Loki, who had been updating Shirou's basic stats, suddenly paused upon hearing his words but resumed her actions a few seconds later.

"Is that so? Has this day finally come?"

"You guessed it, huh!" Shirou sighed. She truly was worthy of being an old geezer who had lived for countless years—a master at reading human hearts.

"Knowing it was just a guess. How about it, can you tell me?"

"Of course."

Shirou recounted what he had once told Riveria. After listening, Loki furrowed her brows and pondered in silence. But her next words greatly startled him.

"Shirou, could it be that you're not from this world?"

Shirou froze for a moment at the question. Loki's excitement grew as she saw his reaction.

"Indeed, are you from beyond this world? I knew your Projection magic wasn't innate magic. I didn't expect it to truly be magic from another world." Looking at the excited Loki, Shirou realized the gravity of the situation.

As a god, how could Loki not be aware of the current state of this world? The story he had revised to convince Riveria clearly couldn't deceive Loki, the goddess of trickery.

He had truly brought this upon himself.

"Hey, hey, Shirou, what's your world like?" Loki's eyes sparkled with curiosity. Shirou reluctantly began to describe his world, telling her his story.

"An era without gods, mages, Heroic Spirits, Holy Grail Wars... it's so interesting!" Loki became completely excited. As a god who sought the unknown, she was naturally extremely interested in the existence of other worlds.

"So, Shirou, you're going to continue traveling through different worlds, strengthening yourself, and then saving your sister in your own world?"

"That's right!"

"Can I come along?"

"Huh?"

"Come along—meaning we travel together!"

"I'm sorry, right now I can only travel alone. I can't bring anyone with me yet."

"Oh, why is that?" Loki was extremely disappointed, but she quickly recovered. After all, she hadn't had enough of her Familia game yet.

"Then when will you return?"

"I don't know. It might be soon after I leave, or it might be a long time from now. But I'll try my best to avoid that outcome." Loki was extremely satisfied with this answer. As a god whose age could be counted in billions, she naturally understood. The bond between Shirou and the Loki Familia was unbreakable. She was certain Shirou would return.

In that case, she would have the hope of traveling to other worlds with him in the future. After all, she didn't believe Emiya would leave Ais and the others behind. Loki knew very well that Shirou and Ais were already connected. Eventually, he would find a way to bring them along. Then, couldn't she just hitch a ride?

As for taking Shirou's world-traveling tool, Loki had no intention of doing so. The gods who sealed their divine power to play Familia games in the lower world were serious about it. Loki truly regarded the members of the Loki Familia as her own children, so the idea of taking something never crossed her mind.

"Your journey will be very difficult. After all, with other worlds, who knows what kind of beings you might encounter?" Loki suddenly became worried about Shirou's safety. Shirou's world was one without gods, while their world was the Age of Gods. If it weren't for the chief gods playing Familia games, this world would probably be hellishly difficult for Shirou. Perhaps in other worlds, Shirou might face worlds full of gods, which would be far too dangerous.

Suddenly, Loki grabbed Shirou by the collar and pulled him close. To Shirou's surprise, she kissed him on the forehead. With a disgusted expression, she pushed him away, wiped her lips, and muttered to herself, "I haven't even kissed Ais-tan like that yet, and I kissed you first!" She then placed her hands on her hips and proudly declared, "Remember this—this is the divine protection I'm giving you, also a farewell gift."

"But since divine power isn't allowed in Orario, this power is stored within you. It will manifest once you leave this world."

"Use this power well, and don't you dare die out there!"

Hearing Loki's warning, Shirou clenched his fist, his heart swelling with gratitude. Even though gods weren't allowed to use divine power openly, Loki had broken that rule to give him a cheat, all for his safety. Shirou felt warmth fill his chest.

"Please rest assured, Loki-sama, I will definitely return!"

"Absolutely!" Looking at the majestic goddess before him, Shirou declared resolutely.

In the days that followed, Shirou busied himself with preparations. Beyond his new equipment, the most important items were medicines, especially All-Purpose Elixirs—one could never have too many life-saving potions for critical moments. As for the falna consumed, in addition to the income from the equipment he forged, he also borrowed some from Riveria.

After all, Riveria was quite wealthy. For her, Finn, and Gareth, there were hardly any other expenses besides basic equipment maintenance.

Their equipment was top-tier and didn't need updating. Plus, their constant expeditions had allowed them to accumulate some savings. While accumulating these supplies, three days before his departure, Shirou informed everyone of his imminent journey. As expected, this caused quite a stir within the Familia. After all, he was Loki and Finn's recognized next-generation Familia leader.

Many people sought him out for explanations. After Shirou clarified, they relaxed. In their understanding, Shirou was simply going back to his hometown for some business—akin to undertaking a mission outside the city.

As for danger, Shirou was LV.5, and a LV.5 who could even fight and defeat LV.6s. It was well known that adventurers outside the dungeon city were much weaker than those within. Outside, Shirou faced virtually no danger, which put everyone at ease.

After a farewell banquet, everyone offered their blessings for Shirou's journey.

At the entrance of the Twilight Manor, Shirou gazed at all the Familia members who had come to see him off, his eyes filled with emotion.

"Brother, take care!"

"Brother, come back soon." After hugging Ais and Lefiya in turn, Shirou gazed affectionately at everyone. Just then, Riveria suddenly shoved a package into his arms.

"This is a gift for you."

"A gift?" Shirou was already carrying a large pack for his trip, having received many gifts upon learning of his departure. He hadn't expected Riveria to present one now. Just then, Riveria stepped forward and, to everyone's surprise, embraced him.

"You absolutely must come back safely, everyone is waiting for you!" After whispering in his ear, Riveria released him and silently retreated into the crowd. Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of the elven girls, Shirou quickly said, "Then I'll be off!" He hurriedly ran outside, lest he be caught. The elven girls' eyes were already starting to stir with murderous intent.

"Goodbye, everyone!"

"Goodbye!" Watching Shirou's disappearing figure, the members of the Loki Familia turned their attention elsewhere.

A silent Riveria.

Ais and Lefiya with complex expressions.

Loki, clutching her head and crying, shouting, "Even Riveria has been taken away!"

The black-eyed elven girls, gripping their weapons.

At this moment, the Loki Familia was incredibly lively! Finn helplessly rubbed his forehead, muttering, "What a hassle."

On a hillside outside Orario, Shirou gazed at the faintly visible city. He smiled and turned to leave.

"Let's go, to the next world, [Far Distant Time]!"
