As Ritsuka was in his room with Morgan and Kama, as Ritsuka then spoke
Ritsuka spoke to the system. "Chamuel did I get any new skill from Olga and Ophelia"
The system the spoke
[ Yes host but they didn't give much, do to them not being servent like Mash and Morgan, or a Goddess like Creator (Kama) ]
Ritsuka then looked curious. "What did I get, then?"
The system responded.
[ From Olga: You gained "Leadership Insight" - increases your ability to read situations and make tactical decisions under pressure. From Ophelia: You gained "Mystic Eye Focus" - improves the effectiveness of your Mystic Eyes for a short period when activated. ]
Ritsuka sighed. "Well, it's something at least."
Morgan then smirked. "I'd say it's enough to handle any more surprises from Olga."
Kama grinned. "You might need it, especially with the way she's been acting lately."
Morgan then looked at Ritsuka. "What Mystuc eye or eyes do you have"
Ritsuka close and opened his eyes as it was a golden yellow. "I got from the system if kinda of one my skill, it is called Mystic eyes of Pereception"
Morgan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Mystic Eyes of Perception? What do they do exactly?"
Ritsuka explained, "They allow me to see the flow of magical energy and detect hidden truths. It's helpful for figuring out enemies' weaknesses or spotting traps."
Kama leaned in, a playful glint in her eyes. "So, you can see through my tricks, huh? Guess I'll have to be more creative."
Ritsuka chuckled. "Or just tone it down a bit, maybe?"
Morgan smirked. "No way. The chaos is part of the fun."
Kama suddenly pouted. "You're both no fun! What about my pranks?"
Ritsuka laughed. "We appreciate your creativity, but maybe keep it to a minimum when we're out on missions?"
Just then, Mash knocked and entered the room. "Sorry to interrupt, but there's a meeting in the common area. Something about new assignments."
Ritsuka sighed, standing up. "Alright, let's go. More surprises await, I guess."
As they walked out, Morgan whispered to Kama, "Let's see if we can sneak in a prank or two during the meeting."
Kama's eyes lit up. "Now that's the spirit!"
Ritsuka just patted her head. "As much as I like your pranks, I think it is time you go invisible"
Kama laughed at that, as she goes Invisible as Ritsuka said, as they walked.
As Kama disappeared with a playful giggle, Ritsuka could still feel her presence lingering near him. He shook his head with a smile and continued walking down the hall with Morgan and Mash.
Mash looked at Ritsuka curiously. "You're really used to handling Kama now, huh? Not everyone can keep up with her antics."
Ritsuka shrugged, a smirk playing on his lips. "You learn to adapt. Plus, her pranks keep things... interesting."
Morgan nodded in agreement. "She certainly brings a unique energy to our group, but we can't let our guard down. With her, something unexpected is always around the corner."
As they approached the common area, Ritsuka could feel the playful tug of invisible hands on his sleeve—Kama, no doubt, trying to remind him she was still around. He whispered softly, "Kama, don't push it."
Kama's voice echoed mischievously in his ear. "I wouldn't dream of it."
When they entered the room, Ritsuka noticed that everyone was already gathered, including Romani, Da Vinci, Kirschtaria, and a few others. Olga was there too, standing awkwardly at the back, stealing occasional glances at Ritsuka.
Ritsuka took a seat, leaning back casually as Mash sat beside him. Morgan stood near the back, her arms crossed, observing the room carefully.
Dr. Romani cleared his throat, starting the meeting. "Alright everyone, we have a few new assignments to go over, but first, we need to discuss—"
Suddenly, the lights flickered, and holographic confetti rained down from the ceiling, accompanied by cheerful music. Ritsuka immediately recognized the source of the prank.
"Kama..." he muttered under his breath, suppressing a laugh.
Romani blinked in confusion as Da Vinci chuckled. "Well, it seems someone has already started the festivities."
Ritsuka subtly pinched the air beside him, feeling a soft poke back as Kama teased, "You said to keep it invisible, didn't you?"
Ritsuka sighed but couldn't help smiling. This was his life now—filled with pranks, missions, and an invisible goddess who loved to cause chaos. And honestly, he wouldn't have it any other way.
As the holographic confetti continued to fall, Ritsuka mentally sighed. Kama, what did I say about pranks during meetings?
In his head, Kama's voice echoed sweetly, You told me to be invisible, not to stop having fun. Besides, you love it when I add a little excitement to these boring gatherings.
Yeah, but now everyone's looking at me like I caused this, Ritsuka replied, glancing at Romani and Da Vinci, who were still staring at the confetti in bewilderment. He mentally nudged her, Let's dial it down a bit.
Fine, fine, Kama conceded, her playful tone making it clear she wasn't actually sorry.
Morgan, standing stoically by the wall, raised an eyebrow at Ritsuka but said nothing. She knew all too well who was behind the sudden shower of holographic glitter and didn't bother to interfere. Meanwhile, Mash had her hand over her mouth, trying to hide a giggle.
Kadoc, who was sitting across from Ritsuka, leaned forward with a smirk. "Ritsuka, how many times do I have to tell you—keep your goddess on a tighter leash?"
Ritsuka shot him a sideways glance, replying mentally to both Kadoc and Kama, Easier said than done.
Anastasia, sitting next to Kadoc, leaned in with her typical ice-cold demeanor, though her eyes sparkled with humor. "Kama certainly knows how to make her presence felt, even when she's invisible."
And that's why I'm the best, Kama said smugly in Ritsuka's mind, her invisible presence hovering close to him, clearly pleased with herself.
Ophelia, seated quietly near the back, gave a small smile, her Mystic Eye Scanning faintly glowing as she kept a discreet watch on Ritsuka's interactions with Kama. Despite her calm exterior, she still couldn't quite get used to the fact that only a few of them could even sense Kama when she went invisible.
Meanwhile, Olga, still flustered from the recent confession debacle, seemed oblivious to the prank. She stared at Ritsuka with a mix of determination and embarrassment, clearly trying to compose herself for whatever came next.
Romani cleared his throat again, trying to regain control of the situation. "Alright, alright, enough distractions. Let's focus. We have an upcoming singularity to prepare for, and I need everyone's attention on this." He cast a suspicious glance at Ritsuka, but when he saw the young man's innocent expression, he sighed and decided to let it go.
Da Vinci, ever the playful one, winked at Ritsuka. "At least this meeting has a little flair now. I don't mind it. In fact, we could use more of Ritsuka's fun in these stuffy discussions."
See? Da Vinci approves. Maybe I should stick around more often, Kama teased, her voice lilting with amusement in Ritsuka's head.
Da Vinci approves of chaos. That's not a good argument, Ritsuka replied mentally, shaking his head slightly.
As Romani began outlining the next mission, Ritsuka's attention briefly drifted. His Mystic Eyes of Perception were still new to him, and though they were immensely useful, they tended to activate even when he wasn't consciously trying to use them. Looking around the room, he could almost sense everyone's emotions, their intentions—it was like a flood of information, though not overwhelming enough to distract him entirely.
Morgan, ever perceptive, noticed his subtle shift and whispered quietly, "Your eyes again?"
Ritsuka nodded slightly. "Yeah, they keep turning on by themselves. It's like the system upgraded my awareness without asking first."
Morgan's eyes softened for a moment, showing a rare moment of understanding. "You'll adjust. You always do."
Kama certainly hasn't made adjusting easy, Ritsuka thought wryly, feeling a light flick on his forehead from the invisible goddess.
Hey, don't blame me for your power surges, Kama replied mentally, her tone still full of playful mischief. I only enhance your life. You should thank me.
Thanks, Kama. Really, Ritsuka replied sarcastically, though there was a hint of warmth behind his words. Despite everything, she did make things more interesting.
Back at the meeting, Romani had finally wrapped up the mission briefing. "Okay, now that everything's clear, we'll need you all on standby. Ritsuka, Mash, and Ophelia, you three are up for this mission."
Ritsuka gave a sharp nod. "Understood."
As they all stood to leave, Olga nervously approached Ritsuka. Her eyes darted around the room as she clearly fought to gather her courage. "R-Ritsuka, about the date…"
Before she could finish, Kama's voice rang playfully in Ritsuka's head, Here it comes.
Ritsuka turned to Olga, smiling warmly. "Don't worry about it, Olga. We'll make it work."
Olga's blush deepened, but she managed a nod. "R-right. I'll… see you later."
As she hurried off, Ophelia walked up beside Ritsuka, giving him a knowing glance. "You sure know how to stir things up."
Ritsuka sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I didn't even do anything."
Morgan joined them, her arms crossed. "You didn't need to. Apparently, just existing is enough."
That's because you're the main character in every way that matters, Kama teased mentally, clearly enjoying the spectacle. I wouldn't have picked you otherwise.
Ritsuka mentally rolled his eyes. Thanks for the reminder, Kama.
As they all made their way out of the briefing room, Ritsuka couldn't help but think about what lay ahead—missions, new challenges, and, of course, the inevitable chaos that Kama would bring into his life at every opportunity. But with Mash, Ophelia, Morgan, and the rest of his companions by his side, he was ready for whatever came next, even if it involved navigating awkward dates or stopping world-ending threats.
At least it'll never be boring, he thought, with a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
After they returned to there room, he just sat down on his bed, as Both Kama and Morgan just went to his side, as Then Kama grabbed his face and kissed him, as Ritsuka just enjoyed it, as then Morgan did thr same
Ritsuka looked at his wife's before he spoke. "Now with that done, I have something to say".
Kama looked at him. "Oh what is it dear"
Ritsuka just looked at her. "When I used my Mystic eyes, when I was looking at everyone my eyes landed on Lev and I saw something, Something very dark and very ancient and also a lot of darkness".
As Ritsuka spoke, the room seemed to still, and both Morgan and Kama turned serious at once.
Kama, with her playful demeanor gone for the moment, furrowed her brow. "Lev…? Are you saying there's something deeper to him? What did you see exactly?"
Ritsuka closed his eyes, recalling the moment. "When I glanced at him with my Mystic Eyes, I didn't just see Lev as he is now. I saw something lurking beneath, something ancient, like a presence or force that's older than anything we've encountered so far. It wasn't just a shadow—it was… wrong, twisted. And it felt like it was waiting."
Morgan's eyes narrowed as she processed the information. "Lev is one of Chaldea's top mages, but we've always known there was something off about him. You think this darkness is influencing him or controlling him?"
Ritsuka nodded. "I can't say for sure yet. But it didn't feel like the Lev we know. It felt like something… far more dangerous. I need to be cautious around him, and we need to investigate this further before anything happens."
Kama, leaning in closer to him, sighed. "And here I thought we'd have a quiet evening. Leave it to you to uncover some ancient darkness. You always find trouble, don't you?"
Ritsuka chuckled softly. "I don't exactly go looking for it. It just finds me."
Morgan crossed her arms, her expression deadly serious. "If Lev is compromised by something dark and ancient, then we have to act before it can harm Chaldea. I've encountered dark forces before, but something ancient… that's concerning."
Kama's golden eyes gleamed with interest. "You know, dear, I love a good mystery as much as the next goddess, but ancient forces? That's something even I don't deal with lightly. Should we confront him, or would that risk tipping him off?"
Ritsuka thought for a moment, weighing their options. "We can't confront him directly—not until we know more. If whatever is controlling Lev becomes aware that we're onto it, it might move faster, and we'll lose any chance to understand what's going on."
Morgan nodded in agreement. "Then we observe. Keep your Mystic Eyes sharp. If Lev makes any suspicious moves, we strike."
Kama leaned back slightly, her playful nature returning. "Well, looks like things are going to get interesting again. I'll stay by your side, Ritsuka, in case that darkness tries anything funny."
Ritsuka smiled at both of them, feeling reassured by their presence. "Thanks. For now, let's keep this between us. If Lev really is being influenced, we can't afford for anyone else to know until we've got proof."
Morgan's eyes softened for a moment, and she nodded. "We'll handle this together."
Kama leaned closer to Ritsuka again, her voice low and teasing. "But before we dive back into this dark mystery, maybe we can enjoy some time to ourselves. You always get so serious when work comes up."
Ritsuka laughed softly. "I guess I do. Alright, let's just relax for now. We've got time to figure out what's going on with Lev."
And with that, the tension in the room lightened, though the shadow of what Ritsuka had seen still lingered at the back of his mind. Whatever ancient darkness he had glimpsed was waiting, and he would need all the help he could get to confront it when the time came. But for now, with Kama and Morgan by his side, he allowed himself to enjoy the quiet moment, knowing that soon enough, their peace would be shattered by the storm that was to come.
To be continued
Hope people like this Ch and Give me power stones
Ritsuka was sleeping, as he was in was in dream world, as he saw Kama, she was smriking, but Ritsuka just hugged her and holded her like she was going to desiper, Kama was taken back and a bit shocked on her Husband was acting like this, she was going to will give him a wet dream and have him relax but this was not something she expects, but she just hugged him back
Kama just looked at Ritsuka. "What is wrong dear".
Ritsuka just looked at her. "I am scared"
Kama's expression softened as she held Ritsuka closer. "Scared? Of what?"
Ritsuka sighed, his voice barely above a whisper. "Of failing... of not being able to protect everyone. Things are getting worse, and I feel like I'm not enough."
Kama gently lifted his chin, forcing him to meet her gaze. "You're not alone, Ritsuka. You have me, and you have all of us. You're stronger than you think."
He shook his head. "But what if it's not enough? What if I lose someone important? I can't bear that."
Kama felt a pang in her heart at his vulnerability. "You won't lose anyone. We're all in this together. I promise I'll always be by your side, no matter what happens."
Ritsuka's grip on her tightened, and he whispered, "I just don't want to let anyone down."
With a soft smile, Kama stroked his hair. "You already do so much for everyone. It's okay to lean on us sometimes. You don't have to carry this burden alone."
He took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of her presence. "I guess I just need to remember that."
Kama leaned in closer, her voice soothing. "Exactly. Just relax. I'll make sure you have the best dreams, and when you wake up, you'll be ready to face whatever comes next."
Ritsuka closed his eyes, comforted by her words. "Thanks, Kama. I don't know what I'd do without you."
As they shared a quiet moment, Kama chuckled softly. "You'd probably be lost in a sea of paperwork and endless coffee, knowing you."
Ritsuka laughed lightly, feeling the tension ease. "Yeah, probably. You really do know me well."
"Of course I do. Now let's enjoy this dream for a little longer."
Ritsuka looked at her. "But what I fail, what if I am not enough, what if the power I have not en-".
He was cut of my slap to the face by Kama, as the she opened the system screen for him, as she shows him all of his ability

Arrow of the Heart: This ability grants the user a bow to fire arrows imbued with Kama's fire-based powers. The arrows are limitless, but possessing the bow doesn't guarantee mastery of its use.
- Fire of the Heart: This power manifests as blue flames owned by Kama. The flames are weaker when used against those the user likes and cause no damage to loved ones. However, they deal extra damage—up to three times the usual amount—to those the user dislikes or hates. The concept may be confusing, but it's a unique aspect of the system.
- **Heartless Hole:** Born from the user's hatred, this ability allows the user to summon black, heart-shaped objects that inflict damage on targeted enemies. This power is straightforward and effective in combat.
- Authority of the Beast: This ability is partially obscured. The real name of this power remains hidden, with Kama playfully covering that part of the screen.
**Seduction Aura:** Emanates an irresistible charm, making the user more attractive and persuasive. Can be used to influence others' emotions and decisions.
**Charm of Lust:** Allows the user to evoke feelings of desire in others, either subtly or overtly. The intensity can be controlled, ranging from mild attraction to overwhelming lust.
**Emotional Manipulation:** Grants the user the ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of others, making them feel calm, excited, happy, or even fearful at will.
**Illusion Creation:** Enables the user to create realistic illusions that can deceive the senses, making others see, hear, or feel things that aren't really there.
**Love's Touch:** A healing ability that not only mends physical injuries but also soothes emotional pain, providing comfort and affection.
**Goddess's Blessing:** Temporarily boosts the user's or an ally's physical and magical abilities, making them stronger and more resilient in battle.

**Temptation's Whisper:** A mind-affecting ability that plants suggestions in others' minds, subtly guiding their thoughts and actions in the user's favor.
**Divine Presence:** This passive ability makes the user naturally more captivating and influential, especially in social situations. It also offers minor protection against harmful effects or curses.
**Lover's Bind:** A unique combat ability that binds an opponent in place with invisible, ethereal chains of energy, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.
Authority of the Beast (Nega-Desire): The ultimate and definitive infatuation skill, wielded by the Beast that embodies carnal desire. This power corrupts any being with desire, pushing them to the absolute limits of their love and passion. If all the desires and passions in the Universe were to be harnessed and granted with infinite love, it would be akin to dispelling the very concept of desire from the Universe itself.
- **Mana Burst**: The potential to enhance his physical abilities with a surge of magical energy was impressive. It wasn't just about raw power, but also the versatility it offered—being able to use that energy offensively or defensively would make him a more formidable fighter.
- **Shielder**: This was the most significant in terms of protection. Ritsuka could feel the depth of Mash's care in this ability. The idea that the shield's strength was tied to her affection for him made it even more meaningful. It wasn't just a tool; it was a manifestation of their bond.
- **Kouhai Love**: The system's mixed feelings about this skill made him grin. It was a bit embarrassing, but at the same time, it underscored the connection they had. Mash's love and devotion not only made her easier to please but also strengthened her resolve in battle, ensuring she could stand by his side no matter what.
**Enchanted Aura (Passive)**
- **Effect**: Creates an aura of enchantment that boosts the morale of allies and confounds enemies. Allies within the aura gain a 15% increase in attack power and a 10% increase in defense. Enemies within the aura have a 10% chance to be confused, lowering their accuracy and making them more vulnerable to critical hits. This passive also enhances Ritsuka's resistance to debuffs and status effects by 20%.
**[New Skill Acquired from Morgan: Mystical Confluence]**
**Mystical Confluence (Skill)**
- **Effect**: Channels the magical energies of the fae realm to heal and bolster allies. Restores 25% of the maximum HP to all allies and provides a 20% increase in NP generation rate for 3 turns. This skill also cleanses all negative status effects from the party and boosts their magical resistance by 15% for the duration.
King of the Fairy**
- **Effect**: Grants temporary access to Morgan Le Fay's magical abilities and knowledge for 30 seconds. This includes high-level fae magic, such as powerful enchantments and curses.
. The Holy Lance Rhongomynaid**
- **Effect**: Allows Ritsuka to summon Morgan's weapon, a black demonic spear resembling a halberd with an Excalibur-like blade. This weapon can be used to perform holy spells and unleashes a smaller version of Rhongomynaid's destructive power
**Harem King's Command:** This skill is about leadership, unity, and boosting your harem's strength through emotional bonds and trust. It's a skill that enhances your ability to protect, guide, and inspire your harem members, reinforcing their loyalty and affection for you. This is more about emotional resonance and building a stable, loving environment.
**Seduction Aura & Charm of Lust:** These skills, on the other hand, are more about enhancing attraction and allure. *Seduction Aura* subtly influences those around you, making them more susceptible to your charm and more likely to be drawn to you. *Charm of Lust* is a more direct and intense influence that stirs deep desires, often used in more intimate or intense situations.
"Leadership Insight" - increases your ability to read situations and make tactical decisions under pressure. From Ophelia: You gained "Mystic Eye Focus" -
Mystic Eye Focus" - improves the effectiveness of your Mystic Eyes for a short period when activated ]
Kama just looked at him loooked at him. "Now tell me what were you going to say"
Ritsuka took a moment, still processing the information Kama had shown him. He felt a mix of awe and reassurance, but the weight of his worries remained. "I was going to say that despite all these abilities, I still feel unprepared. What if something happens that I can't handle?"
Kama sighed softly, her eyes full of understanding. "Ritsuka, every hero feels that way. It's normal to doubt yourself, especially when you carry such a heavy burden. But look at what you've accomplished so far. You've faced countless challenges and always found a way through."
Ritsuka nodded, feeling a little more at ease. "I know, but sometimes it just feels overwhelming. What if I can't protect everyone? What if I let them down?"
Kama leaned in closer, her expression serious yet gentle. "You won't let us down. You're stronger than you realize. Plus, you have the Mystic Eyes of Perception. You can see things that others can't. Use that to your advantage."
Ritsuka's brow furrowed as he thought about her words. "You're right. I just need to trust in my abilities and my team. But still… it's hard not to worry."
Ritsuka took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of their support surrounding him. "Thanks, you both. I really needed this."
Kama smirked, a playful glint in her eye. "Now that you've had your pep talk, how about we put some of those skills to the test? I'm sure there's a training room around here somewhere."
Ritsuka chuckled, feeling lighter. "You know, that actually sounds like a good idea. Let's see what I can really do."
With renewed determination, Ritsuka nodded. "Alright, let's go!"
They made their way to the training area, the camaraderie between them palpable. As they prepared to spar and showcase their abilities, Ritsuka felt a surge of confidence. Maybe he wasn't alone in this after all.
Ritsuka then looked at Kama. "I just wondering, what if I fail no matter what"
Kama was going to speak but then in the dream, where only Kama ans Ritsuka were some one came, it was a girl she is a pretty young woman with hip-length brown hair that has a single hair strand hanging on the right side and light blue eyes. When she was younger, she wore a blue dress with a blue necklace, and a white belt on its front as well as white socks and black Mary Jane shoes.
The gril looked at him. "Alright stop being such a downer, you forced the other 99 host hand Ritsuka, what happens ot the boy we all meet".
Ritsuka blinked at he looked at him. "Wait hold on a minute, 99 host are you"
Kama just hugged the girl crying in joy like that of a Anime character. "Katarina I missed you"
Katarina just looked at them. "Hey big sis Kama"
Ritsuka just blinked. "Wait your the 99th host, but I thought you were just pink energy"
Katarina just looked at him and laughed. "Lol, did you think we would show you our real self the first time we meet or the other 98th host of the harem system".
Ritsuka's mind raced as he processed the new information. "So you're actually real? But I thought the previous hosts were just... abstract concepts or something."
Katarina smiled, a playful sparkle in her light blue eyes. "Nope! We're all very real, just kept hidden until the right moment. Each of us has our own experiences, and we're here to help guide you."
Kama released Katarina from the embrace, her joy evident. "I can't believe you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"
Ritsuka glanced between them, still a bit stunned. "So, what does this mean for me? How can you help?"
Katarina stepped closer, her expression turning serious. "You need to stop doubting yourself. You've already proven that you can rise above your fears. The other hosts believe in you, and so do I. Just like you forced our hands to show ourselves, you have the power to shape your own destiny."
Kama nodded vigorously. "You have an entire legacy behind you, Ritsuka. Embrace it! You're not just a host; you're the embodiment of all our hopes and dreams."
Ritsuka felt a swell of determination. "Okay, I get it. But it's hard to shake off the fear of failure."
Katarina tilted her head, her smile returning. "Then let's flip the script! Instead of thinking about failure, think about what happens if you succeed. All the lives you'll save, the bonds you'll strengthen. Focus on the positive!"
Ritsuka took a deep breath, imagining all the potential victories ahead. "You're right. I can't let my fear hold me back. I need to push forward."
Kama beamed at him, her confidence in him unwavering. "That's the spirit! We're here to back you up every step of the way."
"Plus," Katarina added, "you've got some pretty impressive skills at your disposal. Use them!"
Ritsuka felt a wave of gratitude wash over him. "Thanks, both of you. I really needed this reminder."
Katarina chuckled, her playful demeanor shining through. "Oh, we're just a little extra fun the system decided to include! Think of us as guides who can pop in when things get too serious. We've all got our own quirks and wisdom to share."
Kama raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "So you're telling me you and the other hosts are like... a backup team? Why didn't you make an appearance sooner?"
"Because," Katarina replied, her tone light, "we wanted to make sure you were really ready. We knew you had to face your fears on your own first. But once you proved yourself, we figured it was time to step in and offer support."
Ritsuka crossed his arms, still processing everything. "So all this time, you were just... watching?"
"Pretty much!" Katarina grinned. "And yeah, the prank we pulled was just a way to see how you'd react. You held up pretty well!"
Kama laughed, shaking her head. "You guys are something else. But what about the part where you're all part of the system? How does that work?"
Katarina leaned in closer, her expression shifting to something more serious. "The system adapted. After the initial hosts, it created a way for us to connect with you, offering you guidance without having to physically manifest. We're like echoes of the past, here to help you navigate your journey."
Ritsuka felt a mix of relief and excitement. "So I have this whole team behind me now? That's... actually pretty amazing."
"Exactly!" Katarina said, her eyes sparkling. "And we're all rooting for you. You've got this, Ritsuka."
"Just remember," Kama added, her voice soft but firm, "we're in this together. You're never alone in your struggles."
Ritsuka smiled, feeling a renewed sense of camaraderie and support. "Thank you, both of you. I won't let you down."
