A crossover anime/manga series, starting with Kaguya's fiancé.

“Hello, we are new members of the Astrea Familia. We are here to submit our basic information and complete the registration,” Lynn said calmly.

“The Astrea Familia?” A hint of joy flashed in Eina’s eyes. “That righteous Familia has new members joining them. This is truly good news.”

She smiled and took two forms and a pen from under the counter, handing them to them.

Please fill in the information above completely.

Lynn and Chunji took the forms and filled them out carefully.

Soon, the two returned the completed forms to Eina.

Eina picked up Haruhime's form first, carefully reviewed the information on it, and nodded, "Haruhime, the fox-person, welcome to become an adventurer of Orario."

Then, she picked up Lynn's form.

When her gaze fell on the "Family Affiliation" section, the smile on her face slowly froze.

Astraea, the goddess of justice.

Eina looked up at Lynn with a puzzled expression, then tapped her finger lightly on that column of the form.

"Your name is Lynn, right? Did you fill this out incorrectly?"

Lynn shook her head. "I didn't fill it in wrong."

"How is that possible?" Eina's voice unconsciously rose a little. "The Astrea Familia, isn't it only made up of girls?"

"Are you really from the Astrea Familia?"

Adventurers are the kind of people who love to join in the fun, and the people around them started shouting along with them.

"Hey, did I hear that right? That kid said he's from the Astrea Familia?"

"What a joke! That's the kin of the Goddess of Justice, a place full of women!"

"Is this kid desperate for fame? He actually dares to impersonate a member of the Astrea Familia!"

Faced with the accusations around her, Chunji mustered her courage and loudly retorted, "No...no, Lord Lynn...he didn't lie."

Lynn remained calm, ignoring the barking of the dogs around him, and simply looked at Eina, who looked confused, and said;

"First, the goddess Astrea has never publicly announced that her kin only recruits female members."

"Secondly, what benefit do you think I would gain from fabricating such an easily exposed lie?"

at this time,

A mocking voice came from the crowd.

"How can there be no benefit?"

A slender human adventurer, dressed in an elegant formal suit and with a hint of smugness on his face, pushed his way through the crowd and stepped out.

"What if you use your status as a member of the Astrea Familia to swindle people?"

He looked Lynn up and down, his eyes filled with disdain.

Someone nearby recognized the person.

"It is Chandra of the Soma Familia."

"Isn't that Level 2 adventurer who's second only to Captain Soma?"

"When did he reach LV2?"

I heard that he recognized the leader of the Soma Guild as his adoptive father, and apparently became a Level 2 through some special means.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"No matter the method, LV2 is LV2. I'm afraid I'll never reach that level in my lifetime."

LV1 is considered a lower-level adventurer. Half of the people in Orario are LV1, and many never advance to LV2 in their entire lives.

Level 2 and above are referred to as advanced adventurers.

Chandra enjoyed the flattery around him, and he walked up to Lynn and said:

"Kid, although the Astrea Familia has never explicitly stated that it does not accept men, that is the reality."

"Even I, a young and highly skilled adventurer, wanted to join the Astrea Familia, but the goddess never even saw me. Do you think you could have?"

He then pointed to Chun Ji beside him, "I think it's not just you, but also this fox-person next to you, they're all imposters!"

...

26. Lift up your shirt

"I think he's just trying to freeload off the Astrea Familia!"

"Get him out of here! Don't let him tarnish the reputation of the Goddess of Justice!"

The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder.

Chunji turned pale with fright.

Eina realized the situation was getting out of control. Seeing that Lynn and Chunji didn't seem like the type to swindle people, she quickly spoke up to defuse the situation.

"Please be quiet, everyone!"

She raised her voice, trying to drown out the surrounding noise, "The adventurer's identity information is actually very easy to confirm."

Eina's gaze returned to Lynn, and she spoke in a businesslike tone:

"If you wish, you can lift your shirt and let us see the 'Blessing' on your back. The clan emblem on it cannot be faked."

This suggestion was considered perfectly reasonable by everyone.

However, Lynn slowly shook his head.

"No."

Neither his undecipherable "Outer Truth" nor Chun Ji's "Mahjong Hammer" is suitable to be revealed here in front of so many people.

Besides, there's no need for me to prove myself to them.

"Ha! You won't dare now, will you!"

"Ha! See! He's feeling guilty!"

"I told you he was a fraud! He didn't even dare to take his clothes off!"

"Kid, if you confess now and show sincerity, we might give you a lighter punishment!"

Lynn's refusal instantly ignited the emotions of the surrounding crowd.

Chandra approached step by step, a disdainful sneer on his face, "Kid, since you won't take it off yourself, I'll give you a hand!"

As he spoke, he actually reached out and grabbed Lynn's collar.

Lynn's eyes turned cold.

He knew that going head-to-head with a level 2 adventurer would be nothing short of asking for trouble.

However, Lynn would never accept being bullied for no reason and surrendering without a fight.

First, use Swallow Return to intimidate the opponent. I believe Eina or the people around her are not fools and will notice something.

Given the chaos here, the guild members will definitely intervene.

Just as Chandra's hand was about to touch him, Lynn moved.

His body tilted back at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding Chandra's grab.

At the same time, his hand moved with lightning speed, drawing the longsword from the waist of an adventurer who was watching the commotion.

"Clang!"

The longsword was drawn from its sheath, emitting a clear and melodious sound.

Upon seeing this, Chandra, instead of being wary, burst into laughter.

"What? You want to fight me? I don't even need to bring a weapon, I can crush you!"

Lynn ignored his shouts and simply gripped his sword tighter.

What he needs to do is not to defeat, but to deter.

"Swallow Returns!"

Lynn uttered two words softly.

The next moment, a dazzling sword light suddenly bloomed before everyone's eyes!

That wasn't a single sword strike!

To everyone's horror, Lynn's sword tip simultaneously pierced Chandra from three completely different angles at the same moment!

Up, left, right!

Three sword lights sealed off any possibility of dodging!

Chandra's arrogant smile froze instantly.

Is this kid just all show and no substance?

What kind of evil sword technique is this?

Chandra panicked instantly, even forgetting that he was already a Level 2 adventurer.

He had no time to think or draw his weapon; he could only instinctively and scramble backward in a disheveled state.

"Pfft!"

Chandra fell flat on his backside.

The three sharp sword lights grazed his nose, cheek, and throat before disappearing into the air.

Lynn himself didn't expect the effect to be so good. Why does Chandra seem so weak?

With a flick of his wrist, he returned the sword to the stunned adventurer, his movements fluid and effortless.

He looked at Chandra, who was slumped on the ground, and said in a flat tone.

"Now, do I need to take my clothes off?"

Eina's mouth opened slightly as she looked at Lynn, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
