Learn one small skill every day

“The white shadow that appears in every magical girl’s mouth has great significance to me, so I can’t risk leaving the dungeon directly by handing over the gem… Even if you’re willing to take that risk, I still need to explain my situation to you.”

According to my previous theory, if I don't receive a reminder from my future self before entering the instance, it means that I either die directly in this instance or I do it perfectly and there is nothing to make up for.

But Bai Miao still wanted to tell Hu Muyao that he had received his sentiment.

"Hmm... well, here, take the gem."

A fiery glint flashed in Miyamizu Rin's eyes.

"Miya Mizuki Rin, don't forget that I've been watching you all along."

Bai Miao spoke up to warn him at the right moment.

The scene of her eyes being gouged out and then put back in was still vivid in her mind, and Bai Miao quickly extinguished her desire.

"I'll keep her in check, so you can rest assured. But how do we persuade Emiya Haruka to hand over the jewel?"

Sanzenin Sora thought for a moment: "Do I need to persuade her? You already have two gems. If you explain your purpose and then Haruka doesn't give you a third one, then she just wants to get beaten up."

makes sense……

Picking up the tourmaline from the ground, Sanzenin Sora handed the gem to Miyamizu Rin: "I hope I won't regret this decision, but... I still choose to trust you this once."

"thanks for your trust."

After Miyamizu Rin took the gem in her hand, its properties changed.

Strength has increased to 100 points.

If you transform in this state, the increase in all attributes will be even greater.

Bai Miao discovered that he had connected with Hu Muyao's network of knockers.

"What if we return it?"

Miyamizu Rin knew that Shiramiao wanted to test many things, so she took the initiative to put the gem back into Sanzenin's hand.

The two people's knocking network disconnected again.

"Oh... does this mean we've reverted to being on opposing sides?"

"It seems to be true. As long as all four gems are not collected, the system will not determine the winner."

After understanding this principle of victory and defeat, Bai Miao could draw another conclusion.

If there are future competitive dungeons, does that mean that the other side's members will not be judged as defeated and the dungeon will not be settled until one side's conditions are completely met?

With two gems in hand, I could already sense the approximate location of the other two gems.

"It seems we don't need to go looking for Emiya Haruka anymore."

With two gems for positioning, plus Bai Miao's own pathfinding skills.

Goto Ai's location also became clear.

Bai Miao felt as if his pathfinding skill level was insufficient and he needed to rely on the effects provided by the two gems to make up for it.

Bai Miao's location indicated a park.

After having Sanzenin Sora contact Emiya Haruka to prepare for the handover of the gems, Miyamizu Rin headed towards Goto Ai's location.

In the park, Bai Miao saw a pink-haired girl sitting alone on a bench under the dim streetlights, staring at a stray cat in the distance.

She was wearing a tracksuit, her head hunched, her face etched with loneliness.

"Um... Goto-kun..."

Worried that Miyamizu Rin might mess things up, Bai Miao decided to negotiate himself.

"what?!"

Goto Ai jumped to her feet, looking warily at Miyamizu Rin who was approaching: "You, you're not coming any closer!"

"Okay, I won't move. Can we talk? I'm all alone."

Bai Miao spread his hands, indicating that he had no weapons: "The other three of us have found a solution that is acceptable to all of us, which is to exchange gems. Before that, can I tell you the names of the three of us? Can you tell me your name as well?"

The musician suggested that Goto Ai talk to him first.

But Goto Ai just shook her head: "I don't believe you! You promised to improve the school environment after becoming a disciplinary committee member, but I wrote a letter to your disciplinary committee in the third semester of my first year, and those people found out very quickly! How could I possibly believe you again!"

Miyamizu Rin felt a little wronged and explained to Bai Miao, "At that time, I had just joined the Disciplinary Committee and hadn't had a chance to take action yet. Goto Ai's letter was handed over to a familiar club by another Disciplinary Committee member. Later, I also dealt with that student, but Goto Ai was no longer in school at that time."

Bai Miao repeated it to Goto Ai.

But Goto Ai still didn't believe it.

If I had known this would happen, I would have sent Sanzenin Sora.

However, given her reputation for distrusting no one, it probably doesn't make much difference who comes to her.

Bai Miao then changed his approach.

"So, Goto-kun, do you hate me?"

"I don't hate you, I despise you! But I won't do anything to you! I know you may have many reasons, but my time at school was miserable because you didn't keep your promise!"

Seeing that Goto Ai was planning to run away again, Bai Miao had no choice but to say, "Well then, Goto, come to school tomorrow morning and experience for yourself to see if what I said is correct. Also, I'll remind the one on you that this is a way that might allow all four of us to pass the game perfectly."

The gem in Rin Miyamizu's hand is "Love," which should belong to Ai Goto; the gem in Ai Goto's hand, though its identity is unknown, belongs to Sora Sanzenin; Sora Sanzenin's "Frugality" is Haruka Emiya, and Haruka Emiya's "Guardianship" is Rin Miyamizu. What will happen after the four magical girls obtain their respective gems? We can only find out if Ai Goto is willing to exchange them.

"So, if you're willing to try, go to the school rooftop after school tomorrow."

(8K) Chapter 163 Fierce Battle with My Future Self, and the Curtain Falls

The next afternoon, when the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, Miyamizu Rin went to the rooftop.

Subsequently, Haruka Emiya and Sora Sanzenin also arrived.

The three people stood in a triangle, all waiting for the last person to arrive.

Time ticked by, and Emiya Haruka grew impatient: "I still have a lot of things to take care of at home. Is she coming or not?"

"do not know."

Miyamizu Rin answered decisively, "I don't know if she will come, but I will wait here until the academy begins to close. If you want to go back, then go back."

The college closes around 19 p.m.

Emiya Haruka rubbed her forehead: "I didn't expect the last one to have no fighting spirit at all."

Sanzenin Sora nodded with absolute certainty: "She will come."

“During her time off from school, the academy has indeed undergone tremendous changes under the leadership of Gong Shuilin. I believe that after hearing Gong Shuilin’s words yesterday, she will observe the academy with her own eyes and draw her own judgment.”

Miyamizu rubbed her shoulders somewhat awkwardly: "I'll take that as your approval of my reforms."

As it approached 19 p.m., and the setting sun bathed the rooftop in its glow, the group heard slow yet firm footsteps coming from downstairs.

After hearing Bai Miao's conclusion last night, the musician also spent most of the night trying to persuade Goto Ai.

"You know you are not worthy of trust. Perhaps if you had the capacity for universal love, you would have been able to exert a greater power than you are now. This power would not be to harm others, but to better care for and love them."

"Goto, just like you were willing to go back to school back then, try going to school and see what it's like. Then you can decide whether or not to go to the rooftop."

The musician had no way to deal with Goto Ai and could only try to persuade her with words.

If it really is a trap, I can at least buy some time for Goto Ai.

This person who obtained an Aleph-level item very early on was confident in his abilities.

Ai Goto came to the school today and boldly walked around the entire academy. She discovered that the various cliques and bullying she had encountered before had miraculously disappeared from the academy.

Relying on her 100 points of agility, she paid special attention to places where she had been bullied, such as the toilets, the shoe cabinets on the first floor, the small playground, the garden, and the back of the teaching building, during breaks and after school.

In the past, bullying incidents occurred almost daily in these places.

She also looked at the desks in every classroom in the college and saw no scratches, dirt, or insulting words.

Only after seeing everything clearly with her own eyes did Goto Ai finally take the step towards the rooftop.

On the rooftop, the three magical girls had already taken their positions, leaving an empty space between Goto Ai, Sanzenin Sora, and Miyamizu Rin.

The four magical girls stand at the four corners, where they can receive the gems that belong to them and pass on any gems that don't belong to them to the next person.

Rin Miyamizu, Ai Goto, Sora Sanzenin, Haruka Emiya.

"So what is your gem name?"

"Trust...trust..."

Goto Ai stammered in response.

Sanzenin Sora paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! What?! You actually got trust? That white figure was just giving it away randomly after all!"

Goto Ai scratched her head a little shyly: "Then, can I just give you the gem?"

"At the same time, throw the gem to the person on your left to complete the exchange."

Miyamizu Rin tossed a coin into the air.

Everyone took out their gems and prepared to pass them around.

Love, trust, thrift, and protection.

"jingle!"

As the coin landed, the four magical girls tossed the gems in their hands to the person on their left, while simultaneously catching the gem that came from their right.

Protection, love, trust, thrift.

Bai Miao saw that Miyamizu Rin's attributes had changed again after she obtained the Guardian Gem.

His spirit increased from 100 points to 150 points, and the lapis lazuli in his hand quickly transformed into a sparkling ruby, emitting a faint glow even without being used intentionally.

"This is what it feels like to get the right gem..."

Miyamizu Rin realized why there was no difference between using the Frugality Gem and using the Philanthropic Gem.

Because using the Guardian Gem is the perfect state for oneself.
