It's terrible.

This was the only thought in Lili's mind at this moment.

The secret that had been hidden for two years was revealed without reservation.

What made her even more desperate was that Ron's words showed that he did not act on impulse, but had been paying attention to her for a long time.

In this situation, there is no way out at all.

"Don't be afraid, Liliruca Arde."

Just when Lili was at a loss, Ron's devil voice came again from the front.

"Although I'm not a good person, I'm not a bad person either."

"As long as you cooperate with my plan, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you."

"Lili understands."

She forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart. The girl, who had been begging since she was young and had experienced all kinds of despair, raised her head and looked at Ron with a determined face.

"Please tell me your plan."

"As long as you can abide by the agreement, Lili will fully cooperate."

"I hope you can do what you said."

Ron stared at the girl with pupils as deep as black holes, and spoke after seeing through her completely the moment they first met.

"My plan is simple, and that is to make you a trigger."

"This is the fuse that led to the Hestia family and the Soma family starting the war game."

"War games?"

Lili was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ron to have this purpose, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

As someone who grew up in this city, she naturally knew what war games were.

It was a large-scale game that required clans to apply to the guild to resolve disputes between each other and was witnessed by the gods.

but...

"Applications for war games usually require the approval of the Lord God."

"As for the Soma Familia that Lili belongs to, the main god is obsessed with brewing the wine of god and has handed over all the management rights to the leader."

"If you really want to do this, it might be a little difficult."

"No, it's not difficult."

A meaningful smile appeared on Ron's face.

"Don't sell yourself short, Lili."

"Your role is much greater than you think."

...

The conversation between the two did not take much time.

Ron's plan was thought up on the spur of the moment and is actually not complicated to explain.

For Lili, who has experienced all kinds of hardships since childhood, this is very easy to understand.

So, after asking a few simple questions and finding out all the details, the girl left the alley to carry out Ron's plan.

"In this way, the primer has been laid."

"The actual results that follow will depend on your performance."

Looking at Lili's receding figure, Ron turned and left through the alley.

"I hope you won't let me down."

...

The other side.

After separating from Ron, Lili quickly arrived at the base camp of the Soma Familia.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar mansion in front of her, she gritted her teeth, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Oh? Isn't this Arde?!"

As soon as she entered the mansion, a voice that she hated from the bottom of her heart came from not far away.

"Canoe-sama..."

Lili turned around and looked respectfully at the orc sitting on the sofa not far away.

"Long time no see, Arde."

Standing up from the sofa, the orc who was call Canoe walked slowly to Lili.

"I've heard from other members of the clan about your recent efforts to make money."

"You should have brought a lot of money back this time."

He stopped in front of Lili with a nasty smile on his face.

"Or...you hid all the money."

"But a smart person like you wouldn't do such a stupid thing, Arde."

"Lili didn't hide..."

Lili, who had been beaten up numerous times by the other party because of this incident in the past, shuddered and obediently took out a purse from her backpack.

"This is the money Lili made for Canoe-sama recently."

"Oh~?"

Shaking the heavy purse in his hand, Canoe squinted his eyes and looked at Lili in front of him.

After a while, he suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Haha! I knew you were a smart guy, Arde!"

"As expected, I like people like you who care about your fellow Familia members the most!"

"but..."

Raising his hand and patting Lili's shoulder, Canoe, whose smile disappeared in vain, spoke slowly.

"You should know that I don't like children who tell lies, Arde."

"That's really all Lili has gained lately."

Lili lowered her head, her body trembling like a quail, her voice full of sincerity.

"If you still need money, Canoe-sama, Lili can give you a news."

"Tell me about it."

"When Lili was supporting in the dungeon today, she discovered that a LV1 rookie adventurer had a second-level adventurer's weapon on him."

"Second level adventurer's weapons?"

Before Canoe could speak, a playful voice suddenly came from not far away.

Click~

The door of the room in the middle of the hall was opened, and a thin man wearing glasses walked out.

"Oh? It's Arde."

"I was wondering who brought such interesting news, and now it seems that it's only you."

"Zanis-sama."

Lili bowed her head and greeted.

The other party is the leader of the Soma Familia, a adventurer of level 2, Zanis Lustra.

Although the other party looked like a sensible person on the surface, Lili was not fooled by this illusion.

Putting aside all the past experiences, the smile on Zanis's lips at this moment, which is exactly the same as Canoe's, has already exposed the other party's bad nature.

Like Canoe, the other party is a real Hypocrite and despicable.

but...

Compared to the fear in the past, Lili felt much calmer today.

Recalling what the man named Ron said, she maintained her previous fearful look and spoke slowly.

"Zanis-sama, Lili came back this time specifically to report this matter to you."

"According to the information Lili has found, the adventurer with the second-level adventurer's weapons is a new adventurer who has just received God's favor not long ago."

"More importantly, the Familia that the other party belongs to was just established not long ago, and the new adventurer is now the only member of the Familia."

"oh?"

Zanis raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his face.

"Then, what do you want to express to me, Arde?"

"Lili, help you get that second-level adventurer weapon."

Taking a deep breath, Lili spoke out the request she had prepared long ago.

"As a condition of exchange, please allow Lili to leave the Soma Familia!"
