@Alivaril I think that you ment "reduce".

No, reintroduce is correct. Slightly modified that sentence to make Lili's meaning clearer.
Offscreen.
Pretty much. Laws in Oratorio only matter as much as other Familias want to inflict them and as much as the accused want to listen.Um, is Ma'at and his lawyering something that shows up in canon at some point? Cause he seems to have popped out of nowhere in this story. There's been no hint of a complex codified set of laws before this. It's all been might makes right and the war games as the only defined way for familias to settle disputes.
Also I don't remember the legality of the potential Friend bodyguard service being a concern before. It was always thought about in terms of public perception, revealing secrets, and the like. Not whether it was legal or not.
Should be either one or the other.Lili could already hear pick out the distinctive sounds of cooing from several nearby eavesdroppers.
Resolutions?So he couldn't follow his recent realizations to kill as many monsters as he could manage.
"No, no, trust me! I'll behave, I'll make you proud, I'll make my sisters proud, and there won't be anything Soma can object to without looking even worse!"
"Dreamer."
I'm guessing he's made of oak. And he's protecting their house. Shielding it, one might say. A subtle and awful pun.
Honestly, Orario as portrayed needs a fairly massive support structure we never see. Plumbers, masons, architects, engineers, and a whole lot of artists and other craftspeople, assuming the Gods don't import all of their luxuries. Supposedly, leaving Orario's a fairly major pain-in-the-ass*(yet another case where laws and bureaucracy must exist) though it's easy to enter the city, so I'd imagine trade goods are more expensive as a result. Luckily, I'd imagine that a lot of the necessary materials can be found in the Dungeon. Even the stone needed for masonry could potentially be taken from the Dungeon, given how strong Adventurers are. And there are plenty of trees.There are taxes and infrastructure. Those alone necessitate supporting laws, especially since not everyone is part of a Familia. Proper enforcement of laws against e.g. theft might be variable, but things in Orario would be far worse without any.
This story interprets any mismatch as "Nearly all laws are just agreements among gods that never expired, what few weak courts that exist are for peons, the compiled laws are such an utter mess that you can say anything with it, etc."
"That's no fun at a–" Dreamer paused. "No, wait. I can still work with this. Presentation is key."
Hestia never said anything about no Door-Friends.
a viable? could?The cooing intensified. Lili wanted nothing more than to sink into Lady Sable's fur and vanish—okay, she also wanted to strangle the horrible adventurers who suddenly chose now to care, but that wasn't anviaboe option. Lili supposed it cojld a little nice to have people view her with something other than disdain, but did they need to act so embarrassing...?
That is strangely specific and I'm suddenly curious how it happens. I'll also note that it sounds kinda plausible for all that it was unintentional!Fixed a few typos which made Lili look like she might be having a stroke in response to one of her first exposures to positive public attention.
@goku90504 appears to have accidentally immortalized the typos you were wondering about, @LostArchivist.a viable? could?The cooing intensified.

The Oakenshield, who led the party of dwarves (and a hobbit, and occasionally a maiar) to reclaim the Lonely Mountain, was THORIN the second, son of Thrain the Second, son of King Thror of the Lonely Mountain, not Durin. He was of the LINE OF DURIN, the ruling line descended from the dwarf that "woke alone" and founded Moria, also called the Dwarrowdelf, and the line in which Durin was reincarnated with his ancient name.I'm guessing he's made of oak. And he's protecting their house. Shielding it, one might say. A subtle and awful pun.
I have a feeling this behavior is going to continue EVEN after getting much larger.
ah Lili,welcome to the blurse of Having A Healthy Family.
Please keep in mind that every single deity in Danmachi has MAD capabilities.Imo what the Gods really need is some payback. They are mere humans as far as their general capabilities are, and quite frankly idiotic ones at that...
So, does anyone else see these 2 little boxes with x's in them? I'm assuming my phone can't display whatever this is meant to be."Oh, you aren't here for—oh dear. Ah, one moment, I made notes for this…"

Like a dog that hasn't realized they're not puppy size any more...
Counteridea: She continues doing it even when she's twice Aiz's size and neither of them see anything wrong with this at all.Well I'm pretty sure priority 1A is keeping Liz safe and unharmed, so probably not? Although given that Liz is such a high level, it's entirely possible that getting gently tackled wouldn't harm her in the sightest. Probably wouldn't improve her mood as much as being nuzzled by a cute littel kitteh though...
What could be wrong with a cat considering acknowledging you as more important than food being the ultimate expression of affection? Itty bitty palm-size kitty or extra cuddly extra large, Aiz's response is entirely correct.Counteridea: She continues doing it even when she's twice Aiz's size and neither of them see anything wrong with this at all.
She is shard, she did PR google and got his brain as one of the sites in shard google.Wasn't she supposed to learn that lesson from Glenn? In canon, I mean. How did she get infected with his madness if she never interacted with him?
There's got to be a pun in this.
