Danmachi: Is It Wrong to Be the Main Character in Orario?-Chapter 839: Everyone, Come Take a Look

The Amazoness girl and the Werewolf youth knelt in the center of the dining hall, both with large bumps on their heads.

Gareth, the dwarf standing before them, looked at the pair helplessly.

"Didn’t I say to keep quiet during the gathering?"

"With all this ruckus... aren’t you just causing trouble for the familia?"

The meeting had been going perfectly fine. But just as Gareth finished his work outside and returned to the hall, he found Tiona and Bete trading barbs and nearly throwing punches.

He had rushed over to stop the two idiots. If they had started an actual fight, this gathering would have ended on the spot.

’Can’t these two fools behave even at a time like this?’

Just thinking about it made Gareth’s fists itch. He couldn’t help wanting to smack them both on the head again.

Tiona, kneeling on the ground, was clearly not convinced. She puffed up angrily.

"It’s totally this stupid wolf’s fault! All I said was, ’You really like Ais,’ and he went completely berserk!"

"You stupid woman!"

Having his feelings exposed in front of everyone, Bete’s face twisted with embarrassment, flushing bright red and even taking on a hint of ferocity.

But the onlookers were now delighted to dive into the gossip.

"Bert liking Ais isn’t new. Hasn’t that been obvious for ages?"

"Exactly. You could always feel that Bete treats Ais differently from everyone else."

Frankly, Bete having feelings for Ais wasn’t surprising. Anyone who paid even a little attention could tell.

"But Ais... she’s been in the Dungeon for about half a year now, hasn’t she? She used to go a lot, but isn’t this time a bit too long?"

Naturally, the gossip shifted away from Bete and toward Ais.

After all, Bete was still around in the familia, but Ais had disappeared for six whole months.

Ais went into the Dungeon.

That rumor had spread through the entire familia as soon as she vanished. No one even remembered who first said it. But once a month passed without seeing her, everyone accepted it as fact.

Everyone thought Ais would return after a month-long dungeon trip, yet half a year passed with no sign of her anywhere in the familia.

Everyone knew she’d gone to the Dungeon, but no one knew why she hadn’t returned for so long.

"Half a year, huh."

"Yeah, it’s really been half a year. You can pack a few months of food and supplies in a pouch, but half a year is too long."

"But since the Captain and Loki-sama aren’t worried, they must know what Ais is doing. Otherwise, with Loki-sama’s personality, she would’ve asked questions after just a few days."

"Come to think of it, when Tiona and Mr. Bete were arguing, didn’t they say today’s gathering was about Ais?"

"That makes sense. I was wondering why the Captain even called for a full assembly. So Ais really has been in the Dungeon for half a year?"

Six months was a long time.

Everyone knew how overwhelmingly strong Ais was, but staying in the Dungeon for half a year? With her personality, wouldn’t that basically mean fighting nonstop?

Just imagining it made everyone feel how grueling that must have been.

"Ais really is as incredible as ever... staying so long in such a dangerous place. And knowing her, she definitely went straight to the areas packed with Monsters."

"Ahh... that sounds so dangerous. Ais, are you really alright?"

After admiring her strength, they couldn’t help but worry for her safety.

It was the Dungeon, after all—a place where countless dangerous Monsters were constantly born.

Even if some areas were designated as safe floors...

The saying "safe zones aren’t truly safe" was deeply rooted in everyone’s minds.

Too many factors in the Dungeon could change at any time. Even a place that seemed secure could harbor massive dangers.

So wouldn’t spending half a year there put Ais under tremendous mental and emotional pressure?

Of course it would.

It would be abnormal if it didn’t.

The surrounding chatter naturally reached Lefiya’s ears, and all her bottled-up anxiety burst at once.

"What do I do? What do I do? Miss Ais isn’t in danger, right?"

Even though her heart and strength had grown tremendously—she was already Lv.4 now—Lefiya still couldn’t stay calm at the thought of Ais being in danger.

"Lefiya."

Filvis Challia held her hand gently.

"Time has already passed. Worrying now won’t help. Besides, if this gathering is about the ’Sword Princess,’ then you’ll soon learn her situation. There’s no need to panic now."

"Think calmly. If something truly happened to the Sword Princess, they wouldn’t be gathering the whole familia today."

The logic was undeniable. Lefiya’s overheated mind cooled a little.

...

Filvis was right. Whether she worried or not, it was already too late to change anything.

And since the Captain gathered everyone specifically about Ais today, it meant Miss Ais wasn’t in as much danger as she feared.

"Mm."

Lefiya squeezed Filvis’s hand back, the tension easing slightly.

The gathering in the dining hall was nearly complete.

The Loki Familia’s quiet movement hadn’t drawn the attention of any gods. After all, this was internal business. As long as there weren’t traitors leaking information, nothing inside the Loki Familia would reach outsiders.

Finn, Gareth, and Riveria—the three pillars of the Loki Familia—had arrived in the dining hall as well.

Loki left all hosting matters to Finn and sat quietly by the wall.

"Silence."

Finn stepped forward, first calming the room before explaining the purpose of the gathering.

"This assembly has one purpose: Ais."

"Due to certain reasons, Ais has been training in the Dungeon for the past six months."

"Today, we will be giving everyone an answer—and it marks a very important stage for Ais."

With that, Finn placed a Rune Stone at the very front of the hall.
