Chapter 405: Tsukasa: "I'm back."

A year without a summer, have you heard of it?

It was a disaster caused by the eruption of Krakatau. During that time, Europe didn’t have sun for the entire year. Many crops died, horses which were the main transportation of the people during that time, couldn’t eat, and it was cold for the entire year.

The Loki Familia is like that now.

The male one was okay, but the female one felt like they had encountered a disaster. They just felt listless and couldn’t eat normally. Their appearance lacked a luster, and they often stayed in a daze.

Even Riveria, who was known as one of the leaders of the Loki Familia, often stayed in the library, read, and in a daze. Still, even so, she didn’t lose her focus regarding the expedition which would happen in the near future, especially when there was a mysterious group that had targeted Ais.

Riveria knew that she needed to put her feelings aside, yet she must admit it was painful that she couldn’t see him for thirteen days.

However, whether it was Finn or Gareth, they didn’t see anything strange from Riveria, but they often wondered when Tsukasa was going to return. Still, it was normal since neither of them had the presence of a woman beside them. Instead, they were more focussed on the matter of their Familia and went on the adventurer.

Even if they had women, it might be some small flings that they might forget over time.

However, Riveria was different since Tsukasa was her first man after so many years, and she believed they would be together from now on until their death.

‘Tsukasa…’

Riveria looked at the cloudless sky through the window absentmindedly.

“Riveria, what do you think?”

Riveria put her focus on the discussion again and started to discuss the expedition.

Unlike Riveria, Tione, who fell in love with Finn, didn’t overthink Tsukasa’s adventurer for the past 13 days. Even though she had a good impression of him, her love for Finn was almost fanatical that it couldn’t be stopped. She also felt it was normal for someone to stay so many days in the dungeon to raise one’s level.

Still, if Tione wasn’t busy with the matter as an executive, she might also go to the dungeon to raise her level. After all, it definitely didn’t feel good when Tsukasa had become a Level 5.

Unlike Ais, who had become Level 6, Tiona, Tione, and Bete, who were the executives of the Loki Familia, were still in Level 5, and they felt an invisible pressure on their backs. They were a Level 5, and they often stayed on top of everyone, so it was natural for them to be quite proud, so they didn’t want to lose to Tsukasa.

Tione and Bete aside, Tiona didn’t really care, and she had been sluggish since she couldn’t see the figure of her loved one.

Ais was also in a similar situation since she couldn’t even concentrate on her training and often made mistakes.

Tione somehow couldn’t handle it anymore and decided to bring her little sister, Tiona, and Ais to buy clothes, so their mood could become better. She also didn’t forget to bring Lefiya since they were part of the group.

The four of them walked to the clothing store to happily try various clothes.

This was what Tione thought, but…

“Ais, what do you think of these clothes?”

“Sigh….”

“Ais, how about this one? This one will make you cuter!”

“Sigh….”

“How about this?”

“Sigh….”

There was a tac-tic-toe on Tione’s forehead before she roared. “Shut up, Tiona!”

However, Tiona didn’t care about her older sister and just sat on the bench lazily, feeling sluggish. Even though she was a Level 5, she felt her energy was drained. She was like a plant that had encountered a drought. Her heart was dry, and she needed him, so she could stay alive.

As for Loki’s boobs that had become bigger, Tiona also forgot about this matter since she was thinking about him.

On the other hand, Ais wasn’t much better. Even if Tione gave her one piece of clothing after another, she didn’t even show a change in her emotion. She was like a lifeless doll. Well, it was quite exaggerated since she was still alive. However, if one had to give an example, she was like a puppy that had lost her master.

Her little tail didn’t shake around as usual. Instead, her tail limply drooped.

This didn’t escape Lefiya’s eyes. She had been feeling conflicted after his appearance. She had always sworn that her love had always been for Ais. Only Ais. This fact didn’t change, and she kept maintaining her love for her, yet everything changed when he appeared.

He was like a storm.

He came so suddenly and wrecked the fortress known as love in her heart.

He invaded her heart like it was nothing, making her unable to stay strong with her love.

Yet Lefiya didn’t give up and persisted, so she still maintained her strong love for Ais.

Yet Ais’s love had never been for her.

Ais loved someone else.

Even though Ais might not be clear what her feelings were, Lefiya was extremely clear. She knew what Ais felt was, and this made it unbearable since she couldn’t do anything at that moment. The only thing she could do was to erase this feeling by strengthening her love for Ais.

That’s why Lefiya was excited about this outing.

This should be the case, yet she couldn’t get excited no matter what.

Lefiya looked at her little feet, which were covered with beautiful shoes.

However, Ais’s sudden action made everyone startled.

“Ais?”

Ais didn’t seem to hear their voices and directly walked out of the store.

“Ais?”

They were confused by her actions, but Ais only said, “Tsukasa has come back.”

“!!!”

—

Tsukasa didn’t waste his time and went directly to the Twilight Manor after his deal with Freya had been completed. While he could feel the killing intent that came from the members of her Familia, especially the executives of her Familia, he ignored them and directly disappeared.

This action made them dumbfounded and sighed helplessly since his concealment presence ability was just too scary.

Tsukasa didn’t intend to kill them since they didn’t pose a threat to him, and he also felt he owed a lot to Freya since he often enjoyed her body.

Anyway, he used his sense of smell directly to search for Loki after he greeted the members of the Familiar that was in charge of the gatekeeper. He didn’t find her in her room. Instead, she stayed in the main room of his studio, which made him speechless. He didn’t hesitate and came, but he really wanted to punish this woman since this woman had made a mess of his room!

“Loki.”

Loki was hugging a bottle of wine in her arms while sleeping on his bed. Hearing his voice, she was stunned and asked, “When did you come back?”

Tsukasa didn’t say much and locked the door before he took off his clothes. “Let’s talk about that matter later.”

“Wa-Wait, how about tonight? I-I’m drunk!”

However, her complaint turned into a moan, and frankly, she was glad that he had returned.
