Chapter 27: Enemy?
Ritsuka then walked out of the control room, as he did he pumped into somee and looked at who he did, as he meet his eyes, Ritsuka felt like to punch his light out, not just him but Kama who was invisible wanted to do as well, the guy had a smirk that seemed fake as he was wearing the Chaldea outfit.
Ritsuka looked at him. "Sorry about"
The just chuckled and spoke to Ritsuka. "No problem anyway name is Beryl Gut pleaser to all mine".
Ritsuka's eyes narrowed as he looked at Beryl Gut, the unease he felt bubbling beneath the surface. Beryl's reputation preceded him, and not in a good way. The fake smile on Beryl's face only made Ritsuka more suspicious, his instincts screaming that this was not someone to be trusted.
Kama's voice echoed in his mind, filled with disdain. *"This guy reeks of bad news, Ritsuka. Be careful around him."*
Ritsuka forced a polite smile, though every fiber of his being wanted to do otherwise. "Ritsuka Fujimaru," he introduced himself, keeping his tone neutral. "And no problem, these things happen."
Beryl's smirk widened, his eyes scanning Ritsuka with an unsettling gaze. "Ah, the famous Ritsuka. I've heard a lot about you. Quite the rising star here at Chaldea."
Ritsuka kept his guard up, sensing the hidden malice behind Beryl's words. "Just doing what I can to help," he replied, keeping the conversation short.
Beryl chuckled, the sound grating on Ritsuka's nerves. "Of course, of course. Well, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of each other around here."
As Beryl walked away, Ritsuka felt the tension in his shoulders ease slightly, but the unease lingered. He had a feeling that this wouldn't be the last time he'd cross paths with Beryl, and he knew that when it came to people like him, caution was essential.
Kama's voice broke through his thoughts. *"We need to keep an eye on that one. He's dangerous."*
Ritsuka nodded internally, agreeing with Kama's assessment. *"Yeah, we will. Let's stay vigilant."*
Ritsuka watched Beryl's back as he walked away, his expression darkening. "He seems like the kind of guy who handles the dirty work around here," he muttered under his breath, a hint of suspicion in his voice.
Kama, still invisible but very much attuned to Ritsuka's thoughts, chimed in with a touch of concern. *"Yeah, I get what you mean. He's probably the one who 'deals' with anyone who tries to leave Chaldea and spill its secrets. The kind of guy who wouldn't hesitate to eliminate threats, no matter who they are."*
Ritsuka nodded slightly, his mind already racing through the implications. Beryl wasn't just a Master in Chaldea—he was a threat, someone who could be a problem if left unchecked. "We'll have to be careful around him. If he really is the cleaner, then he's dangerous in more ways than one."
Kama agreed, her tone serious. *"Definitely. We can't afford to let our guard down around someone like him. If he even suspects anything, it could be trouble for both of us."*
Ritsuka sighed inwardly, knowing that his already complicated life just got a little more tangled. "Just another thing to keep an eye on. But we'll handle it, like we always do."
With that, Ritsuka pushed the encounter to the back of his mind for now, knowing he couldn't let Beryl distract him from his current mission. But he also knew that when the time came, he'd be ready to confront whatever danger Beryl posed.
Ritsuka then walked to his room, with Morgan, as he opens he saw an orange hair girl coming out his room, he was a bit confused seeing the girl, the girl just looked back at him with her Amber yellow eyes meeting Ritsuka sky blues, they just stood there in silent
The girl spoke. "Can I help you?".
Ritsuka just looked at the Girl. "Yeah I am Ritsuka Fujimaru and your in my room".
The girl was bit confused but she decided to polite. "I think you got It wrong, also I am Gudako the 48th Master candidate for Chalde I just came and the director gave me this room".
Morgan just looked at the girl. "Olga gave you this room, but this ours".
As then Ritsuka got a text from Olga as it says 'hey Ritsuka forgot to mention but your getting a new room, here is the map'. Ritsuka saw the new location of this room in Chaldea and it was next to Team A, which made him sighted, Team A was hand picked By Chaldea and they were, as Kadoc had told Him, Kirshtaria Wodime, Ophelia, Akuta Himiko, Pepe, Daybit, and Beryl, Ritsuka was ok with Kadoc, Ophelia and Akuta a bit
Ritsuka sighed as he read Olga's message, feeling a mix of annoyance and resignation. "Looks like there's been a mix-up," he said, glancing at Morgan, who was still eyeing Gudako with mild suspicion. "Olga's moved us to a new room, and it's right next to Team A's quarters."
Gudako, noticing the tension, relaxed slightly and offered a small smile. "Oh, I see. Sorry about the confusion, then. I guess I just got here at an awkward time."
Ritsuka nodded, his thoughts already shifting to the implications of his new living arrangements. Being so close to Team A meant he'd have to deal with their presence more frequently, which was both a blessing and a curse. Kadoc was fine, and he had some level of tolerance for Ophelia and Akuta, but the others, especially Beryl, were another story.
"It's fine," Ritsuka replied, offering Gudako a friendly smile in return. "Welcome to Chaldea, Gudako. I hope you settle in well. If you need anything, just let me know."
Gudako nodded appreciatively. "Thanks, Ritsuka. I'll keep that in mind."
As she left, Ritsuka turned back to Morgan, who was still watching Gudako's retreating figure. "Well, it looks like we've got new neighbors," he remarked, trying to lighten the mood.
Morgan gave a small, resigned sigh, her demeanor softening. "I suppose we'll just have to adjust. But don't think I'll let this go without having a word with Olga."
Ritsuka chuckled, knowing that Morgan's protective nature wouldn't let this slide easily. "I'll leave that to you, then. For now, let's go check out our new room and see what we're working with."
With that, the two made their way to their new quarters, Ritsuka mentally preparing himself for the challenges that living near Team A would inevitably bring.
Ritsuka arrived to his new room, as he saw next to was the room all 6 of team A was staying, as he walked he heard the door opens he just hoped it was Kadoc or Ophelia, as he saw it was Ophelia.
Ophelia looked at Morgan and Ritsuka, but she only fouced on Ritsuka her crush. "Oh Ritsuka I didn't expect to see you here, what brings you here".
Ritsuka just looked at the girls. "I was moved to here".
Ophelia eyes light up ans she was cheering in her mind. "Oh that is nice, does that mens your now a part of team A". She was hoping the answer was yes.
Ritsuka chuckled softly at Ophelia's enthusiasm, noticing the slight blush on her cheeks. "Not exactly," he replied, trying to manage her expectations. "I'm just living next door now, so I guess you could say I'm an honorary neighbor to Team A."
Ophelia's initial excitement dimmed just a bit, but she still smiled brightly. "Well, that's close enough," she said, trying to sound casual but failing to hide the happiness in her voice. "It'll be nice having you around more often."
Morgan, standing beside Ritsuka, observed the interaction with a neutral expression but remained silent. She was well aware of Ophelia's feelings for Ritsuka, and while she wasn't thrilled about it, she respected Ritsuka's ability to handle the situation.
"Yeah, I suppose it will be," Ritsuka responded, his tone friendly. He appreciated Ophelia's company, even if her feelings made things a bit more complicated. "I guess I'll be seeing more of you and the others."
Ophelia nodded, her heart racing a bit. "Definitely. And if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask, okay?"
"Thanks, Ophelia. I appreciate that," Ritsuka said with a warm smile.
As they stood there, a slight awkwardness hung in the air, but it wasn't unpleasant. It was just the natural tension that came with unspoken feelings and the complexities of their situation. Finally, Ritsuka decided to break the moment. "Well, I should go check out my new room. I'm sure there's a lot of unpacking to do."
Ophelia nodded quickly. "Of course! I won't keep you. But… maybe we could catch up later? Just to, you know, welcome you properly."
Ritsuka smiled at her suggestion. "Sure, I'd like that."
With that, Ophelia waved a little too eagerly before retreating back into her room, her heart fluttering with a mix of excitement and nerves. As the door closed behind her, Ritsuka sighed and turned to Morgan, who raised an eyebrow at him.
"You really do attract trouble, don't you?" Morgan remarked, though there was no malice in her voice.
Ritsuka chuckled. "I guess so. Let's see what this new room has in store for us."
Ritsuka examined the list on his Harem System with a mix of curiosity and contemplation. The system was giving him a clear view of his current and potential harem members, as well as a list of other female Master candidates who might be interested.
Ritsuka went to his new room, it was bigger then his last one as he just looked at it.
[ Harem Members:
1. **Kama** – His devoted Wife who had accompanied him from school to Chaldea.
2. **Mash Kyrielight** – His loyal and courageous partner, who had feelings for him.
3. **Morgan La Fey** – His powerful and assertive Servant, who claimed him as her husband.
**Potential Harem Members:**
1. **Olga Marie Animusphere** – The Director who had shown personal interest, though her approach had been awkward.
2. **Ophelia Phamrsolone** – The Master Candidate who clearly harbored feelings for him. ]
He scrolled through the list of female Master candidates, noting their names and brief profiles. They were all potential candidates for interest, but each had their own unique personalities and backgrounds that could make them intriguing additions.
Ritsuka sighed and thought about the current dynamics. He knew that his relationships with Kama, Mash, and Morgan were solid, but the interactions with Olga and Ophelia added new layers of complexity to his life at Chaldea.
As he pondered the potential developments, Kama walked over and sat beside him. "What are you thinking about, my love?" she asked, her tone light but curious.
"Just the new room, and how things seem to keep getting more complicated," Ritsuka replied with a half-smile. "It looks like the more involved I get with Chaldea, the more attention I attract."
Kama chuckled softly, leaning in closer. "Well, you do have a certain charm. It's only natural that people would be drawn to you."
Ritsuka nodded, appreciating her support. "Yeah, I suppose. For now, I guess I'll focus on settling into this room and figuring out how to manage everything.
Kama placed a hand on his shoulder reassuringly. "We'll manage it together. Whatever comes our way, we'll face it as a team."
With that, Ritsuka closed the Harem System and started unpacking, feeling a renewed sense of determination. He knew the challenges ahead would be numerous, but with the support of those around him, he felt ready to tackle whatever came next.
Ritsuka then just looked at the system. "I am just surprised that Akuta is not in the list".
Kama just looked at him and giggled. "Will there is a reason for that, show him system
[ Alright creators, they are two reason why, either Akuta is not interested to guys or romance at all, or she already has a lover she is devoted to, sense you deleted the NTR function people who already have a loving relationship with someone don't get effect by your skill or even the system create by Kama aka the Harme system ]
He turned to Kama, who was watching him with a teasing smile. "So, it seems Akuta either isn't interested or she's already taken. Either way, it makes sense."
Kama nodded. "Exactly. It's important to respect those boundaries. Besides, you already have quite the impressive list."
Ritsuka chuckled. "Yeah, I suppose. Sometimes I think this whole situation feels like a bit of a harem anime. But, it's real life, and I have to navigate it carefully."
Kama smiled warmly at him. "Just remember, no matter how complex things get, I'm here to support you. And, it's not just about managing relationships but also about the bonds you build with each person."
Ritsuka appreciated her support and took a deep breath. "Thanks, Kama. I'll keep that in mind. Let's focus on making the best of this new room and our time at Chaldea."
As they continued to unpack and settle in, Ritsuka felt more prepared to handle the complexities of his life at Chaldea, knowing he had a strong support system by his side.
Morgan then looked at Ritsuka as she had helped him finish unpacking. "Husband how many woman's do you want for your harem".
Ritsuka though for a bit and then picked a random number which he regret saying. "100 girl/wife's".
Morgan's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and excitement. "One hundred? That is quite ambitious, Husband. Are you sure you can handle that many?"
Ritsuka, realizing the enormity of what he had just said, rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Well, I guess I didn't really think it through. It was just a number that came to mind."
Morgan chuckled softly, clearly entertained by the idea. "It's alright. If that's your goal, then we shall see how things unfold. But remember, quality matters just as much as quantity."
Kama, who had been listening from nearby, nodded in agreement. "Morgan's right. Building meaningful relationships is more important than simply reaching a number. We'll navigate this together."
Ritsuka sighed in relief. "Yeah, I understand. It was a bit of a slip, but I appreciate your support. Let's focus on what's important and take things one step at a time."
Morgan smiled warmly and gave Ritsuka a reassuring pat on the back. "We'll manage, Husband. With your determination and our combined efforts, we'll find a balance that works."
As they finished unpacking and settled into their new room, Ritsuka felt more at ease knowing he had the support of both Morgan and Kama. He was ready to face the challenges ahead, one step at a time.
Kama then spoke to him, as she just looked at him. "Also didn't think you will be building a small harem, your the owner of my system, and I making sure your getting a large harem no matter what".
Ritsuka just looked at his wife's and just golped. "What counts as large harem to you, sense your a goddess of love and Lust".
Kama's eyes gleamed mischievously as she answered, "To me, a large harem would mean a diverse and substantial number of companions, ideally surpassing the traditional limits of mortal expectations. Think of it as a grand collection of relationships that span across various dimensions and qualities."
Ritsuka, feeling a mix of apprehension and curiosity, asked, "And how many would that be in your view?"
Kama smiled enigmatically. "In the realm of gods and divine beings, a truly large harem could easily number in the hundreds or even thousands. But remember, it's not just about the number. It's about the depth and uniqueness of each connection."
Ritsuka gulped again, this time with a bit more understanding of the scale Kama was hinting at. "Alright, I'll keep that in mind. I suppose it's something we'll work on together."
Kama nodded, her expression softening. "Exactly. We'll build it step by step, ensuring each relationship is meaningful and fulfilling. The journey will be as important as the destination."
With that, Ritsuka felt a mix of excitement and trepidation about the future, but also a sense of determination to navigate the complexities of his evolving relationships with Kama and Morgan by his side.
