"You guys came really fast. I just sent out my invitation."
At the branch office of the community "Thousand Eyes," Leticia, using a folding fan to cover half of her face, looked at Izayoi and the others with great surprise.
"Because it's really too boring. For a whole month, we couldn't run around or go out because of Black Rabbit's request, and we haven't even done many Gift Games."
To Leticia's question, Izayoi shrugged and said this with great dissatisfaction.
"Well, since you've come, then according to the agreement, I can send you to the North District for free."
"Hooray!" Hearing Leticia's words, the problem children cheered and celebrated.
"Of course, I didn't call you here to let you play. Because there's a high possibility that something will happen at the Fire Dragon Birth Festival, this time it's also a request from me, as a Floor Master, to your 'No Name' community."
"Of course, this is also a rare opportunity. It's a great opportunity for you 'No Name' to make a name for yourselves." Looking at the celebrating problem children, Leticia covered her mouth and chuckled again.
"Could it be a Maou? This old man is about to rust from staying here. I've wanted to find a Maou to have a good fight with for a long time."
As the leader of the community, Jin Russell's expression still seemed a bit scared and flustered, but Izayoi didn't care at all. On the contrary, he shouted excitedly.
"Your subordinates are very motivated. So, what do you think, 'Jin-kakka'?"
Although Izayoi agreed very happily, Leticia's gaze still fell on Jin, who was the leader of the community.
"Ye...Yes! We are happy to accept!" Seeing Jin nod, Leticia nodded with satisfaction, and began to explain while tapping her pipe.
"Alright, then where should I start...Hmm, first of all, how much do you know about Floor Masters?"
"I don't know anything at all."
"Me neither."
"Same."
"As for 'Floor Masters', they are the guardians of Little Garden's order..."
The three problem children's straightforward answers made Jin show a somewhat wry smile. Then, he began to explain slowly.
Floor Masters have many responsibilities. The most important task is to be responsible for the division or transfer of land within the Little Garden city; and to hold games to test whether lower-level communities are qualified to transfer to higher levels, and so on.
And when a disaster that disrupts order, that is, a Maou, appears, Floor Masters have an obligation to take the lead in battle. In return, they are given enormous power and the highest level of privilege, "Host Authority."
"...Well, as Jin-kun said, this joint festival is being held for the succession of one of the Floor Masters of the North District, 'Salamandra'."
"Salamandra?"
Jin muttered this, showing a somewhat bitter expression.
"Do you know them?"
"Sort of. We used to have a pretty good relationship with 'Salamandra'...I didn't expect that they've already changed leaders. So, who is the current leader?"
Jin, who was surprised and lowered his head, asked this in a murmur.
"The current leader is my daughter——Sandora, who has inherited the name of the Fire Dragon."
"Sandora-chan?! You're kidding. She's only eleven years old!"
"Well, didn't you become the leader of No Name at the age of eleven too, Jin?"
"That's not the same...A mere No Name...You need to know that the community 'Salamandra' is a Floor Master."
Jin said this with a wry smile, and then Izayoi knocked him on the head unhappily.
"That won't do, Little Adult. If even you, as the leader, look down on your own community, then what are we talking about reclaiming the flag and rescuing our companions for?"
"I'm sorry, Izayoi-kun."
"Izayoi-kun is right. As the leader of No Name, Jin, you can't be self-deprecating."
Leticia also said this, and Jin nodded forcefully and cheered up.
"This Birth Festival is also the debut show for Sandora, the next Floor Master of the North District. But because she's still young, she asked me, the Floor Master of the East District, to be the co-host."
"Oh my, that's a strange approach. There are other Floor Masters in the North District, right? Then wouldn't it be better to ask those communities to hold the festival together?"
"Well...That's true." Leticia suddenly became hesitant.
"Some organizations don't like young people in power——something like that?"
"Yeah...It's about like that."
"That's rough." Asuka's expression instantly twisted unhappily. Having experienced it many times, she was particularly sensitive to this kind of thing.
"Well, actually there are many things to talk about this time. First of all, about that request, take a look at this letter."
Saying this, Leticia took out a letter from her kimono and handed it over.
"This letter contains the reason why I'm asking you to do this...You can confirm it with your own eyes."
"This is...A warning letter about a Maou attack?"
Looking at the letter in his hand, Izayoi said this in surprise.
"That's right. This is the result of one of the executives of 'Summoning Eyes' foreseeing the future."
"Foreseeing the future?" Hearing this word, Izayoi showed an interested expression again.
"Yes. As you know, we 'Summoning Eyes' have many members who possess Gifts with special 'Demon Eyes'. And among the various observers, there are also people who can provide 'future information' as a Gift. As for the gift that that guy gave to this Birth Festival, it's this prophecy of a 'Maou attack'."
"I see. So it's a gift called a prophecy. Then is this prophecy accurate?"
"It's basically never wrong, because it was sent by Laplace's Demon."
Speaking of this, Leticia couldn't help but take a few more looks at Izayoi, probably because his Gift, "Unknown Genome," was so enigmatic that even Laplace's paper couldn't discern it, or perhaps he had already obtained something through Laplace's prophecy.
"It's actually the all-knowing Laplace's Demon!?"
Jin showed a surprised look. He was very clear about the great name of this demon.
"So the content of the request is indeed related to the Maou. What do you want us to do? Take the Maou's head?"
"You don't need to take risks. You just need to be responsible for the opening act and help 'Salamandra' solve the Maou's game. As for the Maou, with me, the Floor Master of the East District, as a witness, who would dare to be presumptuous!"
To Izayoi's question, Leticia smiled slightly, revealing an incredibly confident expression, and replied like this.
