The demon monk in the second dimension

"Oh no! Anya and Mia's mom said they ordered a ton of food, meow! Anya, cancel it right now, meow!"

The cat-girl skipped and hopped towards the kitchen.

Liu held the plate of food, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her breathing.

She went to Astrea and Xia Zhi and put down the slightly trembling plate of food.

"Your order, Lady Astraea."

"Lyu!"

Astraea excitedly grabbed Ryu's hand.

"It's so good to see you living a peaceful life here!"

"Lady Astraea..."

Ryuya held Astraea's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

It must be a miracle that Lady Astrea was able to return to Orario!

Lady Astrea must have put in a tremendous amount of effort for this!

Chapter 200 The Loki Familia

"Cough cough."

Just then, the shop owner came over and said to Liu.

"Let's catch up after we close. Get back to work!"

Ryu also realized that this would expose his identity and cause trouble for Astrea, who had come to Orario again, so he nodded.

“Okay, Mom Mia.”

After Ryu left, Mia bowed her head to Astraea.

"Excuse me, Lady Astraea."

Astraea didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she was grateful to Mia for taking Ryu in.

Ryukaku is a Level 1 wanted criminal in Orario, and taking her in would be risky.

"Is this your shop, Mia? Thank you so much for taking care of that child."

"You are serious."

As the former leader of the Freya Familia, Mia naturally knew the goddess Astrea and also knew Ryu's identity.

But if it weren't for Seele, or rather, if Freya, who had transformed into Seele, had taken Ryu in, she definitely wouldn't have bothered with it.

After Mia left, a deity who was clearly a goddess but had a figure no different from a god, with red hair tied in a ponytail, sat down next to Astrea.

She and her retinue were having a banquet, but they were immediately drawn to Astraea when they saw her.

"Asteria. If I remember correctly, you should have returned to the Celestial Realm, right? How come you're back?"

She brought over two glasses of wine, somewhat puzzled.

"It's Loki."

Astraea nodded to the familiar goddess, smiled, and clinked her glass with hers.

She was happy to see that Liu was not missing any limbs and was living a good life.

"I couldn't rest easy, and I was unwilling to accept the fate of my clan. So I asked Athena for help, and came to Orario again."

"Even Astraea, the goddess of fairness and justice, is unwilling to accept this? It seems we have indeed changed a lot because of the children in the mortal realm."

Loki, who was definitely considered chaotic and evil in the realm of gods and often clashed with Astraea, smiled.

With the air of a middle-aged man, she chugdled the wine in her glass and sighed.

"A second entry into Orario isn't cheap. Your relationship with Athena is as good as ever."

Loki then looked at Xia Zhi.

"Who is this young man? Aren't you going to introduce him?"

Xia Zhi introduced it to Loki.

"Nice to meet you, Loki. I am Xia Zhi. A member of the Astrea Familia, and possibly the captain in the future."

Summer Solstice?

Upon hearing the name, Loki paused for a moment, then said in an exaggerated tone.

"You wouldn't happen to be from the Celestial Realm, would you? No wonder Astraea was so confident in fighting again; she's got powerful reinforcements!"

Summer Solstice? The God's new familiar? And he'll be the leader?

Liu, who had been paying attention to this area, immediately took Xia Zhi's self-introduction to heart.

But why would Loki say he's a powerful ally? What does "Asgard" mean? Is it a very powerful place?

"You flatter me with the title of 'strong reinforcement.' I'm just an ordinary person now."

Xia Zhi appeared modest, but in reality, she spoke with great confidence.

"Now that we've come to Orario, we must abide by Orario's rules, accept the blessings of the gods, and start from LV0 to level up step by step."

"Are you trying to fool me?"

Loki rolled his eyes at Xia Zhi, then casually picked up a meatball from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"With your methods, bypassing the grace of God is far too easy. Putting aside everything else, mastering a thousand martial arts techniques should be a piece of cake for you, right?"

"No, no, no. Loki was referring to my elder sister. I only have a little bit of experience in swordsmanship."

Xia Zhi revealed a pair of squinty eyes that were remarkably similar to Loki's, and gestured with her thumb and forefinger.

"Wow, just a little bit?"

Loki flashed the same squinty smile, their two squinty eyes meeting happily.

I really didn't believe your lies!

At the table next to them, Ais Wallenstein, a member of the Loki Familia and known as "Sword Maiden," turned her gaze over upon hearing this.

"kendo?"

As a sword-wielding adventurer, she was eager to try it out and see just how good the martial arts Loki had praised were.

When Bert, the werewolf who liked Ais, noticed that Ais was attracted to someone who looked like a pretty boy, he became very unhappy.

"Hey, Ais, do you remember that little dwarf we met today?"

He attracted the attention of those around him and laughed loudly.

"You sliced ​​the Minotaur in two with your sword, spilling his blood all over him and saving his life. And the little dwarf you saved actually cried in fear! Hahahaha!"

"That brat actually ran away crying when he saw Ais! That's hilarious! Ais scared him to tears! Hahahaha!"

Bert's words amused the other members of the Loki Familia.

It's hard to imagine that Ais, who seems like a little sister to them, is so innocent and cute, that she could scare someone to tears.

This classic scene—

Xia Zhi turned her head and saw a short man with silver hair rushing out of the tavern with his head down.

It looks like they're trying to dine and dash.

That must be Bell Craney.

Haven't we been seeing a lot more silver-haired characters lately?

As he became intoxicated, Bert's words became increasingly outrageous.

"Ais, tell me! Do you want to be with me more than that shorty? As a woman, whose woman would you rather be?"

This coercive questioning caused the other members of the family to frown.

Astraea was also somewhat dissatisfied.

As a virgin goddess, she hates it most when others force women.

"Well, every family has its own problems!"

Loki smiled somewhat embarrassedly at Astraea's reproachful gaze.

She turned to look at Bert, who was still drunk and seemed to want to forcefully hug Ais, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.

"Hang him up and beat him!"

Ais is mine!

"Yes!"

Immediately, the Amazon sisters of the Loki Familia, grinning mischievously, used ropes to hang Bert from the ceiling.

Riveria grabbed the werewolf's head and slapped it hard. The drunk Bert spun wildly on the ceiling like an electric fan!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

With his hands bound and no foothold, the werewolf screamed in agony, his vision blurring.

Loki chuckled as he watched Mia approach, her expression clearly displeased at the sight of someone skipping out on their bill and disrupting the order.

"Excuse me, Mommy Mia, could you please have another serving of these dishes?"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

This move had an immediate and noticeable effect.

Mia's expression shifted from sunny to cloudy as she returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

After Loki's Familia left, Ryu finally found a chance to be alone with Astraea.

Astraea glanced back at Xia Zhi, who replied knowingly.

"It's been so long, you must have a lot to talk about, right? Don't worry about me. I'm going to find a hotel. See you tomorrow morning."

So, Ryu took Astraea back to her room, and the two poured out their hearts to each other.

Xia Zhi paid the bill at Mia's place and was about to leave when someone called her back.

Chapter 201 God's Grace

Xia Zhi originally thought it was Seele calling her, but it turned out to be the catgirl Anya.

Her pair of cat ears twitched adorably as she asked Xia Zhi.

Will Ryu leave us, meow?

"Will not."

Xia Zhi shook her head slightly and explained.

“The guild must know that Ryu is working as a waitress here, but they haven’t pursued it because of their past relationship with the Astrea Familia. If they let Ryu return to the Familia, it would be like openly slapping the guild in the face, and they won’t turn a blind eye like they do now.”

"Really? That's good, meow!"

Anya patted her small chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and casually waved to Xia Zhi.

"Ania reluctantly agrees that you're not a bad person, meow. Goodbye, meow!"

……

They found a random hotel nearby to stay overnight, and the next morning, Xia Zhi went to have breakfast at the abundant hostess's house.

Mia handed Xia Zhi a large bowl of steaming noodles, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Men need to eat more in the morning to have energy! Eat up, don't be shy!"

Judging from her tone, Xia Zhi thought she was going to treat everyone!

Xia Zhi rubbed her shoulders: Mia is a level 6 adventurer, she's quite strong, then started eating her noodles.

Because of Orario's unique nature, the bountiful hostess mainly serves dinner.

During the day, most adventurers are fighting in the dungeon, so it's impossible for them to come up for a meal halfway through a fight.
