Danmachi: The Sign In System!

Chapter 127 - Loki: Orsted!!

After Hestia trotted over, Orsted nodded to Miach and Naaza, and the three followed.

"Orsted, you're stunning today. None of those male gods hold a candle to you," Tsubaki eyed his outfit and appearance with a sigh, praising him unabashedly.

Miach, behind Orsted, smiled in agreement. 

Orsted's usual charm was amplified by today's attire, radiating a luminous allure.

"Orsted, long time no see," a gentle voice called.

They turned to see Demeter, in a pink dress, hands clasped before her, smiling as she approached. 

Unlike Orsted's group, she came alone, surprising them, though they didn't pry.

"Long time no see, Demeter," Orsted replied softly, nodding.

Demeter greeted Hestia and Miach, then joined their divine chat. 

Orsted, Tsubaki, and Naaza, not wanting to interrupt, talked among themselves.

"How do I look, Orsted?" Naaza asked, lifting her skirt's hem and twirling slightly, cheeks flushed.

"Beautiful."

"Thanks to you," Naaza said softly, touching her restored arm.

"Naaza, your arm's healed? Orsted's doing, I bet," Tsubaki said, slinging an arm around her with a grin.

"Yeah, thanks to Orsted," Naaza replied calmly.

As they spoke, two more gods approached with their adventurers.

"Hey, Orsted-kun! Been a while," Hermes called, waving in a quirky suit and tie, followed by Asfi in a dress and Takemikazuchi in a suit. 

Takemikazuchi's body language screamed distaste for Hermes.

"Lord Hermes," Orsted greeted.

"Hermes, Takemikazuchi," Tsubaki said.

"Lord Hermes, Lord Takemikazuchi," Naaza added.

"Hey, Orsted, I've been wanting to chat, but no chance. Got time after the banquet?" Hermes asked, smiling.

"Uh…" Orsted hesitated, about to decline, when Hestia swooped in, yanking Hermes away. 

"Hermes, you're here! Let's catch up—been ages!"

Orsted: Nice save, Hestia. 

He'd dreaded dealing with the troublemaker.

Takemikazuchi nodded to Orsted's group and followed Hestia. 

The gods joined the divine huddle, leaving Asfi behind.

Orsted barely knew her, but his charisma quickly warmed the air. 

A few exchanges dissolved any awkwardness, and the conversation flowed easily.

A sudden voice cut in. 

"Sir, may I have your name?"

They turned to see a female elf in a dress, hand on her chest, gazing at Orsted with reverence.

"Orsted. And you?" Orsted replied gently, unsurprised.

"Lord Orsted, I'm Lilith Kolantel, an adventurer of the Tarassa Familia. If you ever need aid, please call on me," Lilith said respectfully, then departed.

Tsubaki and the others gaped, ready to ask what just happened, but more elves approached, each showing Orsted respect, as if he were elven royalty.

The scene stirred a memory in Tsubaki: Orario's Dark Age, when elves flocked to Riveria, deferring to her. 

Is Orsted elven royalty like Riveria? she wondered, her eyes glinting with intrigue.

Asfi, observing, saw a spark of revelation behind her glasses. 

This is big.

"Phew, finally done," Orsted said, handling the last elf guest.

"Orsted…" Naaza began, about to ask.

"Hey, Orsted, long time no see! Miss me?" Loki sauntered over in a red suit, Ais trailing in a green dress.

Naaza: "..."
