"Don't panic if you encounter a psychopath. First, clench your fist, then..."

As Kanna spoke cutely, she clenched her little fist, and then with a thud, Loki was punched so hard that he doubled over.

That's good.

Kanna's serious expression drew a look of admiration from Ais.

"I learned!"

Ais nodded with a cute expression.

After two days of playing together, the two little cuties are getting along very well.

"Devil..."

Loki's pained expression drew laughter and mockery from the surrounding gods.

Watching Loki make a fool of himself and get beaten up, Riveria couldn't bear to look at him, giving him an expression that said, "I don't know her."

Ming Ge watched the spectacle for a while, then ignored what was happening over there.

Ais is indeed adorable, and as a deity, she can certainly see something in him, so it's only natural that she would be interested in him.

As for Kanna... although she is covered by her robes, fairies have a special aura that can be detected by keen gods even when isolated from external factors.

This is the primal aura of the race; the presence of fairies is so strong that someone like Loki, who relies on his brain, would probably recognize them instantly.

This guy might even be doing this as a way to test whether Kanna is a doll or a real life form.

Ming Ge didn't reject the idea; given Loki's personality, he believed he could become a great partner in the future.

Judging from his plan, it would be good if more gods were on his side.

Are you interested in changing jobs?

Ming Ge turned her gaze over.

Before him stood a suspicious figure, dressed entirely in black with patterned black gloves, whose gender and race were unknown.

Although she seemed suspicious, she came with Uranus, and even the high-ranking members of Zeus's and Hera Familia knew of her.

Furthermore, Ming Ge's invitation specifically targeted her, which is why she, who had been operating in the shadows, was able to attend the banquet.

Of course, even without Ming Ge's invitation, she would most likely still come; she's very interested in witnessing Orario's future trajectory firsthand.

"Changing jobs?"

Fels asked doubtfully, "With your abilities, you shouldn't need the help of someone from the old era like me, right?"

"I'm just simply interested in you."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "Furthermore, I plan to establish a research department in the future, and I'd like you to be its head."

"Of course, I can provide you with some of my research findings, Sage Fels."

With over 800 legally born lolis, and being one of the few truly talented individuals in this world, it would be strange if Ming Ge weren't interested.

Fels fell silent for a moment, then said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I never expected you would invite someone like me... Knowing my name, you should know that I have lost the body that can bear the marks of Falna, right?"

"Immortality Secret Art?"

Ming Ge nodded slightly and said, "I also possess the same type of magic. If you agree, I can help you restore your physical body... Of course, this will come at a different price."

Chapter 116 Aina Wisteria

"My immortality magic is related to puppet magic; their bodies were all created by me."

Ming Ge explained, "If you're willing to do this, you'll become something similar to my familia."

"I'll think about it."

Fels paused for a moment, then glanced at Uranus and spoke.

Ming Ge did not deliberately avoid mentioning Uranus during their conversation.

If you're going to poach someone, you should do it openly and honestly; Uranus will most likely release them.

In reality, Fels wandered the lower realm for many years, tireless and sleepless, living a aimless, zombie-like life.

He was taken in by Uranus, and although he was meant to be Uranus's eyes and ears in secret, it was still a great favor.

Given Fels's personality, he's unlikely to agree readily, but the possibility of him doing so is quite high.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't agree; as long as you live in Orario, this day will come sooner or later anyway.

After the banquet ended, Loki, Riveria, and Aina stayed behind.

"Let's go up to the second floor."

After seeing the guests off, Ram and Rem tidied up the hall and then went to their room on the second floor.

"Wow, impressive! I'd love to know if there's anything you can't do."

Loki looked at Ming Ge with a sigh.

"Can't have children."

Ming Ge pursed her lips, then looked at Aina and said, "First of all, let me clarify that the treatment I'm giving you isn't traditional healing magic; although physical contact isn't necessary, treating you from a distance is more complicated. Could you test whether you can make contact with me?"

"Hmm... okay."

Aina seemed a little flustered, but then nodded firmly.

"Don't force yourself; it'll just be a little inconvenient at most."

Ming Ge gave a reminder, then extended her hand.

"Good."

Aina relaxed and reached out to gently touch Ming Ge's skin.

If elves are the embodiment of nature, then they are a special race that coexists with nature, and they have a severe obsession with spiritual purity.

Even the slightest physical contact will trigger their instinctive reaction, which may even lead them to act rashly.

Therefore, even companions of the same clan need to keep a certain distance from spirits.
