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

However, compared to all that, Rin Tohsaka felt as if she had seen a savior. She hurriedly grasped Astraea's hand and asked, "Will you help me subdue her?!"

"Yes, Mr. Lowe asked me to help keep her in check this time."

Astraea said, "However, I will not attack her first. I will only intervene when she makes a mistake, because a battle between two goddesses is far too dangerous for humans. But rest assured, my child, I will definitely save you."

As she spoke, she stroked Rin Tohsaka's head and gently comforted her, "I won't let you get into danger."

Such a touch, such gentleness, almost made the utterly miserable Rin Tohsaka cry.

Let's see what a goddess is!

This is truly a goddess! Astraea, you are so gentle!

At the same time, she felt even worse because of the imbalance.

What makes Luvia so capable of summoning a goddess like that?

Why does he have to suffer like that?!

Although there were goddesses like Ereshkigal, they were completely dominated by Ishtarka, which was entirely her ordeal.

But as much as she envied her, she now hoped even more that Astraea could help her solve her problem.

Astraea thought about it. Although she couldn't fight Ishtar in a human city, given Ishtar's personality, she would definitely cause trouble. So...

In that case, it would be better to draw the target away from the other side and onto yourself.

So she made a request to Ereshkigal and Rin Tohsaka: could they stay at her place for the night, so that she could attract Ishtar when she woke up in the morning?

Rin Tohsaka naturally had no objection to this.

As for Ai Lei, she actually really wanted to chat with Luo Wei, but when she heard that Luo Wei was going along, she immediately agreed.

After all, with Rowe by his side and the chance to see Ishtar suffer a setback, he couldn't miss out on such a good opportunity.

So it was almost the next day.

When Ishtar awoke on the grass outside and all the ghost money around her had disappeared, she, as expected, was consumed by rage.

Meanwhile, at that very moment, Rowe was in the mansion playing chess with Astraea while waiting for the time to come.

It was around 8 a.m.

"coming."

Luo Wei released the chess piece, and the chessboard in front of him began to shake violently.

next moment--

Boom!!

A golden beam of light, as expected, pierced the dome of the mansion.

Astraea squinted her eyes.

"I only dozed off for a little while, I really didn't expect..."

Ishtar sat on Maana, staring at Astraea below with a displeased expression.

"A god actually dares to build his temple near me? Are you provoking me?!"

"..."

Seeing this situation, Luo Wei was not surprised at all.

After all, this was something that was expected long ago, something that was bound to happen.

only……

He still couldn't hold back when he saw Ishtar barge directly into Astraea's temple.

This guy's stupidity is truly beyond my imagination. Knowing full well that the other party is also a god, he barges into a god's temple—what's the difference between that and a magician breaking into another magician's workshop? In terms of the environment, he'll be severely disadvantaged.

Even a god-king wouldn't do something so foolish.

For example, An, the king of the gods in Sumer, never dared to enter the underworld of Ereshkigal to redeem Ishtar alone. He always had to bring a large group of gods with him. This was because even the king of gods would suffer greatly in the realms of other gods.

And Ishtar just walked in, looking so fresh and beautiful.

Upon witnessing this scene, aside from Lovi's speechlessness, Astraea was also unable to hold back her emotions.

She looked up and frowned as she gazed at Ma Anna, that scantily clad, arrogant, and utterly rude figure.

"What chaos this is... This is no ordinary chaotic god; we must strike hard."

She sighed inwardly and murmured to herself.

After a moment, it seemed that he had finally made up his mind or calmed down.

Astraea raised her head again, then gave Ishtar a benevolent smile. She then reached out and tore a slit in her obviously expensive blue dress, revealing her beautiful, white legs.

"It seems you've become so lawless in your own pantheon that you're used to it. I don't know how your parents disciplined you to raise a chaotic goddess like you, so different from Lord Ereshkigal, but..."

"I won't let you run wild. I'm ready to teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, Astraea's body was once again engulfed in blazing magic, clearly indicating that she had entered a state of battle.

"Huh? You want to teach me a lesson? Even Grandpa Enki wouldn't say such a thing to me. How dare you, a wild god from out of town, not only build such a temple near me, but also show such disrespect to me, the great Ishtar. I should be the one teaching you a lesson!"

Ishtar showed no mercy and also mobilized her own magic.

Luo Wei silently stood up, making room for the two of them to move around. Then he raised his hand and added a layer of defense to the temple, making it even more solid, to prevent the two of them from affecting Fuyuki City.

Finally, he found a sofa, sat down, and raised his hand to indicate that he was there.

"You guys fight your battles, don't worry about me. With me here, no matter how intense the fight gets, it won't hurt anyone else. You can fight with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Astraea breathed a sigh of relief and then gave Rowe a grateful look.

"Thank you, I won't let you down."

"Watch closely, Professor Luo Wei, I'm going to defeat Rin Tohsaka and that damn goddess together!"

This time it was Luvia who spoke.

Having achieved oneness with Astraea, she was now eager to try it out.

"Yeah, good luck. We're counting on you to save Fuyuki City."

Lowe clapped lightly, then gave a thumbs up.

"Hey! Don't cheer her on!"

Ishtar suddenly turned her head, then looked at Rovi with eyes that seemed to have been betrayed, and shouted.

For a moment, because of her somewhat aggrieved appearance, Luo Wei actually felt that Rin Tohsaka was also shouting.

However, even if Rin Tohsaka were here, she would definitely do the same.

He picked up a cup of tea, took a small sip, then waved slightly to the two figures above his head and said:

"If we're really going to fight, let's get started quickly."

"Hey! I've been wondering about this for a while now, what exactly is going on?"

Seeing that Lovi was acting as if it was none of his business, Ishtar started to jump up and down: "Weren't you on my side? How come you're with this wild god? And you should be fighting alongside me now!"

Are you serious?

Lovi squinted at Ishtar with a puzzled look and said, "Can you still fight? Because if I'm with you, you'll definitely find all sorts of reasons to push the problems onto me to solve, and then naturally enjoy the spoils of battle, right?"

"what?"

Ishtar was taken aback by Rowe's answer.

After careful consideration, she realized—

I do seem like I would do that, but...

"Isn't this obvious? I'm a goddess, okay? As a priest, you're obviously supposed to help me. Isn't that common sense?"

Ishtar tilted her head and spoke quite naturally.

"...When did I become your priest?"

For a moment, Luo Wei was even more speechless.

"Then why are you with her?!"

Ishtar directly questioned Astraea.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei waved his hand and replied, "In the Holy Grail War, it's only natural to find helpers and allies to form alliances. She is the helper I found."

"???"

Ishtar was completely bewildered. She stared at Rowe in disbelief and shouted, "What about me?! Even if you want to form an alliance, shouldn't it be me? We fought together! I played a huge role in Uruk!"

"One thing at a time. Although you did put in some effort, you also did a lot of foolish things. I would definitely lose out if I cooperated with you."

Luo Wei answered with ease.

"Isn't that all because of you? It's because you're all so useless that I have to work so hard. In short, I, Ishtar, am absolutely not wrong!"

Although suppressing her inner displeasure and considering Loki's strength, Ishtar refrained from attacking directly. However, in her attempts to justify herself, she still loved to shift blame. She perfectly embodied the saying, "The fault isn't mine, it's the world's!"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. You don't deserve to listen."

Seeing that she remained unchanged, Rowe knew that Ishtar's condition had most likely worsened again. So, she looked at Astraea and said, "Compared to you, I still think she's more reliable. At least, she's fair and understands what it means to fairly distribute tasks and reward merits, without hoarding wealth and credit. I think that's the true standard for cooperation, isn't it?"

"Thank you for your recognition. It's only natural. Since it's a collaboration, fairness is essential. Only fairness can serve as a bond connecting people."

Astraea nodded, then picked up the scales and said, "I assure you, I will uphold the truth of fairness!"

"Yes, you see."

Luo Wei tilted his head.

"You bastard...!!"

However, after being taught a lesson like that, Ishtar obviously wouldn't simply change her ways, and didn't even reflect on her behavior.

She looked up at Astraea, her eyes filled with rage:

"You even dare to steal other people's priests? Using your filthy body? This really makes me angry!"

This guy is obviously shirking responsibility again.

Seeing this, Astraea's expression darkened. She finally understood that what Rowe had described was true, and that Ishtar was even worse than she had imagined.
