A Daily Routine Packed to the Brim (Continued)
Setting aside the work he had just finished, he used his free left hand to wrap around Haruhime's slender waist, and Haruhime took the opportunity to lean against William's shoulder.
"You just want me to go out to the memorial service with you! Is the first day of the memorial service okay?"
William has now realized that he can no longer correct Haruhime's insistence on placing herself in a subordinate position.
This little girl seems to have made up her mind about this to the extreme, the kind who won't turn back even if she hits a brick wall!
But that's probably why this little girl is becoming more and more important to him!
I always want to show her more affection!
"Yes, Haruhime will do whatever you say!"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Haruhime immediately wore a happy smile, her soft tail wagging up and down to express her joy.
The two hugged for a while, then didn't do anything else.
Because Haruhime will be exploring the Dungeon with Lefiya and the others soon. By the way, thanks to Haruhime's tireless efforts, she is now very close to reaching the limit of leveling up.
William also had his own work to do, which was to continue to ask Loki for Divine Blood.
In fact, all the potions he just made were upgrade potions, which Loki was preparing for the crew members.
According to Loki, each ordinary member would have two tubes, while each cadre would have four!
This way, she could escape the agony of frantically pricking her fingers every time, and the bleeding would be over in one go.
This idea was exactly what William wanted to do.
He was actually thinking about how to legitimately trick Loki into giving him Divine Blood, then make it into a potion and take it with him!
Loki just happened to deliver himself to their doorstep; such a good thing is rare indeed.
Moreover, Loki didn't know exactly how many drops of Divine Blood were needed to make a vial of potion.
So now he's in a state where he can make one more potion after making three.
Once he had made the potions for all his Familia, he would have enough potions to level up in the other world.
Of course, after returning to the "Twilight Manor", he immediately reported to Loki and Finn that he had successfully defeated "Antares" in the Great Tree Sea.
After he finished explaining, he naturally received the same looks from the two men, as if they were looking at a monster.
The Valis rewards from the guild members instantly made William the richest member of the "Loki Familia".
All of this was fine; the two-year tax and expedition exemptions for the "Loki Familia" also made the two of them stand out.
In this matter, the Loki Familia made no contribution, since the campaign against Antares had nothing to do with them.
However, the guild still granted them a tax exemption, and it's important to know that the annual tax bill for a Familia is definitely not small.
Needless to say, the taxes of high-ranking Familia like the "Loki Familia" are even higher; the amount of Valis they pay each year is definitely over two hundred million.
Of course, none of this surprised them the most.
What surprised them most was, of course, the conditions that Uranus himself had promised.
At first, William was somewhat dismissive. Although he knew that guild favors could be very valuable, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But it wasn't until Loki explained it to him that he finally understood how important these ancient monsters were in the eyes of these gods.
"You're all so envious? How about I give you this opportunity?"
William sat on the sofa nonchalantly, while picking up the black tea on the table and taking a small sip.
Finn's expression was alright, but Loki's expression was quite strange at this moment, and she was trying hard to suppress her laughter.
"Are you really going to give me this opportunity?"
"Ah! Sure!"
William still looked slightly bewildered, because he had no idea what Loki was laughing at.
"I'm saying, do you really not understand the value of your campaign against 'Antares'?"
Loki finally couldn't suppress his laughter and, clutching his stomach, said haltingly.
William's confusion vanished, for Loki's attitude now indicated that what he had just said seemed to have been a very foolish thing.
Loki laughed for a long time, and even the corners of her eyes were faintly glistening with tears.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes before stopping her smile and saying something meaningful.
"To put it simply, if what you're fighting this time isn't 'Antares' but that Black Dragon lurking in the depths..."
"It's not impossible that you could be given the seat that Uranus is currently sitting in."
Loki's genuine expression immediately made William realize just how valuable this promise was.
He was secretly amazed at the time.
After all, he thought that apart from a few deities, most other gods simply treated the mortal realm as their playground.
Who can be so devoted to their own amusement park?
But he never expected that the god who ruled the guild behind the scenes would value the people of the lower realm so much.
But he doesn't have time to reminisce about the past now, because he's just run into someone he hasn't seen in a long time.
Hello, William!
Alicia, who had blocked William's path in the corridor, greeted William cheerfully and then walked towards William.
"Long time no see, Alicia!"
William, of course, wasn't intimidated, since he didn't have any psychological burden to begin with.
It's Alicia who needs to think about this, and since Alicia has stopped avoiding him, it means she should have figured things out by now.
Whether the relationship progresses further or they return to being just friends depends on her attitude.
William, having instantly regained his composure, went straight to meet them.
"Hello! I heard you actually defeated that ancient monster, congratulations!"
The two people, now close together, are only about half a meter apart, which is the ideal distance for them at this moment.
"It's alright! It was all just a coincidence!"
