"...So, can anyone explain to me what has just happened?" Lefiya asked as she watched the Courier leave them behind.

"...I think, he just ditched us," Tiona replied as she despaired at the amount of Valis that reforging Urga would cost. "What should we do now?"

"I don't know, but we should tell Loki about it, not to mention there is still this whole debacle regarding that sword," Tione replied.

"Tell me about what exactly?" Loki asked as she came from one of the nearby valleys, gaining the attention of the group. She immediately focused on the elf who looked worse than she last saw her, her eyes opened slightly. "Are you alright, Lefiya? You don't look so hot."

"Um… I am fine, I guess," The elf responded though she winced a little.

"Courier Six gave Lefiya a basic healing potion, but we should still have Amid examine you," Tiona said, while the elf nodded in agreement.

"Courier Six? That metal fella from the pub? What was he doing here?" Loki asked as she looked around.

"He killed the monsters... and fixed my blade," Ais said as she gestured to the plant head not far off from her and at the sword in her hand.

"For forty-five million Valis," Tione added, while Loki whistled.

"It looks like quite a story to tell, how about you get a magic stone from that plant monster thing over there and then tell me and the rest of the Familia about it?" Loki suggested, the group agreeing with her.


An hour or so later, the entirety of Loki Familia gathered at their home base, the Twilight Manor. It was a huge structure built on a small area of land. Multiple tall towers overlapped and supported each other, with the middle one being the tallest. Inside of it, the whole Familia gathered in the dining area, with enough seats for every single member of the group.

"So, let's start from the beginning, tell us exactly what happened?" Loki said while Tione cleared her throat.

"We were walking together, me, Lefiya and Tiona along the street, when suddenly we saw this snake-like thing wreaking havoc upon the city," Tione started.

"So, I and Tione decided to stop it with our fists," Tiona continued. "However, we couldn't put a dent in it. It felt like were hitting a steel wall or something."

"How strong was it?" Finn asked.

"Level three at least, probably level four," Tione responded, while the Pallum bit his lip.

"What happened then, did Ais kill it?" Gareth asked while Ais shook her head.

"No, Courier Six, he… he saved me," Lefiya answered. Internally she was debating how she felt about the whole thing since she would rather have been saved by Ais. Still, it didn't sit well with her being saved and not even being able to thank her saviour properly, although the fact he asked money for it helped mitigate it.

"What a joke, you should have been better than that, you stupid fish food," Bete growled at Lefiya, who shrunk in front of accusation.

"That's enough, Bete. Still, it's quite surprising all things considered," Riveria chided, while others glared at him. The man did not strike her as the kind to willingly put himself in harm's way for others.

"It is," Tione agreed. "However, before he came, the monster somehow sensed Lefiya just as she was about to cast her spell and hit her with a green tentacle, knocking her out of the fight."

The elf winced as she put her hand over her abdomen. Thanks to the potions her wounds were already healed, but the phantom pain remained. "That monster then changed its form. It bloomed, like a flower, but with teeth," Tiona said, while the murmurs began to spread between the members of the group.

"I am assuming this is when Courier Six saved Lefiya, correct?" Riveria asked while the Amazon nodded.

"He jumped right from the roof, landed in front of Lefiya and held back the maw with his own two hands!" Tiona exclaimed. "Not even stopping, when other wines hit him and blood came out of his body." To her, it was like a scene from one of the books she read about heroes. She had always enjoyed reading about them and seeing someone do it in real life made her giddy all inside.

"Ho? That's pretty impressive," Gareth said, thinking just how strong the man was.

"Agreed, but I am assuming he didn't kill the monster on his own?" Finn asked.

"Ais came and killed the monster with a single blow," Tione replied, while the blond nodded.

"What happened then?" Anakitty Autumn asked. She was one of the cat people with black long hair and tail. She was wearing a black and white outfit, along with dark brown boots, her blue eyes focused on the Amazon.

"...The sword broke," Ais said as she gestured at the sword in her hand. "More monsters came."

"How many more came?" Loki asked.

"Three more to be exact," Tione replied. "The Courier then used that massive sword of his and easily cleaved them all in half one by one."

"So, he managed to kill three level-four monsters on his own, correct?" Loki asked while Tione nodded. "Hmm… He can't be lower than level three, probably level four at least. However, I have never heard of his name before at Denatus, so I can't say who is he. Chances are, he is one of the members of currently existing Familias and probably put on a disguise for some reason," Loki explained, while the members of her Familia looked between each other.

"What happened when he killed the monsters?" Gareth asked, curious about the mysterious man.

"Well, he sold us basic healing potion for Lefiya and charged us ten times its value," Tiona replied, Riveria narrowing her eyes at the greed man exhibited. "After that, he fixed Ais' sword with a rolling pin and charge us forty-five million Valis for it."

"What…?" Loki asked, her mouth slightly agape, her eyes opened slightly. Everyone else had a similar reaction as they tried to digest what they had just heard.

"How broken was the sword?" Finn asked, just as surprised as the rest.

"It shattered into more than dozen pieces and only handle remained," Tione explained.

"That's… impossible! There is no way you can do that!" Bete shouted, everyone for once agreeing with him.

"Normally I would agree, but we have all seen it with our own eyes," Tione replied, while Tiona, Lefiya, and Ais nodded.

"He put two weapons next to each other, asked us to look away and in the next second it was fixed!" Tiona exclaimed. "Loki, please, we need to get him to fix our weapons," She pleaded, while the goddess cupped her chin and smiled at her.

"I will see, what I can do," She replied, while Tiona beamed at her.

"Is that all?" Finn asked.

"Well, almost. Before he left, he told us to not to spread the knowledge about his skill and to send Loki a message. He said and I quote, 'How does it feel to have something so valuable in your grasp and yet not be able to claim it?'," She said and ended the story.

Loki blinked at that before she chuckled and smiled at the members of her group. "It seems like our friend is not the most welcoming one. I think we should pay him a visit, don't you think?" She grinned, while everyone either sighed or just smiled at their goddesses.


"Bloody hell, those plant monsters actually managed to hurt me, that sucks," The Courier grumbled to himself as he headed towards the pub.

The armour took the brunt of the damage, its durability still holding past ninety per cent. Some parts got a bit looser and there were a few dents here and there, but overall it was still in remarkably good shape. The reason for that was simple, Raul was kind enough to teach him how to maintain his gear, so it wouldn't lose its edge so soon. It saved him a ton of caps, something he was grateful for. It still didn't explain the quantity of blood that his body released each time an attack managed to break through his defences. It felt like he had a whole bathtub of blood in his body, if not more.

Still, one thing became painfully obvious, he wasn't invincible, not even close. Higher calibre bullets, lasers, plasma, especially of the higher quality could still hurt him, even while wearing armour. However, he didn't expect to be hurt in this world, especially not by some stupid plant thing. One thing he noticed during the fight was the power of the plants. While the smaller vines and fast but weak attacks could not pierce through his damage threshold and damage resistance, the big vine, the same one that knocked out Lefiya at full power dealt about as much damage as the gauss rifle to the chest, after all the reductions.

And after his encounter with the Minotaur, he was pretty sure he knew how powerful the adventurers and monsters would get as they levelled up. This was problematic since he could be forced to use power armour just to survive on the lower floors, that or drugs which he was trying to conserve at all points. Remnant's power armour reinforced with saturnite alloy was incredibly durable. Even a shoot to the head from Anti-Materiel rifle would barely deal any damage to him. However, strolling around in Orario in it was going to bring too much attention to him.

That was a problem, he could kill most people easily enough, even those from Loki Familia, but they could also hurt him, which was a problem. It didn't help that if they were to fight over and over again, they would level up and at one point be able to kill him easily enough. His hatred towards Falna and gods just raised a notch as they would become stronger and stronger, while he was stuck at the same level unless Think Tank was to develop even better implants.

If there was any consolation in this whole situation was his versatility, experience, and pragmatism. He wasn't bound by the same kind of moral codes or chivalry as some tended to be. Not to mention, the power fist to the groin was very efficient at taking care of most human opponents. And that's not counting things such as sniping while being one hundred per cent invisible or just straight out laying mines for his opponents to trigger.

At this rate though, he needed to vent his frustrations on something or someone. Turning towards the Dungeon he went inside to earn some more money, kill a few monsters and think things through. The next few hours were spent hacking monsters one by one until the sun finally set and he made his way back to the Hostess of Fertility.

Just like previous times, it was filled with adventurers, the waitresses going back and forth between the tables. Looking around, he found the one he was looking for, Ryuu and waved at her. She turned towards him, her eyes spreading out slightly before she smiled slightly and let out a sigh of relief.

"Good evening, mister Six. Are you all right? You weren't hurt were you?" She asked as she looked at the armour seeing no blood whatsoever. He learned his lesson after Minotaur caked him in its blood last time. All his armours were now covered in a thin layer of water-repellant substance, which meant that even things like blood and dirt barely stuck to him.

"I am fine, thank you for asking. I trust neither you nor anyone else was hurt, I imagine?" He asked.

"That would be the case, yes," She replied.

"Glad to hear it. Now if you excuse me, I am going to head to my room tonight. I don't feel like eating," He replied. The elf bit her lip in response, but she let him through, sending one last glance towards him, before returning to her work. The Courier didn't waste any more time and fell on his bed, letting his body relax and fall asleep in an instant.


Rays of sunny greeted him, blinding him for a moment before he rolled out of the bed and began stretching himself. His joints popped in protest, feeling a bit out of the loop after yesterday's events. Freya, Plant Monsters, Loki Familia, just to name a few. Why were things always getting complicated, he had no bloody clue.

With a sigh, he made his way downstairs and headed to the bottom floor, nodding at the waitresses and the owner in the process. "Good morning."

"Morning, how you feeling there?" Mia asked with a grin, while he shrugged.

"Not so bad, thank you for asking," He replied and sat at one of the free tables.

This time it was Ryuu who brought him breakfast. "Here you go, Mister Six."

"Thank you kindly, miss Lion," He said, while the elf nodded, before she got back to work, glancing at him as she left. This time the breakfast consisted of cereals with honey, some fruits, pancakes. It was relatively light, but still full of nutrition.

Once he was finished, he gathered the empty utensils and handed over the plates to Anya, before putting on his helmet and heading towards the entrance. "I am heading out," He said, while everyone turned towards.

"Have a safe trip!" The waitresses said, while Mia just nodded at him.

"So, did you enjoy yourselves on your date, yesterday?" Chloe teased as she turned towards Ryuu, making sure the Courier wasn't in the vicinity.

"It wasn't a date," She denied, though she seemed a bit embarrassed.

"Really, nya? No date, then what was it, nya?" Anya asked.

"An outing," She replied.

"You should really be more assertive, Ryuu. If you keep being passive, somebody else will scoop out Six from you," Lunoire said, while Ryuu turned towards her.

"...Perhaps," She said, knowing full well that what Lunoire said was true. However, what she felt towards the man wasn't love, or at least she didn't see it that way. He was kind albeit a bit annoying. He could also cook well and fought the monster to let Syr and Bell escape. However, there was something hidden beneath that demeanour, beneath the bandages. "But… we still don't know what kind of person he is."

That seemed to have worked, as the atmosphere changed in an instant. "He is hiding something, nya," Anya said.

"You have noticed that too. There is something odd about him, besides the fact that he stays here despite being a high-level adventurer," Lunoire said.

"It makes no sense too," Chloe added, everyone turned towards her. "The only reason he would stay here instead of his Familia would be if he got into argument with them or something similar."

"I wonder… What is he trying to hide?" Syr asked nobody in particular as she turned towards the door where she last saw the man.


The Courier went outside the pub and headed towards the Babel, only to see a sight that stopped him in his tracks. Loki and some of the strongest members in her Familia were heading towards him, including Ais, Bete, Finn, Riveria, Tiona, Tione, Gareth, and Lefiya. Any hopes that they were going to walk past each other were dashed in an instant as the goddesses waved towards him.

"Hi there, Six!" She greeted.

He could only groan internally as the goddesses walked up to him. "Hello, goddesses Loki. Is there something you need from me?" He asked.

"Why so tense, I only wanted to say hello," She said and opened her eyes slightly.

"That's a lie and you know it," He countered, while the goddesses chuckled. In the meantime, the rest of the group decided to join them. Some like Tiona smiled at him, while others simply nodded towards him, which he returned. One thing he noticed was a giant weapon resting on the Amazon's back covered in a white sheet.

"Yeah, I suppose it is. So, do you have some time to spare? We have got some questions to ask you," She replied, while the Courier groaned in response.

"Son of a… Unfortunately, as much as I would like to say no, it would be a lie. So to answer your question, yes, I have got a few minutes to spare," He replied, while the goddesses grinned at him.

"Great to hear, now how about we go to the Hostess of Fertility here?" She motioned towards the entrance.

"I was hoping for somewhere more private if you catch my drift?" He asked while Loki chuckled.

"Sure, sure, I will even invite you to our manor, how about it?" She asked.

"Loki, is that really wise?" Riveria interjected. Inviting members from other Familia to their homes was not something she wanted to do.

"I agree with her on that one," He said, while Riveria nodded, glad he understood the manner. Truth was, he was hoping to avoid going into what could potentially be a trap.

"Fine, fine, not manor then. Did you have something else in mind?" She asked while the Courier cupped his chin.

"The Guild seems reasonable, there are private areas where you can talk safely and it's neutral ground for both of us. How about it?" He suggested.

"Sounds good to me, don't you think, Loki?" Finn asked, the suggestion something he could work with.

"Very well then, partner. Let's head out there and get this show on the road!" Loki commanded, before the entire group headed towards the guild.


"So, then, what would you like to know?" He asked as he made himself comfortable on a puff. The rest of the Loki Familia surrounded him from all sides, sitting around a circular table, each with a puff of their own.

"Let's start with the obvious, how did you fix Ais' sword?" Loki asked.

"Trade secret," He replied, the four girls he had met before sighing in response.

"I expected that one," Tiona said.

"Same here," Tione added.

"Oh come on, pretty please?" Loki tried.

"No, won't tell," He refused.

"Loki, you can't expect others to tell you about their development abilities or skills," Riveria said, while the goddesses sighed.

"I know, I know, it was worth a shot though. Anyway, back to the business, join my Familia!" Loki ordered while the man shook his head in response.

"Not interested," He refused again.

"Oh don't be like that. If I remember correctly you told us that you were fine with working with us?" She tried.

"WITH being the keyword, not for you. I am fine with going to the Dungeon with you and helping you kill monsters, but I have got no intention of becoming your personal handyman or joining you for that matter," He explained.

"Mister Six, may I ask, why do you not wish to join our Familia?" Riveria asked, trying to understand the motives behind his decision.

"We have already had this talk before, but long story short, I am happy with my current situation and while I am flattered by your proposal, I have to decline," He replied.

"I can understand that, but why do you not wish to fix our weapons as well, seeing how you would be compensated for your services?" She asked.

"Gods, that all you have to know," He replied. The elf nodded as she understood what he meant by that. If the knowledge became widely spread, the gods would do everything in their power to satisfy their curiosity.

"Still, your secret would be safe with us. I am sure we could work some kind of arrangements," Finn said, while the man cupped his chin, thinking it through.

"Please Six, don't be like that," Tiona pleaded and used at him one of the most dangerous weapons in the world, puppy eyes. He gritted his teeth, doing his best to resist the look the girl was giving him. "Pretty please?"

"...Still no, but just out of curiosity, if I were to work with you what kind of agreement are we talking about?" He replied while the girl beamed at him.

"Does it mean you will do that?" She asked while the man shook his head.

"I have never said so, but the least I can do is hear you out, it's the basic courtesy," He replied, while the girl smiled even wider.

"Progress!" Loki shouted while everyone rolled her eyes at the outburst. "So, partner, how about this. You would be paid almost the same amount as the fixing of the weapon would cost if we were to take it to other Familia, what do you think?"

"I should charge you more though, seeing how I can do in an instant and on the fly," He countered, while Loki choked from the news.

"Don't be like that, it's cheaper to fix weapons using your skill than taking it to the proper smith, isn't it?" She countered.

"True, but you are the one who wants my help, not vice versa. In fact, I could make my prices so absurd, you would rather deal with Hephaestus and such," He answered.

"Gah!" Loki choked as what the man said was true. "Still, don't you think it's a bit pointless? You are basically denying a chance to earn some Valis."

"Perhaps...However, I don't really care about earning money that way. I can always go to the Dungeon, kill some monsters and earn money that way. Slower yes, but I prefer it that way," He explained. That seemed to have done it, as Loki tried to figure what else could she say to make the man change his opinion.

Ais could understand the man, she was similar to him in some ways. Always going to the Dungeon, pushing herself further to become stronger. Money was important, but there was a threshold she wasn't willing to cross. "...Do you dislike us?" She asked.

He turned towards her and shook his head. "No, I do not dislike you, I just don't want to get involved with you."

"...Why not?" She asked, her curiosity piqued.

"You guys and girls look like a whole can of worms waiting to be opened," He said, while the blonde blinked.

"What's that supposed to mean, asshole?" Bete growled while the man sighed.

"It means that he sees us as nothing more but trouble," Finn explained, before turning towards the Courier. "What makes you think that?"

"Experience, I have a feeling that you are going to get into trouble and I want none of that. I have got my personal goals I want to accomplish with my own two hands," He explained, while the members of the Loki Familia looked between each other. "Still, that doesn't mean, I am not willing to compromise."

That seemed to have done as the group turned towards him. "And what do you mean by that, mister Six?" Gareth asked, not expecting the response.

"I can fix your weapons and help you out in the Dungeon or with quests, you name it. In exchange, you will not tell anyone about my skill outside of your Familia, unless I give you my permission, and you will also stop trying to invite me to your Familia. Two, the weapons will be fixed and for the same price as they would if you took it somebody else. Last but not least, any quest or expedition I am part of, five per cent of the profit goes to me," He said.

"That's… better than I expected," Gareth replied. He expected the man to be stubborn to the boot, not even willing to compromise. "Still, you drive hard bargain, friend."

"Don't be like that, give us at least twenty per cent discount," Loki complained, while the Courier snorted.

"Nope, no discount. If you want a discount go to Hephaestus and come to an agreement with her," He denied.

"Pretty please?" She tried.

"What part of no, do you not understand?" He grumbled while giving the goddess a deadpan.

"If I may," Riveria interjected, gaining the attention of the group. "May I ask what would it take to lower the prices for the repairs?"

"Hmm... let me think," He replied, while Loki gave Riveria a thumbs up. A wicked grin appeared on his face as he turned towards the elf. "Well, there might be one thing that you can do. If you can do it, I will give you a ten per cent discount on any and all repairs."

"So, what is it?" Finn asked, a tinge of suspicion appearing in the back of his head.

"An arm-wrestling contest. The strongest one in your Familia against me, if you win, I will give you the discount," He explained.

"Deal!" Loki exclaimed and extended her hand. The Courier then proceeded to shake it, as much as he wanted not to. "Gareth, can you?"

"Hah, sure, Loki," Gareth said as he sat down in front of the Courier and prepared his own arm. The man grinned under the mask. It would be a good opportunity to test out how powerful were the high-level adventurers.

He grabbed the man's hand and gestured to the goddess. "On your mark."

Loki grinned before she raised her hand in the air and began the countdown. "Ready, set, go!"

The Courier used his entire strength to push the dwarf's hand, but no matter how hard he tried, it didn't even budge. Gareth smiled and began pushing, easily overpowering the Courier, whose hand got closer and closer to the table. The man began to sweat, not expecting this kind of result as he desperately debated whether or not to use his kinetic implants, but seeing how easily outclassed he was, he could only watch as his hand his the table with a thud, cheers of the Loki Familia echoing around the building, as he messaged the sore limb.

"That was a good effort, let me tell you," Dwarf said, while offering his hand. The Courier looked at it, sighed and returned the handshake.

"It was, you are way stronger than I anticipated, mister Gareth," He said, while the dwarf nodded.

However, deep inside, the Courier was in a bit of shook. Back in the wasteland, he could do almost anything, easily passing all kinds of checks, without much of a problem. In this world, it didn't happen, even when he used his entire natural strength to win, it still wasn't enough. Sure, he was strong enough to send a deathclaw flying and had a lot of versatility but when it came to raw speed and power, the Loki Familia had him beat.

"Glad to have you on the team," Loki said, gaining the attention of the group.

"I suppose, now is there a weapon you want me to fix?" He asked while Tiona raised her hand into the air.

"Mine!" She exclaimed before she took the weapon out and put it on the table. It was a large double-bladed sword, made from the finest adamantite. However, one of the blades looked like someone poured acid on top of it, leaving it a shadow of its former self. She also put a rolling pin next to it.

"What the hell happened to it?" The Courier asked as he inspected the weapon in front of him.

"On floor fifty we have encountered giant caterpillar monsters that spat acid and damaged most of the weapons in our possession," Finn explained, while the Courier glanced towards him.

"I see, but what's the rolling pin for?" He asked as he gestured at the item in front of him.

"To fix a sword, why else would I bring it?" Tiona asked, not sure what he was getting it.

"I can't fix a two-handed weapon like this with a rolling pin, you know?" He pointed out, while the mood of the Amazon dropped in an instant.

"You can't… fix it?" She asked while the Courier shook his head.

"It's not like this, even my skill has got limitations. I need something vaguely similar to it, something like another two-handed sword or something. After all, you don't use a rolling pin as a two-handed weapon, do you?" He explained.

"I see… can you wait here, while I go buy one?" Tiona asked, while the Courier nodded and she headed out to buy a weapon from Babel.

"So, anything else you need from me?" He asked.

"Y-yes…," Lefiya muttered, everyone, turning towards her. "Thank you for saving my life back then."

"You're welcome," He answered with a shrug, while the elf smiled at him.

"So, you can fix anything assuming they work in a similar way?" Loki asked, curious about the details of the skill.

"More or less," He answered.

"That's pretty impressive, never heard of skill like this before," She said, while the man shrugged.

"Won't your Familia mind you helping us out?" Finn asked since they forgot about this tiny detail.

"It won't be a problem," He replied. The pallum wanted to ask why but refrained from doing so. For all he knew, the man could have fallen out with his Familia and didn't want to talk about it.

"Is there a reason why you hide behind titles and that tin can, asshole?" Bete asked, the Courier snorting at the petty insult.

"Wow, you kiss your mother with that mouth?" He asked while the werewolf growled at him, standing up from his stool.

"Bete, that's enough," Finn said and with hesitation, the werewolf returned to his seat.

"And to answer your question, plenty of. However, I am not a wanted adventurer, if this is what you are asking for," He replied, while Loki nodded confirming his words.

Any questions that could have been asked were silenced as Tiona returned holding a simple two-handed steel sword in her hands. "Will it do?"

"Yep, it will do just fine, just fine," He commended before he received the sword, placed the two weapons next to each other and shouted, "Abracadabra!"

Nothing happened, while Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya chuckled at the gesture and even Ais smiled slightly, everyone else looking confused at the situation.

"Was that supposed to do something?" Riveria asked, not sure what just happened.

"No, it wasn't. I just wanted to mess with you. Now turn around for a moment, will you?" He asked while the four females did as told, the rest of the group following in their footsteps.

"So, how long is it going to…?" Loki started.

"Done," He exclaimed, everyone, turning towards him.

The sword was now in the same form it used to be not too long ago. Even though they heard of the skill, ale present members who were seeing it for the first time were shocked, to say the least. Finn, Riveria, and Gareth were just staring at him like he grew a second head, while Bete's and Loki's jaws dropped to the ground, their eyes spread wide open.

"Urga!" Tiona exclaimed and grabbed the sword, hugging it like a baby.

"Impressive, isn't it? Now a question, how much would have the repair cost and how much did you pay for the sword?" He asked.

"One hundred twenty million Valis for Urga and twenty thousand Valis for the sword," She answered.

"So, you owe me one hundred eight million Valis for the job. Twelve million Valis saved, not bad, huh?" He said, though internally he was cursing himself for giving the group the discount at all. But the deal was a deal.

Then Tiona put away the sword and gave him a bone-crushing hug. "Thank you so much!"

He tensed, expecting for the Amazon to try to do something to him. But as time went on, he noticed she didn't try to stab him or tear off his armour to rape him. Slowly, but surely the woman let him go and put him on the ground.

"You're welcome," He said and with a chuckle ruffled her hair. The woman smiled and giggled, the atmosphere much more relaxed than it was seconds ago. "Now then, you know where to find me if you need any more repairs. Have a nice day, Loki Familia."

"You too," Tione said, Ais nodded, and everyone bid their goodbyes watching the man leave through the front door.

"It seems like it worked quite well, don't you think, Loki?" Finn asked, glad everything went well in the end.

"Yep, I was worried there for a second. However, it seems like Six here is a bit of a softie on the inside, beneath all that menacing demeanour," She answered, while the rest of the group smiled at the comment.

"He is, isn't he?" Tiona said and smiled, her eyes set on the man's back.

To the Amazon, the man was different than what she expected in the beginning. Cold, indifferent to name a few. However, after seeing him protect Lefiya and fix Ais' sword, she came to a conclusion, it was more of a mask than anything else. Tiona wasn't the smartest girl in the world, she knew that much, but even she could pick up on things every now and then. After all, the Courier had been nothing but cordial this entire time.
