Elf Ring (
Summary[]
As they walked Finn and Loki talked about the recent events; the remains of Evilus, the Creatures, the Jewel Fetus, and what awaited them on the 59th Floor, with Loki telling him to come back alive. They finally met Hephaestus who brought them to Tsubaki so they could talk about the upcoming expedition. Loki commented on her well endowed breasts but she responded by telling her that if she wanted them she would give them to her since for her they were nothing more than a hindrance, which severily affected Loki.
After that Loki asked how many blacksmiths they could lend them and Hephaestus confirmed that they would be 20 with Tsubaki included. They also asked about the Durandal weapons to which Tsubaki replied that she had already finished them and added that she wanted them to scold Bete since repairing his Flosvirt in such a short time had been complicated for her. Hephaestus asked if they were okay without magic swords, but Loki mentioned that their prices were expensive, prompting Hephaestus to offer her a loan. When they changed the subject to magic swords Tsubaki mentioned a blacksmith who was even better at their creation than her, which surprised both Loki and Finn. However, before she could say more Hephaestus shut her up mentioning that he didn't like talking about his lineage. Irritated, the Half Dwarf mentioned that they should use everything they could to reach the territory of the Gods. They finally agreed to meet in four days in front of Babel to start the expedition.
Elsewhere, Lefiya was sad that Ais had canceled her training to continue Bell's. As she thought about it Dionysus and Filvis approached her with the God inviting her to go for tea. Already in a cafe he asked her what she thought about the events of the 24th Floor and, after thinking about it a bit, Lefiya decided to tell him her opinion. Hearing her, Dionysus changed the topic to the Loki Familia's upcoming expedition. He revealed that Filvis had been worried about her safety and was always talking about her, causing Filvis to become ashamed. Hearing that she planned to train that day he offered to lend Filvis for her training after which the two left the cafe.
Once they were gone Dionysus found himself in an alley with Hermes, who had been watching them. Dionysus mistrusted Hermes, accusing him of abandoning Zeus and becoming Ouranos' dog. He asked what he and Ouranos were hiding but Hermes claimed not to know anything. Fed up with it, Dionysus tried to leave, however, Hermes told him that he had prepared a bottle of wine and mentioned that he might say something once he got drunk, to which Dionysus reminded Hermes that he was very picky regarding wine. Having come to an agreement, the two Gods left together.
From the roof of a building, Asfi and Lulune watched them talk. Lulune commented that the two of them had a black heart and asked Asfi if they could leave, but she denied it and they continued to follow the pair of Gods.
In the dungeon, Filvis helped Lefiya practice concurrent chanting, and after giving her some advice, Lefiya was finally able to do it. Seeing this Filvis left the room and came back with a group of Frog Shooters telling Lefiya that she had to kill them using magic, which she managed to do after a few tries. Once they finished Filvis asked her if she was going on the expedition which she confirmed. She then asked her if it was true that she could invoke the magic of other Elves and what were the conditions for her to be able to do so. Once Lefiya finished her explanation Filvis showed her Dio Grail, telling her that she entrusted it to her and that she wanted her to come back alive. Lefiya replied that she would.
