A Reincarnator's Wish In Danmachi

After coming all the way from Frozen Lychee to the Twilight Manor, Ethan was granted access by the guard without hesitation as, in no time, he was already in front of Riveria's room.

But, before he was able to knock, a voice stopped him.

"Riveria's talking with Loki right now.."

Hearing a well-known voice, brought Ethan's brows to raise as, he didn't expect her, from all people, next to Riveria's room.

By turning his head to look at her, he replied

"I see. Thanks for the information, Tione.."

Saying so, Ethan was about to go away, before Tione raised her hand to make him stop for a moment.

At this, he replied with a confused expression while she directly added

"By the way. I know it's still early for such things, but know that if you'll make Tiona suffer, I won't stop punching you before you'll stop breathing.."

Moving away as she said these words, Ethan's confused expression became even more pronounced. Although, normally, he would be intimidated by her words, he could clearly feel that there was no intent behind them, and this, rather than frightening him, led him to be puzzled.

'Tiona must've said something to Tione..'

Realizing this, brought his expression to return to normal as, even though he would have liked to go to Tiona and ask for a clarification about why Tione had casually threatened him, he knew that he had been postponing his visit to the [True Dungeon] for too long, also because, after Loki would be done with his house, he wanted to start by getting the [Blacksmith] development ability...

With these thoughts in mind, Ethan knew that he would be really busy from now on, but instead of feeling bored by it, this led him to be even more determined than before as one of the first things he wanted, was precisely to consolidate his position in Orario, more than it already was.

'I don't know how much influence I'm going to have in this town, but if I have more influence, I can protect Lefiya even more easily..'

The fact he was now in a relationship with Lefiya, automatically led him to want to solve this 'problem'. This is because, Ethan, knew very well that he couldn't solve everything that would be placed in front of him with strength alone...

'That is only one of the things that can be said about me..If I want people to truly feel they can't mess with someone I'm in a relationship with, I'll have to start working hard, one way or another..'

Although he was not a sceptical person, Ethan was still frightened by Orario, that, although populated by many good people, also had its large number of people who had everything but good intentions.

By focusing on these thoughts, Ethan quickly arrived outside of Loki's room as, he knocked without hesitation, to which Loki sighed in exasperation

"Who is it, now?"

The fact she felt really annoyed while saying these words, brought him to sigh in his mind as, he knew just how much she would have been busy in these days..

"Ethan.."

Hearing that it was him, brought Loki to open the door while he could see, in the corner of the room, Riveria.

"You can enter, I have to talk with you as well"

At Loki's words, Ethan nodded in understanding before entering the room while Riveria sighed.

"How did you know I was in Loki-sama's room?"

Her question, made her think about it as, now again with the curiosity of asking Tiona for a clarification, he replied

"I bumped onto Tione in the hallway, and she told me you were in her room.."

Without hesitation, Loki closed the door as she stepped in the conversation.

"She came to report that everything went without a problem in the Hostess of Fertility just before Riveria.."

Understanding, Ethan was about to add something, but Riveria was faster as she closed her eyes

"I was asking Loki for an explanation regarding the fact you'll stop being an adventurer for a while.."

Her words, brought him to furrow his brows as, he turned to look at Loki while the latter shrugged her shoulders with a heavy sigh.

"She knows I can't reveal the information, and I'm tired of having to explain things, working non-stop is hard even for a Goddess.."

Feeling her back sore from the fact she was moving without stopping for all day, Loki threw herself on the bed near Riveria while she, surprised by the fact that she had thrown herself without hesitation on it, led her to get up while Loki raised her head slightly as she added

"..Regarding you, Ethan, your house is being built. It will probably take 3-4 days for it to be finished, but, it will be worth the waiting..."

Blinking, he couldn't help but smirk as, the fact Loki still found the time for him, even when busy by many other things, led him to feel thankful towards her

"..I see. Thanks, Loki.."

Deciding to do something about her 'pain', Ethan decided to search in the shop for something able to ease it as he was about to go to the {Earth} section, because the medicine on earth, is on another league than the one in Danmachi. But before he was able to do that, the {Skills} shop panel automatically opened before a skill appeared in front of him..

[Shiatsu]

Rank: I

Allows the User to learn the ways of the Shiatsu massage.

Reading the simple, yet important information, Ethan was doubtful if he had to buy it, or not as, seeing the cost made him think twice before deciding to do it...

'Spending 500,000 SP for a technique that will make me able to do a massage...'

Even though he was about to ask Light if it was worth it, he remembered she wouldn't reply, and this, brought him to be even more doubtful than before about what to do while Riveria, that was looking at him now, understood that something was wrong..

"Ethan..is everything alright?"

She normally, wouldn't have asked him for such a thing, but the serious expression he had on his face, immediately brought her seriousness back in place while Loki, that was still focused on the 'pain' in her back, opened an eye as she could see Ethan's expression as well.

"I wanted to find the right words..to tell you that me and Lefiya are in a relationship now, and, I suddenly felt without words to do so.."

Even though, during his way to the Manor, he indeed decided to tell Riveria 'everything', he didn't plan to use the latter as an excuse, but, it was really the first thing that came to his mind as, he wanted to punch himself for how stupid he was for showing so easily that he was thinking about something..

His explanation brought Riveria's expression, from the serious one she was making, to a slightly angry one..

"I see..and is Ais aware of this?"

Being asked this question, made him sigh as he replied

"Not yet. I will inform her this night. There's a place I need to go to after our conversation..."

His words, brought her to nod in understanding as, she knew he would tell her while Loki, was the one to sigh now.

"Ethan..you're stealing girls in my familia like nothing. Your words made my back hurt even more.."

The fact Loki was 'losing' all the girls she liked to 'tease' before, was starting to annoy her, but she knew she could do nothing to 'stop him' as, he was a member of his own familia, and he had all the rights to do whatever he wanted outside his duties.

'I guess I'll have to start gaining SP already...'

With this thought in mind, Ethan bought the skill as, he was about to say he would try giving her a massage, but he quickly understood that he received nothing from the skill..

Even though this brought him to immediately freeze on the spot, he didn't want to have to explain more than what he explained already as he was thinking about what to say while Riveria, hearing Loki's words, added

"Loki-sama, I remind you that you should stop doing this kind of things instead of getting angry at Ethan for that reason.."

These words, brought Ethan's focus back on the conversation they were having as he was surprised that Riveria took his defence, but he didn't know that, in reality she was just tired of seeing her goddess messing up with girls of their familia, as she was one of the people they would go to complain about this...

"Well, he should at least share a little...but he won't let me do so, knowing his personality.."

Muttering this, she looked away while he gulped as he understood what she meant by her words, and indeed, he wouldn't have liked to have her in his own bed as, they knew really too little about each other..

"...Loki-sama, people would start talking bad about you if you continue in this way.."

While Riveria continued to press the issue further, Ethan decided to interrupt the conversation as, he wanted to quickly organize his training and then enter the [True Dungeon], as well as understand what happened to the skill he just bought as, by opening his [Status Board] for a second, he could see he indeed had the skill..

"..I'm sorry to interrupt, but I would like to organize my training with Riveria now as, after that, I really have to go.."

His words, brought Riveria, that stopped talking a second ago, to nod again as she added

"One last thing Loki-sama, for your back, I can try healing you, but I don't think it would be much effective.."

Shaking her head, Loki knew it was indeed as she said, and this, brought her to deny her offer while Ethan bite his lip. This because, he wanted to give her a massage as a way to thank her, but the fact he didn't know the technique at all, made him think it would have been useless to try it..

"That's fine.."

Confirming that her goddess didn't want anything, Riveria followed behind Ethan as the latter exited the door, but, instead of going into his own, he added

"Can we go in your room? Probably, Ais is in mine.."

Even though his words, brought her to furrow her brows, she just pointed behind where they were heading a second ago as she added

"...To go to my room, it's faster if we go to the left.."

That was all she said, as Ethan turned around while understanding that, in no time at all, he was the one following her...
