Goddess of Justice

Upon hearing this, Merry couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, after all, we also have goddesses at home that we need to take care of."

Rovey smiled slightly.

"But... don't you really need to let that little girl Rin Tohsaka know? What exactly are you doing now? As that successor, you definitely know better than me the price of Divine Spirit Possession."

"..."

Rovey nodded and said, "It's probably because his body couldn't handle it; all his circuits failed, and in the end, he could only live as an ordinary person."

"You really do know everything, so that's why you need me, isn't it?"

Merry tilted her head, gazing quietly at Rovey with her pink eyes, and said, "Otherwise, with your abilities, things wouldn't need to go through so much trouble."

"Yes, that's why I chose you first. After all, you must have a way to resolve things without hurting Rin Tohsaka, right?" Rovey nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Merry again, and said seriously, "Because you are Merry, the strongest Magus who can become a Grand Caster."

"Haha, so that's how it is..."

Upon hearing this, Merry paused for a moment, then let out a melodious laugh like a wind chime.

She looked into Rovey's eyes, then without hesitation, gently kissed his face.

"Honestly, I really was manipulated by you. Is this the price of love? Indeed, women in love are blind."

"So, I do seem to have a 'scumbag' vibe."

Rovey jokingly retorted to her, feeling helpless.

"Yes, we are the same kind of beings. I was also willing to be manipulated by you. I never thought that someone as shrewd as me could be such a fool."

A smile appeared on Merry's face.

"However, there's actually something else I want to tell you."

Rovey: "What?"

"Thank you for summoning me. For me, being able to help you is the best reward."

Merry turned her head, blinked, and a bright smile spread across her face.

"Sigh... the way you put it, my conscience is aching more and more. Why do I feel like I'm a piece of trash?"

"Hahaha," Merry's melodious laughter echoed from the Tohsaka Family once more, "Since you feel so bad about it, how about we play a round? Consider it replenishing our mana."

"Let me think about it some more..."

Chapter 374 Goddess of Justice

"Phew... I can finally catch my breath."

It wasn't until the afternoon that Rin Tohsaka, with her hair all messy, finally got up from the basement.

It was already 8 PM.

Undoubtedly, this meant that a day had passed, but she had absolutely no memory of it.

What does this indicate?

Yes, without a doubt, this means she's still half asleep.

This must be a dream.

Yes, I'm dreaming.

If it's just a dream, then that would be nice.

Hearing Ereshkigal utter the most terrifying words in the gentlest voice, Rin Tohsaka's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Can someone tell her what it means that Ishtar's time is over and it's almost her turn?

Hopefully, Rin Tohsaka can take an hour to wash herself clean and get herself in the right state, as she will soon be taking over this body.

This Rin Tohsaka completely stunned.

Because she hadn't woken up during the day, Ishtar had occupied her body for the entire day, causing her to be in a deep sleep. Now that Ishtar was tired of playing and ready to sleep, she had just logged back in when Ereshkigal told her that she only had one hour left and she had to log in immediately.

After hearing these words, Rin Tohsaka perfectly recreated that painful memory in her mind.

These two ancestors.

The two Servants she summoned actually did such a thing.

Not only did they peacefully distribute their own bodies, but they also...

Even a day and a night compressed her life into just one hour each day.

This made Rin Tohsaka want to scream, "What kind of weirdo did she summon?!"

Moreover, and...

What Merry described did not happen at all.

She said that Rin Tohsaka could look on the bright side; at least this situation would allow her to have a closer relationship with her Servant, making it easier to protect and support them.

After all, the other combinations are teams where the Master and Servant are separate.

She is the most noble being in the anime, possessing a unified spirit or a bonded state. This state often comes with special bonuses.

Rin Tohsaka doesn't feel any boost or bond from it.

But she also comforted herself with the thought that as long as she had the protection of these two top goddesses, she wouldn't need to worry about her fragile survival ability as Master, which might actually be a good thing.

Besides, no matter what, Ishtar and Ereshkigal are the chief gods of Sumerian, and from a mythological perspective, they are even stronger than Gilgamesh. Perhaps I really have drawn an ace this time. If I can find a way to have a good talk with them later, I might gain a lot.

And the result?

The day had passed, and the events that had transpired were unbelievable to her.

Those two guys not only had no intention of getting along with their Master, but they also didn't do anything productive.

She had already given up her body for a whole day, and she thought that Ishtar, as a god, would definitely have much better insight and ability to get things done than she, an ordinary Magus.

It wasn't until I opened my eyes that I realized what had happened.

The other person actually stayed home all day and did absolutely nothing.

Yes, nothing was done.

At this moment Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but want to curse.

What kind of Servant did I summon? It stays at home during the day and sleeps at night.

Is this an old man?

No, even an old man wouldn't act like that.

Then, just as she regained consciousness and realized what had happened, before she could even react, another person who slept during the day was about to take over her account.

Rin Tohsaka had a premonition.

If I keep sleeping like this, it wouldn't be surprising if I just died one day.

Moreover, recalling the personalities of those two Servant, it was completely and blatantly clear that they wanted her dead!

Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka was filled with anger, but had no way to vent it.

In the end, all he could do was punch his own bed.

But...

Wait a minute?

What's this texture like?!

The next moment, a cool and silky sensation flowed over the back of her hand, causing Rin Tohsaka's eyes to widen in surprise.

After all, as a money-grubber, or rather, as a modern person, she is exposed to this kind of tactile sensation every day.

During the bankruptcy, I even dreamed of swimming in such a tactile environment, but...

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka felt not the joy of being surrounded by money, but rather a chill ran through her.

After all, she has no memory of it.

If you were to ask where all that money came from after Ishtar took over, the answer would be quite obvious.

She must have robbed a bank using her own body.

Thinking about what had happened and anticipating the possibility of police surrounding her mansion at any moment, Rin Tohsaka was on the verge of tears.

But...

When Rin Tohsaka looked down at the mountain of ghost money piled up at her feet, she was completely stunned, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

If it were real money, she would be scared.

If it's an outrageously large amount of ghost money, she'll feel speechless and at a loss.

My heart was racing with excitement.

That's outrageous! Did they anticipate they were going to die?

They even prepared burial money for her!

Thump thump--!!

Just as she was holding the ghost money, preparing to unleash her fury, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Immediately afterwards, the wooden door to her door was pushed open.

Looking at Rin Tohsaka inside, Rovey glanced at her pupils and was somewhat surprised to see that they were neither gold nor red, but rather the original blue.

Are you Rin Tohsaka?

"Yes, it's me, that's right."

Upon seeing Rovey enter, Rin Tohsaka's initial speechlessness turned into a deep sigh. She climbed down from the mountain of ghost money and said with a speechless expression, "This must have been a terrible idea you came up with, right?"

"Definitely. If you don't want to see a lawless outlaw like Rin Tohsaka suddenly appear out of nowhere, this is the best way."

Rovey smiled. "Anyway, he can't tell the difference."

"You're really something, aren't you? You dare to use such methods on a god? Is she a fool?"

After getting a general idea of the situation Rin Tohsaka was speechless for a moment.

How could any god be fooled by ghost money?

"She's definitely not stupid. I just exploited a logical loophole, but this definitely won't stay hidden for long."

"Ugh... that thing! It's driving me crazy!" Rin Tohsaka started grabbing her hair, saying in despair, "Why am I so unlucky? I actually summoned something like that."

"Is it bad luck? Didn't you draw your best ace?"

After thinking for a moment, Rovey said, "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, Ishtar's raw strength and trump card make her arguably the strongest Servant in this Holy Grail War. She is undoubtedly an ace in the hole."

"But not only can I not play this trump card, it's also completely blocking my path!"

Rin Tohsaka had lost all interest in participating in the Holy Grail War; all she wanted was to live peacefully. So she hurriedly asked, "Where's Lady Avalon? Isn't she the top-tier Magus? Can't she hurry up and think of a way to help me?! I really can't stand that guy anymore!"

"Right now, I feel like I could wake up one day to find myself in ruins. This god is like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment!"

Seeing this, Rovey shook his head and replied.

"Although Merry is skilled at crafting props, Ishtar is, after all, a goddess. Just helping you restrain her is already a huge undertaking. You should understand the saying, 'Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.' For Magus, there is never 'almost perfect.' Only when it's 100% certain can it be used."

"I know... but that guy really went too far..."

Rin Tohsaka was even more desperate. "I'll definitely die in the Holy Grail War without a Servant to protect me."

"That can't be that bad, can it? After all, you still have a spirit behind you, don't you?"

Rovey pointed at her, then called out, "Is Ereshkigal there?"

"I'm here! Rovey, were you looking for me?"

The next moment, Ereshkigal's voice suddenly appeared, startling Rin Tohsaka.

Where is she?!

Hearing the voice that suddenly came from beside her, Rin Tohsaka turned around abruptly. She touched her body, and just now she thought she was about to be impersonated again, but she found that she still had control of her body.

So she looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that a blue ghost had appeared beside her ear, and the sound was coming from there.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Are you Ereshkigal?"

"Yes, I am Ereshkigal, Master."
