After greeting everyone in the group, Erica went offline.
Looking at her last few words, Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but want to complain.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Why raise flags at this time!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Doesn't this idiot worry about something happening?"]
People who generally said such things seemed unlikely to return.
Hearing Tohsaka Rin say this, Madoka became somewhat nervous.
[Madoka: "Erica-nee said she's going to war, there shouldn't be real danger, right?"]
Although Erica's current strength was the strongest in the group... no wait, tied for strongest.
But through long understanding, they knew Erica wasn't safe in her world.
That was a dangerous world where divine-level disasters frequently descended and idiotic Campiones rampaged everywhere.
A mere Great Knight might not even withstand the aftershocks of god-level battles.
Tohsaka Rin wasn't particularly worried about Erica before, but hearing Madoka say this made her heart tighten.
Don't look at how she and Erica often bickered—they actually had a good relationship.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Should be fine!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "That vixen is more cunning than anyone. If she really encounters danger, she'll definitely avoid it."]
Recalling Erica's personality, which wasn't the impulsive type, Rin temporarily set aside her worries.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Besides, now that Master Ryuga is in the group, if she really encounters danger, she should ask Ryuga-sama for help."]
Thinking of this, Tohsaka Rin felt even more at ease.
Before Ryuga joined the chat group, as the strongest in the group, Erica could only serve as backup for others in danger, but her own safety had no guarantee.
After all, their strength was still too weak.
But now, after Ryuga joined, the power dynamics within the chat group had completely changed.
With Ryuga's demonstrated shocking wisdom, he probably wouldn't even need to act personally—just creating a small skill would be enough to greatly enhance Erica's strength and ensure her safety.
With Erica's intelligence, she must have thought of this too.
So as long as she didn't ask for help, there was no need to worry.
Rin's reasoning quickly convinced everyone.
Though they weren't sure if Ryuga would help, seeing how he was willing to spend time explaining principles before, he probably wouldn't refuse.
Mm! Having a big leg to hug felt pretty good!
Everyone chatted a bit more.
Not long after, Kanae, the Flower Hashira from the Demon Slayer world, suddenly saw a point change notification from the chat group.
She earned one hundred points.
Did someone buy her Breathing Technique?
Seeing the purchaser was Ryuga, Kanae's heart filled with joy, no less than winning the biggest lottery prize.
"Ryuga-san actually took notice of the Breathing Techniques from my side?!"
Being noticed by Ryuga for her power, then having it iteratively optimized into a stronger version—probably everyone in the chat group had such hopes.
Kanae was naturally no exception.
But she never thought her contributed power would actually be noticed.
After all, compared to the brilliant and colorful magic systems of Erica and Tohsaka Rin's worlds, these incomplete Breathing Techniques were simply too crude.
Even Hashira who completely mastered a Breathing style were still unranked in the chat group's evaluation.
In Kanae's view, if she could obtain the lost Sun Breathing, she might have a chance of being noticed by Ryuga. Otherwise, it was impossible to be valued.
Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly.
Looking carefully, Ryuga only purchased Flame Breathing—she wondered if he was conducting research.
"Can he research other forms by only purchasing one?"
Kanae worried slightly but didn't voice it in the group.
She didn't want to be misunderstood as wanting points.
Compared to Master Ryuga's insights, mere points meant nothing.
[Kanae: "Thank you for Ryuga-sama's favor!"]
After thinking it over, Kanae still felt she needed to express gratitude.
Courtesy costs nothing!
In the Type-Moon world, seeing this imperial concubine-receiving-favor-like language, the twin-tailed young girl was stunned, then her eyes widened.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Why suddenly say this? Even if you want to get closer to Ryuga-sama, this is too abrupt..."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Wait! Could it be that besides Erica, Ryuga-sama also bought skills from you?"]
After the question was sent, Kanae immediately replied with a smile emoji.
Good grief, the clown was me all along?
[Tohsaka Rin: "Wahhhhh! So frustrating, why is everyone's luck so good?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Ryuga-sama, look at me! Look at me!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Crying.JPG"]
Faced with this heaven-reaching level temptation, young Rin still abandoned her usual pride and shame, trying to attract Ryuga's attention.
For this, Madoka, seeing Tohsaka Rin like this for the first time, suddenly wanted to cover her face.
[Madoka: "Rin-nee, calm down!"]
[Madoka: "Aren't you afraid big brother will think you're crazy?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Calm down? How can I calm down at a time like this?"]
Rin slammed the table and shouted angrily.
This drew puzzled and worried looks from her nearby sister.
Sakura: "Sister's mental state seems quite concerning lately."
Faced with such looks, Rin chose to ignore them stubbornly and continued her passionate speech in the group.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Right now I just want to be chosen by Master Ryuga and reach the peak of life!"]
Half the people in the group had been selected by Ryuga—why wasn't it her turn yet?
[Madoka: "Even so, you don't need to be so excited!"]
[Madoka: "Look at me, I'm very normal!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "That's because you haven't contacted your world's supernatural system yet!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "You're using Erica's power, of course you're not panicking!"]
Madoka's world wasn't an ordinary world—she just hadn't contacted her world's supernatural realm.
In this situation, the already optimized skills from Erica's world were sufficient for her use. Since it didn't concern her, naturally she wasn't panicking.
[Madoka: "Oh right!"]
The pink-haired girl suddenly understood.
So I was speaking without understanding the situation! Then never mind.
Continue, Rin-nee.
[Kanae: "Though little Rin has a point, there's really no need to be so anxious."]
[Kanae: "Rather than being anxious, why not find more types of products to sell? Maybe Ryuga-sama will be interested."]
Gentle Kanae reminded them after thinking.
Since Master Ryuga even took notice of her crude Breathing Techniques, it showed his interests were broad—perhaps some niche powers would attract him more.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Makes sense!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Tomorrow I'll go through my father's vault—he must have hidden many magics he hasn't told me about."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Thanks for the reminder, Kanae-nee!"]
[Kanae: "..."]
[Kanae: "I didn't mean for you to steal things."]
Kanae held her forehead helplessly.
Rin was good in every way, just a bit mischievous.
On this point, her Shinobu was more well-behaved and cute.
Of course, it would be even better if their personalities could be combined.
[Tohsaka Rin: "It's taking, not stealing!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "As the future head of the Tohsaka family, I have the authority to handle these magical materials!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Besides—if I'm not caught, it's not a crime!"]
[Kanae: "?"]
[Madoka: "?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "!"]
Obviously, everyone's question marks couldn't stop this filial daughter Tohsaka Rin from making her family patriarch drop gold coins.
Kanae, as an accomplice to criminal instigation, began self-reflection.
Just as the chat group was lively, Erica, who had been lurking for half a day, finally came online.
Her first words made everyone tense.
[Erica: "Though I really don't want to disturb Ryuga-sama's insights, do you have any methods to quickly increase strength? Side effects are fine! Even burning lifespan works!"]
[Erica: "Emergency situation, save me!"]
[Erica: "@Ryuga"]
Seeing the three rapidly scrolling messages, Tohsaka Rin's jaw dropped.
The flag really came true?
