Chapter 443

"Novia, that's not how normal aesthetics should be."

That's why I need to find an opportunity to correct this aspect of my Consultant! It's also for the sake of Xiao Xiang's image as a good father! Using Demon power in this way is unavoidable...

That's what the girl thought to herself.

"... What?"

"Don't you understand, Novia?"

"..."

Novia was silent for a few seconds. "No, I understand, but this should be a personal matter for me."

"That won't do. It would ruin your image as Xiao Xiang's good father. As her senior, I'm very worried about that."

Why would Ritsuka Fujimaru suddenly ask this question?

The Answer is simple: in some memories she received from Azathoth, she saw her Consultant and a blonde girl named Abigail, their relationship unusually close... especially since she called Novia ...

Brother? Wait, if she's a sister? Then who was that White-Haired Girl before? Novia, you have three sisters? One is the red-haired one Edmond mentioned, one is the white-haired one who always calls him sister-in-law in his dreams, and the other is this blonde girl...

This actually caused Ritsuka Fujimaru's understanding of Novia to become somewhat 'distorted'. Originally, because of her Xiao Xiang, her perception of her first love, Novia, was that he was a Perfection father, and she had suppressed her 'feelings' in order to avoid committing a crime.

It was only after the Human Order Incineration and seeing the lonely Novia that Ritsuka's inappropriate feelings rekindled. It's also likely because Meli kept calling her "sister-in-law" in her dreams... Now, after learning about Abigail, Ritsuka feels that Novia must have been a promiscuous person before she married and had Xiao Xiang! To do such a thing with a woman of that age and physique... that's a real crime!

Well, although the filter was shattered, it also made Ritsuka more thoughtful, as can be seen from the fact that she omitted the suffix "Consultant".

However, Novia was preoccupied with pondering his relationship with Azathoth, why He said He would always be with Yug, who was that mysterious mother, and what was going on with the Lion King sitting in the Third Holy Scripture in Jerusalem. These questions prevented him from immediately noticing Ritsuka's actions.

Of course, if Novia were to question her, Ritsuka Fujimaru would definitely answer with things like, "It must be caused by the Divine Power," "It wasn't intentional," or "It's definitely the Evil God's fault." But is she really being influenced by Azathoth right now? Maybe it's just the girl comforting herself.

"That guy must have slept so long he's out of his Divine Will; he actually put on this kind of drama right in front of me."

Whether it's a declaration or a judgment, just hearing that voice feels like it's crushing your soul.

This was the voice of the Lion King, who had always sat in the Third Temple.

There's really no way around it.

The Lion King, chin in hand, waved her finger, and the Holy Lance standing beside her appeared as if in a phantom, multiplying in an indescribable number.

The Singularity had been on the verge of collapse, stabilized again, and at the same time, everything went into night—not darkness, but the kind of night that signifies the passing of daylight and the arrival of night.

The previous wars never existed; instead, a Serenity prevailed.

The Lion King closed his eyes, as if he didn't intend to see anything:

"But it's more convenient this way for things that should be ignored."

Chapter 464 Shekinah of the Old Testament Queen of Heaven.

"Welcome back, Ritsuka, Mash, Novia."

The smiles of Da Vinci and Romani comforted the three who awoke from the cage.

"We haven't had any normal communication since you entered Jerusalem, so we were very worried. Fortunately, Novia got there in time, so hopefully nothing bad has happened?"

"Question..."

Ritsuka's eyes fell on her hands, which had returned to normal, and she said, "No, nothing!"

How should I put it? Should I tell Da Vinci that he received the power of Sun Wukong and the Outer God Azathoth through a series of coincidences? The former is fine, but the latter is probably too fantastical... after all, the scale is far beyond imagination.

For example, Ritsuka Fujimaru felt she could even punch the Commander Molay who had lured her and Mash into Jerusalem.

Of course, to be honest, Ritsuka didn't really treat Molay that way; on the contrary, she displayed the excellent qualities of humanity's last Master.

"... Oh dear, it Molay I've already suffered a crushing defeat."

The silver-haired girl knelt on the ground, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Your Holiness Pope Novia, please have mercy! Otherwise, if I hadn't been restored to my throne, I'd probably be as ashamed as that Saintess."

"... Saintess?"

"Eh? So it's not His Holiness the Pope."

Upon seeing that only Ritsuka had appeared and not Novia, Molay immediately changed his expression to one of indifference.

"I didn't talk about other people's hobbies behind their backs, really, I didn't. And what about forming some kind of good relationship with my so-called Master..."

"Okay, see you later."

Ritsuka said with a smile, while secretly reaching out and grabbing Molay's hand with the Demon Claws she had just conjured using Azathoth's power. "So next time, you have to come as a companion, Molay."

"... Why?"

Upon sensing that familiar aura, Molay couldn't help but tremble all over.

Ritsuka Fujimaru clearly succeeded in resisting the descent of the 'god,' yet she still gained power? Is it a remnant or something else?

Therefore, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

"How interesting~ Ah, this isn't sarcasm, it's the literal meaning. I never expected I would do such a thing to you. Anyway, since you're traveling with Lord Novia, and given this situation, if I am ever summoned, I will try Molay best to atone for what I did today. Of course, this only applies to you and Lord Novia."

Having said that, Molay vanished into Spiritrons as if fleeing in disarray.

"Hey, Master of Chaldea, where are the Novia?"

Kama had been suppressing her displeasure for a while, crossed her arms and asked Ritsuka, who was smiling. She knew very well that this girl was an excellent girl, and normally she should appreciate her. However, this girl's feelings for her own child had been thoroughly investigated by Love God back in the Fourth Singularity.

It's either Novia is long or Novia is short, ugh, how disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

How could anyone have feelings for a married man? That person is simply not a decent human being!

"Love God Kama, are you asking me?"

Ritsuka's reply sounded as if she were asking her why.

Kama nodded through gritted teeth in response.

"If I don't ask you, who else can I ask?"

Seeing the petite silver-haired girl like this, Ritsuka Fujimaru and nodded with satisfaction.

"I have no idea."

That's the truth; Ritsuka only saw Novia take a step forward and then disappear.

"..."

Unintentionally, Kama sensed something was amiss. At first, she didn't understand what was wrong, but she quickly realized what it was.

Ritsuka Fujimaru is far too composed right now.

Even if she now possesses the power of Xuanzang, Sun Wukong's chief disciple, it's still no match for his original form. So what's with this composure...? Is she preparing to provoke Lord Kama, who is both Love God and a beast?

It's not impossible. If Ritsuka Fujimaru has designs on Novia, then she might strengthen her position in Novia's heart, just like Durga and Mohini. This would explain why she would provoke him.

The moment he thought of this, Kama snorted and decided to do the opposite, not allowing Ritsuka Fujimaru to have any chance of taking the lead.

However, before she could speak, Ritsuka immediately spoke again:

"Kama, you want to come to Chaldea, right? After you come here, why don't you tell me first? We in Chaldea have a lot of experience dealing with Servant, so we can be flexible in dealing with your direction. Do you want to defeat the enemy quickly, or do you want to Protection others? What do you want to do, or do you prefer working behind the scenes...? You can tell me any general direction you want. After all, I am the Master of Chaldea, and even Novia, as Demi-Servant, has to listen to me."

"Huh?"

This unexpected problem made Kama re-examine Ritsuka before him.

This guy, this attitude... could it be that he wants to lower my guard? Hmph, absolutely not. Durga and Mohini were helpless, but I would never easily agree to this with other guys.

I'm talking to you.

Kama gave a cold laugh. "Do you think my mind matches my body? Don't underestimate me. If I want to, I can revert to my girlish or adult form at any time."

"Um, Kama, why did you do this...?"

"Mind your own business! You nosy woman!"

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka did not refute, but simply shrugged.

I did consider this possibility just now. That Abigail, the form Kama is in now, and those three little ones in the Fourth Singularity —do the figures from the Church faction all prefer petite figures? Or is it something passed down in their bloodline?

However, it seems I can only grow bigger, not smaller... Actually, it's not that Novia's interests are strange, it's just that I like that he can accept a wide range of things. Wait, isn't Xiao Xiang's mom the super big type?

So, does that mean Novia prefers petite women in relationships but larger women for marriage? Then I guess... no, no, what am I thinking?

The Orange-Haired Girl shook her head to clear her mind.

But then, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Ritsuka recognized a dark-haired young man who was running towards her while shouting "Brother-in-Law." He looked exactly like a male version of herself, someone she had seen during Livestream one night before she graduated High School.

"This... ah, I remember now, you must be the Master of Chaldea, the Brother-in-Law takes care of, Ritsuka Fujimaru. Hello, hello, I'm Charlemagne."

Of course, even Charlemagne himself was quite surprised. His battle with Gawain ended with the Sun Knight voluntarily dissipating. Afterwards, he rushed here to see Novia, only to find Kama Ritsuka Fujimaru at Kama with wide eyes.

Handsome, he's just too handsome.

This is Charlemagne's assessment of Ritsuka, mainly because he thinks Ritsuka's face is so beautiful that it's no exaggeration to say she's his younger sister! Since they're family, she must be incredibly handsome, no doubt about it... The reason he calls her his younger sister instead of his older sister is because Attila has already firmly taken that position.

"Brother-in-Law?"

Naturally, Ritsuka keenly noticed the details revealed in Charlemagne's words.

Who is Charlemagne's sister?

Just then, Kama casually said, "Yes, who is my sister? I'm curious about Kama too."

Charlemagne was from Western Europe, so he couldn't possibly be either Durga or Mohini. Therefore, it can only be said that this woman seduced Kavia into that so-called Holy Church.

Immediately, the atmosphere among the three became tense.

However, Charlemagne was the first to give in, whether genuinely or in an act, he clutched his chest with a pained expression.

"Oh no, has this already ended...? I'm so pathetic right now..."

I'm sorry, Brother-in-Law. If I were just Charlemagne, I would have told these two my sister's name and explained things to you in a cheerful way. But I am also Carl, whose benevolence is second only to God. So, it's up to Brother-in-Law to explain this yourself. I believe Brother-in-Law have the ability to completely appease them.

Wait a minute, if we look at it this way, my Brother-in-Law might be both my Brother-in-Law and my sister's brother-in-law in the future. That's quite a strange connection.

As for me... my posture was perfect, my lines were ready, and I won the victory—it was the Perfection exit!

"In conclusion, see you next time, the very handsome Ritsuka Fujimaru."

After he finished speaking, Charlemagne, just like Molay before him, fled and vanished into blue particles.

At this moment, apart from Novia who was nowhere to be found, only Kama, Ritsuka, who was Hassan of the Zealot Mash Mordred returned automatically after everything was almost over. As for Xuanzang, she clearly wanted to stay a little longer, but she disappeared inexplicably just like Tathagata.

Novia wasn't summoned or transported to another world; she was currently in the Third Temple in Jerusalem, staring at the Lion King with his golden eyes. It was likely due to the Lion King's power that Novia appeared to Ritsuka as if she had vanished.

The Lion King, chin resting on his hand, gazed at Novia with his proud yet somewhat lazy Golden Eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Nice to meet you. I am Artoria, the Lion King, the Fourth-Aspected God of the Indian Sector, the ruler of the Himalayas, and the Buddhism Dīpaṃkara Dipankara—may I address you as such?"

Did I mistake you for someone else?

For a moment, Novia thought he had made a mistake, but the undisguised aura convinced him that it was indeed that god.

Therefore, he ultimately responded with this reply:

"If you like it, that's fine. After all, I don't care who you are."

The Lion King immediately stopped smiling, his expression turning cold and expressionless, and he remained silent.

Novia took a breath and said, "Speak, what is it that would make 'you' deign to appear before me? I am immensely grateful for 'your' favor, and if there were any Divine Language words or anything like that, I would be eternally grateful."

Because Novia emphasized the "you" in her voice, the Lion King's eyebrows twitched, and his otherwise cold tone became sharper.

"Heh. That's quite a direct approach, but I'm sorry, there are conditions to my answer."

"Condition?"

"That's right."

"... I understand, okay, what are the conditions?"

"Well, considering the rather amusing performance you put on with that guy who's been sleeping so long his brain's fogged up, I'll reluctantly answer one of your questions."

The Lion King leaned back on his Throne, "But only once."

Novia naturally understood that the 'guy' the Lion King was referring to was Azathoth, and for some reason, Novia a subtle displeasure at His attitude.

But he held back and directly expressed his biggest confusion at the moment.

Who is the 'mother' I think of?
