Chapter 27 - The boy in front of Finn was the same type of person... as him
Looking at the other three people, including Loki, who turned around at the same time, Riveria paused deliberately. Only after the other three showed a hint of anxiety did she curl her lips in a satisfied smile.
"It was Arachnia, Valletta."
After Gareth and Loki's eyes widened and Finn frowned, Riveria added, "Noah still had the upper hand, forcing Valletta to escape covered in wounds."
Now, Loki couldn't sit still anymore and jumped up from the sofa.
"Hey! You didn't mention this before! What's going on?"
Facing the accusations from her own goddess, Riveria pressed back with a hundred times more force. "Because before I could talk to you in private, you dragged the kid into the bedroom like a fiend!"
Looking at the high elf's elegant and heroic face, which now exuded the aura of a demon, Loki's divine aura immediately wilted. "Well, I was just afraid the boy would run away."
Feeling the pleading gaze from his goddess, Finn sighed. "Well, I think we should go meet this new recruit. I heard he took the initiative to prepare dinner tonight, so let's go and taste his cooking."
Finn and the others were just joking at first, but when they came downstairs, they found something unusual. Although the cafeteria was the most spacious room in the Twilight Manor, it still seemed very crowded after accommodating more than forty people at once.
If it were any other time, the cafeteria would be extremely noisy, and one could hear it from a tower away.
However, today, Finn and the others did not hear any noise. No, there was noise, but no one was talking.
This is?
As the saying goes, if a member of the Familia isn't talking, they must be causing trouble. Just as Finn and Riveria were looking at each other in confusion, they both suddenly smelled a strong fragrance in the air, and their eyes widened involuntarily.
"That aroma? Haha, looks like we're in for a treat!"
As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Finn saw that the members, who would normally be making a racket, were all sitting in their seats, eating their food with blissful expressions on their faces. They didn't even notice them coming in. If there was no smell of wine in the air, he would have thought the members had all drunk the Soma Familia's illicit wine.
Fortunately, there were still a few members who were not completely obsessed with the food. After seeing Finn and the other three, they quickly stood up. "Captain! Miss Riveria, Mr. Gareth!"
Well, they didn't say hello to Loki, which showed how little respect this goddess commanded among her children.
Seeing the Familia members eating with flushed faces, coupled with the aroma wafting in the air, Finn felt his own appetite being aroused for the first time in a long time, and he couldn't help swallowing. "Well, you guys go ahead. Don't bother with us."
Scanning the cafeteria, Finn finally spotted the silver-haired boy in front of the kitchen.
Well, that must be him.
At this time, Noah was also looking at the scene in the cafeteria and fell into deep thought.
That's strange. I didn't put any drugs in the food.
Noah had never been interested in power or wealth. If he had to claim a hobby, it would probably be food. But he was not a king who could live in a palace and be served all day, so he couldn't bring a chef with him. He had to learn to cook for himself.
Over time, he had mastered the skill. But the problem was that Noah was very sure that although his cooking skills were good before, they were definitely not this good.
Recalling the cooking process, Noah suddenly noticed something unusual.
Unless you are a professional chef, most people will have moments of "good enough" when it comes to food preparation, heat, and seasoning.
Noah was no exception. But just now while cooking, he seemed to have a natural grasp of all the details. It seemed that as long as he started, he instinctively understood how to do it best.
That feeling... it was like his own swordsmanship.
Well, that has to be it. If this intuition could be applied to learning magic, forging weapons, and even combat...
Wow, doesn't that mean I can be a genius at anything?
The Falna is amazing!
As Noah was imagining the future, he noticed movement in his field of vision. He turned around and met the eyes of a short, blond Pallum. Through the information he had learned, Noah knew that this person was the captain of the Loki Familia, his future captain.
"You must be Noah-kun. I am Finn Deimne, the captain of the Loki Familia. Nice to meet you."
Noah looked at Finn, whose face was filled with a sunny and gentle smile, and took the initiative to bow. "I'm Noah Sifel. It's a pleasure to meet you."
At first glance, Noah was sure that Finn was the "reliable captain" he was looking for.
Now I can finally put my mind at ease.
What Noah didn't know was that Finn was also very moved when he saw him for the first time. Although it wasn't a skill, Finn's right thumb would ache slightly when he sensed danger, which gave him a strong intuition.
Now, although it was not an ominous premonition, Finn was sure at first sight that the boy in front of him was the same type of person... as him.
They are both people who are good at playing tactics!
Well, in that case, can I train him to be captain so I can finally relax? It's been a long time since I had a good fight!
