In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"His personality is unclear... If it's a clergy role... wealth, beauty, and war?"

Rin Tohsaka tentatively answered.

"No, she's just a lawless narcissist."

Luo Wei raised his voice: "Moreover, although she loves gold as the goddess of wealth, she lacks the gold ratio in her destiny. So at this time, her divine power of war comes into play. Do you know how to get gold the fastest?"

"Could it be...?!"

Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened, clearly having guessed some crucial information.

"That's right, of course they'll rob it. When wealth and war are linked, then it's definitely going to be war used to plunder wealth, right?"

Luo Wei covered his forehead and said, "So you should know what's going to happen, right?"

"No, really?"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka broke out in a cold sweat. She said incredulously, "Isn't the Holy Grail supposed to grant Servants common sense about their era? She couldn't possibly..."

She couldn't continue speaking.

Because she realized that, given Ishtar's character, it was impossible for her to abide by the human order.

This means that...

"It seems you guessed the outcome. If you don't find a way to deal with this, Fuyuki City will soon have the strongest female bandit of this century, Rin Tohsaka."

Rowe turned his head and said quietly, "And remember, Ishtar will only stay for a week. Once it's over, she'll pack her bags and leave, and you'll be the one to take the blame for her."

"Ah, I can already imagine the news reporting that Rin Tohsaka, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Tohsaka family in Fuyuki City, has robbed a bank. I wonder how things will turn out."

Rin Tohsaka: "No!!!!"

Chapter 373 Love is Blind

After almost a day and a night of fussing,

Finally, the sun rose as usual the next day.

The world is fair; time will not stop because of someone's misfortune.

As dawn broke, Rin Tohsaka, who had been tossing and turning all night, finally drifted off to sleep.

And once she falls asleep, a new person will naturally take her place.

"Hmm, that was a really good sleep."

Rin Tohsaka sat up from the sofa, looked up at the sun outside the window, rubbed her eyes, and felt that the sunlight was particularly dazzling today.

"What time is it? Is Shamash back at work in his sun chariot? No, Shamash went to the Starry Sea with Goddess Ningsong a long time ago. So, is this modern sunlight? Hmm, there's definitely no sign of divine power, just normal celestial light. Not bad, right..."

"Although it has disturbed my rest, since it is an unconscious celestial body, I will let it go. After all, I am just that tolerant."

Ishtar tossed her hair and began talking to herself while facing the sun.

It seems that during the age of gods in Mesopotamia, she was often awakened in this way by her brother, the sun god Shamash.

However, even though he knew she was somewhat special, Luo Wei still couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw her acting crazy by staring at the sun as soon as she woke up in the morning.

At the same time, seemingly to conserve magic power, Ishtar did not wear her revealing divine attire, which would be considered extremely revealing by today's standards. Instead, she wore the same red dress as Rin Tohsaka. Combined with her almost identical aura to Rin Tohsaka, Lovi almost mistook her for Rin Tohsaka.

"Are you awake? Come and have breakfast."

When he saw that the person who had woken up was indeed Ishtar, as expected, Lovi sighed and then brought the breakfast he had just prepared to her and placed it on the tea table.

"Yeah, you're still here~"

Ishtar crossed her arms and, seeing that Rowe was still in front of her, said with a hint of smugness, "Since you actually greeted me so early, I'll give you a few compliments."

Then, she looked down at the few pieces of bread and an egg on her plate and frowned.

"Are you preparing to offer this kind of food to the goddess first thing in the morning?"

"Because of what you caused yesterday, I stayed by your side all night without sleeping. I didn't have time to prepare a lavish meal for you. Just eat something simple. It's better than what we ate on the road when we were fighting Tiamat."

Luo Wei covered his forehead and said:

"And I remember when you were driven out of the temple by Artoria and wandered outside, you were so destitute that you even had to eat grass... wasn't that right?"

"Don't mention that kind of thing!"

Just as Ishtar was about to throw a tantrum, her eyes suddenly sharpened when Lovi mentioned her past misfortunes, and she quickly interrupted Lovi.

That period can be described as the darkest moment in her career as a goddess.

The foreign goddess bullied her.

Gilgamesh bullied her.

Ereshkigal also bullied her.

It could be said that the whole of Mesopotamia was bullying her relentlessly.

Although the misunderstanding was cleared up later, that experience was very painful for Ishtar, so she never thinks about it on her own initiative.

"Alright, let's not talk about it. Since that's the case, I'll give you a compliment. After all, you protected this goddess for a whole night, which is the highest honor."

Ishtar said proudly, as she was about to extend her foot as usual, to say something about giving Lovi the favor of touching the back of her foot, when she suddenly remembered the scene in Mesopotamia when Lovi tormented her.

So, to avoid being bullied again, she silently swallowed her words, then plopped down in front of Luo Wei and began to eat seriously.

Although goddesses don't need to eat.

However, due to her body's needs, Rin Tohsaka's body required nutrition, and in order to have more energy and stamina, Ishtar began to eat seriously.

However, the thought that Rowe had actually kept watch over her all night made Ishtar's expression turn slightly smug.

After all, she had shown Lovi the beauty of the goddess when they were in Mesopotamia, and even suggested that if Lovi could please her, she might grant him some of the goddess's favors. However, at the time, Lovi not only showed no interest whatsoever, but he was also manipulated by her.

Now it seems he was just pretending to be serious after all.

But this is only natural, after all, no one in this world can resist the beauty of Ishtar, the goddess of love and beauty.

He wasn't interested in Mesopotamia, probably because of the black storm goddess, and didn't dare to show it. But now he's been captured by her, hasn't he?

Staying by a goddess's side for a day and a night was considered a way of courting in her time.

Feeling that he had regained some ground, Ishtar unknowingly fell into self-delusion.

However, from Luo Wei's perspective, he only saw the goddess halfway through her breakfast, then started grinning foolishly with a piece of bread in her mouth. He was speechless and thought to himself, "This woman has finally gone mad."

In reality, if Lovi knew what Ishtar was thinking at that moment, he would first have his lips twitch involuntarily, then slap Ishtar with a look of disgust, and then properly explain how he could possibly be infatuated with a goddess of the Aqua lineage.

The reason he's sitting here.

It was because Rin Tohsaka had held him back from leaving last night, fearing that the two goddesses would cause trouble again.

He originally intended to sleep in the guest room, but the moment he opened the door, he saw Meryl, bathed in moonlight, lying on his side on his bed, looking at him with a rather ambiguous gaze, and in an extremely blatant seduction. To win, Meryl had even specially worn a white lingerie set that was more revealing than a swimsuit, clearly preparing to have a go at Rin Tohsaka's house, completely disregarding the fact that this was Rin Tohsaka's house.

Putting aside whether I have worldly desires, just doing this kind of thing in someone else's house, especially with only one wall separating me from Rin Tohsaka, the sound could probably be heard, and the impact would be really bad.

Mary may lack morality and shame, but I do have them.

So, to prevent things from happening between a man and a woman alone in someone else's house, Luo Wei went to the sofa where Rin Tohsaka was to meditate and regulate his breathing. During this time, to prevent Meryl from doing something outrageous in front of Rin Tohsaka in the middle of the night, he stayed awake and did not fall asleep, which is why he has been sitting here all night.

"So... what about Ereshkigal?"

Ignoring Ishtar's wild thoughts, Lovi looked into her eyes, which were gleaming with golden light, and asked, "Leaving aside Rin Tohsaka for now, if you've already woken up, then there's no reason why Ereshkigal shouldn't be awake, right? Why hasn't she made a sound yet?"

"Ah... so you're concerned about that guy?"

Upon hearing Lovi's words, Ishtar's expression suddenly fell, and her eyes began to sharpen.

However, she didn't hide anything and directly explained the current situation.

"That girl is awake, but because of what happened yesterday, I made a deal with her."

"trade?"

“That’s right.” Ishtar nodded. “To prevent our hard-earned trip from being ruined by each other, we discussed it yesterday while we were being suppressed by Command Spells, and the conclusion we came to was to share our time.”

"Allocate time?"

Upon hearing Ishtar's words, Rowe suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Well, I'll do the daytime, and she'll do the nighttime. We'll each take turns doing twelve hours of activity. If we encounter any enemies, we'll decide who to switch roles with. That should be fine."

Ishtar touched her slender, jade-like hand, then said casually.

Clearly, when allocating time, they completely disregarded Rin Tohsaka, treating her entirely as a mecha.

Poor Rin Tohsaka...

Hearing their arrangements, even Luo Wei couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy.

"Alright, we've almost finished eating. Now let's get down to business."

Ishtar suddenly changed the subject and looked back at Lovi in ​​front of her.

"Is this serious business?"

Hearing her say that, Luo Wei was a little confused. "What important matter?"

"Do I need to remind you? Of course, it's the wealth you owe me that you promised before. Gilgamesh is already bankrupt and is now working for Ereshkigal. It's impossible to collect the debt from him, so naturally you're the one to pay it back."

Ishtar said with utmost seriousness, then stretched out her hand, "You must have a lot of wealth in this world, right? Now give it all to me."

Luo Wei: "..."

So that's what this debt is.

Sure enough, Ishtar remained Ishtar. Though usually careless, she became exceptionally shrewd when it came to money. Even after all this time, she would never forget who owed her money.

Now, it's not just Rin Tohsaka who's in trouble; it seems like I'm in trouble too.

"Ah, so that's what it is... No problem, no problem, it's nothing."

Lovi did not deny it outright, but thought it over and agreed, temporarily stabilizing Ishtar.

but……

"Ishtar, you should have learned the common sense of this era from the Holy Grail, right?"

"Common sense? All that nonsense? Hmm, I know it all, so what?"

Ishtar nodded; she did indeed possess almost all the basic common sense about humanity in this era.

"Well, that makes things simpler. In that case, you probably don't mind hearing me talk about paying off the debt, right?"
