Obscene Ishtar

　　After the battle, everyone gathers at the ruins destroyed by the EA.

　　Hayasaka and Misaki approached Ryota for the first time, surveying his physical condition up and down.

　　The two girls were relieved that his clothes were only damaged and there were a few small wounds on his body, but there were no other injuries.

　　Trust is trust, but it is unlikely to make worrying less about your crush.

　　It's just... Apart from worry, the eyes of the two girls seemed to have another meaning.

　　Ryota could feel that Hayasaka and Misaki were secretly looking at the exposed parts of his body.

　　After experiencing several consecutive explosions, his clothes had long since lost their integrity. After all, the time barrier protection of the [Time River Immortality] didn't include clothing.

　　It is necessary to reach the Fourth Bridge, after which the mind can directly act in the world outside the body. So... he has a lot of exposed skin now.

　　Well defined muscles are also clearly visible. Seeing this, Misaki and Hayasaka blushed slightly. But neither of them have any self-awareness, and they think that's normal.

　　"cough..."

　　Ryota couldn't hold back his cough and reminded them both. Unfortunately, these instructions were not communicated.

　　"Shiro-chan, are you uncomfortable?" Hayasaka asked.

　　"... No." Ryota shook his head.

　　"Would you like to change into a suit and wear it yourself?"

　　Hayasaka made a serious suggestion, she wasn't the only girl present.

　　Men don't want the women they like to show their skin and be seen by others, in this case, women have the same possessive nature.

　　"This suggestion is not bad. I don't want a captain I want to recognize as a man who likes to be naked."

　　Before Ryota could say anything, Ishtar jumped out and complained.

　　"Hayasaka…" Ryota said speechlessly: "I'm not a god, how can I casually make clothes to wear? And..." He then looked at Ishtar: "What kind of face do you say other people are naked?"

　　——Just because of you, the woman who wears sexy underwear outside?

　　Ryota didn't say the last sentence.

　　"Hah? It's a goddess costume, please don't look at it with a dirty mind, okay?"

　　Ishtar gave a slightly disdainful look.

　　"Hehehe..."

　　Ryota doesn't continue to argue with the goddess of double standards. Compared to this, there was something else that deserved his attention.

　　"Ishtar, what were you saying just now… I can understand that you are willing to join my team and acknowledge that I am the captain?"

　　"Ah ... that's right." Ishtar waved her hand and said: "As a goddess, you must be trustworthy. I have witnessed your power. You can kill Gilgamesh casually, and it's fine to be directly attacked by his EA... I have to admit that your strength has already surpassed that of the Servant category. Possible..."

　　After giving it some thought, she proudly remarked: "Probably weaker than this goddess in her prime. As a captain, you barely qualify."

　　Ryota did not refute this sentence.

　　During Ishtar's heyday, her strength was at the level of a primeval god. She can use the powers of the gods at will, and with Gugalanna.

　　It couldn't be measured by combat effectiveness when relying on others now.

　　"Actually, you don't need to care about my strength," said Ryota, "As I said, my advantage lies in intelligence, which can fully support our adventure process. And..."

　　Smiling lightly, Ryota said confidently: "Strength isn't static. Perhaps in a few months, my strength will reach the level you desire."

　　"Huh... you're not afraid to stick out your tongue when you talk big." Ishtar pouted.

　　At this time, Hayasaka patted lightly: "Shiro-chan, don't you really need to change your clothes?"

　　"Hmm... I almost forgot." Ryota lowered his head and glanced at himself, it was indeed quite terrifying.

　　He didn't even have shoes, so he was still barefoot.

　　"This is all Ishtar's fault. With her in comparison, I don't even feel weird now."

　　"Shut up!" Shouted Ishtar blushing: "I said it! Don't look at the goddess' clothes with dirty thoughts!"

　　"Then why are you blushing?" Ryota asked.

　　"Blush...!?"

　　Ishtar quickly touched her cheek and found that it was indeed a little hot. For a moment, she suddenly felt a sense of humiliation.

　　"Tsk… This isn't the real me, you know ownership right? I've merged with this body and soul, that's why I'm like this."

　　"No need to explain," Ryota comforted, "I understand, I understand."

　　"You know what...!"

　　Ishtar stamped her feet and took a quick breath.

　　What happened... Why did she feel like she was always making a fuss and getting angry over trivial things?

　　I still feel embarrassed...

　　Seeing her like this, Ryota couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　　Really Tohsaka Rin... The end point is Tohsaka Rin.

　　Ryota doesn't know what kind of sparks will be created if Ishtar is allowed to meet Rin in this era?

　　"Okay, let's find a place first and discuss matters further." Ryota suggested: "It's just that I also need a change of clothes."

　　...

　　The time came after half an hour.

　　Everyone came to the mansion that Kiritsugu bought in Fuyuki City.

　　Ryota realizes that this is where Emiya Shiro lives in the follow-up plot. But the Fourth Holy Grail War was intervened by so many guild members, the plot had already gone to grandma's house.

　　Emiya Shirou... He won't appear in the future.

　　If the Fifth Holy Grail War ten years later would occur according to the trajectory of the plot. Somehow Hero Emiya felt when he came to Fuyuki City.

　　Was it because his wish came true, and then rowed all the way?

　　Currently, everyone was sitting around a low table discussing follow-up matters.

　　"Madam, how many Servant souls have you collected?" Ryota asked Irisviel.

　　"Why does Shiro like to call me madam?" Irisviel asked back.

　　"Ummm... Habit" replied Ryota.

　　"Habit? But we have never met before?"

　　"Confidential."

　　"..."

　　Even though she was confused, Ryota didn't want to answer, and Irisviel was able to insist. She can only talk about business:

　　"Four souls have been collected, Lancer, Berserker, Archer, and Rider. Now there are only three souls left."

　　"...No, just two more." Ryota kindly reminded.

　　"Hah? Aren't there three?"

　　Irisviel corrected: "There were seven Servants who participated in the Holy Grail War..."

　　Hence, she suddenly stopped, and quickly covered her mouth. Then turned her gaze towards Saber next to her.

　　Saber showed a subtle look, and met Irisviel's eyes.

　　"Sorry Saber, I..."

　　"Irisviel, accidental loss is fine."

　　Saber shook her head, indicating that she didn't care.

　　"The remaining two must be left to me!"

　　Suddenly, Ishtar tapped a low table, attracting everyone's attention. And she looked at Ryota, dissatisfied:

　　"You said before that you would pay me one, but in the end you killed four for yourself, and there was no movement on my part!"

　　After she finished speaking, she glanced at Saber lightly.

　　"..."

　　Saber understood the meaning in Ishtar's eyes, and immediately retorted angrily: "You bastard… If you want to fight, we can go out and fight now!"

　　"Forget it," Ishtar waved her hand, "We are now in the same camp. I will not be mean to my friends. When the time comes, I will let you go everywhere. What's the point of fighting?"

　　"Hate...!" Anger appeared on Saber's face: "I want to fight you!"

　　"Cough... Okay, let's talk business, and hold on to each other."

　　Ryota came out and became a peacemaker. He looked at Ishtar who was sitting across from him and said: "Don't worry, I didn't forget your quest, the remaining Casters and Assassins are yours."

　　Hearing this, Ishtar suppressed her emotions. However, still complained a little: "You don't need it. Why don't you wound the other Servants first and let me kill them? Four Servants died in vain… what a shame."

　　"..." Ryota said speechlessly, "I beg you to become a human! Ishtar."

　　"I am a goddess, what should I do as a human?" Ishtar pouted.

　　Ryota choked. Then he shook his head and said: "No way! You are not treating Servant as a human being. It's too insulting for others, I won't help you."

　　"Oh? You still have such a bottom line?" Ishtar was slightly surprised: "What a surprise."

　　"Who do you think I am?"

　　"Hehe, what kind of person do you think you are when you fight?" Ishtar asked back.

　　"Shallow!" Ryota replied: "Do you still have to be polite when fighting?"

　　"But it's not like you... forget it." Ishtar didn't think much of the matter, the matter was serious: "Do you know where the remaining two Servants are?"

　　This was something that bothered her even more. Although the release of her aura could attract Servants attention. But this is only for warriors who dare to fight, like Saber. If there was a Servant who couldn't hide and secretly observe and calculate, she didn't have a good way of knowing the other side.

　　Ryota glanced at Ishtar, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.

　　Ishtar really was greedy. Previously, she had only thought about how to survive the main quest. Now that the main quest was basically worry-free, she began to think about Servant...

　　Everyone has this greed.

　　"I don't know Servant's exact location, but I was able to find it quickly."

　　Ryota turned his gaze to his side, where Misaki was sitting: "I have to ask you to help me, Misaki."

　　"Does not matter." Misaki nodded "I also want to finish these things quickly. The purpose of my coming to another world is to take a walk. Japan in this era is quite interesting. We cannot allow the Holy Grail War to continue and delay our travel plans."

　　Hearing this kind of remark, Saber's mood became somewhat complicated.

　　The Holy Grail War, which she desperately wanted to win, was immediately classified by these people as a "trivial incident" that would delay the game schedule.

　　She didn't even know what to say...

　　There's one more thing – during the battle, Ryota calls out Lancelot's name to the Berserker, which worries her a lot.

　　It was a pity that everyone was discussing serious matters now, and she couldn't find a chance to ask.

　　She could only wait.

　　"By the way… what is this little girl capable of?"

　　Ishtar looked at Misaki curiously: "Could she speak with her heart, and find someone… so omnipotent? What more could she do?"

　　"Little girl..."

　　Misaki's mouth twitched, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

　　If Ryota hadn't always called her a little girl, she wouldn't have used her superpowers to stimulate and adjust her body to develop before, creating a figure that a professional model would envy, completely unlike a junior high school student should have.

　　Now someone calls her that again...

　　"So Ishtar is really old? How old is she?" Misaki suddenly asked with a smile.

　　"Hmph, what a low level provocative trick." Ishtar said indifferently: "The goddess is immortal, and humans care about their age."

　　"Oh, Shiro-chan, I suddenly don't want to find the remaining Servants, let's go out and play now shall we?"

　　Misaki pulled Ryota's new clothes, and said coquettishly.

　　Ishtar: "..."

　　Istar fell silent.

　　Misaki gave her a satisfied look.

　　Seeing this scene, Ryota felt unable to sit still.

　　It's scary when women fight openly and secretly ...

　　"In short, the next task is to find Caster and Assassin and kill them."

　　Ryota only devised a plan and revealed the news: "Among them, Assassin is a bit special. Many souls coexist in one body. These souls can separate and act independently. Killing even one soul cannot completely destroy it."

　　"Uh… so how much does he have?" Ishtar asked.

　　"Apparently over eighty."

　　"Over eighty...!? It's hard to find them all, isn't it?"

　　"No problem, let's go straight to Kotomine Kirei, Master Assassin."

　　Ryota patted Misaki on the shoulder next to him: "I have very reliable teammates on my side. Misaki can disturb the spirits of people who are not strong."

　　"Disturb the spirit?" Irisviel asked curiously, "Is that a hypnotic Magecraft?"

　　"No, it's much more advanced than that, not of the same level."

　　After correcting Ryota, he said to Ishtar: "When the time comes, we will control Kotomine Kirei, interfere with his giving orders with the Command Spell, and let the Assassin return to one body, and then you can take the opportunity to destroy it."

　　"It is still possible to come like this..."

　　Ishtar froze for a moment, expressing her admiration.

　　Seeing this, the pride and joy on Misaki's face grew even greater.

　　Not that she was proud of her abilities. But the more Ryota needs her, the happier she is.

　　Hayasaka. turned around and gave a click of the tongue.

　　full of hate...

　　"Next is Caster."

　　Mentioning Caster, Ryota suddenly frowned.

　　"What is it?" Misaki realized her oddity.

　　"Caster must be killed quickly, otherwise there will be no peace in this city."

　　Ryota tells everyone about Caster's identity and character.

　　After listening, everyone frowned.

　　Saber, who had a strong sense of justice, even slammed the table, her expression slightly angry: "This bastard...!"

　　"Are there evil existences among the Heroic Spirits..."

　　Hayasaka frowned.

　　Living in a modern, safe society, she has never experienced such a situation.

　　"Find Caster first," Misaki suggested.

　　"Of course! This kind of evil heretic must be eradicated this morning!"

　　Saber immediately agreed.

　　Everyone has no opinion.

　　"Leave it to me," said Ryota, "I can't tell you about the Assassin, I'll have to rely on Misaki to find him, but I should be able to find him quickly for Caster."

　　His belief is well founded.

　　Caster was full of hatred for this world. With the keen emotional perception brought on by the Military Command System, Ryota must be able to lock onto an opponent's position quickly.

　　"Go now?"

　　Ishtar asked excitedly. She's going to get points, she's so excited!

　　"Um, hurry up, I still have business." Ryota nodded.

　　He always thought of all the world's evils in the Great Holy Grail, or in other words… he ensnared "Angra Mainyu"'s body.

　　"Let's go."

　　...

　　Before leaving the mansion, Misaki and Hayasaka pulled Ryota aside, as if they had something to discuss.

　　Before speaking, the two girls touched their whole bodies.

　　"..."

　　Ryota couldn't understand the routine of the two, so he immediately asked: "What is this for?"

　　"Check your wounds, idiot."

　　Misaki was the first to say: "In the case of Shiro-chan, you try to be brave again, dragging your wounds to action."

　　"His clothes are indeed wet!"

　　After Hayasaka touched the wet marks, she brought her finger to the tip of her nose and kissed it, and it smelled like blood.

　　She suddenly frowned and said: "Shiro-chan, how come your little wound hasn't healed yet?"

　　No choice, soul power is recovering so slowly!

Hayasaka herself tried to cut her finger with a knife, and it recovered quickly. Ryota's soul power quality is much higher than her, why is his healing effect slower than hers?

　　"What is going on?"

　　Hayasaka made a concerned look.

　　Misaki also put on a serious face, waiting for Ryota's answer.

　　"It's a characteristic of one of my skills, don't worry, it's fine."

　　Ryota smiled and comforted the two girls: "Including this injury, it is also to verify the limit. I didn't dodge the attack and took the initiative to block it. I know it too well."

　　"What skills?" Hayasaka asked.

　　"Is that what you just trained?" Misaki thought thoughtfully, "I don't know the specific effect yet."

　　"Okay, let me explain."

　　Facing Misaki and Hayasaka, Ryota had no wariness in his heart. Without much hesitation, he introduced the dual defense characteristic of the "Immortal Body".

　　At the same time, he also explained the very small wound that had not healed yet.

　　To put it simply, it meant that the "Immortal Body" was only using time to share the damage, not directly eliminating the damage and making it disappear.

　　The time for the damage effect was slowed down infinitely, and then spread out over a very long period of time.

　　This is the point.

　　The principle is actually very simple.

　　If the damage he received could be measured by a numerical value, it was equivalent to dividing the 60 points of damage that would take effect in one second into 60 seconds, so that he only received 1 point of damage per second, then relying on his powerful self-healing ability to continue repairing.

　　Or it can be allocated one hour, one day, one week, one month... Thus, the wound that needs to be repaired per unit time is very small.

　　It can even be ignored outright.

This ability is abnormal.

　　But there are also corresponding drawbacks... or side effects.

　　That is to say, if he continued to experience battle and get injured every time, in every small unit of time, the damage he received would continue to accumulate in value.

　　When this accumulation was greater than the real-time refinement ability of his soul force, then he was in danger.

　　Hence, for the [Time River Immortality] skill, it was best not to continue fighting for a period of time after the battle, and to wait quietly until all the damage that had been allocated was healed.

　　Of course, he could adjust the timing of certain distributions independently.

　　For example, if the injuries sustained in battle were divided into one month, then he would have to wait a month for his body to repair.

　　But if the injury wasn't serious, then he could take the initiative to shorten the time, shortening a month to one day, half a day, or even an hour, or 1 minute.

　　Take 1 minute as an example. As long as the damage allocated to each small unit of time in 1 minute didn't exceed his recovery ability, then he could completely repair all injuries within 1 minute.

　　After 1 minute, his physical condition will become completely normal. But it's more painful to do it.

　　For example knife wounds, penetrating wounds, etc. If the time is allotted for a long time, then he can only break one or two muscle fibers every second, and he won't feel anything at all.

　　But if the time allotted is too short, maybe he will be hurt and bleeding every second. Then repeat the process of hurting, healing, hurting, healing... all the time.

　　Pain is unavoidable.

　　"So, since the injuries you received are a bit serious just now, the damage each unit shares is visible?"

　　Misaki immediately understood the principle and asked for the key.

　　"That's right."

　　Ryota nodded and added: "After all, four A-rank Venerable Phantasms collapsed inside the Noble at the same time… In terms of the soul power level of the Third Bridge, whether it was the effect of the 'Immortal Body' or self-healing ability, it was a bit difficult to overcome the situation. This. Of course, when I say reluctantly, I don't mean serious injuries, but the extent to which they will manifest in the first place. If you really want to count, I'm actually fine, and I'll fully recover after a while."

　　"But it's not good to bleed all the time, even though the wound will heal once it appears." Hayasaka asked: "Could you spread it over a longer period of time, so that the wound doesn't appear, and then spend more time repairing it?"

　　"Unfortunately no."

　　The person who answered this question was not Ryota, but Misaki.

　　Just listen to Misaki say: "I think ... there is a limit to the time Shiro-chan can share with this skill, right? Otherwise, if the time is unlimited, if the damage is divided into unlimited times, and calculated by simple calculus, the damage received will be zero, isn't that invincible?"

　　"Is that so..."

　　Hayasaka frowned again.

　　"Okay, it is okay."

　　Ryota gently touched Hayasaka's head, and said: "Once the Fourth Bridge is completed and the soul power level soars, this injury will be nothing. At that time, I will spend quite a bit of time recovering. Based on the Fourth Bridge's repair capabilities, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes."

　　"Then you should pay more attention to yourself and don't dare." Hayasaka reminded.

　　"Compared to brave, I think..." Misaki suddenly said: "Shiro-chan, you have to manage your fighting mentality. How could one not dodge the attack, stand up and let one fight, just to test one's limits?"

　　She glanced lightly at Ryota's hand stroking Hayasaka's hair, her expression seemed a bit bland: "Stupid!"

　　"..."

　　Ryota heard the hidden meaning of Misaki's words.

　　Opening a harem is really difficult...

　　He could only reach out his hand, and lightly stroked Misaki's hair.

　　"Snort..."

　　Hayasaka snorted softly.
