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

Isn't this the harem of rich hostess, the black-boxing Lunova, who's having sex with the waitress?

He shouldn't have admitted his mistake, right?

She still has a touch of youthful innocence on her face, but her resilient spirit is already beginning to take shape.

They won't admit they're wrong.

Seemingly noticing Lynn's gaze, Lunova's sharp eyes swept over as well.

Their eyes met briefly in the air.

A hint of doubt flashed in Lunova's eyes. She didn't recognize the person in front of her, nor did she recognize the fox-girl beside her.

Out of caution, he glanced at them again before turning his attention back to his companions.

Lynn also looked away.

He's not the kind of person who would shamelessly strike up a conversation for no reason.

“Mr. Lynn, what do you think of this chainmail?” Eina’s voice pulled him back to reality. “It’s lightweight and its defense is sufficient to deal with the monsters on the higher levels.”

Lynn picked up the chainmail and weighed it in his hand, then looked at the price tag: 20,000.

Is it really that cheap?

Are things here really that cheap?

Upon hearing this, Eina smiled knowingly and explained softly, "Don't be fooled by the dazzling array of equipment here. In fact, most of the items sold on this fourth floor are the creations of novice blacksmiths."

"A novice blacksmith?"

Chunji blinked curiously as well.

"Yes."

Eina nodded and patiently continued, "For novice blacksmiths, they need a lot of practice to improve their 'forging' skills, and they also need to sell their works to raise funds to buy better materials."

"As for novice adventurers, they also need affordable equipment that provides basic protection."

"Therefore, the guild and the Hephaestus Familia facilitated this cooperation, with novice blacksmiths providing equipment for novice adventurers. It can be said that both sides achieved mutual success."

"Many adventurers have even found their perfect match here, and have been working together since LV1."

Lynn wasn't listening carefully; his mind was completely on the money pouch Kaguya had given him.

Thirty million Fali.

He had a vague idea of ​​this number before.

It's all because of Bell's dagger in the anime. A dagger costs 200 million, and he felt that he couldn't even sell half of it for 30 million.

Although I knew a lot, I didn't realize this much.

But now, looking at the equipment priced at ten or twenty thousand, he truly realized how enormous that sum of money was.

Let alone a single chainmail, even if you bought all the equipment on this fourth floor, it probably wouldn't cost more than ten million.

This group of people from the Astrea Familia...

How big are their hearts?

How could they so casually hand over such a huge sum of money to someone they'd only known for less than two days?

Lynn's mind conjured up the image of Alexandra's hurried and energetic figure.

I recalled Celty's concern that "we don't have enough manpower to begin with."

I also remembered Kaguya's seemingly indifferent yet undeniably caring words of advice when she left.

He understood instantly.

This money is not simply "family funds" at all.

This is a form of protection they offer when they cannot leave their own side or be with Haruhime at all times.

They will be replaced with top-tier weapons and armor to become bodyguards for Lynn and Chunji.

......

The photo shows Lunova.

30. The most dangerous thing is not just the monster.

"no need."

Lynn put the chainmail back in its original place.

"Miss Eina."

"I want to go check out the eighth floor."

"The eighth floor?"

Eina's gentle smile froze for a moment.

She thought she had misheard; her beautiful half-elf ears twitched slightly, and she repeated uncertainly,

"Lynn, you mean... the eighth floor?"

“Yes,” Lynn nodded.

"But……"

Eina instinctively wanted to speak up and remind her.

The eighth floor?

The items sold there are all crafted by the most skilled blacksmiths within the Hephaestus Familia.

It could even be a divine weapon crafted by the goddess herself.

Each one of these items is enough to bankrupt a level 4 adventurer.

But seeing Lynn's expectant look, she swallowed back all the words she was about to say.

Who wouldn't want to see the top-tier equipment crafted by the Hephaestus Familia?

Especially for novice adventurers.

Besides, it doesn't cost any money to take a look. Perhaps going up and taking a look will fill Lynn and Chunji with enthusiasm.

Eina didn't intend to spoil the fun;

"The eighth floor has some requirements; you need to be at least LV3 or higher. But don't worry, I can bring people in."

threshold?

Lynn understood that a place that sells top-tier items like this couldn't possibly let just anyone in.

As for the threshold of LV3, adventurers who reach LV3 may be eligible to purchase equipment from the eighth floor.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Eina." Lynn smiled gratefully.

"It's alright, let's go!"

Eina led the way.

not far away,

The three Lunovas, who were quietly arguing about the price of a leather armor, also overheard Lynn and his two companions' conversation.

The petite little girl's eyes widened.

"Did I hear that right? Those people are going to the eighth floor?"

The goblin man was also shocked, scratching his head sheepishly, "Maybe they're just richer!"

Lunova couldn't help but turn her gaze to Lynn again.

She re-examined the man who had just met her gaze.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary guy is actually so wealthy.

Oh.

It seems to be the offspring of some great human noble family, out experiencing life.

The beautiful fox-person next to him was probably his personal servant.

Lunova quickly made her own judgment in her mind.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

People from different worlds have no need to intersect.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding adventurers,

Eina led Lynn and Chunji toward the elevator that led to the upper level.

As the elevator doors slowly opened on the eighth floor, a completely different smell wafted out.

After Aina communicated with Hephaestus's kin, they were allowed to enter.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the shops on the fourth floor, this place was incredibly quiet.

There are no rows of shelves here.

Instead, weapons and armor were displayed individually in crystal showcases.

Each piece of equipment was enveloped in a soft glow.

In the spacious, almost luxurious space, there were only a handful of people.

They either stood quietly in front of the display case or talked quietly with the shop assistants.

But they all possessed extraordinary qualities, clearly indicating that they were powerful adventurers.

Lynn walked up to the nearest display case.

Inside was a sleek black longsword with dark purple patterns flowing along its blade.

His gaze fell downwards, landing on the small price tag.

Thirteen million Fali!

He didn't stop walking; he moved on to the next one.

A light and airy breastplate.
