Wanting to Celebrate for the Lord

"Young people are really interesting!"

Finn and Gareth, sitting at another table, were also paying close attention to William's situation.

"That's what youth is all about!"

Gareth held up a piece of meaty foreleg with bone in and waved it around as she spoke.

"Yes! But this is a good thing."

A hint of a smile flickered in Finn's azure eyes. As the leader of his Familia, he was well aware that several of his Familia's outstanding female members were interested in William.

However, he was quite happy about this.

Of course, he and Gareth weren't the only ones who were happy about this Loki Riveria opposed it.

What's the fastest way to make a newcomer quickly develop a strong sense of belonging to their Familia?

That, of course, means forging deep and inseparable bonds within the Familia.

However, among all the bonds, only family relationships are the most stable and reliable.

Therefore, they naturally hoped that William could find a girl he liked within the Familia and start a family.

Things did indeed develop in the direction they had hoped for.

However, to their surprise, there seemed to be quite a few girls who had romantic entanglements with William.

But in their eyes, this is not a bad thing; rather, they are even somewhat pleased to see it.

After all, the offspring of highly skilled adventurers often surpass the abilities of their parents.

Let's take a look at who the girls who had romantic entanglements with William are!

Ais, Alicia, and Haruhime just arrived.

Among them, only Alicia's aptitude is slightly inferior, but that is only when comparing Alicia with the monsters of the "Loki Familia".

Compared to adventurers outside, Alicia's aptitude is already considered top-tier.

They couldn't even imagine what kind of monster would be born from the union of such a woman and William.

"Everyone else is fine, but getting Alicia to accept things so obediently isn't so easy."

Gareth wore an expression that suggested she was about to have a good show.

Although the Spirit King of this world also has three queens, which is why Princess Riveria only has slight objections, the rest of the Elf race are basically monogamous.

Therefore, it is difficult to get Alicia, who was born in a rural Elf Forest, to accept this concept all at once.

"That's their decision; we old folks shouldn't interfere."

As Finn shook his head, he cut a piece of fish, about the size of his mouth, from the enormous fish that was almost as tall as him and put it in his mouth.

(This fish was cooked by Tione herself, specifically to supplement Finn's nutrition. Incidentally, Tione prepares all of Finn's meals herself, though the portions are always somewhat disappointing.)

"That's true!"

Hahahaha!

Gareth laughed loudly a few times, breaking the silence in the cafeteria, and then clapped his hands.

"Hurry up and eat! What are you all standing there for? After you finish eating, those who need to train should go train, those who need to rest should rest, and those who need to work should go work."

The cafeteria returned to its usual bustling state, but the situation on William's side didn't show any significant improvement.

Haruhime, standing beside him, seemed to feel a bit guilty for causing trouble for William. At this moment, she felt both guilty and happy that William hadn't hidden their relationship.

So that golden tail sometimes hangs high and sometimes droops.

William felt a little uneasy, because he had been enveloped by the oppressive aura emanating from Alicia ever since.

He quickly shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice into his bowl, speeding up his eating.

"Sorry, I've finished eating, I'll head back to the Workshop to continue working."

After quickly finishing his meal, William said something in Alicia's direction, then got up and left.

He had no choice; he felt that if he stayed here any longer, the cold would give him arthritis.

Furthermore, he didn't feel he had anything to argue with Alicia right now, but it would be better to let time decide the future.

"I've finished eating too, Lord William, wait for me!"

When Haruhime saw William get up, she quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked after him.

"Wait for me, Lord William!"

Haruhime jogged after William, who had already reached the corner of the corridor, calling out softly.

"Isn't this what I've been waiting for you!"

Haruhime, slightly out of breath, caught up with William had stopped and was waiting.

"I'm sorry, Lord William!"

"It's because Haruhime was too complacent that your relationship with Lady Alicia has deteriorated."

Upon catching up with William, Haruhime immediately lowered her little head, drooping her tail and ears, and sincerely apologized.

She didn't actually intend to show off, but she just couldn't control her urge to be close to William all the time.

Even though she was trying to control herself, she would still unconsciously lean towards William's position.

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"The fault actually lies more with me."

William lifted Haruhime's smooth chin, raising her drooping head.

"And in the future, you don't need to apologize to me all the time."

"Yes, Haruhime understands!"

After being comforted by William Haruhime instantly regained her previous energy.
