"I did not grant you permission to sit down with me."

 Gilgamesh leaned back in his chair, hands clasped, and glanced sideways, his crimson eyes revealing indifference.

 "Not everyone is qualified to pray with me. This is just a warning. You have three seconds."

 "Get up, magician."

 Kazuma Sato suddenly turned his head; something was wrong with this direction.

 Isn't this a comedic NPC?

 Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the golden notification on the panel and immediately stood up.

 [Operator, you have received a final warning from [Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes].]

 [Warning: If you do not heed this warning, you will be attacked.]

 "Hey, Jill, did you get impatient because I didn't let you win a single round?"

 Kazuma Sato stepped forward and asked.

 "Shut up! How could I, the King, be such a person!"

 Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh calmly said to Kazuma Sato, "You may sit down, but they must hand over what I deem to be of sufficient value."

 "Something of sufficient value?"

 After Gilgamesh finished speaking, a notification panel appeared in front of all players.

 The paid evacuation points have been identified!

 [Paid Escape Point: Starting from the second day, an NPC named Gilgamesh will be stationed in the church. Only by providing him with items of sufficient value can you sit on a church pew for evacuation. Sitting on a pew without permission will result in your ruthless elimination.]

 [Hint: Gilgamesh in the church, to show respect for Him and also to have some fun in the city, has activated a special state.]

 [Please note that Gilgamesh's combat ability in this special state ranks among the top two in the entire Fuyuki City.]

 [Live Stream Room]

 [Running Rat: "???"]

 [Wei Long: "Is this to offer tribute?"]

 [Rin Tohsaka: "No, this church isn't owned by him. It's free for everyone, so why is this guy in the gold jacket charging for seats?"]

 [Economics calls it "Damn it! NPCs are even extorting money, what a pure birth!"]

 [Ruri Gokou: "Where did this Gian come from?"]

 [Red A: "The oldest human, Gian, was like this; he was just a pure bandit."]

 Gilgamesh: "Hmph, what robbers? All the treasure belongs to me, isn't that only right?"

 [Rin Tohsaka: "Wow, this guy's hopeless."]

 [Kyū: "Indeed"]

 Enkidu: "..."

 [Running Rat: "I just want to know how much I have to pay to get out of here."]

 [Red Wolf: "How pathetic! Why not just fight back instead of handing it over?"]

 [Running Rat: "But this doesn't look like an NPC we can beat."]

 [Empty: "That's true. An NPC that can change the name of an extraction point and be recognized by the game mechanics must have the ability to force paid extractions."]

 [Zhongbang: "No way, can he really take on all the players by himself?"]

 [Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Well, it should be fine for now."]

 [Sheep Starts Up: "This is insane, seriously. I thought Sima HongP was insane enough, but I didn't expect... isn't this the limit of the AI? Even the super-powerful AI camping the extraction point has shown up. What am I supposed to do to save the soldiers? Isn't everyone in this game a soldier after it goes live?"]

 [Kong: "Don't rush, let's see how much this golden fat tiger costs first."]

 In a corner of the church, the players gathered for a meeting.

 Kazuma Sato asked, "Should we fight, or try it out first?"

 "beat."

 Misaka Mikoto twisted her neck, looking quite displeased.

 "I can help if you need to fight."

 "Bazette" began.

 "Then I'll call Cú Chulainn in."

 Makise Kurisu prepared to summon Cú Chulainn, who was guarding the gate outside.

 "We can't fight, at least not now."

 Ryuguuin Seiya glanced at the leisurely Mr. Jin: "Since he is an NPC recognized by the game mechanics, it's best not to fight him without any preparation."

 Hachiman Hikigaya suggested, "Let's try it out first... just how much of that 'valuable thing' he was referring to?"

 "Agree."

 "alright."

 "Then Kazuma, you should give it a try."

 "OK"

 Kazuma Sato collected various items and materials of varying rarity from his companions and came to the Golden Fat Tiger.

 He first took out a white Mapo Tofu and handed it over.

 Gilgamesh glanced at it with utter disgust; this was his most hated food, bar none. His voice was low and somber.

 "Dare to bring this thing before me? Are you prepared to be pierced by a thousand arrows?"

 Kazuma Sato then pulled out another [Dragon Fang].

 Gilgamesh shouted:

 "You bastard! This kind of low-grade material is simply an eyesore!"

 Kazuma Sato took out the Prayer Bow.

 The other person took it with great interest, examined it for a moment, and then handed it back.

 "This is alright, but not enough. It would be better if the class were a bit higher."

 "Interesting, is this a Mystic Code?"

 When Gilgamesh saw Sato and Shinichi take out the purple-quality [Awakened Will], he immediately put away his crossed legs, picked it up, closed his eyes, and felt it.

 “Very good, unique, and valuable enough to be added to my collection. One of you may take a seat.”

 "Oh."

 Kazuma Sato snatched the dress from his hand and continued with other attempts.

 Gilgamesh was also surprisingly patient, reacting to each item and offering his comments.

 Sato Kazuma quickly figured it out and returned to his companions, muttering to himself:

 "The lowest price is for the blue one, but the regular blue one won't do. If you want the best quality blue one, it will cost about 20 yuan per person."

 "In addition, only one person can be removed from each item, even for the very expensive Little Purple."

 "What a shame."

 "Does an NPC have to charge us millions?"

 "That's inhuman."

 Hachiman Hikigaya's deadpan eyes suddenly sharpened; he had only one thought after hearing it.

 I exploded with this gold pickup truck!

 After a serious discussion, everyone tried their best to take everyone's feelings into account and persuade each person.

 Finally, Misaka Mikoto took the final step, and with a wave of her hand:

 "Let's go! We won't stand for this! We're here to explore, let's see what's going on with the [Aeonium]."

 And they had another idea.

 It's like Kirei Kotomine going out of the church.

 This Gilgamesh will probably leave the church too...

 It's impossible to be here 24 hours a day, right?

 As Kazuma Sato and the others walked towards the door, a golden chain blocked their way just as they were about to leave.

 "I did not allow you to leave."

 Gilgamesh rose and came before them.

 Everyone turned around, their eyes flashing with barely suppressed anger.

 That's too much! ! !

 [Live Stream Room]

 [Running Rat: "Is this even a human?!"]

 [Du Qiaolai: "Is this some kind of bastard trying to force me to buy this?"]

 [Hungry Wolf: "Heh, what kind of Hero King is this? Does bullying kids make you a king?"]

 [Siduri: "Being fickle and acting solely on one's own whims is indeed something the king would do in his early days, sigh... (facepalm)"]

 [Iskandar: "That's what a king is like: unrestrained and tyrannical, burning, killing, looting, and conquering everything in sight."]

 Ying Zheng: "That's too low-level. Instead of creating anything, he only plunders and destroys. He's just a tyrant. How can he be called a ruler?"

 [Xiaolin: "I remember a very difficult supervisor I had before. He only cared about his own ideas, but thankfully he was transferred later."]

 [Erma: "If this turns into a fight, the outcome might not be good."]

 [Merry: "High probability of total annihilation, if it's a direct confrontation"]

 Enkidu: "Even though it's this kind of thing, Gilgamesh is really taking it a bit seriously. It's sad."

 How to do it?

 It looked like a battle was about to break out.

 Kazuma Sato's mind raced. If a fight were to break out, he would naturally side with his comrade; that was a no-brainer.

 The main problem was whether he could win; his intuition told him that he couldn't fight [Jill] in front of him.

 He glanced at the Command Seals in his hand... Should he use Command Seals to force a command?

 Although we have different positions... we get along quite well in some aspects, and it wouldn't be right to force a friend to do something.

 If I'm playing with a friend, I'll play fair and square, and I won't complain whether I win or lose.

 Suddenly, he thought of a solution.

 "and many more."

 Kazuma Sato reached out his hand to his companions, then stepped forward alone, approaching Gilgamesh.

 "Jill, you were just talking about something valuable, right?"

 Gilgamesh nodded slightly.

 "That's right, that's correct. Every word I've said is absolutely correct and I will not go back on my word."

 Kazuma Sato extends his palm:

 "Great, let's play a simple game."

 "Oh?"

 Gilgamesh turned his head, looking quite intrigued, and asked, "What do you want to play?"

 "mora."

 Kazuma Sato said:
