In the end, Ryota chose the shoulder-carrying method, and brought Mine and Kayo back to the Tokyo Area.
Perhaps because he was too tired, he returned to the Holy Residence and came to his room. As soon as Mine hit the bed, it was like a puddle of mud, and she couldn't get up again.
She fell asleep in less than 10 seconds.
Ryota covered her with a blanket and left the room. Then he approached Seitenshi and mentioned about Senju Kayo.
Seitensi of course agreed and promised to take good care of this "Sage".
People with an IQ above 200, if they can be developed, will play an immeasurable role in the future.
In addition, the "new Cursed Child law" she proposed went against the public opinion. If she wanted to successfully promote it, she also needed to choose a few Cursed Child as role models, and it would slowly be accepted by society.
Since Kayo is so smart, maybe she will become her good partner.
After the problem was solved, Ryota found Kiritsugu.
After a night's rest, Kiritsugu had recovered his physical strength and was ready to fight at any moment.
But just as the two were about to depart, Manaka joined in as if joining in on the fun, saying that she would be participating in the act of killing Gastrea.
Ryota originally wanted to turn it down.
After all, even if Manaka knows how to use a firearm, her skills must be poor.
Maybe not as good as her marksmanship.
But when Manaka fired a magic cannon from her fingertip, easily blowing a piece of the wall to smithereens, and the wall was still damaged, Ryota wisely shut his mouth.
He thought he saw Aozaki Aoko.
Although due to the problem of magic power, this kind of magic couldn't be used continuously for a long time.
But in the morning, it should be fine.
So, he set off with Manaka and Kiritsugu.
Since there wasn't much time left for the quest, the actions of the three were a little crazy.
The Gastrea outside the Tokyo Area once again wreaks havoc.
It wasn't until 1 p.m. that the time for the main quest was over, and the three of them stopped their assassination operation.
And both of them were a little out of breath.
Even for Ryota, after 48 hours of continuous fighting, it was too much.
It's not a matter of physical strength.
It was because the time of high concentration was too long, and the accumulated mental fatigue would overflow.
...
After a short break.
Ryota looked at his two friends and asked:
"I have to go back to the Tokyo Area, how about you? Go straight back to the safe house, or come back with me."
"Come back together," Manaka answered directly.
Ryota was not surprised by Manaka's answer.
After returning to the safe house, you must be back in your own world in another 10 minutes.
For people with special circumstances like Manaka, the more time she spends in the strange world, the better.
Given the choice, she didn't even plan to return.
For father, elder sister… what is that thing?
"Let's go together, there is no shortage of time."
Kiritsugu ignored Manaka's unfriendly stare and answered.
He had read most of the experience posts on the forums.
No matter how long you stay in the adventure world, it will not exceed 1 hour after you return.
Therefore, there is no need to rush.
He had been busy fighting before, but now that he was free, it was also a new experience for him to take time to see the sights of another world.
"Okay." Ryota nodded. "We only have one hour, time is tight, I will bring you back."
This time, when he faced the problem of holding and hugging, he didn't resist.
After all, the answer is obvious.
...
After returning to the Tokyo Area, Ryota did not go straight to the holy residence.
Instead, he chose to stroll around the peripheral area.
He especially wanted to see the living conditions of the Cursed Child.
As a result, if he doesn't see it, he doesn't know it, when he sees it, he gets angry.
Not all Cursed Child in this world are Initiators, and lives can be secured by Promoters.
Most of the children abandoned by their parents were brought to the outskirts of town, living in abandoned buildings or in sewers, and making a living by begging and picking up trash.
Begging of course need to go to the city where people gather.
But the people of the city are full of hatred for the Cursed Child.
Those who are kind and willing to help are only a minority.
So not many children can get food smoothly.
Some children were even arrested and beaten, and some even lost their lives because of it.
It could be said that most of the Cursed Child starved to death.
Died somewhere in an unknown backwater, remembered by no one.
Even their parents.
This scene made even Kiritsugu wince nonstop.
Not to mention that a person like Ryota who is more sensitive to emotions and has stronger empathy has long been filled with sadness and anger in his heart.
In the original work, Kayo sacrificed herself, but what she saved was a group of white-eyed wolves like this, she felt angry just thinking about it!
(I really want Scorpio to rush straight to the Tokyo Area and exterminate these bastards!)
Ryota couldn't help himself and cursed in his heart.
Unfortunately, he could only think about it for now.
After all, he was now unable to accept the continued life of the Cursed Child.
If done that way, there would be no saving effect except to add to the chaos and cause more children to die.
At this stage, he could only believe that Seitenshi, who had completely controlled the Holy Residence, could gradually change this social situation.
"Let's go to the Holy Residence."
Ryota held back his anger and said something to his two friends.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the first district of the Tokyo Area – the majestic holy residence.
Clad with opulent marble pillars, vaulted ceilings, smooth floors, and mosaic collage patterns... A landscape so different from the surrounding area makes Ryota feel very detached from reality.
The guards outside saw that the visitor was an acquaintance who had been in and out frequently in the past two days, so let them go.
The three of them came to Seitenshi's private room.
Mine is awake. After a good night's sleep, she seemed to be in a good state of mind, and reached out to greet Ryota and the others.
Seitenshi also greeted briefly, then said:
"I'm sorry, because this incident needed to be hidden from the outside world, so your achievements in defeating Scorpio cannot be shown on the surface. I can only express my gratitude to you personally."
"Do you think us people from another world would care about the achievements here?" Ryota waved his hand. "And I don't need the flattery and admiration of those idiots, that's disgusting."
"..."
Seitenshi was a little surprised when she heard Ryota came to say sarcastically.
What's going on here?
Why does it feel like anger?
"Shiro-chan is really angry right now!" Manaka reminded: "Because people here always bully children, it's too much."
Seitenshi guessed the reason from Manaka's words, and said earnestly:
"I will change this situation as soon as possible. Without Kikunojo-san's hindrance, the new Cursed Child law can be promoted immediately."
"You can't, the law that was just socialized is not as heavy as imagined."
Mabaka suddenly jumped in front of Seitenshi and said:
"Seitenshi, don't forget to send me comquests often in the future. With my magic, many problems you face can be solved easily, including new legal problems."
"Thank you for your kindness, Manaka-san."
Seitenshi first bowed her head in thanks, then smiled and said:
"As long as you don't mind trouble, you are always welcome here."
"Don't bother, remember to call me more often in the future. Otherwise, I will be angry."
Manaka reminded again.
Ryota glanced at Manaka, and this time didn't remind her of any precautions.
Manaka naturally didn't really show kindness, she just found living in a different world very interesting and not boring.
But...
It doesn't matter if the motives are impure, as long as the results are good.
She who wants to take the initiative to do something, has not been able to do it.
(I can only rely on others, my strength is still lacking... When I come back this time, I will complete the second bridge soon.)
Ryota made a firm resolve in his heart.
Out of the seven emotions, the one that fits his current mood might be "anger".
After returning, he had to concentrate on building the "Bridge of Rage".
After the seven bridges are completed, they will be combined into one, and the Military Commander System will be refined to the third stage – Military Master.
He will gain the ability to get what he wants.
At that time, there was no need to compromise with some idiots!
