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

The surrounding adventurers burst into laughter and expressed their doubts;

"Come on, Hassanna, he's a hero in the whole city now, what does that have to do with you?"

"Exactly! You're only LV2, and someone else, LV3, took down LV5. Now the newspapers are practically exaggerating his strength to LV6!"

"Hey! You just don't understand!" Hassan thumped his chest loudly.

"Even heroes start as newcomers! I, Hassanal, am a witness to his heroic journey!"

He spoke with great enthusiasm, his spittle flying everywhere.

"You have no idea, the girl with long, straight black hair next to him, Kaguya! A beauty from the Far East! Yamato Rindou, is about to marry him!"

"Let me tell you, I didn't believe it at first, but now I do! My brother Lynn is not only incredibly capable, but he's also a master at picking up girls!"

Toudou Touka stopped and listened quietly.

"Miss Daohua?" Welf tugged at her sleeve and asked softly, "Are we... going into the city?"

Toudou Touka did not answer immediately.

Her gaze was fixed on Hassanal.

A level 3 adventurer defeated two level 5 adventurers?

This is not logical.

In this world, the gap in social class seems to be absolute.

This is completely different from the "sword-wielder" system she knew.

There, the application of skills, beliefs, and abilities can, to some extent, compensate for the gap in pure magical power.

But here, "rank" seems to be an insurmountable barrier.

So, how did that man named Lynn manage to do it?

"Hey! You two, are you new here?"

Hassan noticed Dao Hua and Welf standing at the edge of the crowd.

He strode up to them, patting the elephant head emblem on his chest with his large, fan-like hand.

"Welcome to Orario! I am Hassanar of the Ganesha Familia! I'm in charge of maintaining order around the city gates! Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand!"

"Are you here to register as an adventurer? Or to do business?"

"We've come to find a god and join a clan," Toudou Touka said. Gods were common in this world, so he didn't hide it.

"Looking for a god?" Hassanar paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Then you've come to the right place! Orario lacks everything, but it doesn't lack gods!"

He scratched his head and glanced again at Toudou Toka and Welf beside her.

"Judging from your expressions, you probably want to join a powerful clan, right? Let me tell you, the most popular clan right now is the Astrea Familia!"

He brought the poster closer.

"See them? They're the embodiment of justice! Especially my brother Lynn, that guy... he's a monster!"

Hassan lowered his voice and said mysteriously;

"The guild's announcement only said he was LV3, but that's just an illusion! I heard that he leveled up directly from LV2 to LV3 in battle, and then used some unheard-of magic to reach LV4 combat power!"

"Those last three strikes, wow, I heard their power was comparable to a Level 6 strike!"

Hassan spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

A turbulent feeling stirred within Toudou Touka's heart...

Level up during battle?

Use magic to enhance combat power?

This doesn't sound like the "blessing" system of this world; it's more like some kind of temporary ability boost.

"Where is that guy named Lynn now?" Dongtang Daohua asked.

"He's recovering from his injuries!" Hassan said matter-of-factly. "After fighting those two crazy sisters, it's a miracle he can even stand. Besides, he's getting married soon, and the bride is this girl in the poster, Kaguya!"

He pointed to another woman with black hair and a kimono on the poster.

"The wedding is the day after tomorrow, and all the important people in the city will be there! Our Ganesha clan has also received an invitation! I must go and toast my good brother!"

Toudou Touka remained silent.

She could sense that although the man named Hassan was boasting, the events he mentioned, and the enthusiastic discussion among those around him, suggested that...

All of this proves one thing... a great battle that has just taken place in this city has shaken everyone.

And the man named "Lynn" was at the center of the storm.

A man with special abilities that allow him to break down class barriers.

A wedding that brought together all the city's wealthy and powerful.

This may be her best chance to learn the core secrets of this world.

However, a person who can cause such a huge uproar must be surrounded by powerful forces and complex factions.

Is this a chance for her to find a way back, or a trouble she needs to avoid?

No matter what,

This information is still helpful for 4.0, at least it has some reference value.

“Thank you, Mr. Hassan.” Toudou Touka bowed slightly. “Your information is very useful.”

She led Welf by the hand, preparing to bypass Hassanna and enter the city gate.

"You're welcome!" Hassanna said warmly. "Let me tell you, things haven't been peaceful in the city lately, even though we just won a great victory!"

"But those rats from the Dark Faction aren't all dead yet! You'd better find a reliable inn! If you're going to the guild, just go straight, see that tallest tower? Just follow that path and you'll get there!"

"Also, there's no need to go to the Astrea Familia. The line of people wanting to join them is already outside Orario."

Hassanna watched them leave, scratched his head, and then turned back to his boasting.

"Thank you!" Dongtang Daohua said again and walked into the city.

Nine-year-old Welf's palms were sweaty.

The streets of Orario were a hundred times wider and a hundred times noisier than he had imagined.

He subconsciously moved closer to Toudou Toka.

Almost everyone on both sides of the street was muttering the same name.

"Lynn!"

"The Astrea Familia!"

"hero!"

The words, brimming with power and carrying an almost fanatical adoration, echoed in the air.

Dongtang Daohua's steps were steady, her gaze calmly sweeping over everything around her, taking in all the information.

She could feel the unusually high spirits and the joy of victory in the city at that moment.

She led Welf by the hand and walked straight toward the towering white tower that stretched from heaven to earth—the Tower of Babel.

Hassanna's advice is spot on; if you want to understand the city quickly and accurately, the guild is the best choice.

The guild hall was bustling with noise.

Adventurers crowded in front of the quest board, chatting and laughing loudly, creating a festive atmosphere.

"Miss Eina! Where exactly is the Astrea Familia's base? I brought some of the best ale from my hometown to send to the heroes!"

"I heard that Lord Lynn is single now, is that true?"

"Stop dreaming! He's marrying Kaguya-sama the day after tomorrow!"

Toudou Touka stood quietly outside the crowd, listening to the conversation.

Her gaze finally settled on a half-elf woman behind a counter.

The queue there was the longest, but the employee named Eina maintained an impeccable smile and handled every task methodically.

He seems to be a very warm-hearted person.

Toudou Touka led Welf over.

She didn't queue; she just stood quietly to the side.

Eina noticed her very quickly.

After finishing the last document, she gave Dao Hua a questioning smile.

Hello, how can I help you?

"We are looking for a suitable family to join us."

Dongtang Daohua's voice was cold and clear.

Eina's gaze swept professionally over Toudou Touka and the boy beside her who was tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.

A woman whose strength is unfathomable, raising a child.

"Okay, please follow me."

Eina led them to a separate consultation booth and poured them a glass of water.

"What are your requirements for your family members? For example, combat type, production type, or... do you value family atmosphere more?"

"Combat type," Toudou Touka answered without hesitation, "but I hope for a stable environment."

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Welf.

Eina immediately understood her concerns.

"I understand."

She pulled out several documents from the shelf next to her and spread them on the table.

"The most elite Familias in Orario are the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia, but their entry requirements are extremely stringent, I'm afraid..."
