Kadoc then arrived to the place of the group, as he looked at Mash. "I am here to help and rescue my dum ass best friend (Ritsuka), now any leads".
Mash looked at him and sighed. "Not yet, but we are trying we knows there is castle they are in but we can't find it".
Medusa then spoke. "I have flying for hourse again today and yet I still can't find it"
Morgan just sighed. "They probably turned it invisible"
Kadoc then spoke. "So what not we just hope to just bump into a walk or something".
Anastasia chuckles as she looked at him. "Will that is silly, My darling Kadoc".
Kadoc just sighed, as he still looked at the ice collar. "Can you take it of here"
Anastasia looked at him and spoke. "Nope".
Kadoc groaned, feeling the weight of the situation settling in. He had no patience for this kind of waiting game, but it seemed they were stuck with it. He could feel the pressure mounting—not only from Olga back at Chaldea, but also from his own team. They were counting on him, even if it was Ritsuka they were ultimately trying to rescue.
"So, we're just going to wait around for a miracle then?" Kadoc asked, raising an eyebrow at the rest of the group. "I mean, if the castle is invisible, how do we even know it exists? We can't just keep stumbling around hoping for a break."
Morgan, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "There is a way. But it's risky. If the castle is hidden through magecraft or some sort of anti-detection field, we might be able to bypass it—using something like an Aetheric Distortion Field, or—"
Medusa interrupted her, sensing the frustration in the air. "Enough of the technical talk. We don't need theory, we need action. We could use an item to bypass the invisibility spell, or perhaps we could create a distraction strong enough to draw them out."
"Or we could do what Kadoc suggested," Mash added, giving him a look. "Hope to bump into something... or someone."
Kadoc rolled his eyes but couldn't suppress a small grin. "Yeah, that sounds like my kind of plan, honestly. Just walk around, and hope we get lucky. Can't say it doesn't have a certain charm."
Anastasia, still standing beside him, was fiddling with an ice sculpture she'd conjured in her hands, absently molding it into a small figure. "You know, if you really wanted to make this work, I could always freeze the entire castle," she said with a smirk, her voice laced with mock sweetness. "It would be hard to hide something when it's encased in ice."
Kadoc looked at her in exasperation. "You're not making things easier, you know. I could use a little less sarcasm, and a little more action."
Anastasia just shrugged and patted his shoulder playfully. "You know I can't help it, darling. Besides, you're the one who wanted to do this the hard way."
There was a pause as everyone fell into a thoughtful silence, considering their options. The idea of waiting idly was unsatisfactory, but the reality was that they didn't have much else to go on. They had to act carefully.
"Alright," Kadoc finally said, breaking the quiet. "I'll take the risk. If we can't see it, let's see if we can't make them reveal themselves."
Mash gave him a solemn look. "Be careful. We don't know what Jalter might do if she senses us."
Kadoc smirked. "I've got Anastasia to freeze anyone who tries to get in my way."
Anastasia gave a teasing smile. "I don't freeze everyone, Kadoc, just the ones that need it."
"Not the answer I wanted to hear, but I'll take it," he replied, cracking his knuckles as he moved toward the edge of the group. "Alright, let's get this over with. Time to find Ritsuka."
As they prepared to move forward, the tension in the air was palpable. Everyone knew the stakes were high, but it was also clear that Kadoc was ready to face whatever came their way, even if it meant getting into a battle he wasn't prepared for. After all, this was his best friend they were talking about, no matter how much he complained about Ritsuka's antics.
Then Kadoc pumped into something, as he released that something was invisible, they got happy
Morgan then used a spell, the Invisibility stopped as then Everyone was disappointed as it was rock. "It is officially they made invisible object to throw us of, I am going to kill the Caster responsible for this"
Kama then spoke as well. "Not before I get my hand on them first, I will kill them then bring them to alive just to kill them again"
Kadoc let out a frustrated sigh, staring at the rock that had been revealed by Morgan's spell. "Well, this is just great. A rock. Really?" His eyes narrowed as he thought about the possibility of the enemy caster's intentions. "They've really gone to this much trouble to mess with us? Hiding behind rocks now? That's pretty low."
Morgan shot a glare at the stone, clearly seething with frustration. "I swear, when I find the caster responsible for this... there won't be enough of them left to resurrect. Not even Kama will get the chance to do her thing."
Kama, standing nearby, gave Morgan an amused look. "Oh, I will get my turn, don't worry. But you're right—these mind games are irritating. They've underestimated our patience. Which is unfortunate for them."
Anastasia, ever the tactician, stepped forward. "I think we've been led into a trap, yes? They probably expect us to grow impatient and rash. But that's not going to happen. We stay calm, we analyze, and we find a way around this."
Kadoc nodded. "Anastasia's right. They want us to lose focus. They're trying to misdirect us with tricks. And we're not going to fall for it."
Medusa, always focused on the mission, spoke up next. "We need to think bigger. If the rock was just a distraction, the real goal is to wear us down. So let's take a step back. There's something we're missing here. We need to keep looking for clues. Whatever's behind this—whether it's the castle or something else—they won't stay hidden forever."
Mash, who had been silently observing the group's reactions, raised a hand. "Maybe it's not about finding a physical castle. Perhaps the key is something more... spiritual? If they're using high-level magecraft to conceal it, there could be a magical signature we're overlooking."
"Exactly," Morgan said, her voice serious now. "If we can trace the magical energy used to hide it, we could at least locate the general area. It's not easy, but it's possible."
Kama grinned, the usual playful demeanor replaced by a glint of determination. "I can help with that. A little bit of divine magic should stir things up nicely. If we need to catch the caster, I'm more than ready."
Kadoc took a deep breath. "Alright, then. Let's give this one more push. We know they're here somewhere, and we're not leaving without Ritsuka."
With renewed focus, the group began their preparations. Each member of the team had their own role to play, their abilities unique but complementary in their pursuit of Ritsuka's location. Kadoc, still wearing the ice collar that Anastasia refused to remove, took a deep breath and prepared himself for whatever came next. He wasn't about to let Ritsuka—his best friend, no matter how annoying—stay locked up in some invisible castle for much longer.
The game of cat and mouse was on. And this time, they were determined to win.
As a few days passed, as Ritsuka was in his dungeon, as then he heard an explosion.
Ritsuka got up. "Alright time to escape"
As he activated Fire of the heart, it melted the chains, as then he destroyed the gate, he left his cell, he then went to Isabelle cell as he got good look at her and will he had to admit she was definitely motherly.
Isabella looked at him and spoke. "Ritsuka?... How did you escape and you could have just done that".
Ritsuka looked at her and spoke. "Ye, anyway for why, I think I can help Jalter".
He melted the door in her cell, carried in bridal carry, he then as he then activated hiper speed and ran, she yalled a bit but Ritsuka didn't stop he then broke a window and actived his skill Pegasu as the four Angelic wings where back as they landed next to Kadoc of all people will be didn't question why Kadoc was here
While everyone else charged in Kadoc and Anastasia was the last two people left to go, but before they can they heard a crash and low and behold there was the person they wanted to saved.
Ritsuka set Isabelle down gently after landing, still a bit winded from using his Pegasu skill to get them both out of the castle. The moment they landed, his eyes scanned the area quickly. He saw Kadoc and Anastasia standing in the distance, along with the rest of the group coming closer. His heart skipped a beat—he'd made it out, and now it was time to face the reality of what was to come.
As he turned toward Kadoc, he spoke with a quiet yet firm tone, "Kadoc, Jalter isn't a lost cause. I know she's not in the best place mentally, but she needs understanding. Not force. We can't just fix things by removing her like some broken tool."
Kadoc crossed his arms, still processing the situation. His gaze flickered between Ritsuka and Isabelle before returning to Ritsuka. "I see... so now we're playing the 'understanding' card?" He let out a dry chuckle. "Is that the Stockholm syndrome kicking in? Because if that's what we're dealing with, I'm gonna need a spell to reverse it fast. I'm not here to babysit some crazy woman with a deluded idea of what family is."
Anastasia, who had been quietly observing the exchange, shook her head but couldn't suppress a smile. "Already starting, huh? I knew you'd take the bait, Kadoc. Ritsuka always had a way of making the impossible sound possible."
Ritsuka shot Kadoc a glance, his face serious. "I'm not saying she's perfect. But she's not a monster either. I know you want to rescue me, but let's not forget that we're all in this together. Jalter has issues, yes, but with a little patience, I believe we can help her."
Kadoc groaned but then sighed, obviously not thrilled about it. "Well, if she hurts anyone else, though, I'm holding you personally responsible, Ritsuka."
Anastasia raised an eyebrow, "Let's not jump to conclusions just yet. The last thing we need right now is to make everything more complicated."
Ritsuka nodded at both of them, a sense of resolve building within him. "I'm serious about this. If we can get through to her—"
Before Ritsuka could finish, a loud crash echoed from the castle behind them. It was followed by an explosive burst of magic, and the familiar shape of Jalter appeared from the smoke and dust, flying toward them with reckless abandon. She landed gracefully, her eyes locked on Ritsuka. Her expression was a mix of anger and something far more complicated, but Ritsuka could see the flicker of doubt in her gaze.
"I knew you'd try something like this," Jalter said, her voice rough but with an underlying vulnerability. "You... You're not leaving me, are you?"
Ritsuka took a deep breath, walking toward her with a calming motion. "Jalter, you don't have to do this. You don't have to go through this alone. If you want to be a mother, you can be one. But you need to accept that you don't have to control everything around you to make that happen."
Her eyes flickered with confusion, and for a brief moment, the anger seemed to recede. But then, as if reminding herself of something, her expression hardened once more. "I won't let you take them from me. I won't lose my children again."
Ritsuka's heart ached at the desperation in her voice. He couldn't imagine the pain she'd been through, nor the fear that drove her to act the way she did. But he wasn't going to give up on her—not now, not ever.
"You won't lose them," he said gently. "But you need to trust us. We can work together. There's a way to help you. But it starts with you opening up, not shutting everyone out."
Kadoc shook his head but walked forward, looking at Jalter with a strange, somewhat pitying expression. "I have no idea if I buy your whole 'I want to be a mom' act, but if you hurt anyone here again, we'll handle it. And trust me, we're not going to let you do this alone anymore."
Jalter's gaze softened for just a moment, and it almost seemed like she was on the verge of breaking. But the walls she'd built up around herself were strong—stronger than anyone had expected.
Ritsuka stepped forward, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Jalter, I believe you can change. But I need you to understand that hurting people isn't the way to do it. Let me help you. Let us help you. You don't have to be alone in this anymore."
For the first time since Ritsuka had been brought to this strange place, he saw a tear slip down Jalter's cheek. It wasn't anger or hatred in her eyes, but confusion, fear, and a desperate longing for something that she had never truly allowed herself to have—love, acceptance, and family.
The silence stretched for a moment longer before she finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "Can you really help me?"
Ritsuka nodded. "I can, and so can all of us."
Kadoc scoffed, but it was clear that even he was starting to reconsider his stance. "Fine, but you're not getting away with anything. We'll keep an eye on you."
Anastasia smiled faintly, glancing at Ritsuka. "Let's just hope you're right about her, Ritsuka."
Ritsuka looked at Jalter, his expression determined. "I believe in second chances. And right now, you've got yours."
With that, the group stood united—unsure of what would happen next, but willing to give Jalter the chance she needed. The journey to understanding was just beginning.

Hope people like this Ch and give me power stones also my other fancied are getting there Ch back, I have been lately burned out, but now I am people
Ritsuka then looked at Kadoc. "So where are the other's".
Kadoc looked at him and spoke. "Mash, Morgan, Kama, Elizabeth, Kiyohime and Martha running into the castle with more then murder in there eyes, Gorgeous, Mozart, Jeane and Siegfried went there as well".
Jalter and Ritsuka eyes widents as they looked at eachother. "The kids, no our kids".
As they ran into castle, Kadoc was expecting an epic battles and not this, but he then saw many light, blast of destruction, smoke and beam of chaos probably my Kama and Medusa
Ritsuka quickly moved through the smoke-filled corridors of the castle, the chaos still ringing in his ears. His heart raced as he clutched the children in his arms, making sure none of them were harmed as they rushed out. Lyney, Lynette, and Fremint—the trio he'd just met, still young, still innocent—huddled close to him. They trusted him. And that trust weighed heavily on him as he navigated the madness unfolding around him.
Jalter stayed close behind, her protective instincts kicking in as she made sure none of the children were left behind. Her expression was a mixture of concern and determination, but her eyes had softened when she looked at them—at her children. Her heart was conflicted, but for the first time in a long while, it was full of something other than rage or fear. It was full of hope.
As they finally reached the exit, they spotted Morgan standing near the threshold, the Grail in her hands, eyes narrowing as she surveyed Ritsuka.
"Husband explained," she demanded, her voice edged with authority, but also concern.
Ritsuka sighed, still catching his breath, but grateful to have made it out. He carefully set the kids down, making sure they were all accounted for before facing Morgan. "Long story short, I learned a lot of new things," he replied, his voice still steady, despite the chaos around them.
Morgan didn't look convinced. "What do you mean by that?"
Ritsuka paused. He glanced at Jalter, who was watching him with an unreadable expression. "Jalter's not the enemy. She's... lost, confused. She's been manipulated. But she's not evil. And the kids—they're innocent."
Morgan's eyes widened slightly, her fingers tightening around the Grail. "Innocent or not, they still came from her. You realize that, right?"
"I do," Ritsuka said firmly. "But they deserve a chance. Just like she does. I'm not saying it's going to be easy. But we can't just write her off. I won't let that happen."
Jalter, hearing Ritsuka's words, stepped forward, her gaze unwavering. "I'm not a monster," she said quietly, though the words seemed to crack under the weight of her emotions. "I just... wanted to be a mother. I never wanted to hurt anyone."
The group stood in silence for a long moment. The tension between them, especially Morgan and Jalter, was thick. But after a few moments, Morgan relaxed her grip on the Grail and gave Ritsuka a knowing look. "You're a stubborn one, Ritsuka," she muttered, though there was a touch of something softer in her tone.
Kadoc, who had been observing the exchange with a raised eyebrow, couldn't help but scoff. "You all are crazy. You know that, right? But I guess... if you think she's worth saving, then fine. I'll follow your lead."
Anastasia, who had been standing off to the side, chuckled softly. "I'd say that's progress, Kadoc. But you still need to keep an eye on them. Both of them."
Jalter's eyes flickered with gratitude at the acknowledgment, though it was brief. "Thank you... but I don't deserve it."
Ritsuka gave her a small, reassuring smile. "We all make mistakes. It's how we learn and grow that matters."
Morgan then spoke, her tone softer now, almost reluctant. "Fine. But you better not pull any more stunts like this, Jalter. You're walking a fine line. Don't test us."
Jalter nodded quietly, her expression serious. "I won't."
With that, the group began to settle, the chaos of the castle now behind them. The kids were safe, Jalter had agreed to cooperate, and for the first time in a long while, there was a glimmer of hope.
As they walked away from the castle, Ritsuka glanced over at Jalter, who was walking with the children. Her gaze was distant, but there was a softness to her steps now, a tentative peace forming where once there had only been turmoil.
Ritsuka could only hope that the road ahead would be just as bright as the one they were walking down. But for now, this was enough.
After arriving back to Chaldea
Dr. Romani looked at Ritsuka, his expression a mix of disbelief and resignation as he observed the scene in front of him. Ritsuka, surrounded by Jalter, Marie, Elizabeth, Martha, and Kiyohime, all happily hugging him, was the picture of utter confusion. His usual composed demeanor was now tangled in the web of chaos he had unknowingly woven.
"So, you went to Orleans to fix a Singularity," Dr. Romani began, his voice calm yet tinged with the faintest hint of sarcasm. "Props to you, you did as you were told, but came back with five new girlfriends in your harem and an army of kids. Yeah, that seems completely normal."
Ritsuka blinked, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly, feeling the weight of all the eyes on him, especially the ones of his newest companions. "I can explain," he said, his voice sheepish, but he was quickly cut off.
Dr. Romani sighed deeply, holding up a hand to stop him. "Please don't. I don't think I want to hear it," he said, his voice defeated. "Honestly, I'm surprised it was only five. You sure you didn't adopt a few more on your way back?"
The others, who had gathered around Ritsuka, exchanged glances, some of them trying—and failing—to hide their smiles at the teasing. Jalter, ever the bold one, shot Dr. Romani a pointed look. "You know, I do find it rude to call us 'just' girlfriends'" she quipped, her arms still wrapped around Ritsuka.
Ritsuka's face turned red, and he quickly tried to diffuse the situation. "I didn't ask for this! It just... happened!"
Marie chimed in with her ever-cheerful voice, "You're not complaining, Ritsuka! Look at all these cute kids!" She gestured to the group of children who were being doted on by the others, happily playing and laughing in the background.
Elizabeth, who had been enjoying her time watching Ritsuka interact with the children, added, "He might not have asked for it, but he certainly didn't reject it. Did you, Ritsuka?"
The sighs from everyone around him were enough to make Ritsuka feel as if he were drowning in the flood of embarrassment. He could only laugh nervously. "I really didn't know what to expect when I walked into that situation. But... the kids are safe, and Jalter... she's not evil anymore. I know this is a lot, but I didn't want to leave them behind."
Martha crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow, "You just had to go and pick up an entire family, huh? You're lucky we weren't all sent to retrieve you, or else we'd be bringing back your harem."
Dr. Romani, still rubbing his temples, turned to Kadoc, who had been standing to the side, watching the chaos unfold. "You've seen all of this, right?"
Kadoc shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, it's a lot to take in. But I'll admit, you did good, Ritsuka. If I had been the one sent in, I probably would've just blown the whole thing up... But you kept your head together. Impressive."
Ritsuka turned to Kadoc, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "Thanks, Kadoc. I couldn't have done it without you and everyone else."
Morgan, who had been quietly observing the scene, crossed her arms and gave a small, sardonic smile. "I'm just here for the 'rescue mission', Ritsuka. I don't need any more wives or kids, thank you very much."
"Noted," Ritsuka said, his tone dry but appreciative.
Marie, having noticed the tension lifting, patted him on the shoulder. "Besides, all this chaos is what makes us family, right?"
Dr. Romani, still looking somewhat frazzled, exhaled heavily. "Alright, fine, I get it. But I swear, next time you go off to fix a Singularity, I'm sending someone else."
"Yeah, next time, we'll just leave you to fix things alone," Jalter teased playfully. "After all, you've already got your hands full with us."
Ritsuka could only shake his head in disbelief, though a small smile tugged at his lips. For all the madness and unpredictability of this mission, he was relieved that his friends—and now his new... family—were there to back him up.
"Next time, I'll try to keep things less complicated," Ritsuka muttered, though even he wasn't sure if he believed it.
Romani just gave him a long look. "I hope so, Ritsuka. For everyone's sake, I hope so."
But deep down, they all knew that, given Ritsuka's track record, there would always be something even crazier on the horizon.
Olga and Ophelia exchanged a look, both of them silently acknowledging the new, unexpected development. Ritsuka's ever-growing circle of affection was becoming a more complicated web with each passing moment, and neither of them was particularly thrilled about the idea of sharing him with so many others.
Olga crossed her arms, her expression as cold as ever. "Our competition for Ritsuka's affection just got bigger," she remarked dryly, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and amusement. "Five new... girls, and let's not forget about the kids. It's almost as if he's collecting them."
Ophelia, who had been quiet up until now, suddenly pulled out a small notebook, flipping it open with a practiced motion. "I'm just adding the names to the list," she replied, a mischievous smile tugging at her lips. She began scribbling furiously in the notebook. "At this point, I think we need a ranking system. 'Ritsuka's Harem: Volume 1' sounds like it's going to be a long series."
Olga couldn't help but snort at Ophelia's bluntness, though her eyes betrayed her slight concern. "It's not like we need more competition, Ophelia. Do you see the way they cling to him? And Jalter? That one already has the first-move advantage with her motherly instincts."
Ophelia flipped a page, eyes narrowing as she wrote down more names. "Oh, I see. But they can't really compete with us, can they?" She tapped the page with her pen thoughtfully. "I mean, sure, Ritsuka's got a harem now, but he's already been ours first. The rest? They're just... newcomers."
Olga raised an eyebrow. "That's... one way to look at it. But do you really think we can convince him to stop collecting more people? Because that's what it's going to take. A lot of convincing."
Ophelia smiled slyly, closing her notebook. "We've got our ways. And besides, I'm sure the competition won't be so difficult if we make our intentions clear. Don't you think?"
Olga looked at Ophelia for a long moment before smirking. "You're right. I suppose this just means we'll need to be a little... more creative about it."
The two women exchanged a knowing look, and though they were still sizing up the situation, they had no intention of stepping back. Ritsuka was theirs—and if they had to make it a battle for his affection, then so be it.
As the two left to make their preparations, Olga couldn't help but think of all the opportunities they could seize, all while Ophelia hummed contentedly, her mind already working on ways to keep their claim on Ritsuka firmly in place.
But deep down, they both knew the real challenge wouldn't be fighting off others—it would be fighting their own feelings for the man who, despite all the chaos, had a way of drawing everyone in.
Kadoc looked at the group of kids surrounding them, a mix of curiosity and confusion in his eyes. There were so many of them—more than he could count—and they all seemed to be blissfully unaware of the chaos they'd just left behind. His gaze shifted from one kid to the next, all looking up at him with wide eyes.
"So, quick question," Kadoc began, his voice laced with mild disbelief, "What exactly are we going to do with this army of kids?"
He gestured to the various children that were scattered around Chaldea, playing, talking, and running between the grown-ups like they belonged there. Some looked remarkably like Ritsuka—more specifically, the Kitten 3—while others had traits that were distinctly not from this world.
Dr. Romani, who had been watching this entire exchange from a distance with his typical deadpan expression, didn't miss a beat. "The fuck do I know?" he responded flatly, his arms crossed over his chest. "I'm a doctor, not a daycare manager. We should've known better than to let Ritsuka walk out of Orleans with more problems than he started with."
Kadoc groaned, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "I swear, this guy is a walking disaster, but no, we have to rescue him. Now we're stuck with a bunch of kids, some of whom have magic, and they're all looking to Ritsuka like he's their... what, dad?"
"Not like he isn't already playing that role for a few of them," Ophelia chimed in from behind, her voice full of amusement. "Although, I will admit, the whole 'army of kids' thing? Definitely a curveball."
Kadoc shot her a glance. "If anyone's going to make a real impact around here, it's gonna be the kids, isn't it? They'll end up becoming part of the team before we even get a chance to process what the hell just happened."
As if on cue, a few of the children ran up to Kadoc, eyes shining brightly as they clung to his legs. One of them, a small girl with dark blue hair, looked up at him and smiled widely. "Are you going to be our big brother, too?" she asked, her voice sweet and innocent.
Kadoc blinked, looking down at her with a mix of surprise and exasperation. "I... What?"
"She's asking if you're going to be part of her new family," Anastasia teased from the side, a mischievous smile playing at her lips.
"Yeah, apparently I'm collecting children now," Kadoc muttered under his breath, but there was no mistaking the hint of hesitation in his voice. He hadn't exactly signed up for this. Still, seeing the innocent hope in their eyes made it hard to stay annoyed.
Meanwhile, Dr. Romani sighed and rubbed his temples. "Great. So we've got Ritsuka, who's now some sort of father figure to a bunch of kids, and we've got a whole mess of magic-powered children on top of it." He shot Kadoc a pointed look. "You can't really expect me to figure out a solution for this, can you?"
Kadoc narrowed his eyes, pondering the situation for a moment. "No, but someone has to come up with something before the chaos here gets even worse. If we're going to be stuck with this mess, we might as well try to do it right."
At that moment, Ritsuka, still surrounded by the kids, gave them a reassuring smile, though his eyes betrayed the exhaustion that had been creeping in ever since they returned to Chaldea. He glanced over at Kadoc and the others, clearly sensing the tension.
"Hey, you guys got it figured out yet?" Ritsuka asked, his tone light but with a hint of worry underneath. "I'm... still not sure what to do with all the kids either."
Kadoc looked back at him, giving a long sigh. "We're all in the same boat, Ritsuka. You've got a lot of explaining to do, and I don't think we're quite ready to deal with all these new... family members."
"Yeah," Dr. Romani added, shaking his head. "I swear, if this turns into a whole parenting mission, I'll need a drink."
Ritsuka scratched the back of his head awkwardly, realizing the magnitude of what he'd brought back with him. But then he glanced at the kids, and despite the overwhelming responsibility, something inside him clicked. He might not have planned on this, but these kids were part of the new world he was shaping.
"Look, I know this is... a lot to take in," Ritsuka said slowly, his voice full of resolve. "But these kids are under our care now. We can't just leave them behind, and if I'm going to lead, I'll do whatever it takes."
Dr. Romani sighed dramatically. "Of course you would. Well, if you're serious about it, let me know when you've got the training plans ready, 'cause you're not getting off easy just because you've got children now. But as for me? I'm going to find something to help cope with the madness."
Kadoc, though still reluctant, gave Ritsuka a small nod. "Fine. Just... don't expect me to be any better at handling this than anyone else."
Ritsuka smiled at them, even as he knew the challenges ahead would be great. "We'll make it work, one way or another."
As the conversation died down, the room filled with the soft sounds of the kids laughing and playing, unaware of the chaos they had brought to Chaldea. For now, Ritsuka could only hope he was up for the monumental task ahead.
