Ryuzu Meyer, a Little Loli who looks only eleven or twelve years old, is actually far older than her current appearance suggests. She deeply admires Echidna, and in the original story, Ryuzu Meyer was the vessel Echidna intended to use to achieve a form of immortality by entrusting her soul to it.
However, now that Echidna already had a body, Ryuzu Meyer, the spare vessel, naturally had no use.
Ryuzu Meyer didn't appear much in the original story, but her cute appearance was still quite popular.
If Fujino hadn't seen her earlier, she would have forgotten that someone like Ryuzu Meyer also lived in the Sanctuary.
The Rasengan above fell, its terrifying energy shattering space and causing it to become chaotic. In this chaotic space, those guardians of the Sanctuary were like lambs to the slaughter; they could only watch as the Rasengan got closer and closer to the ground, finally completely dissipating from this world in madness and fear.
"So, Master, do you like little girls like this?" Seeing Ryuzu Meyer in Fujino's arms, Echidna couldn't help but ask, though her eyes held a hint of teasing.
Fujino didn't answer, looking at Ryuzu Meyer in her arms. Ryuzu Meyer had already fallen unconscious, having been knocked out by Fujino. Placing Ryuzu Meyer into her Alternate Space, Fujino then looked at Echidna and said, "It's time to go."
"Yes~"
The Royal Capital of Lugnica was no longer the bustling scene of the past. Instead, it was a mess, with countless houses collapsed and the streets piled with dying people and silent corpses. The sudden earthquake, just like the one years ago, had claimed many lives, and this time it was even more severe.
The Royal Palace of Lugnica had also become dilapidated under this earthquake. Although it hadn't collapsed, most of the walls and ceilings had developed huge cracks, making reconstruction inevitable.
The knights in the Royal Capital had been mobilized on a large scale, rescuing those who were still breathing from the ruins of the collapsed houses.
When Fujino learned of this, the expression on her face was very strange. This earthquake in Lugnica was undoubtedly caused by her, just like the one several years ago. It should be noted that a few years ago, when Fujino resolved the issue of Teresa, who was empowered by the world will, the resulting massive earthquake had emptied more than half of Lugnica's treasury, and it still hadn't completely recovered. Now, because of her, another massive earthquake had struck; Lugnica was likely to be completely impoverished this time.
She lamented that Lugnica was truly unfortunate. With this massive earthquake, the Royal Selection that was about to begin would certainly be postponed. However, Fujino didn't care about these things. Whether the Royal Selection started or not didn't matter; what she cared about now were the two witches in the house and the three including Emilia.
After Fujino brought Echidna back to the villa, she took her to meet Emilia. Emilia's expression at that time was beyond interesting. Later, Fujino showed Emilia the still-unconscious Satella. Fujino's lecturing ability was truly too strong; even though Satella hadn't woken up after being lectured by Fujino, Fujino eventually woke her up and then locked all three of them in a room to have a good talk.
While Emilia was talking with the two from the Witch Cult, Fujino sat alone on the sofa, enjoying the meticulous service of Ram and Rem.
"Alright, that's enough. You two should rest as well." Saying this, Fujino reached out and pulled the nearby Ram and Rem into her arms, one on each side.
Enjoying the soft touch from both sides, Fujino was in a pleasant mood. Then, thinking of something, she asked Ram and Rem, "How has that Subaru Natsuki been lately?"
"Subaru Natsuki is currently living at Reinhard's place and has even learned some swordsmanship from him. However, due to the recent earthquake, he suffered some injuries and is now being looked after by Reinhard," Ram replied. Subaru Natsuki's affairs were currently being monitored by her.
"It seems the progress between the two is good." Fujino had a smile on her face; things were getting more and more interesting. As the Sword Saint, Reinhard had not joined the ranks of the knights helping the injured masses amidst the current chaos in the Royal Capital, but was instead looking after Subaru Natsuki alone. It was clear that the seed planted earlier had sprouted, and all that was needed now was an opportunity for the seed to grow and bloom rapidly.
"Master Fujino is truly wicked," Rem laughed from the side, but her eyes were full of excitement. As females, most Touko might feel excited about such a romance.
Ram was also very interested. These past few days, she had been observing Subaru Natsuki's actions, and she was very clear about the development between Subaru Natsuki and Reinhard. If Ram wanted to, she could write the story of Subaru Natsuki and Reinhard over these days into a novel; it might even be highly sought after by certain groups.
"Ram, you don't need to worry about Subaru Natsuki anymore. Things are almost over, so just let them be," Fujino said softly, stroking Ram's short pink hair.
"Mhm," Ram responded softly, narrowing her eyes in comfort at the touch on her head.
"Master Fujino, I want it too!" Rem directly grabbed Fujino's hand and placed it on her own head.
"Alright." Fujino smiled and gently stroked Rem; it was a scene of harmony.
At that moment, the door to the room where Emilia, Satella, and Echidna were opened.
Walking in front was Emilia. At this moment, Emilia had a smile on her face, the kind of smile that blooms after being suppressed for a long time; it was very beautiful.
Fujino knew that Emilia had now completely let go of the fact that she was a silver-haired half-elf and had the same appearance as Satella. Indeed, letting the three of them talk properly was the right choice. Seeing Emilia's smile, Fujino was also genuinely happy for her.
Behind Emilia, Satella also wore a smile. While resolving the knot in Emilia's heart, Satella had also resolved her own. Although Fujino could still see some regret for her past actions in Satella's smile, it had faded a lot. Fujino estimated that after a few more lectures, she would completely let it go.
As for Echidna, she also had a smile on her face, but that was normal. She didn't have any heart knots; the only thing that could count was Satella killing the other Sinful Arch-Witch. However, now that she had gained a vast amount of knowledge, how could Echidna care about such things that seemed trivial now?
