Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

"Everyone is just waiting for you to speak, Loki. Why have you gathered the most powerful fighters in the entire clan? Tell us what it is all about."

"Or is it about this... newcomer who just joined the clan?"

"Eh? Finn, you actually figured it out? That's right, what I wanted to talk about was the Flame."

"What? All this fuss is for that newcomer?"

"I'm quite curious about that newcomer, right, guild leader?"

"Haha, that's true."

With Loki's confirmation, the Amazon twins regained their energy. Finn, who had been questioned by his twin sister Tione, chuckled and nodded. Then, he gently twirled his right thumb; the stinging pain in his finger still lingered in his mind. He wanted to know the truth behind this.

"So, is there something special about this newcomer named Flame, Loki?"

"My question is the same as the elf's."

"Me too, I have the same problem as Lady Riveria!"

"Hmph, just a nobody."

Riveria and Grace, the second-in-command of the Familia, took turns speaking, followed by the young fairy Lefia, and finally the werewolf whose dissatisfaction grew stronger. To be honest, when he heard Loki was about to talk about the new recruits, he already had the idea of ​​slamming the door and leaving. It wasn't directed at anyone in particular; that's just his personality.

"Little Ka, Bert, you'd better not let those words reach Flame's ears, or you might end up bowing your head and crying your eyes out in apology."

Loki sat imposingly in his chair, winking at the disdainful werewolf with a mocking expression.

"Huh? That's impossible!"

"No, I'm telling the truth. Blaze's abilities are strong, but not in the way you imagine. His abilities can even cause the entire clan to leap forward. That's the proof."

Loki reached behind him and forcefully pulled out a huge bundle, placing it on the ground in front of him with a 'thud.' The bundle's outer layer unfolded like a flower, finally revealing the items piled up inside.

The moment they saw the contents of the package, everyone present started breathing rapidly.

Because the package contained nothing but monster materials.

Furthermore, these were monster materials they had never seen before.

"Loki, this is it!"

The wisest little warrior opened his eyes wide. He had anticipated that Flame was hiding something, but he never expected that Loki would team up with Flame to pull off such a big stunt for them!

They are the city's most elite adventurers. For them, what do monster materials they've never seen before mean? They mean an adventure unlike any other, and likely one that will never be repeated!

"Hehe, scared, aren't you? Let me tell you what the flames can bring us."

Loki smiled smugly, then opened his arms as if to embrace something.

"That was a blue sea that no adventurer had ever set foot in."

A whole new world!!

Chapter Seven: Flamefire Village Welcomes Everyone

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts…”

The room was so simple that it had almost no decorations, with only a magic stone lamp hanging on the wall.

Lie Yan, who had been lying fully clothed, pressed his head and slowly sat up. Upon seeing his surroundings, he was slightly taken aback, and it took him a while to react.

Yes, this is the Loki Familia's residence.

I time-traveled yesterday, then joined Loki's Familia, threw a banquet, and even revealed my...peculiarities...

Damn it, what did I do yesterday?

However, time travel... thinking about it now, it really feels a bit unreal and illusory, even though it is definitely real.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Lieyan snapped out of his daze, and then a black hedgehog head popped in through the doorway. Upon seeing the awakened Lieyan, its eyes lit up.

"Mr. Blazing Flame, you're awake."

"Um, Raul, you came to see me so early in the morning because of what you said yesterday about taking me to register as an adventurer?"

This black-haired hedgehog is named Raul Nord, a LV4 adventurer. He is one of the two Second Army officers personally selected by Loki yesterday to be in charge of the lower-level adventurers of the Familia. During the banquet last night, Flame had already become acquainted with him and agreed that he would lead the adventurer registration today, and then take the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the dungeon.

"Yes, but before going to the guild headquarters, the guild leader instructed me to take you to see Mr. Blaze."

Raul nodded slightly, then, as if he had thought of something, added, "But don't worry, the captain is easy to get along with, so meeting him shouldn't be a big problem for you."

"I'm not worried. It's mainly other things. Since the commander is looking for me, I'll go over there first."

Lieyan smiled slightly, not noticing the change in Raul's expression, but recalling what happened yesterday.

He'd witnessed Loki summoning all the high-ranking members of his clan at yesterday's banquet, so he figured Finn's visit was about the portal. With the hero's wisdom, he probably already knew how to utilize it.

To be honest, it feels really good to have an external brain.

After quickly washing her face, Flame happily followed Raul to Finn's office. Along the way, Raul didn't just lead the way; he also took the opportunity to introduce Flame to the main buildings in the clan's settlement, primarily the locations of public facilities such as the canteen, library, bathhouse, and toilets—a very thoughtful gesture.

After delivering the flames to the room door, Raul quite consciously turned to leave. However, at that moment, the door in front of them made a soft sound, and it was pushed open. A being emerged from it, whose figure and appearance were as youthful as a child's, but whose eyes, as blue as a lake, were filled with the light of true wisdom.

Finn Timothy,

Raul instinctively straightened his back.

"Commander, I've brought Mr. Blazing Flame over!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Raul. Come in too, you need to hear what's coming next."

The Lilliputian hero chuckled softly, while Raul, whose name was called, tensed up and stammered "Yes," before stiffly walking through the door. It was unclear why he was so nervous in front of Finn. After settling Raul in, Finn's gaze immediately fell upon Flame.

"You're here, Flame. I hope it's okay if I call you that? How did you sleep last night? Did anything bother you?"

"very good."

"What about the food in the cafeteria?"

"I haven't eaten this morning's yet, but last night's was pretty good," Lieyan said after thinking for a moment.

Perhaps because they were serving the gods, the Loki Familia's chefs did make quite a few dishes, at least six out of ten of their Palico chefs' skills. Of the four points deducted, three out of ten were for the ingredients. Although the food and vegetables in the city were grown by the gods' family, they were still slightly inferior to the Pidgey meat that Tigrex would chase to the snowy mountains for, as well as various kinds of dragon meat.

As for the famous dumpling of Yanhuo Village...

Huh? No way, no one actually eats dumplings and hot drinks as a main meal, right?

Putting aside the question of whether hunters would have the strength to hunt dragons if they didn't eat meat, just the fact that they would need at least a hundred skewers of glutinous rice balls to fill their stomachs, given their large bellies, means that without the digestive abilities of someone like Huoya, eating a hundred skewers of glutinous rice balls would be practically equivalent to constipation.

"That's good. You should have already guessed it. Loki told us about your situation and that's why he's called you here."

After exchanging pleasantries, Finn abruptly shifted the conversation to his true purpose. Flame, anticipating this, nodded slightly and said:

"I'm ready."

"Then come in, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Finn opened the door, and what greeted Flame's eyes was a room full of familiar faces he was meeting for the first time.

Raul, who had just led the way, was one of the two officers of the Second Army who was separately named at yesterday's banquet to manage the lower-level adventurers. He was a black-haired, black-eyed catgirl named Anachiti Ottom, Riveria, Grace, Bert, the Diona and Dione sisters, Lefia, and a blonde, golden-eyed girl named Ais who looked at him with the curiosity of a small animal.

Apart from Loki himself, all the high-ranking members of the Loki Familia were gathered together.

In the center of the room, where everyone was gathered, various materials were neatly arranged on an expensive carpet.

Looking at these materials, Lieyan immediately understood.

So that's why Loki asked him to gather materials. And it makes sense; if it were just empty words, even with the Familia's trust in their god, they would inevitably harbor some doubts. But if they presented evidence, it would be different. Evidence would easily dispel those doubts and allow the discussion to move directly to the next step.

Just like it is now.

But isn't this a bit too much...? Looking at the crowd before him, for no apparent reason, Lie Yan felt a sense of pressure.

"Don't be nervous. Now that you've joined the Loki Familia, we're all family. I originally only wanted to meet you alone, but everyone's very curious about this new world, so we all gathered together. You won't mind, will you?" Finn chuckled and patted Flame's forearm.

"Of course not. Since the decision has been made to go public, I have already made the corresponding preparations." Flame shook his head slightly. The scene before him showed that the Loki Familia valued his abilities very much. This was exactly the scene he wanted, so why would he blame them?

Even if the entire Loki Familia were present, let alone all the high-ranking officers standing before him, he would still be impressed by Loki's, or rather Finn's, charisma, without feeling the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

"That would be wonderful. Could you please take us there to see your world?"

"Of course, no problem. In fact, that's exactly what I want to achieve."

Without hesitation, Lieyan chanted a brief incantation, and then a glowing door appeared.

"Come on, everyone, Flamefire Village welcomes you."

Chapter 8: Using fire as a landmark in the forest? Are you out of your mind?!

Without any strange feeling, after passing through the portal that emitted a faint blue light, the Loki Familia group was transported to another world and arrived in a forest, leaving their footprints in another world.

"Is this the world you're in, Blaze? The environment is quite nice." The little human hero, dressed in casual clothes and without any equipment, closed his eyes, sniffed lightly, and his keen senses immediately perceived the difference between this world and Orario. The magic element in this world seemed to be even denser than in Orario, and the oxygen content in the air was also higher.

"Wow! Ais! Look, what an adorable squirrel!!"

Tiona excitedly tugged at Ais's sleeve, her eyes shining as she watched the giant squirrel, out of curiosity, perch on a nearby branch to observe them.

"Yeah, cute."

A blush crept onto Ais's cool face, and she couldn't help but nod. Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, she was still very girlish at heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to associate Bell with a rabbit the moment she saw him.

As for the two elves, Riveria and Lefia, they couldn't help but show relaxed expressions. This environment reminded them of their hometown.

"That's right, the environment is nice, isn't it? After all, we hunters exist to protect environments like this."

Flame patted the thick tree beside him, then stretched out his palm and made two soft sucking sounds. The squirrel, which had been curiously perched on the branch, twitched its ears and jumped directly into his palm, extending its two paws as if begging for food.

With a gentle smile, he took a yellow seed from his bag and slipped it into the squirrel's hand, then promptly shoved the glutton into Ais's sparkling eyes.

Ais: "Oh—!!" (o△o)?

After touching the squirrel's glossy fur,

Ais: "Ohh ...

"Ais—, Ais—, let me touch it too!!"

Tiona's coquettish voice immediately reached Ais's ears. Although Ais was a little reluctant, she still carefully held the squirrel forward and shared it with her.

Then the girls all gathered around and couldn't help but touch the squirrel, which was almost three times the size of the squirrel they knew and was also unusually fat. Even the aloof black catgirl couldn't resist. The squirrel, despite being touched all over, didn't move an inch and just held the yellow seed in its hands, munching on the shell.
