"Nice to meet you. I'm Asahi. As for why I brought you here, the reason is simple, you've done something you shouldn't have!"
Asahi looked at Oriana in front of him and said. He didn't intend to kill her. The rationale was similar to before: she wasn't purely bad, or rather, her thinking was a bit skewed.
Why does he say that? Oriana herself wished to be someone others needed. But if she helped one person, it often led to another's loss.
In essence, it's impossible to achieve perfection, and she wanted everyone to be happy. To put it plainly, it's like hoping for world peace.
Originally, wishing for world peace isn't an issue, as no matter which worlds it is, there are such fanatics.
The most typical example would be the Naruto World. Many there strive for peace, but the results of taking the lead are problematic. Their actions tend to drift further away from what's considered peace.
As for Oriana, her aspirations are even more absurd than hoping for world peace, because she wishes for everyone's happiness.
That's akin to wishing there were no conflicts in the world, but is such thing even possible? That's why Asahi thinks that she has a problem with her brain.
To put it simply, she's a bit of a lunatic, so Asahi does not intend to outright kill her, as there is no need for her to die. Making her pay a bit would already suffice.
"I've done something I shouldn't have? Are you from Academy City?"
Oriana asked with a puzzled face. She knew that she must have committed something, after all, she helped another person with their cover.
Moreover, once another person's plan succeeds, the entire Academy City will be affected.
"You could say that. Your actions with Lidvia will have a significant impact on Academy City, and it won't be a positive one."
"I have nothing to say about your fanaticism. But I believe it's better for you to live in this world as an ordinary person!"
Asahi decisively nullified her magic and altered her memories. From now on, she would live as a regular person in Academy City.
Her mindset was too bizarre, much like Emiya Kiritsugu's, both of them are dangerous individuals riddled with extreme contradictions. So, the best outcome for such individuals would be to forget certain things and lead an honest, ordinary life.
In just a moment, Oriana's memories were wiped, and Asahi also made arrangements with Aleister.
From now on, she would live here without encountering any dangers as long as she didn't meddle in matters she shouldn't.
After dealing with her, Asahi moved her aside. Oriana is simply a decoy to divert others' attention. The real troublemaker was Lidvia, who was planning something for the evening.
She intended to use the Apostle's Cross to convert the entire Academy City into the Orthodox Church's territory, a method that makes Asahi feel sick.
Although the Orthodox Church held vast influence, it was also one of the most convoluted within all the religious factions, housing a multitude of erratic individuals.
As for Lidvia, her animosity toward science led to her desire to eradicate it, a level of fanaticism that one could never understand.
In short, it's just madness, much like saying you hate someone, and then you will literally kill him. That's what Lidvia is doing.
For the Orthodox Church, she's a problem child, but the same goes for everyone else in Orthodox Church, as they're all problem children.
Of course, as far as science is concerned, she isn't just a problem child, but a bona fide criminal, so Asahi doesn't intend to spare her like he did Oriana.
Her intentions are purely evil. Although Oriana's idea might be a bit peculiar, she has good intentions, that's why Asahi can spare her lives. But this girl is different. She's pure evil, so he won't let her off
At this moment, Lidvia has reached her destination. Because no one paid attention to her, no one knew about her appearance here, as all of them were attracted by Oriana.
Her plan is to wait until evening when she can use the Apostle's Cross.
Apostle's Cross requires starlight as guidance. This is the condition for activation. At this moment, Lidvia is looking at the Academy City in front of her, and her expression gradually became a little twisted.
The Academy City represents the pinnacle of the science side or can be considered synonymous with it. As long as she turns this place into the territory of Orthodox Church, there will be no more science side in the future.
That would make her happy. In simple terms, she's a maniac.
"Has anyone ever told you that your smile is downright creepy?"
Asahi really couldn't stand it anymore, so he came out directly. Looking at Lidvia, who has a twisted expression, in front of him, he was truly at a loss for words.
"Someone actually followed me here. Didn't Oriana attract everyone's attention?"
After seeing Asahi, Lidvia's expression changed subtly, and she subconsciously felt that something might have happened to Oriana.
However, upon further consideration, she felt that it does make sense. Although Oriana has attracted a lot of attention, it wasn't a guaranteed one hundred percent focus.
"I have already dealt with Oriana. She is not a magician anymore. I abolished her ability and altered her memory. She will just be an ordinary person living in Academy City from now on!"
Asahi grinned as he revealed what he had done. But Lidvia was left momentarily stunned, followed by sheer astonishment.
She hadn't thought about this at all. Although she viewed Oriana merely as a tool, she knew this tool was quite formidable. Yet now, she'd been dealt with by the other party. What's more bizarre was that her memories were erased, her magic is abolished, and she was reduced to an ordinary person.
'What kind of horrible means is that? It is more terrifying than killing her directly.'
"Don't look at me like I am a devil. Although I've killed an angel, it was the Angel who provoked me first. Okay then, now, are you going to hand over the stuff nicely, or should I just get rid of you and take it myself?"
Asahi said with calm expression.
