"Why?"

"I can't tell." Line immediately answered honestly. Since Loki can tell if she's lying, her only choice is to answer truthfully even if Loki becomes mad at her. That's the least she can do for her benefactor.

For Loki's reply, it's the same question, "Why?"

Line looked straight into her eyes, "Because I promised... That's the only I can give for anything regarding this." She knew that Loki would be able to discover Kisuke's group with just a bit of investigation, but if she could promise not to tell anything regarding her Falna, it'll also automatically hide Kisuke's existence to a certain extent. And maybe due to her interest, the Loki Familia could also give them some protection as the top Familia.

Loki didn't speak and only stared at her.

"I can promise you that it won't be detrimental for the Loki Familia." Line continued.

"Haah... Fine. I promise that I won't leak anything regarding your Falna or the cause of its changes." Loki relented, 'I can see her achievement through a status update so it's fine.' Loki thought.

"Thank you very much." Line then started undressing and sat down on Loki's bed.

Loki approached her back and instantly noticed it, 'My inchor is undone!?' The spell that locks the Adventurer's status is gone so she immediately asked, "Line, did anyone used Status Thief on you?"

"Eh?" Line recalled that there is supposed to be a searing pain when someone used a Status Thief on you. And besides, her clothes weren't moved in any way when she regained her consciousness, "I don't remember anything like that being used on me."

Since Loki knew that she's not lying, she didn't ponder on it because it's useless. Cutting a bit of her fingertip, she activated Line's Falna and her excelia immediately came to her.

A few seconds later, Loki's scream resounded to every corner of the Twilight Manor, "WHAAATT!!!???"

"Loki-sama!? What's wrong!?" Line also panicked due to her reaction.

"How did you..."

But before she could finish her question, Riveria, Ais, Tiona, and Tione arrived at her front door, "Loki! What's wrong!?" Riveria shouted from the other side as she opens the door. Since it looks like an emergency, she didn't hesitate to barge into her room.

What came into view when they entered the room is Loki fondling the flushed and topless Line while wearing a dirty old man expression, "Damn, girl~. I thought that your boobs became twice as large as before~!? What was that illusion!? How did I fall for it!?"

"Kyahh~!!!" Line immediately covered her top with both of her hands and escaped from Loki's clutches.

Those who came for her rescue immediately regretted doing so. Ais came close to Loki without any expression and smacked her head, "Ouch!? Ais-tan! You're too violent!"

Ais left the room without minding her and Tione, Tiona, and Lefiya did the same after sighing.

Riveria was the only one left, but instead of looking at Loki and her antics, she kept observing the embarrassed Line and asked, "What happened?"

Loki immediately stopped her acting and smiled, "Not telling~."

Riveria looked at Loki and then sighed, "As long as you're okay with it." She then left the two of them.

'If you knew that Line could cast any magic as long as she knew the logic behind it, then you wouldn't be this calm.' Loki thought as she found the situation funny, 'Let's meet that poor chibi's children later.'

Taking out a sheet of paper, Loki pasted it on Line's back and did a gesture to copy the Falna's contents to it.

Taking a look at it, Loki chuckled before passing it to Line, "This has become interesting. Are you going to the Dungeon tomorrow?"

Line grabbed the paper but before she looks at it, she nodded at Loki's question.

"Then I'll give you special permission until the day of the expedition. Use that time well." Loki then exited the room and went to find the girls to have some fun. She also intended to tell Finn her decision of allowing Line to enter the dungeon. Although Loki didn't know what exactly happened, she's pretty sure that someone is assisting her, 'I look forward to the future~.'

Seeing Loki leave without many words, Line wondered what she's thinking by just letting her go easily. She then took a peek at her status.

Developmental Abilities: Mage

The moment she finished reading her status, she couldn't believe its contents. She thought that Loki might have made some mistakes, but remembering her confident expression, she shook aside that possibility.

The first thing she notices that changed drastically her VIT, DEX and MAG parameters that improved to frightening levels. But even then, she has some ideas why is that the case. First of all, her VIT improved because she repeatedly took damage from Ignis Fatuus and DEX probably improved due to her trying to control Mana directly instead of relying on her chants. While MAG is through the endless practice that always puts her into a Mind Down these past few days.

A small change happened on her Magic as her Healing Light has an additional line which is 'Obsolete'. She didn't know what it means but she's worried that her magic disappeared so she immediately chanted her healing magic but contrary to her worries, it works perfectly fine.

And finally, the largest change that appeared, a skill that she didn't have before, Magic Imperium (Magic Control).

Reading its description, she can easily understand what it does. But although it's listed in her Falna as a skill, she has a feeling that it's only telling her what she can do without. She thinks that the Falna only gave it a name and describe what it can be controlling Mana directly do to herself. In other words, it isn't a skill that came from Loki's blessing.

Clenching her fist, a wave of gratitude for Kisuke's group took over her and she promised to return this favor in the future. But for now, the only thing she can do is to improve herself so that she wouldn't let Kisuke down. Line didn't want Kisuke regretting the fact that she taught her something very important.

Running towards her room while carrying the bag containing the book that Kisuke passed to her earlier, she intends to study it for the better half of the night before resting. Now that she took her first step and probably her last chance, Line doesn't intend to waste any more time.
