Chapter 370: The Goddess with a Different Name and Doubts
"What is the Index of Forbidden Books..."

There was a hint of doubt in Ms. Toosaka's words, and her eyes fell on someone with some suspicion.

——Is this guy holding some magical item?

——Otherwise, why would you say “I’ve mastered it to a pretty good degree”?
"..."

"..."

However, Miss Filia next to her frowned slightly at this moment.

She seemed to feel a slight sense of disharmony, but the feeling was fleeting, as if it was just an illusion.

Just like a thought that flashes by occasionally, when you concentrate and try to capture it deliberately, it quickly disappears.

So she didn't realize what was happening.

Silently, the stagnant time slowly flows again, and the pointer continues to move forward on the gear of fate.

"Oh, it's just a friend I know..."

As for Miss Toosaka's question after she resumed her actions, Xia Zhi just waved his hand and answered nonchalantly.

Although he had withdrawn his control skills, his mind was still immersed in the conversation he had just had with Othinus.

On the surface, the conversation was a harmonious discussion, but in fact it contained a shocking information shock.

The one-eyed girl's words, whether implicit or direct, forced him to chew them carefully and savor them over and over again.

The amount of information revealed, directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally...

It still cannot be underestimated, and he needs some time to digest it.

"A friend you know?"

Ms. Toosaka didn't notice his distraction. She just thought there was something about the name: "Why do you call me that?"

Moreover, the one-eyed girl's outspokenness inevitably makes people think of something.

The degree of mastery and the like...are you treating people as props?

"Because her name is Index, Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum..."

The young man gathered his thoughts and stopped letting them wander. Instead, he returned to reality and shrugged his shoulders while answering.

As for Index, she also belongs to the English Puritan Church's No. 0 Parish, the Grimoire Library of the Church of Necessary Evil, etc...

There is no need to explain this deliberately.

"Well……"

The black-haired girl with twin ponytails widened her eyes. Even though she heard the young man's explanation, her thoughts involuntarily strayed away in an instant.

Why does it sound like another "she"?
How abominable...

It seems that I made some mistakes...

I just thought that for this guy, the previous Holy Grail War was a long, long time ago, but I didn't realize what he had experienced in the long time in between.

Lin pursed her lips unconsciously, a trace of regret flashing through her heart - she suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked a crucial point.

That was because of the "wrong summoning" at the beginning. The status of a certain person as a servant was very bad. When asked about his origins, he didn't know, and when asked about his achievements, he couldn't tell...

His identity is vague, his past is a mystery, and even the real name of his treasure is unclear...

I can’t even describe how depressed I was at that time. You can only imagine the helplessness and distress I felt.

However, because she had a preconceived notion that she was the one who had let down the team, she was not confident enough about it. She could not blame the other party too much at the time and could only work it out like this.

To this day, the scenes of the Holy Grail War from more than a month ago are still vivid in my mind, and every scene I recall is as clear as yesterday.

And towards someone who appeared again, she habitually maintained her original attitude.

The result is that at this moment I suddenly realized that although I am indeed very familiar with him, my understanding of him is still shallow, and everything seems to remain in chaos and confusion.

——Ahhhhhh, what on earth is going on?!

——Isn’t this like having two good friends who have a life-and-death friendship, but in the end, you only know that the other person is called "Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior"?

This kind of thing where you only know the other person's online name and nothing else...

I still feel like I'm so familiar with this relationship, what on earth is going on...

Thinking of this, Rin couldn't help but feel annoyed.

After all, she would not be as careless as boys about such things. After realizing this situation, her heart seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, and it was difficult for her to accept it.

At the same time, she couldn't help but glance to the side.

Not to mention the stunningly beautiful Filia, whose silver hair shines and whose bright red eyes are like rubies, it seems to be just a simple misunderstanding...

But it was obvious that she knew the fair-skinned girl wearing a witch's pointed hat and looking cold yet extremely lovable...

Well, it doesn't look good no matter how you look at it.

"..."

"..."

"……cold?"

Perhaps she was too upset for a moment, and fell into some kind of self-doubt and self-denial, Toosaka Rin was obviously in a daze.

It wasn't until she heard Xia Zhi's puzzled voice that she came back to her senses.

“Ah? Ah…oh…”

The black-haired girl with twin ponytails had a stiff expression, and she tried hard to force a smile.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now..."

No, it’s okay!
Lin, you can do it. Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself!
Besides, it seemed that he and the one-eyed girl might just be acquaintances. Judging from the latter's cold and indifferent attitude, their relationship might not be that good.

That’s right, it’s not like they’re married and have a daughter…

In that case, there is nothing to be afraid of!

She took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and gently smoothed the long black hair that fell on her shoulders, letting a confident smile reappear on her face:
"So, the one to be summoned is this... goddess? Is her name Oti?"

Rin looked at the fair-skinned girl wearing a witch's pointy hat.

Although it still seems a little hard to believe, the young man did seem to have said before that he wanted to summon the goddess?

Thinking of this, the girl tried her best to remain calm, carefully looking at the other person with a polite gaze, trying to judge from the other person's features.

——She looked like a goddess related to some wizard or sorcerer...——But she was a girl with only one eye, and she covered her right eye with a black eye patch...

——The name is also called "Oti", the pronunciation of this... emmmmmm, the pronunciation of this is like, like...

have to say.

When the impression of a legend is deeply rooted and very different from the actual situation, it is indeed easy to form cognitive obstacles.

Limited by what we know, we retain our preconceived notions about things and find it difficult to accept other perceptions.

Of course, this is normal.

Even something like "King Arthur is a girl" is difficult for most people to accept.

Not to mention that it involves the main god in Norse mythology... Moreover, even in that world, people's mainstream perception of Odin has nothing to do with the image of a one-eyed girl.

"Her name is Othinus..."

Xia Zhi spoke, and considerately added the full name -

"It can be seen as another name for Odin, or vice versa..."

"..."

"..."

Silence, dead silence.

There was a silent and strange atmosphere in the air.

“Ehhhh——?!”

It was not until a long while later that Miss Toosaka's exclamation broke the silence. She covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief and widened her eyes.

Just like her younger sister behind her.

Odin?

This name is really well-known.

At this moment, even Miss Filia, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, had her eyes brightened up.

Then, she looked at the ordinary human magician with a little doubt. Is there anything special about this person?

I felt there was nothing special about it before...

Now it seems a little unclear...

------

------

Leave the Magic Workshop.

Return to the living room on the first floor.

Everyone sat down on the sofa one by one.

Among them, the goddess with white hair and red eyes, who called herself Filia, was sitting alone on a seat.

There was another goddess who was the same, and naturally she occupied an entire seat by herself.

However, there is an obvious difference in their performance. Miss Filia seems to be quite interested in the legendary god Odin, and is also surprised that the other party is actually a goddess.

Those bright red eyes sparkled with light, as if there was light flowing through them. He made no effort to hide his concern, and just looked at the opposite side as if it was a matter of course.

From time to time, she looked at the other goddess, and then at the human magician who looked strange no matter how she looked at him.

On the contrary, in stark contrast...

It's on Onutis' side.

This fair-skinned girl with an eye patch always has a very calm face.

It wouldn't be called expressionless, but it was more or less too cold.

Anyone could see that she didn't seem to care about other people at all. Even if she didn't deliberately act superior, she still showed an astonishing indifference.

This started when she walked out of the summoning circle.

It has already become very obvious.

From the beginning till now, she hardly looked at anyone else, and the only two sentences she said were both to Xia Zhi.

Everything else just exists as a background.

"Although there were some surprises, the summoning was generally unsuccessful..."

Xia Zhi coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and took the initiative to make a corresponding summary of this card drawing plan.

"Uh-huh……"

The two sisters sitting on the sofa opposite each other nodded subconsciously.

However, Ms. Toosaka soon discovered the problem first: "Wait! You said... less successful?"

"Yes, after all, there were some small deviations, right..."

The young man nodded calmly: "No need to look at Oti, her situation was also an accident, and she was not the one I originally planned to summon."

He was quite outspoken.

After all, he still had some doubts about this demon girl.

So no matter what, it is impossible to keep Ou Ti here... As for direct deportation, that is also not possible.

It is probably like the Servant can only bring the information of this summoning back to the main body after returning to the Throne of Heroes.

He suspected that once Oti's clone, which appeared here in the form of a servant, was destroyed, it would actually be equivalent to taking what she needed back directly.

For example...

Observational proof of the outer universe outside our world and the like.

Who knows what kind of immeasurable changes this will bring to her demon body?
"Well, what should we do now?" Miss Toosaka frowned. Does this mean that their original plan needs to be changed?

"In my opinion, it is better to take the initiative directly..."

Xia Zhi coughed and looked at the black-haired girl with twin ponytails very seriously——

"Honestly, Rin, are you really not going to consider counterattacking the Clock Tower? I think the position of the Mage Marshal could actually be taken by you."
