"I went to the Dungeon for training!"
Faced with Ais's answer, none of the people present had the slightest doubt. After all, Ais's desire to become stronger was stronger than anyone else's.
And this wasn't the first or second time she had snuck off to train in the Dungeon; she did it frequently.
The most extreme instance even forced the Familia members to watch over her, demanding that someone accompany her whenever she left, as long as she wasn't heading into the Dungeon.
After all, if she wasn't kept in check, Ais might very well turn into an idiot who knew only how to fight.
"Ais, don't sneak out like that next time! Riveria was angry for a long time today, and Loki even got hit."
Tione quietly leaned close to Ais's ear and whispered to her.
Hearing Tione's words, Ais looked at her with confused eyes, as if she didn't understand why Riveria was angry today.
"I'm sorry."
Ais looked Tione in the eyes and offered a sincere apology.
This...
Ais was like this. Every time she was caught training in the Dungeon, she would sincerely apologize, be obedient for two days, and then go back to training in the Dungeon again.
This wasn't just once or twice.
"Alright, alright! Let's hurry back!"
Tione and the others quickly brought the apprehended Ais back to the Loki Familia.
"Ais! Speak. How are you going to explain yourself this time!"
Riveria exuded an aura of 'do not approach,' her cold gaze fixed on Ais, who sat obediently.
As for Loki, she was already kneeling on a chair, her mouth covered with duct tape, only able to make muffled sounds.
It seemed Loki had been lectured by Riveria many times before Ais's return.
"I went to the Dungeon for training."
Hearing this answer, everyone present covered their foreheads and sighed, confirming that it was indeed the same reason again.
"Ais, you can go train, but you must find companions to go with, and you must report it to the Familia. Do you know how much trouble you caused today?"
Riveria wore an expression of 'I knew it,' but instantly reverted to her 'Ice Beauty' look and began to lecture Ais in her 'mother' role.
Hearing that Riveria's educational session was starting, Tione quickly and quietly retreated toward the door, moving slowly, not wanting to draw anyone else's attention.
However...
"Tione!"
"Present!"
"Go sit down over there!"
"Yes!"
With a command and a reply, Tione, who was already infinitely close to the door, was stopped by Riveria. She could only walk to her seat dejectedly and sit down obediently.
Riveria's voice echoed in the Loki Familia's great hall for a long time that night before gradually subsiding into silence.
Lin Feng finished updating the status parameters for his followers, Hayasaka Ai and the others. Their parameters had significantly increased today.
Hayasaka Ai's Magic proficiency also grew considerably. It seemed the Magic: Four Forms was quite effective, though the probability was a bit low, making it mostly useful just for simple disguise.
Katō Megumi's various parameters also saw a significant increase compared to yesterday's update.
It made Lin Feng very pleased that the two girls from an ordinary world were also working very hard to train their abilities.
As for Tsuyuri Kanawo, Hayasaka Ai and Katō Megumi both mentioned that she didn't seem to participate in many battles today, but her parameters still grew considerably.
Could it be the Flower Breathing: Total Concentration Constant?
This was an advanced technique that involved maintaining Total Concentration Breathing for twenty-four hours, including during sleep, to keep the body fully activated.
Simply put, she could gain proficiency in various parameters even when she wasn't fighting in the Dungeon. While the growth rate wasn't fast, the advantage was that she was improving every single minute and second.
That was the most terrifying aspect.
Lin Feng wondered what the limit of the Breathing Style would be in this world.
Through Lin Feng's explanation, Hayasaka Ai, Katō Megumi, and Seryu learned a bit about Tsuyuri Kanawo's Flower Breathing, but none of them requested to learn the technique.
They knew that even though they were all summoned by Lord Lin Feng (each with their own wishes and goals) and had gotten to know each other through battles in the Dungeon, it didn't mean one could casually teach the most important techniques without reservation.
Hayasaka Ai and the others were not fools, which was why they didn't make that request.
Unlike Ais, who barely knew the others and immediately demanded to learn their unique techniques—how could it be taught so simply?
Moreover, in the original work, this kind of breathing technique was not something that could be passed on casually.
Since Seryu was summoned after dinner, the welcome party would have to wait until tomorrow. The location for the party would, of course, be the Hostess of Fertility tavern.
All the waitresses there were very strong, and it was rumored that the chefs in the kitchen were also powerful, at least LV2 and up.
Such a small tavern concentrated so much fighting power.
