It was already getting dark, and the sun was beginning to set behind the great walls of Orario.
The magic lamps in the streets began to light up, while movement in the streets increased significantly.
The joyful sound of adventurers singing and having fun in taverns and squares echoed through the streets.
Magic lamps illuminated the paths of adventurers returning from their dungeon expeditions.
The light from the lamps seemed to shine like stars in the sky.
The shops on each side of the street had their own charm, attracting the attention of passersby.
This was South Street, the busiest street in Orario.
It showcased the joy and liveliness of adventurers returning from their expeditions, couples, and even gods who went out with their families to have fun.
The Hostess of Fertility was clearly the liveliest place, as well as the one that attracted the most attention.
The beautiful waitresses served food and drinks to the tables with smiles on their faces.
At the same time, a young man dressed in a waiter's uniform was also serving food and drinks at several tables.
His appearance stole the hearts of several guests.
Mia smiled with pride when she saw that her marketing strategy had been a great success. There were many more women today.
However, the only problem was that Yuri was getting closer and closer to the girls.
It was common to see Yuri teasing one of them.
Even the cold Ryuu Lyon accepted Yuri's presence. Mia was sure it wouldn't take long before these girls fell for him.
"The customer who made the reservation for tonight is here!" Anya's voice brought Mia out of her thoughts.
Anya happily went to greet the customers who had made the reservation.
At the same time, the tavern door opened from the outside, and a group of six or seven adventurers entered.
The first to walk in was a woman with narrow eyes, red hair, a short ponytail, and a chest so flat a plane could land on it—none other than the goddess of the "Loki Familia"—the Goddess of Mischief, Loki.
Those who followed her were the core members of the Loki Familia.
Finn, Riveria, Gareth, Tiona, Tione, Ais, Lefiya, and... Bete...?
Pffffffffff~!!
The adventurers who recognized the Loki Familia in the tavern collectively spat their wine, and the sound of coughing echoed clearly.
Where's that snotty werewolf? And who is this cute wolf girl?
"Idiot! Who dared to laugh?"
Everyone felt guilty and quickly lowered their heads, pretending to drink.
They laughed inwardly and couldn't help but sneak glances at Bete—only to discover a white-haired boy next to him—or rather her—who looked quite immature and clearly like a rookie adventurer.
And most importantly, this boy clearly didn't know how to hide anything. From time to time, he'd sneak admiring glances at the now-female Bete.
That look of secret admiration almost made the other adventurers clutch their stomachs from trying not to laugh.
Even the girls from the Hostess of Fertility had trouble holding it in.
Even Ryuu turned his head to the side to hide his expression.
The corner of Yuri's eye twitched as he noticed how bad Bell was at hiding his feelings.
(Did this kid fall that easily?)
Yuri turned his eyes to Bete at that moment. For some reason, Bete was much more pleasing to the eye now.
Ignoring the strange feeling, Yuri walked over to the Loki Familia's table and greeted them with a smile.
"Looks like we've met again."
"Eh? So this is where you're working, Yuri?!" Tione was very surprised to see Yuri, especially dressed like that.
"I didn't expect you to be working here," Riveria said.
"Yes, what a coincidence," Ais agreed with a rare nod.
"Hahaha, I ended up with a pretty big debt here, so I'm working to pay it off."
Yuri chatted with them with a smile, obviously hiding the fact that he was living happily here while teasing Ryuu and the catgirls.
Finn looked carefully at Yuri, who was happily chatting with the girls.
After Yuri left the dungeon the other day, they returned to the Loki Familia's base, Twilight Manor.
Loki, who had gotten drunk and crazy again, was knocked out by Riveria. Bete, realizing her situation, drank heavily and collapsed on Bell's shoulder, drunk.
Her fierce gaze made a certain rabbit blush.
They all exchanged strange glances at the unfolding situation.
They finally "realized" why Bete had brought a weak newbie like Bell to Twilight Manor.
The Loki Familia dinner ended with both excitement and subtle tension.
When all the members noisily left, Ais silently stopped, stepped away from the crowd, and walked back to the Hostess of Fertility.
Yuri, who was helping clean up the tavern, suddenly got kicked in the butt by Chloe.
"What's wrong?"
Yuri looked at the cat-eared girl in confusion, as she pointed at a blonde-haired girl peeking in from outside the door.
"That swordswoman has been spying on you for about 20 minutes now."
Chloe's cat tail swayed slightly behind her, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.
"Yuri, you didn't do something to her, did you? Like, betray the famous Sword Princess and then abandon her? Hey… you're not a creep, right?"
"You should worry more about yourself!"
Yuri grabbed Chloe's cat tail and pulled her into his arms.
"Do you know what happens to bad girls?" Yuri asked as he bit Chloe's ear.
The girl moaned as she felt her sensitive spots being stimulated all at once.
Yuri really liked doing that, and apparently, Chloe had a secret M-side too.
She seemed to enjoy being dominated like that.

Give me some power stones there you go~😉
Please ignore the crazy stuff I did in this chapter for a bit, I think my brain matter leaked out while I was writing this.
