This woman is very easy to handle

　　Seeing Ereshkigal's mentality, Ryota could only temporarily pause the discussion and wait for her to return to her normal state.

　　At the same time, he couldn't help but groan in his heart – Tohsaka Rin was really evil...

　　That made Ishtar and Ereshkigal both embarrassed and Tsundere.

　　He thinks it's not a bad thing, it's just a complaint.

　　Ishtar seemed to be going forward to say something, but was held back by him.

　　Ryota shook his head at her and motioned for her to be quiet for a bit with his eyes.

Ishtar naturally wasn't so obedient. To keep her out of trouble, Ryota pointed at his mouth, then pointed at herself, pointed into the distance, and finally slit his throat with his index finger.

　　The main idea is – if you speak freely now, I will leave here. When Ereshkigal saw you left alone did you think she would kill you?

　　Seeing this scene, Ishtar looked where Ryota's finger was, showing a horrified expression.

　　Very bad!

　　Ryota literally threatened her that if she dared to speak up now, he would drag her there and strike her in the throat.

　　As for what kind of attack… This guy used his index finger as a metaphor, and he must have used that thing to shove it from his mouth down her throat.

　　Ryota changed and became immoral.

　　Ishtar glared at him, then chose to obey.

　　...

　　Time passed little by little.

　　Ereshkigal curled up on the stone chair and twisted her body in embarrassment, finally gradually calming down.

　　The redness on her face also slowly receded.

　　During this process, Ryota never let go of the restrictions on Ereshkigal's authority to control the surroundings with the domain.

　　Seeing Ereshkigal raise her head again, without any sign of resistance on her face, Ryota withdrew the time domain, then showed a friendly smile and asked:

　　"Calm?"

　　"It's all your fault, you suddenly came to me." Ereshkigal's tone was slightly irritated.

　　"My bad, sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

　　Ryota generously takes the blame upon himself.

　　This type of apology is completely harmless.

　　If it could make the other party feel better, he didn't even mind saying a few more times.

　　"Forget it, I forgive you."

　　After setting the mood, Ereshkigal was about to speak when she suddenly noticed that she was the only one sitting while the others were standing, wasn't that impolite?

　　So she got up from her seat, approached Ryota, and then said: "Ehem... You came to ask me to cooperate, right?"

　　"That's right," Ryota nodded, "Apart from cooperating, I also have something to say to you, and your little sister does as well."

　　"Younger sister..."

　　Ereshkigal glanced at Ishtar with a subtle expression.

　　Relationship-wise, Ishtar was indeed her younger sister.

　　But the two of them have no brotherly relationship at all.

　　"Forget it," Ereshkigal shook her head and said, "For your sake I won't attack her, but what she has to say, I don't want to hear."

　　"I think you better listen to her." Ryota seriously suggested.

　　"I don't want that!" Ereshkigal had an attitude of resistance: "I don't need to listen to what she wants to know. I'm afraid I won't be able to control it and shoot her to death!"

　　"Oh? What do you think she will say?"

　　Ryota is captivated step by step.

　　"This is nothing more than persuading me not to work so hard. Get out and play if you want to play. You don't need to heed the orders of the gods. You have to follow your inner desires and do whatever you want. ..."

　　Ereshkigal's voice was a bit low: "No matter how much she says this, I think this person's arrogance is based on her superior condition! She doesn't understand my predicament at all… Hmph."

　　Turning her gaze from Ryota, Ereshkigal looked at Ishtar.

　　The eyes of the two goddesses representing the heavens and the underworld collided.

　　Ereshkigal said sharply: "I was right, right? Ishtar."

　　"You did a good job," Ishtar replied.

　　"... Hah?" Ereshkigal was surprised "What are you saying?"

　　"I said," Ishtar looked into Ellie's eyes and said seriously: "You, World Goddess BaBaw have done a good job. I want you to be replaced by one of the gods to take your place. I'm afraid you'll get tired, even if you can endure it, you definitely won't be as good as before."

　　"..."

　　Ereshkigal showed a surprised expression and said: "Y-You have a problem with your head!?"

　　Ishtar held back anger. After adjusting her mood, she maintained her tone and said: "I used to think from my own perspective that you must be leading an unfulfilling life, but now..."

　　She shook her head and said: "You are not unsatisfactory, you are just much better than me at carrying out the duties of gods. Hmph… I, Ishtar, admit that no matter in the past or in the future, there will not be an Underworld that is better managed by you. You're the best, so don't complain about this and that maintain your dignity for me!"

Ereshkigal: "..."

　　This made her a little angry.

　　But maybe she was too shocked that Ishtar would say something like that, and she didn't mind losing her temper.

　　Ishtar could say such reasonable words?

　　It's not scientific...

　　Was she taken away by someone else?

　　"What kind of eyes do you have?" Ishtar said dissatisfiedly: "This goddess praises you so much, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

　　"..."

　　Ereshkigal gritted her teeth: "Sure enough, someone like you should be killed!"

　　A glowing spear appeared in her hand.

　　"Wait!" Ishtar immediately became alert: "What do you intend to do?"

　　"Kill you arrogant bastard!"

　　Ereshkigal had a threatening expression on her face. But even though she spoke loudly, she didn't attack right away. She seemed to be hesitating.

　　Ishtar's words seemed to have had an effect on her.

　　Ishtar herself also noticed this, and looked at Ryota in surprise.

　　It really works.

　　(Tsk... He won the deal, and I don't have another chance!)

　　Ishtar felt aggrieved. After losing two chances in a row, she will never have another chance to make Ryota perform the ritual of kissing her back in surrender.

　　Unless things develop into a sex game between a man and a woman.

　　"Okay, you two stop arguing."

　　Ryota stood up and tidied things up: "We haven't discussed our business yet. We have lost a lot of time. If anyone is still fighting now, I will suppress them immediately!"

　　"Why are you so fierce to me…"

　　Ereshkigal kept her spear and complained in a low voice.

　　To be honest, she had not been satisfied with Ishtar's arrogant posture for a while, so she wanted to take out the spear.

　　This is impulsive thinking and has no long term effect.

　　Ryota gave her a step back.

　　"Cough... I didn't hurt you." Ryota started to say good things: "I just want to help you quickly lift the restrictions of the Three Goddesses Alliance."

　　"I do not believe..."

　　Ereshkigal glanced at Ryota and Ishtar, with hatred in her eyes.

　　"Obviously you've confessed your love to me, and you don't know how to restrain your behavior, and you're still involved with another woman… You're not being serious at all!"

　　After saying this, she was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and enter. But at the same time, there is a feeling of relaxation both physically and mentally after making a sound.

　　Let her not be as unbearable as before, instantly holding her head in the chair and twisting back and forth.

　　Ryota:? ? ?

　　What? He has confessed?

　　When?

　　"Shiro!"

　　At this time, Ishtar suddenly shouted: "You bastard, you said you didn't have such an idea...!?"

　　She pointed at Ereshkigal: "This woman admits it herself!"

　　For some reason, Ryota heard Ishtar's tone of complaint.

　　To be honest, he really had nothing to do with Ishtar.

　　Even though he had set foot on the path of no return in the harem, he was a bit embarrassed.

　　Morality is a choice.

　　But after all, he wouldn't confess his love to a girl he just met, right?

　　Confession ... most likely it's Ereshkigal's twisted thinking.

　　Ryota just wanted to explain, but seeing Ereshkigal's shy expression and thinking about the current character of the Goddess of the Underworld, he suddenly gave up explaining.

　　Now if he says that he hasn't confessed his love, Ereshkigal is just misunderstanding him. Ryota is worried that Ereshkigal will immediately fight him out of embarrassment and anger, and fights him and Ishtar!

　　Now is not the time for clarification.

　　So Ryota said: "Cough... I'm here to handle business, to handle business, let's talk about business, time is tight."

　　"Okay."

　　Ereshkigal herself was also very shy, so she stopped being angry.

　　Ryota said in a serious tone: "Tiamat's Resurrection is coming soon, Eli, your current methods cannot save the people of Uruk."

　　"Wait, how do you know that my goal is to save save humanity?" Ereshkigal looked surprised.

　　"...Have you forgotten what I said earlier?" Ryota showed helpless eyes: "You don't seem to take what I say seriously..."

　　"Uh… it's the ability to capture information, right?"

　　Ereshkigal quickly explained: "Sorry, I didn't mean to take it seriously, it's just that I've just never seen an ability like this before, I'm a bit unfamiliar."

　　"It's okay, I'm just complaining, I don't mean to blame you." Ryota consoled her.

　　"Hmm..." Ereshkigal nodded slightly and blushed.

　　Seeing this little girl's attitude, Ryota found it a bit hard to deal with.

　　Ereshkigal deserves the title of "The best woman in Chaldea".

　　They only met twice when Ryota was full of plans. In a daze, Ereshkigal had reached this level.

　　Though the goal is to open the harem. But before he knew it, there was an additional candidate, Ryota suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

　　But now wasn't the time to talk about this, Ryota pressed his mind a bit on this aspect.

　　"The current Beast Goddess is not a Gorgon, you already know this, so I won't explain further. What I want to remind you is that when the real Demon Beast Goddess was Tiamat. All the humans on the ground will be destroyed, so you cannot protect their souls in the Underworld, no one can escape the fate of death."

　　The definition of death between the gods and modern humans is completely different.

　　For modern humans, we can quote Emiya Shiro's classic line – people will die if they are killed.

　　Whether it is mental or physical damage, it will die.

　　To humans in the Age of Gods, spiritual death and physical death were completely different definitions.

　　Physical death occurs only when the body is destroyed.

　　Spiritual death is equivalent to "sleep".

　　As long as you go to the underworld to find the souls of the dead, the dead will be resurrected.

　　The most common example is Gilgamesh.

　　Because his body was safe and sound, when someone retrieved his soul from the Underworld, he was immediately revived on the spot.

　　But when this trick is against Tiamat, it won't work.

　　Because only the black mud that could cover the world gushed out, and it could burn everything on the surface.

　　Naturally, the human body cannot be preserved.

　　At that time, only the soul remained, unable to be revived, and sooner or later would return to the source and truly die.

　　"She will wake up?"

　　Ereshkigal showed a worried expression. How powerful Goddess Tiamat was, she naturally knew a thing or two.

　　"Don't worry, I've already laid out a crusade plan..."

　　Ryota started repeating to Ereshkigal the plan he had told Merlin and the others at the Uruk Temple.

　　After listening to Ereshkigal, she didn't feel much relaxation after her depressed mood was relieved.

　　Instead, she became even more worried.

　　She was worried about Ryota.

　　"Shiro-chan,"

　　After trying to call out Ryota's name, Ereshkigal said with concern: "According to your plan, the mother goddess' first layer of immortality can indeed be erased in the Underworld, and I will definitely do my best to help you. But the second layer of immortality is depending on you alone, can you do it? Aren't you in danger?"

　　"Of course there is danger," said Ryota, "But don't worry, we are all in the same danger, don't worry about me alone."

　　"W-Who would worry about you alone!"

　　Ereshkigal immediately used an aggressive attitude to cover up her annoyance.

　　"I don't agree with your confession."

　　Ryota: "..."

　　That's another confession... But that's okay, Ereshkigal's reaction was exactly what he expected.

　　"Ereshkigal, when we break through the ground and enter the World, Under what will you feel it?" Ryota suddenly asked.

　　"En," Ereshkigal nodded, "Isn't it strange that I can't detect such obvious movements?"

　　"That's good," Ryota said with a smile: "The plan will be implemented in 21 days. The moment we broke through the ground and entered the Underworld again, that was when Tiamat fell. You must be prepared."

　　"En," said Ereshkigal with a serious expression, "You also be careful."

　　"Don't worry, in terms of strength, I am the one with the highest survival rate."

　　Ryota reminded: "So, don't worry too much about me."

　　"...Who is worried about you!"

　　Ereshkigal hastily waved her hand frantically: "I'm worried about a frivolous guy who confesses his love the moment he meets her."

　　Ryota: "..."

　　She said this very normally, and he didn't expect such a tsundere response.

　　It seems that if he want to communicate normally, he have to train Ereshkigal's shyness well.

　　Pa——Ryota grabbed Ereshkigal's swaying right wrist.

"Hah? W-What" Ereshkigal's body shook, "What do you want to do?"

　　"Relax," Ryota warned, "I will help you deal with the restrictions of the Three Goddesses Alliance."

　　In fact, it didn't matter if he didn't deal with the terms of the agreement.

　　After all, the object of the agreement was the Gorgon, not Tiamat.

　　If it was just fighting the Gorgons, he didn't need Ereshkigal's help, so it made no difference whether there were treaty restrictions or not.

　　But this kind of thing, in order to prevent accidents, if it can be cut, it is better to just cut it.

　　Under Ereshkigal's blushing gaze, Ryota's aura changed.

　　There seems to be a sense of malice.

　　Before she could show her shock, Ryota's other hand aligned with a knife, and it landed on her forehead.

　　Vaguely, Ereshkigal felt that she saw the scene where the illusory bubble burst.

　　When she came back to her senses, her body felt much more relaxed.

　　"Finished."

　　Ryota smiled.

　　[Punishment Blade] could indeed attack concepts, and his guess was correct.
