The exquisite storage box opened; the second layer contained bullets engraved with complex patterns.
Origin Bullets. Seeing this, Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh; this thing was practically too broken in her original world; it was simply a special attack against Magicians.
"Severing and Binding; those are the characteristics of these bullets. I should have mentioned it, the virtual organ tissue of Mage Circuits."
Compared to telling her own story, it had somewhat turned into an introductory explanation of Magecraft knowledge, and Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed.
But once she started talking about Kiritsugu, she couldn't stop.
"A Magician who is hit will have their Mage Circuits severed and then violently fused together. Under these circumstances, driving mana results in unbearable pain."
"In a sense, it's a very cold-blooded weapon."
Riveria took over the topic, her fingertips lightly tapping the Origin Bullets in the storage box, her eyes shining.
If something like this could be used against the mages of Orario, she would be in danger; a single sniper shot from the shadows would be enough to cost her half her life.
"Yeah, that guy Kiritsugu was quite cold-blooded to everyone except me."
"He was always weighing the value of people, making cold-blooded choices, and always moving forward for the sake of human history while I didn't understand him."
Time passed quietly, and when the second half of the night arrived, Ritsuka finally closed her eyes under the influence of drowsiness.
She rested her head on Riveria's lap and slowly fell asleep.
Of course, this also involved the influence of divine power. Loki, who had discovered them halfway through and run over, used divine power to do something that she would definitely have been beaten for in the past, under Riveria's signal.
After all, her perversion was recognized within the Familia; whether one respected her or acknowledged her as a pervert were two different things.
"Riveria, what do you think of this child?"
The two sat side by side, enjoying the coolness of the night. Riveria's fingers gently brushed across Ritsuka's forehead.
Loki narrowed her eyes, seemingly thinking about something.
However, her question made Riveria chuckle. This elf, with no small amount of age and experience, had extremely gentle emerald eyes—
"Having a father with such a cold personality who nevertheless strove for the continuation of all humanity, the fact that this child didn't grow up to be a stubborn, cold-blooded hero of justice is actually quite surprising."
"Could it be because she was too cute that her father subconsciously didn't instill his own ideology in her?"
Emiya Kiritsugu's reputation was damaged.
'hero of justice?'
Riveria narrowed her eyes, a certain word that Ritsuka was very fixated on echoing in her heart.
"Clashing with various heroes and champions in history for the sake of her sister, her body enduring the deadly poison of the Hydra, her heart enduring parting, her soul constantly burning..."
"Unlike other children, the child named Emiya Ritsuka has already grown up. Loki, what do you think she is like?"
"A hero, I suppose."
Loki dangled her legs, her eyes squinting like crescent moons, but her expression had become much more serious.
"A hero or champion is not necessarily the champion who was once sung of by people, fighting for humanity; she is a hero who belongs to only one person."
Chapter 67: Goals for Developing status
After joining the Familia, goals for the future suddenly became very important.
Adventure, trade, entertainment, conflict... Facing the life of an Adventurer head-on, Ritsuka was led by Loki toward the Adventurer [Guild].
However, she was just a mere Lv1; finding just anyone to take her would have been fine. Ritsuka said as much, but she was dragged along by Loki, who headed toward the Guild without any room for argument. The obvious degree of importance Loki placed on her also indirectly reflected Ritsuka's specialness.
The 'favor' is for expanding the container, and combat is the fastest way to improve. She had already finalized her training plan in her heart.
As expected, an elite monster like a Lv2 Minotaur was the most suitable...
The Guild is the management center for Adventurers in Orario. If one wants to become an Adventurer, just obtaining a 'favor' is not enough; one must register at the Guild to be granted the qualification to enter the dangerous Dungeon for exploration.
Therefore, Ritsuka's previous practice of sneaking into the Dungeon from time to time was completely a violation of the rules.
The Guild headquarters was a very imposing, tall building.
Following behind Loki, Ritsuka entered the interior of the Guild hall and subconsciously began to observe the situation around her.
The staff didn't have strong auras; they wore uniform white shirts and black vests, with professional smiles on their faces, giving it quite the feel of a professional bar.
Loki brought Ritsuka into the Guild, and everyone, without exception, cast curious glances.
The name of the Familia's patron god, Loki, was quite famous, so it naturally attracted everyone's attention, and an Adventurer who could be personally brought to the Guild for registration by her... might have terrifying potential...
Striding forward, Loki brought Ritsuka to a processing desk.
The girl responsible for registration was a staff member named Eina. She had pointed ears like an elf, but overall, she didn't give Ritsuka that feeling of being a "darling of magic" that Riveria did.
Perhaps because her lineage wasn't pure?
