Urban legends come true!
Magic!
And that curious, ten-centimeter-tall fairy who popped out of the collar.
Is the world in front of me still the one I'm familiar with?
Kashiwazaki Shizuka felt her worldview shattered, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
"Teacher Kami, what's going on?" Kashiwazaki Shizuka steadied herself and asked.
Lu Li pondered, "It's probably the world's mysteries awakening. From now on, things like this will probably happen more and more."
It wasn't just the evil spirits in the world of Jiko's worldview, but urban legends as well. Even if more monsters and cursed spirits emerged, he wouldn't be surprised.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka was stunned, "Th-this... won't it become more and more dangerous? What should I do?"
"That depends on how Kashiwazaki-senpai chooses," Lu Li looked at Kashiwazaki Shizuka, taking in all her beauty, "You can pretend you haven't encountered this, or you can choose to join my Familia. As you can see, I'm a Kami. Farlin and Marusir are both members of my Familia."
"Familia?"
"Kami?"
Farlin stepped forward and softly explained.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka looked at Lu Li, then recalled what she had heard on the rooftop earlier, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
It turned out that Teacher Kami and Yotsuya Jiko weren't playing some kind of PLAy, they were truly a Kami.
"Please let me join, Teacher Kami," Kashiwazaki Shizuka immediately and sincerely requested.
Lu Li nodded, "Alright, let's begin. Farlin, you guide her."
Farlin nodded and softly explained the details of accepting the blessing. Kashiwazaki Shizuka listened, her cheeks turning red.
"I-it's actually going to..."
Although a little embarrassed, Kashiwazaki Shizuka prepared herself, lying down on the sofa.
Lu Li stepped forward, squeezing out a drop of divine blood, and imprinted the divine blessing on Kashiwazaki Shizuka.
"Ugh... something's coming in!"
"Don't get carried away!" Lu Li was speechless. It was just bestowing a blessing, but she started getting carried away. True to her nickname, Kashiwazaki Old Fatty.
As the blessing was bestowed, Lu Li's divine power increased by another hundred, making him feel very happy.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka's courage might not be great for monster slaying and leveling up, but just receiving the hundred points of divine power from a Daughter of Fortune was enough to make Lu Li excited.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka

Magic: 【】【】
Skills: —
Kashiwazaki Shizuka held her own data, then asked Farlin and Marusir.
"I'm actually just a blank slate?" Kashiwazaki Shizuka was a little disappointed, "I don't even have one skill?"
As a prodigy, it was hard for her to accept this.
Lu Li was not surprised at all, "This is actually quite normal. Those with skills are the minority. Whether it's skills or magic, they are things that are generated from the most intense desires in the hearts of adventurers. Senpai, you've been so lazy, what intense desires do you have?"
Kashiwazaki Shizuka was stunned.
It really was like that!
Because of her outstanding talent, even if she slept through every class, she could still maintain first place in her grade.
She even had the energy to write light novels.
You could say that Kashiwazaki Shizuka's academic career was quite boring.
As for desires, she had none.
Because she already felt invincible.
"Alright, Farlin, let's go."
Kashiwazaki Shizuka was surprised, "Where are we going?"
"This place is too small. We're going to rest in the Chiba countryside," Lu Li explained, "Kashiwazaki-senpai, are you going home or staying here for the night?"
Kashiwazaki Shizuka was a little afraid, "Can I go to Chiba?"
After encountering the urban legend, she couldn't possibly sleep here alone.
Lu Li, "Alright."
He cast a teleportation spell, and in an instant, a portal appeared.
"Let's go."
Kashiwazaki Shizuka was extremely curious, and she followed through the portal. It was pitch black all around, shadowy and indistinct.
Just as she was feeling scared, the light brightened. Farlin had cast an illumination spell.
Lu Li found the power source and turned on the lights in the house. The entire house instantly became warm and welcoming.
"We arrived in the Chiba countryside in an instant, it's really convenient!" Kashiwazaki Shizuka exclaimed, "Magic is truly amazing!"
Suddenly, she saw a lot of steel in the corner of the house and couldn't help but be curious.
"Why are there so many stacks of steel here?"
Lu Li explained, "That's what was left from forging weapons before."
Kashiwazaki Shizuka was shocked, "So much steel, are you going to make a lot of weapons? Do we have a lot of people in our Familia?"
"Not really," Lu Li shook his head, "Including you, there are only nine members in the Familia. But in the future, we'll definitely need a lot of steel to forge weapons. Right now, we're missing at least a few hundred tons of steel."
Kashiwazaki Shizuka was stunned.
Farlin softly said, "Lu Li wants to use Mithril to forge weapons. Legend says that one ton of steel can only refine one or two ounces of Mithril."
Farlin was not curious about Lu Li's ability to refine Mithril, because everything could be attributed to his status as a Kami.
It's not strange for a Kami to refine Mithril.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka's beautiful eyes widened slightly, "That's too expensive, isn't it."
Farlin gently nodded, "Yeah. But, Kami-sama is very good at making money. Before, in my world, he made more than forty thousand gold in a few days. In this world, it's roughly equivalent to forty billion yen. We're supposed to be the Familia and earn money for the Kami to spend, but unfortunately, we can't help much right now."
Forty billion.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka felt that this number was too unfamiliar.
Even if she became a best-selling light novel author, it would be difficult to earn this amount in her lifetime.
The three women chatted casually, their conversation mainly about their adventures in the other world, as well as the composition of their Familia. Meanwhile, they were making beds.
Lu Li was currently on a call with Yukinoshita Yuno.
"Ms. Yukinoshita, I need five hundred tons of steel. Your family runs a construction company, can you help?"
Yukinoshita Yuno was a little surprised, but she still agreed, "Anytime."
"Also, I need a villa. It doesn't matter if it's remote, the key is that it needs to be big. Your family is in the construction business, you should have information on this, right?"
Yukinoshita Yuno, "Of course. By the way, Mr. Lu Li, my younger sister, Yukinoshita Yukino, will be transferring to Funozaki soon, please take care of her."
"No problem."
After discussing for a while, they finalized the details of the house and steel, and Lu Li transferred the money directly.
Five hundred tons of steel, even if steel is more expensive in Japan, it's only about forty million yen.
The next day.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka held a long sword discarded by the Familia, practicing under Lu Li's guidance.
After encountering the crisis, Kashiwazaki Shizuka's lazy personality had changed, and she began to crave strength.
When she got tired of sword practice, she began to practice magic under Farlin's guidance.
Around noon, the Yukinoshita Group delivered the five hundred tons of steel.
After the trucks left, Lu Li cast a spell, lifting tons of steel one by one, placing them on top of the Red Dragon's heart. In a moment, he refined all the steel into Mithril.
Five hundred tons, just enough to refine fifty pounds of Mithril, less than the size of a soccer ball.
Kashiwazaki Shizuka exclaimed, "This little bit is worth forty million?"
