40. The pristine white-haired Abi arrives (Fourth update)

"You are beneath me, and I entrust my fate to your sword."

The back of her hand burned, just like back in the cave (Chapter 2). The difference was that this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka truly felt that she was being linked—even though it was a broken link, a bright red holy mark faintly appeared on the back of her hand.

“Obey the call of the Holy Grail. If you follow this will and the principles of God, answer now—I swear here that I will do the good of the world and rid the world of all evil.”

The surrounding scenery changed amidst the blur, revealing a bright starry night. It was not the starry sky that had existed in the previous dreamscape, but a more ancient one—the [correct] position of the stars, a dazzling and magnificent star dance party.

The formless and ignorant thing that lingers beyond the [past] seems to have received a command from the unseen world. It burns its vast and complex information, constantly changing its form, transforming into a biased spiritual substance, and constantly moving towards [this moment].

"The three great incantations surrounding you come from the Wheel of Restraint, the guardian of the scales!"

The door was flung open, and in the unknowable distance, at the very end of the infinite, in the outermost world, a little girl's cheers rang out. Along with the changing elements flowing upstream from the past, they arrived at this moment. Everything was distorted under the descent of a greater will, molded into the form desired by the transcendent:

"Hey~ Young lady, a pupa whose moral compass hasn't even been established yet, reporting for duty! Captain~ Let's spend a leisurely summer together~ Huh?"

A white figure crashed into Fujimaru Ritsuka, knocking him to the ground. But surprisingly, the soft touch didn't cause him any pain from the impact.

A little girl, dressed in a white one-piece swimsuit, rode on Fujimaru Ritsuka's back, groping her body in surprise: "Huh? What's going on? Why is Abby dressed like this? Abby's going to turn into a bad girl!"

Abigail Williams was a little flustered. She had intended to descend in a manner that suggested they were having fun together in Salem, but the power of the ritual ultimately had an inclination. During the Spirit Origin creation, the power from the pseudo-dreamscape seeped into this body, causing her to appear before the Commander in a rather shameless manner.

(Will Abby be seen as a bad kid? But it's okay, give Abby some time, and she'll be able to change her Spirit Origin back to normal.)

Abigail, her face flushed and her heart pounding, remained straddling Fujimaru Ritsuka without making a move.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, rubbing her still slightly sore nose, said, "Abby, if you don't get up, I'm going to turn into a bad kid~~"

"Hey, Captain, how did you end up on the ground? Hehehe~ Abigail, get up, hehe." Abigail, who is only 152cm tall, easily pulled Fujimaru Ritsuka up from the ground with one hand.

"Ahhh, it's my lord, it's my lord~~~" Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could catch up with Abigail, a blood-covered figure pounced over, wanting to worship his god.

"Drink up! What is this?!" Abby picked up a white swimming ring that looked like the foundation stone of a god's throne (referring to the nut) and hit it with a home run, sending the uninvited Aki Tomoya flying.

She looked frightened and hid behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, the ornament on her head that looked like a Puritan priest's hat trembling nervously: "Captain-san, are we going to fight the enemy as soon as we arrive? I-I'll do my best!" She clenched her small fists, encouraging herself.

That's enough, no more fighting, the mastermind has been defeated by you.

Fujimaru Ritsuka patted Abby's head and praised her, "No need, Abby has already chased away the bad guys. That's amazing."

"Hehehe~~" Abigail squinted her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the large hand, feeling very happy: Sure enough, sneaking out again was a good choice~~~

(罒д 罒)

Fujimaru Ritsuka was enjoying a happy time when she sensed two strange gazes.

"Kasumigaoka, is this what they call a lolicon?"

"Perhaps Yukinoshita went berserk because of the too much sanity sacrificed during the guiding ritual?"

"Ah, that's not right. Let's tie Fujimaru up right now, lest he go berserk and get beaten to a pulp by that little girl."

"Yeah, I think so too. Come on, tie it up..."

"Stop! We know each other, don't we?" Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately made a gesture like Er Kang, pleading vehemently, "By the way, don't let her small appearance fool you... ouch."

Abigail casually lifted Fujimaru Ritsuka's waist with her hand: "Even if you're the captain, there are some things you'd better not say out loud."

With a meaningful look, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately cast her ball.

What? This state of yours is supposedly the result of growing up after a trip. Who knows how much time has passed!

Abigail is a loli! Anyone who dares to think that way will be destroyed.

Satisfied, Abigail stopped what she was doing and happily introduced herself to the two high school girls: "My two beautiful sisters, I am Abigail Williams~ Nice to meet you. I am an old acquaintance of the captain and came here to visit the captain."

Hmm, why do I have this feeling of being threatened?

Utaha glanced at Yukino, who looked troubled, indicating that she was a bit of a handful with children. Utaha cursed inwardly for being useless, then bent down slightly, gently brushed her long hair behind her ear, and extended her hand: "Hello, Abby, I'm Utaha Kasumigaoka, and that's Yukinoshita Yukino. It's nice to meet you."

"Hmm~" Abigail's eyes curved into crescent shapes as she happily shook hands, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

However, the ignored man finally caught his breath and struggled to his feet: "My lord! Why are you standing next to that man? I called upon you, why did you just stand there watching!"

OMO

Abigail's large eyes were filled with great doubt: "Who are you?"

"Pfft pfft pfft~~~~~~!" Aki Tomoya, as if possessed, spat out a long mouthful of blood into the air.

Sensing something strange, Abigail tugged at Fujimaru Ritsuka's sleeve anxiously and asked unhappily, "Abigail...did you do something wrong again? A long time ago, Abigail sensed that the Captain's soul had unexpectedly come here. Although the Captain has escaped that narrow space between the universe and the void that cannot be touched even with a fingertip, Abigail is a little lonely, so she tried to call out to the Captain."

It matches! It matches!

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized.

So it was Abby who discovered I was here, stumbled upon the place, and then tried to call out to me. But only a certain entity residing in the Great Library of Seraino in a distant, otherworldly universe could accomplish something like that. In some ways, she is already close to Bubble's clone, the guardian of the portal to time and space, the ancient immortal Tavel At Umur.

Therefore, her call naturally possessed the power of meme infection, which was captured by someone in this world, allowing Aki Tomoya to glimpse this power and thus enabling him to use his own power to spread meme information on the internet and infect others.

Otherwise, there are other theoretical giants in the world, so why can't they reach the level of Aki Tomoya?

Was it another unexpected chain reaction caused by [Witch's Judgment: A+]?

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed and grasped Abigail Williams' hand in return: "Don't worry, Abigail. This isn't entirely your fault. Your existence naturally has an impact, but how can you bear the consequences of others using your power to realize their own delusions?"

“But…” Abigail hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Be good, Abby, or you'll be a bad girl. Good girls should be able to act cute sometimes." Fujimaru Ritsuka ruffled her big bun (referring to her hair), only letting go after she protested.

“I feel these symptoms will last a long time.” “So, should we still tie it up?” “I second that.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored the two whispering and slandering her—doting on Abby, can that be called being a lolicon? How immature!

He walked straight to Aki Tomoya, who had almost vomited blood, intending to settle the matter.

"Wait a minute! Lord Fujimaru, could you please not kill that guy?" The strange creature, who looked like a fat cat but was actually a doppelganger of Aki Tomoya, used the Fierce Tiger Landing Strike, flipping 360 degrees in mid-air before landing and begging for mercy.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was subtle: I didn't say I was going to kill him.

41. The Dreamland: Give Me a Change!

"This guy, there's no need for you to dirty your hands..." Anki-neko revealed a sinister expression, "Leave him to me, let me suck him... waaaaaahhhhhh~~"

Fujimaru Ritsuka grabbed the fat cat by the scruff of its neck and whipped it around like a whirlwind, leaving it dizzy and disoriented. When it landed on the ground, its limbs were floating.

Looking at the fat cat with great interest, Fujimaru Ritsuka had not forgotten its true nature: this was not a cat, but a strange creature with some of Aki Tomoya's thoughts and most of his memories.

However, it was pleading for its prototype—"Give it a chance to be drained? It's questionable whether you, fat cat, will even survive. It would be a good thing if you were tied up and put on the operating table by all sorts of people after you get out."

Touching her chin, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously, "Why did you plead for him? As a doppelganger, you were not only twisted from a human into a cat, but also treated like a trash can filled with all sorts of weird things. Aren't you angry?"

Aki-nyan also showed a thoughtful expression: "Eh, you're right. I'm a weirdo, the kind that's always going against the original, so why should I be a good cat? -- I wouldn't say that."

“Mr. Fujimaru, do you know what the supernatural is?” Aki-nyan didn’t wait for his answer, sat up cross-legged, wagged her tail, and said slowly, “The supernatural is nothing but an ethereal legend, a strange tale that people in the city are keen on, or the deepest fear in people’s hearts, combined with some supernatural material that comes from nowhere—meaningless things.”

"Most of us don't think, because thinking is something only individuals with a future can do. We just repeat the resentment we've been given or the rules that kill others. Blind and ignorant, at best we can only imitate, like ants born in the morning and dying in the evening."

An Yi Miao sighed, "Then this guy stuffed a whole bunch of memories into me, along with the positive emotions he saw as weak and the remnants of his values ​​that were stripped away. I think he's hateful, but that doesn't stop me from pleading for him in his current pitiful state."

“emmmmmm…” Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered his words, while Aki swallowed hard.

Now, I don't owe you anything anymore, right, the original version?

While Aki-neko was indulging in self-pity, she suddenly heard a sentence: "So in a sense, he is your father?"

"Cough cough cough..."

I choked.

Tomoya Aki wasn't exactly a kill target for Ritsuka Fujimaru. All things considered, what did he do? He killed a group of cultists and helped summon Abigail Williams. If he hadn't killed those arrogant, incompetent members of the Special Affairs Bureau, it seems he didn't commit any real crime in the end?

So Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't bother to deal with him. She just took him out and handed him over to the Special Affairs Bureau to handle. However, she still had to keep him quiet and not let anyone know about Abi's background.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, having happily played with the ethical dilemma, said contentedly, "I still can't do something as cruel as killing my father in front of my son."

"Don't make wild connections, meow!" An Yi Meow retorted excitedly, her meows, which had just subsided, bursting out again.

"Hey... this cat is actually a good kid~" Abigail secretly came over and replenished her Master energy next to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fujimaru Ritsuka patted her head: "Yes~ How pitiful. The father fell into the quagmire of cult worship, and because of his obedient son's advice, he cruelly turned it into a cat monster. What a human tragedy."

With just a few words, some heartless fellow concocted a melodramatic farce, leaving Abigail heartbroken: "So it was the little one who got dragged into this, Abigail has made her decision!"

Anki-nyan wanted to weakly defend itself, but at that moment, it sensed that a turning point in its fate had quietly arrived. A premonition crept up its spine, and it immediately shut its mouth.

Abigail was oblivious, standing with her hands on her hips, looking quite smug: "Since you're someone who got caught up in this, then Abigail happens to have a way to deal with it."

"That tattered fragment of the Holy Grail still has a bit of magic. Before you completely escape the imaginary space, let Abigail turn you back into a human!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked – Abby, you can do that too? You're amazing! But it sounds interesting, so let's wait and see.

Aki-neko excitedly swished its tail like a fan, making one wonder if it had husky blood. It obediently listened to Abby and stood on the altar.

"Meow!" Two cats with eerie, single-eyed eyes pounced out, staring at Anki-neko with deep hostility, as if they were shouting something, and then rubbed against Abby's legs.

You actually have other cats outside.

An Yi Miao felt that this was roughly what it meant. It shrank back and raised its hands in surrender: "Two big shots, talk nicely. I'm not new here! I just came to mooch some magic and I'll leave right away."

It trembled like a leaf, not daring to make a move. Because, beneath the fur of those two already eerie cats, it sensed a deep terror slowly creeping in, as if it were about to pounce and kill it at any moment.

"Alright, Noshu! Rutal! You've scared the kids half to death! Stop being naughty!" Abby scolded the two little ones.

No, sister, if you do that, I'll still hold a grudge!

Anki-nyan trembled, sensing that the two monster cats opposite it had lost favor with it. Because of this, it failed to notice a certain word in Abby's words and lost its last chance to correct it.

Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed and grinned happily.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, pen in hand, prepared to record Abigail's next spell. Only Yukinoshita Yukino noticed Fujimaru Ritsuka's unusual behavior. She asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

"I thought of something happy... cough cough cough, don't ask, don't ask, let's watch the game." Fujimaru Ritsuka loudly covered up her thoughts.

Abby put down the two cats, and with a wave of her hand, the remaining fragments of the Holy Grail floated into her hands. She grasped the fragments with both hands: "I'A~Eiyayahaa fhtagn! Father, lend me your power. To realize the dream I have longed for."

The rich fragrance of roses appeared, and the power of the dream realm manifested on the altar. Perhaps it was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle. In the imaginary space, under the influence of the remaining magic of the Omnipotent Cauldron, Aki-nyan felt her form changing.
