Chapter 30: Chapter – 30 (I have arrived (Part 2))
Ryuu, Syr and Lunoire looked at each other with dumbfounded expression. First, they got stunned by sudden song but when they recognized whose voice is it, they got shocked. As they were looking at each other, Chloe and Anya respond.
Chloe: What a beautiful voice and a beautiful song, meow~.
Anya: *nod* *nod* Yes. Beautiful, meow~.
They both closed their eyes and started to enjoy it. After some time, when they opened their eyes and turned to others asking what they think about the song. But they stopped seeing their weird expression.
Chloe: Why you all look so shocked, meow~.
Anya: You are not enjoying the song, meow~.
Then Ryuu, Syr and Lunoire turned to Chloe and Anya, and said in trembling voice.
Syr: T-This vo-voice...
Lunoire: b-belongs t-to...
Ryuu: T-The…T-The
All Three: THE BLACK SWORDSMAN
Chole and Ryuu also stopped. Their eyes got widened and looked at three with shocked expression. They never thought they will hear the voice of the one they were talking about this soon.

In the north-east part of the city, there were workplaces and home of a Familia. If you ask anyone about it, then even a child can tell whose place that belonged to. Hephaestus Familia. One of the strongest Familia alongside Freya and Loki Familia.
But the reason why it's below Freya and Loki Familia was because almost all the members of Familia like to spend most their time on Blacksmithing rather than on dungeon. But this didn't mean they were weak. Currently, a quarrel was happening in one of the Familia House.
???: Hephaestus, we have been friends for so many years and that's how you treat your friend.
Said a beautiful and petite Goddess with a youthful appearance. She has blue eyes and mid-thigh length black hair tied into two twintails which reached down to her mid-thighs. Her hair was tied with hair accessories that feature blue and white petals along with bell-shaped ornaments.
Her attire was a white mini dress with a blue ribbon around her neck and one tied under her breasts around her arms, and a pair of white gloves. She was barefooted. She has a small frame, which further emphasizes her breasts. Because of that she has the nickname "Loli Big-boobs". She is the Goddess of Hearth, Hestia.
???: *sign* Hestia, I called you down so that you can enjoy the lower world. But ever since you have come down, all you were doing is freeloading and lazing around.
Said another Goddess. She has a crimson eye and red hair reaching to the neck. She has a rather sharp face and slender body with an eyepatch over her right eye. She is the Goddess of Smithing, Hephaestus. She is also the Head of Hephaestus Familia.
Hestia: I am 'enjoying' (Lazing) in lower world and in my best friend house.
Hearing Hestia answer, Hephaestus mouth twitched. Just she was about to reply she saw that Hestia had started to doze off again. This time on her Couch while talking. A vein appeared on Hephaestus forehead, and she yelled.
Hephaestus: HESTIA!
Hestia woke up from the Hephaestus sudden shout and started to rub her eyes.
Hestia: What is it now, Hephaestus? Can't you see I am 'enjoying' myself.
Hephaestus gritted her teeth controlling her rage and said.
Hephaestus: One month. You can only stay here for another one month. After that I will kick you out.
Hestia: HEPHAESTUS THAT'S CRUEL. WHERE WILL I LIVE IF YOU WILL 'LEAVE'(Kick) ME.
Hephaestus: There is an abandoned church at the west side of the Babel, you can live there. You have freeloaded here enough.
Hestia: Hephaestus, how can let have your best friend live in an abandoned church all alone?
Hephaestus ignored Hestia emotional blackmail words and continued.
Hephaestus: If you don't want to live alone then create your own Familia.
After saying that Hephaestus smiled at Hestia. But instead of a normal smile it looked more like mocking one.
Hephaestus: Though I doubt anyone want to join the Familia of a Laziest Goddess.
Hearing this Hestia snapped. She stood up from her seat and shout
Hestia: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NO ONE WILL JOIN BY FAMILIA?
Seeing Hestia anger, Hephaestus didn't answer but just stare at Hestia with mocking smile on her face. Hestia gritted her teeth seeing that smile.
Hestia: JUST YOU WAIT. ONCE I WILL CREATE MY FAMILIA, IT WILL THE STRONGEST IN THE ENTIRE ORARIO.
Hephaestus: Yes. Yes. The Strongest. Says the one who didn't even have a single member yet.
Hestia mouth twitched and vein started to appear on her forehead. But before they could start their quarrel again, they heard a song and stopped. The song was very beautiful that it touched their heart and calm them down. They both started to enjoy the song but then Hestia said.
Hestia: Hephaestus, why didn't you tell me that there is someone here who can sing this beautifully.
Hephaestus: *shake her head* This is the first time I have ever hear this too ever since I have come down to lower world.
Hestia: YOU ARE NOT KIDDING, RIGHT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU HEARD SOMEONE SINGING LIKE THIS.
Hestia stood up again and move her face closer to Hephaestus. Hephaestus move back a little. She saw that Hestia eyes are shinning. So, she unconsciously nodded her head.
Hestia: YES. This means this person must be new here. And since he is new here that means he haven't joined any Familia yet.
Hestia sit down again and started to mummer. After that she nodded her head and stand up and declared.
Hestia: Alright. I have decided. I will have this person join my Familia.
After saying that, Hestia sat down again and closed her eyes to enjoy the song. If it was another time, then Hephaestus would have reprimand Hestia for dozing off again. But this time she keeps quiet. She also closes her eyes and started to enjoy the song.

In the North of Orario. There exists the home of one of the strongest Familia. Loki Familia.
The Loki Familia home is known as the Twilight Manor. The Twilight Manor is described to be huge structure built on a small area of land. Multiple tall towers overlap and support each other, with the middle tower being the tallest. The home is also described as being carved out from flames.
Right now, members of Loki Familia were planning whether to go deeper into dungeon or not. On the seat behind the table was sitting a Goddess. She has light red hair and red eyes. She was dress up in tomboyish or male attire, mainly jeans and a shirt that shows off her stomach. She ties her hair back in a simple ponytail. She is the Goddess of Trickery as well as the head of Loki Familia. Loki.
Loki: So, have all decided to go deeper into dungeon or not.
???: Not yet. I think we should wait until some members increase their Stats some more.
Said a Pallum. He had medium length scruffy blonde hair and blue eyes with a fair skin tone. He had a small body but was still strong. He had the appearance of a child despite being over 40 years old. He wore a yellow vest over purple long-sleeved shirt and trousers. He was the Captain of Loki Familia. Finn Deimne
Loki: What did others think?
???: *nod* I also think we should wait.
Said a High-Elf. She is tall with jade-colored hair tied in a ponytail that reached to her waist, same color eyes, and Elf ears. She wore a green outfit with yellow borders, a white cloak over it, a black belt, a yellow sash, black leggings, and long brown boots. She could be described to be exceptionally beautiful than a number of Goddesses. She is the Vice-Caption of Loki Familia. Riveria Ljos Alf.
???: Yes. We should wait just like our Captain said.
This time it was an Amazoness. She has dark green eyes and long brown hair. As an Amazoness, she was wearing a revealing clothing and had sky blue earrings on her ears. She was another member of Loki Familia. Tione Hiryute.
After Tione words, all others also nodded.
Loki: Ok. Then that's it for today. Dismiss.
Everyone nodded and moved towards the door. Just as they about to open the door, they all heard a song and stopped.
???: What a beautiful song.
???: Yes. Yes.
These voices belonged to two girls. One is human. She was considered a very beautiful woman with long golden hair, gold eyes, and a slender body. She was wearing a white one-piece dress with gold lining.
Other was an Elf. She had long golden yellow hair, round dark blue eyes, and pointy ears. She was wearing a rosette pink cape on top of a white shirt and pink corset dress. A purple bow hung at the collar.
They both were Ais Wallenstein and Lefiya Viridis. After that no one said anything and just stayed at the place they were standing and enjoyed the song. Then, the song ends. Everyone came out of their daze.
Before anyone could said anything, one of the energetic girls started to jump around.
???: Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
She has medium length black hair and brown eyes. Like all Amazonesses, she was also wearing revealing clothing, wearing only a strip of cloth around her chest and a pareo around her waist, and is barefoot. She was another Amazonesses. The younger twin sister of Tione. Tiona Hiryute.
Tiona: Who was it? I have never heard such a beautiful song before in my entire life.
Tione: Stop jumping around Tiona.
Tiona: I don't wanna.
Tione: YOU.
As Tiona was jumping around and Tione was trying to stop her, everyone just ignored these sisters and talked between themselves. Riveria has her hand on her chin and thinking. Finn was the same.
Riveria: I had never heard of such song before. And on top of it I don't think there was anyone in Orario who can sing like this.
Finn: Yes. Otherwise, that person will have been known by everyone in the Orario.
Lefiya: But the song is good, isn't it?
Ais: *smile* Yes. It was beautiful.
Riveria: Well, it does.
Finn: *nod* Can't deny that.
Tiona: I WANT TO MEET HIM.
Tione: Calm down, Tiona. It's night everyone is sleeping. Your shout will wake them up.
Tiona: But aren't everyone already awake. I can tell.
Tione: T-That's true. But still.
Everyone started to talk about the song they just heard and praising it. They all wanted to meet the person who can sing like this.
Loki: Well, it's true that the song was good. But none of you understand the hidden meaning about what the singer trying to tell.
SILENCE.
Everyone stopped talking and turn to Loki. They can see a smile on her face different then from her smile that she will put all the time.
Riveria: What do you mean, Lady Loki.
Loki: This the first time something like this happens. And I can guarantee that we are not the only one who heard him. No, he wants everyone to heard him.
After saying that Loki looked at everyone in the room. Still, no one understand what Loki means. But Riveria and Finn expressions started to change. They finally understand what Loki means. Loki just smiled and continue.
Loki: He is telling everyone in Orario that "I have Arrived."
