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

She knew the ending, but no one believed her, and she couldn't change it. She could only passively wait for the ending to come, which filled her heart with pessimism.

"Sober and sorrowful?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

"They really do each have their own unique characteristics."

"But no matter what, this is your justice."

"So, you two want to join the Familia of Justice?"

Daphne and Cassandra looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise.

"You're inviting us to join the Astrea Familia?"

“In my opinion, the Apollo Familia will be disbanded, Apollo will be expelled from Orario, and you will become independent adventurers without a Familia. So it’s not a problem for me to extend an invitation to you.”

The Apollo Familia has grown to its current size almost entirely thanks to Hyacinthus, who truly carried the weight of everything for the Apollo Familia on his shoulders.

As mentioned earlier, Hyacinthus would capture whoever Apollo took a fancy to, and Hyacinthus would abduct whoever Apollo wanted to join his kin.

The woman in front of me, Daphne, was forced to join the Familia by Hyacinthus. She was unwilling to join the Familia at first, so Hyacinthus would capture her. No matter where she hid, Hyacinthus would catch her the next day and tell her what Apollo wanted. It was no use where she hid unless she left Orario.

In the original work, the Apollo Familia even attacked the Hestia Familia in broad daylight, which can be described as incredibly audacious.

One can only imagine what kind of dirty things such a family had done in the past.

Of course, more abstractly speaking, even so, it's still much better than the Soma clan selling divine wine and making deals with the dark factions.

Therefore, his only fate was expulsion!

Daphne and Cassandra readily agreed to Fujimaru Ritsuka's invitation.

"We are willing to join the Astrea Familia!"

P.S.: Third update today! Looking for recommendations! Looking for monthly tickets! Looking for hate mail!

Book 1: Chapter 89. Apollo's Exile

"I apologize, Lady Astrea, for inviting them to join the Familia without your permission."

At the Babel Tower guild headquarters, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood straight in front of Astrea, apologizing to her with a serious expression.

Daphne and Cassandra stood behind him, their faces tense.

This situation made Astrea, sitting on the sofa, shake her head and laugh.

"It's alright. You said you're the most beloved person in our clan, so isn't it only right that you have some special privileges?"

"Moreover, the reason you invited them to join our clan must be because you have already verified their righteousness."

"Yes, I have verified their justice."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded affirmatively.

"Since you've already verified them, they can naturally join the clan. In fact, I'd be happy to have them join the clan."

Upon receiving confirmation, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately dropped her previous serious demeanor and turned around to look at the two people behind her with a grin.

"See? I told you I'm Lady Astrea's favorite! So there's nothing to worry about!"

After receiving Astrea's affirmative answer, Daphne and Cassandra visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the game area, although they agreed to let Fujimaru Ritsuka join the familia, Fujimaru Ritsuka also told them that he was not the leader and did not have the authority to recruit people into the familia. He said they had to go back and tell the goddess Astrea before they could do so.

This sentence has kept Daphne and Cassandra on edge ever since. Even though Fujimaru Ritsuka told them on the way that they didn't need to worry, that Goddess Astrea was easy to talk to and there wouldn't be any problems, and that they just needed to confirm with the goddess, they were still very worried.

Now that they had received a clear answer, they finally felt at ease.

"Thank you very much, Goddess Astrea."

Upon regaining her senses, Daphne immediately thanked Astrea.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Ritsuka, because he's the one who invited you."

Astrea smiled gently.

"However, if you want to switch sects, you will definitely have to wait a while, because the matter of the Apollo Familia is not yet over. You can only switch sects after everything is settled."

"Of course, while you're waiting, you can be considered members of our Astrea Familia. If anything happens, just come find Ritsuka or me."

"Thank you, Lady Astrea."

Daphne and Cassandra both smiled.

This is such a wonderful treatment. I used to live such a miserable life in the Apollo family.

“Then let’s go back to the Apollo Familia first; our things are still there.”

“Let’s go together later. We also need to deal with the Apollo family’s affairs. Their property will also be handled by our family.”

Although Astrea is not a money-loving goddess, why not take money that is offered to you for free?

To obtain Ritsuka from the Asteria Familia, one must pay a price; the rules of war games are that simple and cruel.

During the conversation, guild staff members from not far away also came over, along with the chief god Apollo and the military police responsible for carrying out the procedures.

"Consultant!"

As soon as the crowd approached, the military police officers greeted Fujimaru Ritsuka. Although Fujimaru Ritsuka was not a member of the Ganesha Familia, he was in the military police, so he was considered one of their own.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in response to the military police's greeting.

"How are the members of Apollo's family doing?"

"Their injuries were not particularly serious, and they have all received appropriate medical treatment. They are currently resting at the military police headquarters."

More than a hundred members of the Apollo Familia were wounded by Fujimaru Ritsuka's arrows, and the few wet nurses in the group were taken away. The treatment of the wounded is also a problem.

Fortunately, they had prepared medical supplies when they were preparing for the war game, so there were no deaths. The military police arrived in time to provide treatment, so everyone, including Hyacinthus, returned to Orario alive.

"Very good, hard work."

"Not hard, not hard."

The military police officers quickly shook their heads.

"Consultant, we will now cooperate with the guild staff to conduct an asset liquidation at the Apollo Family."

Upon hearing the military police mention asset liquidation, Apollo, who had been silent all along, immediately reacted.

He quickly ran to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Ritsuka-kun, please, don't take everything away from me. If you take everything away, I'm doomed!"

"You were just begging for my protection in the game, and I can give you protection! Just let me go this time!"

"Isn't this the wager you've placed on challenging our Astrea Familia?"

Astrea stands between Fujimaru Ritsuka and Apollo, preventing Apollo from harassing Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Apollo, don't strike that pose."

"I...."

Apollo wanted to say a few more words, but Astraea didn't give him a chance and continued her pursuit.

“When the game started, you weren’t like this. Back then, you looked so confident of victory. Who are you trying to impress now? Since you’re willing to risk everything to take Ritsuka away from me, then you should be prepared to accept the consequences.”

"Furthermore, the blessing that Ritsuka prayed for is not for you, Apollo!"

"Damn it!"

Astraea forcefully exposes Apollo's performance, making Apollo grit his teeth in anger.

"Asteria, I admit that Ritsuka is very powerful, but I lost this time because I didn't know that Ritsuka had other powerful abilities and I didn't prepare a sufficient response, which is why I lost."

"But you should know that my Familia is not considered a particularly powerful one in Orario. There are many Familias above me. Although I lost, Ritsuka-kun also revealed his last hidden skill."

Apollo looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smug expression.

"Ritsuka-kun, do you think the next familia that challenges you will restrict the use of your already revealed trump cards?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stared speechlessly at Apollo, whose smug expression made it seem as if he was the next challenger and would win again.

"Whoever the next challenger is, it's none of your business, Apollo, because you'll be banished from Orario soon."

"you!"

Apollo was about to get angry, but a guild staff member nearby stopped him.

"Apollo, we've already wasted too much time, let's set off."

Apollo's angry expression immediately froze, and then, under the watchful eyes of the guild members, he helplessly turned around and began to lead the way.

Led by the Apollo clan, they inspected the clan's residence, inventoried all their property, and seized the residence.

With the key to the Apollo Familia's residence handed over to Asteria, the Apollo Familia officially announced its withdrawal from Orario.

Volume 1: Chapter 90. Rider Achilles!

Apollo left Orario dejectedly.

Apart from Hyacinthus, who remained devoted to him and left with him, the rest of Apollo's retinue chose to switch allegiances.

After all, most adventurers are driven by money. If your familia can't provide me with a good future, why should I follow you? The Apollo familia was expelled from Orario and without the income from the dungeon, they simply couldn't support such a large group.

So those who should run away should run away, and those who should switch religions should switch religions.

Daphne and Cassandra also registered with the guild and joined the Asteria Familia as they wished.

At the same time, another newcomer named Ryu Asteria joined the Asteria Familia, a Level 5.

When Eina from the guild was helping with the registration, she seemed to think Daphne and Cassandra's documents were normal, but she was shocked when she saw Ryu's application form.

What do you mean by "LV5 newbie"? And the surname is Astrea, are your parents crazy fans of the goddess Astrea? Did they give you this surname? Or did you choose this surname yourself?

Although shocked, Eina was ultimately just a guild receptionist. When others handed her documents, all she could do was register them.

So, after Apollo left Orario, the Astrea Familia suddenly gained three more members.

The LV5 newcomers, in particular, immediately attracted a great deal of attention.

Those who don't understand have mixed opinions. Some complain that Asteria is easy to pick up, and after Fujimaru Ritsuka, she picked up another LV5 newbie. Others complain that Ryu saw that the Asteria Familia was about to rise, so she temporarily changed her name and joined the Asteria Familia as a newbie, wanting to ride the wave of the Asteria Familia's rise.

It must be said that although the ending was wrong, the process of criticizing it was correct.

Those who understand will immediately grasp the meaning upon seeing the name "Liu".

But Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored the noise outside.

While Ryu and the other two were submitting their documents to the guild to join the Asteria Familia, Fujimaru Ritsuka hid in his bedroom at his Familia's residence, checking his own earnings.

"Let me see what the rewards are."

【Special Achievement: War Game Apollo】is complete.

The achievement reward of 30 Saint Quartz has been distributed.

"There really are 30!"

Looking at the rewards displayed on the screen, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but laugh.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka agreed to Apollo's request, she guessed that it would be 30 pieces, and now it really has been 30 pieces!

"Very well, gentlemen! I love war games!"

The entire war game process is very easy. Just throw a Noble Phantasm and knock someone down with a stick, and you can get 30 Saint Quartz. Fujimaru Ritsuka said that this kind of event is too good to pass up!

"Draw a card! Draw a card!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't wait to throw all 30 Saint Quartz into the Fourth Shinobi World War limited gacha pool.

After all, keeping stones on your person won't increase your combat power; drawing out a Servant is the greatest way to strengthen yourself!

After a quick 10-pull, a golden light appeared!

Open the card, and the first one is a gold card!

Steel Forging

Fujimaru Ritsuka expressionlessly tore open the golden dress; he didn't even want to look at it!

This thing came right off the bat, completely ruining my good mood!
