"Are you [Smith] Bellf Crozzo?"
"Yeah, that's me. And you are?"
"I'm Philvis. Lord Dionysus has invited you to the Familia home."
"...?"
Me, all of a sudden?
"Please come with me."
...Had I done something?
[You have.]
I only just heard about him yesterday, and the only one I know is you.
[Let's go first. Whatever jumps out, you've got the ability to take it down, right?]
You seem awfully arrogant all of a sudden.
[A proper amount of pride isn't arrogance. If you're too humble, people around you will start taking you lightly.]
...I don't think anyone's ever taken me lightly.
Philvis led me to a quiet cafe.
"Ehehehehe!"
"Ahahaha!"
In one corner of the cafe, unusually enough, Dionysus and Loki were laughing uproariously.
"Sorry I'm late, Lord Dionysus."
"You ruined the mood because of you, so take responsibility."
"Yes, with my life..."
"I'm joking! I'm joking!"
When Philvis leveled a dagger at her own throat, Dionysus hurriedly stopped her.
"Phew... Go take a break for a moment."
"Yes."
After Philvis lowered the dagger and left the cafe, Dionysus let out a sigh and sat down.
"She's really a good girl... but every now and then she gets like that..."
"Our kids don't really go along with my jokes either, so it's quite troublesome."
[...]
"..."
"D-don't stare at me like that!"
Did I look at him weirdly?
[I don't know. Just ignore him.]
"Ah, so you're the [Smith]. I'm Dionysus. Nice to meet you."
"Ah, yes. Nice to meet you."
The Dionysus I met for the first time seemed less like a traitor and more like a benevolent god.
"The reason I called you here is because I want to ask for your cooperation."
"Cooperation?"
"I found the place where Enyo is."
"...Who is Enyo?"
"Ah, so that's where we start. Enyo is one of the gods remaining among the Evilus, and in the language of the gods, it means 'city destroyer.'"
There was a god like that in Evilus...?
"I was planning to find out exactly where she is this time and ask a high-ranking adventurer for help, but—"
"We're busy with the expedition, so we can't go."
"So, would you be able to help?"
"I'm going on the expedition too."
"Well, skipping out once in a while should be fine, no?"
"If you get Finn's permission, I'll help you."
[That's a roundabout way of saying you won't do it.]
Still, you never know. He might give permission.
