"So, what are your plans for today?"
At Haimo's words,
the girls, who had been distracted, immediately came to their senses and exchanged glances.
Since Sasamori Aya had already beaten them to it in that respect,
they absolutely could not let her pull ahead in strength, too!
"Lord God!"
"I plan to go to the Dungeon!"
At that thought, Onigawara Rin straightened her back, her voice clear.
"Since Senior Tsubaki finished maintaining our weapons and returned them last night, and we've all advanced to Level 2."
"So..."
Onigawara Rin's gaze wavered. She did not dare say outright, "while that Amou isn't here," and instead changed her wording:
"I want to take advantage of being in good shape today and test myself in the Dungeon again!"
"Me too."
Kikakujō Mary nodded as well.
"Although we've only just leveled up, now that we have Level 2 strength, we need to get used to it in actual combat."
"I also want to see how far I can go with my own strength."
For a moment,

Looking at these girls brimming with fighting spirit,
Haimo nodded as well.
Although their little intentions were written all over their faces.
They called it a trial,
but really, they simply did not want to lose to Sasamori Aya.
Still, this sort of healthy competition was not bad.

Miss Tsubaki had essentially only watched from the sidelines both times, without intervening unless something unusual happened.
Their combat ability had long since been proven in actual battle.
"Go if you want to."
Haimo nodded and did not stop them.
As their God,
