Danmachi(Myth Return)

Chapter 11

Orario

2 DAYS LATER

Third POV

in these two days, Orario experienced a very spectacular change. the news about Ais Wallenstein and Bell Cranel's Duel and what it entails becomes a heated topic that everyone knows, except the related person that still gets locked in her own room. Everyone either cursed Loki Familia for their cowardliness to make impossible demand or cheering at Hestia Familia especially Bell Cranel. a story about hero overcome impossibility always famous everywhere. even some denizen gather in front of Hestia Familia to cheer him, the exact opposite of Loki Familia which they protest. but, the gathering causes the Hearth Manor's resident to grow flustered so Elasha and Riveria build a sound and visual barrier there.

But there an unexpected thing that makes denizen confused. many of Loki Familia's members leave their Familia and join the other.

'(why they leave their Familia which clearly in an advantageous position?)'

and they shocked when they got an unexpected answer, a high possibility of Ais's losses. of course, at first, they did not believe it because who did not know 'Sword Princess' feat? but after a fifth of Familia's members leave in one day, they know its true so they rejoice and stop protesting at their gate and focus at Freya Familia, much to their distress that Freya decides to urge her child to finish the expedition faster. the other god gleefully mocked Loki for her foolishness. they even plan to hold a banquet after the duel, early celebration for Loki Familia's destruction, and even deliberately invite Loki.

"So, what will you do with that invitation Loki-sama?"

"of course I will go."

"arent they going to mock you there?"

"that's why. I will remember their faces so I can play with them later on. hahaha"

"do it in moderation, Loki-sama"

"fine! so, what about you, Riveria? didn't your people beg you to leave the Familia?"

"haaah, those people. there no way I quit but I hope they calm down a little."

there is an amazing fact that happens. Even when more than a fifth of Loki Familia's members leave, there not a single one elf that leaving. on the contrary, some elf requests to join her familia. this is happening because their princess declares that she will not leave and will participate in the fight with the black dragon.

of course, some of them tried to persuade even begging her to leave but she rejects their ideas. for elf outside the Familia, only some of them that still retaining their loyalty. but, for elves that already together with Riveria these years, they already borderline fanatic or even already cross it for example Alicia Forestlight who vowing to make any man wish they had never been born if they ever saw her bathing. so, after hearing Riveria's declaration they did not leave. they even planning to do a coup d'etat to save her from Loki's clutch if she didn't stop them.

In the end, they decide to get stronger so they can a bit more useful for her and start killing monsters in the dungeon indiscriminately. they like a group of madmen that performing mass-murder with their bloodlust and bloodshot eyes while shouting 'EXILIA!'. even makes some people scared when mentioning 'elf' which finally ends up increasing Riveria's headache.
