Faced with Tione's apology, Bell and Lili, who had been panicking nearby, finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.
They had only just been warned by Miss Aina from the Guild to behave themselves. If they got into another fight with the Loki Familia, things would get troublesome.
Of course, Bell and Lili were the only ones relieved by Tione's apology. Hestia still hadn't completely let her guard down, and watched the smiling Tiona warily.
"So what exactly did you mean when you said you wanted to thank me? I don't remember doing anything to help you."
After hearing Tione's explanation, Wood still looked completely baffled. He genuinely couldn't remember doing anything for the Amazonian sisters standing before him.

"I'm Finn Deimne, captain of the Loki Familia. We truly are grateful for your help to our familia members Tione and the others, Mr. Wood. The Loki Familia will remember this kindness."
It seemed Loki and the Amazonian sisters had made such a commotion that the other members of the Loki Familia, who had been celebrating at the tavern, had also been drawn over by the noise.

Hearing Riveria's words, Wood looked again at the backs of Tione
