Danmachi: Reaper

"Well! Since the matter here is settled, how about you consider my earlier offer? Wouldn't it be if you were with us, you could serve Kelvin better?"

Ignoring the awkwardness, Loki suddenly looked at Sylpha as she smiled while rubbing her palms.

Seeing the relationship between the two made her want to take advantage of this situation to pull Sylpha into her family.

After all, although Sylpha had retired as an adventurer several years ago, her strength was real and she was a veteran comparable to Ais.

Moreover, Sylpha had other advantages that surpassed Ais, especially in her breasts and curves.

As a Goddess who loved beauty, how could Loki pass up this opportunity?

"Hah..., unfortunately I can't do that. Although I've retired as an adventurer, but I'm still affiliated with Artemis-sama. Thus, it is impossible for me to become a member of your Family, Loki-sama."

Sylpha let out a tired sigh.

Before Kelvin came, Loki had indeed teased her several times about joining their Family. Moreover, with Kelvin here, Sylpha would most likely not refuse, was what Loki thought after seeing the interaction between the two of them.

Unfortunately, even though she wanted to stay by Kelvin's side, Sylpha could not defect to the Loki Familia, especially since she was still affiliated with the Artemis Familia.

Although she might have retired, but that did not mean she had resigned from the Artemis Familia.

"Hah, too bad~ I thought you would agree right away after meeting Kelvin~"

Loki quickly expressed her disappointment. Even so, she was not completely disappointed, because what Sylpha said did make sense.

She was not like certain "Goddesses" who would take a child from another Family for granted. If the child chose to be with another Family, she would simply give in and would not overreact.

"Unfortunately, that will not happen, Loki-sama. Although I may be Kelvin-sama's servant, that does not mean I can betray Artemis-sama so easily."

Sylpha said looking at Loki seriously, then her gaze turned to Kelvin who was just watching them silently, then after thinking for a moment, she said:

"Even so, it's not impossible that I will help if Kelvin-sama joins your expedition. Of course, I'm there only to look after Kelvin-sama's safety, and the lives of the other members are beyond my responsibility."

"Good! That's enough!" Loki smacked her palm with an excited expression, "Besides, my Family members are not weak. They can take care of themselves."

With the addition of Sylpha, their strength would increase. Although she was not part of their Familia, as long as she accompanied them on the expedition, that alone would be enough to ease the burden on the other members.

Moreover, from what Loki saw, even though she had retired a few years ago, Sylpha was still diligently polishing her skills. That could be seen from her upright and careful build.

And, even though she had not been an adventurer for a long time, it did not mean that Sylpha's strength had decreased. Moreover, she was still very young, not even 20 years old.

"Of course, if Kelvin-sama gets involved and he allows me to join." Sylpha looked at Kelvin as she said this.

And not just her, but Loki and the others were also looking at Kelvin, making the corners of her lips twitch.

"Well, if Loki and the others, as well as Sylpha agree, I can't say no, right?" Kelvin lowered his shoulders as he looked at Finn for confirmation.

Meanwhile, Finn just shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Why not? After all, what we're talking about here is the Silver Blader, an adventurer whose sword techniques are on par or even surpass those of Ais in the past."

As soon as Finn said this, Ais raised her eyebrows, while Lefiya looked at Sylpha with a surprised expression on her face.

Of course, all she knew was that Ais was the most powerful swordswoman, so powerful that she got the Sword Princess Alis. But, Finn said that Sylpha's sword techniques surpassed even Ais?

Even though it was in the past, and Lefiya was certain that her Ais was even stronger nowadays, but she still stared in disbelief.

While Ais did feel that she had seen Sylpha in the past, Lefiya was different.

Due to the characteristics of the Artemis Family, they spent more time outside of Orario and hunted monsters outside of dungeons.

Even so, it wasn't rare for the Artemis Familia to come to Orario. In fact, they always went to Orario to pick up other missions to complete.

It was just that, because they were outside Orario more often, that's why Lefiya almost never heard about Sylpha.

"Ah, by the way, Loki-sama. Can I stay with you guys? Of course, I will pay the full rental fee."

"Hmm, that's a little complicated. What do you think?"

"I think it's a bit problematic. After all, everyone who lives here is our member. So ...."

Riveria didn't need to continue, but everyone understood what she meant.

In other words, even though Sylpha was quite famous and reputable, it didn't mean they would trust her blindly.

She could be a spy from another family, so there was no way they would allow an outsider to stay with them.

"I see. ...." Hearing their answer, Sylpha knew her proposal was rejected this time. She looked at Kelvin sadly as she said, "sorry, Kelvin-sama. It seems that Sylpha cannot serve Kelvin-sama like the previous nights ...."

While Kelvin intended to stop her, Sylpha remained sad as she drew closer to Kelvin.

Of course, Sylpha's words directly made the others who heard her raise their ears, especially Loki.

"Oi, Kelvin! Explain what she meant just now!" Loki shouted angrily, her lips twitching as she waited for Kelvin's explanation.

"Wow!!!" As for the Elf girl, Lefiya, her face was flushed as she covered her face with both hands.

Finn smiled awkwardly, while Riveria just shook her head while holding the bridge of her nose and Ais just stared at them while tilting her head with a confused expression, clearly not understanding what Sylpha meant.

"N-Nah... Sylpha, I don't think you need to say that, right?" Kelvin's lips twitched, although he didn't care if others knew about his nightlife, but that didn't mean he would let others know as if it was nothing.

After all, he was still 15 years old, and that meant he was still underage to do adult things, and here, Sylpha was sharing their night activities as if it was nothing.

Now, Kelvin's good image had naturally collapsed!

"Ah, sorry. I thought Kelvin-sama wouldn't mind sharing a little story about our night with others." Sylpha's head was bowed as she apologized, but others could tell that she did not really feel sorry and was instead enjoying this situation.

"Uhuk, forget that. Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to find another inn or do you want to stay here?" Finn coughed as she looked at Sylpha awkwardly.

"Of course I'll look for an inn around here. And when Kelvin-sama will go to the dungeon, I will personally accompany him." Sylpha said naturally.

"So then, I guess there's no harm, right? After all, Kelvin does need someone who can accompany him if something untoward happens down there?" Riveria held her chin as she looked at Finn and Loki in turn.

With Sylpha's support, Kelvin's safety was guaranteed. Moreover, Sylpha was strong enough to go to the middle floor alone. That way, they didn't have to worry about Kelvin's safety when he went to the dungeon alone.

Although their Familia could have sent their members to form a party with Kelvin, but all their lower-level members were already in their own parties, and it would be inefficient to add Kelvin to one of their parties.

It would certainly change their formation, and their fighting style significantly. On top of that, they also had to practice their teamwork, which was not a quick and easy task.

With Sylpha as support, that could be avoided. Moreover, Sylpha had known Kelvin far longer than them, which meant the two of them could understand each other better than all of them.

"Yes, I don't mind either. After all, the final decision of course lies with Kelvin." Finn shrugged his shoulders in response.

"Hmm, I don't mind. Although I actually have enough myself." kelvin shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Although Sylpha's strength was indeed strong, but she was also not so weak that she needed a companion to go into the dungeon.

Although, Sylpha certainly wouldn't let him off so easily....

"No. I won't let Kelvin-sama go alone! Sylpha will accompany Kelvin-sama wherever Kelvin-sama goes!"

Hearing her words, Kelvin fell silent.

"Even if I go to the bathroom...?"

"Yes! Even if it's to the bathroom!"

"What about sleeping...?"

"Of course Sylpha will sleep next to Kelvin-sama!"

Feeling unable to win, Kelvin could only sigh helplessly. Although Sylpha might be beautiful, but sometimes she was a little troublesome at some point.

"Um, alright ...."

"Yeay!"
