Putting his white fan over his face, Kisuke greeted the group whose looking at them, "Good evening, Loki-sama, and everyone from the Loki Familia~. Fancy meeting you here~."

Loki put down her drink on the table and smiled while slightly opening her eyes, "It's really a fancy meeting you here~. A celebration for recovery I presume?"

Before Kisuke could answer her, however, a certain individual came running to them and grabbed Sona's hand, "Sona-san, Aika-san, Shirone-san! You're alright! Thank goodness! I came to where you're staying, but nobody's around."

Sona didn't mind her actions and just smiled brightly at her, "We got treated somewhere else. Thank you for your concerns."

Tipping his hat, Kisuke stated, "It's thanks to the Loki Familia~. I heard it from our Guild Adviser~. I wonder how I could thank you."

Loki rested her elbow on the table and invited the group, "For starters, why don't you join us since both of us are celebrating. The more the merrier, right~. But that shorty over there... You can just leave it behind the counter."

"Hmmph! And here I thought you're seeing your imaginary boobs that you can't see me!" Hestia immediately retaliated.

Loki immediately stood up after hearing that and looked down on Hestia, "Huuh???! If you aren't such a shorty and irrelevant, do you think I'll miss you down there?"

"Hahhh!!! I'm really short compared to you! So tall and straight! Even if I'm directly below you, I'm confident that I'll be able to see your nose hair!"

While glaring at each other, a white fan suddenly went in between their faces and Kisuke's voice came from their side, "Alright~. That's enough of your besties greetings~! We're here to celebrate~. And Loki-sama, thank you for your offer~. We'll take upon it."

" "Who're the besties!!!?" " Both of them retorted before going back to glaring at each other.

Ignoring them, "Syr-san, menu please~!" Kisuke called out to the waitress that is sitting beside a white-haired kid. Ever since Kisuke and Yoruichi entered the pub, both of them noticed the kid and thought, 'Such a pure soul.'

Kisuke in addition also noticed something familiar, 'That aura... It reminds me of Kurosaki-kun and Issei-kun... With all of this coincidence... Could it be...?'

The two cat-person waitresses arranged the additional tables and chairs beside the partying Loki Familia and Syr came running with the menu on hand, "Good evening, Kisuke-san. I assume you brought something new?" Her eyes are on the wooden jar that Kisuke brought inside.

Kisuke sat down and nodded before facing Mia's direction who's already giving her a glare, "I prepared everyone's share~!"

It was then, Mia smiled slightly and continued her work but he can tell that she paying attention at him, 'Well, that's to be expected. Our group got invited by Loki Familia for the second time. And this time, the Loki Familia is obviously observing our group.'

Kisuke ignored the stares that are the executives of the Loki Familia are giving him and put his attention to the trio who hasn't sat down after talking with Line, "We saw an acquaintance, so we'll greet him first."

The three then walked towards the white-haired Adventurer that caught Kisuke and Yoruichi's attention.

"Cranel-san, good evening. It's nice to see here, but..." Sona looked around but couldn't find the person she's searching for, "Is Miach-sama and Naaza-san with you?"

Bell Cranel, a young teenager with white hair and red eyes, often compared to a rabbit based on his appearance is the newest and only other member of the Miach Familia aside from Naaza Erisuis where they always buy their potions.

Bell is staring at the Loki Familia that he didn't notice the trio coming up to him and was startled, "Y-yes!? Ah, Sona-san, Aika-san, Shirone-san! You're here. About that, Naaza-san said that she and Miach-sama have a dinner date so I'm here after being invited by Syr-san."

"Ah, is that so? Then please enjoy yourself. We have to get going. I don't know when will our captain be attacked by those hungry 'wolves'." Nodding slightly, Sona turned around and left.

"You should find a companion when you come to places like this... Well, being alone is fine too. Anyways, enjoy your evening~." Aika added before following Sona while Koneko only nodded at him before following the two.

Bell curiously followed them with his eyes and was shocked when they sat among the Loki Familia members. He then saw a man with a bucket hat looking at him. The man smiled and nodded at him in the form of greeting before turning around to face the Loki Familia, 'Is that their captain?'

Kisuke finally faced the Finn, Gareth, Riveria, Ais, and Lefiya who's intensely looking at him while Bete, Tiona, and Tione are looking at the trio.

Smiling wryly, Kisuke voiced out his 'concerns', "Please stop staring at me like that~. The poor me will become weak-kneed if the top Adventurers of Orario continue to give me so much attention~."

Still not cutting his stare, Finn replied, "But you don't seem scared at all to me." Riveria already told Finn, Gareth, and Ais that Kisuke might be the mysterious man he is referring to. However, they couldn't easily believe it as the man just arrived not long ago with his companions in Orario and just a level 1 who claims to be on the verge of a level up after a quick investigation regarding him. But the reason Lefiya is staring at Kisuke is that Ais is giving him an uncanny interest which also interested her... in a bad way.

Without changing his expression, Kisuke replied, "Aside from being an Adventurer, I'm also a businessman and one of the basic skills of a good businessman is to keep their fake composure. If I can deceive you with my bluff, then I'm doing a good job." His companions, however, only gave him a blank look. Far from being a good businessman, this always in red merchant still has a gal to pat himself at the back. That's not fake composure but just plain shamelessness.

Feeling the stares from the girls, Kisuke feigned a cough and continued, "Ehem... First of all, I thank the Loki Familia for saving our members. If you need anything, please tell me. The destitute me will find a way to fulfill it."

Finn chuckled, "It's fine. It's also our duty to save the lower level Adventurers if they're in danger and we come across them. However, my comrade here indeed has something to ask, but let's set aside that for later as we're here to dine and drink."

Kisuke nodded at him and started ordering food. After getting his orders, Syr asked, "Should I bring some ice and empty glasses?"

Before answering her, Kisuke faced everyone, "Does any of you want some fruit drinks? Non-alcoholic."

While most of them shook their heads and thank him for his offer, Riveria and Ais became interested as someone who doesn't drink alcohol, "Could I have some? For Ais and Lefiya too, if possible."

"No problem~!" Kisuke then faced Syr, "Just the glasses. We don't need the ice."

"Got it. Ten extra glasses." She then went to the kitchen with hurried steps.

"Make it eleven." Kisuke didn't forget about Line.

"Alright."

"Kisuke-kun." While waiting for their food, Finn suddenly called out.

"Hmm?"

"If you don't mind me asking, how did you cure those girls? I heard you pulled them out of the Guild clinic."

"Oh, about that, I'm a bit of a doctor myself and I got a much-needed Elixir from an acquaintance." Kisuke then pulled out an empty vial of Elixir which Gareth, who gave him the Elixir, instantly recognized.

"An acquaintance... I see..." Finn glanced at Loki and got her signal that he isn't lying.
