Tower of Babel, thirty floors.
The hall, which was originally as lively as a banquet, has now turned into a complete silence.
A large number of gods who originally had smiling faces now showed the same desperate expressions as Zanis.
"Fuck! I actually won!"
"No! Zanis, please stand up quickly!"
"Ahhh! Why did I lose!!!"
"A fake match! This is definitely a fake match!"
"It's over! I took all the property of the children of my Familia to suppress Zanis!"
"Give me your money back!"
...
"Humph! A bunch of idiots!"
Unlike this group of gods who exuded negative emotions, Hestia, who won the war game, had a big smile on her face.
"Loki! Hephaestus!"
"Well! I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"I've already told you, my child is the strongest!"
"Stop being so proud of yourself."
Facing Hestia who started to show off, Loki rolled her eyes without giving her any face.
"It's just winning a war game."
"My child can defeat a lv2 who is incredibly weak!"
"Tsk, I think you are jealous."
"ha?"
"I was jealous that I had a child as amazing as Ron, so I started to have strange hallucinations."
Ignoring Loki's reaction, Hestia replied as if it was a matter of course.
"How could there be someone as powerful as Ron! There is already one such unreasonable kid in the underworld!"
"If a bunch of kids like that show up, we'll lose all our face!"
"I think you are talking nonsense."
Loki, who didn't understand at all, rolled her eyes.
In her opinion, Hestia was completely too happy.
When the other person calms down afterwards, she will realize what stupid thing she said.
"Speaking of which, Hestia, why don't you go and make the final judgment?"
Seeing that the two people's topic was gradually going off track, Hephaestus on the side spoke up to remind them.
"According to the rules, after you win the game, you gain the right to dispose of the Soma Familia."
"This is a rare opportunity."
"With the help of this war game, the reputation of your Hestia Familia has been spread."
"As long as we obtain enough funds from the Soma Familia, we should be able to develop rapidly in the next period of time."
"Oh! That's right!"
After Hephaestus's reminder, Hestia finally remembered the important matter.
After rummaging around in her arms for a while, she pulled out a stack of pre-bound papers.
"Ron specifically reminded me that I need to submit this to the guild immediately."
"Um?"
Seeing Hestia's action, Loki seemed to notice something and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Hey! runt!"
"Isn't this the victory clause you prepared?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Hestia inquired.
"No...nothing."
After replying casually, Loki raised her head and looked at the magic mirror that had not yet disappeared in the air.
As the God of Trickster, she is much more observant than most gods.
Although this was just a small detail that Hestia inadvertently revealed, she keenly noticed something was wrong.
"With such strategies and force...it seems like you, little dwarf, have really found a treasure this time."
...
Loki Familia.
"Wow! That man named Ron actually won!"
Tiona, who watched the whole process, exclaimed.
"Aisi, how did you know he was so powerful?!"
"I saw him once not long ago."
Ais replied truthfully.
"Oh... so you two know each other."
The enthusiastic Amazon girl tilted her head, a smile appearing on her pretty face.
"Then next time you are free, you must introduce me to him~"
"Um."
...
Amphitheater.
"Why...why..."
Zanis's unwilling voice echoed in the ring.
"Why can't I defeat..."
"What a stupid question."
Shaking off the blood on his red sword, Ron looked at Zanis, which had been reduced to five pieces, without changing his expression.
"I would like to ask you, what gave you the illusion that you are better than me?"
"It can't be that these are just lies that Lili made up?"
"What?!"
Zanis' eyes suddenly widened, and he let out a sound of disbelief as if he had a last burst of energy.
"What's the meaning of lies!"
"What do you think?"
After looking at Zanis calmly, Ron walked past him.
"Before the verdict is announced, find a way to treat your injuries."
"The real 'good days' are waiting for you in the future."
...
"Ron-sama."
As soon as I walked into the stage corridor, a faintly excited voice came from not far away.
"Hey~ Good morning, Lili."
Looking at the elf girl hiding in the corner, Ron, who knew who she was at a glance, raised his hand and greeted her.
"Congratulations, the mission was successfully completed."
"Congratulations to Ron-sama for successfully completing your plan."
Lili lowered her head and replied in a somewhat panicked tone.
"Excuse me, is there anything else that needs Lili to do next?"
"That depends on your personal wishes."
Ron stopped and looked at the other person calmly.
"I told you, I'm a trustworthy person."
"According to the agreement, I will give you the title of Captain of the Soma Familia, and the same absolute control over the Soma Familia as Zanis."
"If you want to continue working for me, take over this position and help me manage the Soma Familia."
"If you don't want to, you can also leave the Soma Familia and choose to live the life you want."
"And what's your answer, Lili?"
"More than a week should be enough time to get the answer."
"Yes."
After realizing that Ron did not seem to be prepared to breach the contract, Lili, relieved, lowered her head and replied respectfully.
"I want to continue working for Ron-sama."
"I see."
After glancing at the hatred deep in the other person's eyes, Ron continued to walk out of the arena.
Just like Lili cannot be like a certain village chief who has maintained a positive attitude despite being bullied since childhood.
He also cannot, like a certain rabbit, influence those who have experienced misfortune with his sincerity and innocence.
The only reward he could offer was to give the other person what they wanted.
"Since you have chosen to take on this role, go back and wait for notification."
"I'm looking forward to your performance, Lili."
