Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Have a good night's sleep.

Back in the world of Detective Conan, without any troublesome targets or disturbing figures, Fujimaru Ritsuka slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky before finally opening her eyes, still somewhat groggy.

She turned to her side, lazily stretching her right hand out from under the covers to grab her phone, which was placed on the bedside table.

I glanced at the time; it was almost noon.

"Ha~~~~"

Although she really wanted to go back to sleep, she remembered that she had an important task to complete today, so she finally got out of bed and stretched.

She got out of bed, went to the window, and drew back the curtains. The bright midday sun instantly flooded in, illuminating the entire room.

The sudden bright light made her squint slightly, but it also made her more awake. Turning to look at the three little ones beside the bed, she greeted them with a smile:

"Morning!"

The three dolls gently swayed in response.

At that moment, she recalled her thoughts from the previous night, so she went to the bedside and put them into the [My Noble Phantasm].

Today is her second day back in the Conan world from SAO, and it's also the day she and BB agreed to contact Chaldea.

Although no specific time was agreed upon, it wouldn't be good to keep them waiting.

With that in mind, she opened the door and left the bedroom. After washing up in the bathroom on the second floor, she prepared to go downstairs to contact Chaldea.

But just then she suddenly noticed some strange noises coming from downstairs.

It sounds like cooking is coming from the kitchen.

But who in the family can cook now?

professor?

It's a bit scary.

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately shivered. This guess was really a bit frightening. She would rather believe that the tableware in the kitchen was moving on its own, which was not so strange.

Could it be that Ai is here and cooking?

possible.

So, with a hint of doubt, she went down the stairs and entered the living room, only to be immediately stunned by what she saw—

Moriarty had gotten up sometime earlier and was now sitting on the sofa reading a book, but he was clearly not her focus.

Mashu, wearing an apron, was busy in the kitchen when she heard the noise and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka coming downstairs. She greeted her happily.

"Senior, are you awake? Good morning!"

"Um, good morning."

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied blankly, still somewhat dazed.

No, wait.

"—Mash?!"

She looked at Mashu with a mixture of surprise and delight, wondering if she was still dreaming, otherwise how could the other person suddenly appear in front of her?

Could it be that she misses her too much?

But just then, a small red and white figure jumped off the living room sofa. The moment Fujimaru Ritsuka saw her, the figure pounced on her and hugged her tightly, saying happily:

"Ritsuka-neechan!"

"It's wave rice."

She subconsciously stroked the other person's fluffy, soft white hair, and the moment she saw Bo Dao, she finally realized what was going on.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Boda who brought Mashu over.

After thinking it all through, she was completely awake and smiled apologetically at Bo Dao:

"I'm sorry, I just brought you to Chaldea and then suddenly left."

“It’s okay. Everyone has already explained it to me. You didn’t want to leave on your own.”

Bo Dao shook his head and smiled:

"Moreover, I've made new friends in Chaldea!"

Even so, she was indeed a little panicked when she discovered that Fujimaru Ritsuka had suddenly disappeared the next day, fearing that the other party had abandoned her there and never cared about her again.

So when she returned to the Conan world and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka again, she felt a real sense of relief.

Seeing this, Mashu brought the dishes out of the kitchen and said with a smile:

"Bo Dao and I arrived here this morning, but we didn't want to disturb you since you were still resting. You must be tired from just returning from another world, right?"

"Considering that my senior doesn't have time to eat breakfast or get up, I tried to make a dish that combines breakfast and lunch, but I don't know if it will suit my senior's taste."

“Mashu.”

Seeing the steaming food in Mashu's hands, she was deeply moved.

It was a pity that the other person was holding a hot dish, otherwise she would definitely have rushed over and given them a super enthusiastic hug.

It has to be her Mashu!

Although Moriarty was still holding the book, his eyes were already fixed on the two girls, and he gave a silent smile.

So, after Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu sat down together and enjoyed the most delicious meal they had had in a while, they finally got down to business.

"Director Da Vinci and his colleagues have sent me with what they want to say and the current intelligence. Please take a look, senior."

As she spoke, Mashu took out a small device from her pocket, exactly the same as the projection equipment Moriarty had brought.

Mashu tapped the small device a few times, and a blue, semi-transparent projection appeared, along with a familiar figure and voice—

"Master, how is the situation now?"

Chapter 202: A Call from Chaldea, Current Status of Both Sides

202.

2023-12-28

The image of the adult Leonardo da Vinci appeared in the projection. Knowing that this was just a simple recording, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not answer the other party's question, but waited for the other party to continue.

But to her surprise, the other person didn't continue speaking, but instead tilted their head in confusion and asked:

"Moshi moshi, can you hear me? The equipment should be working fine, right?"

Seeing the other person's reaction, she hesitated before speaking:

"Da Vinci, sir? Isn't this a video recording?"

"I'm here!"

Upon hearing her call, Leonardo da Vinci immediately nodded and called out happily.

"Great! It looks like it really worked!"

It wasn't a video recording, but a phone call that transcended the globe?!

Upon seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened in surprise. She subconsciously looked at Mashu, only to find that Mashu also looked surprised, apparently unaware of the device's condition.

After the cheers subsided, Leonardo da Vinci quickly recovered and enthusiastically began to explain to them:

"This is a device that my younger self and I painstakingly invented. It's called the [One-Way Interdimensional Communication Device Prototype 1]. Pretty amazing, right?!"

"Well, that's great!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded vigorously. The communication device that could connect two worlds was beyond just being described as 'amazing'.

However, after praising the other person, she asked with some doubt:

"But why is it a one-way communication device, and not a two-way one?"

And isn't it inconvenient that they are the ones communicating with Chaldea?

Upon hearing this, Leonardo da Vinci replied helplessly:

"The finished product I envision is indeed two-way communication, but for now, it is only a semi-finished product that utilizes the characteristics of your [Transfer] physique and the connection between you and Chaldea."

Her initial idea was, of course, to invent a communication device that could stably communicate between different worlds, but during the research process, she found that the difficulty was too great and she could not move forward at all.

The question of how to establish stable connections in any different world, in particular, almost drove her crazy.

Left with no other choice, she had to put this prototype into use.

But soon, she clenched her fist with renewed fighting spirit and said:

"But don't worry, I'll definitely finish making the finished product as soon as possible. After all, I'm a perfect, all-powerful person!"

"Keep going, Leonardo da Vinci! I believe in you!"

"Me too, good luck to Leonardo da Vinci!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu offered their heartfelt blessings and encouragement in time. In fact, they genuinely felt that the other person had already done a great job.

Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, what does it mean to utilize the characteristics of my [Transfer] constitution? Is there any further research on the [Transfer] phenomenon now?"

"There has indeed been some progress, but it's not in this area."

Leonardo da Vinci explained enthusiastically:

"Although the specifics of [transfer] haven't been fully understood, it's like how primitive people didn't understand the nature of fire, but that didn't stop them from using fire to cook meat. To be specific..."

"Cough cough!"

Just then, the new director, Goldruff, coughed beside Leonardo da Vinci, interrupting her speech and impatiently urging her on:

"How long are you going to chat like this? Can't we get down to business first?"

"Ah, sorry sorry."

Leonardo da Vinci then realized what was happening, and then said with a smile:

"Alright, let's get down to business."
