The Fight

Alan walks around searching for Aphrodite while looking around Melen. The building isn't as tall as the building in Orario. The people also fewer and even though some join a Familia, they still do an everyday type of job.

Argana becomes calmer after following Alan while Bache keeps walking behind Alan and sneak glance from time to time. Alan feels the glance from some time and asks her "Bache, why are you keep walking behind me, You're not the you that always scared because of your sister. Walk beside me." Alan said while thinking 'Shy wife also not that bad either, she's cute, Ehehehe~' while keeping a poker face so his pervert smile is not shown.

"Hmm? Loki? Bete? Yow! cute puppy, also slant eyes Goddess." Alan greets them while waving his hand. Loki turns her head and smiles at Alan "Yow, Flashy guy. What brought you here?". Alan walks closer to Loki "Nothing, I just looking for my Goddess wife. She should be with Artemis, have you seen her?" Alan said.

Bete behind Loki seems pissed by Alan's arrival. Noticing how Bete behaves, Alan teases him "Yow, puppy. A good puppy should greet back after being called." Bete ticked off hearing Alan "Who do you call a puppy!? Just because you beat me once doesn't mean you're that strong!. Tch..."

"Hahahaha... still as hot as ever I see. Anyway Loki, your answer is not here." Alan laughs and turns back to Loki. Loki smile reduce from her wide usual smile "What do you mean?". "You still don't get it even I just said it to you? Ayaa~ I'm disappointed by you now. I know what answer you're looking for." Alan said grin at Loki.

"Are you the enemy? Is that why you have Argana and Bache behind you?" Loki said grinning too. "Hahahaha... You're really interesting Loki, No, I'm not the enemy. About these two, they want to follow me, so I'm looking for Aphrodite to convert their crest." Alan laughs since Loki not backing down.

"Do you have my answer? Do you mind sharing the answer with me? I can pay with my body right here." Loki said teasing Alan and moving closer to him. Alan flicks her forehead "I already have my reward, I just need your consent."

Loki cover the spot where she got flicked "Mind telling me why you need my consent for?". "I want to take Tiona or maybe Tione but not now. In exchange I make them be the third and the fourth level 7 in Orario." Alan said while smile at Loki.

"If you gonna take them anyway, what is in it for me?" Loki said while thinking with her hand in her chin. "At least you can have the glory being the one that raises an adventurer to level 7. Also, you got your answer where to look for the second entrance for the dungeon." Alan said

Loki looks at Alan and her smile becomes wider "So you really indeed know about it and what about Ais? As far as I know you also interested in her.". Alan cover his face and laugh "Hahaha... nothing really escape you aren't there Loki? About Ais, I will let her take her own ground. At least I know who is her reincarnated father was."

Loki hearing Alan said flinch for a second "What did you say? How can you know something like that when you're not a God that governs life.". Alan smile back at Loki "I know some information the God doesn't know including the answer about the one you're looking for." "Who are you really?" Loki said with a serious face.

"Me? I'm a human at least before becoming part of a dragon race. Anyway, I'm still waiting for your answer." Alan said going back to the topic. "I will accept the deal then, As an Amazoness they will eventually resign from my Familia when they marry someone. Tiona and Tione already said to me even though Tione said she will chase Finn but if she chooses to chase someone else, I can't keep her either." Loki said after thinking for a while.

"Then let me tell you, the second entrance is inside the Orario. The zone that never been investigated. Daedalus Street, there's an underground man-made dungeon, Knossos. Be careful, because your Familia will be attacked if you get inside to investigate even if only 1 member gets inside." Alan said while walk past Loki.

"Wait, how do they know that my Familia will investigate the place if only a member went in there? It could still only an accident, right? There's never news about Daedalus street filled with a murderer." Loki quickly said noticing odd information from Alan. Alan which already walks past Loki stops and turns only his head toward Loki "I actually want to tell you, I really do but it's more exciting this way." Alan smiles at Loki and leaves her, Loki does not demand Alan to tell her since she knows that Alan won't tell her, at least for now and with the information, Loki can inform her Familia to always on alert instead trying to make it like an accident. Loki can only think that the enemy already got information about her investigation.

'The negotiation work at least, and I hope this time not many of Loki Familia that end up dead. Let's hope Line won't end up dead, Loki should already get the clue that I left for her.' Alan thought while keep looking for Aphrodite. Both Loki and Alan thought the same 'Yes, this is no more investigation but from here an on its war.' but Loki quickly froze after recalling the conversation. 'Third and fourth?? Who's the second? Don't tell me... So that's why you're so confident to get Tiona and Tione to level 7. You're really an enigma, Alan.' For the first time that Loki smile helplessly.

"Bete, we're going back," Loki said. "Tch.. Do you really trust that guy? He's suspicious of knowing this information." Bete said because he just doesn't like Alan. Loki then smiles "No, he warned me not to lose my Familia member. If he's a part of the enemy then he won't give any information at all." Loki then walks behind Bete and murmur "Even then I rather have him as an ally than an enemy. Whoever has him on their side won the war, but he only stays neutral and watches from the side. It's more like he's watching a show."

A few hours later, Alan found Aphrodite and Artemis are looking at the harbor where Loki Familia fighting with Kali Familia to get Lefiya back while both of them sitting at a chair.

"So, Ditey, why are you watching them fighting?" Alan walks behind her and asks her. Aphrodite that watching the fight keeps focusing on the fight and not bother turning her face toward Alan "I don't know.".

"Then, what happens if I said that the sisters this morning is coming back?" Alan said while also watching Loki Familia. Aphrodite perked up and turn her head "Really??" just then Aphrodite can see Argana and Bache behind Alan.

Argana quickly moves toward Aphrodite "Hello, sister. Alan already explains a little about your Familia. From today on, we're sisters." Argana said while hugging Aphrodite.

"Hello, big sister Aphrodite. I'm Bache, will be your younger sister too. Please take care of me." Bache said bowing toward Aphrodite.

Then someone from the fight realizes the existence about Argana and Bache which known to be the captain for Kali Familia. So, without hesitation, they charge toward our direction but Finn quickly stops them after realizing the direction they're charging. "Stand down. Let me and Gareth handle this situation." Finn said.

Finn and Gareth then walk toward us without any hostility. "Is this your new member, Alan? I really can't predict anything you do. Even though it's not direct help, but I will thank you for that. Without Argana and Bache, our chance of getting back Lefiya also increases. Once again, Thank you for the help, Alan." Finn said after watching Argana and Bache which still talking with Artemis and Aphrodite behind Alan.

Alan smile at Finn and Gareth then turn back toward the fight "You two aren't gonna help them?" Alan said while crossing his arm and watch the fight between two familia.

Finn also crosses his arm hugging his spear and stand beside Alan then shook his head "No, they need the experience." Gareth then walks beside Finn with his ax "Yeah, it's rare to get fight like this since no one wants to offend Loki Familia in Orario."

Alan then walk away after picked up Aphrodite from watching and call the other, but he stops for a moment and said "Be careful, Ishtar also coming." then they went inside the town leaving Finn and Gareth to stand there thinking for strategy after his warning.
