After dinner, outside the God's Room.
After greeting Ais, who had just come out, Shirou was urged inside by Loki.
"I heard, you know, Shirou. You really stole the show during this expedition!"
"I just did my best."
Sitting on a chair in front of Loki, Shirou took off his upper garment and chatted with Loki, facing the door.
"Hehehe! So stealing the hearts of our Familia girls was also 'doing your best'?"
Feeling a finger that had hardened poke his back, Shirou shivered, then helplessly said, "Those were all accidents!"
After hearing Shirou's answer, Loki didn't reply but began to manipulate the Falna on Shirou's back.
Just like that, a silent atmosphere filled the God's Room.
"As expected of you, this growth rate is truly astonishing."
Looking at Shirou's updated ability values, Loki couldn't help but click her tongue. As she began to speak, Shirou's previously tense mood instantly relaxed. Noticing Shirou's unusual reaction, Loki slapped him hard on the back, annoyed.
"You don't think I'm the kind of person who gets mad for no reason just because someone else likes you, do you?"
After asking back, Loki saw Shirou's look of slight concern, which made her laugh even more.
"Although I like these children, if they truly love each other, I won't stop them. However, if you really have someone you like, you're not allowed to abandon them!"
"Don't worry, I don't have any plans to settle down for now."
Putting his clothes back on, Shirou's mood had completely relaxed. He was very afraid of being targeted by Loki because of such things, but Loki was surprisingly generous. As expected, she was still a relatively reliable goddess.
"No plans to settle down yet, huh?"
Seeing that Shirou had no intentions toward Ais or Lefiya, Loki's mind couldn't help but become active.
"Since you're so popular with girls, Shirou, you should definitely trick a few more girls into joining us in the future, after all, your harem is my harem!"
Alright, I take back what I just said. This person is indeed very unreliable! Seeing Shirou glare at her angrily, Loki couldn't help but chuckle, then quickly handed the updated ability values to Shirou.
Name: Shirou Emiya
Level: LV.3
Abilities:
Strength: SS1067
Endurance: S985
Dexterity: SS1032
Agility: S963
Magic: SSS1199
Development Abilities:
Forging: G
Sorcery: I
Magic: Unlimited Blade Works
Skills: Sharpening, Clairvoyance, Mind's Eye (True), Magic Resistance, Independent Action
Looking at the ability values in his hand, Shirou couldn't help but stroke his chin, contemplating. Aside from the basic ability values, no new skills or magic had appeared. However, after this expedition, all his basic ability values were already close to their limit. His Magic, due to his frequent use of magic, had already reached the SSS limit. Strength and Dexterity had also reached SS, close to their limit, due to constantly drawing his bow and dodging enemy attacks in close combat. Even the least used Endurance and Agility had reached S. It would probably take about another week for all his stats to reach their limit.
"I remember your great feat has already been surpassed, Shirou, which means you'll be LV.4 very soon, right? In that case, LV.5 probably isn't far either!"
Thinking of this, Loki's mood brightened again. She knew that it wouldn't be long before her Familia would have a powerful individual standing at the pinnacle of Orario. Remembering the two LV.8s from the Zeus Familia and the one LV.9 from the Hera Familia, Loki felt that Shirou would soon catch up to them. At that time, her Loki Familia would be the strongest Familia in Orario. Hehehe! At that time, she would definitely be able to attract even more beautiful girls to her Familia.
Walking out of Loki's God's Room, Shirou saw Ais and Lefiya waiting outside.
"What are you two doing here? Is Lefiya going to update her abilities?"
"Actually, I just came to accompany Ais!"
Hearing her brother Shirou's question, Lefiya immediately explained. She actually didn't want to come so early, but since Ais asked at dinner if she wanted to come, she came.
"Is that so? Then hurry in!"
Shirou had seen Lefiya standing aside when he first arrived, and he was about to greet her, but then Loki suddenly called him in.
"Good luck!"
"Yes!"
Glancing at Lefiya, who hurried into the God's Room, Shirou and Ais moved to the side, as the two of them were simply too conspicuous. Seeing Ais's somewhat troubled expression, as her brother, he naturally had to share her burden. So, Shirou asked, "What's wrong? Are you still sad about that boy running away?"
"No, I'm just thinking about whether to level up or continue training!" Saying this, Ais handed the paper in her hand to Shirou.
Name: Ais Wallenstein
Level: LV.5
Abilities:
Strength: B785
Endurance: B747
Dexterity: S925
Agility: S922
Magic: S987
Development Abilities:
Human: G
Abnormal Resistance: G
Swordsman: I
Magic: Ariel
Skills: Princess of Vengeance
Looking at Ais's stats, Shirou was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected the Self-Restriction Training Method to be so effective for Ais. According to his memory, Ais's Strength and Endurance at this point should have been D, and her remaining Dexterity, Agility, and Magic should all have been A. But now they were two B's and three S's. She could already level up! Feeling Shirou's puzzled gaze, Ais calmly said, "Brother's method is very good. My various stats have improved significantly."
"So now I'm wondering whether to level up directly or continue increasing my basic stats."
So that's it!
Shirou suddenly understood. Wasn't this the same idea as his own? That is, to raise basic stats to the limit before leveling up. In that case, he would slowly become stronger than adventurers of the same level. After all, the increase brought by each level up was based on one's previous stats. But most people wouldn't do this, because they didn't have enough potential and patience to raise all their stats to the limit. Therefore, they would level up when their basic stats could no longer be increased. The reason Ais thought this way was also because her basic stats had increased very rapidly recently.
Looking at Ais, who had a troubled expression, Shirou reached out and stroked her head, asking with a smile.
"Is Ais's goal imminent?"
"No, it's still far away."
"Then does Ais have any opponent she wants to immediately defeat after leveling up?"
"No, there's no such existence."
"Then what are you in such a hurry for?"
"..."
Yes, even if she became LV.6 now, she would still be far from her goal. It would be better to accumulate slowly.
"I understand!"
Looking at Ais, whose expression had returned to calm, Shirou also smiled and said, "It's good that you understand!" Feeling the wonderful sensation of his palm on Ais's hair, just as Shirou was about to say something, a gasp of surprise suddenly came from the God's Room.
"Lefiya reached LV.4!"
