This child's thought process is at least half a pound lighter than Sephie's.
Sephie is probably like that because she's lacked nightlife for too long.
As for Erica-maybe it's because she's been single for too long.
Ignoring the girl in front of him and going straight for the stone tablet instead... Grayfia watched Hiro's actions and reached her own conclusion.
Is this some kind of divine artifact in this world?
In reality, it was just a grimoire.
Not even close to a divine artifact.
Hiro, of course, had no intention of explaining that.
Holding the stone tablet that subtly distorted the surrounding air, he silently communicated with the Great Reincarnation Spell within his body, attempting to have the "White Horse" recorded in the tablet bypass Verethragna and condense in advance into the Authority-form of the White Horse.
"Tsk."
It didn't work.
Something was still missing.
Hiro clicked his tongue, dissatisfaction clear.
He had originally thought that if possible, he could use Prometheus' Secret Tome to quietly take Verethragna's Golden Sword, then proceed to strip away the remaining nine Authorities, turning the undefeated God of War into nothing more than a shell overflowing with magic power but devoid of abilities.
A pity.
That plan died at the second step.
What's missing?
Contraception?
Hiro's mouth twitched violently as he turned to look at the silver-haired maid standing to his left, her expression calm and unchanging.
"Grayfia. Take this girl and come with me."
After speaking, Hiro left behind Godou Kusanagi-whose memories had already been tampered with-and walked toward the nearby exit.
Arriving in Naples.
Meeting a kind compatriot.
Taking a smooth boat ride straight to Sardinia.
Returning to the country on the same day.
That was the memory Hiro had implanted into Godou Kusanagi.
From here on, Godou only needed to wander around Naples to "complete" the task of returning the stone tablet, take the evening train back to Rome, and fly home the next day.
Perhaps, under arrangements made by Godou's grandfather and Susanoo, he might still become the seventh, eighth, or ninth Campione.
But at the very least, these two Heretic Gods had nothing to do with him this time.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Seventh-Tier Luck extraction.
Reward obtained: The Third Magic - Soul Materialization.
First Seventh-Tier.
Second Seventh-Tier.
Both yielded Soul Materialization.
Is my luck good or bad?
Hiro muttered inwardly.
After all, the only concrete application of Soul Materialization he knew was one thing-
Incarnating Servants.
As for why Godou Kusanagi had Seventh-Tier Luck while Issei Hyoudou only reached Fourth-Tier, Hiro didn't need the System to explain it.
It came down to potential.
Without the Boosted Gear, Issei wouldn't even qualify to step into the hidden world.
Naturally, he couldn't compare to Godou Kusanagi, the future "transcendent" in the original ending.
"Yes."
Grayfia bowed slightly.
Then, without hesitation, she grabbed Erica by the back of the neck-like lifting a kitten-and carried her along behind Hiro.
The movement was sharp and efficient.
Even fierce.
Even if you didn't want to hug her, couldn't you at least carry her properly?
Watching Grayfia's posture, Erica's dangling form, and the shame and despair on the blonde girl's face, a sense of amusement rose in Hiro's chest.
Honestly.
This scene was pretty entertaining.
"Please rest assured."
Grayfia spoke calmly, as if sensing Hiro's gaze.
"I have buffered Miss Erica's movements. There will be no harm to her body."
"Mhm. As long as you know what you're doing."
Hiro nodded and lifted the restriction on Erica's ability to speak.
"Hey!"
The moment she regained her voice, Erica glared fiercely at Hiro-Grayfia's master-and shouted.
"Who exactly are you two?! What is your purpose in taking that grimoire?! Doing something like this on the territory of the Bronze Black Cross isn't something you can brush off with a few apologies!"
"And what is this posture?!"
Her voice grew sharper.
"It's embarrassing! Put me down right now! I can walk by myself!"
As she spoke, water gathered rapidly at the corners of her eyes.
Tears welled up.
A pitiful, wronged expression appeared-like an innocent girl about to be bullied by villains.
If it were an ordinary man, that expression might have softened his heart.
He might have told Grayfia to put her down.
Might even have loosened the restraints.
But Hiro had already gone this far.
As long as he's a man, he won't be indifferent.
If I push harder, I can make him undo this unknown magic.
Erica's confident inner thoughts were completely transparent to him.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hiro glanced at her calmly.
"Then keep your mouth shut."
"For what comes next, having your maid speak is enough."
With that, Erica fell silent.
Completely.
The side effect of excessive use of Shokuhou Misaki's Mental Out at the brain level was headaches and output limits.
For Hiro, that flaw barely existed.
He hadn't experienced a headache even once.
Combined with the amplification granted by the fourth-digit Lucifer Divine Attribute to mental-type abilities, Hiro even suspected-
He might be able to directly control the minds of Heretic Gods like Melqart or Verethragna.
Of course, that would need to be tested personally.
The three reached the exit.
Grayfia waited with Erica in hand for less than two minutes.
Then-
Screeech!
A sedan slammed to a stop in front of them.
The wine-red vehicle's rear end even seemed to hit the platform wall.
Fortunately, due to the earlier commotion, no bystanders or staff noticed the scene.
"Miss Erica!"
As soon as the car stopped, Arianna-wearing a maid outfit similar to Grayfia's-leaned out of the driver's window, her eyes full of worry and shock.
Pfft... Miss Erica in that posture.
I really want to take a picture.
But if I do, I'll definitely be 'silenced' later, right?
What a pity.
Only in her mind were Arianna's thoughts this unserious.
As for attacking Verethragna-
Some people might ask why I'd go this far instead of just following the original plot.
But fanfiction is about seeing something different.
So I chose the latter.
