"Too bad..."
Inside the team headquarters, Ryota sat with his legs high in front of the bar and couldn't hold his breath.
"Too bad."
"... What's wrong with you? Shirou-chan."
Hayasaka mixed a glass of juice with the prepared equipment and placed it in front of her, and asked doubtfully.
"Mix me a glass of wine, thank you."
Ryota took a sip of the juice and put it down: "In the 29th year of Heisei, the legal age of majority has been changed to 18 years old, and I am eligible."
"How can you be 18 years old? You haven't even celebrated your birthday yet."
Hayasaka replied, she remembered Ryota's birthday very clearly.
"Sigh..." Ryota sighed again.
"Okay, okay, I'll get you a drink, just one glass."
Hayasaka turned around and skillfully mixed the wine.
She really didn't know how many skills she had accumulated when she became a maid.
"A glass of juice with ice, thank you."
At this time, Misaki came closer and stood beside Ryota, and said something to Hayasaka's back.
"No, make it yourself."
Hayasaka said without looking back.
"Really… then I will drink the cup you just made."
Misaki glanced at the cup that Ryota had just drunk on the table.
The next second, Hayasaka turned around and glanced at Misaki.
"Hmph… wait a moment."
After Hayasaka finished speaking, she reached out and picked up the glass of juice on the table, as if afraid that Misaki would actually drink it.
Misaki took the opportunity to ask Ryota: "Shiro-chan, what's on your mind?"
Hayasaka who was concocting a drink also pricked up her ears.
"It's not a worry, but I do feel a bit sorry."
Ryota raised his hand casually and pointed behind him.
There was the direction of the elementary gate, and he sighed and said:
"In the end, only our guild members will be able to travel through each team member's world. Even if they are not guild members who can enter, they will still return to their own world after leaving."
"Too bad?" Misaki wondered: "We can't disclose information in front of non-guild members and let them in. On the other hand, we must be careful. Isn't closure like this great? "
Ryota shook his head: "But that also blocks the option of saving itself."
"Save yourself?" Misaki asked curiously, "Who are you looking for? Which world?"
Ryota didn't answer, but just looked into Misaki's eyes.
Misaki was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted.
"You mean… Demon God!?"
"That's right, apart from the Demon God, in a world where this base can connect now, there are no other existences here that can save us."
Ryota's tone was mixed with regret: "And the Demon God's wish is to pursue a new world, so I think I have the best negotiating conditions with them. As long as they can be attracted to my world, it will definitely be of great help to deal with the evil god. "
"But…" Misaki wondered: "Aren't Demon Gods dangerous? According to you, the number of times my world was destroyed and reshaped by them is countless."
"But you're still alive and well, right?"
Ryota's explanation was somewhat broken: "It can only be said that the two evils are lesser. At least the Demon God wouldn't really let humans die, but the "reason" of the sealed Evil God would have caused this result. In comparison, Demon God is better."
"But what you said seems reasonable." Misaki asked a new question: "But, how did you find the Demon God?"
"Actually there are many ways," answered Ryota, "The easiest way is to wait."
"..."
Misaki understood what he meant, and stood up in shock:
"Wait...? You don't want to say… the Demon God will come to our earth in the future, right?"
"You are very smart, Misaki." Ryota smiled: "You guessed the right answer right away."
"Is this something you can laugh about!?" Misaki shouted even louder.
Immediately, she became slightly nervous, and subconsciously bit her right thumb nail.
"Don't bite, bad habits need to be changed."
Ryota took her hand and let go.
"Did you just tell the truth?" Misaki confirmed.
"Don't worry," Ryota shook his head and comforted her, "Everything will be fine, and the Demon God and Demon God will check and balance each other. No matter how many times destroy it, someone will clean up the mess."
"…" Misaki said speechlessly: "What kind of consolation are you doing? I really don't want to go back."
"It doesn't matter if you don't come back," Ryota reminded: "Now the base is connected to our world, and staying here isn't like going on a mission. There is a certain time limit. It doesn't matter how long you stay here."
In fact, there is no time limit to do the task.
For example, issuing the "Stay here for 100 million years" nomination task.
It's just that the points consumed aren't something that an ordinary person can afford.
"Oh ... is this a confession?"
Misaki raised the corners of her mouth and asked.
But Ryota's mouth twitched: "How do you judge that this..."
"Of course not!"
Boom—— Hayasaka forcibly put the glass of juice in front of Misaki: "Here's your drink!"
"Hehehe..."
Misaki smiled lightly, and took her cup.
Hayasaka placed another glass of mixed wine gently in front of Ryota.
This was completely different from the previous rough action.
Showing her kindness and treating this matter differently, she didn't hide it at all.
"Thank You."
Ryota thanked her and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you actually know how to mix wine."
"I know more than that, Shiro-chan, would you take the time to try them all?"
Hayasaka gently combed the hair next to her ear.
Ryota swallowed his wine, subconsciously looking down at his body.
Hayasaka assessed from a corner, and found that Ryota seemed to see her leg was blocked by the bar.
Suddenly, embarrassment appeared!
Ryota, this problem is going to be difficult, isn't it?
To prevent herself from blushing uncontrollably, Hayasaka quickly changed the subject and said:
"By the way, Shiro-chan, I see that you've been very worried about the Evil God recently. How strong is that Evil God…?"
"I'm curious too."
Misaki, who was sipping her juice and showing a satisfied expression, echoed and asked: "Compared to the Demon God you mentioned several times, how is it?"
"I'm not too sure about this question. The Evil God should be stronger."
Facing the curious stares from the two, Ryota answered after a bit of thought:
"The Evil God I spoke of is not referring to the two who are currently rampaging on earth and spreading beliefs. They could only be considered as stronger monsters. For the True Divinity, the soul flows out through the divinity, and the 'reason' that is formed can infect and cover the world. Let's put it this way, the dominant gods that come out will continue to occupy souls, qualities, space and time, concepts, etc. From the multiverse and turning them into their own bodies. They would all become existences akin to god cells. The power of a god mainly depends on the power of his godhood, that is, the power of his own will, if it is secondary… How many "reasons" are covered, it will be strengthened."
This is also the reason why the new gods are often able to defeat the old gods when the thrones of the gods are changed over the centuries.
According to the theory, the old god is in the "chair", and his "reason" has covered the multiverse, controlling the general army of the multiverse.
In terms of power, it is its own "frame" plus the sum total of the multiverse.
The new gods only had their own "Character", and logically speaking, they couldn't defeat the old gods.
But this is an idealistic world.
A person's "character" – that is, the desire for power, was the factor that most influenced strength.
Of course, the battle of the gods also depended on ability compatibility.
That is, "reason" compatibility.
For example, King Mercury's [Return of Eternal Tribulation] belongs to the most shameless kind of "reason."
He can take the initiative to restart the world, return to the original point, and then eliminate the "cause" that will cause a certain existence to be born, and easily kill the other party in this way.
Even before he restarted the world, there was no point in killing him first.
Because if he didn't die in a way he recognized, [Return of Eternal Tribulation] would still be active, and the world would still restart like a file, being better than him alone was pointless.
Except stronger than him!
The most evil among the gods of all ages, the Evil God who destroyed the existence of the Dusk Goddess who ruled the world, and was sealed in the "Red Lotus Realm"—this god possessed the intensity of desires that exploded.
Destroy all existence with pure power.
Therefore, the possibility of [Return of Eternal Tribulation] returning to this Evil God is very high.
There is only one exception.
"If you look at it like this…"
Misaki frowned and said: "I feel that the Demon God can't help you much."
"Not sure."
Ryota shook his head: "And even if the Demon God can't deal with the Evil God, it's still no problem dealing with the two monsters that are now rampaging the earth, as well as dealing with the ghosts on the earth. This way, at least it would be much safer here. But... since the system had no loopholes to exploit, this problem could only be left behind. "
"If it doesn't work..."
Misaki thought for a moment and suggested: "When the end of the world comes, you might as well immigrate to my side."
"No, your place is too dangerous. I think the world of Manaka is still safer."
Hayasaka glanced at Misaki and replied.
"Shiro-chan just come here," Misaki pouted lightly, "Wherever you want to go, whatever you want."
"Don't say such pitiful words just yet."
Ryota has a headache.
Was he starting to think about running away now?
He is still struggling in the future?
"By the way, is Manaka not back yet?"
He looked around.
"When you went to pick up Kei, she came back once, then ran away again." Answered Hayasaka.
"Shiro-chan," Misaki suddenly asked: "Where did you just hear that information? Tokisaki doesn't have these things in her memory."
"Have you forgotten about Ming Hong?" Ryota explained, "She knows a lot, but she never reveals it on her own initiative, only when I ask her about it, she dances and reveals?"
The sound stopped, and Ryota turned his attention to the system light screen that had not turned off after being called.
The forum interface is being displayed on a bright screen.
There is a new message in the chat room.
Partners of Justice: "@Shiro. Sorry, I was busy before, so I didn't see it."
Partner of Justice: "If you want to come here, now isn't the best time, unless you want to go to Fuyuki City alone. I will let you know when I am ready for battle."
Shiro: "No problem, when you go to Fuyuki City, let me know one day before."
After Ryota answered, he turned off the light screen.
Emiya Kiritsugu was preparing for the Fourth Holy Grail War, and upon realizing this, his heart moved.
Of course, the battle is impossible to fight.
Now that Kiritsugu himself was facing the Holy Grail War with a salted fish mentality, why would he join in on the fun?
The goal, of course, is the Holy Grail.
The "Evil World" is condensed in the Great Holy Grail, which is the best food for opening the "Bridge of Evil" among the seven emotions!
Ryota is naturally willing to do things that save a lot of points.
He intends to leave after drinking the Holy Grail, leaving a healthy cup for the Holy Grail War participants, benefiting himself and others.
After the "Bridge of Evil" is completed and his power delivers the rounds soaring, he can form a team with the people in the team and go to the adventure world to collect points together.
The more you reach the later stages, the more emotions you need to collect for each bridge.
Despite the fact that he had saved 100,000 points now, it couldn't be certain whether it would be enough to increase the progress of the first bridge later.
He has to take advantage of the time to get stronger and keep scoring points.
"So, let's take advantage of these few days of waiting to practice the ultimate move of the Third Bridge, then go to the Type-Moon World, gather 'evil' emotions, return and upgrade the mind, and open the 'Bridge of Evil."
Ryota made a decision in his heart.
Going to the world of teammates wasn't something he could do casually.
Teammates must come to base first, then open the door to return, in order to connect to the world.
Otherwise, if he could casually pass by, everyone would have no privacy at all.
The other side.
Both Hayasaka and Misaki saw the conversation in the chat room.
The two of them were slightly taken aback.
Misaki was the first to ask: "Shiro-chan, is this 'Partner of Justice' a boy or a girl?"
Ryota: "..."
Is this what you should be most concerned about?
"Middle-aged uncle."
He suppressed his gentle mood and replied.
"Can I go?"
Hayasaka showed an excited expression: "New world, I want to see it."
"This isn't new, it's the same world as Manaka." Ryota reminds: "This is not the same time and space."
"What are you talking about? Are you refusing to go with me?"
Hayasaka asked dissatisfiedly like playing with a girl.
"But, Hayasaka, your school..."
"Ask for leave! If I'm absent, I'll make up for it when I have time. It's not for studying after all."
"So why do you still insist on going to school?"
"Hehe, Shiro-chan, don't you think it would be more tempting to add the attributes of a high school girl?"
Hayasaka winked at Ryota.
"Hmph..." Misaki next to him snorted softly.
Of course, she didn't comment.
After all, according to this theory, she was the more alluring junior high school student.
In addition, after the development of superpowers, her figure far exceeds that of her peers, creating this sense of immorality...the interest in Ryota is definitely greater.
"Seductive..."
Ryota muttered something, subconsciously glancing at Hayasaka's calf. Then he quickly retracted his gaze and replied: "If you want to go too, let's go together."
"Don't forget me, Shiro-chan."
Misaki took the initiative to remind.
...
When Ryota returned home, it was almost 9 pm.
As soon as he entered the living room from the entrance, he was stopped by Miyuki who had been waiting for him in the living room.
"Nii-san!"
As soon as Ryota opened his mouth, he broke the big news: "That's not good! Kei… she has a big problem with her grades!"
"Um?"
