Finn:...There's no time.

The conversation came to a halt, followed by a brief period of silence. Finn spoke up solemnly.

Finn: Internal conflict

Finn: Internal conflict...Well, that might not be the right way to put it. But if Loki's right that Freya Familia has the key, we have no choice but to weigh all our options.

Riveria's and Gareth's faces became grim. Their captain wasn't ruling out the possibility of a struggle—aka a somewhat forceful transaction backed by more aggressive methods— if negotiations fell through.

It went without saying that the Labyrinth City itself would incur serious damage if the two familias at the top of Orario took an actively hostile stance with each other

It went without saying that the Labyrinth City itself would incur serious damage if the two familias at the top of Orario took an actively hostile stance with each other. And it was hard enough for the members of both groups to interact when they operated under the whims and desires of the two patron goddesses.

Aiz: A humanoid monster...?

Aiz parroted back.

Asuna: Yeah, yeah. It showed up yesterday in the western quarter.

Asuna replied as she walked next to Aiz. Beside Asuna, Tiona had her arms around her back seemingly surprise and Tione frowned in annoyance. The morning sun poured in through a row of windows. After finishing her daily spar with Asuna, those two happened to run into the Amazonian sisters in a narrow hall of the manor. Asuna explained the information she obtained and the uproar that had taken Loki Familia by storm the day before.
