The technique of Concurrent Chanting was extremely important for Shirou.
Facing powerful enemies, he often couldn't find an opportunity to smoothly activate Unlimited Blade Works.
Many times, he relied on enemies holding back or inadvertently helping him. For instance, Angelica and the arrogant Gilgamesh.
This was very unreliable. If he were to face close-combat masters like Karna or Heracles, he probably wouldn't even be able to activate Unlimited Blade Works.
Therefore, learning the Concurrent Chanting technique was absolutely essential for him.
Seeing Riveria so easily agree to his request, Shirou's heart was filled with gratitude. This was all a testament to her profound trust.
Just as he was about to continue expressing his gratitude to Riveria, a sudden call from outside interrupted his thoughts.

"Riveria, I'm back!"
"Where's Shirou? I picked a satisfying title for him!"
The voice arrived before the person even entered the room.
Concerning his own title, Shirou quickly went to meet her, asking somewhat excitedly,
"Loki-sama, what kind of title is it?"
Please don't be a really strange title. Even if it's a bit chuunibyo, I can accept it.
"Hehehe! How could there be a bad title with me around? Guess what, it's a title you're very familiar with."
"I'm familiar with it?"
Shirou looked at the smiling Loki with some confusion, then a flash of inspiration hit him.
"Is it 'Magic Sword Archer'?"
"Exactly!"
Seeing Shirou guess it, Loki no longer concealed it. Hands on her hips, she proudly recounted her achievements.
"I remember you were quite satisfied with this title, weren't you? So, after a fierce debate, I finally secured this title for you."
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."
Even if he wasn't satisfied, Shirou wouldn't say it. Besides, he was indeed quite content. Magic Sword Archer, though a bit chuunibyo, at least carried some of his Unlimited Blade flair. It was a decent pick among mediocre options.
"Good that you're satisfied. With me around, I won't let any members of our Familia get those strange titles."
Hearing Loki's conviction, Shirou felt a touch of emotion.
Although she was a pervert who loved beautiful girls and often acted unprofessionally, when it came to crucial moments, she was incredibly reliable.
Indeed, joining the Loki Familia was absolutely the right decision.

Shirou's life then became extremely routine.
Every day, he would explore the Dungeon with Lefiya, fighting and training to his heart's content.
And after returning to the Loki Familia, he would learn the technique of Concurrent Chanting from Riveria.
As an essential skill for mages, the core of concurrent chanting was a calm mind that could calmly handle any situation.
For Shirou, this was effortlessly easy.
The various techniques that followed were a slow and steady process, requiring only careful study, and he would eventually master them.
As a result, Shirou was exceptionally swift on the path of concurrent chanting.
Even Lefiya, under Shirou's guidance, gradually mastered this technique. This led to a significant increase in both of their strengths.
Meanwhile, having verified Shirou's hypothesis and mastered the self-limitation training method, the executives of the Loki Familia also began to continuously explore how to limit their own abilities.
Shirou also attended similar meetings and discussed several suitable methods.
Through these methods, the strength of the high-level adventurers in the Loki Familia also increased rapidly.
At the same time, after more than a month of rest, the proposal for the next expedition was also raised in the meeting.

"Reached the limit again? Your progress speed is just monstrous, no matter how you look at it."
Looking at Shirou's latest ability values, Loki clicked her tongue, then handed the translated paper to Shirou.
Looking at his stats, Shirou remained unfazed.
He had already guessed such numbers before he came.
After all, the last time he came to update his Blessing, his basic stats were already close to maximum.
Looking at Shirou, who was staring at the paper with a calm expression, Loki's eye twitched slightly.
Why isn't this kid showing any excitement? So, my excitement was all for nothing, huh?
"Since your basic stats have reached their limit, the next step is to level up. Do you already have a goal for this great feat, this adventure?"
Loki naturally had to ask Shirou about his goal for this adventure.
After all, this guy had a record.
Last time, he secretly delved into the 18th floor alone without a word.
This time, Loki wouldn't be surprised if he said he was going to solo a Floor Boss.
"I already have a goal."
Since updating his Blessing last time, Shirou, knowing he was about to reach his limit, began thinking about his next objective and eventually confirmed it.
"My target is the Floor Boss of the 17th floor, Goliath."
After putting on his shirt, Shirou said seriously.
Hearing Shirou's words, Loki's eyes nearly popped out.
No way, seriously a Floor Boss? I was just kidding!
"You're LV.2, and Goliath is a LV.4 Floor Boss. Are you really not aware of the difference between them?"
Loki unconsciously roared.
Is this guy really not scared at all?
Although reprimanded, Shirou could feel Loki's deep concern. But his goal would not change.
A Floor Boss was an obstacle he absolutely had to overcome.
If he couldn't even overcome Goliath, what would he use to save Miyu?
"Please don't worry, Loki-sama. I'm not acting on impulse. I have an estimation for the battle with Goliath; it's not a reckless choice."
"Furthermore, I won't be going alone this time. I'll ask seniors from the Familia to assist me. So, nothing will happen to me."
Looking at Loki, whose expression was gradually softening, Shirou smiled,
"Please believe me, Loki-sama!"
"Until my goal is achieved, I will not die easily."
