However.
Heimdall ultimately did not agree to Loki's proposal.
After all, grasping too much leads to grasping nothing.
If it were in the past.
When Heimdall had to run his legs off just to recruit one Familia member.
Faced with the great gift Loki was offering on a platter, he would naturally accept without hesitation.
But now.
Instead of exhausting himself trying to poach other people's members.
It was better to spend his energy on his own children, who possessed infinite potential.
"After all, you also saw."
"My group of little monsters has only just started."
"Just figuring out how to guide their excessive energy onto the right path is already giving me a headache."
"If I added another one..."
Heimdall shook his head.
"I'm afraid I'll die on the Divine Throne before they even grow up."
"What I seek."
"Is merely to take this group of children I've taken a liking to, step by step, and see how high a place they can reach."
"Nothing more."
"Nothing more?"
Hearing this somewhat unexpected answer.
Lefiya was stunned.
Loki's slender eyes, which had originally been flashing with cunning light, now also opened a tiny slit.
"..."
After a long silence.
"Ugh~"
"Fine."
Seeing Heimdall fall silent, Loki slumped onto the sofa like a deflated ball.
Lefiya, who had been sitting beside her with her nerves constantly tense.
Could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.
The small hands that had been tightly gripping her magic wand finally relaxed slightly.
Thank goodness...
Thank goodness he wasn't a terrifying Deity who would actually treat her as bargaining chips.
In fact.
Speaking of which, Lefiya cautiously lifted her gaze to steal a glance at the Black-haired Deity sitting opposite her.
He only wants to take his children to see the scenery from a high place?
Words like that...
Coming from such a handsome Deity.
Were surprisingly somewhat cool.
After all.
Compared to her own main Goddess who only knew how to drink, act like a hooligan, and never seemed serious!
This Black-haired Deity!
Although his reputation among the circle of Gods didn't sound very good.
What he said was exceptionally reliable!!
And just as Lefiya was mentally adding points to Heimdall's first impression.
"Pardon the interruption."
A voice broke the delicate atmosphere.
Indeed.
The tall Elven female clerk who had been managing the service came in.
Holding an exquisite silver tray.
"Pardon the interruption."
"This is the signature Black Coffee and the specially made Fruit Tart that everyone ordered."
The tall Elven female clerk's voice remained cool.
Her movements were elegant and standard.
She placed a steaming cup of coffee and a dessert that looked sickeningly sweet in front of Loki.
"Thanks~"
Loki waved her hand carelessly.
Then.
The tall Elven female clerk, without paying much attention, placed a cup of hot milk and a small biscuit in front of Lefiya.
Finally.
She arrived beside Heimdall.
