Chapter 114 - Twilight Manor

Completing her work after 20 minutes, Shakti sighed before raising her head, but, what she saw, wasn't to her liking.

"..Why are you still here? I thought you were going to check on someone else"

Being asked this question, Ganesha smiled before replying

"I wanted to add that you should prepare and go to check on him, but, you were still busy, so, I decided to remain here to remind you"

His words, made her release a heavy sigh while she got up from the chair.

"I don't need your care at all. If you said that and left, I would have gone there anyway. As I said, your idea was a good one, so, I will follow it"

Nodding in understanding, Ganesha headed towards the door while adding

"Well, if it's like that, I'll go to check on others..."

Saying so, he exited the room as Shakti decided to go to change her clothes.

Now at the entry of the Twilight Manor, Hestia saw that the same guard she saw last time, was there as she glared at him while the latter didn't know what to say. Seeing that she was heading towards him, he brought his spear to bar the entrance while remembering that the person in front of him was a Goddess.

"Hestia-sama..I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Are you authorized to enter?"

Staring at him, she nodded as she had a frown on her face

"Loki was the one to tell me that I could enter freely, and now, you want to stop me?"

Her words, made him furrow his brows as well as he didn't receive any new information about this, but the fact a goddess was saying so, made him think that it was better to do as she said.

Lowering his spear, the guard bowed slightly while adding

"I'm sorry, Hestia-sama. I didn't know that Loki-sama herself granted you the entry. But, for that kid.."

At his words, Lili replied by opening her mouth as she immediately added

"I was there last time too! Loki-sama already knows me, and I'm not a kid"

Slamming her foot on the ground as if to give strength to her words, she stared at the guard while the latter couldn't help but sigh loudly this time.

Deciding to change the conversation, the guard chose to believe the two as he looked away

"...You are free to pass"

His words, made both of them nod as they passed him.

"...Hestia-sama..that was smooth!"

Saying so, Lili chuckled while Hestia proudly raised her head

"It's indeed true that me and Loki decided to 'stop' to fight for a while.."

Even though this made her quite curious, Lili knew that it wasn't time to think about what happened while she wasn't there as she could see that the door that led in the hall was open.

Seeing someone she knew, Lili immediately called for her.

"Riveria.."

Hearing her calling her name, Riveria remembered who she was as she saw that, next to her, Hestia was there as well. Even though she wanted to ask how and why they entered, she could guess what happened while sighing

"Welcome again to our home, Hestia-sama...why are you here today?"

Her 'question' made Hestia immediately reply

"To check on Ethan, obviously!"

"Before going to him, it's better if I accompany you to talk with Loki-sama..."

The fact she didn't know in what 'kind' of relationship Loki and Hestia were, made things difficult for Riveria as she didn't know if she should talk about something rather than something else, but this, didn't matter for Hestia at all.

"It's fine, accompany us to Loki"

At her words, Riveria replied with a nod as she escorted the two to Loki without hesitation while Lili shook her head.

"I would've liked to just go to Ethan already.."

Hearing her muttering this, Riveria sighed as she could understand, from the time when she accompanied her to the Abandoned Church, that she was really honest and direct when her feelings were on the line...

---

After a few minutes, the group was at Loki's room before Riveria knocked a few times.

"Loki-sama...Hestia-sama came here to have a talk with you..."

"As If I didn't expect her to come..let her come in"

Hearing this as well, Hestia nodded as she opened the door while Lili stared at the scene before Riveria added

"..I had no time to tell her that you were here too. What do you want to do?"

The fact she was referring at her, made Lili blink as she thought about it

"..Do you have anything to do?"

Thinking about it, Riveria nodded with a sigh

"I have to go now, but, I can't leave you alone here.."

With these thoughts in mind, she saw Aki passing as Riveria immediately called for her.

Understanding that she was calling for someone to be with her, Lili looked away with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Can't I just go to Ethan's room?"

Hearing these words, Aki quickly 'understood' the situation as she immediately added

"If you want to see Ethan, I was just heading to the room where he's resting, but, I never saw you..."

Looking at Riveria as if to confirm that it was fine to bring her along, Aki saw as she nodded.

"Well, that can speed things up. She will accompany you to where Ethan is located. But, don't make too much noise and try to not touch him, if possible.."

Thinking that there was an actual reason for her warning, Lili nodded while Aki decided to not say anything about it as she thought that, if Riveria said something like that, it had to have some kind of reason.

"..Well..let's go?"

Asking this, Aki brought a hand on her shoulder with a smile on her face while Lili just nodded again.

Now heading towards the hall again, Riveria glanced at the two that were walking in the opposite direction. Confirming that everything would be fine, she decided to return on to more important matters as they were more urgent.

A few minutes after this, Shakti was at the entrance of the Twilight Manor as the guard, was surprised that another person was there already, but, without minding, he lowered his spear again to make it clear that the passage was denied, but, the person in front of him, didn't want to persuade him or anything like that.

Even though the guard was about to specify that she had to say why she was there, or who she was to have the access to enter, Shakti was faster.

"Sorry to interrupt you while working. I am the Captain of the Ganesha Familia, Shakti Varma. Can you inform Loki-sama that I'm here for Ganesha-sama?"

Her 'polite' words, made him think about it as, upon hearing that she was Ganesha Familia's Captain, the guard had a shocked expression on his face as he immediately added

"..Please, wait a moment..."

Calling for someone that would report this information to Loki, the guard felt extremely weirded as, in a few hours, he met more people than usual that wanted to 'blatantly' pass.

After the messenger understood what he had to say, he immediately went to do his task while Shakti sighed

"Your work is really though."

Thinking about how many people were forced to watch over the Colosseum, Shakti felt like she could sympathize with the guard while the latter made a frown, but, in the end, he decided to not reply to her words as the messenger immediately came back.

"Loki-sama said to let her enter and to escort her in her meeting room.."

Hearing this, brought Shakti to pass the gate as the guard saw the two entering the Twilight Manor.

'I can only hope that, for today, visitors will be finished...'

Thinking this, the guard sighed again before raising his spear back as a sign of guard...

"Are you sure you want to go already...? You don't have to..."

Saying so, Syr placed the plate she had in her hands on the table while Ryuu shook her head.

"I can't work... when you are always worried about something. I will say to him that you want him... to come here.."

Saying so, Ryuu was determined to check on him while Syr felt her cheeks were hot from the way she was expressing things, but..

"..Mama Mia will be quite angry if you don't start working already.."

Nodding in affirmation, she knew that Mama Mia wanted her to work, and she planned to start doing so after checking on him one last time.

"..I will work hard, to repay her of the time I didn't work.."

Saying so, Ryuu went to Mama Mia to ask her to skip today's turn as well while Syr sighed. She knew that the situation was getting out of hand, also because Ryuu seemed to want to help her too much, even if, for her, she hadn't done anything special to deserve this ..

"She's really working hard for you-nya"

Hearing these words, Syr blinked as she immediately replied

"...Yes. But, I feel like she is doing too much now.."

Saying so, Syr took another order while the girl next to her immediately replied

"...You shouldn't say this. She's helping you-nya, so, you have to be grateful and be ready to return the favour when the time will come...That's all you should worry about-nya.."

These words, brought her to hurry towards the table where she had to place the plates while the girl just shook her head upon seeing that she was avoiding her suggestion.

"Chloe! Bring this order to the man with black hair and black eyes with a blue shirt"

Hearing this, Chloe took the plates while Syr was thinking about her previous words..

'I know that as well, Chloe..but, this isn't something I can easily change..even if I may even be able to return these favours..'

Being called again, Syr decided to stop thinking about this for the moment while Ryuu, having obtained the permission of Mama Mia to skip work, headed in her own room to change her clothes...
