What Home Feels Like

I was awoken a few hours later by the grumbling of my stomach and went to look at a mirror in the room to fix my appearance up a bit. When I got around to looking at myself from the full-body mirror, it was at that moment that I remembered that I got slashed by Finn across my chest which lead to my new attire getting ripped apart which made me sigh.

'Ha... I just bought this Finn...'

I thought to myself as I looked around the room to find a wardrobe to put my torn clothes in for the time being.

'I could just go shirtless for now and wear my armor anyways and it would be no different.'

To my surprise, however, the wardrobe was already filled with clothes of my size. After trying a few of them on, it was even quite scarily so well-fitted on my body which made me feel like it was neither too tight nor too loose.

'A bit creepy that they got their hands on the exact measurements of my body... Yet again, this is a fantasy world filled with countless wonders and powers so I shouldn't be that surprised I guess...'

As I was thinking to myself, I found a casual-looking attire which made me look good but didn't look extravagant. As I exited my room to go and find the dining room to go eat dinner, I met with Ais whom was passing by my room and was headed towards somewhere.

"Ah, hello Ais. Can you point me to the area of the dining room please?"

I asked nicely as she tilted her head in response which made my heart rate raise a bit for it was such a cute sight to behold.

"... Food?"

What she said kind of caught me off-guard but I quickly snapped myself out of it and answered her back.

"... Yes."

"... Follow me."

After that interaction, I merely followed behind her and stayed silent as I knew that any attempt of mine to interact with her would probably lead to something awkward. She didn't try to speak to me either which made me relieved yet a bit disappointed at the same time. Whichever the case, I didn't complain much afterwards as being escorted by a beautiful girl wasn't something someone could easily experience everyday. As I was enjoying the silence and the beauty of Ais, we turned a corner and found ourselves in the dining room with all the other members of the familia already inside.

"Oh, Ais-sama! You're finally done training huh?"

"Ais-san, do you want some meat buns?"

"Ais, there's..."

As soon as we entered the room, she got pulled away from me by the other members of the familia. Although I was kind of ignored and not paid any attention to, I merely shook my head and smiled wryly in response as I was just a new member of the familia and no one really knew me which made it a kind of expected result. I went towards one of the corners of the table which had a vacant seat and got myself a large serving of food which was already present on the table. Just as I was about to chow down, Finn came and sat across the table in front of me while still gazing at the happy and joyful sight of the members of the Loki Familia.

"They are quite the noisy bunch, aren't they?"

"Well, that just makes the atmosphere a lot better in my opinion."

"I wouldn't deny that. By the way Reza, don't take it to heart that they ignored your arrival please. They are kind of all scared and wary of you because of the power you gave off a few hours ago."

He said as I sensed another two presences approaching the table that sat near me and Finn.

"I wouldn't say that all of us are scared. I truly respect and admire the skill and power you have with the Longsword, Reza. I'm proud to welcome you into our family.

"Hmph! Since you were able to stand against captain and even made him feel pressured, it was only natural that those weakling would be scared of you. Also, w-wel-come t-to t-the fam-mily..."

The two were Bete and Gareth which both said their welcomes and complimented my prowess in their won ways. Bete's way of welcoming me made me especially laugh as although he spoke quite clearly and arrogantly when berating the weaker members, he stuttered at his words of welcoming me. My laugh towards him made him pissed as he retorted in response.

"Don't you get too arrogant just cause you made captain pressured Reza!"

"Hahaha! Sorry Bete, thank you for welcoming me into the familia. You too Gareth."

I bowed and said while Gareth then took a mug of beer beside him then raised it up into the air.

"Cheers to the Loki Familia getting yet another strong combatant!"

"Cheers!"

We all raised our beer mugs and lightly smacked them together as we all began to drink and laugh which made me feel for the first time what it was like to truly have a home in this other world.

'Speaking about home, I should go pay Caam a visit and show him how far that little kid whom he sheltered has gone...'

I thought to myself as we were drinking more and more. Eventually, when the other members saw me drinking with the Finn, Bete and Gareth while laughing and having fun, they were finally able to put away their fears and drank along with with the four of us.

Eventually, the two amazonesses joined us in drinking as one of them all of a sudden latched onto my arm and spoke intoxicated.

"Oi Reza... Since you're quite a strong man, would you mind me having your babies~?"

Everyone around me froze up as Tiona spoke out loud while she was trying to seduce me with her figure which felt like a child's body in my opinion. I then tried to take the dominant stand to try and scare her away. While she was latching onto my arm, I lifted her chin and brought my mouth to her ear as I softly spoke.

"The question isn't whether or not I would mind having your babies. It is whether or not you're worthy of having my babies."

And with that action of mine, she briefly backed off while blushing which made everyone around me laugh boisterously.

"HAHAHA!!! REZA IS A TRUE MAN, BEING ABLE TO MAKE THE USUALLY FIERCE AND DOMINANT AMAZONESS BACK OFF!!!"

Gareth loudly spoke while raising his mug high into the air and laughing.

"CHEERS!!! CHEERS TO THE MANLINESS OF REZA!"

"CHEERS!!!"

And with that, we drank some more until our drunken laughter eventually fizzled out as we all got knocked out from the amount of beer that we drank. That night, I fell asleep with probably the biggest smile that I've ever made in the entirety of my life here in the Danmachi world and probably even my previous life.
