Alright! Time to begin writing my favorite LN!

...

That's all I have to say.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The place is Little Garden, Outer Gate number 2105380, Peribed Avenue, front of the Fountain Plaza.

A group of children were playing around in front of the stairs leading to the interior of Little Garden.

"Jin~ Jin~ Jin~! Why isn't Kuro Usa-neechan back already?"

"We already waited 2 hours in vain! I'm tired of this..."

The group of friends all started voicing their dissatisfaction, so Jin said with a slightly bitter smile:

"...Looks like it. All of you can go home now. I will wait for our new allies here."

Jin, the boy with unique characteristics - curly hair and an oversized robe instructed the children gathering around him to go ahead and return home.

"Then we'll go home~. It's tough being a leader, but still do your best Jin~!"

"If it's alright to go back, then tell us sooner! My legs are like a wooden stick!"

"I'm hungry. Is it alright to eat dinner without waiting for you?"

"Yeah. But don't stay up late even if we don't come back in time!"

The children started making their way home with a cheerful noise. Jin sat down on the stone stairway.

As a way to pass his free time now that he was alone, he directed his gaze absentmindedly to the people passing through the gate. 'I heard the countries created outside Little Garden became more active recently, but since this Peribed Avenue faces the [Edge of the World] there is not much going on...'

In Little Garden, the term [Country] was commonly used to speak about extremely large communities. There is a clearly defined [Edge of the World] for the world of Little Garden, but they say that in the size of the surface area, it rivals a sun. There is no way that much natural resource and abundant land would be left undeveloped.

The talented gather people and create a country, but at the same time there are many of those who do not possess any talent that start living outside the veiled city of Little Garden.

Races like Dragon-kind, Demon-kind, Mythical Beasts and Spirits all have largescale settlements outside the walls of Little Garden.

People with Gifts can gain strength in these cities outside Little Garden, then use those newly gained powers to once again participate in Gift Games inside of Little Garden.

If the people from the other worlds turn out to be useless, we may have to leave Little Garden and find a place to live on the outside'

Jin placed all his hopes and expectations on those new allies. Because a powerless Community can't organize Gift Games as a Host and can't participate and win in others either. Declined to a state where it can't even support itself. That means a Community's demise.

Currently, for certain reasons Jin's Community - except for Kuro Usagi - was only comprised of children below his age. Leaving behind the land they lived on since they were born and setting out for an aimless journey was something that he wanted to avoid at all costs.

"Jin-bocchan! I've brought new people~!"

Jin raised his head. Kuro Usagi and two other young ladies were walking on the road leading to the Outer Gate.
