Multiverse: In DanMachi, I'm the Strongest Summoner

"Alright, everyone, please have a seat over here."

Under Syr's warm guidance, they gathered around a freshly cleaned dining table.

It was a six-person table.

Mikoto sat beside Raven Eltharion, while Daphne and Cassandra sat across from them.

"Mama Mia, bring us one of everything on the menu! And some fruit wine and ale too!"

Raven called out loudly.

"Got it!"

Came Mia's hearty voice from the kitchen, where she was busy stir-frying.

"Then, Mr. Raven, I'll get back to work for now~~ I'll come keep you company again later."

"Sure, go ahead."

Smiling gently, Syr picked up her tray and went back to her tasks.

Raven turned to the others and said,

"Tomorrow around ten o'clock, let's gather at the central plaza."

"We'll be heading into the lower floors together."

"O-okay," Cassandra responded meekly.

"The lower floors, directly?"

Mikoto, who had never even set foot in the middle floors, suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure.

"Yeah. Let's tackle it floor by floor. That way, I won't need to use my teleportation magic."

"But don't worry."

"With my barrier magic active, you'll feel completely safe. I guarantee your lives won't be at risk."

"Captain Raven, what's the deepest floor you've reached so far?"

Daphne looked at him with a curious gaze.

"The 37th floor," Raven replied casually.

"Alone…?"

"You reached the deep floors on your own?"

Mikoto was visibly shocked, her eyes widening significantly.

Cassandra also gave him a stunned look.

Raven didn't answer, but a faint, teasing smile curved at the corner of his lips.

Just then—

"Meow! It's that boy again!"

Chloe, carrying dishes from the kitchen, suddenly lit up upon spotting him.

"What, you've got your eyes on him too?"

Lunoire gave her a strange look.

"Cat… Cat can't help but get excited seeing that firm, round little butt of his in those tight pants, meow…"

"Every time Cat fantasizes about the juicy fruit hidden beneath that thin fabric…"

"…the lewd desire makes Cat feel all hot and bothered…"

"Cat just wants… wants to taste it, meow…"

Chloe's expression grew more perverted the more she spoke.

"You wanna eat his butt?"

Lunoire was stunned.

"No, Cat wants to lick it, kiss it, grope it… huff—huff—"

"OW! Sorry, Syr…"

Syr, who had approached silently, smacked Chloe on the head with her tray.

"Hey, you silly girls! Get back to work!"

Mia's booming voice rang from the kitchen.

"The customers are still waiting for their food!"

Startled, Chloe and Lunoire scrambled back to their duties.

"Seriously…"

Syr let out a sigh of relief.

…

"…Raven, Miss Mikoto."

"Your food is here, meow."

Ryuu, with an awkward expression, and the cheerful Anya brought over the dishes all at once.

Soon after, Syr also brought over the fruit wine and ale.

The bar was quite crowded now, and the staff had no time to sit and drink leisurely with Raven like before.

"Alright, let's toast together!"

Raven raised his glass with a broad grin.

Mikoto, Daphne, and Cassandra also lifted their glasses filled with fruit wine.

Clink!

The four glasses rang with a crisp clink as they touched.

"On behalf of the Hestia Familia, I welcome you to the team."

"Drink this, and from today, we're family."

With that said, Raven downed his ale in one gulp.

"Mhm."

Mikoto's eyes shimmered with contentment.

"With our captain leading us, this Familia will definitely prosper."

Daphne nodded with satisfaction.

"Captain…"

Cassandra's heart began to waver as her gaze turned toward him, filled with trust.

Then, each of them took a sip.

"Alright, let's eat."

Raven picked up his chopsticks first, taking a bite of a juicy medium-rare steak.

While they were eating—

A large group of over a dozen adventurers entered the tavern.

"Mama Mia, we're here!"

They were a mixed group of various races, and had reserved several tables in advance.

"Welcome, meow!"

"Everyone, please follow me this way, meow~~"

Anya and Chloe led them to the reserved seats—conveniently close to where Raven was sitting.

However…

Raven, with his back to them, didn't even bother to turn around or acknowledge their presence.

Then—

A stunning elf with long, emerald hair as radiant as jewels, and breathtaking beauty, stopped right behind Raven.

She spoke in a voice that was elegant and serene:

"…Raven."

In that instant,

Daphne and Cassandra, seated opposite him, froze.

Recognizing the familiar voice, Raven turned slightly.

And then—

His eyes widened sharply, his face showing a hint of shock.

Her figure was delicately sculpted, her features beautiful and refined. Her eyebrows were poised and elegant.

Her distinctive green eyes were clear and radiant, enough to take anyone's breath away.

She was—

Riveria Ljos Alf.

"Raven, I didn't expect to find you here..."

Another familiar voice chimed in—Ais, with her golden hair shimmering like sunlight, greeted him as well.

And not just them.

Almost all the top members of the Loki Familia were present—including the goddess Loki herself.

"…Hey."

"Ooh, now that's one fine-looking babe."

"Idiot, look at the badge."

"…Shit."

Around them, the bar broke into murmurs once again.

People leaned toward each other, whispering like it was some kind of secret meeting.

"That's…"

"…the Familia that slaughters giants."

"It's a gathering of top-tier first-class adventurers."

"Which one's the famous Sword Princess?"

"Must be that blonde beauty, right?"

"Huh? Members of Loki Familia actually know the Heavenly Demon Lord?"

"Isn't that obvious? Right now in Orario, who doesn't know about the Heavenly Demon Lord?"

The murmuring grew like waves across the tavern, filled with fear and awe.

Some even whistled at Ais, the Nine Hell, or other female members of Loki Familia.
