"Don't worry, this is the bottom line," Alaya said calmly.
"The Shiki family is one of the four great families of exorcists. The characteristics of this family can be seen from its name, and as the heir to the family, Shiki Ryogi has had a split personality since birth."
Ryuji became interested, "Ryogi has multiple personalities? I don't know at all."
"That's before and after. Later, the split personality of Shiki Ryogi dies, and she awakens the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception! "Alaya doesn't mind giving Ryuji any spoilers at all.
Ryuji wrote down this information, if this is a game, this is a clue to trigger the plot!
"As for the preferences of Shiki Ryogi, she only has a kimono at the moment, and it seems that she likes to eat ice cream in the future."
"If Ryuji doesn't mind, you could wear kimono more often, maybe that will increase your goodwill," Alaya suggested.
The corners of Ryuji's mouth twitched, "Goodbye."
He didn't even wear a kimono for the festival, that's too unorthodox!
Alaya said indifferently, "As you wish."
Gaia who had been in the background all along finally said impatiently: "You guys have chatted enough, don't waste any more time!"
"Ha, Gaia, don't be impatient." Alaya looked at Ryuji: "Then Ryuji can rest easy, I will take care of your girlfriend in the real world for you!"
Ryuji had a strange expression.
But now he is a grasshopper in the same rope as the Counter Force, so he can only choose to believe.
"Hopefully so."
Although there are still many doubts about that world, Ryuji doesn't know where to ask, so he can only take it step by step in the future.
"By the way, I still have a present for Ryuji!" Alaya said suddenly.
"What?" Ryuji was surprised, but Alaya seized the opportunity and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ah, what are you doing!" Ryuji backed away in panic, as if entangled by something terrifying.
No, Counter Force is a scary thing!
"This is called 'Alaya's Blessing', and it is a very noble thing," Alaya said seriously.
(I believe you're a ghost!) Ryuji was slandering in his heart, but he couldn't find any proof that Alaya was lying.
There seems to be no reason to refrain from 'speaking' directly.
"Disgusting." Ryuji rubbed the place that Alaya had "blessed" with disgust.
"Exaggerating!" Alaya smiled disapprovingly.
"What needs to be said has been said, and the rest is up to you. You also know the place that Root arranged, and it's hard for us to hold back."
"I wasn't counting on you." Ryuji said angrily.
"So indifferent." Alaya shrugged, ready to send Ryuji on his way.
"We will send your body there for you."
Ryuji appears in this palace in spirit form, but his body may still be hugged by Utaha in the real world.
"Do not disturb her." Ryuji warned.
Alaya patted her chest and assured, "I'll take care of this matter, don't worry!"
Ryuji was too lazy to complain, and nodded his head meaningfully.
And then... He fainted before his eyes.
Ryuji's figure disappeared in the magnificent palace, and there were only two Counter Forces left here.
"What do you want to do?" Gaia asked coldly.
"Give him self-protection. If he accidentally dies, I will be in a lot of trouble," Alaya said in a relaxed tone.
"If the trail is triggered, you will be noticed by Root," Gaia reminded.
"I know, but there's always a price to pay for freedom." Alaya's tone is flat, but reveals her madness for freedom.
She was imprisoned in this cage forever, she didn't want that fate.
It's ironic that the Counter Force can control the fate of most lives, but the Counter Force can't even maintain its own freedom.
"...You can indulge him." After a long time, Gaia choked on these words.
"Don't worry, he won't let us down." Alaya believed in Ryuji.
...
The darkness seemed ephemeral to Ryuji, and he didn't even have the dazzling feeling of suddenly seeing light when he opened his eyes.
"As simple as that?" Ryuji stood up and found himself sleeping in the alley like a bum.
"As expected of Counter Force, this method is far simpler and more brutal than spiritual transfer!"
Compared to the teleportation of spirit particles that appeared in the air with a high probability every time, the Counter Force teleportation made Ryuji more comfortable.
When he returned to Chaldea next time, he would give Olga Marie some advice.
After all, Ryuji was also a Chaldea Master who had experienced many battles, so this situation should be considered a business trip.
Even though it was the kind without the help of Heroic Spirits.
Even though Ryuji talked about it, his heart was very calm.
He surveyed the situation around him.
Surrounded by 1990's style buildings, full of ancient history.
Ryuji suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask Shiki Ryogi's age.
Fortunately, in the alley there is a lot of trash, like old newspapers that can be known at this time.
"Is this 1997..."
