Shaka said something that put Yuta at ease.
With Shaka's assurance, Yuuta and Rikka also left to continue their adventure. They were only temporarily nearby when Hitomi Mishima called them to help, as they still had spoils to deal with.
Shaka didn't disturb their game, but Shichimiya ran over and nudged Shaka's nose:
"Don't do anything to those three beautiful girls. If the competition increases, even demon kings and angels won't be able to handle it. Hehe."
Xia Jia rolled her eyes: "I'm not that much of a beast."
Dekomori complained: "Yuki is only 12 years old, and you still went and killed her! Old Natsume is too filthy!"
Xia Jia cursed, "We have nothing to hide, it's just a normal relationship."
Xia Jia and Yuki have been dating for a month. At most, they hold hands, help each other with homework, go shopping and eat snacks, just like an ordinary student couple.
Shaka's desire to build a harem wasn't driven by lust; she simply wanted companionship. Her longing for family outweighed any adolescent turmoil.
He firmly believes that companionship is the most enduring expression of love.
No matter what happened, he was always by everyone's side. This is why Black Cat and the others, even though they knew Shaka had bad intentions, didn't feel any resentment towards him.
It's easy to imagine that someone as proud as Kasumigaoka Utaha and as intelligent as Makise Kurisu would not easily accept that their partner has multiple partners.
It was only after they were by Xia Jia's side that they witnessed his repeated dedication and rescues, which is why they were attracted by his spirit and couldn't bear to let go.
In Yuki's words: Kakashi has been my hero since he was a child, and everyone's hero.
Outside the door, Yuuta was still arguing with Rikka when he saw Shaka come out, and suddenly remembered something and said:
"Speaking of which, it seems that Mr. Kazuma doesn't transform into spirit particles after falling into a coma? Is there a bug in the system?"
Xia Jia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized:
“Oh, Kazuma, he doesn’t have a helmet to help him, so we can’t detect his mental fluctuations, and he doesn’t have any device to forcibly disconnect magic.”
"So, there's nothing we can do about it. What can we do when he's in another world?"
Rikka's eyes lit up: "Another world? A new singularity!"
Tushouwakuwaku: "Master! Thunder Hammer Master, be ready to go to war at any time!"
Xia Jia scratched his head: "It's not open over there yet. I've already started developing it, it shouldn't take long."
The four of them left with high expectations.
……
Shaga returned to the workshop and saw that Emma had already sat up in bed.
"Oh. You're awake."
Emma suddenly hugged herself, asking nervously, "Who...who are you?"
Xia Jia smiled, sat down in the chair in front of the workbench, and casually said, "Instead of this, take a look at your companions first. They are much more seriously injured than you. Tsk tsk, fractures all over their bodies. I can only say, no wonder they are level 5. A casual blow almost killed them."
Emma was stunned for a moment, then immediately checked her companion's body and found that the wounds were serious, but after they were treated, she was relieved.
After calming down, Emma realized what was happening and immediately bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle to express her gratitude.
"Thank you so much. Please tell me your name. I will do my best to repay your kindness in the future."
Shaka smiled, tossed the small parts she had casually made into a basket to the side, and turned to give Emma a gentle smile:
“We are the Astrea Familia. If you want to thank someone, thank Hitomi, she's the one who informed us.”
Chapter 337 Dear Blossom
After Emma briefly introduced herself to Shaga, the two left the workshop and arrived at the hall of the Stardust Mansion.
Shaga brought over some snacks and drinks, sat down opposite Emma, and asked:
"So, what is the reason that the Ishtar Familia is targeting you?"
He shrugged and said, "Sorry, although I don't think much of Goddess Ishtar's personality, ordinary adventurers are customers to them if there isn't enough profit. So hunting adventurers is obviously a low-profit activity."
Emma speared a piece of cake with her fork and swallowed it, her eyes lighting up for a moment. Upon hearing Shaka's question, she thought for a moment and then confessed:
"To be honest, it's my fault. Because I don't understand the effects of my own skills, I subconsciously ask anyone who might be able to answer me."
"Perhaps it was because Goddess Ishtar guessed the effect of my skill that she set her sights on me."
"Asking about the skill's effects?" Shaja repeated Emma's question, inwardly cursing:
Girl, how unguarded are you? I even tried to hide my level from the guild, and you still went around telling everyone?
Shaga couldn't help but remind her, "Didn't your main god tell you that information about your clan needs to be kept secret?"
Emma scratched her head and stuck out her tongue sheepishly: "Hey, I was thinking that if a skill can't be activated, it's the same as not existing, right? If someone can let me know the effect of the skill, that's better than not having one at all."
"Besides, a poor and destitute family like ours wouldn't attract any attention, right? Who knew..."
Shaga rolled her eyes: "Who knew Ishtar would be so shameless, huh?"
If it were three years later, perhaps Ishtar would have toned it down a bit, but right now, the city is only recovering from the devastation. Four years ago, there was the Seven Days of Death; three years ago, there was the 27th floor of demons; and two years ago, the Astrea Familia was wiped out.
In the city, the only ones who can take action against Ishtar are Freya, Loki, and Ganesha. As a perennial fourth-ranked player, she's also gained a cheat-like upgrade, coupled with the machinations of the Dark Faction and the covert support of the Kali Familia. What is Ishtar supposed to do?
At this point, anyone targeted by Ishtar is unlikely to have a good ending.
Emma lowered her head in shame upon hearing Shaka's words.
Shaga sighed and asked, "So, what are your skills? They must be quite remarkable to warrant Ishtar's attention."
Emma gave Shaga a wary look.
"Why are you looking at me like that? You won't start to be wary of me when things get serious, will you?"
"No, it's not..."
Emma blushed and lowered her head, playing with her fingers: "My skill is [Dear Blossom], the effect seems to be a rank sublimation. After activation, the ability value will increase many times over."
"The specific description is: When certain conditions are met, you can sing a fantasy song with the benefactor. It hadn't been activated before, but today it took effect when my companion was in danger."
"I easily managed to fight Samira at level 2 without being at a disadvantage."
Shaka stroked his chin, his eyes flickering with uncertainty:
"Dear Blossoms? Fantasy Songs... plus ability enhancements."
He opened his mouth, looking at Emma in disbelief: "Why do I feel like I've seen this skill before?"
Shaga's first thought was his skill, [Wings of Justice].
In terms of outward appearance, it is also a promotion in rank.
The so-called "love blossoming" can be understood as the blossoming and bearing of fruit when the level of affection reaches a certain point, and the effect...
"Gathering the strength of the entire group for a grand chorus, which is basically raising a father?"
Shaga's inexplicable train of thought surprised Emma: "Do you know how to use my skill?"
Shaka's gaze grew increasingly strange:
"I know about the effect, but you just said that your clan only has three level 1 D-rank members, right? Even so, your stats have skyrocketed to the upper level 2?"
Emma nodded: "That's how it is..."
"Holy crap, you're cheating! How can you have such an outrageous ability!"
Xia Jia was completely stunned. If Xia Jia found it outrageous, then it truly was outrageous.
The skill 【Dear Bloom】is indeed as Shaka imagined, sharing 100% of its ability value with all members who meet the skill requirements.
In other words, if this guy joins the Loki Familia and meets the conditions, he can instantly combine the three giants and directly become the strongest in the city.
"My skill level is only 50% at most."
That also requires a very demanding level of favorability. It's worth mentioning that Yuki, who currently has the highest favorability rating in Shaka, is only 30+, not even reaching 40%, and most ordinary members only have around 10% (respect).
So, are there any limitations to such a powerful skill?
Emma seemed to have overheard some incredible secret, and asked with blinking eyes:
"Does Commander Xia have similar skills to mine?"
Xia Jia sighed: "Now that you've heard it, there's no need to hide it. I do have a skill similar to yours. The performance is also at the rank sublimation level."
Emma's eyes sparkled: "Then, Commander Xia, can you answer my question? How can I reliably trigger the skill effect?"
Xia Jia picked up her cup, took a sip of cola, and asked, "That depends on what happened when you activated your ability?"
Emma tapped her chin with her finger as she recalled:
"I used magic with Mr. Zhen before to steal Miu's panties..."
Xia Jia choked, spilling cola all over the floor: "Cough cough, is this the kind of explosive scene we're starting off with?"
Emma nodded: "I was so angry at the time, I was determined to kill that bastard who defiled me!"
Xia Jia snapped his fingers and used a spatial portal to move the water stains away.
"continue……"
Emma recalled the situation at the time and said:
"I didn't think too much at the time and kicked the monster to death with one kick. After that... my stats changed a second time when the Ishtar Familia appeared. I thought about staying to help Shiro and Myo buy some time, but they wanted to stay and fight together. I followed my heart, and my stats seemed to rise again."
