The Manifestation Devices they created did not have a Territory of Control.

In terms of capabilities, they could not compare to the later Manifestation Devices at all. They were even inferior to the first batch of Manifestation Devices Isaac and the others created in the original work.

Even so, at this point in time, the Manifestation Devices created by Isaac and the others were still extremely powerful weapons.

Isaac and Eliot's research quickly caught the attention of the local authorities.

The local authorities immediately approached them to seek cooperation.

And naturally, Isaac did not refuse, wanting to ensure his future path would go smoothly.

He even took the initiative to reveal their identities as Magi to the authorities.

This immediately drew the local authorities' attention to the group known as Magi.

After that, Isaac and Eliot returned to the village once, allowing those who had been monitoring them to discover the location of the Magi village.

However, Isaac and Eliot's research had greatly helped improve their weapons.

They could not turn hostile so quickly before they had fully learned their magical knowledge.

Thus, the local conservatives and extremists had argued endlessly during this period, finally reaching a conclusion a few days ago.

They would disguise the operation as a terrorist cleanup.

Now, those people were rapidly gathering manpower, stockpiling supplies, and making plans. Within a few days, they would arrive at the village and bomb it.

Just as Su Luo confirmed when the Origin Spirit could be born, Tiamat picked up a roast chicken and held it to Su Luo's mouth.

"Come on, ah~" Tiamat looked at Su Luo with a loving expression.

Su Luo smiled and opened his mouth, taking a bite from the roast chicken.

Before long, Su Luo had finished the entire roast chicken.

Seeing this, Tiamat picked up a grilled fish and held it to Su Luo's mouth again, looking at him expectantly.

Seeing this, Ellen seemed to realize something and asked in disbelief, "Excuse me, are you two a couple?"

"Then wouldn't you be..."

Ellen was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, in Babylonian mythology, Tiamat gave birth to the gods with the male god Apsu.

If Su Luo and Tiamat were a couple, wouldn't that mean Su Luo himself was Apsu?

"I'm not Apsu. I'm a pure human."

"You can just take mythological relationships with a grain of salt. The real situation might not be accurate." Su Luo's face darkened.

At least as far as he knew, Tiamat had always been alone.

Whether gods or magical beasts, she had created them through her own Authority.

They had absolutely nothing to do with any other gods.

"Ellen, Karen, are you willing to join my Familia?" Su Luo's expression turned serious as he explained the meaning of a Familia to Ellen and Karen.

"I'm willing, but why did you choose us?" A trace of confusion appeared on Ellen's face.

She knew her own talent well.

While she had every reason to be proud within the village and was undeniably the Strongest Magus there,

she was far inferior to Su Luo.

Su Luo himself did not look very old, yet his strength vastly surpassed hers.

When she had shown Su Luo and Tiamat around the village earlier, she had asked Su Luo for a spar.

After all, she had never encountered any other mysteries before this.

And immediately afterward, she regretted it.

Relying solely on sharp, swift swordsmanship, he had completely thrashed her, the village's Strongest Magus.

He had not used magic or any other powers whatsoever.

The entire spar had been Su Luo toying with her.

It had left her so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

Unlike Ellen's confusion, Karen bluntly remarked with an expressionless face:

"Idiot sister, Lord Su Luo naturally has his reasons for doing this. Can't you just obediently kneel and submit?"

"Karen?!" Ellen's pretty face turned red as she turned and glared at Karen indignantly.

"Didn't I agree? I was just curious why Su Luo would take an interest in us."

"You'll find out later. Since you've agreed, come sign the contract."

Su Luo did not explain much.

After all, even if he explained it, the sisters Ellen and Karen might not believe him.

The contract was soon completed.

Feeling the slight increase in power within her body, a beautiful smile could not help but bloom on Ellen's face.

"This is only a small improvement. As for your other powers, you'll have to cultivate them yourselves."

"Oh, right. These pendants are for you." Su Luo took out two exquisite necklaces from his storage space and handed them to Ellen and Karen.

"Eh? What does this mean?" Ellen's pretty face flushed slightly. The thought that Su Luo was about to confess to her flashed through her mind, and she quickly shook her head, throwing the idea aside.

"They're magical Mystic Codes I made. When you encounter danger, they'll activate automatically and teleport you somewhere safe."

"Consider them a welcome gift for joining the Familia," Su Luo said with a smile.

The Mischievous Mato Sakura

"Thank you."

Now that they had joined Su Luo's Familia, Ellen and Karen did not stand on ceremony.

Besides, they could vaguely sense that something major would happen in the future. Su Luo and the others were not from this world.

With these, even if Su Luo left this world, they would have a way to protect their lives should they encounter dangers they could not handle.

Su Luo nodded in satisfaction before adding, "If anything happens to you later, you can notify me through the power of the contract."

Although Ellen and Karen were somewhat puzzled, they still nodded to show that they understood.

With the matter involving the sisters Ellen and Karen settled,

Su Luo and Tiamat spent another afternoon having fun in the Date A Live world, only returning to the Type-Moon world after the sky gradually darkened.

Fuyuki City, inside the castle.

As soon as Su Luo and Tiamat returned, they ran into Tohsaka Aoi in the living room.

"You're back!" Tohsaka Aoi immediately came forward upon seeing Su Luo return.

"Did you come to see Sakura? Why are you sitting here alone?" Su Luo asked curiously.

Tohsaka Aoi had put in a great deal of effort to gain the chance to meet Mato Sakura. Logically, she should also be working hard to repair her relationship with Mato Sakura.

But why was she staying in the living room by herself?

"She's playing in the courtyard with Rin. Since they're both children, it'll be easier for them to get along."

"Once Rin and Sakura's relationship eases up, I'll slowly repair my relationship with Sakura." Tohsaka Aoi explained with a smile.

"I see." A strange look flashed through Su Luo's eyes.

Ever since she obtained the power of All the World's Evil, Mato Sakura no longer had the shadows of the past in her heart.

Even if Tohsaka Aoi approached her, she would not be rejected.

So why was Tohsaka Aoi still staying here?

Could it be that, because of what happened before, Tohsaka Aoi had never once tried to approach Mato Sakura?

Tohsaka Aoi did not know what Su Luo was thinking. Recalling the sight of Tohsaka Rin and Mato Sakura playing together today, she gathered her courage and pleaded with Su Luo, "Mr. Su Luo, could you let me see Sakura for a few more days?"

"I was truly so happy when I saw Rin and Sakura playing together today."

"Even if not to fulfill my wish as their mother, please consider it for Rin and Sakura's sake."

"Fine, but when I'm at the castle, you need to fulfill your original promise." Su Luo nodded.

"Later, I'll also send Sakura to elementary school and find her a playmate around her age."

He happened to have a suitable candidate in mind.

Thinking of this, Su Luo used the power of the contract to contact Sajyou Manaka and asked her to speak with Kirei Kotomine, so that his daughter Karen could live and play with Mato Sakura from now on.

Seeing Su Luo agree, Tohsaka Aoi immediately burst into tears of joy.

She quickly bowed and thanked him. "Thank you so much. I'll work hard!"

As she spoke, a blush appeared on Tohsaka Aoi's cheeks.

Perhaps she was simply too emotional.

"Big brother."

At that moment, Mato Sakura returned to the house.

The moment she saw Su Luo had returned, she ran toward him.

At the same time, Tohsaka Rin followed Mato Sakura back into the house.

"Honestly, Sakura, why did you suddenly leave me behind and run inside?"

After speaking, Tohsaka Rin noticed Su Luo beside Mato Sakura.

"Big brother, you're back. Can you let Sakura keep playing with me?" Tohsaka Rin asked with an innocent smile.

She knew that Mato Sakura now only listened to Su Luo. If Su Luo stepped in to persuade her, they would definitely be able to improve their relationship with Mato Sakura today.

"Sakura, what do you think?" Su Luo looked at Mato Sakura.

"No. Big sister is too dumb. She can't even use simple Jewel Magic properly. I don't want to play with her." Mato Sakura shook her head.

"I'm not dumb. I just didn't rest well today." Tohsaka Rin defended herself somewhat guiltily.

Originally, she had used teaching Jewel Magic as an excuse to start a conversation with Mato Sakura.

She knew her younger sister's situation.

Back when they were at the Tohsaka household, she and Mato Sakura had studied Jewel Magic together.

Her mastery of Jewel Magic had always far surpassed Mato Sakura's.

And judging by her current learning progress, if she learned while teaching Mato Sakura, she would definitely be able to maintain long-term contact with her.

That way, even if they had not yet reached the agreed time, as long as Mato Sakura wanted to continue learning Jewel Magic, she would have to come see them. Su Luo certainly would not refuse.

Who would have thought that in merely five minutes, Mato Sakura had learned all the Jewel Magic she knew.

And the magic Mato Sakura cast was even more powerful than hers.

It dealt a huge blow to her pride as an older sister.

Fortunately, she had still successfully started talking with Mato Sakura and spent the entire day playing with her.

"Rin, we should go home." Seeing that the time was about right, Tohsaka Aoi prepared to take Tohsaka Rin home. Once she had coaxed her to sleep, she would return here.

Seeing this, Mato Sakura put on a troubled expression and took the initiative to say, "It's so late... It's not safe, so... why don't you go back tomorrow?"

Mato Sakura's voice was soft, carrying a faintly timid tone.

Yet Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin both heard what Mato Sakura said clearly, and joy could not help but rise in their hearts.

Especially Tohsaka Aoi. She had not expected that on only the first day, Mato Sakura would take the initiative to say something like this.

This also meant that Mato Sakura was gradually accepting their presence in her heart.
