"This is also a second name that only high-ranking Adventurers of Lv.2 and above are qualified to receive."
"A symbol of status!"
"How about it?"
"Doesn't it sound cool?"
Loki raised an eyebrow with a mischievous grin, looking at the group of fledgling girls.
"Oh, oh, oh!!!"
Hanazake Warabi exclaimed in perfect cooperation, even clapping vigorously, her eyes full of little stars.
"Cool! So cool!"
"Then when I level up in the future."
"Can I have a domineering alias too?!"
Having said that.
Hanazake Warabi had already started imagining it in her mind.
"For example... something like the Tyrannical Bear Queen?!"
"Or the Ruler with Absolute Power?!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Tsubaki was drinking nearby and almost spat it out when she heard this.
She looked at Hanazake Warabi, who wasn't even as tall as the table, with an extremely complicated look.
Tyrannical?
Ruler?
With that build?
Seemingly keenly aware of Tsubaki's skeptical gaze.
Hanazake Warabi immediately glared at Tsubaki with dissatisfaction, like a bristling kitten.
...
"Then..."
"Do we come up with these aliases ourselves?"
Rin asked the right question, raising her hand with some hesitation.
"Come up with it yourself?"
Hearing this question.
Loki burst into laughter as if she had heard the biggest joke, slapping her thigh and roaring with laughter.
Heimdall was also helpless.
"Well~"
"How could we let the children of the Lower World decide such things themselves?"
Loki laughed enough, then waved her hand.
"This is decided by the gods at the God Assembly held every three months."
"Discussed one by one!"
"God Assembly?!"
This was another new term.
The girls looked at each other, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.
"Yes!"
Loki continued to explain, clearly enjoying being treated like a know-it-all.
"It's a gathering held by the gods every three months to list the Adventurers who have leveled up recently."
"Then everyone brainstorms together."
"Based on the Adventurer's physical characteristics."
"Or based on their combat style."
"And..."
Loki paused, the smile on her face becoming somewhat playful.
"It's decided based on the gods' mood that day."
"Huh?!"
"Mood?!"
The girls said in unison.
"That's right."
Loki nodded.
"After all, gods need to have some fun too."
"Although most of the time, everyone still chooses names that sound very imposing."
"But, well..."
"Occasionally, there are some rather special circumstances."
"Special circumstances?"
Kikakujuo Mary's hand holding the wine glass trembled, and the liquid in the glass rippled.
"For example..."
Loki pointed to a cat-person girl in the distance, carrying a tray and weaving between the tables.
That cat-person girl was grinning foolishly as she talked to a customer, adding a strange verbal tic to the end of her sentences, looking not very intelligent.
"That idiot cat named Anya."
"Although her current alias is the fairly normal [Chariot's Avatar]."
"But among the candidates before that..."
Loki lowered her voice, looking mysterious as if she were revealing top-secret information.
"She was almost designated as [Tone-Deaf Cat], you know."
"Eh?!"
Everyone followed Loki's finger.
The cat-person girl named Anya seemed to sense something, turned her head, showed a confused expression toward them, tilted her head, and her ears twitched.
"Meow?"
"..."
"That kind of name is allowed too?!"
"And there's more, there's more."
Loki had clearly opened the floodgates, raising a finger with great enthusiasm.
"Some gods, to satisfy their own twisted sense of humor,"
"will deliberately propose some strange and bizarre names."
"Like the 'Giant Slayer' title, only for it to end up on a dwarf."
"Or perhaps..."
Loki's gaze fell meaningfully on the mask at Rin's waist.
"How about giving you a title like 'Masked Freak'?"
"..."
Rin felt like she had just taken an arrow to the knee.
She subconsciously touched the mask hanging at her waist.
"You... you're joking, right?"
"That kind of name..."
If she were to walk down the street in the future and someone shouted 'Masked Freak'...
Rin felt like she might just commit seppuku on the spot.
"Well~"
"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry."
Watching the constipated expression on Rin's face, Loki burst into laughter, looking extremely pleased.
Teasing newcomers was truly the most fun.
