Inside a luxurious hotel in the entertainment district.
"Master Ron, this is the total income of the Soma Familia this month."
Lili handed the income slip in her hand to Ron and asked with her head down, as she came to report on time every week.
"Excuse me, do you have any instructions next?"
"It's okay to give orders. I don't have much experience in business. Just do what you want."
Looking at the total income which was 30% more than he expected, Ron decided to completely hand over the management of the Soma Familia to Lili, and he would be responsible for collecting the money while doing nothing.
"By the way, what's the situation with Soma? How is your communication with him going?"
"As for the Soma God, it remains the same for now."
"Besides brewing wine, I have no interest in managing the Familia."
Lili replied.
"That's not what I meant."
Ron grabbed the divine wine beside him and poured it into the glass, then handed it to Lili.
"I should have told you before the reason why Soma gave up the management of the Familia."
"Yes."
Lili took the wine glass and reiterated the truth that Ron told her a week ago.
"Because everyone in the Familia was addicted to the wine of God in the past, and even fought with others in order to drink it."
"The reward that should have been a catalyst, instead exposed everyone's ugly side."
"This made Soma feel disillusioned with us, so he eventually gave up managing the Familia."
"Hmm... I remember it pretty clearly, but don't you have anything you want to do after knowing this?"
Ron looked at Lili curiously.
"For example, drinking the wine of God in front of the other party, and then letting the other party know what stupid thing he did."
"There's no need for that..."
After drinking the wine of God in the cup, Lili stood there for a few seconds before replying.
"The restoration of Soma God's trust in us is indeed beneficial to the development of the Soma Familia."
"But if that happens, it might also affect my control over the Soma Familia."
"Since that person has taken the initiative to be disappointed in us, let him remain disappointed."
"Rather than proving this kind of thing, Lili is more concerned about how to make more money to give to Lord Ron."
"What a touching speech."
A smile appeared on Ron's lips.
Of course, this was not a sarcastic smile, but a smile that showed his satisfaction with the changes caused by himself.
『Rebellious Heart』
Improve the body's resistance to alcohol.
Improves mental resistance to negative states.
Looking at the passive skill that appeared on Lili at some point, Ron lazily got up from his chair and walked towards the back.
"This time, let's transform into a cat-girl for a change."
"...Um."
Lili seemed a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a few seconds, she whispered a reply and followed Ron into the depths of the room.
...
The next day.
After leaving the luxury hotel and separating from Lili, Ron did not return to the Hestia Familia immediately.
Walking straight along the main road, he soon arrived at a blacksmith shop on Northeast Street from the South District.
Looking at the little man who had been standing there for some unknown period of time, a playful smile appeared on his face.
"The Captain of Loki's Familia came here in person to pick up the goods. It seems that you attach great importance to this batch of magic swords."
"I can't help it. There are still many things to prepare for the expedition."
Finn replied with a smile on his face as well.
"And everyone else has their own things to do, and in the end, only I, the Captain who issued the order, can come over."
"That's really hard work."
He took out the key and opened the small blacksmith shop he had purchased. Ron went in and took out two huge backpacks and handed them to him.
"Last month's and this month's, a total of ten Magic Swords, if that's okay, just pay for it."
"Hmm? It seems you didn't come from the Hestia Familia side."
Finn looked at Ron with some surprise and spoke.
"I have already sent the money to the Hestia Familia in advance."
"That's not bad. It saves me the effort of carrying it."
After locking the door of the blacksmith shop again, Ron looked calmly at Finn, who showed no intention of saying goodbye.
"If you have any questions, you can ask directly."
"I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I can answer any of your questions that aren't too troublesome."
"Since you said so, I won't be polite either."
Finn raised his head and looked Ron in the eyes.
"Are you a Spirit?"
"It could be."
"Are you an enemy?"
"It depends on the situation."
"A man-made dungeon..."
"I won't tell you that."
Ron interrupted bluntly.
"If you are in a hurry, you can go fight Ottar from Freya's Familia. There's no need to go to a place like that just to get killed."
"!"
Finn paused and looked at Ron in front of him in disbelief.
