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

Hassan noticed Dao Hua and Welff standing on the edge of the crowd.

He walked a few steps to them, patting the elephant head emblem on his chest with his large, fan-like hand.

"Welcome to Yullari! I am Hassanar of the Ganesha Familia! I am in charge of maintaining order around the city gates! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"

"Are you here to register as an adventurer? Or to do business?"

"We've come to find a god and join a clan," Toudou Touka said. Gods are common in this world, so she didn't hide it.

"Looking for a god?" Hassanar paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Then you've come to the right place! Yulari lacks everything, but it doesn't lack gods!"

He scratched his head and glanced again at Toudou Toka and Welff beside her.

"Judging from your expressions, you probably want to join a powerful familia, right? Let me tell you, the most popular one lately is the Astrea familia!"

He then picked up the poster again.

"See them? They're the embodiment of justice! Especially my brother Lynn, that guy... he's a monster!"

Hassanal lowered his voice and said mysteriously;

"The guild's announcement only said he was LV3, but that's just an illusion! I heard that he leveled up directly from LV2 to LV3 in battle, and then used some unheard-of magic to reach LV4 combat power!"

"Those last three strikes, wow, I heard their power is comparable to LV6!"

Hassan spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.

A turbulent wave of emotion stirred within Toudou Touka's heart...

Level up during battle?

Use magic to enhance combat power?

This doesn't sound like the "blessing" system of this world; it's more like some kind of temporary ability boost.

"Where is that guy named Lynn now?" Toudou Touka asked.

"He's recovering from his injuries!" Hassan said matter-of-factly. "After fighting those crazy sisters, it's a miracle he can even stand. Besides, he's getting married soon, and the bride is this lady in the poster, Miss Kaguya!"

He pointed to another woman with black hair and wearing a kimono on the poster.

"The wedding is the day after tomorrow, and all the important people in the city will be there! Our Ganesha family has also received an invitation! I must go and toast my good brother!"

Toudou Touka remained silent.

She could sense that although the man named Hassan was boasting, the events he mentioned, and the heated discussion among those around him, were...

All of this proves one thing... a great battle that has just taken place in this city has shaken everyone.

And the man named "Lynn" was at the center of the storm.

A man with special abilities that allow him to break through level barriers.

A wedding that brought together all the city's elites and powerful figures.

This may be her best chance to learn the core secrets of this world.

However, a person capable of causing such a huge uproar must be surrounded by powerful forces and complex influences.

Is this a chance for her to find a way back, or a trouble she needs to avoid?

Anyway,

This information is still helpful in version 4.0, at least it has reference value.

“Thank you, Mr. Hassan.” Toudou Touka bowed slightly. “Your information is very useful.”

She led Welwyn, preparing to bypass Hassanna and enter the city gate.

"You're welcome!" Hassanal replied warmly. "Let me tell you, things haven't been peaceful in the city lately, even though we just won a great victory!"

"But those rats from the Dark Faction aren't all dead yet! You'd better find a reliable inn! If you want to go to the guild, go straight, see that tallest tower? Just follow that and you'll get there!"

"Also, there's no need to go to the Astrea Familia. Right now, the line of people who want to join their family is already outside of Yularia."

Hassanna watched them leave, scratched his head, and then turned back to his boasting.

"Thank you!" Toudou Touka said thank you again and walked into the city.

Nine-year-old Welwyn's palms were sweaty.

The streets of Yulari were a hundred times wider and a hundred times noisier than he had imagined.

He subconsciously moved closer to Toudou Touka.

Almost everyone on both sides of the street was chanting the same name.

"Lynn!"

"The Astrea Familia!"

"hero!"

The words were powerful, carrying an almost fanatical adoration, echoing in the air.

Toudou Touka walked steadily, her gaze calmly sweeping over everything around her, taking in all the information.

She could feel the unusually high spirits and the joy of victory in the city at that moment.

She led Welwyn by the hand and walked straight toward the towering white tower that stretched from heaven to earth—the Tower of Babel.

Hassanna's suggestion is spot on; if you want to understand the city quickly and accurately, the guild is the best choice.

The guild hall was bustling with noise.

The adventurers crowded around the mission board, chatting and laughing loudly, creating a festive atmosphere.

"Miss Eina! Where exactly is the Astrea Familia's headquarters? I brought the best ale from my hometown to deliver to the heroes!"

"I heard that Lord Lynn is currently single, is that true?"

"Stop dreaming! He's getting married to Kaguya-san the day after tomorrow!"

Toudou Touka stood quietly outside the crowd, listening to the conversation.

Her gaze finally settled on a half-elf woman behind a counter.

The queue there was the longest, but the employee named Eina maintained an impeccable smile and handled every task methodically.

He seems to be a very warm-hearted person.

Dongtang Daohua took Welff's hand and walked over.

She didn't queue; she just stood quietly to the side.

Eina noticed her very quickly.

After finishing the last file, she gave Dao Hua a questioning smile.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"We are looking for a suitable family to join us."

Toudou Touka's voice was cold and clear.

Eina's gaze professionally swept over Toudou Touka and the boy beside her who was tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.

A woman whose true strength is unfathomable, raising a child.

"Okay, please follow me."

Eina led them to a separate consultation booth and poured them a glass of water.

"What are your requirements for family members? For example, are they combat-oriented, production-oriented, or... do you value family atmosphere more?"

“Combat type,” Toudou Touka answered without hesitation, “but I hope for a stable environment.”

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Welwyn.

Eina immediately understood her concerns.

"I understand."

She pulled out several documents from the shelf next to her and spread them on the table.

"The most elite clans in the Yullari are the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia, but their entry requirements are extremely stringent, I'm afraid..."

Eina didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

"Secondly, the Astrea Familia has recently gained fame."

She pointed to the poster on the wall that had been plastered all over the city.

"They are a symbol of justice and the most coveted family among adventurers in the city. However, they are currently busy preparing for their wedding, and the number of people applying to join the group has filled the entire block, so they may not have time to accept newlyweds for the time being."

Toudou Touka nodded in understanding.

She came here not to pursue fame or fortune.

Rather, it was to find a way back.

Seeing that she had a lukewarm response, Eina recommended several other mid-tier clans, including the Hephaestus clan, which was famous for its forging, but Touka politely declined them all.

Eina was in a bit of a dilemma.

Although the woman in front of me did not show her strength, her composure was definitely not that of an ordinary newcomer.

But her requirements were very vague.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something.

"Perhaps... there is another option."

Eina pulled out a slightly worn file from the bottom.

"They are not large, and you could even say they are somewhat...poor. But the atmosphere within the clan is excellent, and the members are like family. Their chief deity is also a god from the Far East, who is very upright and deeply trusted by the members."

"Takemikazuchi clan".

"Buzz!"

It felt as if an electric current was passing through Toudou Touka's mind.

Takemikazuchi.

She knew that name all too well.

That was the ultimate secret of her swordsmanship, which she had not yet fully mastered.

It is the most powerful move that resonates with thunder deep within her soul, and it is called Takemikazuchi.

This is the god I'm most familiar with since I inexplicably came to this world.

The glasses on her nose seemed unable to conceal the sudden gleam in her eyes.

She interrupted Eina, who was about to continue her introduction, by leaning slightly forward.

"This is it."

"We want to join the Takemikazuchi Familia."

Eina was stunned.

She had prepared a whole speech, ready to introduce several other smaller families with better conditions.

But the other person made a decision after hearing just one name.

It happened so fast that it caught her off guard.

“Miss Toudou Touka,” Eina tried to confirm, “the Takemikazuchi Familia is currently…in a bad economic situation, and the resources they can provide are limited. With your abilities, you certainly have better options…”

"no need."

Toudou Touka stood up and bowed slightly to Eina.

"My decision will not change. Please tell me the address of Takemikazuchi."

Eina stopped trying to persuade her.

"I understand."

She nodded and began to write in the file: "This is the location of the Takemikazuchi Familia's residence. If you need anything, feel free to come to the guild to find me."

"Thank you." Toudou Touka accepted the address, thanked him politely, and left with Wilf.
