it would be perfect.

But unfortunately, Lieyan wanted to run away, but the girl didn't intend to let him go so easily. She raised her head, looked Lieyan up and down, and then showed a sly smile.

"Mr. Adventurer, since we are here, and your Loki family is also a big customer of our tavern, how about having dinner here tonight? I will ask Mother Mia to give you a discount, is that okay?"

As she spoke, the girl blinked her eyes, and like a witch, she showed a pitiful expression again, clasped her hands together, as if begging.

“…I didn’t bring any cash today.”

"You can use magic stones to pay off the debt~~"

The gray-haired girl narrowed her eyes, and her face seemed to be filled with the words "You can't escape".

Blaze: ...

Seeing that the escape route was completely blocked, Lie Yan could only sigh helplessly in his heart and said,

"Then excuse me."

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. How can you say that it's a bother to have guests come to dine? The guest is so big, he must have eaten a lot. My salary will definitely increase tonight."

The girl, whose plan succeeded, showed an even brighter smile, as bright as a blooming flower. Lieyan silently lowered his eyes, thinking in his mind what he should do to finish the meal without revealing any flaws - the equipment he was wearing was quite special, and if it was placed in front of a discerning person, it would probably be difficult not to be noticed.

And it just so happens that the tavern in front of him, from the manager to the waiter, are no simple people.

How can I put it... Fortunately, he was equipped with the Blue Bear Beast Wrist Guard. Although the Blue Bear Beast's fur is very special, it is not very eye-catching in this world, so it should be no problem to fool him.

perhaps.

Lieyan thought about it and felt that it should be okay to eat with only hands exposed. At this time, the girl had excitedly crossed the open-air coffee seat and came to the door of the hall. She shouted towards the counter inside: "A new customer, a new member of Loki's family, Mia mother, remember the discount!"

"Shut up! The store is going to be busy soon, come back and help!"

The tall dwarf working at the counter spoke impatiently.

Yes, a tall dwarf. Although it is contradictory, it is true. The dwarf at the counter is 180cm tall, a veritable little giant whose height is enough to look down on all dwarves.

"Okay, please come in, Mr. Adventurer. I'm Xi'er, Xi'er Frois. What's your name, Mr. Adventurer?"

Xier responded to Mia's mother's call, and then turned to look at Lieyan.

"Fire."

"Then Mr. Lieyan, please."

Xier reached out her hand and led Lieyan into the tavern. She then came to the other waiters wearing the same uniforms like a butterfly. After greeting Lieyan again, she started to get busy.

Her curiosity about Lieyan had not yet subsided. Although she knew that Lieyan had gone down to the dungeon alone because his clan was preparing for an expedition, she still knew nothing about Lieyan's origins.

Of course, she wanted to know this information not because she had a crush on Lieyan and wanted to snatch him from Loki.

As a fellow villager from the same area, she knew Loki very well. Although Loki could usually laugh and joke with her and have a good relationship with her, that was because his temper had improved a lot after he came to the underworld.

But if you try to touch the children of her clan, that guy will tear off his disguise and reveal his evil nature.

Even she didn't want to annoy that guy.

——Unless the boss.

The reason why she noticed Lieyan was simply because she found it interesting.

In a nutshell,

She likes to interact with strangers. The unknown in strangers makes her feel excited and hungry.

Well... although the adjective is very powerful, it is absolutely true.

That's why Xier decided to use some tricks to trick Lieyan into the tavern. While generating income, she would also use chatting to get in touch with this complete stranger in her eyes little by little in order to satisfy her own desire.

But soon, Xier realized that something seemed to be wrong.

That is--

How can this person eat so fast!!!

Seeing a whole plate of spaghetti being sucked up by Lieyan's two mouthfuls of wind, and Lieyan himself holding up a huge wine glass and gushing, while signaling to continue serving the food, Xier felt her cheeks twitching a little.

There is no chance to sit down and chat!

Xier brought up delicious-looking food one after another, but before she could catch her breath, the edible parts of the food disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of bones and leftovers on the plate forming a small mountain. The adventurers nearby cheered at the presence of such a big eater, and some even started a bet to see how much this strong man could eat.

Even Mia herself was alarmed. She stopped what she was doing, put her hands on the counter, leaned her head out, looked at Lieyan who was eating and drinking, and laughed out loud.

"I didn't expect such a big eater to come to my shop. What's your name, kid from Loki's family?"

"Just call me Lieyan." Lieyan replied, and at the same time took the next plate of food brought by Xier, and continued to eat his meal with his head down.

I didn't expect that, Xi'er, this is his plan!!

Don't underestimate the hunter's appetite and eating speed! ! You can just pass the food between the kitchen and my position! Hahahahaha!

"Okay, I'll remember you. Come often in the future. I'll treat you well. This meal is free for you, so feel free to eat as much as you want!"

Across the counter, Mia gave Lieyan a thumbs up, feeling particularly happy.

"Wait, Mia's mother, if Mr. Lieyan's meal is free, then my commission..." Xi'er, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard this, as if struck by lightning.

"What are you thinking about? Since it's free, there's no commission." Mia's mother said with a relaxed look: "It's impossible that we can deliver food for free and give you extra salary."

Xier: ...

Mia, what you said makes sense.

But if that's the case, it seems like she has lost out today!

Chapter 31: New Skill: Bull Killer!

On the way back to his clan, Lieyan couldn't help but think about what had just happened.

It was really thrilling just now. Fortunately, he ate enough and fast enough.

However, the Rich Hostess is indeed a good restaurant. Apart from the all-beautiful waiters, the wine and food are unexpectedly good, even better than the cafeteria of Loki's family.

I think I saw someone spoiler saying that the owner, Mia's mother, was the leader of Freya's family and was also responsible for the meals of the entire family.

If you think about it carefully, isn't the role of Mia's mother the squad leader of the cooking squad in the army? She has to do both cooking and fighting, and both hands have to be good at it. Now the squad leader has retired from the army and opened a restaurant, and she has become more proficient in cooking.

No wonder the food here is so delicious.

But speaking of this, oh, if I had known this in my previous life, I should have read some novels written by Dicuo. I didn't expect that after I turned on the cheat code for anime, I would have to rely on the spoilers in the bullet screen to avoid the problem.

I don't want to be spoiled about the original story, but at least I can read the spin-off novel. It's obvious that my development path follows the story of Sword Princess.

Unfortunately, the little information he knows now is basically not worth mentioning. Time has passed, and the things in his memory have become vague. Up to now, the most impressive spoiler information about the tavern is that Seele is Freya's half, and Mia's mother is a member of Freya's family who has changed careers.

It was precisely because of this that Lieyan had walked around the tavern before, not daring to get close, for fear that Freya would notice him.

But from this time, it seems that Xier didn't find anything special about him?

How should I put it... This is a good thing, but...

cough cough.

I've gone off topic. In short, being able to come back safely is a victory!

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lieyan successfully returned to Loki's clan.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"I need to update my ability values, Loki."

On the spiral staircase, Lieyan, who had changed into casual clothes, caught Loki, who was about to return to his room after having a few drinks at dinner. He wanted to drink until he was drunk and then have a good sleep as the children were going on an expedition tomorrow.

"Hiss—that's fine."

The original plan was interrupted, and Loki acted as if she didn't care. She pushed open her door and led Lieyan into the messy house.

However, despite the clutter, there was a bench and a stool neatly placed in the center of the room, and on one side of the bench were some tools used when updating ability values ​​placed randomly.

The familiar operation was carried out again. Lieyan took off his shirt with ease, revealing his broad arms. As for Loki, he picked up the silver needle from the tool beside him with a numb face and pierced his fingers that were already full of holes.
