The Gift Game between Roy and Black Rabbit began.

The children of No Name watched nervously.

"Black Rabbit, aren't you going to make a move?" Roy asked with a smile, seeing her hesitation.

"Considering this is your first Gift Game, I'll let you go first," Black Rabbit said confidently, hands on her hips.

While usually a bit clumsy, she was still a Planetary-level being—a formidable force in Little Garden.

"Is that so? Then here I come." A mischievous glint flickered in Roy's eyes. He had a—fun idea.

"Bring it on!" Black Rabbit nodded, her expression serious.

Whoosh!

As soon as she finished speaking, Roy appeared before her, a smirk on his face.

Black Rabbit, startled, leaped backward, her powerful legs propelling her away.

"Heh, as expected of a Moon Rabbit. Those legs are—nice," Roy said, his gaze lingering on Black Rabbit's stocking-clad thighs.

He vanished again.

Black Rabbit, still in mid-air, looked around cautiously, but he was gone.

As she landed—

Roy was already there, waiting for her.

He looked up, hoping for a…panty shot, but her skirt was…impossibly dark, concealing everything.

He frowned. This must be the Gift Shiroyasha had bestowed upon her—eternal partial concealment.

"Aah!" Black Rabbit, noticing Roy below her, yelped and instinctively covered her skirt.

Roy's eye twitched. There was nothing to see. Why bother covering it?

Black Rabbit seemed to realize this as well.

"You're strong, Roy. But I won't lose. I'm going all out now," she declared, her blue hair and bunny ears turning pink as her power surged.

This was her battle form—her Planetary-level power unleashed.

She charged towards Roy.

Whoosh!

She was incredibly fast, reaching him in the blink of an eye, her hand reaching for his chest.

Roy smirked and sidestepped, easily dodging her attack.

Black Rabbit lunged again.

They moved across the clearing, their speed too fast for the children to follow.

"Black Rabbit-sama and Roy-onii-san are so amazing!" Lily exclaimed, her eyes filled with admiration, though she could barely see their movements.

"Roy is really strong!" Jin said excitedly. Their community had finally gained a powerful member! Now, they had a chance to reclaim their name and flag.

Meanwhile—

The chase continued for a while. Roy decided to end it.

"Black Rabbit, are you ready? It's over," Roy said with a smile, still dodging her attacks.

"Don't get cocky! Just give up! There's no penalty for losing," Black Rabbit retorted, her competitive spirit ignited. She wouldn't lose.

"Is that so?" Roy smirked.

His speed increased dramatically. Before Black Rabbit could react, he was before her.

"Game over."

Roy's hand was on Black Rabbit's—chest. According to the rules, he had touched her first.

Black Rabbit froze, her face crimson as she looked at his hand.

"Aah!" she screamed.

Roy calmly retracted his hand, not a hint of embarrassment on his face.

The rules only stated that he had to touch her. It didn't specify where.

He had to admit, Black Rabbit's—assets were surprisingly…impressive.

"So I win?" he asked.

Black Rabbit glared at him, her arms crossed over her chest.

Roy, unfazed, continued, "Then I'll state my request."

"Not—that kind of request!" Black Rabbit quickly reminded him.

"I know, I know," Roy sighed.

"Be my maid for a day."

"What?! No!" Black Rabbit immediately refused.

"It's just—regular maid duties. No bed-warming required," Roy said with a shrug.

Black Rabbit sighed in relief. Just regular maid duties? That was acceptable. "Fine," she agreed.

Roy smiled, satisfied.

"Remember to wear a maid outfit."

——

"Roy, I've accepted Galdo Gasper's Gift Game challenge, as you instructed. The game is in three days," Black Rabbit reported, dressed in a sleeveless maid outfit with black stockings and long legs. She looked enticing.

Roy, observing her, thought, 'Black stockings are truly the best.'

"Roy, are you even listening to me?!" Black Rabbit shouted.

"Ahem… Of course. Black Rabbit, make me some tea," Roy said casually.

Black Rabbit's eye twitched, but she still went to prepare the tea.

"This tea is quite good," Roy commented after taking a sip.

"Of course it is—" Black Rabbit said proudly, then she remembered something. "Roy, this isn't the time to be talking about tea! Aren't you worried? This Gift Game is about No Name's survival!"

Roy calmly put down his teacup. "Relax, Black Rabbit. If we lose, you will be taken away. I won't let that happen."

Black Rabbit blushed at his words.

Roy, enjoying her flustered reaction, suddenly had an idea.

"I heard that the Thousand Eyes community can appraise Gifts. If you're so worried, why don't you take me there?"

"Sure," Black Rabbit readily agreed. She had been wanting to take him there anyway.

They left No Name's territory.

Roy and Black Rabbit walked through the streets of Little Garden.

The streets were bustling with people, and the variety of Demi-humans fascinated Roy.

The cat girls and fox girls looked like they had stepped out of an anime.

Black Rabbit explained the city's structure as they walked.

Little Garden city was similar to a human city. The seventh floor's outer gate was mostly populated by ordinary demi-humans with little power.

Galdo's dominance over the eastern outer gate was due to his underhanded tactics.

Even with his vampire powers, he wasn't even a Maou-class. He was just a—slightly stronger small fry.

They stopped in front of a shop.

"Yo! Black Rabbit, long time no see!" A small girl with white hair suddenly rushed out of the shop and leaped towards Black Rabbit.

Black Rabbit, seeing the girl, was startled and instinctively stepped back.

Roy, however, stepped forward and caught the girl.

Black Rabbit peeked out from behind Roy and gasped. "Shiroyasha-sama! What are you doing in the lower levels?"

"It's been a while, Black Rabbit. I came to see you, of course," Shiroyasha chuckled, then turned to Roy. "Who's this? Have you had enough of hugging me?"

Roy looked at the legendary Shiroyasha. She looked like a little girl, similar to Shirone from High School DxD.

But Shiroyasha's true identity was—extraordinary.

She was the strongest Celestial Star Spirit—wielding the power of the Sun and Star Trajectory Manipulation.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

She was also the leader of the Thousand Eyes—a large commercial community.

And a former Demon Lord.

She was a Celestial Law that existed before the concepts of Heaven and Earth, the "White Night Demon Lord" who reigned supreme over the Cosmo.

And one of only two beings to have held the title of sole Floor Master, the other being Leticia Draculea.

Roy knew that at her peak—Shiroyasha was the strongest being in Little Garden, besides the slumbering Azi Dahaka.

Why had Arcadia been destroyed after becoming the sole Floor Master, while Shiroyasha hadn't faced any repercussions?

The reason was simple: Shiroyasha's power made the other Demon Lords, Gods and Spirits wary.

——

To be able to interfere with the lower floors as a Floor Master, she had voluntarily lowered her Divinity—adopting the Divinity of a "Weak God" and gaining the trust of the other gods.

Roy, hearing her words, put her down.

Spirits had no gender, but Shiroyasha always appeared as a white-haired loli in a kimono.

She looked at Roy curiously. She didn't mind being hugged.

"Black Rabbit, you haven't introduced your…friend," she said.

"Oh, right! Shiroyasha-sama, this is Roy. He just joined No Name," Black Rabbit explained.

"A newcomer?" Shiroyasha asked, fanning herself elegantly.

"That's right," Roy replied, looking at the white-haired loli. A bold idea suddenly formed in his mind.

Shiroyasha—at her peak, was a Solaric-level being. But now, having lowered her Divinity, she could only access Stellar-level power.
