Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

"There are some things you wouldn't understand, Fujimaru. Since our destination is in sight, we'll forge ahead no matter the cost. The responsibility of the living rests on your shoulders. We're off now."

As Senji Muramasa's familiar voice rang in his ears, Fujimaru Ritsuka silently brushed his bangs aside and looked up. He saw only countless large stars twisting like vortexes.

"Goodbye, you two old guys who loved to fight with me. Until we meet again..."

The pure white and empty dream collapsed.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, clutching the demon sword in her hand, continued to fall.

And so, the living, on whom all their hopes had been placed, awoke on the soft bed, clutching the demon sword.

He opened his eyes and saw the two empty boxes beside him, and the heavy demon sword in his hand.

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed, her fingers brushing over the long sword, and sure enough, she found an inscription at the end where there should be no hilt: Tomokari Muramasa.

“Alright, at least you can leave some trace. No, it won’t be just a trace.” Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered for a moment, then laughed. “I will make the name of Tomokari Muramasa resound throughout the world. Everyone will know that there was once an old man with red hair who never grew old and forged a demon sword powerful enough to slay gods.”

After a while, he began methodically making parts for his new knife.

Handle, handle roll, blade guard, scabbard, koi-guchi (carp mouth)...

They obtained the best materials and polished them with the utmost care, as if meditating on the Muramasa of Tomokari, becoming familiar with them bit by bit.

In a daze, he heard the teachings of Senji Muramasa repeatedly, and the Tōmō-kariya in his hand began to move rhythmically with his breathing.

In his mind, the lives of Senji Muramasa and Edmund seemed to be replaying endlessly.

In just a few hours, he seemed to be reliving the past of the two heroic spirits in a daze, and then he forgot all the specific details.

What remains are only bodily memories and sensations akin to experiences.

Suddenly, he drew the Tomu-kariya Muramasa: "With this, I sever my past karma, Tomu-kariya Muramasa!"

With a single slash, the invisible shackles were completely severed.

208

As if guided by a divine premonition, Fujimaru Ritsuka swung her sword.

The blade sliced ​​through the unknown object.

On a level invisible to the naked eye, inexplicable ripples spread out from it, instantly covering the entire Earth.

At the towering summit of Mount Everest, the clown codenamed Jealousy idly waves her long snake tail, occasionally craning her full human heart with amusement.

Being impaled on the altar by a long spear was the last bit of entertainment she could offer.

At that moment, a wonderful feeling arose spontaneously.

Having a mental connection with that being whom we'll tentatively call Bai Ji, she sensed the boundless anger and pain of the one in power.

"Ah, sometimes I have to say, my god is really like a beast, all muddle-headed and confused, guhahaha~~" The clown kept coughing up blood, but his eyes lit up.

The gods of the past seem to be bound and infected by invisible shackles. Although they have obtained a status similar to Gaia's consciousness, they are still unable to be independent. They are like ignorant infants still in the womb, acting spontaneously only by relying on their innate wildness.

Now, the umbilical cord that held it together has been severed, and it has lost its status as the soul of the planet, reduced to an independent entity. This sounds like a significant weakening, but the Joker doesn't care.

She followed God to follow His path; rather, this degradation actually gave Him greater potential. Her current weakness was merely a release from the past.

Even the nations on one side of the earth cannot be confident of opening the path to the Deep Seat. No matter how weakened a god may be, he cannot be touched by mere humans.

Once the enthronement is complete, the Supreme God will naturally possess even greater power than he does now, therefore...

"You've repeatedly weakened Him, torn apart the earth's veins to embark on your conquest, only to leave behind a rapidly rising god. Who else can you rely on? It's laughable, hahaha~~"

Wild laughter echoed across the highest peak on Earth, but the countries at its foot didn't see it that way.

"Report! The detection team has detected that codename 001's control over the spiritual vein has suddenly decreased by 18%. We are able to seize more control! Should we increase the extraction of energy from the spiritual vein?"

"Take the extra half as an energy reserve, and scatter the other half within the spiritual veins."

"Yes!"

After giving the order to the personnel controlling the magic array, Jia Kongming suppressed his ecstatic emotions.

As one of the earliest pioneers of the new era, he naturally understood the crux of all the problems.

The changes actually began much earlier; more than a decade ago, the impact from another dimension reached Earth.

Initially, it was the Earth's core, and a dimension different from reality, gradually becoming permeated by the laws of another time and space.

Initially, even the instruments could not detect any changes, and a new physical constant quietly appeared.

Mana, spirit particles, magic... call it whatever you like. This kind of thing couldn't even interfere with the past microscopic and macroscopic worlds at the beginning.

But in recent years, the anomaly has only begun to be noticed by everyone.

In the event later dubbed the "World Egg Unfolding," Hakuhime was one of the key figures. Her existence was confirmed during the destruction of the Reform Society a few years prior, causing a huge uproar.

In the course of several years of planning, the only way to deal with Him was to tear apart the earth's veins and cause Him great harm by a method similar to the ascension of the entire nation, and then leave the rest to His compatriots who remained on Earth.

But this was only because they had no other way to reach the dimension where Hakuhime was located.

Now, he discovered that Bai Ji had somehow lost control of the spiritual veins, which was enough to prove that her status as an enemy Gaia was beginning to decline.

"The odds of winning have increased from one in a million to one in a thousand? The decisive battle is in three days. What a pity I can't stay and watch." Jia Kongming revealed a smug smile.

-------------------------------------

Not knowing exactly what she had struck, Fujimaru Ritsuka only felt a sudden surge of pleasure throughout her body.

It's like having your glasses fogged up for ages, and then having a lovely older sister wipe them clean with a silk scarf pulled from her chest, finally allowing you to see the world clearly and beautifully.

"It feels so smooth, like watching a high-definition video~~~~~"

He barely had time to experience the high-definition world before his eyes were immediately blinded.

Something inexplicable and inexplicable completely obscured his entire body.

The massive magical reaction was generated in microseconds, as if someone had unleashed a Noble Phantasm of the Holy Lance level over his head.

"Waaaaaah (What's going on?)"

The back of her head slammed hard against the floor, but Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored the pain. Instead, her mind raced: "Even though I was attacked at this moment, I didn't feel any malice. And aside from the slight pain from the fall, the area on my face that was hit felt... soft?"

I'm just a little out of breath.

"Ugh~~ How did I wake up? Where am I? Hey? Fujimaru, why are you doing this to me?"

That familiar voice, but if you don't come down now, I'm going to die!

Fujimaru Ritsuka struggled frantically to get up, but unfortunately, the person pressing down on her was indeed a guy with the strength to lift a cauldron.

She seemed to think that Fujimaru Ritsuka was playing with her, and with the feeling of a cat seeing a living creature, she deliberately pressed down on Fujimaru Ritsuka to prevent him from moving.

You stinking old woman!

Enraged, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally managed to find a glimmer of light despite her obscured vision, and seized upon a strange red part, taking a bite!

"Hey! You're being a pervert!"

Feeling lighter, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally caught her breath, humming, "Mmm, it's a little sweet."

He glared at the guy in front of him, annoyed: "Luna, you were lying naked on my face and wouldn't let go, and when I bit you, you call that being a pervert?"

Luna, who was completely naked except for her long blonde hair covering her body, pouted in grievance: "What? I saw in the books and movies that guy on the shore brought me that it said girls can be pinned down, but boys can't touch them. If they touch, it'll easily turn into an action movie."

"...I'm telling you, you should watch less of those nonsensical works by Rohan Kishibe." Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled the blanket over her and threw it at her, saying fiercely, "If it weren't for the timing, you'd be celebrating Mother's Day next year?"

"Huh? You want me to get pregnant? It's not impossible, but what about the car? What about the house?" Luna casually draped the blanket over herself and slyly counted on her fingers.

"I'm really going to go and chop Rohan up on the shore!"

"But actually, you don't need any of that. If you want, I'm all for it." Luna placed her hands on her lower abdomen, awkwardly imitating her mother's mannerisms.

I have to say, this quilt is really white, oops.

Fujimaru Ritsuka only regretted the strict censorship—no, it was because she was under 18 and couldn't act recklessly. "Once my business is booming next year, you'll only be able to make a peace sign and say 'I was wrong!'"

At that moment, his door was blasted into pieces.

"Fujimaru! The enemy is... Ah, excuse me!"

Fully armed, Artoria took the lead, followed by assault team members Yukino and Yui, then Abigail, Utaha, and Lisa Lisa and others. Apart from two men who were probably exhausted, almost all the awakened individuals still in the mansion were present.

"The people... are all here." Fujimaru Ritsuka watched in despair as Abi's eyes were quickly covered by the underage girl next to her, who told her not to look. She felt utterly mortified.

He stretched out his hand in vain, his whole body transforming into the shape of Er Kang: "Let me explain!"

To make matters worse, the blond, red-eyed man with a darker complexion brazenly pressed himself against her back, asking curiously:

"Lixiang, are these your other good lovers? Didn't you promise to let me be your first wife? Aren't you going to introduce me to some of your younger sisters?"

"Don't add fuel to the fire by imitating those awful movies and TV shows that the shore gave you!"

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, die!"

For a moment, even Fujimaru Ritsuka's keen senses couldn't distinguish how many girls roared and charged forward; he only felt countless attacks coming like a torrential rain.

On the training field, Sasagawa Yagokoro was practicing hard with his subordinates when they heard a huge explosion.

He glanced at the mansion building, where a large chunk had been forcibly gnawed away, and pretended not to see it.

Since the emergency alarm inside the mansion didn't go off, then the boss must have done something wrong? Alright! Let's just pretend we didn't see it!

Today, the Chaldea Mansion is pleased to announce a renovation of the upper floors.

After the uproar, things settled down, and everyone was finally able to sit down in the conference room and talk properly.

Luna was taken to change several outfits but was not satisfied with any of them. In the end, she chose the style that Fujimaru Ritsuka had bought for her and used magic to weave a set of clothes for her.

So this guy deliberately didn't wear clothes to trick me, right?

Fujimaru Ritsuka was seething with hatred, kicking Luna relentlessly. She just chuckled, ignoring Fujimaru Ritsuka's dagger-like gaze, and stubbornly scooted to sit on his right.

Naturally, her behavior was bound to be displeasing to others. But strangely, no one said anything; they simply moved their chairs over silently.

In the end, Fujimaru Ritsuka's right side was Luna, and his left side was Yukino. Utaha and Yui leaned against the back of the chair and gave Fujimaru Ritsuka shoulder weight training on both sides, while Abi climbed directly onto Fujimaru Ritsuka's knees and obediently swung her legs.

Although no one seemed to be making any big moves or saying much, a strange atmosphere subtly permeated the air.

Only the guy on the right seemed oblivious to the situation; although he was huddled to the side, he kept looking around curiously.

Rohan Kishibe, who was called over by Ritsuka Fujimaru, was so shocked by the situation in the meeting room that he wanted to run away, but Lisa blocked his way.

He gasped, acting as a loyal air conditioner: "This...do you want me to help you with your fortune telling? All I can say is, this is a terrible omen for a woman. Your face is covered in black aura, and a death star is flashing above your head."
