Watching the expressions on the two women shift back and forth, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
In truth, the reason he wanted them to join his side wasn't simply because they happened to be here.
More importantly, it was because of his own objectives.
He intended to completely resolve the Last King problem in the future. To do that, he needed time. As much time as possible.
Which meant that every single day he spent in this world had to be used efficiently.
Because of that, Shirou Emiya had no intention of returning to Japan as the Seventh Campione and taking control of the magical societies there, following the original trajectory.
He didn't have the luxury of doing so.
With the limited time he had left before leaving this world, he had already decided to remain in Europe.
To search for Heretic Gods.
To increase his strength as much as possible.
And to do that efficiently, he needed help.
He needed someone familiar with Europe's magical world. Someone who could serve as both guide and attendant, handling various trivial but time-consuming matters on his behalf.
Among the local forces, the Seven Sisters-well-known throughout Europe-naturally caught his attention.
Not only that.
Through them, he could also obtain clues related to the Heretic God Athena.
It was an arrangement that solved multiple problems at once.
In fact, aside from searching for Godou Kusanagi, Shirou Emiya's other objective on this trip had been to secure Erica and use her as a bridge to the Seven Sisters.
Liliana's appearance had been somewhat unexpected.
But also reasonable.
So Shirou Emiya simply brought both of them back.
"From today onward, you two will be my attendants."
"Your Majesty, we-"
"I'll say it again."
His tone was calm.
"This is a command."
Hearing Shirou Emiya's domineering words, Erica and Liliana both showed troubled expressions.
At the same time, excitement surged uncontrollably in their hearts.
After all, there was no place where a knight's value could be demonstrated more clearly than at a Campione's side.
For two individuals aspiring to become famous Grand Knights, this was an opportunity that might never come again.
"Alright, that's enough about this."
Shirou Emiya waved his hand lightly.
"You should first learn from Shuna."
"I'm very dissatisfied with the way you address me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"We will study hard!"
Seeing that the two were still reacting like this, Shirou Emiya shook his head slightly and turned away, heading upstairs to his room.
After he left, Shuna walked over with a gentle smile.
"Come on. I'll arrange your rooms first."
"Given your situation, you'll probably be staying here permanently."
"After that, I'll teach you how to get along with Lord Shirou."
"We'll follow all your arrangements, Miss Shuna."
"Please guide us well!"
Erica and Liliana both responded seriously.
How to interact with a Campione had always been a core lesson taught within various magical societies.
And now, they were about to learn it firsthand.
Seeing their earnest expressions, Shuna couldn't help but smile.
"It seems you're both very good children."
"Then I'll guide you properly."
With that, she led the two of them away.
Pushing open the door to his room, Shirou Emiya walked over to the table and picked up the documents placed neatly on top.
They were records of mythological legends.
Information he had previously asked Lucrezia to gather.
Battles between Campiones and Heretic Gods had always been brutal struggles where victory and defeat meant life and death.
In such battles, possessing information beforehand naturally granted a decisive advantage.
And this was a preparation that only a Campione could make.
The divinity and authorities of Heretic Gods were determined by the myths and legends that constituted them.
By understanding those myths, a Campione could prepare counters in advance.
Although Shirou Emiya possessed extensive knowledge from other worlds, he was fully aware that the myths of this world were fundamentally different from those he had encountered before.
Athena was the clearest example.
In this world, Athena had once been the supreme King of Gods. Only after being defeated by Zeus had she been demoted to his daughter.
Moreover, this world's Athena was less a single entity and more a composite existence-an amalgamation of Athena, Metis, and Medusa.
Her structure was extremely complex.
Which meant that the myths of this world were equally complex.
They needed to be relearned from scratch.
The documents currently spread across Shirou Emiya's table only covered a handful of specific gods.
"After filtering it all down..."
"The one that best fits my requirements should be Hephaestus."
Shirou Emiya stared at the documents in his hand, sinking into thought.
He had a clear vision of which gods he wanted to slay in the future.
And which authorities he wanted to obtain.
In his view, when it came to authorities, quality mattered far more than quantity.
Unlike the Campiones of this world, he could continue to grow.
For Campiones here, the moment they completed a god-slaying, their authorities and magical power became fixed.
They could no longer increase.
No matter how much they used their authorities, it only improved proficiency.
No matter how many Heretic Gods they killed, their magical power wouldn't increase-only the number of authorities would.
That was why veteran Campiones who had lived for centuries didn't hold a significant advantage over newly born ones.
They simply had more authorities.
Shirou Emiya was different.
His authorities could continuously improve.
Under these circumstances, the sheer number of authorities held little meaning to him.
Compatibility was what mattered most.
That was why he wanted to slay a God of Craftsmen.
He wanted the authority to forge divine artifacts.
His intuition told him this would be extremely important.
While it wasn't guaranteed what kind of authority one would gain after killing a god, Shirou Emiya had already formed a conclusion based on existing information and deduction.
There was a very high probability that he would gain an authority related to divine artifacts.
Even if it ended up being a composite authority, divine artifacts would definitely be part of it.
And among all candidates, Hephaestus-the god who forged divine artifacts-was the most suitable target.
The probability was high.
Extremely high.
This was his goal.
"But if that's the case..."
Shirou Emiya's expression shifted slightly.
"After killing Verethragna, won't I most likely obtain authorities similar to Godou Kusanagi's?"
After all, the Golden Sword symbolized the warrior incarnation among Verethragna's ten manifestations.
As a collective authority, it probably wouldn't be split.
Which meant it would likely come with limitations.
Just like in the original timeline.
Exactly the same as the authorities Godou Kusanagi had obtained.
"How interesting."
Shirou Emiya chuckled softly.
The road ahead was becoming clearer.
