Chapter 63: Back To Twilight Manor!
"Nya~ Although I hate you, come and visit us later." Anya was pleased to see Sirius punished by Mama Mia, and her tail couldn't stop shaking in excitement.
Although whenever Sirius came here, he would tease and bully her, Anya was delighted to see Mama Mia doing the same to him.
She especially loves it when Mama Mia forces him to pay the overpriced bill.
Maybe, this is what 'One's happiness is built upon someone's else suffering' means.
Anya may unexpectedly have the talent to be a black-hearted businesswoman.
Sirius, who was leaving the store, heard Anya's voice, turned around, and looked at the stupid kitten with a contemptuous smile.
"Heh, just you, Anya~" After saying this, he walked straight out of the tavern and closed the door.
Inside the store, the cat-girl was stunned by his words and suddenly sensed something wrong.
Anya felt that Sirius used her name as a derogatory term.
"Pfft…Haha…Anya, your name has become an insult, nya~" Chloe, beside Anya, couldn't stop laughing.
"Anya…puff~" Lunoire also giggled.
Obviously, Anya wasn't the only one who realized this. The two others beside her also realized this and laughed.
"Nya!! It's not funny. Don't laugh!" Anya protested angrily.
"Sorry, Normally we won't laugh at our friend…." Chloe said.
"Unless we can't help it…." Lunoire completed the words.
"Hahaha…" x2
Chloe and Lunoire said the lines they stole from someone and laughed happily after speaking. Their laughter reached the back kitchen, maybe even outside the tavern.
"Chloe! Lunoire! You two get back to work!!"
However, the two laughing waitresses were not happy for long when a loud voice froze their movement.
Chloe and Lunoire paused and started sweating profusely in nervousness. They recognized the owner of the sudden voice. It was Mama Mia.
Ryuu brought out some working utensils from a room, looked at the scene, and sighed.
In a sense, Mama Mia is right about Sirius. His presence will indeed affect the work efficiency of the tavern employees.
The scene before her was another example. Although Sirius left the tavern a while ago, Anya and the others were still making a fuss over his words.
If he were present, then things would become bigger. Even Syr couldn't withstand his tease and went out.
'Oh wait, it seems that Syr went out to buy some things. It has nothing to do with Sirius…' Ryuu realized this.
…
After leaving the Hostess of Fertility, Sirius headed toward the Northern district.
All he wanted to do for now was lie down on his bed.
It's not that he was physically tired or anything. He just wanted some rest.
Sirius made up his mind not to enter the dungeon today. He would either take a nap or daze around.
After working so hard for the last few days, he needed proper rest.
It didn't take long for Sirius to reach Twilight Manor after passing through the residential area.
"Yo, look who's here! Sirius, I'm glad that nothing happened to you in the dungeon." When he arrived in front of the gate, a familiar guard greeted him in surprise. It was Simon.
"Eh..what!?" But Sirius was stunned after hearing Simon's words.
'What does he mean? Did Simon think I had an accident…' Sirius couldn't help wondering.
He just returned, and the first sentence the guard tells him is not a friendly greeting but a surprise that he is alive. After twisting the meaning, it can even be considered a curse.
"Oh, sorry… I didn't mean it in a bad way. It's been a few days since you went inside the dungeon and there was no news. Goddess Loki was worried about your safety…."
Simon realized his gaffle after looking at his stunned expression and hurriedly explained.
At the same time, Simon also told him what happened after the expedition team returned.
Because of Tiona's straightforward speech, many peripheral members of Loki Familia also heard about Sirius's situation and believed that he had encountered an accident.
Although Loki explained the situation afterward, only the core members of the familia knew about it, which led to the problem that the others really believed that something had happened to Sirius.
They even had a private discussion on teaming up for rescue operations.
'These guys are a bunch of good guys… It would be better if they would stop believing in every rumor…' Sirius felt warm after hearing this.
Although Sirius was considered a core member of the familia due to his talents, he didn't forget to have a good relationship with other weaker members.
So, he was happy to hear about their rescue operation. It meant that his past efforts were not in vain.
After talking with the other guards for some time, Sirius walked into the Twilight Manor with an indescribable expression.
Since the expedition just returned, the manor is not too lively because they need to exchange the loot brought from the dungeon.
Or provide materials to allied familias such as Goibniu Familia and Dian Cecht Familia. The expedition team members need to make/repair their weapons and buy some potion/elixir.
In short, none of the expedition team members have time for rest. They need to finish this matter quickly.
Also, there will be a celebration feast after every expedition. Loki had already asked some people to reserve seats in Hostess of Fertility tonight.
Even so, there are still some people inside the manor.
Every time he passed by them, they would show similar surprise on their faces as Simon and Sirius would kindly explain the situation.
…
In the Central tower, Conference room,
All the cadres have left the room for the time being. Bete was in charge of buying new supplies, while Ais, Lefiya, Tione, and Tiona were responsible for selling the harvest.
Therefore, only Finn was left in the conference room with Loki bored beside him. He was dealing with some important documents.
Even Riveria and Gareth left this place because of something.
"Oh? Sirius seems to be back~ I just saw him." Loki was holding a glass of scarlet wine with some ice cubes.
Looking outside the window, she saw a familiar blond figure stepping into the gate of Twilight Manor.
"Is that so? It looks like your worries are in vain, Loki…." Finn raised his head from a pile of documents and smiled.
"It seems so…he doesn't seem to realize the situation. It looked like the other children really believed what Tiona said before. Maybe I should have explained the situation to everyone…." Loki didn't confront Finn's remarks and easily diverted the topic.
"What did Tiona say?" The pallum captain was confused and quickly realized.
"Is it the rumor that Sirius had an accident in the dungeon? Did the others really believe this?" Finn was surprised.
"Well, it seems so. Even Raul pulled Aki to team up and rescue him in the dungeon. They would have gone by now if I hadn't stopped them and explained the situation…." Loki recalled this.
"It looks like Sirius will be tired after meeting them later…." Loki chuckled after thinking about something funny.
