A couple of days after finding the Storehouse, Touya and company were at the guild hall.
"Congratulations, Mr. Mochizuki, you have gone up to a silver rank," said the girl behind the counter.
"Cool," said Touya as he looked at his new card.
"Meanwhile, the three of us are blue rank," said Elze as she, Linze, and Yae stood together.
"And I'm a purple rank," said Yumina.
"Of course we're at the bottom," said Hildegurd who was with Sushie, Lucia, Sakura, and Leen.
"Why did I even have to join the Guild Association in the first place?" asked Leen.
"It'll help us out during travel to new areas, plus with a party of this size we can get better jobs," said Touya. He then heard some people talking about him from the groups of other adventures.
"I'm still getting judged for this group," thought Touya with a saddened expression. Later that day, as he was laying on his bed at the mansion.
"It's been a while, God," said Touya as he talked into his phone.
"Sure has been, do you think you can stop in for a second, there's something you need to hear in person," said God.
"Guess I can," said Touya. He then opened Gate, but before entering it, Elze, Linze, and Yae came crashing through his door, knocking them all into the portal.
"Sorry, I tripped," said Yae who had landed on top of the others.
"Looks like you brought some others with you this time around," said God as he stood before them.
"Sorry about this, God," said Touya as he stood up.
"Wait, did you say God?" asked Elze.
"It's a long story," said Touya. Later, they were back in the mansion talking with the other girls.
"So that's why you're so strong, you got a boost in your strength from God when he brought you to our world," said Leen after Touya told them the truth of what happened to him.
"I can't believe you're from another world," said Linze.
"I'm sorry for hiding the truth from all of you," said Touya.
"I understand why you did, it would be tough to believe this unless we got to know you, it also explains your smartphone," said Yumina.
"Sir Touya, I'm sorry for interrupting but an urgent letter has come for you," said Liam as he burst through the door in a hurry.
"It's from my father," said Yumina as she noticed the wax stamp on the back of the envelope.
