Eriri frowned as Gabriel continued staring at her intently.
"…Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not lending you any money," Eriri said flatly.
"And even if you had money in this world, what would you spend it on?"
"There aren't even any games here for you."
Gabriel pouted.
"It's fine. I can save it and whale when we go back."
The people around her fell silent.
This fallen angel was truly beyond saving.
Izumi rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Enough already."
"If you want money, earn it yourself. With your abilities, it wouldn't even be hard."
While they were talking, the guildmaster of the beginner town finally arrived.
He inspected the weapon Izumi intended to sell and decisively quoted a price.
Thirty million eris.
Izumi didn't even blink.
"Sounds fine."
He accepted immediately.
The moment the money was transferred, Gabriel's eyes turned red with envy.
Thirty million… just like that…
Too unfair.
After collecting the payment, Izumi turned and led everyone out of the guild.
Gabriel hurriedly followed after him.
"Hey, hey—teach me that skill where you create weapons!"
"I'll give you anything you want, just teach me!"
This was insane money-making potential.
If she learned it too, wouldn't that mean unlimited whaling for life?
Just imagining the lifestyle of a rich gamer made her heart race.
Izumi shot her down mercilessly.
"You're dreaming."
"That's my exclusive skill. You can't learn it."
"Give up."
Then he continued casually,
"And more importantly, Gabriel, don't you think this world feels a lot like a game?"
"You can fight monsters, level up, and learn skills."
"It's basically a full-dive RPG."
"And there's no gacha."
That last line hit hard.
Gabriel froze.
Her eyes sparkled.
"…You're right."
The more she thought about it, the more this world really did resemble a game.
Her excitement skyrocketed.
"Alright! I'm going to investigate everything!"
With that, Gabriel dashed back into the guild to interrogate staff about the world's mechanics.
Watching the fallen angel disappear, Izumi let out a sigh of relief.
Good riddance.
If she'd stuck around any longer, he'd definitely have been bled dry.
The others began gathering information about the world as well.
Izumi, however, did not.
He led the group straight out of the guild and toward another part of town.
Seeing him head outside, the others were surprised—but no one questioned him.
After all, they couldn't rely on Izumi for every single decision.
Still, Eriri and the others were curious.
Where is he taking us?
"Tohsaka Rin" narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Izumi.
For some reason, it felt like he already knew this world inside and out.
Was it just her imagination?
Or had he already divined everything through astrology again—just like in her own world?
Izumi always seemed to know everything.
Rin finally asked,
"Where are we going?"
Izumi didn't hide it.
"To find a house."
"You're not planning to stay at an inn every night, are you?"
"You'll be here for quite a while. Living in hotels would be ridiculous."
His plan was simple.
Get everyone settled first—then investigate this world.
Specifically, whether those idiots were here.
If Aqua was around, things would be easy.
Find the one-shot explosion maniac, throw some money at her, and learn Explosion Magic.
If he could capture a certain luck-based goddess, that would be even better.
Izumi had no intention of staying in this world long.
Once he got what he wanted, he'd leave.
He'd just leave a few people behind to watch over things.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
But as they passed by a construction site, both Izumi and Kanase Kanon suddenly stopped.
Their gazes snapped toward the same direction.
Seeing Izumi halt abruptly, Le Fay tilted her head.
"Is something wrong, Izumi-sama?"
Izumi nodded slowly, his expression strange as he stared at a blue-haired girl hauling bricks at the site.
"I want to kill her."
Kanon nodded solemnly beside him.
"Same."
The two looked at each other.
Then fell silent.
That level of divine presence… and she was doing manual labor?
At this point, there was no need to guess.
The only person who fit was that idiot goddess.
At the same time, Aqua felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
She turned stiffly toward Izumi's direction.
"Why do I suddenly feel like my life is in danger…?"
Just as she was about to move another brick, the NEET King, Satou Kazuma, noticed her freeze.
He followed her line of sight.
When he saw Izumi's familiar Japanese school uniform, his eyes instantly welled up.
He dropped everything and sprinted forward.
"WAAAAH!!"
"I finally found a fellow countryman!"
Crying openly, Kazuma charged forward, trying to grab Izumi's leg.
That uniform—it was unmistakable.
After days in another world, he had finally met someone from Japan.
But before he could reach him—
Izumi casually stopped him with one hand.
"You're the guy who died from getting scared by a tractor, right?"
Kazuma's soul shattered.
"…Huh?"
Everyone stared at him.
"Scared… by a tractor?"
That was even more impressive than dying to one.
"Y-you… how do you know that?!"
Kazuma panicked.
"…Did it make the news?"
"Does everyone know?!"
His mind instantly filled with visions of internet ridicule.
"No—no—no—NOOO!!"
Kazuma collapsed and started rolling on the ground.
This was too humiliating.
Even in death, he couldn't escape being mocked?
Izumi laughed with genuine malice.
Kazuma wasn't from Izumi's world anyway—just another Japan under this world's jurisdiction.
There was no need to explain.
Izumi shifted his gaze toward the trembling blue-haired goddess.
"Water Goddess Aqua?"
Aqua shrieked.
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!"
"That's terrifying—why is there a godslayer in this world?!"
Despite her low intelligence, Aqua instantly recognized the god-slaying aura radiating from Izumi and Kanon.
This was bad.
Very bad.
Why was there a godslayer here?!
Izumi grinned.
He snapped his fingers.
Aqua was instantly yanked into the air.
"WAAAH!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
"STAY BACK—!!"
