Because right now, he really lacks sincerity towards everyone present here.

The most obvious example...

"Without a doubt, Paimon's 'space backpack' ability will greatly improve the efficiency of Loki's Familia's 'expeditions'."

“However, since I intend to use the ‘Demon Manifestation’ magic for assassination, just in case, I cannot casually reveal too much about Paimon to outsiders.”

"Leaving aside his daily solo dungeon runs, he shouldn't actively let too many people know about Paimon's abilities."

This was something Ling Shu had already thought about carefully before arriving at the 'Twilight Mansion'.

at the moment……

"Speaking of which, it is indeed time for lunch now."

Finn changed the subject, looking at Ling Shu (Kong) and asking, "Kong, Ying, do you want to come along?"

"Uh, we already ate before we came."

Ling Shu (Kong) shrugged in response.

Beside him, Ying, to prevent the other side from thinking that they were making excuses because of the slight unpleasantness that had just happened, carefully added an explanation: "Orario's 'Fried Potato Balls' are really delicious and very filling."

She had barely finished speaking...

"Hehe↗"

From the side, intense gazes came again.

Ying subconsciously turned her head to look...

"..."

That [Sword Maiden] was clearly a bit of a ditz; she didn't even notice the awkward atmosphere that had formed in the room just seconds before and hadn't completely dissipated yet. Instead, she stared at Ying with an expression of 'seeing a kindred spirit'.

and……

What flavor of "French fries" do you like?

As she asked the question, the 'Sword Princess' suddenly took a step forward, her expression instantly becoming extremely serious.

It just feels like she's completely misusing her seriousness.

In short, upon seeing the other party suddenly approach, Ying subconsciously took a small step back.

But the next moment, she replied tentatively, "Uh, red bean cream flavor?"

"Hehehe↑"

The blonde, golden-eyed, emotionless girl grabbed Ying's hands.

Although she didn't say a word, her eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Judging from her posture, she was just short of grabbing a bottle of vodka and shouting "Comrade!"

So...

Why are you looking so serious?

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Queen of Ten Thousand Women Arrives Online

The Loki Familia's morning passed in a flurry of chaos.

During breakfast, almost the entire group gathered inside the large dining room on the first floor, which resembled the Great Hall of Hogwarts...

"Your long-awaited expedition will begin in three days."

Wow~

"Does anyone want to go on an expedition?"

"I want to~"

Are you all afraid of monsters?

"Scared~~~"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As Loki, seated at the very front and head of the table, placed one foot on the table in front of him and delivered these simple yet powerful mobilization speeches, most of the members in the room burst into laughter and cheered him on.

Although Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying had already eaten breakfast before arriving at the 'Twilight Mansion', they were still invited to sit down here.

His and her seats were right next to the sisters Ais and Sylvie.

The "Big Three," being the most senior members of the clan, sat in the main seats at the very front, just like Loki.

to be honest……

This harmonious family atmosphere is something that Freya's own family could never experience.

Perhaps, Ling Shu would have longed for this place.

but now……

"Humans are so easily 'used to' things."

He muttered this to himself.

At this time...

"Today, I would like to introduce two guests to you."

Finn, the current leader of the group, took the initiative to speak, and pointed to Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying at the front of the central long table, "Recently, I'm sure everyone is familiar with the name of the [Twin Stars]."

"Next, Sora and Ying will temporarily join our expedition team and will enter the deeper areas of the dungeon together in three days... Please welcome them."

Since it was their highly respected leader who was speaking, most of the members applauded in response.

However, during this period...

"【Twin Stars】? The one who leveled up to Lv.2 in a week, breaking Miss Ais's 'fastest leveling record in the city'?"

"They seem to be members of the 'Freya Familia'?"

"Is it really okay to let these two join the expedition team?"

Unsurprisingly, there will be doubts and suspicions.

After all, the two top factions in Orario are openly in competition.

Loki and Freya's friendship was known not only to the outside world, but also to only a very few 'core members' within the Familia.

Moreover, trust is something that takes time to build up.

Like that situation where "when the king releases his domineering aura, heroes from all directions pay homage"... well, anything can happen in dreams.

In short, Ling Shu had long been mentally prepared for the current slightly awkward situation.

He and Ying exchanged a glance, then stood up at the same time and began to greet the other people in the hall with smiles.

In terms of attitude, as long as you take the initiative to show goodwill, it is not easy to make people dislike you.

Furthermore, as long as one speaks in a friendly and informal tone during casual conversation, it is easy to talk to people one is meeting for the first time and find common topics.

Once this 'start' is made, there will be plenty of opportunities to increase 'favorability' later on.

Ling Shu himself genuinely wanted to make some friends within the Loki Familia.

Because he could encounter many people here who were already 'familiar' with him before he transmigrated.

For example: Tiona, with her 'little angel' personality; Rivera, whom many Loki Familia members call 'Mom'; Ais, the 'emotionally dense but powerful girl with no emotions'; and Tione, the 'obsessed older sister who fawns over the captain'.

and also……

"Her name is Lefia, and she's a rising star in our clan."

To be fair, Tiony seemed quite normal when she wasn't talking about Finn.

She's like a caring older sister to me.

At this moment, she pushed a seemingly shy elf girl to Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying, introducing them to each other.

Look closely, and you'll see that this elven girl has long, wispy brown hair tied up in a high ponytail. She's now 'forced' to come in front of the two of them, and her fingers are still playfully twirling around.

"Hello, my name is 'Lefia Viridis', I am a mage of the Loki Familia, currently at Level 3..."

She seemed a bit too nervous; her self-introduction almost sounded like a job application resume.

Regarding this...

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Rafia."

At this moment, Ling Shu (Kong) did not take the initiative to respond, but instead let a certain silly sister use her special talent as the queen of all women.

He felt that perhaps girls would have more in common.

Therefore, Ling Shu (Kong) simply stood aside, smiled, and nodded to the 'Yamabuki-iro sprite' as a greeting.

More often than not, Ying was asked to chat with her and gradually build a good relationship.

That's how it is...

Taking advantage of the short breakfast time, Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying have already begun to interact with each other within the Loki Familia.

I've at least become a familiar face to many people.

And after that...

"Huh? The [Development Ability] you chose when you leveled up to Lv.2 was 'Cooking'?"

There is no doubt that Ais, Lefia, and the Sylute sisters form a small circle.

However, Ying has now cleverly joined in as well.

As expected of the Queen of Ten Thousand Women...

cough~

In short, on the one hand, it was due to Captain Finn's order to "treat the guests well," and on the other hand... girls like Tiona with their "angelic" personalities, and the rather "emotionless" Ais, wouldn't care too much about the barriers caused by "different Familias." So, the group decided to take Luminous out shopping together.

It's important to know that with the 'Expedition' imminent, although the 'Big Three' will arrange the team's supplies, the team members will still need to purchase more personal items themselves.

Ling Shu (Kong) naturally wouldn't participate in activities that were suitable for 'girls' to get along with.

Imagine they're going to a lingerie store, would you go in or not?
