The mont dea confird the contract, Haruki felt sothing flowing through his body.
[dea is added to the 'Potential Partners' list.]
dea stared wide-eyed at sothing behind him. He looked over his shoulder to find nothing.
"Is sothing wrong?"
dea shook her head with a tiny smile that tugged at Haruki's heart. "Nothing. You can call Caster."
"Alright."
"Would it be okay for to rest? We've to use any chance to save our magical energy."
"No problem."
Haruki got up and left the room. He went to the living room and took a seat on the couch. He was itching to check the Partners list.
"Partners list."
The list popped up instantly.

The system chose dea as a potential partner. He didn't mind having dea as a lover after he was done resurrecting his mother.
'One step at a ti. Let's start with earning her trust. Arch, you love to invade people's privacy, don't you?'
Answer: No. It's for your good. You can conquer your potential partners easily with this.
'Eleven out of hundred points. How much is that?'
Answer: 0-10 points Stranger, 11-20 points Acquaintance, 21-50 points Friends, 51-75 Loyal friends, 76-99 More than a friend, less than a lover, 100 and above Lover.
'Acquaintance is not bad.'
Haruki compared her stats to the servant's stats he recalled. Artoria had an A-Rank in almost all paraters, showing how powerful of a servant she was. dea's skills also weren't that overwhelming. He had to work hard to compensate for her weaknesses, starting with summoning the Assassin Class Servant before soone else does it. Especially Zouken, the old ancestor of the Matou Clan. That old mage will ruin everything if he summons Hassan of the Cursed Arm. He'd rather not fight soone who could crush his heart without properly fighting him.
This war was certainly going to be a hell of a battle.
"Mom, just you wait. I'll have you by my side, or I'll die trying."
A chilly wind brushed past his face. For a mont, he thought it was his mother, who did this to encourage him. He slapped his cheeks to shake off the depression.
'What about my magic circuits?'
They were essential in casting any kind of spell. Having this much mana would be a waste without them.
Answer: A dragon exerts its dominance on the mana itself to cast spells. You don't need magic circuits for that.
This goddess might be into BDSM. Thinking, Haruki chuckled.
'I'll think after eating sothing.'
Though he could cook edible als, letting dea eat it might be a bit cruel. He decided to buy sothing from the restaurant before Sakura arrived and insisted on cooking.
He knocked on his room's door. "Caster, I'm going out. Can you look after ho?"
"Master, wait. I'm coming," she said and snappily slid the door.
"You don't need to."
"You are not going without . Your magical energy is hardly concealed. It will give your position to others Masters. I can hide it and protect you."
She remained firm, unwilling to back out.
"Alright," he consented. She will certainly help if the ghost strikes again.
She suddenly vanished. Haruki could still sense her presence around him.
"Master, this is my spiritual form. The magic consumption is reduced but my senses are fairly limited."
"Just co in your physical form. I an, it would be better to experience this new century through your eyes. I have plenty of magical energy to spare."
"Master, I can't."
This stubborn woman was probably having thoughts like 'I don't want to trouble him' or 'He can't be serious about bringing with him.' Haruki was fairly assured of this.
Haruki rubbed the back of his neck. "Sheesh. What are you hesitating for? It's not like soone will identify you after you cover your ears."
"..."
He let out a sigh at her silence. It felt awkward to be the only one talking in a conversation. But he had to persist and earn her trust. They will both die if none of them trusted each other in this war.
'Arch, am I doing this wrong?'
[Answer: No it's vital to trust your allies in a war.]
This goddess was so kind.
"...Master, my clothes aren't suited for this city."
The minor achievent of persuading the stubborn woman brought a smile to his face.
"You can try my mother's clothes."
dea was slim and petite compared to his mother. A cold wind touched the back of his neck, a shiver running down his spine.
"Master?"
"Follow ."
He headed to his mother's room. The pale pink walls with white furniture made the room elegant and girly at the sa ti. He opened the cupboard and shuffled through the dresses.
dea materialized beside him and curiously looked at the clothes. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she stretched her finger. "Master, does that chest belong to you?"
He followed her finger to a wooden chest lying on the shelf. It also had a giant keyhole like those classic treasure chests.
dea grabbed the box with both arms. "It has an enchantnt on it."
"Enchantnt? ...Mom was a Magus?" He shook his head. "That's impossible."
dea flipped the chest and stared at the small square cutout with delicate text, her blue eyes shimring with mild amusent. "It is an intricate blood identification-type spell. I can crack it through brute force. Master?"
"Is there no other option?"
"Try dripping your blood on this area. It should unlock if she left it as your inheritance."
He needed to confirm the new theory shoved in his face. Taking a needle from his mother's sewing set in the drawer, he pricked his finger. He touched the designated area and waited.
Click! The chest's lid loosened. Haruki opened the chest. The contents were enough to make a grown man like him blush.
'Why is she collecting my sleeping photos?'
dea picked the photos and shuffled through them. He even found a recent one where he was sleeping entirely naked in his room.
'What the hell, Mom!'
dea silently put the photos aside as if being considerate of his dignity. He picked up the white envelope left in the chest and tore the seal. He pulled the letter from inside and read it.
{Haru dear. If you're reading this letter, that ans I have died or gone missing...
I wanted to say this line from my twenties!
Sorry for getting distracted.}
'Haru that's the nickna she chose for . Can't believe my airhead mom wrote this letter.'
Shaking his head, he continued reading.
{Drop so of your blood inside the chest Even after I swear to protect Haru, I'm asking him to spill blood. I'm the worst kind of mother.}
"That's not true," he muttered, despite knowing she wasn't here.
He pricked the sa wound on his finger and dripped the blood in the chest. Shiiing! The wooden base split, revealing an earth-like orb. On closer inspection, the drawing on it seed to be a perfect imitation of a globe. Such attention to detail made it an exotic item.
"Caster, is this a magic artifact?"
"I don't feel any magical energy from this."
Haruki returned to the letter for any clues.
{You see that little earth. That could be the reason... I died.}
His mind blanked out.
