Danmachi: Reaper

"Graaaahhhh!"

A Kabold suddenly lunged forward, intending to attack Kelvin with its sharp claws.

It's just that ....

Pu-chi!

Before the Kabold could get close to Kelvin, its vessel was already severed and separated from its body.

A liquid spurted out and soaked the ground below, leaving the Kabold to slowly disappear and leaving behind a Magic Stone that fell to the floor.

"Pretty good. You seem to be quite experienced in fighting monsters. You didn't seem to panic despite being attacked by the Kabold suddenly."

Seeing Kelvin's reaction speed, Riveria seemed to have expected it. But, his calmness in the face of a surprising situation was of course another matter.

And so it was, one Kabold after another that appeared was instantly defeated by Kelvin, until they then encountered another type of Monster on this Floor.

Goblins.

The term Goblin had probably been heard a lot, and there were many descriptions of their race; ugly green monsters, born only as males from birth, which made them have to reproduce by forcibly 'mating' with other races, especially humans.

Kelvin clearly remembered such descriptions of Goblins in many Anime and Games he had played in the past.

However, the Goblins in this world seemed to be different from the previous settings. They were born from the Dungeon, where they were the children of the Dungeon itself.

Not only Goblins, but all the monsters inside the Dungeon were also born by the Dungeon itself. No one knew how and why.

In fact, the Gods refused to tell them and often changed the subject when it came to this matter.

Forgetting this, with the appearance of several Goblins ready to attack them, Riveria quickly looked at Kelvin and told him to prepare.

"Don't let your guard down. Although they're early Monsters, but Goblins will be troublesome if they group up."

As creatures that lived in groups, Goblins might be weak if they were alone. But, if they attacked an Adventurer as a group, it was certain that the Goblins would win the battle.

One of the annoying things about Goblins was their habit of attacking in groups, so Riveria immediately warned Kelvin to be careful and not relax his vigilance.

Hearing Riveria's warning, Kelvin nodded slightly as he raised his dagger to align in front of his chest.

And with three slashes, Kelvin managed to defeat the 2 Goblins charging towards him; one slash instantly decapitated the first Goblin, and the second needed more slashes as Kelvin's attack slightly missed his upper chest.

And just like that, Kelvin naturally eradicated all the monsters on every floor up to the 8th floor, before Riveria decided it was time for them to return to the surface.

Even so, Kelvin slightly wondered, what was Ais' function in going with them, if she was just standing by Riveria's side?

I mean, Riveria was in charge of evaluating Kelvin, assessing his strength when dealing with monsters. But Ais? That girl did almost nothing but stand there silently.

Moreover, Kelvin had barely spoken to the girl since the beginning of their meeting.

"You can directly rest for today, tomorrow you can go to the dungeon to train. If you need anything, you can look for me or other members."

"Mn, I understand."

Kelvin nodded his head at Riveria who walked away from his room. While Ais followed Riveria behind him after she nodded to him.

"What's wrong with her?"

Kelvin stared at Ais' back who was slowly moving away in confusion. In the Anime, Ais was portrayed as a girl who craved power for revenge.

She hardly interacted with others except with Loki, the executive members or the main protagonist; Bell Cranel.

That made Kelvin confused, especially after seeing Ais' initiative to watch him in the dungeon.

'Is she interested in me...?'

If Ais was interested in how she could become strong, Kelvin might be able to understand. Unfortunately, Kelvin wasn't good at reading other people's intentions, moreover Ais had less expression which made it harder to guess.

Kelvin suddenly remembered, if in the anime, Ais was portrayed as someone who sought strength for revenge. Perhaps because she saw Kelvin's potential to be strong very quickly, she was somehow curious about the way Kelvin did it. It was possible that by following that method, she could also become strong quickly.

In the end, Kelvin didn't think about this seriously, today he would immediately take a shower and sleep until night.

It's just that .....

Knock Knock Knock

When he was about to sleep at night, the knocking in his room did not stop-

"Um, Kelvin-san..., are you asleep yet ....?"

-Followed by a male voice from outside his room.

Kelvin sighed, it looked like he wouldn't be able to sleep early tonight.

"No, I'm still up."

Sighing, Kelvin opened the door, seeing a ginger man with spiky black hair and brown eyes standing in front of his bedroom door with an awkward smile on his face.

"Ah, sorry to interrupt. My name is Raul Nord. I was asked by the Captain to call you to the dining room. They said there would be a welcoming party for you there."

Raul smiled as he introduced himself. He assessed the appearance of Kelvin who was standing in front of him.

Earlier, Finn asked him to go to the new member's room to tell him to go to the dining hall, but Finn also said he shouldn't be surprised by the new member's appearance.

Only now that he saw it, Raul understood the reason why Finn had said that to him.

Kelvin was currently dressed in casual clothes, sleeping out of a white short-sleeved T-shirt and black shorts, but he was still wearing his eye patch, which made Raul think if he might be blind.

A hint of pity appeared on Raul's face, but it was quickly replaced by a friendly smile as usual.

"I see. Give me five minutes, I'll be right there."

Kelvin had almost forgotten the Loki Familia's habit of throwing parties all the time, like when there were new members or when they just returned from an expedition.

"A-Ah, sure. Then I'll wait for you."

Raul nodded while scratching the back of his head.

"...Alright."

Kelvin was about to refuse when he saw the look of pity on Raul's face. In the end, he just sighed while nodding his head.

******

"Alright everyone! Let me introduce a new member to you! His name is Kelvin Edelfelt! You can call him Kelvin, starting today he will be one of us! So I ask that you get along well with him, okay!"

In the sizable dining room, Loki raised her hand as she excitedly introduced Kelvin in front of all his Familia members.

"Oh! New member! It's been a while since we had a new member!"

"I thought it would be a woman since Loki is our Goddess."

"But he looks quite handsome doesn't he, despite ...."

"I heard it was Riveria-sama who recommended his!"

"Really?! If so he should be quite talented, huh."

Kelvin, who was sitting next to Loki just waved his hand awkwardly as he saw how enthusiastic the other Loki Familia members were when they saw him.

He turned his gaze around. At this large, long table, Kelvin could see several faces that were familiar to him.

For example, Ais Wallenstein, Finn Deimme, Riveria Ljos Alf, Gareth Landrock, Lefiya Viridis, Bete Loga, and some second string members like Raul Nord and Anakity Autumn.

"Alright, shut up all of you!"

As soon as Loki's voice descended, the crowded room instantly became quiet.

"Since we have a talented member coming today, this party is also being held to welcome him! That's why, you can drink as much as you want!"

Raising her glass, Loki shouted in high spirits.

"""OHHHHHHHHH!!!"""

Everyone raised their glasses in high spirits. To them, this new member should be quite special, especially since Loki Familia had hardly received any new members lately.

In the end, Kelvin had to deal with many people asking him questions and being curious about him. Everyone, that is, except a certain wolf.
