Is it wrong for slimes to be in dungeons? (revised)

chapter 3: foreboding

(A/N: I'm very sorry for the extremely late chapter. To make up for this now that it is summer break (for me) I'll try to upload a lot more often. I could get into excuses as to why it was so late but honestly, you can just blame me for being lazy. And focusing on other things. And you probably don't care anyway so here's the chapter. Hope you enjoy it)

(3rd person)

(Loki familia POV)

Loki had been acting strange lately. It was well known how eccentric she could be, she was a goddess, seeing the lower world as little more than a game to stave off the boredom that inevitably came with immortality. Her nature as a trickster goddess and her perversion was another thing that pulled her apart even among gods. But lately, her antics had been ramped up to 11. And it's not just her. Some have noticed the restlessness of the other gods as well. Something big is coming. So says their adventurer senses.

"So, what's  going on?" Asks a seemingly calm voice, those who know the voice well however could feel the agitation. The voice of one of the top first-tier adventurers, Finn deimne, better known across the world as Braver, leader of the Loki familia. A prum causing him to seem like a child at a glance, even if he was over 40. His bright yellow hair and his lack of wrinkles from not aging didn't help his image as a young boy. He had recently come back from an expedition and noticed Loki's strange behavior. He decided to stay silent now once the celebration and the excitement from the party's return were over.

It was now noon a day after the party had returned from the depths of the dungeon. Finn is sitting in his office within the twilight manor, the home of the Loki familia, one of if not the strongest familia in Orario. Behind him stand two others who were given the same status of "first-tier adventures. Riveria Ljos Alf, A high elf, she held refined beauty about her. She possessed the alias nine hell. Then there's Gareth Landrock, a dwarf, unlike the other two he actually somewhat looked his age. This man goes by the moniker Elgarm.

Before the three first-tier adventures as well as the recipient of the question was the goddess Loki herself, crimson red hair pulled into a ponytail, with her clothing being fairly revealing for someone who didn't have much to show.

She wore the same carefree smile she always had on, seemingly unaffected by the question. In fact, it only grew wider when asked.

"I'm sure ya noticed."

Finn's expression darkened.

"In fact, I'm sure my Aizu and the others noticed as well. Honestly, it'd be harder for em to not notice." Loki says.

"Loki, what is happening in the dungeon," Finn asked, agitation seeping through the cracks of his composed facade.

"Now, now don't get yer panties in a bunch." Loki mocked. "As I've said before I'm sure ya noticed. Something real big is comin'" She said.

"Are we going to have to fight?" asks Gareth.

"Who can say? It did come from the dungeon. If yer lucky the energy pulse could've been an influx of weaker monsters being born." Loki points out. "Although if it was one being that possessed that energy, one thing is pretty clear. Y'all don't stand a chance," she says, her gaze sharpening, examining them. "I'd bet even if all of orario were standing behind ya to face that one threat. It'd be a clean sweep in favor of this hypothetical monster."

"..."

There was nothing anyone in the room could say to argue, no matter how bad they wanted to deny it. Because they all realized, that's simply the truth to the matter.

"Well, I guess I shouldn't worry y'all too much.  here it ain't as bad as the monsters of the great three quests. I can tell ya that much."  She said trying to ease the worry on the three first tiers.
