I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

Liu's voice suddenly rose several notches, and she blushed and lowered her head.

"I'll go and take care of it right now, and then I'll make you a new one!"

Without waiting for Fujimaru Ritsuka's reply, he grabbed the lunchbox and ran into the kitchen. Then, a series of clanging and banging sounds came from inside the kitchen, making it sound like a war was raging.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips twitched. "So you didn't even watch when you were making it?" Helpless, he got up and followed her into the kitchen. He felt that if he didn't cook for himself, he probably wouldn't have any breakfast this morning.

Because facts have proven that Ryu is not the purple-haired female passerby.

After some fuss, Fujimaru Ritsuka made two ordinary sandwiches with fried eggs and bacon and bread slices.

Throughout the meal, Ryu kept her face red and head down, not saying a word. She felt incredibly ashamed. She hadn't even prepared breakfast for her junior's first meal in Orario, and the junior had to do it herself. As a senior, she was truly useless.

Fortunately, after breakfast, she insisted on washing the dishes, which restored her confidence a little. Although she was not good at cooking, at least she was good at washing dishes!

After Ryu finished washing the dishes, Fujimaru Ritsuka led Ryu to lock the gate and leave the clan's residence.

The first day of the newly formed Asteria Familia in Orario has officially begun!

Volume 1: Chapter 17. Ganesha: I want to invite Fujimaru Ritsuka to join the Military Police.

Mornings and evenings are the busiest times in Orario. Evenings are when adventurers who have finished a day or several days of expeditions return to the surface of Orario to rest and spend money. Mornings, on the other hand, are when adventurers prepare to set off for the dungeons.

"Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka, what are you planning to do today?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ryu walked side by side down the street after leaving the clan's residence. Watching the adventurers hurrying by, Ryu asked Fujimaru Ritsuka as they walked, wanting to know what Fujimaru Ritsuka was planning to do that day so she could make arrangements based on her actions.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not answer her question.

“Miss Ang, we should be considered friends now, right? After all, you’ve taken such good care of me, cleaning my place and making me breakfast and all that.”

Liu paused for a moment, then nodded somewhat awkwardly. She was okay at cleaning, but she had completely failed at making breakfast.

However, Ryu readily acknowledged that they were friends.

"Of course, we are already friends."

That's what she said, but what Ryu really thought was that her relationship with Fujimaru Ritsuka was closer than friends; after all, he was family from a clan.

"Since we're friends, Miss Ang, please call me by my name from now on. There's no need to keep calling me 'Mr.' or anything like that; it makes us seem too distant."

"Of course, in return, I will call Miss Ang by her name. What do you think, Ang?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and looked at Ryu, who was stunned for a moment before nodding with a smile.

"Of course, Ritsuka, I'm not wrong to call you that, am I?"

Yes, the distance between me and the younger generation has narrowed a bit more.

"That's right!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Ryu a thumbs-up.

"As for today's plans, I already tried the dungeon yesterday and reached the 12th floor, so I'm not in a hurry to go to the dungeon today. I want to explore Orario first and learn more about it."

"Yesterday I said I would bring justice to Orario. How can justice be brought if you don't understand Orario?"

"You're right."

Ryu fully agreed with Fujimaru Ritsuka's plan. As a newcomer to Orario, if she wanted to accomplish something, she definitely needed a comprehensive understanding of Orario. If she just blindly grinded dungeons, she would at most become a powerful adventurer. But making her family great wasn't something that could be achieved by simply grinding dungeons, unless she could become the number one in Orario by grinding dungeons!

After all, if someone becomes Orario's number one adventurer, the entire clan will benefit from it.

"Um, do you have any recommended routes?"

As a newcomer, Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally didn't know as much about Orario as her seniors, so she went straight to learn from them.

"As for the route, let's start with the Tower of Babel."

Ryu looked up at the Tower of Babel in the distance, which was being illuminated by the morning light.

“That’s the very center of the city. There are many shops related to adventurers there, and you can see everything in Orario from there. I can give you a tour right there.”

"Alright, let's go to the Tower of Babel first!"

Ryu, accompanied by Fujimaru Ritsuka, headed towards the Tower of Babel. At their destination, the Tower of Babel, a divine assembly was being held, as today was the day of the gods' regular assembly.

"I am Ganesha!"

The one in charge of presiding over the divine assembly is Ganesha, the elephant-headed god and chief deity of the Ganesha Familia, who is officially appointed and commissioned by the Guild and designated by the Orario Military Police.

He stood in front of the host's seat wearing his favorite ivory mask, raised his hands and shouted to all the gods in the audience, which made Xing Chu Huan N tease him.

"Ganesha! You're being childish again!"

"If he didn't act like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he wouldn't be Ganesha!"

"Hahaha, Ganesha, I heard your military police were blasted by a rookie yesterday!"

"I know, I know, that newbie not only criticized the military police, but also the guild."

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a brave newcomer. I feel like Orario is about to have some fun!"

Last night, Fujimaru Ritsuka's declaration of justice spread among the adventurers and naturally reached the ears of the main gods of the various clans. So at today's gathering, these main gods started teasing each other, and the new adventurers openly lashed out at the military police and guilds. This is a rare moment of amusement in Orario after so many years.

The gorillas were just looking for fun. They had lived in the heavens for too long and were too bored, so they came down to train adventurers. They were usually bored and would even take amusement in giving interesting titles to other adventurers who advanced to LV2. Now that they had found something even more interesting than giving titles, they were overjoyed!

Ganesha, the chief god who was being teased, didn't seem embarrassed at all. He simply crossed his arms and sat down in the host's seat, grinning widely to reveal his white teeth.

"Ah! I heard it too, that new kid is full of justice!"

Although Ganesha's role as the military police was terrible, and his character in Orario was much like a policeman who was responsible for covering up the mess afterward, Ganesha's attitude as the main god was still commendable. Although he was a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), he was a god who genuinely wanted to do something, and at least he wasn't the kind of person who just coasted along.

"After the children of my family reported this to me last night, I have deeply reflected on my actions. Starting today, I will make sure my family members correct their behavior!"

"Hey, hey, really? Ganesha, aren't you going to say anything in response?"

"Yes, the Ganesha Familia is a giant in Orario. Shouldn't they do something about their dignity being offended by a newcomer?"

Ganesha's immediate admission of wrongdoing bore the Gorilla Anno X. What they wanted to see was Ganesha getting angry and then leading his Familia to cause trouble for the newcomer, ideally turning it into a war game.

Of course, war games are just their hopes. They know that war games are impossible. There is only one person on the other side, and he is only LV1. If they really made a war game, everyone would just laugh at the Ganesha Familia for bullying the weak.

He just laughed loudly when faced with the gorilla.

"Hahaha, I do intend to do something. The newcomers have been robbed twice since they arrived in Orario. This is indeed an oversight on the part of our Ganesha Familia, so we must do something about it! And I've already come up with a plan!"

"What should we do?"

Curious, the gorilla-like creature wanted to know how Ganesha was made.

As before, Ganesha grinned, revealing his white teeth, and then suddenly raised his hands.

"I, Ganesha, am prepared to invite that child to join my military police!"

Volume 1: 18. Item Creation B

When Ganesha made the invitation, Fujimaru Ritsuka, the one being invited, was unaware that she had been chosen by someone else and was riding the magical elevator of the Tower of Babel upstairs.

As the elevator ascended, Fujimaru Ritsuka kept staring at the magical lights inside, a move that puzzled Ryu who was standing next to her.

What are you looking at?

“I’m looking at this lamp.”

Ryu looked up at the magic lamp.

What's so interesting about the lanterns?

"The lamp itself isn't anything special, but what's behind it is definitely worth seeing."

"The thing behind the lamp, you mean the magic stone?"

"Yes, it's the magic stone."

It must be said that Orario's technological development is quite strange, because the monsters in the dungeons constantly produce magic stones, which contain magic power. As a result, the entire Orario and even the entire Strange World have developed very unique magical technology.

For example, the magic elevator that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ryu rode in was a lift powered by magic stones. The lighting fixtures inside the Tower of Babel were also powered by magic stones to keep it burning all night. There was even a magic stone refrigeration device, which used the ice-attribute magic stones to make a device similar to a refrigerator.

The magic power provided by the magic stone is stable and has no risk of going berserk, making it a very safe and reliable energy source. This gave Fujimaru Ritsuka an idea.

"Yesterday when I went to the dungeon, I was mainly thinking about experiencing it. I just exchanged the magic stones I got for money without thinking too much about it. But today, these devices have given me a new idea."

"What are your thoughts?"

"These magical technology products can utilize the magic power within magic stones, so I should be able to use them too."

"Ok?"

Ryu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise.

"You want to use the magic of the magic stone?"

"Yes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka spread her arms wide.

"To be honest, I really need magic power, but I'm only LV1 right now, so I don't have much magic power. The lack of magic power limits my efficiency in exploring dungeons, so I was thinking that if I absorbed the magic power from magic stones, I could directly use it to sustain myself in battle."

"No way."

Liu immediately shook her head.

"You must not have such thoughts."

Why?

"The magic power in the magic stone can be used, but it carries the chaotic aura of the dungeon. Forcibly absorbing it for too long will cause magic disorder and mental pollution. In severe cases, it will be eroded by the magic power of the labyrinth, turning one into a berserk monster."

Liu pointed to the magic stone lamp.

"Only this kind of magic transmission device can safely utilize the magic within."

"Huh? How could this be?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat surprised. When he watched the anime, he mainly focused on the characters and plot, and he really didn't know about this setting. But thinking about it, it made sense. If magic stones could be absorbed at will, magicians would be invincible in dungeons.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression, Ryu felt that he might still be eyeing the magic stone, so she spoke up again to offer her advice.

"If you want to restore your magic power, you can only buy mana potions made by alchemists. Mana potions can replenish magic power. Although the raw material is also magic stone, the processed magic stone essence has removed the violent aura. However, the price will be more expensive, especially as you go down to the lower levels. The monsters are stronger, and the more magic power you need to kill them, the more mana potions you will need. A trip to the middle level alone can cost tens of thousands of faris just for the potions."

"That's really expensive."

Liu nodded and pointed upwards.

"Generally, only powerful adventurer families have the funds to buy in large quantities."

"Unfortunately, I don't have that much money."

Fujimaru Ritsuka pinched her chin.

"Um, I want magic, but I don't want to spend money. Do you have any ideas?"

Ryu was stunned after hearing this, staring blankly at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

What are you talking about?

"Don't worry, I don't mean to steal other people's things. What I mean is how to use the magic power in the magic stone without spending money."

After hearing this, Liu recovered. Thank goodness, she had misunderstood.

"If that's the case, unless you're a blacksmith or an alchemist, a blacksmith can use magic stones to forge a magic sword. Depending on the properties of the magic stone, it's equivalent to obtaining a magical weapon that doesn't require your own magic power to activate. However, there will be a limit to the number of times it can be used, because the magic power in the magic stone is non-renewable. Once the magic power in the magic stone is exhausted, the magic sword will become an ordinary weapon."

"As for alchemists, they extract the essence of magic stones to make magic potions. These two methods allow them to utilize the magic power in magic stones at a low cost."

"But you..."

To put it bluntly, if you don't have the money to buy, you make it yourself to reduce costs. But being a forger and alchemist isn't easy. These two production skills are abilities that only members of specific clans possess in Orario.

"Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and looked at Ryu.

"I really do know how to forge."

"Ugh?"

Ryu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise.

"You know forging?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka certainly doesn't know forging, but someone else does! Caster—Chen Gong!
