"Hestia-sama, please level me up to Level 2!" Kurumi said, turning around to expose her back.

"Okay!" Hestia, still amazed by Kurumi's stats, said excitedly, "Kurumi, all your stats are maxed out! Aren't you excited?"

"Of course! It's great that I didn't fall behind Enju and the others," Kurumi replied with a smile.

Having one incredibly talented Familia member like Kurumi was already a miracle.

She had to protect Kurumi.

"Kurumi, it's wonderful to have you!" After updating Kurumi's stats, Hestia hugged her tightly.

The two girls giggled and played around.

The next day.

"Kurumi, be careful! Everyone, come back safely."

"Don't worry, Hestia-sama! We'll be fine."

"Have a good day!"

Roy and Hestia saw the girls off at the castle gate. They were going deeper into the dungeon today.

To level up, adventurers needed more than just monster-slaying experience. They also needed achievements.

And achievements were earned by defeating floor bosses.

But floor bosses took several days to respawn after being defeated.

And the respawn time was unpredictable, making things…complicated.

So, today's mission was to hunt monsters and

"Cheers!"

"Cheers, everyone!"

——

After a toast, the girls began chatting.

"I wonder if we can reach Level 5 in the remaining half month. Time is running out," Kisara said.

"I doubt it. It's not enough time," Yukari said, shaking her head. The higher the level, the more achievements were needed. And the floor bosses respawned too slowly.

Sometimes, it took several days for a single boss to respawn.

"You've leveled up fast enough. There's no need to push yourselves so hard," Roy said with a smile.

"So, for the next two weeks, you all get to relax and prepare for the War Game."

"I agree. Kurumi, you should rest as well," Hestia said to Kurumi.

Hestia was no longer poor. Kurumi brought back a million Valis every time she went to the dungeon.

Hestia had become quite wealthy.

"Okay, Hestia-sama!" Kurumi nodded obediently.

Enju, Megumin, and Yukari also agreed. They were tired from their dungeon excursions.

"Alright, another toast!"

"Cheers!"

——

While Roy and his Familia celebrated—

A group at a nearby table was feeling…less than celebratory.

"Hey, aren't those the newbies from the Roy Familia? Talking about reaching Level 5?"

"They should stop dreaming."

A blond boy, clearly drunk, stumbled towards them, his voice loud and mocking.

"Hey, their God is here! Don't be so loud!" His companions tried to stop him, but he was too drunk to listen.

"Isn't that the new God? Challenging the Loki Familia right after arriving in Orario? He's just…"

Before he could finish, a knife was pressed against his throat.

The chilling killing intent instantly sobered him up.

He looked at the knife and wet himself.

"Wh-What are you doing?"

"Insult Daddy, and you die!"

Kohina didn't hesitate. The boy's head rolled to the floor.

The tavern fell silent.
