Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"By the way, don't let Little Kadoc's current appearance fool you; he was very worried when he heard you were missing."

Kadoc's face flushed instantly, and he angrily interrupted him, saying:

"Shut up, no one asked you to say anything unnecessary!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha"

Watching the two playfully teasing each other, she smiled sincerely:

"Anyway, thank you, Kadoc, Pepe!"

At this moment, Mashu, who was standing nearby, explained to her:

"It's like this, after you went missing, we immediately began an investigation, but at the same time we also had to continue clearing newly formed anomalies, so we were a bit short-handed."

"So we asked seniors Kadoc and Pepe to come back and help us."

However, although it is said that there is a shortage of manpower, it is not a true shortage of manpower.

To be precise, they don't have enough manpower to deploy.

In Chaldea, besides the Servants who can be commanded normally, there are also Servants who are difficult to talk to, who don't care about the lives and deaths of humanity, who cannot be easily used, who do not accept orders from others, and even who want to destroy humanity, and so on.

Only Fujimaru Ritsuka could control this group of Servants with such different personalities and gather such a huge and terrifying force.

"That's it anyway."

At this point, Peperoncino added with some emotion:

"It's really nostalgic to be doing this job again."

Kadoc glanced at him and said:

"You were the one who chose to leave, so why are you talking about missing me now? What are you really thinking?"

"Nostalgia is nostalgia, and leaving is leaving; these are two different things!"

Peperoncino rolled his eyes at him and said:

"Little Kadoc, you really have no sense of romance. No wonder you're still single."

"Huh?! These two things have nothing to do with each other, right?!"

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to remember something and asked with some curiosity:

"By the way, what about Kilshtalia and Ophelia? Haven't they come back?"

"They didn't come back; only the two of us returned."

Kadoc replied:

"As for that guy, he probably won't come back until he finds a way to realize his plan and defeat you again, right?"

"As for Ophelia, she's still the same; wherever Kilshtalia goes, she goes too."

"Is that so?"

She scratched her cheek, looking somewhat troubled, and said:

"I really don't want to fight him again."

Especially their move, the Celestial Sphere that protects humanity, was honestly quite frightening.

Chapter 131. Group A's whereabouts: Visit

131.

2023-11-20

After everything was over, Kirshtalia chose to leave Chaldea and continue searching for a way to realize his plan.

Ophelia, Peperoncino, and Cadoco also chose to leave with him.

Before parting, Peperoncino said the following:

"I can't help it; after all, he saved my life, and not repaying a debt of gratitude doesn't align with my aesthetics."

"Besides Ritsuka, he's the one who needs help more right now."

"But we'll come back to visit occasionally, as long as you don't mind."

As for Kadoc's words:

'This is such a pain, Pepe insists on dragging me along, but I'm not interested in his plans at all.'

'But there's nothing I can do. After all, I owe him my life, so I have no choice but to play along for now.'

'However, a weak magician like me probably wouldn't be of much use.'

"Anyway, if anything happens on your end, just let me know and I'll be there immediately."

Back to reality——

After explaining the situation to Cadoc and Peperoncino in the same way, Cadoc looked at her with a strange and indescribable expression.

Finally, he sighed softly and said:

"As expected of you."

"Hey, what does that mean? A compliment? Or mockery?"

She leaned forward, close to Kadoc, staring intently at him, and questioned him with a warning tone.

"It's neither sarcasm nor praise, it's just the literal meaning."

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's cute face so close to his, he unconsciously leaned back a little, his gaze wandering.

"Are you just mocking me?"

"I already said no!"

"alright."

Peperoncino interrupted their conversation, saying:

"Kardok and I will probably stay in Chaldea for a while longer. After that, we can find some time to have a tea party and have a good chat together."

He glanced at Ina beside Fujimaru Ritsuka and smiled:

"But right now, Ritsuka, you and Mashu still have things to do, right?"

Upon hearing this, she and Mashu exchanged a glance, then smiled and nodded.

"Okay, it's settled then. Let's get together again sometime later!"

Mashu also enthusiastically suggested:

"At that time, we can also invite Hinako-senpai Akuta along."

"of course!"

After making this promise, Fujimaru Ritsuka said goodbye to Mashu and the other two, and began to show Ina around Chaldea.

Within Chaldea, there are two areas where the most Servants gather.

One of them is the training room, where Servants who love battles regularly engage in simulated battles, exchange skills, and create a very lively atmosphere.

However, considering that she might be invited by the Servants to engage in a passionate duel, or even be dragged into a training session, she felt it was better to skip that place for now.

In any case, it's highly likely that Bo Dao will not be going to the training ground in the future.

Hmm, let's skip that.

As for the other area, without a doubt, it is the Chaldea restaurant.

Not to mention the bustling scene during mealtimes, even outside of mealtimes, the restaurant area is never short of Servants.

Upon entering the restaurant area, the first thing that catches the eye is the ever-present 'Artoria series' Servants.

The mysterious heroine X and Artoria Pendragon (Lily), the master and apprentice, are eating dessert together, but the number of empty plates piled up next to them is astonishing.

Meanwhile, Hector and the Paris brothers were having a meal and chatting together.

Sitting next to them was Mandicardo, Hector's devoted fan and her friend.

Other notable characters include Katsushika Hokusai, Kyokutei Bakin, and Minamoto no Tametomo.

"Master!"

"you are back!"

"Welcome back!"

"Has something interesting happened this time?"

"Anyway, it's good that you're back safe and sound."

The moment Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared, the previously quiet restaurant suddenly became lively.

Thank you for your concern.

The cacophony of voices from the numerous Servants overwhelmed her, leaving her with no choice but to awkwardly smile and deal with them one by one.

"Master, dear!"

Just then, a pink figure rushed out of the kitchen, came to her, excitedly hugged her tightly, and cried out:

"Woof woof, Master, you're finally back! I've missed you so much, woof!"

"Today's head chef is Tamamo-neko."

She reached out and expertly rubbed the fluffy fox ears on Tamamo-no-Mae's head.

Once the other person showed an expression of enjoyment and began to relax, she took the opportunity to break free from their embrace and laughed:

"I am back."

Welcome back, woof!

After calming down a bit, Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Nami beside Fujimaru Ritsuka and said happily:

"A new child has arrived!"

"My name is Tamamo Cat. I am the master's prospective wife and maid, and currently work as a chef. It's nice to meet you, woof!"
