"The one who'll stay by my side the longest, huh... Miss Loki, I'm just an ordinary person, you know."
Tsuna emphasized that part—ordinary person.
"Oh~? Is that really what you think?"
The smile on Loki's face slowly turned peculiar.
"You think a guy who can imagine and create monsters unrestricted by lifeform or shape is an ordinary person?"
"Or maybe you think someone who's been reborn with the memories of a past life counts as ordinary?"
"You really believe you can face life and death so easily?"
"Carrying that kind of power—don't you crave more?"
"Tell me, Tsuna—don't you think I'd expect that from you?"
Tsuna's cheek twitched. He'd always known Loki's eyes were sharp, but not this sharp.
As a reincarnator, of course he had thought about immortality.
If he really were just a normal person, maybe he could live a simple, quiet life. But the truth was, he had something abnormal—an "extra" that had given him an impossible surprise when he was thirteen.
How could he not dream of a longer life?
Even as he mulled it over, he couldn't help but marvel.
"Miss Loki, your eyes really are terrifyingly keen. You even saw through that thought of mine."
"Heh~ my eyes have always been like this."
Loki puffed her chest proudly, looking smug about it. This was one of her natural gifts.
Unlike Freya's power to see directly into souls, Loki's eyes weren't nearly as convenient—but even so, they'd helped her identify countless people for who they truly were.
Finn, Gareth… and now, Tsuna.
She looked down at him with a faintly approving smile.
"Your ambition matches your potential. But potential isn't the same as actual strength."
"You know that yourself, don't you?"
Tsuna gave a small nod.
"You don't just want immortality for yourself—you want it for the people you care about too. That desire is what pushes you to keep going."
"That's why I won't stop other people from falling for you."
"Because having those emotional bonds—having people you want to protect—that's what gives you the drive to move forward."
Her words were so blunt it left Tsuna momentarily speechless.
She was willing to suppress her own possessiveness just to give him more motivation to pursue immortality.
"Miss Loki," he muttered after a pause, "are you seriously giving me permission to start a harem?"
"What do you think?"
Loki rolled her eyes hard enough to make a point. That kind of dumb, teasing question felt like provocation to her.
"Try saying that to anyone else... no, forget it—you're the only one I'd even consider that for."
She sighed, then smirked. "But that reminds me—once you get both Tione and Tiona, does that mean you'll finally have a legitimate excuse to peek at them bathing?"
"...Miss Loki, if you really wanted to watch, you already could. You're the same gender, after all."
"That's not the point!"
Her whole expression deflated.
"I used to sneak into the bath all the time to tease them, but now they've banned me completely. I have to use a private bath just to wash up."
"Otherwise, how do you think you ended up falling into the bath and finding only me there that day?"
"Oh, so that's why…"
He suddenly recalled that day vividly—such a massive bath, and yet Loki had been the only one inside.
So she'd already been banished long before he arrived.
Tsuna's expression turned complicated.
Realizing his girlfriend was not only hornier than him but had actually been exiled from the women's bath for being a pervert... yeah, that was something.
For a second, he genuinely wasn't sure if she was more man or woman.
Then his mind flashed back to the first moment he'd seen her upon arriving in this world.
Hmm… well, Miss Loki's not completely flat. She's got something—just... small.
His eyes drifted upward almost instinctively. Lying with his head in her lap, it didn't take much effort to see what was right above him—
—and then a sharp bonk landed squarely on his skull.
Loki's crimson eyes narrowed dangerously, her voice dropping low with irritation.
"And just where do you think you were looking?"
Yeah. Classic "angry girlfriend" energy.
"I wasn't looking anywhere," he said immediately.
A vein popped on Loki's forehead. For someone who claimed to be an expert at reading mortals, she clearly had a hidden lie detector skill too.
Obviously, that was a lie.
She grabbed his cheeks and pulled hard—harder than usual, out of pure annoyance.
"Still denying it? You weren't looking but you're lying through your teeth!"
Tsuna just sighed helplessly as his face was stretched like mochi.
His girlfriend wasn't just hornier than him—she could also instantly tell when he was lying. What a headache.
"Anyway," Loki said after finally letting go, "I can accept that other women might like you."
"But there's one kind of woman I absolutely can't stand."
That tone meant business.
If it could help push Tsuna to go further, she'd loosen her possessiveness a bit. Compared to a few fleeting decades, she wanted him by her side for far longer.
If that meant others would enter the picture during that time... she'd tolerate it—barely.
Tsuna agreed almost immediately, though curiosity tugged at him.
"So, Miss Loki, which kind of woman do you hate?"
"Obviously—women like Ishtar and Freya! Those scheming types piss me off the most!"
He fell silent for a moment.
"Miss Loki… are you sure Ishtar even has the brains to scheme?"
"She does," Loki said firmly. "She just comes off as dumb because Freya completely stole her attention."
"Ishtar's Charm isn't on Freya's level—she can't bewitch gods the way Freya can—but against mortals? It's almost unbeatable."
"She's ruined so many men I've lost count."
"So, stay away from women like her. Keep them exactly where they belong."
Her warning made Tsuna reevaluate Ishtar entirely.
At the very least, he now knew one thing for sure: he should never underestimate that goddess—or he'd end up in real trouble.
"As for Freya…" Loki waved it off. "Just don't give her a reason to get close to you."
She didn't go into more detail—not because it didn't matter, but because she knew Tsuna was already more cautious around Freya than she'd ever need to remind him to be.
