At this time, the three of them had the same thought in their hearts.
That was...
Takumi is far too generous!
What a tycoon! Let's be friends!
"Show me."
Riveria could not help but frown when she saw the three people's reactions and quickly grabbed the list.
After seeing it, she was also shocked.
"This is too much, Takumi. You do not have to do this."
She quickly tried to persuade Takumi not to give so much.
In her opinion, the value of those fortified ingredients was seriously beyond standard. It was just compensation for converting, and it definitely should not cost so much.
Finn and Gareth, after hearing her words, could not help but look at each other helplessly.
It felt like Riveria was completely hopeless; her heart had already turned toward her new home.
"Too much? It is not much at all! Just do it like this, I agree!"
When Loki saw this, she was so angry that she could not help but gnash her teeth. She immediately agreed.
Not for anything else, but simply to bleed Takumi dry.
Looking at Riveria's attitude, she also understood that what was happening now had become a foregone conclusion, and it was useless for her to object.
So it was better to take the opportunity to fleece Takumi as compensation and let him have a good heartache, which could be regarded as revenge.
"Then, it is settled."
Takumi glanced at Loki and probably guessed what she was thinking.
However, he did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he quickly finalized the matter.
Seeing that Takumi agreed so happily, Loki could not help but be stunned, and then she became depressed again. Damn it! It must have been too little!
But she had already agreed. Instead of making trouble again, she went to the corner alone to draw circles and curse Takumi.
"Takumi..."
Riveria wanted to say something else, but Takumi grabbed her small hand and intertwined their fingers.
Takumi looked at her seriously: "Believe me, you are worth all of this."
"...Um."
What else could Riveria say? She agreed sweetly in her heart and stopped talking.
Finn and Gareth opposite them were unexpectedly stuffed with mouthfuls of public displays of affection, and they could not help but feel a little agitated for a moment. They started to feel resentful.
Can you please stop showing affection in front of singles!
Singles also have human rights, bastard!
"So, now that Lord Loki has agreed, should we discuss specific matters, Captain Finn?"
"Um."
Finn nodded and returned to the topic.
The two exchanged some more opinions on the matter, and finally settled the matter smoothly.
Takumi used those two conditions to get the Loki Familia to agree to release her, and there was another condition.
That was, she must be allowed to take all of Riveria's things.
Not to mention her personal property, more importantly, Riveria's house of magic-related books.
These were all Riveria's treasures. It was impossible not to take them away, and she herself would not agree.
But the ownership of these books was actually very problematic in itself.
Because many of them were collected through the Loki Familia's channels.
Over time, it became clear that some of the things she did not actually pay for did not belong to her personally, but belonged to the Loki Familia as a whole.
Originally, it did not matter while Riveria was still in the Loki Familia. After all, she was the only one who understood these things, so she was allowed to hold and keep them.
But now that Riveria was leaving the Loki Familia, the account had to be settled.
Takumi did not want to go to such trouble, so he simply asked for these books to be handed over to her; they were all used as a dowry for Riveria.
Finn just hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Anyway, compared to Takumi's betrothal gift, the value of these books was nothing. It was better to regard it as a blessing and give them to Riveria.
After that, Takumi left alone again, went back to the Dimensional City, and brought everything on the list.
After testing the authenticity of the enhanced ingredients, Loki, as promised, reluctantly went through the conversion procedures for Riveria.
In the evening, a banquet was held in the Twilight Pavilion, which was regarded as Riveria's wedding ceremony.
Takumi also stayed and attended the banquet, sitting down with Riveria.
The other members of Loki's family came to the banquet with confused expressions, not knowing what had happened.
As soon as the banquet started, Finn stood up and announced the news of Riveria's marriage.
"Although I am reluctant to part with her, she has the right to pursue her own happiness. As a family member, I would like to express my best wishes to Riveria on my own behalf."
With Finn taking the lead, everyone else who was still in shock also stood up and raised their glasses to express their blessings to Riveria.
Then, many people focused on Takumi.
Although Riveria maintained such majesty that she had no suitors within the familia, and even if there were any, they would have given up long ago.
But many people were still unhappy with Takumi, who had stolen Riveria away.
After all, this was everyone's mother figure!
Someone suddenly appears and wants to be your stepfather. Anyone would be unhappy with this!
However, due to the atmosphere of the banquet and the presence of Riveria, it was difficult for them to get angry. They could only come over to propose a toast to Takumi with hidden intentions.
They planned to get Takumi drunk and make him make a fool of himself.
Takumi could not refuse, so after happily accepting a few glasses of wine, he also discovered something was wrong.
It was just that their intentions were too obvious.
After toasting, one person even went back to queue up in the back blatantly!
Looking at the longer and longer queue, Takumi could not help but feel a little amused. Want to get him drunk? Not in a hundred days.
It might have been possible before, but after he exchanged for god-level winemaking skills, it was simply impossible.
Takumi now had hundreds of ways to secretly relieve hangovers without anyone noticing.
This is what you guys started, so you cannot blame me.
So Takumi accepted all the toasts from everyone who came, and finally even grabbed one of them and found various reasons to make them drink hard. When the first toaster fell, they did not feel anything; they thought that guy was just weak.
The second one fell, and they thought Takumi had some stamina.
But when people fell one after another, they realized something was wrong.
Looking at Takumi, they could not help but feel timid.
What was more, some quickly and quietly left the queue, fearing that Takumi would catch them if they were unlucky.
"Takumi, that is enough. Just let them go. You really are something, why are you messing around with them?"
In the end, Riveria could not stand it any longer and quickly pulled Takumi back to sit down, ending the farce.
Takumi shrugged: "I was just playing with them; they were the ones who made the first move."
Seeing this, those people glanced at Riveria gratefully, then hurriedly went back and sat down to eat obediently, not daring to make any more small moves.
Here, Tiona was also waiting with her sister Tione and Aiz. Several girls came over.
Tiona came up and put her arm around Takumi, smiling and saying: "Okay, little brother Takumi, you managed to hug the beauty so quickly. You really are fast to act."
"I try." Takumi also smiled and felt a little proud.
"By the way, can you tell me quietly? How did you do it? Also, who was chasing whom?"
Tione surprisingly did not scold her sister, but looked over curiously.
"This is..."
Takumi glanced at Riveria and saw that she was talking to Aiz and Lefiya.
Only then did he feel safe enough to reveal some small details to Tiona.
For example, it was Riveria who started teasing him first.
But it was only such a small detail, and Takumi did not say more.
But this was enough for the Amazon sisters to think about, whispering that they had uncovered some big gossip.
...
Riveria on the other side was also giving Aiz some instructions.
The main reason was that she was afraid that in the future, when she was no longer around, Aiz would act recklessly if no one was there to control her.
But Riveria was not particularly worried about this.
Because the batch of fortified ingredients Takumi gave as a betrothal gift was enough for Aiz to eat for a long time.
Well, this was the result of her discussion with Finn.
A quarter of the ingredients would be given to Aiz to help Aiz become stronger.
At the same time, I also hope that this can make her become more stable.
However, both of them believed that Aiz would definitely not take risks again.
After all, she just hoped that she could become stronger, and she did not actually enjoy seeking death.
Now that she had a stable way to become stronger, she would no longer cause trouble, and at least she would be calm for a while.
"Aiz, we have found a way to make you stronger. As long as you behave from now on and do not act recklessly, we will give it to you."
"So, after I leave, you have to remember my words and stop being so impatient, you know? If something happens to you next time, I may not be able to save you."
Riveria warned her tirelessly, and Aiz listened patiently and carefully.
"I see." Aiz nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Riveria let Aiz go.
She knew that the child had listened and would work hard to abide by it. This was enough.
Then Riveria pulled Lefiya over and gave her serious instructions.
The main purpose was to ask Lefiya to work hard to practice magic and overcome her psychological barriers.
After all, after she left, the Loki Familia team would be missing a major magical attacker in the back row, which has a great impact on the overall strength of the team and needs to be replenished as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Lefiya was the successor she had trained, so they did not have to rush to find and re-train someone new.
The only problem was that Lefiya was not mature enough yet.
Her magical strength was barely enough, but her psychological state and combat experience were still too immature.
But now that the matter was over, Lefiya could only be allowed to take the lead, and other aspects could be slowly cultivated.
"Lefiya, I will leave it to you from now on, so work hard."
"Well, I will definitely try my best not to disappoint you! Just leave it to me!"
Although Lefiya was not very confident, when she heard that she was asked to help take care of Aiz, she immediately cheered up and quickly gave her promise.
Her whole body was as if she had been injected with adrenaline.
For Riveria, she just smiled and said nothing more.
After the banquet, Takumi also stayed and spent one last night with Riveria in the Loki Familia.
Early the next morning,
Finn asked a few people for help to pack her things, and Riveria officially left the Loki Familia and changed her affiliation to the Hestia Familia.
At the same time, once the news came out, the entire Orario was shocked.
Everyone wanted to know the reason.
Finn announced to the public that this was Riveria's own choice.
He also announced her relationship with Takumi, as well as Takumi's payment of a huge betrothal gift and other matters.
But the specific price paid, he did not tell them all, but only said that one part was related to the improvement of the efficiency of expeditions.
All major families speculated on the price Takumi paid.
At the same time, this matter also became a topic of great interest in Orario.
For example: Takumi spends a lot of money, and lovers will eventually get married. This attracted the envy of many people.
Men were envious that Takumi had embraced a beautiful woman and won the person recognized by almost all of Orario as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Women were envious of Riveria, who could be favored by such an outstanding man as Takumi, and that he even wanted to marry her at such a high price.
But no matter how much uproar the outside world made, it was none of Takumi's business.
He took Riveria back to the headquarters of the Hestia Familia and gave her the falna again.
"How is this happening? Takumi, how can you do this? Could it be that you are actually a god?" Riveria was stunned and looked at Takumi blankly.
She did not expect Takumi to be able to grant favors. For a moment, she thought Takumi was actually a god.
Takumi shook his head and said with a smile: "I am not a god. I know you are confused now, but I will explain it clearly to you next."
"All right."
Seeing this, Riveria temporarily suppressed the questions in her heart.
Seeing this, Takumi opened the dimensional door and took her to the Dimensional City.
"Welcome to my real home; you can call it Dimensional City."
Then he started to explain to Riveria, from the dimensional gate to things about Hestia, the Dimensional City, and more.
Riveria was completely stunned after listening to it.
She was silent for a long time. Then she said: "Actually, you are not from our world? And Goddess Hestia is still your woman now? How many other women do you have?"
Takumi could not help but feel a little ashamed when he saw Riveria getting more and more off-topic.
"Is your focus wrong? Should you not be surprised about the Dimensional City?" Riveria rolled her eyes: "I am surprised by these things. Can anything change?"
Now that the matter had come to this, what else could she say?
And after establishing the relationship long ago, she had already decided to be with Takumi for the rest of her life.
No matter how Takumi's identity changed, it was actually the same to her. She did not care about that.
"Uh... I really do not know how to handle this."
"That is okay. Instead of worrying about those things, it is better to explain your situation clearly first." Riveria looked at Takumi with a slightly dangerous gaze: "Do you not have anything to explain?"
"Well..."
Takumi suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said quickly: "I did not mean to hide it from you. It was mainly to be wary of other gods in Orario."
"You should also know what those guys are like. If I let them know this secret of mine, I am afraid it would be difficult for me to move forward in Orario, and Hestia would also be implicated, so..."
Riveria nodded, indicating that she understood.
Just when Takumi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her suddenly ask: "So, how many are there?"
"..."
Seeing her attitude of vowing to get clear answers, Takumi had no choice but to raise his palm.
"Five?"
Riveria raised her eyebrows, which was a little unexpected.
It was not that she felt it was too many, but that it was too few. After all, she had experienced how powerful Takumi was in boxing. Even if he said that he had more than a dozen boxing partners, she would not even be surprised.
But what she did not expect was that there were only five so far, which was much lower than her expectation.
Takumi nodded and added: "Actually, the last three were only confirmed recently. Originally, it was only Hestia."
"Well, this is a credit to the goddess."
Riveria could not help but be a little in awe of Hestia.
Being able to handle Takumi alone for so long, she is truly worthy of being a god!
"So, this is what she supports, right?"
"Yes."
"Where is she? Take me to meet her."
"All right."
Then he took Riveria to find Hestia, who was supervising the work at the city lord's palace.
"Takumi, you are back."
Hestia was greeting Takumi, and then she saw Riveria. She could not help but look at Takumi with some surprise: "Did you really bring her over?" Hearing this, Riveria also looked toward Takumi.
"Well, she came to see you for something. You two talk first, I will go see if there is anything I can help with."
When Takumi saw this, he quickly ran away without looking back.
He really did not want to continue facing Riveria's questioning, which was very embarrassing.
At the same time, he also decided that he must tell the girls in advance next time to be clear, so as not to be so embarrassed again.
The two women here ignored Takumi's behavior of running away and looked at each other.
"Riveria, right? Welcome to the big family of Dimensional City."
In the end, it was Hestia who spoke first and welcomed Riveria.
