Chapter 124 What Do Others' Lives Have to Do With Me? [2-in-1, Please Subscribe]
That very night, Loki led a large contingent of his Familia's fighters and charged menacingly towards the Ishtar Familia.
Of course, the matter was ultimately resolved perfectly. Although Ishtar, who had lost the strongest fighter in his Familia, initially disregarded Loki's threat, he ultimately succeeded.
But when Loki was really ready to get serious with her and start the War Game...
The goddess finally couldn't maintain her facade of composure and gritted her teeth to accept the bitter consequences.
The event ended with Loki giving the "Ishtar Familia" 100 million Valis and then completely transferring ownership of Haruhime to the "Loki Familia".
In the end, the matter didn't require the guild to intervene, which is a good thing.
Loki had been all smiles and drinking heavily all this time.
As for the goddess Ishtar, she was already furious beyond measure. It is said that she smashed all the precious collections in her room to pieces that very night.
Meanwhile, Ishtar has also cursed Phryne, that toad, to the eighteenth level of hell.
As the goddess who rules over Orario's Pleasure District, Ishtar's assets are already immeasurable, and countless adventurers and male gods come to her place to spend money every night.
Money was practically worthless to her, yet Loki still had a paltry 100 million Valis to appease her.
At least for now, the scope of her hatred has reached a level where Loki and Freya are on par.
The magic stone lamp hanging from the ceiling illuminated the windowless, enclosed room, where a blond man was intently swaying a test tube from side to side.
"Add Dragon Leaf Grass, then add Magic Rock!"
William muttered something to himself as he added the ingredients he was talking about into the beaker.
This was the fifth day he had locked himself in the Workshop, unable to go to the Dungeon to train.
He also began to seriously conduct his own research, and at the same time, he obtained a promise from Loki that he could freely use experimental materials (Loki's blood).
Of course, after some research in the past period and intensive study in this period, he felt that the moment he created the finished product was very close.
"That way, when I travel to other worlds, I won't have to worry about the Divine Blessing becoming a useless ability."
And so William repeated his idea of possible material proportions over and over again.
The sun outside gradually sank below the horizon as time passed, while William had long been completely absorbed in his experiments and had forgotten the passage of time.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The knocking at the door woke William, who was completely absorbed in his work. He stretched slightly and stood up from his chair.
"Come in, Haruhime!"
"The door isn't locked!"
William already knew who was outside the door, since this was the same person who had been taking care of his daily life for the past few days!
"Yes, Lord William!"
The woman outside the door responded weakly, then turned the handle, opened the door, and walked in.
The girl's long, golden hair cascaded down her back, and her emerald eyes surveyed the room she had become intimately familiar with over the past few days.
The slightly loose red kimono revealed the girl's fair shoulders, and her two delicate white hands held a wooden tray.
The wooden platter was laden with a variety of dishes that emitted an enticing aroma.
The girl gently moved her wooden clogs and placed the food she was carrying on the only table in the Workshop, then pulled out the chair in front of the table.
"Lord William, it's time for your dinner!"
"I see!"
William moved to the dining table, and Haruhime, who was standing to the side, was not idle either. She went to the corner, picked up the cleaning tools located there, and began to clean the room.
"Haruhime, let's rest for a while!"
"You just came back from the Dungeon, you must be exhausted!"
William frowned as he watched Haruhime busy herself. He had said the same thing many times over the past few days, but the little girl had never listened to his advice on this matter.
"Haruhime isn't tired. How could she be tired while serving Lord William!"
Although Haruhime did not stop what she was doing, she still turned her delicate face to speak to William.
"You!"
William sighed helplessly and said nothing more, focusing on his dinner.
In fact, Haruhime was not only responsible for cleaning his room, but also for delivering his dinner at night.
Her current schedule is arguably even more demanding than William's most hardworking period.
Since reclaiming ownership of Haruhime, the higher-ups of the Familia have naturally enjoyed Haruhime's magical buff.
Upon sensing this powerful force, Riveria, the strongest Magecraft in her Familia, immediately had her eyes light up.
That very evening, a strict study plan was devised for Haruhime, along with her main future development path.
They also found that Lefiya and the others had formed a small team with Haruhime to explore the Dungeon, and sent Ange as a security guard to protect the team's safety.
In Finn's words, how could our Familia possibly do something as foolish as the "Ishtar Familia," killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?
In order to keep secrets and control Haruhime's development was restricted.
These words naturally moved Haruhime deeply, and strengthened her resolve to contribute her own strength to the Familia.
So she took on the task of taking care of William (it was her own selfish motive), as well as cooking for the Familia.
"How was Haruhime's learning with Teacher Riveria today?"
William inquired about Haruhime's situation while eating, since Teacher Riveria's teaching was known to be extremely strict.
He had personally witnessed how badly Lefia, who had attended classes with him, was scolded.
