This girl, who was almost a carbon copy of Tiona except for her hair and fate, was Tiona's twin Elder Sister, also a Lv.5 first-tier Adventurer. The two sisters were very famous throughout Orario.
Amazoness sisters Tiona, Tione, Werewolf Bete, and "Sword Princess" Ais—
Ryoji glanced at the girl with golden hair and golden eyes beside him.
These four were the four Lv.5 Adventurers of Loki Familia, undoubtedly among the top tier in Orario.
"I'll say it a few more times, don't block the entrance to the cafeteria." At that moment, a cold voice came from behind the group.
Tione, who was bickering with Tiona, quickly laughed and stepped aside, making way for the three people behind her.
Among those three, standing in the center was precisely the Captain of Loki Familia, Finn, who was only about one meter tall. He wore his signature friendly smile, giving off a calm and wise impression.
However, it was not he who spoke, but an Elf woman beside him.
Her flowing emerald green hair matched her similarly colored eyes, and her tall figure showcased the unique slender beauty of the Elf race. She had delicate, pointed Elf ears, and her fair skin gave off a somewhat translucent feel.
Her body was draped in a jade green silk robe, and her aloof expression accentuated her luxurious and noble aura, making it hard for others to look her in the eye.
Her name was Riveria.
She was a member of the generally very beautiful Elf race and also a member of the royal family of the Elves, currently serving as the Vice-Captain of Loki Familia, one of the few Lv.6 in Orario, known as "Nine Hell."
Ryoji raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of surprise.
If the golden-haired and golden-eyed girl, Ais, could only be compared to a goddess, then this Elf woman, who exuded a strong, noble atmosphere, was even more beautiful than the goddesses themselves.
Ryoji had never seen a woman as beautiful as this Elf in his life.
His childhood cross-dressing didn't count—
Ugh, that wasn't him at all, just a friend of his. How could he possibly be subjected to the whims of a legal loli, being dressed up in various outfits and posed in all sorts of ways?
Impossible!
He was astonished by Riveria's beauty, unaware that everyone else was equally shocked by his handsomeness.
That kind of perfection, as if he had monopolized all of God's favor, was vividly reflected in his body, but everyone who could become a first-tier Adventurer had a strong mind and did not fall into despair.
In fact, the group of girls nearby who were secretly stealing glances at Ryoji already spoke volumes.
Loki's intuition was correct; her Familia was the first to suffer.
"Hahaha, it's lively to see youngsters gathered together!"
Finally, there was a Dwarf.
He was only slightly taller than Finn, but his entire body was built like iron, with a bushy beard covering half of his face. His demeanor was very amiable and hearty, easily winning people's favor.
His name was Gareth, also one of the Lv.6, with the title "Elgarm."
Finn, Riveria, and Gareth.
These were the three Lv.6 Adventurers of Loki Familia, the highest-level executives of the Familia, managing everything about the Familia, and undoubtedly forming an iron triangle.
"Are you the rookie who joined yesterday?"
With the sway of her emerald green hair, Riveria walked into the cafeteria, her slightly cold gaze fixed on Ryoji as she looked him up and down.
"You don't look bad; I look forward to seeing you grow."
The expression in her eyes quickly softened, and that aloof feeling vanished without a trace.
"Wow! Riveria actually gave such a high evaluation to someone she just met; this is quite rare!"
Dwarf Gareth grinned, immediately expressing his surprise.
"Shut up, Dwarf, don't make it sound like I casually point things out to others."
Riveria's expression quickly froze, and she coldly reprimanded her companion, Gareth, whom she had known for decades.
"Hahaha!"
Gareth was completely unfazed, only laughing heartily.
"Elves are a very proud race."
Tiona leaned in closer, adding some knowledge for Ryoji.
"Although they are generally handsome and beautiful, they also usually have a very distorted sense of pride. Some even believe that all other races in the world are unworthy of associating with the proud Elves, thus living in isolation in the forests. Their pride inevitably clashes with the personalities of other races."
"Riveria is different from other Elves; her pride isn't as strong, but she is still a royal member of the Elf race. She often has conflicts with Finn and Gareth, but that's just their way of interacting, and they've been like this for decades."
This was indeed true.
While it might seem at first glance that they were constantly at odds, if this state had persisted for decades, it would instead make one marvel at the strength of their bond.
A relationship that isn't strong wouldn't endure constant conflict.
"However, why does Riveria think so highly of Ryoji?" Tiona muttered to herself.
Having grown up surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women of the Elf race, Riveria should be the least likely to be swayed by a man's charm. She couldn't figure out why Riveria was so fond of Ryoji.
"Captain, come in quickly! I've prepared a special heartwarming breakfast for you!"
"Well, your breakfast really makes me quite uneasy."
Amazoness Elder Sister Tione enthusiastically ushered Finn into the cafeteria, her face blooming like a flower.
Finn, unable to refuse her hospitality, felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead as Tione pushed him toward the dining table.
"My Elder Sister is now crazy about the Captain; she's just a bit faster than me, what's so impressive about that!"
Tiona complained to Ryoji, making a face in the direction Tione had left.
"..."
The golden-haired girl glanced at Ryoji's back, then silently averted her gaze.
Then she looked again, and then looked away.
Riveria caught a glimpse of her, seemingly noticing her little actions, her thin lips slightly pursed, remaining silent, only the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
Before long.
A breakfast with a strong Western style was prepared and brought to the dining table by several members, arranged in order.
Each table had a fixed portion of soup and salad, made with a large amount of fresh vegetables. The main dishes were sandwiches made with cured meat and omelets, providing a rich nutritional value.
"Hey, Ryoji, where are you going after breakfast?"
Tiona, not sitting at the executives' table, actively sat beside Ryoji, promoting herself enthusiastically: "If you want to explore Orario, I can be your guide!"
"No, I'm going to the Dungeon today."
Ryoji shook his head, rejecting Tiona's self-recommendation, then quickly finished his breakfast.
"I'm full; you all take your time eating, I'm leaving first."
