"I didn't! Don't put it so negatively saying I doubt my life, okay? I'm just thinking about things."
When Ryuu heard Takumi's words, she immediately felt unhappy. She glared at Takumi angrily and retorted.
Although today's incident once again proved that she was a useless person who couldn't help in any way, for someone who had long been accustomed to hardship, how could Ryuu be defeated so easily?
She was in a daze just now simply because she was thinking about what to do next.
"Haha, okay, okay, don't be angry. Takumi is like this; he will be rude from time to time. Don't take it to heart. Come on, come on, eat something first."
Riveria didn't wait for Takumi to say anything; she just smiled, smoothed things over, and greeted Ryuu warmly.
"Since Lady Riveria said so, let's forget it."
Seeing this, Ryuu gave Riveria face and accepted the way out.
Takumi shrugged and didn't care.
Riveria looked at Ryuu and asked doubtfully: "Have we met somewhere before? Why do I feel that you look familiar?"
Riveria was not surprised that Ryuu knew her.
She came from the High Elf royal family of this world. Anyone who was an Elf could recognize her identity the moment they heard her full name, so there were almost no Elves in Orario who didn't know her.
It was just that these Elves knew her, but Riveria didn't necessarily know them all.
But when Riveria looked at Ryuu, she felt a little... it looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
There were so many new Elves she met in the Dimensional City, so her impressions of the Elves she knew before had been overwritten a lot.
"Yes, we met a few years ago."
Seeing this, Ryuu stood up and performed an Elf etiquette greeting to Riveria: "Ryuu Lion, formerly of the Astraea Familia."
Putting aside other identities, Riveria was a member of the Elf royal family, so she was worthy of Ryuu's respect.
Riveria suddenly realized: "Oh~ It's you. No wonder you look so familiar. There is no need to be so reserved. Sit down."
"Eh? Are you Ms. Ryuu?"
When Lefiya heard this, she also remembered who Ryuu was.
"Astraea's Elf?"
Tiona also looked over, and so did Ais.
After all, Ryuu was a supernova as famous as Ais at the time. They had all heard of her or had a chance encounter with Ryuu.
"Mm."
Ryuu nodded, sat down again, and unceremoniously took a glass of juice to drink to replenish her fluids.
Then, she felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the curious eyes of Ais and the others.
Ryuu asked helplessly: "What's wrong with me? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lefiya waved her hands hurriedly: "No, it's nothing, I'm just a little curious about you."
Lefiya came to Orario relatively late. She studied in the School District before and happened to miss the dark period of Orario. So she had not met Ryuu, but had heard about her legend.
Now when she saw her, she couldn't help but feel like a fan meeting an idol. Although Lefiya was not exactly a fan of Ryuu, this did not affect Lefiya's curiosity about this famous celebrity of her own race.
"Well, we are also quite curious. After all, you disappeared suddenly before. I am a little curious about what you have been doing during this time."
Tiona also frankly expressed her curiosity about Ryuu.
"..."
Ais looked at Ryuu silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It's nothing, I was a little injured and I just found a place to rest."
Ryuu thought for a while and spoke without revealing too much detailed information.
However, her eyes couldn't help but become a little subtle when she looked at Tiona.
When Ryuu was working at the Hostess of Fertility, she often encountered people from the past. The Loki Familia had visited many times, and she had met Tiona often.
But in the end, Tiona didn't recognize her.
This made Ryuu wonder whether Tiona had a brain or not. Are you blind?
"I always feel like you are thinking of something bad."
"No, it must be your misunderstanding."
"..."
Tiona scratched her head and looked at Ryuu, who looked calm, but she couldn't help but feel a little unsure.
Was it really an illusion?
Takumi suddenly reminded them: "Aren't you going to eat? The food is about to be swept away by Akame and the others."
After hearing this, everyone looked back and saw that the food on the table had almost reached the bottom. In front of Akame and Kurome, the plates had formed several hills, but the two sisters were still showing off their eating speed.
While stuffing their faces, the two sisters quietly commented to each other.
"Sister, this is quite delicious. Try it."
"Yeah, yeah, mine is pretty good too. You can try some too, Kurome."
"It's delicious. Although it's not as good as the food at home in the Dimensional City, it's still better than the food outside."
"Indeed, it has a unique flavor."
...
"Eh?! Slow down and leave some for me!"
Tiona was shocked and quickly joined the ranks of the eaters.
"My potato snacks!"
Even Ais was anxious and showed a surprised expression.
Well, although she still looked blank, she was really cute.
And the reason for the change in her expression was because the large plate of fried potato snacks in front of her had become mostly empty at some point.
As for who did this, there was no need to say more.
"Ah this..."
Lefiya was stunned, a little frightened by the abyssal stomachs of the two sisters.
"Sorry to make everyone laugh, their appetite is a bit big." Najenda smiled awkwardly and apologized.
But now no one cared about what she said. With the addition of Tiona and Ais, several girls started fighting for food regardless of their image.
Fortunately, the food and drinks at the banquet were provided in unlimited quantities, which prevented the girls' war from spreading.
However, thanks to this, no one chatted anymore during the period, and they all ate silently. In less than twenty minutes, a large table of food was cleared away.
"Phew~! It's been a long time since I've eaten so happily."
Tiona sat down slumped.
"Burp~!"
Ais couldn't help but burp, and then continued to be in a daze.
"Not bad. I'm eighty percent full. What about you, Kurome?"
"Sister, I'm almost full too."
"Would you like another dessert?"
"Want!"
The two sisters who were the instigators wiped their mouths calmly, and what they said shocked Lefiya again.
"..."
Ryuu looked at the plates in front of the Akame sisters and compared her own appetite. She couldn't help but feel that if she had to raise these two sisters, she would be eaten out of house and home and go bankrupt in a few months.
Takumi, Riveria, and Najenda were very calm and used to it.
Takumi also said, "What is this compared to others? Artoria's appetite is the really scary one."
If Artoria and all the others were to come, they would probably eat enough to make Finn's wallet ache.
