After everyone had had enough wine and food.
After having talked about what should be talked about and played what should be played, everyone dispersed and went to their own free activities.
Tiona enthusiastically took the two sisters, Akame and Kurome, away. Within one meal, she successfully got to know the two sisters and became good friends. She said she would take them to visit the manor.
Najenda asked for a guest room and went to rest.
Takumi and Riveria took Ryuu to the study room of the Twilight Manor.
"Nothing has changed here." Riveria looked at the familiar environment and walked to a desk very naturally, picked up a book, and started reading.
Takumi also found a chair and sat down, turned around, and said to Ryuu: "Stop standing there, come and sit."
"Mm."
When Ryuu was seated, Takumi asked straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
After the disbandment, Ryuu didn't go to rest. Instead, she approached him and Riveria and said that she wanted to talk to them about something, so the three of them came here.
This study room was previously dedicated to Riveria. Even after Riveria changed her allegiance, everyone in the Loki Familia kept Riveria's previous room and this study so that Riveria could use it at any time after she came back.
This place was usually locked, and only a few people had the key, so it was convenient for Takumi and Ryuu to talk about private matters at this time.
Ryuu took a deep breath, looked at Takumi seriously, and said: "If possible, I hope to participate in your operation."
After coming out of Finn's office, Ryuu had been thinking about the future.
Although she didn't know Takumi's full strength, seeing that the Loki Familia members were fully cooperating, she could also understand the Alliance's determination to wipe out Evilus.
In addition, the base of the Evilus clan had been located.
Ryuu estimated that after this operation, Evilus would most likely disappear from this world.
This was true both from her personal point of view and from the public point of view. From a superficial standpoint, it was a good thing.
But when she thought that her great revenge was about to be fulfilled, Ryuu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Before, revenge was everything to her, and she had never thought about what would happen after the revenge was successful.
Now she saw that the Evilus clan was about to be wiped out, so Ryuu had to make some plans for the future.
But it was undoubtedly a bit difficult for her to think about these things all of a sudden. It was funny that she had no clue at all!
Besides, there was one more thing. This also made Ryuu feel somewhat unfulfilled.
That is, she was not the one to complete the annihilation of Evilus!
It was a joyful thing to have a great revenge, but Ryuu was a little unhappy.
Because of this, she hardly contributed much to the matter and could not help much.
This was unacceptable to Ryuu.
She felt that if she did not contribute, wouldn't her revenge efforts in the past few years have been in vain?
This kind of denial of self-worth made Ryuu very uncomfortable.
Therefore, she found Takumi and hoped to participate in the annihilation operation.
Regardless of whether she could help at the time, at least she would have participated.
In this way, she could feel good about herself. It would be an explanation to herself, and also an explanation to the companions who were tricked and killed by Evilus.
Otherwise, she would not be able to forgive herself.
"Please! This is really important to me. Please let me participate in this operation."
Afraid that Takumi would refuse, Ryuu knelt down directly to Takumi and begged.
Takumi was startled by Ryuu's sudden movement and looked at Ryuu on the ground in shock.
Even though he knew the original work and knew Ryuu's past, Takumi never expected that Ryuu's obsession with this would be so deep.
"Takumi."
Riveria was also shocked, but looking at Ryuu's determined expression, Riveria couldn't help but be moved. She looked at Takumi, ready to help and beg for mercy.
But before she could say anything, Takumi reacted and raised his hand to stop her.
"Okay, I know what you want to say, and I'm not ready to refuse."
"So you agree?"
When Ryuu heard this, she raised her head in surprise.
Takumi smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have no reason to reject you, right?"
For someone like Ryuu, who is innocent, has a firm stance and motivation, and is pretty strong, taking the initiative to join this extermination operation gave him no reason to refuse.
Even from the beginning, when he saw Ryuu being rescued by Najenda and the others, Takumi had already included Ryuu in the list of operatives.
Even if Ryuu didn't take the initiative to apply to join, Takumi would have recruited her.
"Very good, thank you."
Seeing that Takumi really agreed, Ryuu was overjoyed and quickly thanked Takumi.
"You're welcome. I'd like to thank you for your help."
"Yes, Ryuu, you don't have to be like this."
Riveria walked over with a smile and helped Ryuu up.
"Anyway, thank you, it really means a lot to me." Ryuu still insisted.
In this regard, Takumi and Riveria were a little helpless.
However, both of them knew what annihilating Evilus meant to Ryuu, so they did not correct her further.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about you."
Takumi skipped the topic and asked instead: "What are your plans for the future?"
"This..."
Hearing this, Ryuu instantly broke away from her joyful mood and said with a confused look on her face: "I don't know."
"Now I have nothing but revenge."
All her companions had died, and the Main God Astraea had also left Orario. The Astraea Familia that once existed no longer exists.
In addition, she had also been blacklisted by the Guild and there was a bounty on her head. Unless she kept working in the Hostess of Fertility, she would no longer be able to stay in Orario.
If the goal of wiping out Evilus was achieved, then there would really be nothing in this world that she could miss.
"I will probably go back to live in seclusion among the Elves."
Other than going back to her hometown, Ryuu couldn't think of anywhere else to go for the time being.
"So, do you want to come to our place and try?"
Seeing this, Takumi sent an invitation to Ryuu.
"In addition to Riveria, there are many other Elves here, and they can also take care of you."
Riveria glanced at Takumi in surprise. She didn't expect that Takumi would invite Ryuu to join the Dimensional City.
But she didn't think much about it. Since Takumi wanted to invite Ryuu to join, there must be his reasons.
Riveria did not interfere, but said to Ryuu cooperatively:
"Yes, there are quite a few female Elves here (dozens of them). If you come here, you don't have to worry about not getting used to it."
"And our place is almost isolated from the world. You don't have to worry about outsiders finding you there, which is very suitable for seclusion."
"This..."
Ryuu was a little confused for a moment. She didn't expect Takumi to suddenly invite her.
But after listening to what Riveria said, Ryuu couldn't help but feel a little moved.
