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

"I need to use it to exchange for a more powerful force."

Sanatos stood up and paced slowly in the secret chamber; "I will use this black dragon's scale to gain the support of the God of War, Kali."

...

The iconic giant elephant marked Ganesha's residence.

Moreover, a notable feature of Ganesha's settlement was that when the retinue entered or left, they had to walk through the crotch of the elephants.

That's right, very precise crotch position.

Fortunately, the Ganesha Familia's training grounds and animal taming grounds were all located outside.

"I am Ganesha!"

"I am Ganesha!"

"Hahaha!"

Ganesha's voice was like thunder; Lynn and Ryu heard it as soon as they approached the animal training grounds.

"I am your guide!"

"I am Ganesha!"

“Ganesha!” Lynn had to interrupt this personal show of the “53 Book Club”; he didn’t have time to listen to this now.

Ganesha on the high platform was interrupted, and his movements froze.

He slowly turned his head, and his large, bell-like eyes instantly locked onto Lynn.

The next second, the solemnity on his face was instantly replaced by ecstasy.

"Oh my god! Look who these are! Orario's new hero, the embodiment of justice—Lynn! And the wind spirit, Ryu Leon!"

Ganesha leaped from the high platform, opening his arms as if to embrace the two.

"Ganesha, God." Ryu bowed slightly, maintaining the etiquette of an elf while keeping an appropriate distance.

Ganesha was not angry at all.

"I know all the deeds of the heroes! Your bravery, along with that of the Astrea Familia, shines like a star, illuminating the sky of Orario!" Ganesha waved his hand, pointing to a group of new adventurers in the square, "Stop right there!"

Ganesha's voice didn't lessen at all. He grabbed Lynn's neck and turned him towards the dozen or so bewildered newcomers below the stage.

"Do you see these two?" Ganesha's voice was full of fervor. "They are your role models! They did not back down before the minions of the dark faction! They defended justice with their lives in the face of absolute evil!"

"He is the role model for all of you!"

"Learn from him! Learn from the hero!"

The newlyweds below the stage were taken aback at first, then erupted into a thunderous cheer and discussion.

"It's Lord Lynn!"

"Alive! He's a real hero!"

"The elf next to him is so beautiful... Is that Miss Ryu Rion?"

Lynn felt his scalp tingle from this enthusiasm. He pulled away from Ganesha's arm, lowered his voice, and urged her on.

"Ganesha, I really have an urgent matter to attend to, and I don't have time! I need to rent the fastest dragon mount, right now!"

“Of course! Of course!” Ganesha readily agreed, but a shrewd glint flashed in his eyes. “How could I, Ganesha, refuse a hero’s request?”

He then shifted the focus, pushing Lynn to the forefront once again.

"But look, my children, they admire you so much. Say a few words to them, inspire them with your heroic deeds!"

“Just a few words will do!” Ganesha whispered in Lynn’s ear, “If you can inspire them, I promise you my most beloved and fastest dragon, the Flying Elephant, will be yours!”

Flying elephant!!!

Ganesha, the elephant god, still hasn't forgotten his roots!

The name is disgusting, but did you hear it right?

Did Ganesha say to send it?

"You're giving it to me?" Lynn asked again.

Ganesha nodded, "That's right!"

Lynn was overjoyed; it seemed that Ganesha was also a god with emotions.

Lynn gritted his teeth.

Okay, it's just a speech!

Go ahead and tell me! He's seen plenty of inspirational quotes from Blue Star.

Lynn cleared his throat and addressed the hundreds of people below the stage: "Hello everyone, I am Lynn."

"Hello everyone, I'm Lynn."

The opening remarks were simple and unadorned.

"Many people call me a hero."

Lynn began to tell her story in detail;

"But I want to ask, what is a hero? Is it someone who can cut down a powerful monster with a single blow? Or someone who can chant world-destroying magic?"

He shook his head.

"neither."

"A hero is not an outcome, but a choice."

Lynn's gaze swept over everyone, and his voice became steady and powerful.

"It means that when you face an enemy stronger than yourself, you choose to grip your weapon tightly instead of turning and running away."

"When your comrade falls, you choose to stand in front of him instead of choosing to live a life of dishonor."

"It is also when you are exhausted and want to give up that you choose to grit your teeth and persevere for just one more second."

His words stirred ripples in everyone's hearts.

The eyes of those newcomers who had just stepped into the world of adventure, still filled with confusion and fear, gradually changed.

I want to ask you a question.

Lynn's voice softened, taking on a guiding tone.

Do you remember yourselves from yesterday?

This question stunned everyone.

"Yesterday, you might have been frustrated by a failed mission. You might have been short of money and couldn't even afford a decent weapon. You might have been ridiculed by your comrades for your lack of skill."

"Yesterday you were weak, confused, and even... wanted to give up."

Lynn's voice revealed the vulnerability that everyone is most unwilling to face.

Many of the newcomers lowered their heads unconsciously, their eyes dim.

"but.".

Lynn abruptly changed the subject, his voice rising sharply.

"You've come to stand here today!"

"This means that you are stronger today than you were yesterday! Even if it's just a little bit stronger! Even if it's just swinging your sword one more time or memorizing one more spell incantation!"

He pointed his finger down to the audience.

"The person you should truly admire is not me on the poster, but yourself—the one who overcame yesterday and chose to move forward!"

The training ground remained deathly silent.

But the atmosphere had already subtly changed.

The newcomers who had been bowing their heads slowly raised them, their eyes no longer filled with confusion, but with a thoughtful expression that reflected a sense of being moved.

Liu stood behind Lynn, her golden eyes sparkling with a strange light.

She had never heard of such a theory before.

Instead of praising achievements or advocating justice, it focuses on the adventurers' own efforts.

"The future is something very far away."

Lynn's voice became softer, yet more penetrating.

"But I'll tell you a secret."

"The future you, the one who becomes LV3, LV4, or even more powerful, has always been watching the present you."

"He watched you struggle every time in the dungeon, sweat profusely on the training field, and lick your wounds in the dead of night."

"He may not speak, but he will be proud of every time you persevere. He will also be anxious every time you have the thought of giving up."

"He has placed all his hopes on you. On every breath you take, every heartbeat you make right now."

Lynn opened his arms as if embracing the whole world.

So, become stronger!

"It's not about becoming a hero, it's not about gaining anyone's approval!"

"It's so as not to let down the version of myself who, in the future, is full of anticipation, waiting to meet you!"

"Will your future self thank you for giving your all now? Or will you despise this coward who only makes excuses and stays in the same place?"

"You choose for yourselves!"

"boom!"

In the crowd, a young orc adventurer, his eyes bloodshot, suddenly slammed his cheap longsword into the ground.

He roared.

"I choose! I want to become strong!"

It instantly aroused everyone's interest.
