I love time travel the most!

"what?"

Ais tilted her head, not understanding why she would say that.

Loki, clenching his fists and hopping mad, yelled, "You're definitely thinking about men! That expression was exactly the same as Freya's infatuated look! I knew it! I knew it! It must be that kid, it must be that bastard!!!"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone present knew who she was talking about.

Finn, Riveria, and Grace did not stop Loki from going mad, or rather, they did not intend to get involved, because they also wanted to know what their princess was really thinking.

however--

Ais couldn't refute it.

She had to admit that ever since she returned from the 59th floor, the image of that figure blocking her way had been constantly on her mind.

It is neither robust, nor tall, nor majestic.

But the heroic figure of the person blocking her way was deeply imprinted in her heart, crystal clear, leaving her with nowhere to vent the passion in her heart.

That silhouette even reminded her of her father.

Memories resurfaced in my mind.

All sorts of images and emotions welled up in Ais's heart, leaving her in a state of utter turmoil.

"Ais...Ais...Ais!!!"

Loki was utterly dismayed to see his beloved princess so infatuated with some wild boy who had appeared out of nowhere.

"That guy...!!!"

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Suddenly, Loki said, "I heard from Tiona that Ais gave that guy a lap pillow when they were on the 59th floor? Damn it, even I, a god, have never enjoyed that treatment! No way! Ais, I want a lap pillow too!"

After saying that, she pounced on Ais with a greasy smile on her face, clearly intending to take advantage of her.

That's just how this guy is.

He has a casual and easygoing personality, and like a middle-aged man, he likes to harass beautiful girls, especially his own best female adventurer, Ais's, buttocks, which he tries to touch all the time.

Knowing her true nature, Ais deftly left her seat.

With a thud, Loki fell to the ground.

But she didn't get up. Instead, she remained lying on the ground, feeling the coldness of the earth as it was in her heart. She couldn't help but shed tears, and said in a pitiful voice, "Ais... Waaah, my Ais, she's been kidnapped by someone else, waaah..."

In terms of sheer dramatic flair, she's on par with Aqua.

The three leaders of the clan, who were already used to their god's antics, could only sigh helplessly and rub their foreheads.

Loki scrambled to his feet and said viciously, "In that case, we'll just have to kill him! That's right! Think about it, if we kill him, Ais will be mine, won't she?!"

How did you come to this conclusion?

Even if you kill Ais Kobayashi, she won't be yours.

Riveria and Grace couldn't help but complain.

Meanwhile, Finn, the hero seated at the head of the table, rested his chin on his crossed hands and said with a smile, "Or, we could bring Kobayashi into the Loki Familia."

"Um???"

"If you're worried about Ais being kidnapped, why not just take Kobayashi into your familia?"

"........."

Finn's words plunged the room into a brief silence.

After a few breaths, Loki exclaimed, "Are you serious, Finn?!"

“Ah, I’m not kidding. At least, I think it’s a very good idea. Riveria, Grace, what do you two think?” Finn said calmly, turning to ask the other two leaders for their opinions.

"I agree."

"If possible, of course we should try to do it."

Both of their answers were concise and to the point.

Even the golden eyes of the Sword Maiden Ais flashed with a different kind of brilliance.

Loki, on the contrary, became anxious and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, are you serious? Don't you know how many people are watching him? And... look, his background is completely unknown!"

She held up a piece of parchment with a pattern engraved on it. It was probably the insignia of a certain clan, but no one present recognized it.

If Kobayashi were there, he would proudly and confidently tell them that this is the emblem of the Axis religion.

On the 59th floor, Kobayashi's clothes were burned by the Fallen Fairy's firestorm, and since he was naked, the pattern of his clan affiliation on his back was naturally exposed.

What Loki held in his hands was a copy made by Riveria and the others.

"So what?"

"So what if I say that... Hey, Finn, do you know how many people are watching him?"

Loki excitedly shouted, "Leaving aside Freya, that infatuated girl, he's now nominally a member of Uranus's kin, and even Hermes and Dionysus are interested in him. And that hateful little dwarf (Hestia) has been asking about him these past few days. Are you serious about bringing him into the kin?!"

"Oh, I'm serious."

Even after hearing this, Finn nodded with a changed expression. The other two leaders of the clan did the same.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Loki covered his head, looking incredulous.

She began to suspect that Kobayashi might have used some strange magic, or perhaps possessed the ability to bewitch people like the goddess Freya. Otherwise, how could the three leaders of the Familia have such thoughts?

How much risk is she taking?!

Leaving aside Uranus, Hermes, and Dionysus, what about competing with Freya for someone?

Crazy!

Before the Fallen Fairies from the dungeon even arrive, the battle between the two major clans will shatter the labyrinth city!

Finn couldn't possibly have missed this.

And when he said that, it was naturally because...

"Ah, that person—Kobayashi, has that value."

The brave give affirmation to the hero.

Finn presented his evidence, asking the elven royalty beside him, "Rivellia, when you were treating Kobayashi, even if it was unintentional, you should have witnessed his kindness, right? What do you say?"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked at the green figure in the room.

Riveria closed her eyes and sighed, "All attributes SSS."

"……Aha?!"

"At LV1 and LV2, his proficiency is SSS1999—this is undoubtedly an exceptionally high level. Now at LV3, he has the potential to advance, but his proficiency hasn't reached its peak yet, so he will probably advance and retain it for now."

Even the elven royalty couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

She had to admit that she was completely bewildered when she saw that number.

Thinking she had misjudged him, the elven royalty couldn't resist leaning over Xiaolin's back for a closer look, which made the elegant waiter think she had ulterior motives towards the unconscious man.

SSS?

Upon hearing this number, the hero Finn nodded as if relieved, saying, "Yes, that's how it should be. Otherwise, one couldn't become a [Hero] on the 59th floor."

Upon hearing this, Sword Maiden Ais couldn't help but clench her fists.

Sure enough, that person...

That ability to break through limits showed her the possibility of reaching greater heights.

Recalling their close cooperation in the dungeon, her heart began to flutter.

Loki, on the other side, was stunned when he heard this number and couldn't say a word.

Grace stroked his thick beard and said in a deep voice, "Numerical values ​​can only represent the possibility of breaking through the limit. The most important thing is his magic."

"That's right, it was that magic that made me even more determined."

"It's just too exaggerated."

Finn and Riveria nodded in agreement.

Fiora Ais said softly, "A clumsy imitation..."

On the 59th floor, Kobayashi took the initiative to explain the magic, clarifying why he had been able to use other people's magic before.

It is precisely because of this that Ais and Kobayashi are able to work in sync and cooperate closely.

"Wait, what is a poor imitation?"

Loki was unaware of this, so he asked out of curiosity.

Riveria kindly explained it to her.

After hearing this, Loki knelt down with his hands on his head, shouting, "Being able to copy all magic... That's cheating! That's cheating! Damn it, why is there such exaggerated magic?! I thought Lefia's magic was already exaggerated enough, but what's wrong with that person?!"

Her reaction was exactly the same as that of the other members of the clan.

At this moment, Finn added, "Kobayashi is a being capable of overturning conventional wisdom. His appearance will surely shake up the entire Labyrinth City. And if someone with such potential is recruited by the Freya Familia or other Familias, one can only imagine what will happen."

The layout of the labyrinth city will inevitably change from this point on.

You either get recruited by either the Loki Familia or the Freya Familia and become the dominant force; or you get recruited by other Families and eventually become one of the three powers.

That's right, Kobayashi—he has such enormous potential, just like the saintess Amida on the battlefield.

"So, Loki, do you understand? It's not a matter of whether you want to or not, it's that you have to do it."

"Hmm... I understand, I understand."

Loki wasn't stupid, and he quickly figured out the stakes involved.

Finn was telling her that no matter what, even if she became a member of another familia, she must never become a member of the Freya familia.

Otherwise, the Loki Familia would surely be driven out of the Labyrinth City, just like its two predecessors—the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia.

"Alright, it's decided! We must bring Kobayashi into the clan!"

Loki finally made up his mind.
