NOVEL WEB Chapter 183: Loki's Wavering!
Chapter 183: Loki's Wavering!
After lunch, Luke decided to split up with the two girls.
He needed to return to the residence of Loki Familia to explain to Finn the reason for living outside and to get some of his and Ais's personal belongings.
Ais and Ryuu, on the other hand, went shopping together for daily necessities.
The reason for their separation was because Luke wasn't comfortable leaving Ryuu alone, but to be honest, he wasn't that comfortable with Ais and Ryuu being alone together either…
Soon, Luke crossed West Main Street and Northwest Main Street, all the way back to Twilight Manor on North Main Street.
…
"I see, I roughly understand the situation."
Finn sat behind his desk in his room and looked at the boy.
Speaking of which, Finn's room had gradually replaced the function of the meeting room without anyone realizing it.
It felt like most of the time when there was something to discuss, everyone was here instead of the meeting room.
"I don't have any objections to you two moving out temporarily."
"And there aren't many opportunities to do Astraea Familia a favor. Anyway, you two are living within the city, so I have no objection to this matter."
Finn put aside the documents he was working on.
Rubbing his stiff shoulders, as if he intended to take a short break while talking to Luke, Finn stood up from his chair.
"However, are you sure about cleaning up the members of Evilus?"
Walking to the side and pouring two glasses of water, Finn handed one of them to Luke and continued:
"Our 'Loki Familia' can express its stance at this stage, but we absolutely cannot take action."
"The current Evilus can be said to be cornered on all sides. Any action we take will arouse their vigilance."
"Now that we can drive out Evilus by taking things step by step, I don't want unnecessary conflict and sacrifice due to 'radicalism'."
Taking a sip of water from his glass, Finn stared at Luke very seriously.
"I hope you didn't bring this matter up on a whim out of sympathy or a sense of justice."
"But rather, I hope you brought it up to me after truly considering the feasibility and making all the preparations."
"After all, as a core member of Loki Familia, you will have to bear all the consequences of this decision. Can you do it?"
Finn's words did not shake Luke.
He was well aware of the current situation of Loki Familia.
Being closely watched by all 'evil' and 'gray' forces, they absolutely could not take action now, otherwise, it was very likely that a situation of mutual destruction would occur.
This was also the reason why Luke told Ais that Loki Familia could not help Ryuu take revenge.
"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter."
"So, I have no intention of taking action myself this time, and I will also keep an eye on Ais and prevent her from getting involved."
Luke looked at Finn and made a "reassuring" gesture.
In fact, even if he wanted to help, Ryuu wouldn't agree.
Although Luke told Finn that it was an operation to completely clean up Evilus from Orario, in reality, the essence of this matter was still Ryuu's 'revenge'.
If she didn't personally kill her enemies, then this matter would be meaningless.
"If something goes wrong with this incident, I will naturally bear all the responsibility."
After hearing Luke's guarantee, Finn nodded and approved the matter.
The pallum captain had already been preparing for a plan to deal with the Evilus, and since Luke had his own plans and made a guarantee, he was relieved to leave this matter to him.
…
With Finn's approval, this matter was basically settled.
However, no matter what, their Familia still had a theoretical 'boss', and they had to at least ask for her opinion, even if it was just for the sake of formality.
So Finn turned to Loki in the corner with a helpless expression and said, "Hey, Loki, you heard that, right?"
"What do you think about this matter?"
Luke, who had been subconsciously ignoring Loki, now had to look over there as well.
"Ais-tan is going out to live with a man..."
"Ais-tan is going out to live with a man..."
"Ais-tan is going out to live with a man..."
The red-haired goddess, squatting in the corner muttering to herself and looking at Luke with malicious intent, didn't hear Finn calling her at all.
She didn't even hear what Luke and Finn had just discussed.
From the moment she heard that Luke was going to take Ais to live "alone" outside, Loki couldn't hear anything else.
"Ais-tan is going out to live with a man..."
"Hey, Loki?"
"Ais-tan doesn't want me anymore..."
"Hey, Loki!"
"Maybe I should kill Luke!"
"Loki, if you keep doing this, I'll take it as your acquiescence?"
Finn covered his face.
Although he was used to their goddess's occasional eccentric behavior, he still had the urge to hit someone every time he saw it.
With the mentality of giving it one last try, Finn decided to ask her one last time.
"Loki! If you have no objections, Luke will take Ais to live outside, okay?"
"I have to find a way to get rid of this brat... Hmm? Live outside? No way!!!"
Loki, who finally came to her senses, roared directly.
"I will never allow Ais-tan to live out with a man!!!"
The captain, who had successfully awakened his goddess, gave Luke a look that said 'get her permission and this matter is basically settled', and then silently stood aside, ready to watch the show.
"Luke! With me around, you can forget about taking Ais-tan away!!!"
Looking at Loki, whose face was red with anger, Luke rubbed his forehead helplessly.
However, his goddess's reaction was within his expectations.
Luke, who was well prepared, didn't intend to waste time and directly used his trump card.
"Well, Loki, think about it, isn't Ais currently at the age where she should consider living alone?"
"Absolutely not! Hmm? Ah?... Well, it seems like it's about time."
The sudden change of topic made Loki a little unresponsive.
After listening carefully, although she didn't know why he brought this up, what he said was indeed right.
After all, Ais had been living with Riveria all these years.
But actually, according to her age, Ais should have been living on her own long ago.
However, due to various reasons such as needing someone to take care of her, making it convenient to learn various knowledge, fearing that she would sneak into the dungeon alone, and having nightmares and being unable to sleep alone at night, she had been living with Riveria.
But now these problems were almost solved, and it was almost time for Ais to have her own private space.
"But what does that have to do with you trying to abduct Ais-tan from here?"
"Think about it, if Ais is going to live separately from Riveria, doesn't it require a gradual process?"
Luke looked at Loki, who was gradually calming down, and slowly guided the direction of the topic.
"This process will take a long time, right?"
"And no one can say for sure whether Ais will be resistant to living alone."
"What if she's reluctant to separate from Riveria?"
Luke's change of topic was very effective, and Loki gradually began to think along the new direction.
"If she's reluctant to separate, it will just take a little longer, but it can be done sooner or later."
"But Loki, you have to know that it's good for you if Ais lives alone."
"I can't often go to the women's living area, but you're different, right, Loki?"
Gulp!
Loki swallowed hard.
Luke's words stirred her bad thoughts.
If Ais lives alone, Luke can't go over, but she can go over, and she won't be beaten by the protective mama elf.
A series of imaginations began to form a complete story in Loki's mind, making her excited.
"Don't you think this time when Ais and I are going to live outside temporarily is the best opportunity for her to get used to living alone in advance?"
"After we come back, Ais will have her own room, right?"
"It would originally take a long time for her to slowly get used to living alone, but now there's such a good opportunity to greatly shorten this process, are you really going to object to this matter?"
Gulp!
Loki swallowed hard again.
At this moment, she wavered.
