Feeling that Shiraishi Kawa wasn't joking with her, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at his serious expression and asked: "What is the price?"
"Teacher Hiratsuka, I recommend the method I just mentioned."
"As long as you pretend not to see ghosts, they won't pose a threat to you. As for wanting to become... a transcendent, the price..."
Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka, whose face was full of curiosity.
Shiraishi Kawa calmly shook his head and said: "This kind of price, even if I stood in Teacher Hiratsuka's shoes, I would never accept it.~"
"Don't be a riddler!"
The more Shiraishi Kawa said this, the more Hiratsuka Shizuka's inner curiosity could not be quelled. She was sure that the means this guy had just displayed...
Were only seen in hot-blooded superpower comics.
Now,
The opportunity to possess the same power as in the comics was right in front of her. If the price was acceptable, she should be able to agree.
"It's about becoming a familiar of a god, offering everything to him—body, mind, and faith—in this way."
"To exchange for the divine grace of becoming a transcendent."
Facing the question, Shiraishi Kawa didn't mark the divine identity on himself. He just wanted to see Hiratsuka Shizuka's reaction to the price.
The result.
Was somewhat unexpected. Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't fall into a rage; instead, she chuckled and shook her head: "This price is actually quite reasonable."
"Shiraishi Kawa..."
"You must be that... god, right?"
"That's right."
He was actually guessed to be a god, but Shiraishi Kawa didn't hide it. He nodded with a calm expression: "Because the price is very high."
"So I don't particularly recommend it."
Carefully observing Shiraishi Kawa's unperturbed eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't find any clues, but if she thought about it, if he really was a god.
And wanted to disguise himself.
How could she, as an ordinary person, possibly see through it?
She didn't mind, after all, this wasn't an obscene joke; it was purely the result of her questioning: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Become an apostle of the God of Pleasure, a Hedonistic Chosen, gain the impression of divine authority to break through the shackles of ordinary human life, and acquire transcendent power."
"Using magic devices from other worlds to change professions."
"Other worlds, changing professions?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka's brows furrowed as she processed the vast amount of information in a short time. She took the black coffee from Shiraishi Kawa's hand.
She didn't care if it was an indirect kiss.
She took a small sip, and the bitterness actually made her brows relax: "Whether to become a Hedonistic Chosen, I... cannot give you an answer yet."
"If I can truly make a choice, I will tell you on Line."
"Don't worry, I won't leak your identity. The price... the price of becoming a Hedonistic Chosen is really difficult to choose!"
"Okay."
The conversation pretty much ended there. Instead of returning to the passenger seat, Shiraishi Kawa sat in the driver's seat of the Porsche 911.
He hadn't gotten a driver's license yet.
Otherwise, he would also like to get a sports car. He skillfully started the car engine and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was leaning her back against him. Just as he was about to speak...
He saw the mature Hiratsuka Shizuka.
She turned to look at him, her eyes full of anticipation: "By the way, God, can you take me to another world for a visit?"
"There will be opportunities."
"..."
Sitting in the passenger seat of her beloved car for the first time, Hiratsuka Shizuka's mood was complex, but she didn't doubt whether Shiraishi Kawa could drive.
Possessing superhuman strength.
Although she hadn't seen it specifically, she somehow felt that it was particularly easy to accept that the underage Shiraishi Kawa, without a driver's license, could drive.
The scenery outside kept changing.
Feeling the wind on her face, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly asked: "I remember your apartment building has rentals, right? Are there any empty rooms?"
"Yes."
"If Teacher Hiratsuka wants to move in, it's best to do it on the weekend... That way I can take a day off, as there are many things to handle."
Although I really wanted to remind her.
Moving into my Crystal Palace is definitely not a wise choice for Hiratsuka Shizuka, but looking at the decision she made with a relaxed expression.
Shiraishi Kawa said in a normal tone.
"Okay."
Hiratsuka Shizuka, not knowing what she was planning, changed the subject and asked, "Are there any other students who have encountered problems with spiritual awareness abilities?"
"Yes, there are."
"Yotsuya Miko, who transferred here this semester, and Miura Yumiko both have spiritual awareness abilities."
Feeling the powerful force of the sports car.
Fuel-efficient cars are the best, it can be regarded as enjoying the thrill. Shiraishi Kawa parked the car downstairs of the apartment building and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in the passenger seat.
"Anything else?"
"If not, I need to take care of my own affairs."
"No."
Seriously looking at Shiraishi Kawa's apartment building, the surrounding facilities are quite complete. The most important thing is that she didn't find many traces of evil spirits.
Hiratsuka Shizuka gently shook her head.
Carefully recalling Miura Yumiko's state, being able to maintain her usual self while possessing spiritual awareness ability basically confirms her identity as a Hedonistic Chosen.
Disturb Yotsuya Miko, who usually speaks very little?
She didn't have this idea. Now, looking at Shiraishi Kawa's departing back, she felt inexplicably melancholic. She hasn't been in a relationship until now.
Could it be... that she can only set her sights on her own student?
"Forget it, let's move in first... Other things will take their course. What is the world of transcendents really like? I'm really curious!"
Of course.
Hiratsuka Shizuka is also very curious about the daily life that Shiraishi Kawa comes into contact with.
"Right now, I'm still lacking space-related skills. Otherwise, it feels very troublesome. I can't possibly carry this magic device with me every time."
Heading to DanMachi World.
To avoid being seen as an eyesore by the local gods, Shiraishi Kawa changed into the Adventurer equipment he had prepared in Konosuba World.
He packed the Adventurer ability appraisal device in a box.
Just as he was about to leave using the interdimensional teleportation anchor point, the anti-theft door made a brief unlocking sound. Mrs. Izumi Miori, wearing a home apron, arrived.
Still a very dangerous hairstyle.
She came home with cleaning tools, changed into indoor shoes, and was about to start her cleaning routine every three days when she looked up again.
She saw Shiraishi Kawa in the distance... looking a bit like he was cosplaying.
The light yellow Adventurer outfit looked like it was custom-made, and the workmanship was very exquisite. Even the gauntlets emitted a metallic luster.
The cloak was fastened in front of his chest, and even the boots looked like they were made of some kind of leather.
As an illustrator, Izumi Miori had naturally come into contact with isekai-themed illustrations, but after all, these were all based on imagination.
Now, Shiraishi Kawa was standing in front of her.
Like an Adventurer who had walked out of a light novel, her eyes sparkled as she curiously asked, "Shiraishi-kun, are you... going to a comic convention?"
"Mrs. Izumi, would you believe me if I said I was going to another world?"
Shiraishi Kawa said in a relaxed tone. Izumi Miori was able to move into this apartment building. If he said he didn't have any thoughts, he would just be fooling himself.
There are many things that need to be dealt with in other worlds.
He didn't even have time to develop potential candidates for the Hedonistic Chosen. He took the initiative to walk over and help Izumi Miori pick up the appliances she needed to clean the room.
However.
When his fingers slightly touched her, he could clearly feel Izumi Miori's body trembling slightly. He turned his gaze to the young Mrs. Izumi in front of him. When their eyes met.
They were very close.
He could even smell the faint scent of shampoo on her body. Being so close caused Izumi Miori's cheeks to flush red.
"Another world or something..."
"Shiraishi-kun, you can't think that you can just find a dump truck and cross over like in light novels... After all, these things are all fictional."
Feeling the intense beating of her heart.
Izumi Miori tried hard to calm down. Being this close, she had finally managed to suppress her desires by keeping busy with work during this period.
When she saw Shiraishi Kawa's handsome face, she was instantly ignited again.
"Indeed, no sane person would use a dump truck to transmigrate!"
Although he couldn't see through Izumi Miori's inner thoughts, if he could grasp the authority of the Ring of Lust, the solution would be very simple.
She can be regarded as a relatively trustworthy Mrs. Izumi.
Since the other party had stumbled upon it.
Shiraishi Kawa didn't intend to hide it. He didn't continue to extend the topic of the other world, but just opened the interdimensional teleportation anchor point of the Chat Group.
He chose DanMachi World.
He picked up the wooden box containing the Adventurer ability appraisal device and said with a smile to Mrs. Izumi Miori, whose face was still flushed.
"I'll be back for dinner tonight, so I'll have to trouble Mrs. Izumi..."
"N... No problem."
"This is what I should do!"
Shaking the lewd thoughts out of her mind, Izumi Miori, who had tried hard to calm down, looked at the figure in front of her with a gentle smile.
But the next scene.
Directly caused Izumi Miori's mind to stop thinking. The wooden floor rippled with a glowing magic circle that would only exist in isekai anime.
Before she could ask about her food preferences.
Shiraishi Kawa, who was holding the wooden box in the center of the living room, had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only the words he had just said, echoing in Izumi Miori's ears.
I'll be back for dinner tonight... So I'll have to trouble Mrs. Izumi... "!!!"
After a simple tease with Izumi Miori, before heading to DanMachi World, he didn't forget to contact Hestia, who was hosting Sakurajima Mai.
The meeting place was at the shop of her friend, the forging goddess Hephaestus. Not being particularly familiar with Orario, it took a lot of effort to find the shop.
The conversation took place in Hephaestus's office.
He changed into Orario-style attire, or rather... the work uniform that Hestia wore when she worked part-time at Fried Potato, a micro-maid outfit.
Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a pink hairpin with little rabbits.
Sakurajima Mai, who was quite unfamiliar with the other world, was carefully observing the various equipment and props in the display window, quite seriously.
Her deep eyes held a bored expression. The perfect face that only exists in anime worlds, coupled with a model-like slender and perfect body proportions.
No matter from which angle.
She is a truly beautiful senior!
Noticing Shiraishi Kawa's gaze in the office, Sakurajima Mai tilted her head slightly, her expression quite calm, and then turned her attention.
To the bustling Tower of Babel.
Also withdrawing his gaze.
Shiraishi Kawa looked at Hestia, who grabbed his arm and wanted to act coquettishly. In fact, from the perspective of body shape, she is an extreme compared to Sakurajima Mai.
Through simple interaction.
Hestia has figured out Sakurajima Mai's personality. Although her understanding of the labyrinth city Orario is very superficial, she can be regarded as a Familia member.
Her Familia's first member is very good!
She blinked her eyes, her tone carrying a bit of pleading: "Shiraishi-kun, I want to invite Sakurajima Mai to join my Familia."
"You have to ask her if she's willing."
Even before there was a chance to talk, he wanted Sakurajima Mai to dedicate everything to him. It was estimated that he would be classified as a pervert.
Shiraishi Kawa smiled and shook his head.
He didn't interfere with whether Sakurajima Mai joined Hestia's Familia. The main point was to let it happen naturally: "I think you should be confident."
"After all, you are a goddess from the Upper World, you should have this confidence, right!"
"..."
Hearing these words, Hestia's face instantly collapsed. She sat on the sofa in a resigned manner, shaking her feet and dropping her slippers to the ground.
She hugged her knees with both hands.
Her fair and delicate feet were exposed in front of Shiraishi Kawa. Even though it was a mortal body, it was not stained with any dust, fair and smooth.
It could be easily grasped with one hand.
The neatly trimmed toenails were very conspicuous when illuminated by the light. They were the type that could be carefully played with. It wouldn't be impossible to taste them after washing them clean...
If there were white silk stockings in the other world, then they would be a perfect match with Hestia.
White silk twin-tailed loli short skirt, which god could withstand such a test? At least Shiraishi Kawa, as a Chaos Evil God.
Just wants to be lewd.
"Shiraishi-kun, you know my situation. I don't even have a decent guild headquarters. I'm still living in Hephaestus's house."
"There are so many powerful Familias outside..."
"I can't force Sakurajima Mai to join my Familia, can I? Can you help me?"
Hestia raised her young face. It was rare to feel distress on the energetic goddess. Compared to other Familias.
Indeed... there isn't a particularly strong attraction!
"What you're talking about... should be the matter of job changing."
Without thinking, Shiraishi Kawa could guess Hestia's thoughts, using his magic device to help Sakurajima Mai successfully become a Familia member.
Help her obtain a profession.
"Yes, that's right!"
If Shiraishi Kawa really agreed, Hestia would not hesitate to bow down to him. The sorrow on the girl's delicate face instantly disappeared.
"Apart from this, I really can't think of how to attract her to join my Familia."
"It's possible."
Facing the request, Shiraishi Kawa didn't refuse, but there is no such thing as free help in the world. Looking at the loli goddess who jumped up from the sofa.
His gaze fell on Hestia.
He added in a calm tone: "Helping Sakurajima Mai change professions is not a problem, but my help has preconditions."
"What conditions!" Hestia asked without thinking.
"Let me first explain the appraisal criteria of the magic device, which is based on the current user's comprehensive ability. The higher the initial appraisal ability value."
"The professions you can choose are more numerous, and your level will be higher."
Shiraishi Kawa pointed to the unopened wooden box on the table, and he calmly explained, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"I can understand."
"So, I first bestow a blessing upon Sakurajima Mai, and then after her abilities improve, I'll come back to you for help awakening her profession, right...?"
Having understood Shiraishi Kawa's idea, Hestia pondered its feasibility.
But for Sakurajima Mai, an Ordinary High School Student from another world, becoming an Adventurer, could she truly cope with the Dungeon labyrinth?
"Actually, there's another method."
Watching Hestia fall into thought.
A hint of playfulness flashed in the depths of Shiraishi Kawa's eyes as he unhurriedly explained, "The other method is simpler. You know my identity."
"I can bestow the identity of a Hedonistic Chosen, helping Sakurajima Mai break through to become a transcendent, and improving her various attributes."
"In short..."
"Sakurajima Mai will first become a God Chosen of my Hedonistic Church, and then join your Hestia Familia as an Adventurer."
He presented the other, simpler, and more beneficial method to Hestia, not rushing her, patiently waiting for her final answer.
The DanMachi World doesn't have particularly strict requirements regarding faith. For example, in the Soma Familia, the Familia members don't worship the god Soma, but rather the wine he brews.
If Hestia could accept it.
Then this would be a win-win situation, increasing the number of God Chosen and controlling the gender composition of the Hestia Familia's dependents.
Without a base.
The Hestia Familia, undoubtedly the most destitute in Orario, also possessed a core competitive advantage for recruiting members: a system from another world.
A win-win!
A God Chosen of the Hedonistic Church choosing to join her Familia, Hestia thought it seemed fine at first glance, but upon closer examination.
She always had a feeling... of being cuckolded by this Shiraishi Kawa fellow!
"I agree! To build the strongest Familia in Orario, and surpass that hateful Loki, I agree to the proposal you just gave!"
"To develop my Familia, anyone who stands in my way will become a stepping stone!"
It seemed he was affected by the AOE, but Shiraishi Kawa didn't mind. He carefully observed Hestia: "I actually don't mind being a stepping stone."
"So..."
"Can I see your beautiful feet first?"
