Multiverse DanMachi: My Kevin Template Joins the Chat Group

"...I'm here."

"Yes, welcome."

Syr, dressed the same as she had been that morning, greeted Ling Xuan.

As he walked through the still-open entrance, she called out in a clear, ringing voice:

"One customer—!"

Ling Xuan skillfully found himself a seat and sat down.

It was at the corner of the long row of bar seats.

"Honestly, it's been days since I last saw you. If it weren't for Syr, were you not even planning to visit my tavern?"

Miach Grand's hearty voice rang out.

"If you don't spend properly here today, I'll settle the score with you! Syr told me you've got quite the appetite!"

Hearing that, Ling Xuan's mouth twitched slightly.

He immediately turned to look at Syr, who promptly averted her gaze.

Then she let out a cute little sound.

"...Ehehe."

Seeing that, Ling Xuan's brow twitched.

Trying to get away with it by being cute, huh?

Forget it. With his income, even buying this tavern would not be difficult.

Of course, the owner in front of him probably would not sell it.

After that, he ordered quite a few expensive dishes to boost Syr's performance.

Halfway through the meal, Syr came over to Ling Xuan's side.

"How is it? Does it taste alright?"

"It's delicious."

Syr nodded, her pale gray hair swaying as she removed her apron. She picked up a round stool from beside the wall and sat down next to Ling Xuan.

"Don't you need to work?"

"The kitchen's busy, but we have enough servers. And it's fairly quiet right now."

As she spoke, Syr cast an inquiring look toward the female owner on the other side.

The owner grinned and lifted her chin in approval.

Ling Xuan said nothing further.

"Thank you for this morning. The bread was delicious."

After chatting briefly, a noisy commotion came from outside.

Suddenly, a large group of more than a dozen people entered the tavern.

Without a doubt, they were all members of the Loki Familia.

Displaying Sovereignty, Winning Favor ### At this very moment.

The group from the Loki Familia had finally arrived at the tavern.

Ye Ling's gaze settled on Ais's face.

Her delicate features looked as though they might break at the slightest touch, exquisite and beautiful. Rather than a finely crafted doll, she resembled a fairy or elf straight out of a fairy tale.

Her especially striking golden eyes were translucent and clear, enough to make one gasp for no reason at all.

Her willow-leaf brows did not move, and her expression was calm and composed.

Among the many powerful figures entering the tavern was the person I had long admired.

In truth, Ais was not calm at all right now.

She had been looking forward to this moment.

After all, she had known in the dungeon that Ling Xuan would appear here as well.

For some reason, a faint expectation had taken root in her heart.

"Oh, what a pretty little girl!"

"Idiot, no. Look at the emblem."

"...Damn."

The surrounding customers also stirred as soon as they recognized the Loki Familia.

They leaned close together and began whispering as though discussing secrets.

"So that's..."

"...the Giant Killer's Familia."

"A gathering of First Class Adventurer stars."

"Which one is the famous Sword Princess?"

The wave-like murmurs were all tinged with fear. Some people even whistled at Miss Wallenstein and the other female members.

After the Loki Familia entered the tavern, Ais immediately looked around!

Very quickly, she spotted Ling Xuan sitting in the corner...!

No, it was not just Ling Xuan!

There was also a girl beside him, chatting happily with him. They seemed to have a very good relationship.

What... was their relationship?

For some reason, that question surfaced in Ais's heart.

Her initial joy felt as though a basin of cold water had been poured over it.

Distracted, she was pulled to a seat by her companions and sat down.

By coincidence, Ais's seat was directly opposite Ling Xuan.

Seeing this, Syr could not help frowning.

"Alright, everyone worked hard on the dungeon expedition! Today, we drink until we drop! Drink!"

Finn stood up and led the toast.

The members of the Loki Familia immediately began laughing and making merry.

Clink!

They knocked their beer mugs together and heartily stuffed food and liquor into their mouths.

Although everyone seemed to be having a great time, Ais was clearly absent-minded.

From time to time, she glanced toward Ling Xuan.

Her mind kept examining the relationship between Ling Xuan and Syr.

As the Loki Familia entered the mood of celebration, the other customers also seemed to wake from a dream and raised their glasses to drink!

Meanwhile, noticing Ais's distracted state, Bert the Werewolf took the initiative to bring up a topic.

"By the way, Ais! Tell them about what happened last time!"

"That incident?"

"You know, when several Minotaurs escaped on the way back! The last one actually ran all the way to the fifth floor. We were planning to deal with it, but it was unexpectedly taken down by a rookie adventurer."

"What? A rookie adventurer? Doesn't that mean Level 1? Are you saying a Level 1 adventurer defeated a Level 2 Minotaur?"

Upon hearing that, everyone present reacted uneasily, saying it was impossible.

"Are you bullshitting?"

"Even if you're from the Loki Familia, you can't make such outrageous claims."

Bert the Werewolf looked displeased at those words.

"Are you kidding me? Why would I lie? If you don't believe me, ask Ais!"

At that moment, everyone turned their eyes toward Ais.

Their gazes were filled with questions.

Ais nodded as well.

Although she was answering everyone's doubts, her attention remained on Ling Xuan!

"Even with Miss Sword Princess confirming it, I still find it hard to believe."

"It's true. That boy is even here in this tavern!"

Upon hearing that, everyone present became agitated!

"What? You mean that genius who challenged above his level is in this tavern?"

"Hey, hey, what kind of genius is he? Let us have a look."

Without question, everyone was intensely interested in the genius capable of challenging someone above his level!

Although the members of the Loki Familia had spotted Ling Xuan's location, none of them intended to reveal it.

After all, they did not know whether Ling Xuan wanted such a matter exposed.

Even so, Ais, Bert the Werewolf, and several others kept their eyes on Ling Xuan!

Syr also raised her eyebrows at the sight.

Curiously, she turned her gaze toward Ling Xuan.

"I noticed that both that man and the Sword Princess have been paying attention to you... Could it be that the adventurer they were talking about is you?"

Syr asked curiously.

After all, it did fit...

Ling Xuan had become an adventurer only a few days ago. Though she had no proof, she somehow felt that he was the genius the Loki Familia was talking about.

Since Syr was one of his few friends, Ling Xuan had nothing to hide from her and nodded.

"Wha—"

Upon hearing his confirmation, Syr nearly cried out in surprise.

But in the next second, Ling Xuan covered her mouth with a finger.

"Shh, calm down..."

That sudden intimate gesture made Syr blush a little.

On the other side, Ais's head filled with a huge question mark at the sight.

Could these two really be lovers?

For some reason, the thought of that possibility brought forth an emotion the girl herself could not describe!

Meanwhile, Syr flashed a victory sign at the sight!

As another girl, she could keenly sense that Ais had been watching Ling Xuan the entire time.

So this counted as a display of sovereignty.

She had already won big!

Miss Elf, Please Take Care of Me!
