"After all, just look at her."
"This setup."
"Blind eyes."
"Quiet and well-behaved."
"Special red pupils."
"Plus this personality that turns bright red at the slightest tease."
"And this petite build that just makes you want to protect her."
"Little Tsukiyo is practically molded from the standard template of someone you can't help but want to tease but also spoil rotten!"
"Blind, quiet, red-eyed, loli..."
"Stack all these traits together."
"If I were a god, I'd be smitten too!"
"It seems..."
"our Lord Heimdall's favorite child has already emerged."
"From now on, I doubt anyone will be able to shake Little Tsukiyo's position."
"As for certain noisy little brats..."
As she spoke,
Tsubaki's mischievous gaze drifted back toward Hanazake Warabi, who had just recovered.
"they'll probably just have to watch enviously from the sidelines."
"Who are you calling a noisy little brat!!"
Noticing Tsubaki's gaze, Hanazake Warabi bristled again, leaping out of the water like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, ready to charge over and fight with claws bared.
"W-what's so inferior about me compared to Tsukiyo!"
"I have twin tails too!"
"And I have a chest! A big chest!"
"Pfft..."
Seeing Hanazake Warabi's flustered attempt to compensate with her chest,
the previously stiff atmosphere lightened up quite a bit from the commotion.
...
"Senior Tsubaki..."
"P-please stop teasing Tsukiyo..."
"The god just..."
"just encouraged Tsukiyo a little."
"And..."
"the god said that after we finish bathing, there's something even more important."
Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't help but lift her flushed face.
Then, as if remembering the main point,
she made her voice sound a bit calmer.
"Something even more important?"
As soon as these words were spoken,
the girls exchanged puzzled glances.
Hearing this, Tsubaki seemed to realize what it was. Seeing their confused looks, she waved a hand and explained:
"If I'm not mistaken,"
"I think..."
"it's probably to update your statuses."
Tsubaki pointed a finger at her own back.
"Level up?!"
As soon as these two words were uttered,
this unfamiliar term left the girls exchanging bewildered glances.
After all,
for them, who had only arrived in this world a day or two ago, many common concepts were still a blank slate.
"Simply put,"
Tsubaki leaned against the edge of the pool, explaining like a seasoned veteran:
"it's about converting the experience you gained from killing monsters in the Dungeon today into tangible power."
"After all, experience"
"accumulates in your souls,"
"specifically, within the falna on your backs."
"Only through a ritual using the main god's divine blood as a medium can this accumulated experience be manifested and transformed into solid ability parameters."
"That's what an update is."
"Most familias might update once every ten days or half a month."
"But you guys went from the 1st floor to the 12th floor on your first day..."
"it's definitely worth updating to see the results."
Tsubaki shrugged.
...
And so.
After about ten minutes, the bathroom door finally opened.
A gust of hot air mixed with a fresh scent wafted out.
'I feel alive again...'
'It really feels like I've been brought back to life!'
Rin hurriedly stepped out, toweling her wet hair.
At that moment,
she had changed into a comfortable cotton pajama set—this pale pink outfit adorned with cute bear patterns was clearly more suited to a girl her age.
