"He's already at the limit, ready to level up...."
Hestia said slowly.
"How though? Aren't stats supposed to start from 0?"
Lioro asked in curiosity.
Heck, even his stats showed '0,' and at that time, his base strength was much higher than Yoriichi's.
"It's a gift....."
Hestia said and traced Yoriichi's back, upgrading his level.
"A gift from his original world."
'The hell, where's my gift?'
Lioro complained in his mind.
Let's be honest here, his contribution to killing Muzen was at least 90% okay?
So where was his gift?
Shameless world!
Hestia turned and looked at Lioro.
It seems her first child was even more special than she expected.
From the fragments of memories Hestia saw, she knew Yoriichi wasn't from their world.
'Lioro just who are you?....'
Seeing Hestia staring intently at him, Lioro blushed and said in a shy voice.
"I know I'm handsome but you don't have to stare~~"
Hestia blinked her eyes.
Seeing his strange behavior, she suddenly burst out laughing.
Indeed.
No matter what he was hiding, as long as Lioro carried her blessing, he was a part of her familia.
Her first child, the most special one.
With a smile on her face, Hestia copied Yoriichi's status on a paper and handed it to him.
Yoriichi curiously looked at his status and started putting on his clothes.
Just then Lioro's voice entered their ears.
"We need to hide Yoriichi's information from the guild."
Hestia and Yoriichi turned towards him.
Lioro continued in a calm voice.
"If they ask then we'll say that he's still a level 1."
From level 1 to level 2 in less than a day?
To be honest most won't even believe it, simply thinking it to be a stupid rumor of sorts.
But still.

Although he didn't clearly understand what it meant, Yoriichi knew one thing.
His physique which he thought had reached its peak, could now be further improved to a new level.
'It's as if a shackle holding my body has been lifted.'
He could feel it.
"Alright, we're heading out."
Lioro said and grabbed Yoriichi's arm, pulled him, and quickly exited the place.
Hestia smiled seeing Lioro forcefully taking away the confused Yoriichi.
Though not long after the realization hit her.
They just left her alone, didn't they?
Hestia released a helpless sigh.
Leaning back on the bed, Hestia placed a hand on her forehead and said in a small voice.
"Demons...."
Remembering what those things did to her child made her clenched her fist in anger.
If they were in her world then she might not have been able to control herself and extinguished them by releasing her divine powers.
Fortunately, Yoriichi was able to put an end to them.
The image of Yoriichi killing Muzen passed through her mind.
And yes that's all she saw.
Completely overlooked the 90% plus assistance Lioro and the bone dragon provided.
Everyone was selfish, only looking at the result and not the process.

----
Memories of wielding a sword rushed into Lioro's mind, he instantly became a Sword Master who had been practicing his sword for decades.
[Triggered the High job 'Magic Swordsmen.']
[Condition satisfied.]
[Do you want to get the job?]
Before when Lioro was in the demon slayer world, he did not receive any job notification when touching Yoriichi.
This could only mean that Yoriichi managed to get the high class right after coming to the world of Danmachi.
Including the various development Abilities in his status.
Thinking in his mind, Lioro accepted the job.
Now that he had the power to delete classes, he had more leeway in trying various directions.

'Two Passive and one Active skill?'
Lioro couldn't help but check his panel again, wondering if he'd seen it wrong.
But the information didn't change.
'You dare call yourself a high profession?'
Why was it so weak?
It didn't even have any career Skills.
Lioro shook his head in displeasure.
The first Passive was utterly useless to him who can weird any weapon thanks to Epic class 'Divine Smith'.
It was also incomparable to his other high-class 'Cursed Knight' with its crazy instant death passives.
But then again it was pretty easy to get if you take into consideration that it only needs one medium class ' Master Swordsmen' and one basic class 'Mage' as a pre-requisite.
Looking at Yoriichi, Lioro said.
"Show me your Sun Breathing."
Yoriichi looked at him in confusion, but still pulled out his sword and executed his technique.
[Technique 'Sun Breathing' Detected, condition satisfied would you like to spent 1 skill point to learn it?]
'Yes'
----
Martial Arts: Sun Breathing.
Cost: Concentration.
Description: A high-speed sword technique that channels the power of the sun into your breath.
Passive effects:-
"Sun's anger": Deals double damage against enemies with evil karma.
"Sun's spirit": While in use, increases stamina consumption.
"Sun's deterrence": Blocks enemy's regeneration.
----
It was his first Martial arts technique.
The memories of the strongest Breathing technique entered Lioro's mind.
Within moments he mastered the technique.
He was now a certified demon slayer.
Interestingly, Martial Arts don't use mana but instead rely on concentration to execute.
This means that as long as Lioro's mind was stable, he could continuously keep using Martial arts.
And Martial Arts didn't exist in Yggdrasil.
Lioro and Yoriichi made their way to the adventurer's guild.
Due to both of their extraordinary appearances, they quickly became the center of attention.
"Look at those two....."
A random female adventurer muttered with stars in her eyes.
Lioro smiled and greeted his guild Advisor.
"Good morning Ms. Rose."
"Good morning adventurer Lioro....."
Rose nodded at Lioro then curiously looked at Yoriichi standing behind him.
Tall.
That's the first thought that came to her mind.
Inadvertently, her eyes landed on Yoriichi's face.
That mark spreading from his forehead, perfectly matching with his flame-like hair, along with those clear eyes and robust build...
And he seems to be staring at her ears....
A blush appeared on Rose's face as she quickly looked away from Yoriichi.
Yoriichi curiously looked at her animal ears.
It was his first time seeing a wolf-human.
Lioro was dumbfounded.
Barely suppressing the urge to hit someone he pointed at Yoriichi and said to Rose.
"This is the new member of my familia, Yoriichi Tsugikuni...."
Rose nodded her head and started filling out a form.
During the process, she secretly stole several glances at Yoriichi.
Lioro took in a deep breath.
He....might have brought more trouble than anticipated.
Yoriichi silently stood in place, not showing any reaction.
Rose lowered her eyes in disappointment.
After completing their work at the adventurer's guild, Lioro and Yoriichi made their way towards the housing area.
"What do you think about that one?"
Lioro said while pointing at a two-story house with a small fence around it.
"Are we buying a house?"
"Three of us can't stay in the abandoned church."
Lioro shook his head, he was already sleeping on the couch so where would Yoriichi sleep? On the floor?
They needed a new place.
Especially after getting Yoriichi to join his familia, Lioro's thoughts were changing.
He was absolutely going to travel to various other worlds in the future, and if he finds more people like Yoriichi.....
Lioro grinned.
It was like catching Pokémons, gotta catch all the legendary ones!
Seeing Lioro's creepy expression, Yoriichi quietly took a step away from him.
Looking at the big house in front of them, Yoriichi couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it expensive?...."
Aka aren't we poor?
"We have money but that isn't the issue....."
The problem was how to buy the house with magic crystals since the other party would ask for valis.
And going to the guild to exchange money was problematic....
Just how was he going to explain the source of the magic crystals?
Or maybe...
'Can't I wear a hood and exchange valis anonymously or something?'
First, that sounded like a stupid plan, second even if he somehow succeeded, the guild would know if Hestia familia suddenly bought a new house.
So many unnecessary problems.
Even if you had money you can't spend it.
But they can't sleep in the abandoned church either.
Lioro fell into a dilemma.
After thinking for a moment he came to a conclusion.
'Let's try bribing the buyer.'
He will pay the buyer a little extra to buy the house with magic stones instead of valis.
This way he will bypass the guild and deal directly with the buyer.
The problem with exchanging magic stones for valis in the guild is simple, Lioro was a level 1 and it was impossible for him to get that many crystals in a single day.
Which can only mean one thing.
Lioro was connected to the magic scroll seller on the 18th floor.
His secret identity might be exposed.
That's why he couldn't exchange magic crystal with the guild for valis.
Later the guild will of course find out about the fact that Hestia familia has bought its new home.
But at that time the situation will be different.
First, he doubts the guild will come to investigate but in case they do, Lioro can just lie and say the house was bought by taking a load from Hephaestus familia or something.
What? you want to see the written contract of the loan?
The fck you think you are? The government? Get lost!
Well if it all comes falling down then....
Violence will be the answer.
So yeah in short the three of them can't stay in the abandoned church.
Lioro went forward and started asking about the place.
After talking to a few strangers around Lioro managed to find out the property belonged to Dian Cecht Familia.
While Lioro asked the friendly stranger for more information, Yoriichi stopped and looked to his right.
In the distance.
Yoriichi saw a white-haired boy.
In confusion, Yoriichi turned back to look at Lioro's head.
Also white.
Was there a connection?
Yoriichi moved his head to again look at the boy in the distance.
Unfortunately, the boy was gone, nowhere to be seen.
While Yoriichi was thinking, Lioro said from the side.
"Let's go and get the house."
Lioro patted Yoriichi's arma and went forward.
Yoriichi hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and following behind Lioro.
Perhaps he was thinking too much.

Inside Dungeon, 18th floor Riveria.
Ottar from the Freya familia and Finn from the Lolk familia silently looked at each other standing in front of a closed shop.
They have been here for two days.....
Waiting for the magic scroll seller.
