Chapter 107: No Money? Then Earn It From Whoever Has It!
Regarding the potential "Apollo Familia crisis," Mikoto, who had just transferred Familias, was not yet aware of this issue.
She still resided at her former Familia's home.
Transferring to the "Hestia Familia" was more like an all-around training in swordsmanship and martial arts.
After the expedition ended, she was supposed to rest.
But she ultimately couldn't hold back the thought of swordsmanship training. Knowing the location of the Familia home, the young woman headed over early in the morning.
It was just that when she stood in front of the Familia home, looking at the desolate scene before her.
Mikoto suddenly felt a bit… embarrassed to disturb them. Having followed Liam throughout the Dungeon exploration, she knew very well.
He had shouldered the vast majority of the monster-clearing work. Even the floor lord Goliath…
Was dealt with single-handedly by Liam. After experiencing these activities, a normal adventurer would usually be extremely tired.
They would choose to relax in Orario…
"Should I bring a small gift? Would that be a bit more appropriate?"
After the Familia expedition, the bonus her god, Takemikazuchi, had given her, after deducting weapon repairs, still had a considerable surplus.
Visiting as a Familia member for the first time, Mikoto was inevitably conflicted.
It was just that as she was hesitating, the sound of footsteps from not far behind attracted Mikoto's attention.
Turning her head, it was the supporter Liliruca with short brown hair.
Not carrying a huge supporter's backpack as usual, just wearing a cloak. Above her brown, shoulder-length short hair.
Grew a pair of conspicuous cat ears.
"Good morning."
In terms of strength, she couldn't be considered a new adventurer, but she was a newcomer after all. Mikoto's attitude was calm as she proactively greeted the new member.
Visiting alone, her mood was somewhat apprehensive.
But now, with Lili, who was also a supporter, the young woman's mood suddenly lightened. After a simple greeting.
She followed Lili's footsteps into the basement of the abandoned church.
Looking at Liam, who was already up and washed, wearing a grayish-brown cloak, a brief moment of confusion flashed in the young woman's eyes.
He has already finished his Dungeon exploration, so why is he dressed like this?
"Liam-kun…" Due to her straightforward personality, Yamato Mikoto frowned, unable to hold back her curiosity as she asked about Liam's next move.
A bad thought gradually surfaced in her mind.
Could it be that Liam broke through his adventurer level so quickly, his strength soaring, all because of high-intensity internal competition?
"You're here?"
"The vacation is postponed. For the next 3 days, Dungeon training will be the main focus."
He hadn't confirmed a date with Eina from the Adventurer's Guild yet. Liam really had no other arrangements.
Once the War Game truly began, he was sure the half-elf young lady would understand.
Having completely mastered Liam's exploration habits, Lili, on the contrary, was the calmest. And since it wasn't a Familia expedition.
He only needed to carry some dry rations.
She had even prepared the words "I hope we can spar and exchange pointers on swordsmanship," but now they had to explore the Dungeon again.
It completely disrupted Mikoto's plans. She looked at Liam, "You're not resting?"
"Of course, I need to rest."
"The premise is that there's time left for us to rest."
Hestia didn't come back last night, resting at Hephaestus's house. Liam also didn't notice any adventurers around.
For Mikoto, who had just transferred and joined the Familia.
Regarding matters of the "War Game," they certainly had the right to know.
He suppressed the smile at the corners of his mouth, his face calm without any ripples, as he explained, "There's something quite urgent."
"What do you mean?" A hint of confusion flashed in Mikoto's eyes. After the Familia expedition ended, even if it was compulsory from the Adventurer's Guild.
There wouldn't be any other missions dispatched in a short time.
She was full of curiosity about this "something that is quite urgent."
Standing to the side, Lili, who heard the other meaning in these words, her slightly childish face was covered with gravity.
This scene was exceptionally familiar!
Back at the Soma Familia home, before the plan to leave the Familia was implemented, Liam had shown this same look, seriously discussing matters. But the result was, after returning from the brief departure ceremony…
All the members of the Soma Familia were killed by this guy with overwhelming means. Seeing Liam's expression again.
Lili's mood suddenly became very apprehensive.
He didn't answer Mikoto's question.
Liam lowered his voice slightly and then said, "It's nothing major, I was just thinking that with the Familia's development up to now."
"We can't always have our home base here, right?"
"When our strength allows, of course, I want to improve the environment a bit." He paused slightly here.
"You know, to do these things, it all requires money!"
"Understood."
Now that he had said this much, how could Mikoto not understand? It was because she had transferred into the Familia midway.
The current environmental conditions were a bit poor.
The young woman frowned, her tone earnest, "Liam... Captain, first of all, joining the Hestia Familia, I don't deny."
"I definitely had selfish intentions, wanting to improve in swordsmanship."
"But I don't want my joining to add pressure on you to develop the Familia. And the Familia's conditions and all that."
While saying this, Mikoto was also observing Liam's expression.
Seeing the serious look between his brows gradually turn into a smile, she then said shyly, "I think as long as it's the right person, other external conditions…"
"Can be completely ignored!!"
This came from the bottom of the young woman's heart, the feelings she wanted to express to Liam.
That admiration was actually very complex. It was a scene that would occasionally appear in her mind, when facing the Minotaur.
That was the salvation Liam had brought her!
Whether it could be classified as 'like', Mikoto couldn't quite say, but she didn't want to be a burden to the Familia!
"But the key is some things."
"Are not within our control. I also wanted to quietly enjoy a vacation after the Familia expedition ended."
Liam shrugged his shoulders, not beating around the bush on this matter.
Instead, he chose to be open and honest, "The Apollo Familia, you should have all heard about the reputation behind this Familia, right?"
"."
Lili looked up again, her expression somewhat serious. Having struggled at the bottom of Orario for years, she remembered some rumors.
It was said they would use special means to forcibly recruit adventurers who were unwilling to transfer Familias.
Could it be…
Her eyes seriously sized up Liam. Seeing that he didn't shake his head in denial, then this matter was no different from her guess!
"The Apollo Familia…"
Not being clear about the Apollo Familia's reputation, only knowing it was a very strong group, the completely puzzled Mikoto frowned.
It was hard to connect these two matters.
"Developing the Familia home, what does that have to do with them?"
"Roughly speaking, wanting to rely on normal Dungeon exploration to save enough money to change the Familia home, this goal is very difficult."
"Then this…"
The young woman was still puzzled.
A smile appeared at the corners of Liam's mouth as he looked at the innocent Yamato Mikoto.
He thought for a moment and explained in a roundabout way, "Normally, there's no connection, but their Familia is very abnormal!"
"So there is a connection."
"???"
After all, only an abnormal Familia would, when snatching an adventurer, go so far as to use a War Game.
This matter that had not yet happened, Liam of course chose to keep it a secret.
