A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

Eina nodded: "Indeed."

Lynn put the badge back in the box: "I just did what I was supposed to do."

“That’s precisely why this honor is so meaningful,” Eina said earnestly. “However, besides the honor, there are some practical benefits as well.”

"What are the benefits?" Kaguya immediately perked up.

Eina smiled: "For example, all the guild's facilities are open to you for free, including the highest-level alchemy workshop and library. Also, you can make suggestions or requests directly to the guild's higher-ups without going through any intermediaries."

These privileges sound very useful, especially for an adventurer.

“Oh, right.” Eina suddenly remembered something, “There’s one more thing. Captain Finn wants to see you, but he said he’ll wait until you’ve fully recovered.”

Lynn nodded: "I understand."

Eina picked up the pile of files again: "These are the latest intelligence on the remnants of the Dark Faction, as well as reports of anomalies in the dungeon. Although the main threat has been eliminated, there are still some follow-up issues to deal with."

She opened one of the files: "Especially regarding the whereabouts of Revis, the guild has been investigating, but so far there is no definite information."

Upon hearing this name, the atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.

That woman was the culprit behind Lynn's injury.

“But you don’t need to worry,” Eina quickly added. “The guild has strengthened the city’s defenses, and the Freya Familia is also assisting in the search.”

Lynn nodded thoughtfully.

That woman, Rives, will definitely not let this go.

Just as Eina was reporting the situation, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the compound.

"What happened?" Astraea frowned.

Celty ran out again, then quickly returned with a strange expression on her face.

"Um... there are a lot of people outside."

"Who is it?" Alexandra became alert.

“Adventurers, and some ordinary citizens.” Celty scratched her head. “They said they came to visit Lynn and brought a lot of gifts.”

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.

Eina smiled wryly, "I forgot to remind you, Mr. Lynn is a big celebrity in Yulari now. His heroic deeds in the dungeon have spread throughout the entire city."

"Heroic deeds?" Lynn was completely bewildered. "What did I do?"

“It’s a miracle that you fell from the eighteenth floor, killed Chardo and Alphia, and came back alive,” Eina explained. “And with the Loki Familia and the Astrea Familia all returning safely, everyone thinks it’s all your doing.”

Alexie's lips twitched: "So now the whole of Eurythmy knows about Lynn?"

"Pretty much," Eina nodded. "And as time went on, the rumors became more and more exaggerated. The most outrageous version I heard was that Mr. Lynn defeated Zagnat all by himself and saved the entire expedition."

"This is outrageous!" Maru exclaimed.

Lynn rubbed her forehead: "I just made a choice!"

“Anyway, you’re a hero to Yulari now,” Eina said with a smile. “So a lot of people want to see you and express their gratitude.”

The noise outside grew louder and louder, and it seemed that more and more people were gathering.

Alexandra, a member of the "53 Reading Club," walked to the window and glanced out, immediately gasping for breath.

"My God! There are at least a hundred people outside!"

"More than a hundred people?" Chunji was so frightened that she hid behind Lynn.

“And the numbers are increasing!” Alicia continued reporting on the battle situation. “I’ve seen members of the Ganesha Familia, as well as members of the Hephaestus Familia, and even the workers who built the Familia have come!”

Lynn wanted to get up to check, but Liu pressed her shoulder down.

"You are still a patient and cannot move around."

“But this can’t go on,” Lynn said helplessly. “We can’t keep letting them wait outside.”

Just then, Frilian suddenly spoke up: "I have an idea."

282. They came too.

Everyone looked at her.

Frillie closed her notebook and stood up: "Let them in, but in batches, no more than five people at a time, and each batch no more than ten minutes."

"Won't this be too tiring?" Chunji asked Lin En with concern.

“It’s alright.” Lynn shook her head. “Since everyone is so kind, I can’t let them down.”

Astraea nodded: "Then it's decided. Alexandra, go and make the arrangements."

"Received!" Alexie perked up and immediately ran out.

Soon, the first group of visitors was brought in.

They were a few members of the Ganesha clan, and the leader was Hassanal.

This usually cheerful man's face was now filled with excitement and gratitude.

“Brother Lynn!” He strode to the bedside, his voice choked with emotion, “I’m so glad you’re alright!”

"Hassan, what brings you all here?" Lynn asked, somewhat surprised.

“We rushed over as soon as we heard you were awake,” said 740, a young adventurer behind Hassan. “Brother Lynn, thank you! If it weren’t for you, we might not be back!”

“Yes, yes!” another person exclaimed excitedly, “We really thought we were going to die!”

Lynn waved his hand: "We're all partners, no need to be so polite."

“No!” Hassanal shook his head earnestly. “A favor is a favor, and we, the Ganesha family, will remember it!”

He pulled a heavy bag from his pocket: "This is a small token of our family's generosity. Please accept it!"

Lynn wanted to decline, but seeing the serious expressions on Hassanna and the others' faces, he eventually accepted.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the first group of visitors left reluctantly.

Then came the second batch, the third batch...

A blacksmith from the Hephaestus Familia brought meticulously forged weapon parts.

Some of the construction workers brought handicrafts made by their "53 Reading Club".

Some ordinary citizens even brought homemade snacks and flowers.

Each group of visitors expressed their sincere gratitude, and Lynn patiently talked with each of them.

Although he was still a little weak, seeing these kind faces warmed his heart.

Just after the seventh group of visitors left, Alexandra suddenly ran in, her expression somewhat strange.

"Lynn, there are a few... special guests outside."

"Special?" Lynn asked, puzzled.

“The Freya Familia,” Alexie whispered, “and a few officers, including Ota.”

The room fell silent instantly.

Freya Familia, the strongest Familia in Yulari, how did they end up here?

“Let them in,” Lynn thought for a moment. “Since they’re here, we can’t turn them away.”

Soon, Ottana's enormous figure appeared at the doorway.

The pig-man warrior, known as the "Ularian's Ultimate Weapon," had an unusually gentle expression on his face at this moment.

Following behind him were several executives of the Freya Familia: Arun, Hogney, and Gould.

“Lynn,” Otta said in a deep voice as he walked to the bedside, “How are you feeling?”

"It's alright, thank you for your concern." Lynn was somewhat surprised, not expecting this usually taciturn warrior to take the initiative to care about him.

“Lady Freya sent us to see you,” the cat-man Alan said. “She said that Yulari cannot lose such a hero.”

"You're too kind, Goddess," Lynn replied modestly.

Hegny suddenly grinned: "I heard you fell from the eighteenth floor? Interesting, very interesting!"

After chatting for a while, Ota suddenly pulled a small box out of his pocket.

"This is a gift from Lady Freya."

Lynn took the box, opened it, and found a beautifully designed ring inside.

The ring is set with a pale blue gemstone that emits a soft glow.

"This is..."

“A protective ring,” Otto explained. “It can protect the wearer from fatal injuries in critical moments, but it can only be used once.”

This is an extremely precious magical artifact, priceless.

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it," Lynn tried to decline.

“Lady Freya said she would be very angry if you didn’t accept it,” Alan said with a smile. “Believe me, you don’t want to see an angry Lady Freya.”

Lynn thought about it for a moment and finally accepted the ring.

"Please convey my gratitude to the goddess."

“Yes, I will.” Ota nodded, then looked at the others in the room. “Get some rest. Yulari needs you.”

After saying that, the members of Freya's Familia left.

The room fell silent again, everyone still immersed in the shock they had just experienced.

It is quite rare for the Freya Familia to visit in person.

“It seems you’ve really become famous,” Alexandra remarked.

Just then, another commotion broke out outside.

Celty ran in again, her expression even stranger.

"What is it now?" Alexandra asked.

“The Loki Familia has arrived too.” Celty swallowed hard. “Captain Finn, and Sword Princess and the others.”

"They're here too?" Alexandra's eyes widened.

283. You are too modest.

Before Celty could finish speaking, the door to the room was already pushed open.

A sharper and more professional atmosphere, completely different from the opulent and oppressive feel of the Freya Familia, instantly filled the entire space.

Leading the group was Finn Dimna, a short man who was impossible to ignore.

His face, which always wore a warm smile, now held a hint of inquiry.

Behind him stood the lavish array of Loki's Familia.

Ais Wallenstein, the "Sword Princess," is dressed in light blue armor and has a blank expression.

Holding a staff, the serene and composed "Nine Demon Princesses" Rivia Rios Alf...

“Looks like we’re not too late.” Finn’s gaze swept across the room, finally settling on Lynn, who was reclining on the bed. “She’s recovering faster than I expected.”

"Commander Finn." Lynn nodded, which was considered a greeting.

His gaze met that of Ais Wallenstein.

This female swordswoman, hailed as the strongest in Yulari, simply watched him quietly. In her golden eyes, there was no hostility, only pure curiosity.

Finn walked to the bedside, pulled over a chair, and sat down naturally, his movements as practiced as if this were his command center.

“Mr. Lynn, I’m not here just to visit you in the hospital.” Finn got straight to the point. His smile remained unchanged, but his small, beady eyes gleamed with shrewdness.

"The guild has received your report about everything that happened in the depths of the dungeon. However, a report is just a written record, and I would like to hear your own account."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became serious.

Everyone knew that this was the true purpose of Loki's Familia.

They didn't come to visit the sick; they came to gather intelligence.

Lynn glanced at Riveria, who was standing behind Finn, and she nodded slightly to him.

He cleared his throat and began to briefly recount what had happened after the fall, picking up all the details he could.
