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

When Fujimaru Ritsuka was undergoing basic training in Solingen, he didn't just train. He also helped others in Solingen along with other members of his familia, and had already witnessed all kinds of darkness.

This is true for Solingen, and even more so for Orario.

Fujimaru Ritsuka had only been in Orario for a day when she was robbed twice. The reason she was robbed was because she was a newcomer to Orario. Yes, just because she was a newcomer.

Few dare to rob those high-level adventurers. Those who dare to attack high-level adventurers are all adventurers from the dark faction. On the contrary, it is low-level adventurers who dare to attack ordinary people and newcomers. They not only bully ordinary people and newcomers, but they also capture newcomers who have just arrived in Orario and sell them as slaves.

Yes, there is human trafficking and slave trading in Orario! Even Fujimaru Ritsuka's predecessor, Ryu, a high elf, was targeted by slave traders when she first came to Orario and was almost captured and enslaved.

Fujimaru Ritsuka had considered that this was none of his business, but as an ordinary person who had once lived on Earth, he genuinely disapproved of such behavior. It was one thing for him not to be able to witness these things firsthand, but now that he could see them, intervene in them, and even had the power to do so, he naturally had to get involved!

To fulfill his promise to the goddess Astrea, and also to satisfy some small desires within himself, he, possessing the FGO system, will become a righteous partner in this world!

What are you doing?!

"Wow!!"

The sudden scream startled Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was feeling smug after putting on a show. Turning around, she saw Ryu, dressed as a waitress, standing on the roadside with his hands on his hips, glaring at her.

“You startled me, it’s Miss Ang, we meet again.”

After calming her startled heart, Fujimaru Ritsuka greeted Ryu with a grin.

"Yeah, we meet again... Wait, I meant to ask you what you're up to!"

"What the heck?!"

"It's exactly what you did right in front of the guild gate!"

Ryu was full of arrogance. She had originally arranged with the others in the shop to help cover up her past and pretend that Ryu didn't exist. However, after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Fujimaru Ritsuka. Instead, she received some shocking news: someone was dragging eight adventurers towards the guild on the Northwest Street.

Such incidents are usually defined as fights within the city and handled by the military police, which is quite common. But for some reason, Ryu felt that this matter was not so simple, so she ran out to take a look. What she saw was astonishing: the person dragging eight people was none other than her own junior. Then she witnessed the entire process of her junior showing off in front of the Adventurers' Guild.

She only came over to ask after her juniors left the guild and headed west.

"What were you thinking? How could you say something like that to the guild? Do you know how much trouble that will cause?"

"I know."

Fujimaru Ritsuka crossed her arms.

"Then why did you say that?"

"Of course!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded firmly.

"Because I am a follower of justice!"

Volume 1: Chapter 14. The Abundant Mistress

A righteous family—what a simple yet powerful answer.

With just a simple sentence, Ryu understood Fujimaru Ritsuka's determination and gained her full approval of him.

This kind of behavior—knowing it will be difficult but still doing it—is very similar to that of Alexie, the captain who recruited her into the Asteria Familia, who said the same thing back then.

“Miss Ang, as a newcomer, you may not know that something happened to our Astria Familia that caused our goddess to leave Orario, but she has always kept Orario in her heart.”

Seeing that Ryu was lost in memories, Fujimaru Ritsuka took the opportunity to explain.

"The goddess has always wanted to restore justice to Orario, and I am the one who will bring justice back to Orario!"

"Besides that, do you remember the senior member of the Familia I mentioned to you when we were in the dungeon? Our goddess has always been thinking of her."

Ryu snapped out of her reverie and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise.

"Is...that's how it is?"

"Of course, the goddess has always missed my senior and was worried that she was not doing well. She once wanted to come to Orario to find her senior, but she was worried that returning to Orario would make her senior's situation more difficult. As for the specific reasons, I won't tell you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved at Ryu, making Ryu feel a little embarrassed.

"So my goddess is staying in Solingen, and I'm here to make contact with that senior."

"By the way, what happened to you before? Why did you suddenly run out?"

"Ah, this one."

Seeing that the topic had suddenly shifted to her, Ryu quickly began to explain.

"Actually, I am the employee of the 'Fun Lady' shop you mentioned. I work at that shop. Today is my workday. I took advantage of my break to go to the dungeon, but I forgot the time. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been scolded badly by the manager for being late."

After saying this, Ryu's face turned slightly red. Lying to her junior, Fujimaru Ritsuka, filled her with self-reproach.

As for the reason, it was the shop assistants who came up with it for her. After all, Ryu herself was at the Fengrao hostess's place, and she definitely couldn't run away from there. So, this was the only reason they could use to explain why Ryu didn't answer the questions and suddenly ran away.

"Oh, I see!"

Fujiwara Ritsuka had a look of sudden realization, followed by a look of surprise.

"Then you'll be with my senior!"

What was the name of your elder?

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced around and, finding no one watching her, went straight to Runa's long, elven ear.

“My ancestor’s name was Liu Liang, and she was an elf like you, except that she had blonde hair.”

The sudden heat from her ear startled Ryu, causing her to shrink back. But upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, she understood that Fujimaru Ritsuka was protecting her and preventing others from knowing her name.

Fujimaru Ritsuka watched as Ryu shrank back, blushing, her lips slightly upturned, before she immediately looked apologetic.

"Sorry, I got too close."

"It's okay, it's okay. You must have something important to say that you don't want others to hear. I'm fine with it."

Liu shook her head hurriedly.

"Thank you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded gratefully.

“This…is indeed a rather important matter, Miss Ang. My senior has been wanted by the guild, so I don’t want anyone else to know her name. But don’t worry, she’s a good person. Those guys in the guild are just making things up.”

Liu nodded, her face flushed.

"It's okay, I... I understand what you mean."

"However, considering the guild's wanted notice, my senior must have used a different alias, but there's no doubt she's a blonde elf. Do you have any blonde elves in your shop?"

"Feel sorry."

Liu continued to lie, her face flushed.

"We don't have any blonde elves in our shop."

"Huh? No?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Ryu in surprise.

"Why don't you think about it again?"

"Sorry, we don't have that. I'm the only elf in our shop; everyone else is human or a catwoman."

"what?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her hair, looking completely bewildered.

"No way, could it be that the goddess has made a mistake?"

"The goddess is not mistaken."

Liu quickly began to explain.

"How so?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Ryu with curiosity.

"If I'm not mistaken, my senior should be the female lead in Fengrao. This is something my goddess found out with great difficulty."

"Is it possible that your predecessors once lived in the land of the rich lady, but later left, which is why they are not here now? I have only been in Orario for a short time and have only been working in the shop for a short time, so I haven't seen any other elf compatriots."

"This....."

Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned and pinched her chin.

"That's certainly possible!"

"Let me take you to my shop and ask the manager. The manager should know."

"Okay, thank you."

"No trouble at all, come with me. It's almost dinner time, so why don't you have dinner at my shop?"

After saying that, Ryu quickly led Fujimaru Ritsuka away from Northwest Street and headed towards West Street.

When Ryu brought Fujimaru Ritsuka to the door of the Toyō-no-Mistress shop, the staff had already been waiting for a long time.

“Ryu...nyanyanya~~ Oh! You're back, meow. This is... no, who is this, meow?”

Ania, standing at the door, saw Ryu and habitually called her name, but quickly changed her address after realizing that someone was following Ryu.

Liu glared at Ania, almost revealing her identity with just her first sentence.

“Ania, I’m back. This is a friend I met in the dungeon at noon.”

"Oh! He's the new member of the Asteria Familia that all the guests have been talking about today, meow! He's good-looking, meow!"

Ania spoke with a surprised expression and an exaggerated tone, making Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips twitch involuntarily.

Exaggerated, far too exaggerated!

Knowing the plot, Fujimaru Ritsuka knew that the catwoman was acting in cooperation with Ryu, but at least be a little more serious about the acting. This exaggerated performance makes it look like you're performing in an opera.

To appear normal, Fujimaru Ritsuka reached out and poked Ryu's arm. Ryu turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka, asking with her eyes.

"Um... is this how you usually talk here? It feels weird."

"Um..."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Liu's face.

“We don’t usually talk like this. Her name is Ania. She has a lively personality, so she sometimes talks like this.”

Ryu dumped the blame on Ania, who couldn't refute it because her performance had been terrible.

The other employees in the store couldn't stand it anymore and came out one by one, with the silver-haired Seele leading the way.

"Hey! You're back. What did you see when you ran out to see what was going on? Huh? Who's this?"

Faced with the question from the most powerful clan's chief deity, Fujimaru Ritsuka answered without changing her expression.

"Hello, I am Fujimaru Ritsuka from the newly formed Asteria Familia!"

It's just acting, I can do that too!

P.S.: New book, please add to your favorites~ Please recommend!

Volume 1: 15. Let's eat first!

"Sigaoyi! Bro, how could you say something like that!"

"This is the first time in all these years that I've heard of someone daring to speak to a guild like that!"

"Hey buddy, are you that brave?"

Inside the lavish hostess's house, the shop assistants surrounded Fujimaru Ritsuka, all looking at him with smiles.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived at the shop, Ryu recounted what had just happened at the Adventurers' Guild. The shop assistant girls, after hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's glorious deeds, all sighed in amazement, as what Fujimaru Ritsuka had done was something that had happened only once in a thousand years.

After enjoying the flattery from the staff, Fujimaru Ritsuka replied with a smile.

"It's nothing. I just can't stand those people's behavior. Besides, I'm a member of the Goddess of Justice, so naturally I have to stand up and do something."

"A righteous family, huh?"

As Seele listened to Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, she did not sense any lies in them. This meant that what Fujimaru Ritsuka said was true. As a god, even with her divine power sealed, she still possessed the ability to distinguish lies.

After confirming that what Fujimaru Ritsuka said was true, she became very curious.

"The Asteria Familia has always been a female-only clan. You're the first male member. How did you join the Asteria Familia?"

"Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm curious too, meow. How did you, a boy, join the Asteria Familia, meow?"
