Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

"So when I occasionally run into Rin, my temper gets worse and worse, and Rin starts to argue with me more seriously. Every time, Sakura and Kallen have a hard time pulling each other along—maybe that's why they haven't seen each other lately. Even Rin, who isn't good at using technology, has started learning to use a cell phone. That's why I came here on my own initiative after I got the news."

After finishing her presentation, Aika Sajo stopped talking. She had finished her thesis, so she blinked and looked at Roland.

Then, seeing that Roland remained silent for a long time, Aika Sajou added another sentence.

"This time I won't suddenly disappear~"

Hearing her say that, Roland smiled.

"In that case, I'll tell you about my situation."

Because the gods had undergone some changes during this period, Roland recounted these events to Ayaka Sajou. When Roland spoke of the other world, even Ayaka Sajou's eyes lit up.

Ultimately, she started traveling because she was bored.

But another world... that's definitely more interesting than traveling!

Roland followed Sajou Aika's example and explained various things in detail. Finally, he and Sajou Aika looked at each other, and time seemed to go back to the last time they met and looked at each other.

So Roland also brought to a close the conversation that hadn't been finished last time.

"Aige, would you like to join my divine group? 3.9"

Upon hearing Roland's invitation, Sajou Aika deliberately hummed, not answering immediately, and then winked at Roland, as if to say, "See? This time, she didn't disappear."

Roland found it novel that the seemingly divine Ayaka Sajou he had met before was acting like a little girl.

Then Ayaka Sajou stopped making a fuss and gave her answer directly.

"I'll join."

With her response, the contract was established.

Sajo Aika brought in a lottery chance, and then the group members also gathered 20 people.

The level of Divine Blessing has been increased to Lv5 (upgraded when there are 25 members).

No new features were enabled this time.

However, in exchange, Roland felt that his control over the authority he had gained as the [God Group System] had increased significantly.

The improvement from last time resulted in Roland fully understanding the qualifications for joining the God Group.

This time, Roland felt as if he had completely mastered the functions related to the members of the divine group!

This also signifies that Roland has officially left the novice stage regarding the [God Group System], which is formed from some unknown authority within him!

....

52. The Magic Association is acting quietly.

Because he was still talking to Aika Sajou, Roland didn't check on the [God Group System] first.

"Roland, you said before that the world of Akame ga Kill! had been separated into Lostbelts and then merged into Hueco Mundo, right? What about the new other world?"

Sajō Aika is very curious about the other world, so it's no surprise that she asked a question.

Roland responded with a smile.

"We'll have to wait a bit longer... Exploring other worlds is certainly interesting, but before that, problems have started to erupt in Europe, so let's deal with things here first. Once things are mostly settled here, we can start exploring new other worlds."

"Can I come along then?"

As Aika Sajou said this, she looked at Roland, who shook his head slightly.

"I'm sorry, I've already told Shiki and Tiamat that I'll take them with me to the second other world—maybe next time. If we open the other world for the third time, I'll reserve a spot for you in advance. And if you're curious about the other world, the Kill! Lostbelts will have been integrated after things here are over, so you can go and explore there."

"Ah."

When Sajou Aika heard Roland say that, she didn't ask for anything more and just nodded.

Sajo Aika herself felt that something was a little off about making such a decision.

Because she is actually a fairly assertive person, once she has made up her mind about something, she basically won't change it. 22 But when she's with Roland, she's always a little gentler.

Sajō Aika had actually noticed this last time.

At the time, she thought the reason was due to something connected to her magic circuits—after all, she could clearly feel that the other side was giving Roland a rather friendly response.

However, after meeting Roland this time, Aika Sajou knew that this was not the reason.

They didn't interfere with her thoughts; at most, they created a small opportunity for Roland, as if Roland would appear in their dream space.

What truly made Roland feel approachable was that when she looked at Roland, her gaze was at eye level.

This is precisely the kind of treatment that no one else has ever received from her.

She can be a bit assertive when she's around other people, mainly because she always looks down on them.

She is kind to others, and those people must accept it. Otherwise, whether she does it indirectly or directly, she will find a way to make you accept it.

Similarly, the evil she inflicts on others must also be accepted by those others.

It is precisely because of this perspective that Aika Sajou is like a bullet that has been fired, hurting both herself and others.

But when facing Roland, she placed him on an equal footing with herself, which made Roland stand out in her eyes as more important than anything else and more likely to attract her attention. She would listen to him carefully and even respect his opinions.

Well, if I had to say, Aika Sajou feels like Roland is a friend of hers.

He is her first and currently only friend!

Roland noticed her attitude, which made him feel more comfortable around her.

"Then call me when you open your third other world. In the meantime... I need to go back to the Edelfelt family."

When talking about people other than Roland, Ayaka Sajou became more composed.

That's not the composure of having everything under control, but rather the composure of standing outside the situation and judging good and evil entirely based on one's own thoughts, without any concern for anything else.

“I’ve been staying at the Edelfelt’s house for a while now, and I’ve really been a bit of a bother for them. So before I leave with you, I plan to help Luvia deal with the Edelfelt’s current predicament.”

Sajou Aika had told Roland about this before.

First, there were some chain reactions caused by Einzbern's decision to let Ilya take control of the family, which led to Ilya shifting Einzbern's development focus to the Far East.

Secondly, there's the issue of the Dead Apostle War.

Finally... Roland guessed that there must be something to do with the Magic Association involved.

The problem comes from many aspects and is quite complex.

However, if Ayaka Sajou is willing to help, then these problems are indeed not problems for her.

With her abilities, helping Edfeldt out of his predicament would be quite easy.

but

“There’s no need to go through all this trouble. I’ll go to the Edelfelt family with you. I happen to have some plans in Europe. Since the Edelfelt family are distant relatives of Rin, and they adopted Rin’s sister and helped you, they are somewhat connected to our God Group. So I’ll help them solve the difficulties they are facing.”

The Edelfeldt family home.

In the reception room, Luvia sat on the sofa, looking at the middle-aged man sitting opposite her. After Sakura quietly placed two cups of tea on the table, she stood silently behind Luvia.

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and then continued his incessant, yet annoying, conversation.

"I remember that White Princess also appeared here before. She was able to leave this place thanks to our Mage Association, so I hope that your Edelfelt family can also have some trust in the Mage Association."

Upon hearing his words, Luvia responded coldly.

"So, having some trust in the Magic Association means you want us, Edfeldt, to hand over the supply chain that our family has been running for who knows how many years to the association?"

"No, no, no, you have a choice."

The middle-aged man had been visiting magician families all over Europe recently, so he had expected Luvia's attitude. Now he simply delivered the prepared explanation.

"The association has repeatedly emphasized that we have no intention of taking advantage of the Dead Apostle War to plunder – you still have a choice."

His face wore a rather sarcastic smile.

"Exchanging the family's industrial chain for the association's protection is just one option. If the industrial chain doesn't work, technology will, and if that doesn't work, people will... But if none of these work, then the next time Bai Ji comes to your side, if things get out of hand, then you'll have to solve it yourselves."

As he said this, the middle-aged man's gaze swept over Sakura subtly, but he quickly looked away.

Even if he knew that the adopted daughter of the Edfeldt family behind Luvia was very talented, a rare resource, and possibly a good mother, he wouldn't say it in front of the head of the Edfeldt family.

After all, he had done his homework, and he knew very well that the magical characteristics of the 620 Edelfelt family, besides the transformation of gem magic, were occasionally related to the sisters.

Therefore, areas that shouldn't be touched should still not be touched.

The Magic Association simply wanted to take advantage of the chaos, not to wipe them out completely.

This point is quite clear.

Even so, Luvia's face turned somewhat dark.

With the Magic Association harboring such intentions, it's no wonder this meeting is unlikely to yield any positive results.

In the end, they parted on bad terms.

But the middle-aged man from the Magic Association simply returned to his hotel calmly, showing no hurry whatsoever, and waited silently.

After all, he's encountered situations like this many times recently.

Each time, the other party starts off very tough, but because of the current chaotic situation, they gradually soften.

He can afford to wait.
