Under the boundless blue sky, the Tower of Babel stood in the central square of Eulalia.
It was morning, so there was a surging flow of adventurers.
"Wow — so many, so many!"
His silver hair shone in the sunlight as Bale observed his surroundings with a curious smile.
"Hmph, that's a lot? Misaka, who has been through a lot, is looking down on Brother Bell! "
"Ahaha, yes, yes, yes, Misaka Chan is someone who has seen the world. Of course, she can't compare to me, an ordinary person from the countryside!"
He reached out his hand and rubbed Misaka's head forcefully, causing the little girl to let out a cute whimper of pain.
"Let go! Be careful of electrocuting you! Misaka Misaka glared at Brother Bell in dissatisfaction. She was considering if she should teach Brother Bell a lesson like how Big Sister Kuroko dealt with Big Sister Kuroko with electric shocks! "
Shesta lifted Misaka up and gently flicked her forehead.
"You can't do that, Misaka. Brother Bell can't take your electric shock!"
Misaka twisted her petite body and made a face at Bale.
Bale scratched the back of his head and laughed foolishly. He then looked around and asked hesitantly, "Um, Miss Shaesta, is it really okay for us to enter the dungeon like this? I haven't even joined the clan tribe yet and received any gifts … "
"No way!"
Misaka, who was in Shesta's arms, quickly shook her head.
"I don't want to join those strange spawn tribes! Misaka Misaka despises Bale! "
"Gu …"
Bale sighed helplessly after being scolded by the little guy.
He was not like Misaka Misaka and Shesta who had superhuman strength.
He was just an ordinary person. If he didn't join the clan and receive the blessings of the gods, it would be impossible for him to defeat the monsters of the underground city and become an adventurer.
But because he was just a normal human, or perhaps because he was too skinny and weak, he was even less than a normal human in the eyes of others. Bale had begged several clans to join him, but all he received were rejections.
Yesterday, Bell, who had arrived at Oralie with Shesta, received thirteen rejections and returned to the hotel that she and Shesta were staying at.
Initially, he planned to continue looking for a clan tribe that could take him in. However, Misaka Misaka dragged him out of bed early in the morning, saying that she wanted to go to the Underground City to take a look.
Bale agreed to Misaka Misaka's request since there were many adventurers at the entrance of the underground city in the Central Square and he might be lucky enough to join one of the clans.
This led to the scene at the beginning.
He looked at the adventurers around him who were in a hurry and then looked at himself. They were all dressed about the same. Perhaps he was a little more simple, only wearing leather armor that protected his vitals and a short sword at his waist. No matter how he looked at it, he was the lowest level of adventurers.
"Three of you! Three people! The white-haired brother, the maid sister, and this little sister! "
An unexpected call suddenly rang out.
"Huh?"
The three of them turned to look in the direction of the voice.
She was a very petite girl.
He was about a hundred centimeters tall, and a cream-colored robe was draped loosely over his body. From the deep hood, only some maroon bangs could be seen through the brim of the hood. On her back was a backpack that was several times bigger than her petite body.
"Wow! What a big backpack! "
— Look, it's so big that Misaka Misaka even changed her strange way of speaking.
"Nice to meet you three. Although it's a little abrupt, are you looking for support? "
She pointed at Bale's backpack with her baby-like index finger.
Among the three of them, only Bale looked like an adventurer — but he was carrying his own backpack.
Obviously, he was a solo adventurer. The girl thought.
Only solo adventurers would carry their own backpacks.
"Do you need support? If there's support, adventurers don't have to carry their own backpacks. "
Her tone was half certain and half expectant. The girl looked up and blinked her eyes. She first glanced at Misaka Misaka and Shesta who was hugging her. She purposely paid attention to the twin daggers on the maid's waist. Then, she fixed her gaze on Bale.
Bale's mouth twitched awkwardly. He was not an adventurer yet.
"That, that …"
"Is it still messy? But the situation now is very simple! They're very important to adventurers, but they're few in number. They've delivered themselves to our doorstep! "
Contrary to Bale, the girl showed a bright smile.
Just like what the girl said, if there was a support in charge of backpacks, retrieving magic stones, and providing support during battles, the adventurers would have a much easier time in battles. Even the chances of survival in desperate situations would be greatly increased.
"That … You've misunderstood, little girl. We're not adventurers."
Bale lowered his head and said as if he was embarrassed.
"Huh?"
This time, it was the girl who was carrying the huge backpack who asked.
"But we're men!"
Misaka Misaka who was being hugged by Shesta suddenly waved her little hands.
"Misaka Misaka is amazing! She's amazing! Adventurers and whatnot are no match for Misaka! "
If Bale said this, the adventurers around him would definitely be dissatisfied and even fight.
But when they saw that the one who said this was such a cute little girl, the adventurers just laughed it off and treated it as a child's play.
"Not adventurers …"
The petite girl seemed a little disappointed and turned around to leave.
At this time, a commotion broke out in the central square.
"Look! Look! It's a member of [Hestia · Clan]! "
"Ahh! Is that the [Accelerator]? She's really a powerful adventurer comparable to the [Swordswoman]! So beautiful! "
"Ohhh! It's the [Lily Fairy]! There's also [Red Lolita]!! "
"My heart! My heart is filled with sweet lolitas! "
"Get out of my way, you scoundrel!"
The adventurers' discussion made Shesta and the others very curious.
Only Misaka Misaka's petite body trembled when she heard the name 'Accelerator'.
Then, she looked at the corner of the square in surprise.
Under the sunlight, Yuriko, who was wearing a luxurious black and white maid outfit similar to Shesta's, walked over with Flandolo and Yui in her high heels. Her footsteps were loud, and she was walking over with Flandolo and Yui.
The surrounding adventurers looked at them with longing in their eyes.
If they were still doubtful yesterday, then after being provoked at the celebration banquet last night and letting Yuriko single-handedly defeat all the members of a clan that was not weak, the adventurers who heard the news put away the contempt in their hearts.
"Yuriko!!!"
Misaka Misaka jumped out of Shesta's arms and shouted loudly.
Under everyone's surprised gaze, she ran towards Yuriko and the others who were equally surprised.
