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

Ryu knew very well why she was hiding her identity, so her explanation was very clear.

"Although the guild hasn't contacted me proactively for a long time, the bounty is still on. If my identity is exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble."

Liu was right about that. Once her identity was exposed, the guild that had been turning a blind eye might not do anything, but those adventurers who acted for money would definitely take action for money.

In the original storyline, after her identity was exposed, she was targeted by an expeditionary force of adventurers and members of the dark faction. It wasn't until the guild announced that [Gale] was dead that Ryu was able to change her name and resume her activities as a rookie adventurer.

Yes, a Level 6 new adventurer.

"So, for your safety, I have to hide my identity. I really didn't mean to."

After finishing speaking, Ryu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a pleading expression, and Fujimaru Ritsuka slammed her hand on the table again.

"Alright, that hurdle is cleared. So why did you say you were a member of the Artemis Familia?"

"Do you know that when Lady Astrea found out, she was very sad and thought you didn't want her anymore?"

"I...I didn't say I didn't want Lady Astrea. I've always been thinking about Lady Astrea. I just panicked when you asked me that question, so I lied. I'm so sorry!"

Ryu apologized hastily, but Fujimaru Ritsuka wouldn't listen and continued to press her advantage.

"Do you know how worried Lady Astrea has been about you and how much she's been waiting for you? When I first came to Orario, she specifically told me to find you and tell her how heartbroken she was when I couldn't find you in Orario. She was so heartbroken that she couldn't eat or sleep, fearing that something had happened to you in Orario."

Astrea listened in stunned silence.

Do I have one?

Although it did make her a little sad that Ryu didn't go to Solingen to find her, she ate and slept normally afterward, and it wasn't that exaggerated!

But upon seeing the pitiful expression on Ryu's face, Astrea also played along, immediately looking at Ryu with teary eyes.

When Ryu saw the tears welling up in Astrea's eyes, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Lady Astrea...I..."

Astrea took the opportunity to open her arms to Ryu.

"Lady Astrea!"

Ryu cried as she threw herself into Astrea's arms and cried while hugging her.

“I didn’t mean to. I didn’t want Lady Astrea. I’ve always wanted to go to Lady Astrea, but I’ve been afraid. I’m afraid that what I’ve done will make you despise me. I’m afraid that Lady Astrea will abandon me.”

"I won't despise you, Ryu. I will accept everything you do, just like what Ritsuka did. No matter what you do, as long as you always uphold the justice in your hearts, you will both be my beloved children."

Astrea gently comforted Ryu while patting him on the shoulder.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the two embracing each other and smiled with satisfaction.

According to the original plan, he was going to tease his useless predecessor for a while longer, but plans can't keep up with changes. The appearance of the Sky Curtain allowed Astrea to arrive in Orario earlier, and the identity of his useless predecessor would definitely be exposed sooner. Since it's already earlier, he might as well let them recognize each other.

Of course, you need to take the lead in this family reunion process.

Although I also concealed the fact that I knew you, was it not wrong for you to hide your identity from me?

So Fujimaru Ritsuka took the initiative right away, and as he expected, Astrea cooperated very well and had a great time. The useless senior was completely led by the nose by him and Astrea.

But the result was pleasing, wasn't it? The misunderstanding between the useless senior and the goddess Astrea was resolved directly. There was no need for so much sentimentality. They just hugged each other and cried, and everything was fine after that.

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave up the space to the god and the spirit who were embracing each other, and left the main house alone.

Ryu has already reunited with Asteria, so now I need to speed things up and get Ryu back to her family.

Of course, the reason is the same as in the original work: to make the original Ryu "die," and then Ryu join the familia as a newcomer. After all, Ryu did kill many people, so it's not good to let her go directly.

However, with his current achievements, it's unlikely he can change the guild's mind.

"It looks like I need to talk to the guild about this."

Guilds, as organizations, inherently involve a multitude of interests, making complete fairness virtually impossible. After all, they lack their own military force; their armed forces all originate from Ganesha's military police. It's only because Ganesha is truly capable that he has consistently worked for the guild; otherwise, given the guild's current state, it would have been destroyed long ago.

With that thought in mind, Fujimaru Ritsuka left her clan's residence and headed to the guild.

He wanted to find the guild and discuss giving it more power and benefits.

For example, the Happy Street, which the guild has never been able to control!

Volume 1: 83. Zhou Shuren: Spirits are all compromises

At the Babel Tower Guild front desk, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had left her clan's residence, quickly arrived.

"Welcome back, Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka."

The person in charge of greeting was still Eina, the half-elf receptionist, who looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile.

"Oh no, now I should call you Mr. Savior."

"Has my title been announced yet?"

"Yes, your title has been personally registered with the guild by Lord Ganesha."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded slightly.

"I'm here to see your guild leader."

"Guild Master?"

Eina was taken aback.

"Are you looking for Lord Royman?"

"Yes, please call him for me and tell him I have something to discuss with him."

"I understand. I need to check if Lord Royman is at the guild. Please wait a moment."

Eina nodded, then turned and left with a stiff expression.

Fujimaru Ritsuka understood why Eina looked so bad. It was because Eina was a half-elf, while the guild master, Royman, was a pure-blooded elf. Furthermore, Royman was racist and looked down on half-elves like Eina.

Eina went to call Royman, but she certainly wasn't going to get a good look from him.

But since Eina is Fujimaru Ritsuka's person in charge, she has no choice but to be the one to contact her if Fujimaru Ritsuka wants to see the guild master.

Not long after, Eina returned.

"Lord Royman happens to be at the guild today, please follow me."

Fujimaru Ritsuka followed Eina into the depths of the Adventurers' Guild and then began to go upstairs.

Upstairs was a large hall, and deep inside the hall was a double door. Eina stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Lord Royman, Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka, the 'Savior,' has arrived."

"Let him in."

A somewhat perfunctory voice came from inside the door.

But Eina didn't say anything, and instructed them to open the door.

"Please come in, Mr. Savior."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded to Eina and then went into the room.

The room was very large and looked more like a conference room than an office. However, there was no huge conference table in the middle, only two rows of sofas facing each other. At the head of these two rows of sofas was a single sofa by the window. An elderly and obese male elf was sitting on the single sofa looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he even had a glass of wine in his right hand.

“This should be our first meeting, but I’ve heard of your name for a long time, Mr. Savior.”

Royman raised his glass slightly towards Fujimaru Ritsuka, then gestured to the sofa on his left.

Please have a seat.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't stand on ceremony. She nodded, sat down, and then looked the other person up and down.

Royman Madil, the guild mastermind and de facto ruler of the Adventurers' Guild.

Because of the characteristics of the elf race, he has lived for 150 years. During those 150 years, he worked in the guild for a century and knew everything about Orario. More than ten years ago, he finally became a member of the guild's management by accumulating seniority, and then he began his operations.

Upon becoming part of the management team, his first action was to cut off the guild's creator, the god Uranus, from all contact with the outside world. He felt that communicating with outsiders might influence Uranus's mind, such as him being removed from the position of guild leader if Uranus became unhappy.

Therefore, in order to secure his own power, he wanted to sever Uranus's connection with the outside world!

Because Uranus was responsible for suppressing the underground city, he usually stayed deep underground within the guild's territory, which served as a physical barrier. To facilitate Uranus's prayers, the guild used its power to sanctify the underground altar, thus spiritually isolating Uranus from outsiders. As a result, no one outside could actively contact Uranus; only Uranus could initiate contact with outsiders.

But Uranus was busy suppressing the underground city and had no time to contact outsiders. Unless he notified the others when the sky appeared, Uranus would not use his divine power unless absolutely necessary.

And so, the isolation of Ouranos from the outside world was completed.

After completing the isolation of Uranus from the outside world, Royman took complete control of the guild and began his journey of enjoyment.

I've worked hard for over a hundred years, can't I even enjoy myself?

He started smoking and drinking, binge eating, gambling, and squandering money like water.

In a very short time, she went from being a beautiful elf to becoming the first obese elf in Orario's history.

Therefore, he was ostracized by the elves and regarded as a disgrace to the elves!

But he didn't care at all, and turned his attention to looking down on the half-elves, and began to discriminate against them.

Although discrimination against half-elves is a tradition shared by the entire elf race.

But this man, who loved money more than anything, was insatiable, and addicted to pleasure, was actually praised by the god Uranus as an excellent manager who genuinely wanted the guild and Orario to improve. Therefore, even after learning of his actions and behavior, Uranus chose to let it go.

Fujimaru Ritsuka really wanted to ask Uranus: Do you have some misunderstanding about beauty?

It can only be said that a certain kind of god produces a certain kind of person.

After Uranus and Cerberus agreed to train adventurers together to suppress the monsters in the dungeon, the gods that came down were more and more abstract than the last, and Uranus kept one eye on it.

While Royman claimed he wanted the guild and Orario to get better and better, Orario was actually in a state of chaos. However, as long as it made the guild money, he turned a blind eye. He even knew that a bunch of people in the guild had cooperated with the dark faction, but he still turned a blind eye.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave herself an evaluation.

They're all the same from top to bottom!

While Fujimaru Ritsuka was giving her evaluations of Royman and Uranus, Royman was also sizing up Fujimaru Ritsuka.

To be honest, he disliked Fujimaru Ritsuka very much because she embarrassed the guild on her first day in Orario. However, since she was a member of the Righteous Familia, he couldn't say anything and even had to protect her to some extent, which made him very unhappy.

Now, the other party is even disguised as someone from another world, and is considered a member of Orario's elite forces. In a sense, Fujimaru Ritsuka's status in Orario is already higher than his.

Even so, as the guild leader, he couldn't afford to lose face.

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't said anything, he took the initiative to speak.

“Mr. Savior, you didn’t come to see me just to stare at each other, did you? Just say what you want to say.”

When Royman spoke up, Fujimaru Ritsuka broke her silence.

"President Royman."

"I want to see the god Ouranos."

One sentence stopped the swaying of the wine glass in Royman's hand.

"You...want to see Lord Uranus?"

"What? Is it not allowed?"

Royman's fat face trembled slightly, and after a brief pause, he spoke.

"Lord Uranus needs to maintain the suppression of the underground city and it is inconvenient for him to meet with outsiders."

"I see."
