Kevin's words made the Loki clan members who passed by slow down their pace.
"Ais, do you know this boy?"
The white-haired werewolf youth with a lightning tattoo on his face asked lazily.
Behind him, a swordsman girl wearing pale blue light armor, with blonde hair and golden eyes, shook her head slightly.
"I don't seem to know him."
"But... 'Molten Fire Festival', I am very interested."
Ess Wallenstein.
A human girl who was given the title of "Sword Princess" by the gods and belongs to Loki's family.
It is said that she has some fairy blood, so her beauty is not inferior to that of goddesses.
In addition, she is also known as the strongest female swordsman in the labyrinth city of Orario.
A household name among adventurers, a celebrity-level existence—
Although she herself never cared about such things.
"Don't waste too much time."
"This 'expedition' took quite some time, and everyone is anxious to get back and rest."
The voice of Captain Finn came from the front.
Because of the height of the dwarfs, you can only hear their voices but not see them.
Ais nodded slightly and walked towards Kevin.
"Are you a member of Hephaestus's Familia?"
Although the words were questionable, there was no doubt in the tone.
As perceptive as Sword Princess is, she has already discovered the clan emblem on Kevin's chest.
Adventurers, especially melee adventurers, will come into contact with the followers of the Goddess of Forge.
And for some reasons, Ais often deals with Hephaestus's family.
"That's right."
Kevin smiled and admitted his identity.
My first contact with Sword Lady went unexpectedly smoothly.
He was actually just trying it out, and even if the other party didn't respond, he wouldn't lose anything.
Now it seems that Ais does not have the arrogance or overbearing nature of a high-level adventurer.
Outside of combat, she is no different from an ordinary girl, except that she is a little silly...
Of course, this was a judgment made based on Kevin's understanding of her character.
"Ms. Ais has just returned from the dungeon expedition, so she may not know about the Molten Fire Festival yet."
After organizing his words, Kevin said to the blonde girl in front of him.
"Um."
Aisi nodded calmly.
An "Expedition" is a lengthy campaign into the depths of a dungeon.
Usually, it is necessary to gather dozens or hundreds of adventurers from the entire clan or even multiple clans.
Carry a large amount of supplies and gear to explore and fight in the depths of more than 30 floors of the dungeon.
This "expedition" lasted for dozens of days.
Ais, who had just returned from the dungeon, naturally couldn't be the first to know about the Molten Fire Festival held by Hephaestus's family.
Because the Molten Fire Festival is an internal activity of the clan.
Although outsiders are not prohibited from participating, a family member is required to serve as a guarantor.
This is also the purpose of Kevin's invitation.
"If Miss Aisi is interested in the Molten Fire Festival, you can use my recommendation."
"Hmm…"
The blonde swordsman girl looked thoughtful.
Perhaps she remembered the captain's order: "Don't waste time."
She agreed quickly.
"Thank you, thank you for your trouble."
Seeing that Ais agreed, Kevin's face also showed some joy.
I didn't expect that I could close the gap with this "Sword Princess" so easily.
"You're welcome, because my work will also be included in this festival."
"If I can get the support of Miss Sword Princess, I will definitely get good reviews."
"Are you a blacksmith too?"
"I guess so."
After a pause, Kevin added meaningfully.
"But my forging method is a little different from other craftsmen."
TerraTech, boy!
These words finally made Ais curious about Kevin.
The reason why she wanted to visit the Molten Festival was because she wanted to see if there were any suitable backup weapons.
Although her fighting ability was very strong, the weapons in her hands were often damaged.
Because Aisi possessed a very special [Skill]—the Revenge Princess!
This skill allowed Aisi to increase her attack significantly when fighting against "monster" type enemies.
And it was further strengthened when facing "Dragon" monsters!
Even the gods were amazed by this skill, calling it one of the most powerful offensive skills in the history of the Netherworld.
However, due to this, most weapons could not withstand the load of this skill and were easily damaged.
Even a magic sword worth tens of millions of faris and possessing the property of "indestructibility" could be damaged.
Because of this incident, Ais, as a Lv5 adventurer, had a lot of debts.
Almost every "expedition" required a replacement of a spare weapon.
"I'll be having dinner at the 'Hostes of Plenty' these days."
"You can come find me before the festival starts."
After thinking for a while, Aisi asked the boy in front of her.
"What's your name?"
"Kevin."
Using the pronunciation of the common language, Kevin spelled out his name.
"Yeah... I remember it."
Aisi's expression did not change much. After saying goodbye, she returned to her clan's expedition team.
Seeing her come back, the wheat-skinned Amazon sisters quickly surrounded her and asked about Kevin with great curiosity.
"That boy just now looked pretty good. I really want to eat him up in one bite. Is he an acquaintance of yours, Aisi-chan?"
"I didn't know him before this."
"So he took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Tsk, tsk, tsk, these new adventurers are really bold."
"That's right. He looks like a Level 1 novice, but he dares to flirt with our Sword Princess."
"Just this courage alone is much stronger than that of a guy with wolf ears..."
"Shut up, what does it have to do with me?"
Bert, who was inexplicably criticized by the Amazon sisters, glared at them.
Afterwards, the expedition group of Loki's family left the sight amid laughter and joy.
After the maze became completely quiet, Kevin also patted Lily's head.
"We should go back too."
