Kadoc stared at Ritsuka, his coffee halfway to his mouth. "What? No way."
Ritsuka shrugged nonchalantly. "Ereshkigal is the seventh. The others are Mash, Ophelia, Olga, Marie Alter, Koyanskaya, and Jalter."
Kadoc blinked, clearly taken aback. "What about BB and Morgan?"
Ritsuka shook his head. "They weren't virgins when I summoned them, so I didn't have to deal with that."
Kadoc let out a long sigh, setting his coffee cup down. "Not how I imagined starting my morning."
Kadoc leaned back in his chair, shaking his head as if trying to clear the strange conversation from his mind. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore, considering everything that's happened."
Ritsuka chuckled softly, taking a sip of his own coffee. "Yeah, this is just another day in the life of a Master. But you know, it's not all about that."
Kadoc raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself. "Oh? And what else is it about?"
Ritsuka leaned forward, looking serious. "It's about balancing the responsibility of leading everyone and dealing with the challenges we face. Personal matters aside, we've got a war to prepare for and enemies to fight. It's not always easy to juggle everything."
Kadoc nodded, understanding the weight of Ritsuka's words. "True. We've all got our roles to play, and sometimes those roles include dealing with... less conventional issues."
"Exactly," Ritsuka agreed. "Sometimes it's easy to get lost in the chaos and forget what really matters. But as long as we stay focused and support each other, we can handle whatever comes our way."
Ophelia walked in, catching the tail end of the conversation. "Morning, everyone. I see the topic of the day is already set."
Kadoc looked at her, trying to shift the focus. "Yeah, just a little... chat about Ritsuka's personal life."
Ophelia smiled wryly. "Well, as long as we're all clear on our priorities, that's what matters. How's everyone feeling about our current situation?"
Ritsuka straightened up. "We need to stay vigilant. There's still a lot we don't know about our enemies and their plans. Plus, with the lostbelt issues, we have to be ready for anything."
As the group settled into a more serious discussion about strategy and preparations, the earlier awkwardness faded. They began to focus on their immediate tasks, working together to ensure they were as ready as possible for the challenges ahead.
Hours passed as they discussed tactics, reviewed their resources, and prepared for the battles that lay ahead. The conversation shifted back to strategy and the importance of teamwork, with everyone contributing their thoughts and ideas.
Ritsuka felt a renewed sense of purpose as he looked around at his companions. Despite the personal challenges and the awkward moments, he knew they were all in this together. And as long as they stayed united, they had a fighting chance against whatever threats awaited them.
As the day wore on, Ritsuka and his team continued their preparations, focusing on their mission and the tasks at hand. The earlier conversation was a reminder of the complexities of their lives, but also of the strength they drew from each other.
Ritsuka the looked at Kadoc. "So did you and Anastasia Fuck"
Kadoc almost chocked in his coffee as he looked at Ritsuka. "The fuck"
As then Anastasia cane to the room, Anastasia cane to answer to Ritsuka. "Yes, he very gentle"
Kadoc's face turned bright red as Anastasia calmly answered Ritsuka's blunt question. He sputtered, trying to recover from nearly choking on his coffee.
"Anastasia!" Kadoc exclaimed, his voice a mix of shock and embarrassment.
Anastasia, however, seemed completely unbothered by the situation. She smiled serenely as she took a seat beside Kadoc, placing a hand on his shoulder. "What? It's true. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Ritsuka grinned, clearly enjoying Kadoc's discomfort. "See, Kadoc, nothing wrong with a little honesty among friends."
Kadoc buried his face in his hands, muttering, "This is not how I imagined having this conversation."
Ritsuka chuckled. "Well, considering how much we've been through, I guess it's only natural for things to get personal sometimes."
Anastasia nodded in agreement. "Exactly. In times like these, it's important to cherish the connections we have. It helps us stay strong."
Kadoc sighed, finally lifting his head and giving Ritsuka a pointed look. "Can we not turn this into a habit of discussing each other's private lives? I think I've had enough surprises for one day."
Ritsuka raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright. No more prying questions. Just thought I'd check in."
Anastasia smiled softly at Kadoc, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "Don't worry, Kadoc. We're all in this together. And besides, it's not like our relationship is a secret."
Kadoc sighed again but smiled back at her. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Just... maybe next time, a little warning before you answer so openly?"
Ritsuka laughed, the tension easing as the three of them returned to more casual conversation. As they continued to chat, the awkwardness faded, replaced by the camaraderie that had grown between them over the course of their journey. Despite the strange and often uncomfortable moments, they knew they could rely on each other, no matter what challenges lay ahead.
After a while in the meeting room, as Ritsuka, Goredolf, Nemo, Sharlock, Kadoc, Ophelia, Mash, Da Vinci and Dr Romani were gather.
Ritsuka looked at them. "From my future knowledge about before the reset the next Lost belt is the Indian Lost belt or as he called it Yuga Kurukshetra"
Kadoc then looked at before he spoke. "You said something on the line of God Arjuna when we First asked you"
Ritsuka nodded, his expression serious as he addressed the group gathered in the meeting room. The air was thick with anticipation, and everyone was focused on what he had to say.
"Yeah," Ritsuka began, "God Arjuna—or Arjuna Alter, as we know him—is the ruler of the Indian Lostbelt, Yuga Kurukshetra. This Lostbelt is unique because it's essentially a world where the cycle of creation and destruction, the Yuga Cycle, has been accelerated by Arjuna to create what he considers a perfect world."
Da Vinci leaned forward, her fingers steepled as she considered his words. "Accelerated Yuga Cycle? That sounds like a world where everything is in constant flux. What exactly does that mean for us?"
Ritsuka took a deep breath, recalling the details. "It means that Arjuna has compressed the four Yugas—Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali—into an endless loop. In his eyes, this is how he maintains order and perfection. However, this has resulted in a brutal, unyielding world where only the 'perfect' survive. The entire Lostbelt is under his control, and his power is almost godlike, literally."
Nemo, ever the strategist, spoke up. "So we're dealing with a being who controls the entire cycle of life, death, and rebirth in his Lostbelt. That makes him practically unstoppable."
"Not to mention," Sherlock Holmes added, his tone thoughtful, "Arjuna Alter is likely to have the support of other divine entities or powerful beings from Indian mythology. He's not someone we can underestimate."
Ophelia's eye gleamed with a mix of curiosity and concern. "You mentioned before that this Lostbelt will be particularly challenging. What makes it different from the others we've faced?"
Ritsuka glanced around the room, making sure everyone was following. "The main difference is the nature of the Lostbelt itself. While other Lostbelts we've encountered had their own versions of human society, Yuga Kurukshetra is entirely shaped by Arjuna's divine will. It's a world where the weak are purged in each Yuga, and only those deemed worthy by Arjuna survive. The constant resetting of the world means that it's difficult for any kind of resistance or rebellion to take root."
Goredolf, who had been listening intently, looked worried. "So, it's a world where the odds are stacked against anyone trying to challenge the status quo. How do we even begin to fight against something like that?"
Mash spoke up, her voice steady. "Ritsuka, from what you've told us, it sounds like this Arjuna Alter is a god who has lost touch with what it means to be human. If we're going to have any chance of defeating him, we'll need to find a way to exploit that."
Ritsuka nodded. "Exactly. Arjuna Alter's obsession with perfection might be his greatest strength, but it could also be his greatest weakness. If we can find a way to disrupt his control over the Yuga Cycle, we might be able to destabilize the Lostbelt enough to confront him directly."
Romani, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. "Ritsuka, do you have any idea who or what we might encounter in this Lostbelt besides Arjuna? Knowing what other threats are out there will help us prepare."
Ritsuka took a moment to gather his thoughts. "Aside from Arjuna Alter, we're likely to face other powerful Servants or divine beings who serve him. One of the key figures is Ashwatthama, who in this world has become something akin to a divine protector of the Lostbelt. He's fiercely loyal to Arjuna and will be one of our toughest opponents."
Kadoc rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Ashwatthama… I've heard of him. A hero from the Mahabharata, cursed with immortality. He's known for his invincibility in battle."
"Exactly," Ritsuka confirmed. "And there's more. There's also the possibility of encountering Kama, the god of love, who in this Lostbelt could take on a far more dangerous form. We need to be prepared for anything."
Ophelia sighed, a determined look in her eye. "It seems like we'll be facing divine opponents almost every step of the way. But we've come this far—we'll find a way to prevail."
Da Vinci nodded in agreement. "We've faced impossible odds before, and we've always found a way through. This will be no different. We just need to stay focused and work together."
Ritsuka looked around at his team, feeling a surge of pride and confidence in their abilities. "We've been through so much together, and I believe in all of you. No matter what Arjuna Alter throws at us, we'll find a way to overcome it. We have to, for the sake of humanity."
Everyone in the room shared a determined nod. The path ahead was fraught with danger, but they were ready to face it head-on. The Indian Lostbelt would be one of their toughest challenges yet, but with their combined strength and resolve, they were determined to succeed.
As the meeting came to a close, the team dispersed to make preparations for the upcoming mission, each of them fully aware of the stakes and ready to face whatever awaited them in Yuga Kurukshetra.
Ophelia then looked at him. "But we are looking at this like it will happen like before the reset"
Ritsuka just sighed and looked at her. "That is whole point seeing how Anastasia lost belt was different, and 2nd lost belt was a new lost belt and then there is the fact if Akuta 3rd lost belt, I have zero idea if the Indian Lost belt is going to be the same"
Ophelia's brow furrowed as she absorbed Ritsuka's words. "You're right. The resets have thrown everything off. We can't assume that what we experienced before will happen exactly the same way again. Each Lostbelt could be completely different, and that unpredictability is what makes this so dangerous."
Ritsuka nodded, his gaze serious. "Exactly. The second Lostbelt was already a completely new one, and Akuta's Lostbelt, while similar to what we knew, had significant differences. The Indian Lostbelt might follow a similar pattern, or it could be something entirely unexpected. We have to stay on our toes."
Kadoc leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "But that brings up another issue. Why haven't we told Akuta about the reset? She's in the dark while the rest of us know the truth. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
Ritsuka sighed, rubbing the back of his neck as he considered the question. "It's not about fairness, Kadoc. It's about protecting her. When you and the others learned about the reset, it wasn't easy to process. You all handled it in your own ways, but it was still a shock. Akuta's been through a lot already, and if she found out that everything she knows has essentially been rewritten… I'm not sure how she'd react. The last thing we need is for her to have a breakdown in the middle of a mission."
Ophelia nodded in agreement. "It was hard enough for us to come to terms with it. We've had time to adjust, but she hasn't. Springing something like that on her could do more harm than good."
Mash, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke up. "But we can't keep her in the dark forever. At some point, she's going to find out. Wouldn't it be better if we were the ones to tell her, instead of her finding out in some other way?"
Ritsuka looked at Mash, appreciating her concern. "I know, Mash. I've thought about that too. But right now, our priority is to get through the Indian Lostbelt. After that… we can figure out how to break the news to Akuta without causing her too much distress."
Da Vinci chimed in, her tone thoughtful. "It's a delicate situation, for sure. But Ritsuka's right. We have to pick the right moment. If we do it wrong, it could throw everything into chaos."
Kadoc sighed, reluctantly accepting the reasoning. "Fine. But we can't keep delaying it forever. Once this Lostbelt is dealt with, we need to sit her down and explain everything. She deserves to know the truth, just like the rest of us."
Ritsuka gave a small nod, a serious expression on his face. "Agreed. But for now, let's focus on the task at hand. We need to be ready for whatever the Indian Lostbelt throws at us. Whether it's the Arjuna Alter we remember or something entirely different, we'll face it together."
The room fell into a contemplative silence as everyone processed the discussion. They were all aware of the delicate balance they needed to maintain, both with the mission ahead and the truth they were keeping from Akuta. It was a heavy burden, but one they were all willing to carry for the greater good.
After a moment, Sherlock broke the silence, his voice calm but firm. "We have our work cut out for us. But as always, we'll adapt to whatever challenges come our way. Let's make sure we're prepared for every possible scenario."
With that, the meeting slowly broke up, each member of the team heading off to make their final preparations. The tension in the air was palpable, but so was the determination. They had faced the impossible before, and they were ready to do it again. The Indian Lostbelt loomed ahead, but they would face it together, as they always had.
Kadoc then relies something. "Wait your said rrh goddess of love Kama not God, the last time I check Kama is a guy.
Ritsuka just sighed and looked at him. Here
As he gave them his laptop as he went a very specific section, it was labeled 'My Harem memeber and how to get them back' they didn't Question it as there was information about mash, Olga, Morgan, BB, Morgan, Jalter, Koyanskaya, Draco and BB. Ophelia and Marie Alter was not there because they were a part of the butterfly effect, before they saw Kama name, everyone thought was Ritsuka into guy and girls before they read everything about Kama, after reading it everyone but Ritsuka face went to multiple confusing.
Dr Romani was the first person to speak. The fuck, Kama was reborn as a girl what
Ritsuka sighed deeply, rubbing his temples as the confusion spread across the room. He knew this moment would come, but it didn't make it any easier to explain.
"Yeah, it's complicated," Ritsuka began, glancing at everyone's bewildered expressions. "Kama, originally a male god of love, was indeed reborn as a girl in this timeline. It's one of those weird quirks of the Lostbelts and the way different realities can mess with the usual rules. Kama's personality and powers are still largely the same, but her form is… well, different."
Kadoc blinked, still processing the information. "So, let me get this straight. Kama, the god of love and desire, was somehow reborn as a girl, and now she's... what? Part of your harem?"
Ritsuka nodded, not without a touch of resignation. "Exactly. And yes, she's very much part of the group now. Believe me, I was just as surprised as you when I first found out. But you know how these things go—nothing's ever straightforward when it comes to the Lostbelts."
Mash looked thoughtful, her brow furrowed as she stared at the laptop screen. "I suppose it makes sense in a way. Lostbelts can warp reality, so it's not entirely out of the question that something like this could happen. But still, it's… unusual."
Sherlock, ever the analytical mind, tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Reality is indeed a fluid concept in these Lostbelts. If Kama's essence was preserved but her form altered, it would be in line with the unpredictable nature of these divergent timelines. However, it does raise questions about the continuity of divine identities and their manifestations in different realities."
Da Vinci grinned, trying to lighten the mood a bit. "Well, at least we know that Ritsuka's harem is truly diverse. Gods, goddesses, human, divine, and everything in between. It's like a mythological melting pot."
Dr. Romani, still trying to wrap his head around it, shook his head in disbelief. "This whole situation just keeps getting stranger. First, we have Lostbelts that shouldn't exist, and now gods changing gender and joining a harem. I'm not sure whether to laugh or be concerned."
Ophelia, who had been quiet during the discussion, finally spoke up. "Ritsuka, are there any other surprises we should be aware of? Anyone else in your… group who's not quite what they seem?"
Ritsuka hesitated for a moment before answering. "There are a few more anomalies, but nothing as drastic as Kama. The rest are mostly the same as they were before, just with some... personality adjustments. But I'll keep you all updated if anything else comes up. Trust me, I don't want any more surprises than you do."
Kadoc let out a long sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. "I swear, this job just keeps getting weirder and weirder. But I guess that's par for the course with Chaldea."
Ritsuka chuckled, trying to ease the tension. "Yeah, it's never a dull moment around here. But we'll manage. We always do."
The group exchanged glances, still processing the information, but slowly coming to terms with it. They had faced impossible odds before, and they would do it again. If anything, this was just another chapter in the long, strange story of their journey through the Lostbelts. As they moved forward, they knew they had to be ready for anything—because in this world, even the most unexpected surprises were just part of the job.
