I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

"How so?"

"Does Ganesha want to carry out the most drastic reforms to completely change the environment of Orario, or does she only want to reform the military police to make their law enforcement efficiency higher?"

What's the difference between these two?

"There's a big difference. If you want to make the military police more efficient, you only need to make adjustments to the internal workings of the military police to improve their efficiency. But if you want to change the entire environment of Orario, you need to change the basic situation of Orario. This requires the participation of guilds."

Ganesha clearly didn't know much about this, so he asked.

Could you explain them separately?

"Let's start with the internal reforms of the military police."

Fujimaru Ritsuka plopped down on the ground.

"The military police are incredibly inefficient! They barely patrol the alleys, and their patrols are mainly on the main streets. Their reaction time is also very slow. Yesterday, I dragged those eight robbers to the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild before a single military police squad arrived. Their inefficiency is outrageous. If I weren't strong enough, by the time the military police arrived, I would have been injured, robbed, or even killed by those guys."

The face beneath Ganesha's mask stiffened.

"Emmm....I admit that."

"Therefore, in order to improve efficiency, we implemented a reward and punishment system within the military police force. Each squad was assigned a jurisdiction, and they had to take care of every alley within that jurisdiction. If an accident occurred and the military police squad was completely unaware of it, or if they failed to arrive at the scene for an extended period of time after an accident, they would be fined!"

"what?"

Ganesha stared in shock at Fujimaru Ritsuka, but Fujimaru Ritsuka did not stop.

"Then, every month, all the districts are evaluated, the top three districts receive bonuses, and the bottom three districts have their pay deducted. The last district leader is dismissed!"

It's a last-place elimination! Fujimaru Ritsuka has been added to the last-place elimination list!

"That won't do!"

Nilu, who hadn't left the room the whole time, immediately voiced her objection.

"All squad leaders in the military police are currently LV2 members of their clans. If the squad leaders are removed, the squad's combat effectiveness will decrease significantly."

"Withdraw all adventurers of LV2 and above from the military police and form an elite team. They will not be responsible for patrols during normal times, but only for major cases. When there is no work, they will wait in the Tower of Babel. All members of the military police team will be LV1. A team leader will be selected from among them and will receive twice the treatment of ordinary team members. The entire team will be rewarded for stopping criminals. This will not only motivate the LV1 team members, but the team leader will also carry a signal flare. If the LV1 team encounters a situation that cannot be handled, the team leader can send a signal to the mobile team of the Tower of Babel to be dispatched immediately."

"But will there be enough time?"

"I can personally build some fast mobility gadgets for you, but you'll need to pay for them."

With magic stones as a free energy source, I can handcraft a magic motorcycle for you, or even a magic flying machine, turning you into mobile police officers! As long as you pay enough, I can craft it all for you!

"This...."

Nilu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Ganesha after thinking carefully for a while.

"Lord Ganesha, is this alright?"

After pondering for a while, Ganesha stroked his chin and nodded affirmatively.

"can!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka grinned, delighted that the members of the Ganesha Familia were about to face the infighting among 21st-century capitalists!

Volume 1: 21. Military Police Advisor

"We've discussed how to improve the military police, but what about how to improve Orario as a whole?"

"Limit power, amend the laws!"

You mean the guild?

Ganesha was very curious when he first heard this.

"Yes! The power of guilds should be limited, and as for amending the law, that would naturally mean increasing the severity of penalties!"

"Like you did to those robbers yesterday? Wasn't that too harsh? That would ruin their future."

Fujimaru Ritsuka wasn't a cruel official, but...

“In my hometown, there’s a saying: ‘In chaotic times, harsh punishments are necessary.’ Simply put, the more chaotic a place is, the more severe the punishments should be to deter those who cause trouble. As for the claim that I’ve caused them to lose their future? There’s another saying in my hometown: ‘It’s not that I’ve harmed them, but that this chaotic world has harmed them!’”

Ganesha paused for a moment, then spoke in rebuttal.

"Orario shouldn't be in such a mess."

"Isn't it chaotic?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka retorted without any politeness, and then raised her hand to make a two-character gesture towards Ganesha.

Being robbed twice in one day, you're telling me it's not chaotic?

"..."

Ganesha remained silent for a while before speaking again.

"Okay, yes... it's a bit chaotic."

"Therefore, power needs to be limited, and the law needs to be amended."

Orario is a magical place, or rather, the entire Tales of Orario is magical.

Because of the existence of gods, the national organizations in the human world appear very loose and have no presence.

After all, no matter how powerful a human or demi-human nation is, it can never be a match for a god. Even if the gods don't take action, their very existence is a deterrent. This is why there aren't any decent nations in this world, not even the Elf Kingdom.

Not to mention human nations, there is a country not far from Orario that is entirely under the control of Ares, the God of War. Although there is a royal family, it makes almost no difference whether the royal family exists or not.

In Orario, the god Uranus was busy suppressing the dungeons, while the adventurers were having fun and basically didn't get involved. This resulted in Orario not having any real administrators in the strict sense. As a result, the guilds created by the god Uranus became the de facto administrators of Orario.

The guild sets laws and standards, entrusts security to its members, and then they start making money without lifting a finger.

All shops in Orario will be taxed. All adventurers, merchants, and civilians entering and leaving the city gates of Orario will be taxed. Adventurers will also be taxed when they exchange magic stones for Faris.

They can collect money continuously without even leaving the guild headquarters. And that's not enough for them. Many guild members have even collaborated with the Dark Faction for illegal gains. Keep in mind that the guild possesses intelligence on all adventurers in Orario. Once they collaborate with the Dark Faction, targeting a Familia wouldn't be too difficult.

This is also why, after those scoundrels in the guild were killed by Ryu, the guild only offered a high bounty for Ryu but did not urge others to capture him. Ryu's killing of guild members was considered vigilante justice, which made the guild lose face, but the guild itself was also in the wrong. Therefore, they only offered a bounty for Ryu and did not actually send anyone to hunt him down.

But this wasn't enough in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes!

As an Easterner, in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, your guild takes so much money, so you have to do something! What use are you if you don't do anything!

What about guilds? Guilds serve adventurers entirely; they don't care about ordinary people at all. They also rarely mediate conflicts between clans, and they turn a blind eye to illegal activities committed by clans.

The most basic situation is that, on the surface, the guild claims to maintain fairness and stability in Orario, but in reality, when powerful clans attack weaker clans in broad daylight, the guild does nothing!

In the original storyline, Apollo, in order to obtain the white rabbit, sent people to attack the dilapidated church where the Hestia Familia was located in broad daylight, blowing the church up into the sky and forcing Hestia to accept the war game. In the end, the guild only made a few symbolic remarks.

This is Orario. If this guild were in Konoha, the villagers with the Will of Conqueror would bully the guild from morning till night!

How can a guild like this have the power to make decisions? It's one thing to have the power to make decisions, but it doesn't even have a supervisor!

"I understand what you mean, but unfortunately."

When faced with Fujimaru Ritsuka, the god Ganesha simply shook his head.

"The guild would never agree to this."

As the guild's closest associate, Ganesha naturally understood the situation within the guild. But it was precisely because of this understanding that he was certain such a thing was impossible. Uranus's attention was not on the guild at all; otherwise, the guild wouldn't have remained unchanged for so many years. The management of the guild was entirely the responsibility of the guild master, that greedy elf whose mind was only filled with money.

"That's because there's no pressure from the guild. If you ask him to make changes when he's just a member of a clan, he definitely won't."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was neither angry nor disappointed, after all, he had never expected the guild to agree to his idea immediately from the beginning.

The major clans in Orario are all focused on training their own powerful new members and competing with other clans. They don't pay any attention to the guild. As for the unfortunate ordinary people in Orario, what do their affairs have to do with them?

"So, God Ganesha, have you chosen the path of reforming your own people?"

Since changing the guild is not an option for the time being, the only thing left is to change ourselves.

"That's right. Since the guild is unwilling to make changes, I have no choice but to start making changes first. After all, I also want Orario to become better."

Ganesha nodded affirmatively.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, as you just said, would you be willing to serve as an advisor to help my Ganesha Familia with internal reforms? I will give you a satisfactory reward."

"In that case, I look forward to your guidance, Ganesha Familia, for the time to come."

Although the guild cannot be changed for the time being, it does not mean that it cannot be changed in the future. By cooperating with the Ganesha Familia now and gaining Ganesha's friendship, he will be able to help us when we attack the guild in the future, right?

After a brief chat with Ganesha, Fujimaru Ritsuka left the Tower of Babel. Today's discussion was just the beginning; reform cannot be accomplished in a single sentence, and detailed planning is still needed.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka came down from the Tower of Babel, she found Ryu waiting for her in the square in front of the tower.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka come down from the tower, Ryu quickly went to greet her.

"Didn't you go back first?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke first, and Ryu answered with a slight blush.

"I promised to show you around Orario today, but I came down first because you were going to see Ganesha."

While answering, he was also making excuses for his earlier escape.

"In that case, since we still have time, let's go explore some more."

Volume 1: 22. The Promise with Ryu

Orario wasn't small, but it wasn't huge either. With Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ryu's stamina, they walked non-stop and explored the whole area in less than half a day. Especially some of the special districts, Ryu only gave brief explanations from the outside and resolutely refused to let Fujimaru Ritsuka go in, so they progressed faster than expected.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka had no intention of going into that area. Although the Amazonian female warriors were all good-looking and outgoing, none of them were Fujimaru Ritsuka's type. He wouldn't choose them even if it was just to vent his energy. Not to mention that there was an Ishtar Familia hidden in that street, which was the Ishtar of the Otherworld.

Ishtar from the Otherworld and Rin from FGO are completely different beings, so Fujimaru Ritsuka has absolutely no interest in them.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka was quite interested in the fox in the Ishtar Familia. After all, it was a fox-eared girl, which was rare even in the Otherworld, and its personality was also very interesting.

As a priestess serving Amaterasu, she was sold to Orario by slave traders and forced into becoming an apprentice prostitute after being sent to the Ishtar Familia.

How can such a despicable act be allowed! As partners of justice, we must rescue her!

But there's no rush now. The LV5 leader of the Ishtar Familia and those LV4 and LV3 members are no pushovers. Fujimaru Ritsuka needs a little more time to develop, increase her magical power, open up more slots, and draw more Servant cards before she can make a move against the Ishtar Familia.

In short, after exploring the entire area, Fujimaru Ritsuka had covered most of Orario's territory. Combined with the plot information he already knew from watching the anime, he had a basic understanding of Orario.

Having gained a basic understanding, all he had to do was strive to level up in order to achieve justice for the Astrea Familia!

"So, starting tomorrow, you'll have to go to the dungeon every day?"

Inside the Stardust Garden, the residence of the Astrea Familia, Ryu and Fujimaru Ritsuka sat facing each other across a long table in the restaurant, discussing Fujimaru Ritsuka's next action plan.

"Yes, because the goddess isn't here, I don't know how much favor I've received. So before I feel my stats are high enough to level up, I need to go to the dungeons to gain more experience, and the lower the better, at least to the middle level, because the monsters on the upper levels can't put any pressure on me."

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, she took some metal out of her pocket.

"Furthermore, I need enough high-quality magic stones to make magical costumes. The magic stones dropped by the monsters in the upper levels are fine for lighting, but they are not enough to supply magic power for magical costumes."

"Magical Costume?"

Ryu looked at the metal objects on the table in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka. These were the metal objects that Fujimaru Ritsuka had bought when she took him shopping in Orario, saying that they could be used as materials.

"Is this the kind of forging you mentioned before, different from the forging techniques of other forgers in Orario?"

"That's right, what I make is called a Mystic Code, but according to Orario, it wouldn't be wrong to call it a Demon Sword, since what I made in the early stages was definitely offensive Mystic Codes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to the metal on the table.

"I'm not just farming magic stones for myself, I'm also farming magic stones for the Ganesha Familia. In the reform plan I'm making for them, high-level adventurers will form mobile units, and those units need tools for rapid movement. I'm going to make a killing from that."

"You can still make this?"

Ryu was surprised again. She knew that Orario's job specialization was very sophisticated. Forgemen were only good at forging weapons and armor. Vehicles were never within the scope of a forgeman's skills.

"It's not difficult as long as you have enough magic stones."

Fujimaru Ritsuka confidently crossed her arms.

"According to the plan that Ganesha and I devised yesterday, they will not carry out reforms in the early stages. Instead, they will go to the dungeon to accumulate resources. After accumulating enough magic stones and materials, I will forge those magic stones and materials into vehicles that will facilitate their rapid movement. I will be responsible for forging them, and they will be responsible for paying for them."

"So, in a short period of time, I need to farm more magic stones to make my own costumes, and at the same time, gather as much experience as possible to level up, so that when Ganesha's military police are reformed, I can also join in and get some experience with the military police."

"Trying to freeload?"

Ryu was a little confused by this description.

"It's about helping the military police arrest those lawbreakers!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed at the table.

“Didn’t Manager Mia say that I have to make enough achievements? Originally, I thought it might take some time, but now, I’ll help the Ganesha Familia reform, make the military police stronger, lead the military police to clean up the criminals in Orario, and then use the power of cleaning up the criminals to deter those hiding in the shadows, so that they dare not break the law and commit crimes, thereby improving the environment of Orario.”
