Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

"I see, you have reasons why you have to speed things up, right?"

In response to Hitagi Senjougahara's question, which she had asked with certainty, Ritsuka Fujimaru remained noncommittal: "That's right. Therefore, as a reward for your kindness, I suggest that you find a way to create a safe environment for the people you care about in the near future."

As for what constitutes a safe environment, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't give a clear answer either. After all, even Kishibe Rohan, who possessed Merlin's clairvoyance, was clueless about what kind of events Shirahime would bring, as if the possibility of observation was hindered by a much larger phenomenon.

"...Okay! Then I'll bring my father and a few others I know to Chiba City to stay for a while. By the way, could you arrange a few houses for me near you? I'll find someone to give you enough funds to set them up, how about that?" Senjougahara Hitagi, without saying a word, decisively prepared to move.

She even planned to bring her lesbian-obsessed junior classmate and her pitiful yet resilient bespectacled classmate to Chiba City as well. Hmm, she'd solve that with a summer camp.

Anyway, there are enough wealthy believers at Fushimi Inari Shrine.

"Hiss... You really trust us that much? You know, Chaldea has only been barely maintaining peace in the city until now."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was having a bit of a headache.

"If I help you resell the potion you have to a devout believer who collaborates with the shrine, I can probably earn 100 million yen. I'll donate it all to your Chaldea."

"We, Chaldea, are not that kind of organization!" (?﹃?)

"I'm not talking about yen, you know. Oh dear, is it Chinese currency, US dollars, or euros?" Senjougahara Hitagi drawled, glancing at him sideways.

"Chaldea serves you with integrity and guarantees the safety of your family." Fujimaru Ritsuka bowed to her chest, like a knight-errant who would follow in the footsteps of a god.

Manny, my eternal goddess!

"You're so honest. To be honest, I feel your contribution exchange mechanism isn't quite enough."

"What do you mean?" Chaldea's chief administrator humbly asked for advice. The woman before him was a priestess who was in charge of the harvest and commerce; perhaps she had some good ideas.

"Let me ask you this: is your goal to increase the number of superhumans as much as possible, while ensuring that they can be responsible for the security of various regions in the future and protect the safety of others?"

“That’s right!” Fujimaru Ritsuka and Yukinoshita Haruno were convinced; she really did have some skills.

“That makes things easier. I suggest adding some clauses: first, to prevent them from being recruited by others as a private army; second, to prevent the other side from needing too much time to accumulate enough personnel to cope with the situation; and third, to accelerate the increase in numbers while also improving the strength of existing personnel.”

Senjougahara Hitagi bent down three fingers in sequence, then said with a smile, "So, why not use advance payment or group buying?"

"Knowledge of extraordinary techniques is valuable, but in a sense, it has no cost. Therefore, it can be borrowed in advance, and its spread only needs to be limited. The contribution and consumption in this regard can be obtained through overdraft. In contrast, one needs to be responsible for the order of a certain area. At the same time, skilled individuals can be developed into extraordinary beings to reduce their stationing period, but they also need to act as mentors to be responsible for the newcomers. In this way, a certain degree of virus spread can be achieved."

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have a new world opened up for her: "Great idea! Moreover, we can also consider adding preferential terms. We can use the market price to balance the value of our contributions, but in contrast, if we bring in more superhumans, we can get the temptation of prices close to cost. And after newly recruited superhumans spontaneously form teams, they can also get preferential treatment on superhuman materials, but if they die, they will be held accountable."

For a moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little embarrassed—wasn't it a bit unethical to have overdrawn her credit in the supernatural industry and then ask Takanami Yuu for help?

However, he himself could foresee how powerful the viral spread would be and how much change it would cause in a short period of time.

Just die.

Of course, capitalists have no heart. Unlike Ritsuka Fujimaru back then, Haruno and Hitagi Senjougahara almost immediately grasped the intricacies of the matter.

As mentioned before, the Tosa nobility in Japan runs deep. Small cliques easily form naturally in the same place or at the same school.

By doing this, by simply patching up some easily exploitable flaws and loopholes, a mentoring atmosphere can be quickly established between the old and new superhumans, while also strengthening the possibility of team cooperation.

How could capitalists let such a good thing pass them by?

So the three of them huddled together, quietly discussing the issues that needed to be improved, occasionally bothering Lisa and the others who were far away in the mansion. Finally, they agreed on a solution after confirming that all the mandatory content could be remedied in the form of a mandatory contract to prevent it from being exploited.

Next, the forces that were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the potion at the Spellcasting Association Center received an updated contract with a blank expression.

Not only could they not interfere with what Fujimaru Ritsuka was doing, they had to cooperate with him to spread the word widely within their respective territories and even the territories of their alliances.

This is a supplementary treaty for obtaining the medicine.

However, upon closer inspection of the contract, it seemed to only increase the number of extraordinary individuals in the managed area, and he could potentially recruit them, so he didn't take it seriously.

On the contrary, they seem to be enjoying a kind of sly, almost predatory, pleasure—it feels like they're actually cultivating future strength for us. Although they'll later have to repay their contribution points with resources or missions, they can still be used to our advantage.

Only Tsuchimikado Yasuma could see it clearly, but he remained silent throughout.

He's not really on the same page as the others. In any case, the increasing number of extraordinary individuals can actually be helpful in today's environment where bizarre occurrences are becoming more frequent. All that's needed is to manage and restrain them.

Ultimately, none of these families that are trying to block the path to transcendence have the strength to stand against the world on their own. Even Chaldea doesn't have that. So don't talk about monopolizing the power of the extraordinary. They will only be torn apart and overthrown.

Therefore, he worked harder than other factions to complete the Chaldean agreement, while his uncle, frustrated by his lack of ambition, was now engrossed in studying the Yin-Yang theory provided by Chaldea, and the family affairs were basically handed over to him.

In about two or three days, Tsuchimikado Yasumaru met Fujimaru Ritsuka again. He heard the boy speak frankly: "Tsuchimikado Yasumaru, would you be willing to become the acting administrator of Kayo, and in my spare time when Haruno and I are not available, to work with Fushimi Inari Taisha to manage the specific operations?"

"I dare not disobey your command and am willing to serve Fujimaru-kun."

Thus, the final gain in Kyoto was Tsuchimikado Yasumasa's wholehearted devotion.

After accepting Tsuchimikado Yasumasa's duties, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed no hesitation and immediately returned to Chiba City with Chaldea and a fox as a burden.

The main tasks have been completed. It's time to go back and see if there are any surprises at Lisa Lisa's place, and if Rohan Kishibe has any new information.

Incidentally, they traveled by private jet this time, and upon arrival at the airport, a helicopter picked them up and took them directly back to the mansion, showcasing their unparalleled privilege and extravagant wealth throughout the entire process.

"Damn rich people." xN

"Mikon!" Senjougahara Hitagi acts cute like a fox. (JPG)

But what evil intentions could a fox possibly have?

Hitagi Senjougahara stated that she did not intend to flaunt the wealth and connections of Fushimi Inari Shrine to Chaldea—that was just a side effect.

The main reason she got the helicopter from the Osaka Foundation, which she knew, was to survey the area around the mansion.

"After all, think about it. Your mansion is a bit far from the city center, but it's close to the coastline, so the scenery is nice. But that also means we need to find a good location that's both strategically advantageous and defensive. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing my friends and family here for vacation, would I?"

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

But soon the fox revealed her despicable side.

"Hmm, this place is not bad. It's relatively close to the mansion, but it's also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there's an escape route. But why is there a house here?"

"Ah, this belongs to our Chaldea ally, Mr. Kishibe Rohan. He awakened Merlin's power."

“Good! Then I definitely have to convince Kishibe Rohan-sensei to choose this area. That way, even if something goes wrong at the mansion, Kishibe Rohan-sensei can be the scapegoat.”

Foreword retracted; the fox has many wicked schemes.

Fujimaru Ritsuka helplessly shrugged: "Then you'll have to convince him."

What does he like?

Say NO to those self-important guys!

"Oh, so you like researching."

"You little fox, can you read minds?"

"Oh dear, I was just recalling an interview with Rohan Kishibe. By the way, I really love his old work, 'Red and Black Boy'." Hitagi Senjougahara narrowed her eyes. "Especially the BL doujinshi."

"Apologize to Ms. Kishibe!"

Amidst the commotion, the group returned to the mansion. Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed an unexpected person facing them in the hall and raised her hand in greeting: "Yo, Hiratsuka-sensei~ What a rare guest! We're back from Kyoto after finishing some business... What's wrong with you? You keep making faces at me."

Hiratsuka Shizuka slapped her forehead hard, speechless.

Pink hair rose from the sofa, which was facing away from them.

ゴゴゴゴゴゴ

Mrs. Yuihama revealed a sinister smile, full of murderous intent: "Nice to meet you."

"The boy who kidnapped my daughter!"

188. Rohan Kishibe, are you watching me?!

"Ahahaha, hello madam, it's the first time we've met..." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and moved aside, revealing Yuigahama Yui behind her.

All kinds of martial arts skills, but this is a skill that brings disaster!

Mrs. Yuihama's eyes lit up, she put her hands on her hips and stared intently at Yuihama.

Yui Yuigahama instinctively took a step back, preparing to make a run for it, but her escape route was blocked.

?

Yui turned around in alarm, only to see Artoria sigh and shake her head: "I'm sorry. I think it's better for mother and daughter to have a clear talk."

Yes, it seems Artoria has learned from her and Mordred's experience and is hoping to see a warm family gathering... what a joke!

My king, could you please wipe the crumbs from the corner of your mouth first?

Artoria noticed the stares from the crowd and casually wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth with her fingers.

...The perfect king, even his face has become perfect, right?

Yui Yuigahama turned to her companion in a panic, hoping to get help.

But all I got in return were a bunch of helpless looks.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: Yui, you know me. My family is always away on the move, almost 300... cough cough, I haven't seen them much in the last 3 months.

Yukino Yukinoshita: Yui, you know me. My sister, mother, and I rarely have a proper conversation, so I have no idea what to talk about in this kind of situation.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: Yui, you know me. I've always been a top student, and I'm very opinionated. My family can't control me, and I can even use my editor as an excuse to [go into seclusion].

Yukino Yukinoshita: Yui, you know me. The fact that I'm not kicking someone when they're down is already a sign that my temper has improved recently, plus I'm really happy now that I'm a superhuman.

Abigail: Hey, why is Yui trying so hard to blink at me? Are your eyes dry?

I'm desperate. I'm desperate for Chaldea, where one second we're all happily helping each other, and the next we're either sabotaging each other or completely useless.

Yui could only steel herself and hesitantly move over, saying, "Mom..."

He seemed to want to speak but held back, his head almost buried in his chest.

Mrs. Yuigahama's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Yui, what! What have you been doing...?"

"Hey! Mom, don't cry. Look, I'm back safe and sound. See, I'm perfectly fine." Yui Yuigahama frantically rolled up her sleeves, as if afraid her mother wouldn't know she had really been through a battle.

"Huh, is it just my imagination? I feel like Yuihama is getting sillier and naive..."

"Maybe it's because they're canines? After all, cats are more intelligent!" Yukino, a cat enthusiast, made a conclusion based on strong prejudice.

"Slandering canines?" The fox witch was displeased.

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, watching Yui Yuigahama frantically comfort her mother, who was silent but crying. They couldn't help but sigh: How could such a good girl be so clumsy?

Yui Yuigahama couldn't do anything about it, but the power of role models is immense.

Having observed how someone handles awkward situations, she tried to change the subject, albeit awkwardly: "By the way, Mom, how did you know?"

Everyone immediately felt that this dish was so appetizing; it was really filling.
