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

"It has been confirmed that the Goddess has indeed issued the order: you will enjoy a permanent 10% discount on all your purchases at our store!"

"After the discount, the total is 10,584,000 Fali!"

The entire area fell silent instantly.

The adventurers, who had been discussing the matter, now stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape enough to fit an egg.

permanent!

10% off!

These words, when put together, stirred up a storm in their minds.

The shop assistant carefully arranged all the equipment with great respect.

"Oh my god...it's really true!"

"A permanent 10% discount... Even the leaders of those top-tier clans might not get that kind of treatment, right?"

"Just who is he?"

The envious gazes almost burned Lynn apart.

They wished they could receive the same treatment as Lynn.

Just as Lynn finished paying and was waiting for the final equipment check, the trio he had met earlier also went up to the fifth floor.

It was Lunova and her two companions.

"Wow! The things here are so much better than those on the fourth floor!" The little girl's eyes lit up, and she almost pressed them against the display case.

The goblin male looked at the price tag, scratched his head sheepishly, and muttered, "It's so expensive..."

Lunova's gaze swept over the dazzling array of equipment, and her voice softened unusually.

"Vivi, Siruk, aren't you two getting married next month?"

"Consider it my wedding gift to you. Go ahead and choose one; I'll pay for it."

"Runova!" The dwarf girl Vivi and the goblin boy Siruk both looked at her in surprise.

Vivi was a little embarrassed; "This isn't too expensive."

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly," Lunova urged.

The two then began to look around, stopping in front of a pair of wristbands.

They were a pair of silver couple's wristbands, inlaid with tiny magic crystals, shimmering with iridescent light.

It clearly comes with some kind of blessing-like magical effect.

"This...is so beautiful." The girl's face was full of longing.

The salesperson smiled and introduced, "These 'Unity Wristbands' not only provide protection, but can also slightly enhance the tacit understanding between the wearers. The total price is 1.1 million Fali."

Upon hearing the price, Weiwei's face immediately fell, and she quickly waved her hand, "Too expensive!"

Lunova frowned and said directly to the shop assistant, "I'll take this one."

She took out a money bag from her bosom, poured out all her savings, and carefully counted them. She was still short 200,000 fali.

Her expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she still said to the shop assistant, "Can we use the credit of our Damia Familia as collateral for the rest? We'll pay it back next month."

The shop assistant looked embarrassed.

"I'm very sorry, sir."

"Damia is not a permanent resident of Orario, and according to regulations, we cannot process your credit pledge."

Lunova's body stiffened.

Some adventurers around her cast curious glances, making her face burn with embarrassment.

Just as she was about to pull her companion away from the gift, a calm voice came from the side.

"If needed, I can lend you some manpower temporarily on behalf of the family, but there is a condition: you can provide assistance when the family needs manpower."

Lunova turned around abruptly and saw Lynn standing there, seemingly out of nowhere.

The man I made eye contact with earlier.

She looked at the stranger warily. "I don't know you."

Not wanting to put Lunova in a difficult position, Vivi quickly grabbed Lunova's arm.

"Lunova, let's leave, we don't want it anymore!"

Lunova simply turned her head and looked at the two of them with a serious expression, asking;

"Do you like it or not? Tell the truth."

...

The photo shows Lunova.

34. Does he have a crush on you?

Lynn overheard Lunova mentioning that she was short of money.

While watching anime, he thought the waitresses in "The Rich Mistress" were all nice people.

Lending a hand now is just a small favor.

Their strength is quite good; perhaps they can recruit a clan in the future.

Faced with Lunova's questioning,

Vivi and Siruk exchanged a glance, and in the end, unable to go against their hearts, they nodded heavily in unison.

Seeing their affirmative answer, the tense lines on Lunova's face finally softened a little.

"I'm glad you like it."

After speaking, she took a deep breath, turned to look at Lynn, her eyes no longer wary, but rather open and frank.

"I'll lend you this money. I agree to your conditions. In the future, as long as the request isn't unreasonable, I will do my best to help you."

"For the sake of fairness and trust, I will provide you with my information. My name is Lunova, an adventurer from the Damia Familia."

“These are my companions, Vivi and Siruk. We can pawn our clan crests to you, or…”

Before she could finish speaking, Lynn took out a money pouch from her bosom and casually tossed it over.

Lunova instinctively caught it, and the weight of the purse made her heart skip a beat; it was definitely more than 200,000 falies.

"I believe you."

Lynn spoke calmly, giving Lunova no time to react, and said directly:

"When you have the money, come to the Astrea Familia's residence to pay it back."

After saying that, he turned and left with Haruhime and Eina.

Lunova stood there, clutching the heavy money bag in her hand, her mind blank.

She opened the purse, and inside, neatly stacked, was one million falies.

One million.

So, you just lent it to her like that?

They didn't ask a single unnecessary question, and they didn't even ask for collateral.

He... just trusted a complete stranger like that?

“Lunova…” Vivi leaned closer, watching Lynn’s departing figure, and whispered, “He… does he have a crush on you? I think he’s quite handsome.”

Suddenly, Siruk remembered something, slapped his thigh, and

"The Astrea Familia!"

"I remember now, everyone's saying that the Astrea Familia has recruited its only male member!"

"It's definitely him!"

A self-deprecating smile curled at the corners of Lunova's lips.

"He's obviously not an ordinary person, how could he possibly be interested in someone like me?"

She put away her purse, walked to the counter, bought the pair of "Heart-to-Heart Wristbands," and gave them to Vivi and Siruk.

Lynn and his two companions left the Hephaestus Familia's shop.

Eina walked beside Lynn, stealing glances at him several times through her beautiful half-elf eyes.

Lynn lent Lunova money without hesitation just now.

That's no small amount, and it was lent to a complete stranger; that takes real guts.

He's quick to lend a helping hand and believes in those he trusts—just like the heroes in Argonauts!

Lynn turned her head and joked, "What? Is my face dirty again?"

"No, no..."

Eina hastily averted her gaze and remained silent.

Chunji, as always, obediently followed behind Lynn.

To her, whatever decision Lord Lynn made was perfectly reasonable.

Just then, from an inconspicuous corner of the Tower of Babel, two malevolent gazes locked onto them.

A skinny man licked his lips and whispered to the burly man beside him, "Boss, that kid definitely still has money on him, let's..."

"You don't know anything!"

The burly man, who was called the boss, slapped him on the back of the head.

"A newbie at LV1 dares to spend so much money on equipment, do you think he's an ordinary person?"

A hint of fear flickered in the burly man's eyes.

"The gossip in the guild is going crazy! Goddess Astraea treats this guy like a treasure, and Goddess Hephaestus personally gave him a permanent 10% discount!"

"Is this the kind of person we can even touch?"

"If we rob him, we won't even have a bone left. We'll be in deep trouble!"
