818: That Chaldea Member from the Uchiha Clan

Itachi's childhood friend, who he thought had died, suddenly came back.

"I went missing, I went missing, Itachi," she explained.

Uchiha Haru was from Konoha Village. Her current place of residence, or affiliation, was Chaldea.

The reason for her disappearance... was unknown.

Now she was back in Konoha, but had absolutely no intention of returning for good.

As for her career, she was more interested in becoming a mage than a ninja.

Although she'd lost the eyes that were the most important thing to the Uchiha, she had very little chakra to begin with...

...But she didn't think there was any problem. At the moment, she was holed up in the Uchiha compound with her Servants, freeloading and waiting to die.

.

So when did Itachi realize something was wrong?

.

"Huh? My engagement to Itachi? Whatever, it's fine~"

Haru rubbed the red tattoo on her hand and said, "People in Chaldea are very open-minded. I don't care if Itachi is a human, a god, or anything else."

"Haru, that's not what I meant. Besides, I couldn't possibly be anything other than human." Itachi had somehow grown used to his childhood friend's nonsense, and answered helplessly.

Now it was Haru's turn to look troubled. She tilted her head, her tone as innocent as ever. "Huh? Then what's bothering you, Itachi? That plan to destroy the Uchiha over in Konoha?"

"Well, if that kind of thing is worrying you, leave it to me. I'll do my best to wipe out the Uchiha or destroy Konoha, whichever you like."

"Ninja bodies should make pretty good materials, too. That's a new research topic. What a shame I studied celestial-body magecraft, just like my teacher..."

"!!!"

Haru was, at her core, a thoroughly nasty person.

At any rate, Itachi's most urgent task was to get his childhood friend, who'd somehow gone astray, back on the path to becoming a normal person.

.

"Haru, what do you want to do now?"

"First, let's seize the throne and become an absolutely splendid daimyo."

Uchiha Haru smiled brightly as she followed the blond man, who was technically her senior disciple.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: What exactly is so splendid about that? Damn it, give me back my adorable junior!

1. Chaldea and Team A will have a significant role in the story. Everyone in Chaldea comes back to life except Lev (he doesn't need to be revived, does he?) and the Beasts.

2. The pairing is Itachi. A delicious, if abnormal, childhood-friends romance (is this really a comedy?). In short, it's a love story about two people healing each other (hey).

3. The heroine came to Chaldea at age seven, then joined Team A as an unofficial member. Everyone in Team A, as well as Gudao and Mash, are basically elders to her. She's supposedly the former director's student, but in reality Team Captain raised her. She has her own Servants.

4. At heart, the heroine is a fairly typical, or perhaps twisted, traditional mage. She learned how to love from the Beast of Humanity. In short, the only way to heal a twisted person is to let them witness something even more twisted.

5. Blind in the early story ✓ Frail ✓ But actually weak ❌

This is really a story about everyone in Chaldea joining their junior and her fiance's family to build a new countryside community, making dumplings and farming (really?)
