“If there are any others, the only ones that might meet your requirements are Ganesha Familia, Apollo Familia, and Loki Familia.”
Saying this, the half-elf young lady spread the three remaining documents on the table.
“Among them, although Ganesha Familia is an exploration-type Familia, they often maintain the public order of Orario, so they probably don’t have many opportunities to conquer Dungeons.”
“Apollo Familia, their…
well, their reputation might be a bit…
unsavory?”
“And Loki Familia’s recruitment notice is for supporters, not Adventurers, so it might unexpectedly suit you, perhaps?
It’s just that this chief deity has very high standards for supporters…”
Simply put, the remaining three Familias all had some issues, more or less.
Asta looked at the counter top, scanning his gaze over the three documents one by one.
The first one he ruled out was Apollo Familia; he didn’t want to be targeted by or associate with such a perverted deity.
As for Ganesha Familia and Loki Familia, both are famous large exploration-type factions in Orario, ranking second and third in strength among Orario’s Familias, and both are good choices.
However, after hesitating for a third of a second, Asta made a decision in his heart.
“Miss Staff, do you know if Loki Familia has any intention of accepting completely new Adventurers?”
Don’t ask, just know that the early bird catches the worm, and the flower that faces the sun blooms first.
“Eh???”
The half-elf older sister was instantly bewildered, her gaze fixed on Asta in surprise.
“May I ask, sir, do you not have Falna?”
“Yes, this is my first time in Orario.”
“This…
I might not be able to give you a definite answer.”
After all, whether one could join a Familia or not, her words as a mere Guild staff member didn’t count.
Ultimately, it still depended on the will of the Gods.
“Then I want to join the Loki Familia.
Does the staff member have any good suggestions?”
When in doubt, ask.
Asta fully displayed this excellent spirit.
As a free man, unless it was a special circumstance, it was almost impossible for him to meet God Loki.
He could only start from the Guild.
“Hmm…”
Upon hearing this, the half-elf older sister hesitated, squinting at Asta for a while before speaking softly.
“Then, are you willing to take some risks for this?”
“Will I lose my life because of it?”
“That shouldn’t be the case…”
“Then it’s fine, I’m willing.”
“Alright, alright, please fill out this form then.”
Although the situation was completely different from what she had expected, the half-elf older sister still decided to do her best to help Asta.
In Orario, the Adventurers Guild had a principle of providing extra care for new Adventurers.
Because many newcomers who were just starting out knew nothing about the Dungeon and were complete novices.
And if their Guild staff didn’t take better care of these novices, then the annual death toll of Adventurers would likely rise to a terrifying level.
Because of this action, countless Adventurers were immensely grateful to the Guild, and no one would cause trouble inside the Guild.
Those Adventurers crowded at the magic stone exchange window, even if impatient, still queued properly and never disrupted order.
“Hmm, no problem.”
Taking the form, Asta filled out the questions one by one.
It was nothing more than name, age, why he wanted to join the Loki Familia, and whether he had any prior experience joining a Familia.
Asta naturally filled in “none” for this item.
Finally, after submitting the required consultation fee as per regulations, a few more minutes passed, and Asta received a document stamped with the Guild’s seal?
“What is this?”
Looking at the white document in his hand, Asta couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s like an ID, Mr.
Asta~ I just took down the Loki Familia’s recruitment notice for supporters from the Guild and changed it to a completed status.
What you have in your hand is the ID that allows you to visit the Loki Familia~”
With a smile, the half-elf older sister explained to Asta.
Through the form just now, she also learned Asta’s name.
“Uh…
but I wanted to become an Adventurer…
and I’m not a supporter right now?”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way, Mr.
Asta~ This is the only way for a newcomer like you to join the Loki Familia quickly.
This document will allow you to meet God Loki.
Although the method is a bit tricky, the rest is up to you.”
“…I understand.”
Ah, this move, this move is called ‘deceiving the heavens’.
Disguising himself as a supporter wanting to join the Loki Familia, thereby gaining an audience with God Loki.
The next three parts depended on how he performed, and the remaining seven parts were all up to luck.
If he succeeded, everyone would be happy; if he failed, at most he would be kicked out.
And even if this matter was exposed, God Loki was not the type to fuss over such things.
Goodness, Asta exclaimed in admiration.
“Thank you very much, staff member.”
Putting away the document, Asta thanked the half-elf older sister.
“You’re welcome, Mr.
Asta.
I hope the next time I see you, you’ll be coming to the Guild as a new Adventurer.
If you have any questions then, you can always come to me.
Oh, my name is Eina, Eina Tulle.”
It was her indeed…
Asta understood in his heart, but responded politely on the surface.
“Hmm, then I’ll take your auspicious words.”
Taking Lante to bid farewell to Eina, and reuniting with Rethusa, who had already submitted her request, the three waited for Artemis outside the Guild.
“Asta, how was the Familia consultation?”
Finding a flower bed edge in the spacious front yard to sit on, Rethusa put the received commission funds into Asta’s backpack, and at the same time asked.
“It went fairly smoothly, although the method was a bit tricky, I did meet a kind Guild staff member.”
Asta smiled and answered truthfully.
“Huh?
You didn’t get a crush on her just because she was a little warm to you, did you?
No way???”
As Lante spoke, she became disgusted, and her little butt immediately shifted to the side.
“Lante, where did you learn your yin-yang techniques?”
“What are yin-yang techniques?”
“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.”
“You’re so annoying!
You get people’s hopes up and then abandon them, you scumbag!”
So what does this have to do with being a scumbag?
Asta couldn’t quite understand her way of thinking.
Watching the two bicker, Rethusa’s lips curved into a slight smile.
“So which Familia are you planning to join?
You haven’t decided yet, have you?”
Rethusa had nothing to complain about regarding Asta’s inability to join the Artemis Familia, only a slight regret.
As the captain, she was the person in the Familia who understood Goddess Artemis the most.
Although her treatment of Asta was special, it seemed that it hadn’t reached the point of breaking her long-held principles for him.
After all, it had been less than a month since they met.
As for the future…
who could say?
