Ritsu Conversation Time!

Illya, Shinji, and Gray walking together heading to Waver office 'cause according to Gray, The Second usually there when not busy trolling someone'

"I see so you are not Magus" Illya pondered "that explains a lot actually"

Gray confused "…explain what?"

"Your personality" Shinji stated

"???" Gray is really confused…

…

"So you are the one mentioned by the Wizard Marshal" Waver observed Illya and Shinji "quite frankly, I am quite surprised by the appearance of Einzbern heir than anything else, afterall the Einzbern suddenly didn't have any contact to the Clock Tower since around 2 years ago"

"Oh, it is understandable" Illya nodded "afterall the Einzbern massacred, and frankly speaking, I am the only one left"

"...what kind of being that capable breaching noble mansion defense and massacring the entire Einzbern family?" Waver intrigued and concerned, Gray that making a tea for the two guests was shocked hearing it 'Her entire family massacred?'

"A single magician" Shinji and Illya said at the same time and laughed at the coincidence

"Magician?! Why a Magician even massacring an entire noble magus family? Isn't they are the protector of humanity?!" Waver confused and shocked

Seeing Waver shock Illya amused and reminded "we are here not to hear why my entire family massacred" Shinji nodded "when will Zeltrech return?"

"This place is beautiful!" Ritsu looking around with a childlike glee, currently htey are wandering in the street of London

Hinako and Xiang Yu amused, happy seeing Ritsu showing her childish side more

"So how it feels?" Hinako asks

"Feel what?" Ritsu confused

"This is around the year 2003" Hinako stated and explained"you born around year 2012, that means this is the state of the world before you are born. To exist before even born, how it feels?"

"...Hopeful" Ritsu answered

"?"

Ritsu smiled "Hopeful, I know that I may or not may born in this world but after researching this world history, ignoring the supernatural, everything its still the same with the history of the world where I born."

"And why is the similarity of History bringing you hopes?" Xiang Yu interested, Hinako is also curious

Ritsu explained "Ignoring our existence that bringing butterfly effect, if we didn't interfere, isn't that means the history between two world will still the same? So even with this world that have a massive eldritch abomination that stalks in the shadow, if my world human successfully reaches a future where they sail among the star, isn't that means this world even they have to fight against the eldritch will reach the same?"

Xiang Yu and Hinako nodded finally understanding why Ritsu said 'Hopeful'

…

Seeing the sky Ritsu smile and asked both of them "…Xiang Yu, Hinako, can both of you train me to gets stronger?"

"?" Hinako and Xiang Yu confused "Don't get wrong, it is not wrong to wish to become strong but your wish its too sudden"

"Remember when I am still holed in my room?" Ritsu explained "Shinji word that he will keep trying to face Type-Mercury the anti-thesis of his own power, even knowing he will lose anyway, make me have a realization. I want to help him, afterall he is the one that give me the chance to live as human."

Xiang Yu and Hinako slowly shake their head

"You are still less then 2 years old, think about it slowly" Xiang Yu reminded "You are knowledgeable kid Ritsu, leave the thing about fighting eldritch to an adult like us"

"Savor your childhood with Illya" Hinako patting Ritsu head "you maybe not know it, seeing both of your antics it really help us mentally"

Ritsu stare at the two Shinji underling in realization, Shinji already tell her their true nature which can be summed as, Xiang Yu: A Servant, A Berserker, a war machine that longs for true peace, Hinako: Someone that alone for nearly 2000 years wandering without goal…

'Both of them not the epitome of mental sanity…even Illya also insane in some way. Shinji even says it himself that he is not sane' Ritsu thought in realizations 'In this ragtag group, consisted Long Dead Hero, Elemental Slash Vampire, Ultimate Homunculus, and A Magician only me an AI turned Human that have something resemblance of sanity'

Ritsu sighed "but I really want to help when the time comes. I didn't want to feel useless in a fight…especially in a world as dangerous as this"

Xiang Yu and Hinako nodded at each other "You are not useless, Ritsu…"

"...even we agree to train you, It will not help you" Hinako pinched Ritsu cheek "I am born this way, and Xiang Yu is an Artificial Being, so he also strong from the start"

Ritsu is feeling down.

'...I may able to help'

"Arceus? Sorry I still not get used to you talking directly to my mind" Ritsu apologized

'Apologies, but as I said I can help you gaining power'

"How?" even Xiang Yu and Hinako curious

'Just a while ago, Creator trying some technique that he got from an unknown world, it was thanks to your reminder that he trying to obtain power that not useless against Type-Mercury or any soulless enemy in general' Arceus recounted 'It works by making a contract with a higher being, Creator trying to make contract with me because my original template that used to create me was based on a higher being in series called Pokemon. Sadly because I am is Creator familiar, the technique didn't register me as a higher being, in the end, the technique failed. Creator abandoned the technique because it is really a risk contracting with random higher being'

"I can use it?"

'Yes, you can make a contract with me' Arceus nodded 'because to a normal human, I am registered as a higher being'

"So what is the price of the contract?" Ritsu asked

'The original price of the contract is energy, specifically Bio-Energy, but I don't need it' Arceus said 'Afterall you are Creator sister friend. Creator order me to give you highest priority if he and his little sister not around, followed by both of them'

Hinako and Xiang Yu can only smile wryly hearing they are the lowest priority from the bunch, well the other is a Servant and the other one is Elemental with vampire characteristic, while Ritsu is a normal AI turned human…

"But, I can't give you nothing!" Ritsu starts to think "how about mana? Its also and energy right? Each time I use the technique I will give you a stable stream of mana, afterall as pokemon you didn't have mana right? I believe you only have Aura"

'...'

'...very well, but I will only accept a small stream of it' Arceus resigned 'I doubt I will need it much'

"Well, when someone as powerful as you are better to have many option in case of emergency" Ritsu smiled "so what is the technique called?"

'I believe it called Charyeok'
