After breakfast, it's time for everyone to go off to their own dungeons.

''Ta-No-Mo!

　I heard a loud voice from outside the mansion.

'Are you a guest?'
That's just plain old-fashioned, isn't it?

　Emily nods her head and Celeste smiles.

'Sounds like fun, I'm going to get it.'
Me too.

　Alice and Aurum, they left the dining room at once and headed to the front.
　When this happened, I had to go too.

　Aside from everyone else, Aulum would have to go with me to take her to the Aulum dungeon.
　I can't go to the dungeon either until she comes back, so I'll have to go with her.

　Elsa laughed a little bitterly as she understood that.

'Let's all go and see.'
Yeah.

　Nodding to each other, we headed to the front a little later.

　As we walked out the front door of the mansion, we saw the gang confronting Alice and Aulum.
　A young, flustered man in the lead.
　Behind him was the party, three men who looked like friends.

　All of them are in a party with similar equipment, and only the man in the front has a flashy decoration, making him look like a leader.

Lyota.
He wants to see you.
You're Ryota Sato?

　The leader looked at me, smiled, and took a step forward.
　He looked straight at me and said his name in a slumped position.

"I'm Philip, Philip Crown.
Philip the Highlander?
You know about this, Celeste?

　I turn around and ask Celeste, who screamed the moment she heard my name.

'Yes, the highest level man in the world, as I recall--'
Phew, 255.

　Philip said proudly.

　Wow, level 255, huh? That's pretty amazing.
　The highest level I've seen so far is Margaret's 99.
　The upper limit of the level is different for each person, so I thought that 99 was not the highest, but there would be people who exceeded 100, but I knew there were.

''So what does this Mr. Philip want with me?
I'm declaring war.
Yes?
'Lyota Sato. Last year you apparently became the highest earning man in town.
Yeah, well.
'But that's over, too, because now that I'm here, your time is over.
'Well, ...... does that mean you make more money than me?　Cyclo.
That's right.

　Philip said, and his companions began to shout goodbye in unison.

'That's great, young man!'
Hee hee hee.
They're already pissed off at the young man.

　Philip, whose good deed makes me feel even better and even more flustered.

　I thought about it for a minute.
　It's ...... something.
　It's not a good thing, is it?
　If people are coming to town to make money, that means more tax revenue.

'Well, good luck with that.'
Huh, what a sore loser.
Yes?
'You want to take it to the point where you can't lose because you don't go on stage like that, but it doesn't work that way. The numbers are clear, no matter what you try to say. A win or a loss will be clear enough for everyone to see.
Haha. ......

　I think you've got it all wrong.
　I don't mind, but it's too much trouble, so I'm going to ask you to leave.

Is that all you've got to say?　In that case, it's time for us to go to the dungeon, so for today--
Huh, you're gonna get away with it.

　No, no.

'I feel sorry for you guys, too, that you're being duped by these cowards. But now you know.　I'm not going to say a bad thing, but you'd better get out of his sight as soon as possible. If you want to join me, I'll join you.

　Beep!

　As Phillip was finally hanging on to his high opinion, I heard empty ears that looked like the air had frozen and cracked.

　No, it wasn't empty ears, on closer inspection, some of his friends were rather cut off.

　Shimmering flames flicker around Celeste, and Elsa has eyes that look like she could kill someone with just her anger.
　It's Leia who scares me the most. She has the biggest smile I've ever seen on her face since I met her.
　How scary is it to smile at someone who doesn't usually smile?

''Young man, it looks like all these people are brainwashed!
Hmm?　Indeed, that's what you look like. ...... Okay, I'm Lyota Sato.
What?
You're going to come up against me.
...... Yes?

　What is this guy's problem?

"You're going to play me right now. "I'm going to rip your skin off right now.
Oh, I see.

　The way the story is going, if you beat me up, people will wake up...
　It's kind of annoying, so what are we going to do?

"We don't need a low level.
Eve?
God, it's your turn.
'What?　I, it's me?

　Surprised Emily, Eve nodded quietly but clearly.

'Wait, wait, wait, I'm to Lyota Sato--'
High level there.

　Eve said to Philip.
　'High level,' he said, 'but the language is a bit oddly sullen.

'We'll have to defeat the gods first.

　Eve's suggestion, the one that puts Emily against Philip.
　It was agreed upon by the rest of the group.

　They all spoke up and harangued Emily.
　Emily looked at me, I thought for a moment and nodded.

'Okay,'

　Emily then nodded and brought her beloved hammer from inside the mansion and confronted Philip.

'I can't help it, I don't mean to-- hey!　I'm sure you'll come out of it when we beat her.
...... Yeah, I promise.
Yes!

　Philip was motivated and pulled out his weapon.
　It was a crochet claw to be worn on both hands.
　With it on, Phillip pounced on Emily with enough speed to leave an afterimage.

　He was fast!

　As expected of a level 255, he has some difficulties with his personality, but his basic abilities seem to be unquestionably high.

　Philip's claws, which rushed forward like a gale, gouged Emily's defenseless shoulder.

''Emily!''

　I screamed, though.
　Immediately after it hit my shoulder, there was a cracking sound and a spark.

''It's okay, sir!

　Emily swung the hammer down, taking the claw.

　I miss it.
　I remembered my encounter with Emily.
　It was exactly like this, the way Emily showed me the way she defeated the monster right after I had moved to another world, on the first floor of the Tellurium basement.

　A genuine power fighter, taking one hit and finishing it off with a counter.
　Emily fought the same way she did then.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them, but you can't duck and take the hammer head on.

Phew. ......

　Emily carries the hammer back and wipes the sweat off her forehead.
　I peered at Phillip, and Phillip's friends peered fearfully at him too.

　Phillip was stretched out in a wide open position when Emily hit him with the hammer.
　He appears to be in a life-threatening condition.

'Wow, young man!'
I'm pulling out of here!
Remember!

　Philip's friends carried the stretched leader and fled, leaving a discarded message.

　The rest of us surrounded Emily and rambled on.

'That's great Emily, isn't that a blow?'
You are God.
'I mean, what was that?　Is it okay to hit that thing?
''It's okay, with the power Grandpa gave me, I can harden just one part of my body at will.
Arsenic: "Arsenic ...... Blessings of the Spirits.

　Huh, I didn't see Emily getting stronger again after a while. That's great.

"I've seen a lot of adventurers, but I think they'll get it wrong. Emily is the real leader of this family.
That may be true, though.
'Yes, yes, yes. I mean, Emily, you're the big boss behind the scenes.
The family falls apart without God.
'Not true!　They're all too complimentary.

　Emily, who is not used to being praised, blushed profusely.
　But I feel the same way.

　The house is warm and cheerful, the food is absolutely delicious.
　I'm the leader, but I think it's Emily who's in charge.

"Emily, that's awesome.
I'm a mean girl, even Yoda: ......

　Emily scoffed lightly.
　I'm serious - and everyone's faces told me that they were serious.
