Travel Trouble (
Summary[]
In Melen Loki had taken the women of the Loki Familia to a secluded place. They were all embarrassed because of the swimsuits they were wearing except for Riveria, who was transfixed upon seeing hers, and Tiona and Tione who were used to wearing similar outfits. Narvi noted that they were very excited to which Tiona replied that it was because she had leveled up just like Tione. Lefiya felt somewhat bummed that despite being able to level up she hadn't because her magic stat was still B and Loki had convinced her to wait until it was at least a high A. Loki commented that the high executives and her wanted her to be Riveria's successor and that when she became Level 6 having waited for that would be a great advantage.
Ais asked Loki why the men hadn't gone to which she was because in order for the Guild to let them out she had agreed to leave half of their Familia in Orario, although this was just an excuse from her part to have all the women for herself. Lefiya asked Ais if she wouldn't join them in swimming to which Ais refused and Loki asked her if she didn't know how to swim yet. Lefiya said that it was impossible and was surprised to see Ais' reaction and confirming it was true. The others pointed out that in the dungeon she had never been near the water and Ais told them that every time she tried to swim she sank. Tiona offered to help her learn and suggested they first saw how bad her problem was. First they floated her on her back, which she did with no problem, but when they changed position and her face touched the water she quickly sank, startling the others. Loki pointed out that it was useless since the trauma that Riveria had left her with was very serious making Alicia wonder what she had done to her.
Tiona proposed this time that she hold onto her hands which worked until she let her go and Ais sank again. She held on to Tiona and told her not to let her go. Seeing the scene, Loki jumped towards her, but was repelled with a blow. After landing apart from the rest Loki met Njord who had gone to give them some fish. She appreciated it and noted that his business seemed to have improved. He asked her why she had brought so many members of her Familia to which she replied that it had been to check on something.
Two days before, Lulune had met with Loki and Dionysus to deliver a message from Hermes which was to go check the Leviathan Seal. Loki commented that since they were looking for a second dungeon entrance it was a good idea to check it out. Dionysus told her to take care of it, arguing that she was suitable for such missions, and informed her that a sighting of a snake-like creature never seen before off the coast of Melen had been reported. In the present Loki sent Tiona and Tione to check the seal revealing that their suits were made of Undine Cloth as well as giving them daggers made by the Goibniu Familia to defend against monsters.
Tiona was surprised that she could move so well despite not having swum in a long time and Tione pointed out that it was due to their Undine Cloth suits, though she also noted it must have been due to their Diving development ability. Once they got to where the seal was they checked it but were unable to find any cracks. While discussing what to do they saw a Viola and hurriedly followed it. Even though they managed to land a hit the monster didn't stop and attacked a ship. Seeing this the rest of the Loki Familia rushed to try to help, but before they could do anything a woman killed the Viola. Tiona and Tione were shocked to recognize the woman as Bache and even more so when they saw Kali.
