"Gorgon?"

"Yes, it is me, Lord Rorschach."

"Is it because there isn't enough bathroom space in Medusa's room? Just five minutes, I'll be right there."

Rorschach, who had originally planned to relax with a hot bath, sped up his shower, after all, as a man, he had to maintain basic gentlemanly manners. However, what happened next almost made him drop the soap.

“No, no, that’s not it. Sister Stheno said that as your Servant, I have to take on the responsibilities of a Servant. Whether it’s in battle, or... or in life, I should do my best.”

"Lifestyle?!"

Luo Xia's question went unanswered; all that could be heard was the sound of the bathroom doorknob slowly turning.

"Wait! Wait, Gorgon!"

'Click~'

The sound of the latch clicking shut reached Luo Xia's ears, causing him to subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, he always locked the door before showering; this habit from his past life was proving useful today. However, before Luo Xia could even catch his breath, a clearly suppressed voice reached his ears.

"Cybele!"

The doorknob, which was originally firmly fixed to the door frame, quickly turned a deathly gray color, and then shattered into a pile of rubble right before Luo Xia's eyes.

The door, now free of its restraints, opened gently, accompanied by Gorgon's stammering voice: "Excuse me, I'm coming in, Lord Rorschach."

Is it too late for me to let you out now...?

Watching the alluring figure gradually approaching from behind the smoke, Luo Xia asked with some helplessness, "What exactly is going on, Gorgon?"

The purple figure stopped in front of the sliding door, and her extremely shy voice reached the man behind the door.

"Sister Stheno said that I did not fulfill my duties as a Servant properly, and asked me to make amends."

"compensate?"

"Yes, as compensation... Serving you a bath is also part of our duty. I've never done this before, but from today onwards, Medusa and I will be responsible for your bathing."

Luo Xia, standing behind the door, was completely bewildered. How come he had never heard of such a good thing before?

"How come I didn't know about this?"

"These are all written in a book, a very popular book among female Heroic Spirits..."

"?!!"

"Tamamo Club"

Tamamo? The married fox? When did she publish a book?

Before Rorschach could figure out why such a strangely named publication would appear, the glass door in front of him was pulled open by Gorgon, who had mustered up his courage.

The steam rising from the hot water rushed out of the door, and as the view gradually cleared, Luo Xia was able to see the person in front of him clearly.

The alluring figure of a mature woman stretched the white bath towel tightly, making Luo Xia worry that the simple covering might slip off with any movement. However, after seeing the ample bosom, Luo Xia was relieved; it would surely protect the clasp at the front of her chest.

Her charming face was almost buried in her breasts with shyness. The contrast between her shy appearance and mature appearance was unexpectedly cute. Her round and smooth shoulders seemed to be shining with an inexplicable light. Her tight legs, which looked like they were wearing some kind of special stockings, stepped on the bathroom floor and approached Luo Xia step by step.

The soft light in the bathroom shone on Gorgon's porcelain-white skin, and the rising steam dampened her long hair, allowing Rorschach to see the various toiletries held in the snakes' mouths.

Oh, so you really came here to take a bath.

Looking at the various bottles and jars, Luo Xia felt a strange sense of loss.

The wings that had been obstructing the confined space vanished in a flash of golden light, and Gorgon, carrying a bath sponge, walked to Rorschach's side. Her mature and alluring face was flushed, and her indigo eyes were fixed on the man before her.

"Lord Rorschach, let my Gorgon help you."

As the purple-haired beauty spoke, her gaze uncontrollably swept over the man's body. Suddenly, her body jerked violently, and even her snake-like hair instinctively recoiled.

"Ahem~ Gorgon, I'm an adult now, I can bathe myself, so you don't need to bother."

Ignoring the purple-haired beauty's towel, soaked with hot water and clinging to her alluring body, Luo Xia felt he should apply the brakes before things escalated to an irreversible point.

Gorgon didn't speak, but took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his previously panicked eyes gradually calming down. Although his face was still flushed as he looked at Rorschach's body, at least he could do something else now.

Slightly wetting the bath sponge in his hands, Gorgon retrieved a bottle from Medusa's possession—a brand Rorschach had never seen before—and squeezed out some rose-colored liquid. After gently lathering it, he lowered his head and whispered:

"Lord Rorschach, could you please close your eyes? It's unpleasant to have you watching me..."

After gazing intently at the purple-haired beauty before him, who was certain she wouldn't leave, Luo Xia hesitated for a moment before finally closing his eyes slowly.

A gentle breath drew near, and Luo Xia felt a slightly cool hand grasp his arm, followed by the intermittent sensation of the bath sponge against his skin. At the same time, Gorgon's somewhat deep voice rang out.

“I am so happy to see Lord Rorschach again. We were terrified after Lord Rorschach disappeared, as if we had lost the meaning of our existence.”

The cool sensation moved from his left hand to his right, and Gorgon's leisurely breathing brushed past Rorschach's nose.

"When I opened my eyes again, I heard Lord Rorschach acknowledging me. No one has ever praised me since I became like this. Everyone looks at me with disgust and fear, as if I shouldn't exist in this world. No one in this world needs me except 'me'."

“But Lord Rorschach is different. Lord Rorschach is unique. Not only did he accept me, but he was also the first person to say I was beautiful.”

“Rorschach praised me for being beautiful, and Lord Rorschach said he liked me. Gorgon, I am very happy.”

The cool sensation left his right hand. Rorschach waited a while, but nothing happened. He only heard a squelching sound of liquid being squeezed. Just as he hesitated whether to open his eyes to see what was happening, a strange sensation spread throughout his body. It was a peculiar feeling, as if something was moving across his skin.

This silky yet supple feel... is it from snake hair?!

The blackish-purple snake hairs, covered in pure white foam, roamed over Rorschach's entire body under the control of the flushed Gorgon, cleansing every inch of his skin.

"Lord Rorschach not only doesn't discriminate against me, but also keeps his promise and summons my sisters, allowing me to make up for the regrets of thousands of years ago. I am very grateful to Lord Rorschach, and I like Lord Rorschach very much."

"I really like Lord Rorschach."

"I like it very, very much."

The cleaned snakeskin gently coiled around Rorschach's body, slowly bringing him to Gorgon's side. Looking at the man before her with his eyes closed, the woman quietly leaned forward and whispered in his ear:

"The changes in my spirit origin have stabilized after this period of strengthening. Some minor issues that existed before have been resolved, and the things Lord Rorschach was worried about will no longer happen. Memories can now be stored independently..."

"You don't need to endure it anymore..."

The man's eyes snapped open at that moment; it seemed tonight was going to be a long night.

Second update. The experts said the weird baths shouldn't be taken, so I changed it. Now it's perfectly fine (oo).

Mrs. Springfield.jpg

A strange, golden bird soared through the sky, its dark red eyes intently fixed on the city below, scrutinizing any possible clues. Suddenly, the bird's eyes turned towards the direction where the sun was rising.

That was the location of District 39, and its master had returned.

"Are you really okay, Gorgon?"

Luo Xia carefully supported the purple-haired beauty beside him, his face full of worry.

However, Gorgon, who was being supported by the man as if he were a seriously ill patient, blushed deeply and wanted to break free but was afraid of hurting Rorschach's feelings.

"I'm really alright, Lord Rorschach. That little injury healed in seconds with my constitution. You, you've already experienced that, haven't you..."

Summoning all his courage, Gorgon finally spoke, but he noticed that the curious looks the children usually gave him seemed strange today.

After recalling yesterday's battle, which was so intense and messy that his memory was basically a jumbled mess, Luo Xia still managed to recall the events thanks to his exceptional mental strength.

Hmm, that's a great expression. I never expected a Gorgon to make that kind of face.

No, no, I have important business to attend to today, I can't think about these strange things. Coming back to his senses, Luo Xia hesitated for a moment before finally letting go of the purple-haired beauty beside him.

"Alright then, but if you feel unwell anywhere, be sure to tell me. I still think you should rest at home for a day and let Stheno and the others take care of you."

No, Lord Rorschach, my sisters do take good care of me, but they also tease me all day long.

Imagined the scene of her two older sisters surrounding her, asking her all sorts of questions about how she felt, and Gorgon couldn't help but shiver, drawing the attention of the man next to her.

After much explanation, he finally reassured Rorschach that he had only fainted due to the overwhelming shock and that he was not feeling unwell. As he breathed a sigh of relief, Gorgon glanced around, looking at the somewhat crowded camp, and said to Rorschach beside him.

"Lord Rorschach, isn't today the day?"

The man, also looking at the camp which was already struggling to cope, murmured, "Yes, today."

Waving to Tina, who was taking a walk nearby and digesting her breakfast, Luo Xia patted the fluffy, soft head of the little owl and said with a smile, "Tina, go and call all the group leaders for your brother. I have something to announce today."

After enjoying the head pat for a while with his eyes half-closed, the little guy struggled to shake off the drowsiness brought on by the owl factor in his body and went off to inform the others with great enthusiasm.

Before long, the group leaders who were in charge of daily affairs in various parts of the camp rushed to the central square of District 39. The little radish heads of different heights and hair colors first greeted Rorschach and Medusa warmly, and then silently waited for their 'big brother' to speak.

Rorschach wasn't the type to engage in lengthy discourses; he generally preferred to demonstrate his opinions through actions, and this remained true today.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Xia released a silver-white box, which he casually opened and placed on the table prepared beside him. Addressing the group of lolis before him, he said, "I promised you that I would prepare a new home for you, a home for all the chosen ones of God, so that you could live, learn, and grow like normal children. I haven't forgotten."

"Today, right today, I will lead you to the paradise I promised you, so that you may leave this land full of discrimination and indifference and set foot on your own home."

The children in the square stirred slightly. No matter how well-behaved these little ones were, they were still just a group of girls, the oldest no more than eight years old. Hearing this exciting news still stirred their emotions, after all, 'the home of all the chosen ones' was the topic they discussed most.

Slightly gesturing for silence, Rorschach walked towards the box he had taken out. Reaching out, he picked up a round metal plaque bearing the Chaldea symbol, waved it in his hand, and said to the children:

“I often told you that whoever bullied you would pay the price. I did it. All those who dared to bully my daughter are now lifeless corpses. But conversely, we must not forget those who helped you.”

“A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude. I, Rorschach, will not let down those who risked their lives to help my daughter.”

With a flick of her slender fingers, the white metal plate with blue markings spun twice in the air before falling into the hands of Lan Yuan Enju, who was in the front row.

Seeing the girls' puzzled looks, Luo Xia waved his hand and said loudly to all the lolis, "Go and inform your group members, go and inform other people you know. All the children who have received kindness and help from others before I came here can come here to receive the corresponding 'badge' and then give it to the person who helped you."

"This is proof, this is glory, this is qualification. Tell those good people who remain in this filthy world that they can exchange this badge for enough wealth to live a secure life, and that they deserve it! They can also choose to use this badge to gain the opportunity to board that 'Ark' and have the fortune to live with you. Go, my daughters, go and repay those benefactors."

With a slight nod, the little girls quickly scattered, spreading Rorschach's will among all the chosen ones. But Gorgon, standing beside him, glanced worriedly at the departing children, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke to the man beside him:

"Lord Rorschach, I believe this is inappropriate."

"Oh, how so?"

Rorschach, fiddling with a badge bearing the Chaldea symbol, looked curiously at the woman beside him.

"Perhaps it's because I suffered a lot of persecution in the past, I always think of people as more evil. If these children take these badges back, and one of them accidentally lets the news leak out and it gets known to others... what would have been a life of security could probably lead to a lot of 'accidents'."

As Rorschach's Chaldea emblem tumbled in his hand, Gorgon recalled his past experiences. Because of the bounties offered by the gods and kings, the heads of the three Gorgon sisters represented a lifetime of wealth and glory.

A steady stream of 'brave warriors' and 'heroes' flocked to the Island of No Return to challenge the witch. The endless killing and curses ultimately created her as the 'Gorgon with Medusa'.

Recalling that unbearable past, Gorgon's eyes became somewhat melancholy.

“Those people are rare, kind people who are willing to help these children. It would be such a pity if they lost their lives because of a little money. I think those children would be very sad.”

"Don't worry, I've already prepared for all of this, nothing like that will happen."

Gorgon pulled the woman's soft waist close to his, nestled obediently into Rorschach's embrace. Rorschach had already anticipated the woman's concerns and even prepared a solution. Those so-called 'Chaldea Badges' were actually temporary membership cards for the system's gym, each offering two hours of free membership.

The key to this matter isn't the two hours involved, but rather that the card itself allows the person who comes into contact with it to see information and images pre-set by Rorschach, the shopkeeper, and then merge into the target's body after contact. Once successfully merged, the person must adhere to the rules set by Rorschach, the shopkeeper.

One of the rules is that gym-related information cannot be disclosed without permission. The system is powerful enough to block any possible leaks, ensuring the safety of these individuals.

In addition, Rorschach would also offer several options to those who had come into contact with the Chaldea emblem.

Those who wish for a peaceful life will be compensated by Rorschach, and after certain memories are erased, they will be arranged to leave their current world and live in another. Unlike the Chosen Ones, whose population can reach tens of millions and are therefore difficult to manage, these scattered individuals or families are relatively easy to accommodate, and can be easily placed in any world.

If Rorschach wants to continue helping and caring for children like Grandpa Matsuzaki, he will take them aboard the 'Ark' to the new land prepared for the children, where they can start a new life.

For those who don't want to leave their hometown and wish to continue living in this world, Rorschach will respect their wishes and sign a long-term 'temporary' contract with them. This allows them to urgently hide in a separate system space when in mortal danger, essentially giving them an extra life.

So, how many people? In Tokyo's wards, with its millions of inhabitants, how many have ever helped these poor children? The answer is...

Less than a thousand.

Looking at the several boxes he had prepared in advance in his system space, and then at the Chaldea emblem that was still half-full in the box on the table, Rorschach's lips curled into a mocking smile.

In a city of millions, Tokyo doesn't even have a thousand people willing to help these poor children. Are good people so rare now that we have to pick one in ten thousand?

This world is truly beyond saving.
