"Shiraishi Kawa-sama, your Familia information has been filled out. Now, I'd like to ask about your Familia's development direction. Will it be a commercial Familia..."
"...or a battle Familia focused on Dungeon exploration?"
"A battle Familia."
Shiraishi Kawa made his choice.
To expand a Familia in the Labyrinth City Orario, the only viable direction was a battle Familia, choosing to conquer the Dungeon.
It was definitely better to resolve things in the Adventurers' Guild immediately if it could be done in one go!
"Alright."
After filling in the remaining required information, it just needed to be submitted to Lord Ouranos, the god who manages the Adventurers' Guild, for approval.
Eina, the Guild staff member, collected the application materials.
Her face was beaming with a smile as she proactively explained, "The Familia application process is very quick. Please wait here for a moment, Shiraishi Kawa-sama."
"Thank you."
Shiraishi Kawa took a sip of the tea on the table. He was quite satisfied with the Adventurers' Guild's service attitude.
During the wait.
Hestia's figure also quietly crept over. Looking at the tea in the cup on the table, she recalled when she created her own Familia.
She didn't receive such treatment at all!!
Looking at the lazy figure sitting on the sofa, she asked somewhat eagerly, "Shiraishi-kun, how is your Familia creation going?"
Seeing Hestia's attitude, he could guess with his eyes closed that this girl definitely had an agenda and wanted his help.
Shiraishi Kawa nodded lightly.
"Now we just wait for the Adventurers' Guild's review. The results should be out soon. You must have something, right? You can just say it directly."
"Um..."
Having her thoughts exposed directly, Hestia felt a bit embarrassed. She stammered, "I have a request. It's about Sakurajima Mai."
"I want to take her as a Familia member."
"To travel freely to and from the DanMachi World, 150 points are required. After all, an interdimensional teleportation anchor must be in a world that has been visited before."
"Only then can it be left behind."
According to the normal timeline of DanMachi.
The plot would likely fully unfold in a few days, with the Loli God Blue Ribbon meeting Bell. However, since Shiraishi Kawa had come to the DanMachi World...
He was definitely going to change its direction.
As for Hestia wanting to take Sakurajima Mai as a Familia member, he didn't have many particular thoughts. As long as he could get the Blue Ribbon...
Then her Familia would also be his, wouldn't it?
The most crucial thing was that the Hedonistic Chosen only required the other party's body, mind, and faith to belong to him, with no restrictions on joining other gods' Familias.
This situation was quite common in Orario. New Adventurers, seeking faster advancement, would choose to join powerful Familias.
Having Sakurajima Mai as Hestia's first Familia member...
Could directly change the plot's direction, shifting the Blue Ribbon's focus for recruiting Familia members to the Dimensional Chat Group, thus easily avoiding certain events.
Thinking of this.
Shiraishi Kawa decisively agreed, "Alright, and also..."
"If you can ensure all your Familia members are female, I can provide some help in other areas... for example, systems from other worlds."
Considering Hestia's vague understanding of the Konosuba World.
Adventurers... ability value appraisal, job changes, it counted as leveraging information asymmetry. Anyway, the Hedonistic Chosen only needed to leave a mark on the other party's lower abdomen.
Using a magic device for appraisal to obtain a Konosuba World Adventurer Card.
Updating ability values... it was better to let Hestia do it. It wouldn't go against her original intention of building a Familia and could also completely stabilize the future development of the Crystal Palace.
"Really?!"
Realizing she had spoken a bit too loudly.
Hestia quickly lowered her tone, her eyes filled with disbelief. She knew that other worlds also had power systems.
She hadn't expected... Shiraishi Kawa to actually be able to fully provide one. In that case, the overall strength of the Familia members would receive a very significant boost!
It was just...
Why would he require all Familia members to be female...? As Hestia pondered this question, a smile appeared on her upturned lips: "Nah, Shiraishi-kun... you wouldn't happen to have a..."
"...love-at-first-sight kind of feeling for me, would you?"
"That's right."
One had to be direct with Hestia.
Shiraishi Kawa nodded with a smile, and it was true; who would refuse a busty, incredibly pure, and cute Loli God?
However, his straightforward attitude...
Made Hestia's cheeks flush. She secretly glanced at Shiraishi Kawa's profile. There was indeed a... well, a slight flutter in her heart.
"We don't know each other very well yet... Maybe you just had a fleeting thought. I think calling it 'love' might be a bit hasty..."
Direct.
Then make her blush.
Seeing Hestia's reaction, Shiraishi Kawa knew he had achieved the desired outcome. He said seriously, "There will be plenty of time for us to get to know each other."
"..."
"Shiraishi Kawa-sama, your Familia application has been approved."
Eina didn't make Shiraishi Kawa wait too long. She quickly returned with the approval receipt for the Familia application, bearing Ouranos's stamp.
This meant Shiraishi Kawa's Familia could conduct recruitment activities in the Labyrinth City Orario.
"If you have decided on a Familia emblem, you can come to the Guild to register it. I will be your exclusive advisor at the Guild from now on."
"Thank you."
Shiraishi Kawa smiled and nodded. Next, he needed to consider how to earn money. Having enough money was necessary to purchase or lease a base.
Unlike the Konosuba World.
In the DanMachi World, most of the Valis are obtained by killing monsters for magic stones and trading them to the Adventurers' Guild, and also... (I haven't had time to read the novel, and the anime doesn't give very specific methods. If there are any issues, I appreciate corrections.)
War Games.
The latter was definitely not an option at the moment.
Feeling Shiraishi Kawa's sincere attitude, Eina's expression was quite surprised. She had never encountered such... friendly gods.
She smiled and said, "This is my job responsibility!"
Looking at the bright sky of Orario, Shiraishi Kawa began to consider his upcoming schedule. The consequences of a god entering the Dungeon...
He glanced at Hestia standing beside him.
According to the original plot, it was because of entering the Dungeon that an anomaly occurred, leading to the birth of a Floor Boss on the 18th floor's safe zone.
The Black Goliath.
Gods were hated by the Dungeon.
Thinking of this.
Shiraishi Kawa decisively opened his God panel. Since the number of Hedonistic Chosen exceeded 10, he hadn't paid further attention.
As it opened, detailed information appeared before him.
Occupation: God
Divinity: Pleasure
Authority: Ring of Avarice
Followers: 0
God Chosen: 11
Subordinate Gods: 0
Talent Skills: Divine Blessing
Talent Skills: Elysium
Talent Skills: Slaanesh's Divine Authority
Talent Skills: Power of Faith
Basic Skills: Divine Authority Grant (Lv2), Faith Extraction (Lv1), Blessing! Attribute Boost (Lv1), Blessing! Luck Boost (Lv1)... "..."
After Shiraishi Kawa finished reviewing the changed attribute panel.
This sentence couldn't help but resurface in his mind.
Just as the hymns praising the Lord of Delight declared, sculpt and sing in His glory, pursue every dream in His name.
Satisfy all thirsts, fear no adventure, for this will be your source of joy.
"This thing isn't a Chaos Evil God panel, is it?!"
His mouth couldn't help but twitch. The original initial attribute panel for the occupation was not overwritten but was divided into two parts.
The latter part didn't change much.
Instead, the God occupation, after completing the breakthrough, inexplicably gained many new data fields: Followers, God Chosen, and Subordinate Gods.
Followers were easy to understand.
Just like Aqua and Eris had their own cults, Subordinate Gods were those who joined the ranks of Pleasure, pledging loyalty to the Lord of Delight.
"So..."
"This Ring of Avarice isn't what I think it is, is it?"
"..."
Not considering a long-term process, but rather rapidly changing the lives of the impoverished, letting her experience a life of extravagance.
Arranging all the pleasures she could enjoy in a short time.
Then... destroy their lives, and those who lose everything and cannot save themselves will pledge loyalty to the Lord of Delight, and even... their souls.
Am I really a Chaos God?
According to the Warhammer 40k setting, outsiders are the greatest demons. This point, when applied to a multi-anime world... barely makes sense.
Then, after obtaining the God's profession panel...
He didn't expect that his divinity... would merge with his transmigration identity, becoming an unknown Chaos God of a certain Subspace through the proficiency panel?
"..."
"Shiraishi-kun, what's wrong?"
Noticing Shiraishi Kawa's change in expression, Hestia turned to look at his profile, out of concern for a junior new god.
She asked with a look of concern.
"Did you run into some trouble?"
"..."
"You could say that. There's a lot to consider... Besides posting recruitment notices for a Familia at the Adventurers' Guild, I must have a base of operations."
Naturally, he wouldn't reveal his inner confusion.
Shiraishi Kawa briefly explained the challenges of forming a Familia, but then he thought of a possibility... his identity as a Chaos God.
Entering the Dungeon.
Would it cause an anomaly, or would he need the Dungeon's approval?
He could try this. Even if a Dungeon anomaly led to the birth of a Floor Boss, with his current strength, resolving it would be easy.
"There's no need to rush with such things."
Hestia said with a reassuring smile. She was in the same state at first, but now... she's somewhat given up.
Fortunately, there's the Dimensional Chat Group.
She also needs to work hard to develop Sakurajima Mai into her Familia, and then... where will she sleep tonight?
When Hestia thought about where she would sleep tonight, her expression instantly froze. She had promised Hephaestus that she would find a place to stay.
But... she thought, Hephaestus has helped her so many times, she probably wouldn't mind, right?
"Shiraishi-kun, where are you going next?"
"Don't try to go to the Dungeon... Gods entering will cause an anomaly, but it seems... with your strength, solving it shouldn't be a problem."
"I understand."
He clearly listened to the advice.
Shiraishi Kawa smiled and said to Hestia. He could indeed go to the Konosuba World, he just hadn't figured out how to meet the masochistic knight in the short term.
Next, if he wanted to make money.
He still had to go to the Dungeon, after all, he was already here.
He headed towards the Tower of Babel, the skyscraper in the distance, while Hestia returned to her best friend Hephaestus's home to find a place to stay.
As for subsequent Familia recruitment?
He didn't plan to use the DanMachi God's method. After confirming their willingness to offer everything, he only needed to bestow them with the Hedonistic Chosen identity.
Using the magic device's appraisal ability from the Konosuba World.
He could also achieve that level.
"Recruiting a Familia might be a bit troublesome... Or maybe try using the Ring of Avarice's authority? It should bring about a corrupting effect, right?"
"..."
He advanced towards the Dungeon entrance. Around him were Adventurers in teams, with Supporters carrying giant packages following behind them.
He hadn't yet mastered spatial abilities.
To explore the Dungeon, he still needed to find a partner. Hiring a Supporter was based on a share of the spoils, so he didn't need to worry about money.
Shiraishi Kawa's gaze briefly swept over everyone.
However.
What ultimately caught his attention was a girl wearing a grey robe and a hood, her body even smaller than Hestia's.
She carried an enormous backpack that completely disproportionate to her size.
A Pallum.
He felt her appearance was somewhat familiar, and since she hadn't found an Adventurer team, she was looking left and right, trying to find someone to hire her.
Then.
Liliruca Erde's gaze met Shiraishi Kawa's.
It was an Adventurer's face she had never seen before, likely a newcomer who had just arrived in the Labyrinth City of Orario, and Shiraishi Kawa's next goal.
Seemed to be conquering the Dungeon?
Carrying her huge backpack, she walked over proactively, looking at the handsome boy who was much taller than her, and asked in a very sincere tone.
"Hello, Adventurer-sama, do you need a Supporter?"
Still at the normal hiring price, Liliruca said seriously: "For the commission, it only costs 3000 ferrari per day."
"..."
The girl had short, slightly curly brown hair, and in terms of height, she was comparable to Marie, not to mention her appearance. Her identity.
Shiraishi Kawa instantly understood.
She was a Supporter from the Soma Familia, and also the Supporter from the original DanMachi anime, Liliruca. Without meeting the protagonist of the original story.
She was still looking for a team.
He also knew about Lili's personality, deeply mired in the Soma Familia's predicament, her reputation as a Supporter was not good.
Embezzling commissions, maliciously raising prices... a distorted worldview caused by the law of the jungle. Shiraishi Kawa didn't hold much hope for saving beautiful young lolis or anything like that.
If he had to say what he was interested in.
It was the Ring of Avarice, the authority he wielded from his God's panel.
He did not refuse.
"Of course."
When the hope of escaping the Soma Familia was placed before them, and the oppressed Adventurers were finally broken, their loyalty was offered in despair.
All the beautiful girls had to be painstakingly conquered.
Shiraishi Kawa felt exhausted just thinking about it. He always believed that good girls shouldn't be missed, and bad girls shouldn't be wasted.
Even though Lili's nature.
Was the result of being oppressed.
Without hesitation.
The Ring of Avarice, the authority of the God of Pleasure, was decisively used on her. There were no casting effects, but it was like a brand.
Left on Lili's body.
"Then let's set off now?"
Lili didn't expect Shiraishi Kawa to agree so quickly, although his current equipment... was indeed a bit shabby.
But he should still have some gains, right... If not, she could just use the excuse of helping to exchange the commission to take all the magic stones on him, which could also count as her commission for the day!
As for the extra portion.
That was her real profit!
Long-term exploitation by the Soma Familia's Adventurers, even her life working at the flower shop was disturbed. For the Adventurers of Orario.
Deep down, she only felt hatred.
Even the seemingly... well-behaved Shiraishi Kawa in front of her, she estimated that he was no different from those Adventurers.
Exploiting Supporters.
This daily torment had long since made Lili weary; she only wanted to return to a normal life.
A thought, rising from who knows where, made her feel that the seemingly unarmed Shiraishi Kawa in front of her was like a treasure.
She had the idea that as long as she was with him.
She could definitely make a lot of money!
Saving enough money to leave the Familia, getting rid of her Supporter status, Lili beamed with a smile: "My name is Lili, what should I call you?"
"Just call me Shiraishi Kawa."
"Okay."
Eager to reach her goal, her attitude was exceptionally warm: "Shiraishi-kun, is this your first time in the Dungeon? Let me be your guide!"
"Mm."
He could clearly feel Lili's change, which was probably the effect of the Ring of Avarice's authority. He didn't mind it.
Everything was within Shiraishi Kawa's control.
Following Liliruca's footsteps, he headed towards the Dungeon's stair entrance. He was also very interested in the monsters of this world!
