After a brief moment of thought, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded.
"I'm willing to join your Familia, Lady Loki."
"That's great!"
Loki clapped her hands, clearly pleased.
"No time to waste. Come on. I'll grant you a Falna right away."
The two of them entered a room inside the Arlong Park building.
Emiya waited outside.
After a while, Loki strolled back out alone.
"Where is she?" Emiya asked.
"She's checking her status," Loki replied casually. "She'll be out soon."
Emiya nodded, then asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to recruit Shizuka Hiratsuka?"
Loki didn't hide anything.
She smiled.
"Ever since the shrimp opened her restaurant and it started getting more popular, I realized something."
"And what would that be?" Emiya asked.
"A single world has limits."
"The shrimp couldn't recruit anyone in Orario. But by bringing in humans from other worlds, she's living comfortably now. Her business keeps expanding."
"If this keeps up, it's only a matter of time before she dominates Orario's restaurant scene."
"Who knows. Maybe a Familia no weaker than Hephaestus's will appear."
"So I finally understood something."
"If I want the Loki Familia to grow stronger, I can't rely on just one world."
She continued without pause.
"Back then, how strong were the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia?"
"Even I didn't want to provoke them."
"But in the end, they still suffered a major setback, lost many high-level members, and got kicked out by me and Freya."
"If my Familia wants to stand firmly in Orario, it has to expand endlessly."
Then she looked at Emiya.
"And you changed everything."
"I can expand my Familia in other worlds."
"When I have a few hundred Level 6s."
"Or even Level 7s."
"That'll be the day I conquer Orario."
"At that time, the expressions on those gods' faces..."
Loki burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha!"
Emiya sighed as he watched her.
"As expected of the God of Pranks."
"Your way of thinking really is different from normal people."
"But a one-sided Orario wouldn't be very interesting," Emiya added.
"A blooming Orario would be better."
Loki paused.
"Hm."
She thought for a moment.
"What you're saying makes sense."
"A blooming Orario does sound fun."
"It would be a shame to ruin it completely."
Then her eyes lit up.
"I've decided."
"I'll still expand the Loki Familia in other worlds."
"But every once in a while, I'll bring a high-level Familia from another world to the gods' meeting."
"Just to scare them."
"That sounds entertaining."
Emiya rolled his eyes.
"You really do have a nasty sense of humor."
"Of course," Loki said proudly.
"I am the God of Pranks."
At that moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked out of the building.
Hearing Loki's laughter, she asked, "What are you two talking about? You sound happy."
"Nothing important," Loki said.
"So? How does it feel? Used to the Falna?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka clenched her fist and moved her body slightly.
"Thank you, Lady Loki."
"You're welcome."
"You're part of my Familia now. No matter what you do, don't disgrace the Loki Familia."
"I won't," Shizuka Hiratsuka said firmly, then glanced at Emiya.
Emiya spoke up. "Loki, I actually need your help with something."
Loki smiled.
"So who do you want me to beat up?"
"Crocodile?"
"Enel?"
"Doflamingo?"
"Kaido?"
"Big Mom?"
"Or the Celestial Dragons?"
Emiya gave a bitter smile.
"You really can't hide anything from a god."
"That's only natural," Loki replied.
"I have decent insight."
"This was Shizuka's idea, wasn't it?"
"She looks like someone with a strong sense of justice."
Emiya asked, "Is it impossible that I wanted to do it myself?"
"Stop joking."
Loki looked at him calmly.
"You're the type who minds their own business."
"If trouble happens right in front of you, you'll step in."
"But if it's far away, you won't interfere."
She smiled faintly.
"You're not a saint."
"Not a hero."
"And not some cold-hearted villain either."
"You're just an ordinary person with a bit of power."
"You won't actively do evil, and you lean toward kindness."
"But without someone pushing you from behind..."
"You'd never do this."
Emiya froze.
He was silent for a moment.
Then he rubbed his temples and laughed bitterly.
"You really see straight through me, Loki."
"As expected of a god who's lived for countless years."
"This kind of insight is terrifying."
Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke up firmly.
"She's right, Lady Loki."
"I was the one who pushed him."
Loki didn't blame her.
Instead, she asked, "So who's the target?"
"Crocodile," Shizuka Hiratsuka answered.
"The Suna Suna no Mi user?" Loki said.
"That's fine. Let's go with him."
She was clearly interested.
Logia-type Devil Fruits were powerful.
Every one of them could create a monster.
A fighter at the level of the Three Admirals could already be considered top-tier in Orario.
They were far weaker than gods who had unsealed their divinity.
But compared to adventurers?
They were overwhelmingly stronger.
Even Ottar wouldn't stand a chance against a Three Admiral.
Even Crocodile could fight Ottar to a stalemate.
That was the problem with Logia abilities.
Turning into an element was absurdly strong.
Physical attacks being ineffective alone was enough to drive most adventurers to despair.
Even magic users weren't guaranteed to kill a Logia user.
Unless their magic happened to be a perfect counter.
For example-
The Suna Suna no Mi user would struggle badly against water-based magic.
"So," Loki asked, "when are we leaving?"
"We can go anytime," Emiya said.
"But I need to say goodbye first."
"To Nami and Nojiko."
Last night, he'd had dinner with them.
They'd talked and laughed together.
They'd become genuine friends.
They were even preparing five hundred kilograms of tangerines for him.
He couldn't just leave without a word.
At the very least-
He needed to say goodbye.
