In the living room, Kaguya Shinomiya looked with her usual poker face at Artoria, who was desperately stuffing snacks into her mouth, and Daniel, who was sipping red tea in small sips beside her.
As for the other three, their behavior and the attitude they displayed did not look like humans no matter how one looked at them. Forgive her, she was truly a bit scared and did not dare to meet their eyes.
"May I ask, can I know who you people actually are?" Kaguya Shinomiya spoke, keeping her fear buried as deep as possible, her expression calm on the surface.
Crunch, crunch.
The sound of gnashing teeth came from those three women who did not act like humans.
It startled Kaguya Shinomiya so much she almost could not keep her poker face.
She had seen through the garden's surveillance equipment how that silver-haired girl summoned those terrifying monsters.

"Hmm? Want to know our background? That is fine, anyway, we are not from the same world, so it does not matter if you know." Daniel first signaled Albedo and the others not to be impatient, then waved his hand at Kaguya Shinomiya and replied.
"However, I can only represent myself." Daniel turned his head and looked at Artoria with a smile. "King, do you want to disclose your identity to them?"
"I do not feel that my name is anything that needs to be hidden." Artoria did not even stop talking while eating.
"Alright, I understand." Daniel nodded, then stood up. "Now, the one eating and drinking in front of you is the Red Dragon of Britain, the Knight King, King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon."
"I understand you are shocked as to why she is female, but there are so many worlds, it is quite normal for a few female King Arthurs to appear occasionally." Daniel paused slightly, then continued, "In fact, in Artoria's world, it is not just her who is female. The Roman Emperor Nero, the Japanese dual-wielding swordsman Musashi Miyamoto, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King Oda Nobunaga, the Bakumatsu swordsman Soji Okita, the Heian period warrior Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the Mount Oe Oni King Shuten Doji, and many others have female versions as well."
Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka were both looking at Artoria and Daniel with bewildered expressions.
They could understand the logic, but why did you give so many Japanese examples?
As for whether they believed it... are you kidding?
There was no standard of judgment, no source of intelligence; where were they supposed to judge truth from falsehood?
And in the end, it was even questionable whether the legend of King Arthur in their world was real, let alone having the real King Arthur pop up in front of them?
"Of course, the identity of King Arthur I just mentioned is already a past event for her." Daniel suddenly changed the subject and shrugged helplessly. "Ever since Camelot fell, she lost the status of King Arthur, and later had most of her humanity devoured by the divinity within the Holy Spear, so the one existing here now is the deity, the Lion King."
That is right, even though she had recovered the memories and humanity she once had as King Arthur, the consciousness that remained dominant was still the Lion King, who was a deity.
It was just that she had a bit more humanity compared to the previous Lion King.
"Oh... ho..."
They did not understand, but it sounded powerful. The amount of information was too messy, to the point where their brains could not process it for a moment.
This was pretty much the current state of Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka.
"As for me, I was originally just an ordinary human from Earth, but then I encountered an 'interdimensional travel incident,' and ended up as a Wanderer who could only drift between various worlds. I also met the Lion King on another interdimensional Earth."
"Right, my name is Daniel, you can address me as Mr. Daniel."
Still information that was hard to distinguish as true or false.
The eyes of Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka had already lost their highlights.
"Lastly, there are the members of my personal guard."
"Albedo, the captain of the personal guard, and members: Shalltear Bloodfallen and Aura Bella Fiora. As you can see, these three are not human."
"Speaking of which, I am the only human in this group."
Speaking to the end, Daniel shrugged his shoulders with a hint of helplessness.
"…Although I cannot verify the truth of the information, I will just trust you a little bit." Kaguya Shinomiya said, trying to pull herself together.
"Wait a moment!" Daniel suddenly interrupted her. "Kaguya, perhaps the easy-going attitude I displayed made you misunderstand something. The reason I told you our identities and names was not to gain your trust, but simply to let you know how to face us. After all, we just arrived in your world, and the four of them are coming into contact with the 21st century for the first time, so it is just to give you some mental preparation."
"I have a question." Kaguya Shinomiya was stunned by anger, then pressed down all her emotions and took a deep breath. "If you say this is your first time coming to this era, then why could Mr. Daniel call out Hayasaka's and my names?"
"…Ms. Kaguya Shinomiya, why do you think I used an 'interdimensional travel incident' to describe my experience, rather than using something like Artoria's 'other world' to explain myself?"
Daniel revealed a chilling smile.
"Or, would it be easier for you to understand if I used 'visitor from a higher dimension' to describe myself?"
Visitor from a higher dimension?
Kaguya Shinomiya's breathing stopped for a few seconds.
"Ah, do not worry too much. Even if I am a visitor from a higher dimension, among these few people, my power and threat level to this world are far inferior to these few beside me." Daniel looked at Ai Hayasaka with a half-smile. "However, I am also the one you should least provoke among us. After all, my temperament is fickle and eccentric, and I am the core member of this team."
"So, tell the bald guy behind you to behave, otherwise I would not mind making all the men of the Shinomiya Family disappear."
"Oh my, in that case, Ms. Kaguya would be the happiest, right? After all, the biggest obstacle between you and your sweetheart would just vanish like that."
Hair standing on end, cold sweat flowing, legs trembling, wanting to flee.
This was the current situation for Ai Hayasaka.
After all, the other party had practically named her as a spy sent by that old bald guy, Shinomiya Oko.
"By the way, Hayasaka, you should be using some communication or surveillance equipment on you right now, right?" Daniel asked, looking at Ai Hayasaka.
"No." Ai Hayasaka shook her head without hesitation. "If Mr. Daniel does not believe me, you can search me."
"No need for a search, after all, whether you have it or not does not matter to us." Daniel shook his head and replied.
"I was just indulging in my own bad taste." Daniel smiled exceptionally brightly.
After all, if he felt unhappy, he had to take it out on others.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was truly the style of Daniel.
