Ryoji's crossing over came with a built-in translator, which he had already verified.
Therefore, the reason Loki spoke with a thick northeastern accent might be that she wasn't speaking the common language of this world but some kind of dialect.
Goodness, it's unbearable!
She looks like a graceful goddess, her appearance far surpassing that of ordinary people, but hearing such a heavy northeastern accent pouring out of her is really hard to take.
Even if there was a bit of interest, hearing that accent would instantly kill any attraction.
"Change it!" Ryoji silently thought to himself.
"Finn, what are you talking about? What's this about a rookie?" Loki immediately noticed Ryoji.
At first glance, she was so startled that her squinted eyes widened, thinking she had seen a peer from the mortal world. She quickly grabbed Finn and whispered to him, asking for details.
This time, it was Shanghainese, which was still a bit hard to understand.
"Change it again!"
"What's going on?"
This time, it was the Fuzhou dialect, which was completely unintelligible.
"Change!"
"Such a handsome young man. Why doesn't he dress up a bit? He's already so eye-catching!" Loki stared at Ryoji with a look of envy and jealousy.
This time, it was the Tianjin dialect, and the context was still understandable.
"Change it to the Jiangsu dialect." Ryoji was having fun with it.
Senpai is from Jiangsu, so she should understand it better.
"Hey, little brat! You look so annoying, I must have been out of my mind to let you come here!" Loki glared at Ryoji with a fierce look, her eyes full of wariness.
"...What is she saying?" Ryoji looked at Tiona in confusion.
I was naive; I didn't expect the difference between northern and southern dialects to be so big.
"Don't mind her. Loki may look like a goddess, but inside, she's actually an old man. She's always fondling girls, so she has a lot of opinions about handsome guys." Tiona pouted and explained to him.
"So that's how it is." Ryoji suddenly understood.
At the same time, he switched the translator to standard Japanese in his mind.
The operation of a familia is essentially centered around the interests of the deity.
In this farming game, the deity is undoubtedly the main character.
For example, Demeter, who 'Sang' with Ryoji last night, is actually the Greek goddess of agriculture, Demeter, just under a different translation. Because she's the goddess of agriculture, her familia is an agricultural one, responsible for a significant portion of Orario's food supply, and even the Guild relies heavily on her.
Loki Familia is a standard exploration-type familia, primarily focused on exploring the Dungeon and reaching uncharted territories. However, since the chief god, Loki is a tomboy goddess, more than half of the familia members are beautiful women and girls.
If Ryoji were to join, the harem she painstakingly built, or so she thought, would all become someone else's.
"Is that all? Simple!" Ryoji patted his chest and solemnly vowed, "I promise not to initiate any relationship with any female member of the familia that goes beyond friendship. How's that?"
"Do you need to take the initiative?" Loki looked at him with an expression that said, "Don't think you can fool me."
Goodness, as expected of an evil god, such a small trick can't deceive her.
"Don't be so stubborn at a time like this."
Finn also seemed to be troubled by his chief god's capriciousness and couldn't help but sigh while holding his forehead.
"You know his reputation. Many families want him, and we only have the advantage of speed and fame."
"To maintain the long-term stability and strength of the familia, powerful rookies are essential. Even the once-prosperous Zeus Familia and Hera Familia eventually declined after a thousand years of glory."
It has been a thousand years since the gods descended to the mortal world.
In the past millennium, the strongest familias in Orario were always Zeus Familia and Hera Familia.
But fifteen years ago, due to a sudden upheaval, both of these strongest familias lost their best members, allowing Freya Familia and Loki Familia to rise to the top.
"That's right, that's right! If we don't strive for progress and end up following the same path as those two familias, everything will be over! Loki, your interests will become meaningless too!"
Tiona kept chiming in from the side.
She had finally found a man who was upright, self-respecting, powerful, and handsome; there was no way she would easily give up on him.
"Since even Finn says so, fine, we can let him join the familia. But don't forget your previous promise; humans cannot lie in front of deities!"
Loki muttered a few words under her breath, and after emphasizing several times that Ryoji must not actively seduce any of the familia members, she finally relented and agreed to let Ryoji join.
"Then let's grant you the Blessing(Falna) right here." Finn suggested decisively.
"…Alright." Loki glanced at him, her expression thoughtful, then smiled and agreed.
"Take off your upper garment!"
In the reception room.
Ryoji sat on a stool and removed the upper part of his school uniform, revealing his fair back.
Unlike a month ago, Ryoji had undergone noticeable changes due to training with the legal loli's gravity array; his previous frailness had diminished significantly, and his latissimus dorsi had become much more pronounced.
However, his body still maintained a perfect proportion, with skin, muscles, and organs forming a harmonious whole that made it hard to look away.
"Gu BOOM!"
"…Gu BOOM!"
Tiona stared at Ryoji's body, unable to resist swallowing hard.
Then, she suddenly froze and looked over at Loki, who was sitting behind Ryoji.
The goddess's eyes widened slightly, her squinting gaze unable to hold back, revealing her blood-red pupils as she unconsciously swallowed.
It's over!
Loki is going to turn from gay to straight!
"Loki, what are you doing?" Tiona's expression darkened.
A wave of crisis surged in her heart, making her gaze towards Loki very unfriendly.
"Eh? Ah… I was just admiring the scenery, Tiona! I'm devoted to you!" Loki snapped back to reality, her expression shifting multiple times.
Then she put on a playful grin and teased Tiona.
"Hehe…"
Tiona's lips curled into a smile that lacked any warmth, her expression clearly saying she didn't believe her.
"Cough cough, alright, let's officially begin!"
Shifting Tiona's attention, Loki glanced at Ryoji with a look of surprise, her gaze very subtle, unnoticed by anyone.
This kid might be most suited for Freya Familia, but who knows?
He seems to have yet to discover his natural talent, remaining in a state of a clear pearl covered in dust. Just this alone has already made this goddess slightly dazed. If he were to be trained by Freya, it's unimaginable how terrifying he could become.
However, this is also quite interesting, isn't it?
'Why not let this kid have a try? Let him compete with Freya and see whose charm is more terrifying.' Loki thought to herself with delight.
The heart of the evil god was stirring.
