While Rin Tohsaka looked uncomfortable, Merry's small hand carefully touched her body, her fingertips even tracing the locations of her magic circuits all over her body. This strange electric sensation made Rin Tohsaka's body tremble slightly.

She whirled around to look at Meryl, only to find the woman staring at her with a strange look and a delighted smile, as if admiring a work of art. If Rin Tohsaka hadn't known that the woman was helping her solve her problem, she would have kicked her away as a pervert.

"Ahem, of course I was only talking about magic circuits, not that part of your body."

Seemingly noticing Rin Tohsaka's disdainful look, Merry coughed a few times and then gave a serious explanation, which only made Rin Tohsaka even more speechless.

What do you mean by "not that part"?!

Why are you all staring at that spot?!

And Luvia, well, you're not that much older, are you?!

Despite thinking this, Rin Tohsaka still didn't dare yell at Merry. Instead, she looked like she'd been played with and said something that sounded utterly speechless.

"No... are you really examining my body? I get the feeling you're just using this as an excuse to satisfy some perverted fetish. I really didn't expect that examining magic circuits would require specific breasts! You must have something else going on, you must! Right?"

"We were discovered after all."

Upon hearing this, Merry wiped her drool and then smiled, saying, "Okay, I do have a bit of a personal hobby here. After all, Lily doesn't let me touch you randomly anymore. Your figure is most similar to Lily's used to be, so I thought I'd take some material from you. But, I am indeed helping you now. I'm adjusting your magic circuits to help you go back from the level of the Age of Gods to the modern era."

"Huh? What do you mean by 'returning from the Age of Gods to the Modern Era'?! What did you do to my magic circuits?"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka looked astonished, especially after learning that the other party was constantly adjusting her magic circuits. She asked loudly:

"You don't know what adjusting the magic circuit means, do you? Are you a magician? How can you do this without the client's permission..."

"Don't be nervous. Although I'm not a magician and don't understand magic circuits very well, I can understand the basics of your modern magic circuits with just a glance. So I know that magic circuits are more important than the heart for you modern magicians. If given a choice, no magician would allow their magic circuits to be damaged, even if it meant death."

"Merry said with a smile."

"Then why are you still..."

Before Rin Tohsaka could finish speaking, Merry continued, "Just as you've been wondering, I have indeed adjusted the Age of Gods circuit to a modern circuit. But where do you think the Age of Gods circuit came from?"

"How...did they get here? Could it be a case of atavism?"

Upon hearing this, Merry waved her finger, then stared at Rin Tohsaka with a mocking expression, before calmly saying, "Hey, Rin Tohsaka, have you noticed any recent imbalances in your body?"

"Disharmonious? There is a bit of disharmony... but it's not a strong feeling."

“That’s right. After all, each time Ishtar descends, she changes your body, making your physical condition more similar to that of the Age of Gods, thus making her more suitable for your body. This is what’s called wavelength adjustment. If I don’t adjust it, your body will slowly…”

"Merry said meaningfully."

"She will take over even more easily! She might even take it all away from you!"

Seeing the expression on Merry's face, Rin Tohsaka suddenly paused. Now that things had come to this point, how could she not understand the situation? So she hurriedly spoke up.

"That's right, the answer was very clear. You truly deserve to be called a top student."

Then, Merry applauded for her.

"As expected of Ishtar, she actually tried to possess her own Master. When it comes to being shameless, she is still as shameless as ever."

At this moment, Ereshkigal also appeared. She felt disgusted by Ishtar's behavior, which was simply disgracing the Sumerian pantheon.

"So that means..."

Suddenly, Rin Tohsaka seemed to remember something. She looked at Merry and asked:

"It shouldn't just be Ishtar; other gods must also possess this ability, right?"

"Yes, there are. It's not just Ishtar; Ereshkigal could easily do it too if she wanted to."

Merlin nodded.

"Huh?!"

Hearing the topic suddenly shift to her, Ai Lei's face flushed red. She hurriedly waved her hands and then explained in great nervousness:

"Don't look at me! I would never do that! Even if I really wanted to take over a body, I would definitely do it after driving Ishtar out! At least I certainly wouldn't do it now..."

So you actually have this idea, don't you?

Hearing her say that, Rin Tohsaka was completely speechless.

She immediately glanced at the little Ereshkigal floating beside her, her mind racing. She'd thought Ishtar was the only traitor, but it turned out you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were also after her, and were lusting after her too.

Now she suddenly realized that none of these goddesses were easy to deal with. Not to mention Ereshkigal was Ishtar's sister, a goddess with an even more terrifying reputation. This immediately caused Rin Tohsaka's newly risen goodwill towards Ereshkigal to plummet to its lowest point, and she too began to be wary.

"Mage Melly, please help me! I don't want to become their puppet!"

Sensing the danger lurking around her, Rin Tohsaka quickly looked at Merry with pleading eyes, no longer daring to harbor any resentment towards her for modifying her magic circuits.

"Okay, okay, I'll handle it. Relax."

Mary patted her head, smiled helplessly, then glanced at Ellie and gave her a thank-you look, leaving Ellie somewhat bewildered.

She wasn't lying. She was thinking that since she had finally managed to get out, she could use Rin Tohsaka's body to stay in this world for a little longer after the Holy Grail War ended, and then go back.

After all, Luo Wei had told her about the beauty of the outside world, and the many natural sights and flowers that she definitely wanted to appreciate.

However, unlike Ishtar, she wouldn't do anything as tasteless as lingering or taking someone else's place. At most, she would only stay for a while, but as for how long...

Then I'll give myself a five-hundred-year vacation first.

If Rin Tohsaka knew Ereshkigal's thoughts right now, she would probably burst into tears.

However, after reflecting on her own situation, Rin Tohsaka suddenly began to think seriously. She then realized something very important.

She suddenly looked up at Meryl and said, "You just said that goddesses can modify the bodies of their possessors, so does that mean Astraea can too?!"

Mary nodded: "Of course, what's wrong?"

"No, I have to warn Luvia. Knowing her personality, she definitely won't find out about this."

Rin Tohsaka suddenly stood up, ready to leave immediately. Standing in front of the door, she said in a deep voice, "I don't want to see that guy possessed by Astraea next time we meet, otherwise we'll never be able to settle our differences! Ah! Oh dear!"

boom!

Rin Tohsaka was just about to leave when the door was pushed open ahead of her.

Rin Tohsaka hit her head on the door and cried out in pain.

Then Lo Wei walked in.

"I heard everything you said."

He glanced at Rin Tohsaka in front of him, her words echoing in his mind, and couldn't help but applaud her, casually praising her.

"Not bad, not bad, really not bad, Rin Tohsaka."

"You still have such determination. If Luvia knew, she would definitely be very moved, right?"

Lo Wei smiled and said to her.

"Huh? Who needs her to thank me? I'm already grateful as long as that guy doesn't cause me any trouble."

Rin Tohsaka answered casually, then put on her coat and continued preparing to leave. "But I need to hurry and remind her now."

"I appreciate your kindness on her behalf, but there's really no need for you to go."

However, just as she was about to leave, Luo Wei grabbed her arm and easily pulled her back. He looked at Rin Tohsaka's puzzled gaze, snapped his fingers lightly, and then earnestly explained.

"Don't forget that Astraea is the goddess of justice, the guardian of judges. She will not favor either humans or gods, nor does she interfere with human development or have any reason to stay, so there's no need to worry. I've talked to her about this, and she assured me that as soon as the Holy Grail War ends and it's confirmed that Ishtar has returned, she will return immediately as well. Luvia is also well aware of this."

"So..."

Luo Wei looked at Rin Tohsaka, and that look made Rin's lips twitch.

"You should worry about yourself first. Ereshkigal probably just wants to play with you for a while, that's fine. But guess what Ishtar will do? After she's sure everyone who knows about her embarrassing situation has left, do you think she'll stay in your body, which fits her perfectly?"

As he spoke, Rowe took Ereshkigal's spirit form, which was standing on Ishtar's shoulder, and then handed her a lily he had just bought.

"Here you go, Ellie, these are today's flowers. Please remember to help out."

"Well, don't worry about leaving it to me. I'm not Ishtar, and Astraea is no match for me."

Receiving the flowers from Luo Wei, Ai Lei's face was filled with joy, and her lips were brimming with happiness.

"That's really reliable."

Compared to her, Rin Tohsaka's expression completely collapsed, and she said in disbelief.

"Does that mean... I'm the only unlucky one this time?!"

"Now it seems that's true."

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

Suddenly, a sharp soprano voice echoed once again from the Tohsaka family mansion.

"Alright, just behave yourself for now... beep beep beep beep!"

Seeing her expression, as if her ideals were crumbling, Luo Wei was speechless. Her ability to cope was just too weak.

He was just about to offer some words of comfort when his cell phone rang in his pocket.

"Hello, is this Kirei Kotomine? Is something wrong that you're calling?"

Luo Wei asked directly.

"Yes, almost simultaneously, three new Servants were summoned."

Kirei Kotomine answered directly from the other side.

"Three? Doesn't that mean everyone's here?"

Upon hearing that the last three Servants had been summoned, Lovi's expression brightened slightly.

He immediately realized that Reines and the others would be arriving soon.

Everyone involved in the Holy Grail War must be present.

Upon learning of this, Luo Wei didn't stand on ceremony and directly asked Kirei Kotomine where the others were.

Kirei Kotomine was speechless at this.

He's the referee, you know. Asking him like that, isn't that just biased whistleblowing?

However, considering Luo Wei's relationship with the others, he felt it wasn't a big deal, so he answered directly.

"One is the designated agent for sealing, located at the construction site in Fuyuki City."

The other two are in the Far East, but not in Fuyuki City. They must have been summoned using other methods, but they should be arriving soon.

The class options are Assassin, Saber, and Lancer. You'll need to confirm the rest yourself; as your supervisor, I can't help you much.
