Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

The Xeno'jiiva is not only an Elder Dragon, but a very special one. Even with one leg missing, its corpse is still considered a rare and precious material in this world.

So the Grand Master stared longingly at Fujimaru Ritsuka, his eyes filled with desire for the corpse of the Xeno'jiiva.

But she could only shrug and indicate that she was powerless to help.

Ultimately, the corpse of the Netherworld Dragon was Melyuchina's spoils of war. Perhaps Melyuchina wouldn't mind her making the decision for her, but unless Melyuchina explicitly confirmed it, she would never allow herself to do so on her own.

However, seeing the pitiful look in the Grand Master's eyes, she thought for a moment and said:

"If it's just for observation and research, and doesn't cause any damage to the body, then there's no problem."

“Thank you so much!”

Although the initial goal was not achieved, the commander's eyes lit up when he heard what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, and he prepared to go back immediately to organize researchers to come and study it.

Just then, Bai Feng and Re Ya were also preparing to return to the base to report on their duties, so the hunters who had rushed over left again in a hurry and returned to the base to start their next task.

As the only conscious person within the ley lines, Fujimaru Ritsuka first stored the corpse of the Xeno'jiiva in the "Treasury of the Subject" to prevent it from decaying, and then skillfully set up tents and campsites.

After everything was prepared, she settled Melyuchina on the bed inside the tent, then comfortably lay down on the lounge chair beside the tent, and took out her important companion whom she hadn't seen in a long time—

Handheld game console.

"Hehe, since we happen to be in the world of Monster Hunter, then..."

Monster Hunter: Dawn, launch!

-

'Ritsuka...Ritsuka...Ritsuka...'

"……here it is……?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly opened her eyes, looking somewhat bewildered at the pure white, hazy space before her.

If she remembered correctly, she should have just fallen asleep not long ago.

Dream?

Or has it been "transferred" again?

"—Ritsuka!"

Just as she was contemplating her current situation, a familiar voice suddenly called out to her, causing her to show a surprised expression.

The sound didn't come from any particular direction, but rather from the entire space; the sound enveloped her from all directions, creating a strange and wonderful feeling.

Her voice doesn't sound like a man's voice, nor does it sound like a woman's voice. It's a rather neutral voice, but the gentle tone makes people unconsciously think of a gentle woman.

Most importantly, the voice she recognized was the one that had been speaking to her in her dreams ever since she came into this world.

That is, the natural will of this world as she guessed.

In the past, the other person's voice was always very muffled, and she could only respond passively. This was the first time she had heard the other person speak so clearly and logically while she was fully conscious.

"……is it you?"

"it's me."

The other party gave an affirmative answer and then expressed their gratitude:

"Thank you for your help, friend from beyond the world."

"Uh, you're welcome."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, looked around, her heart filled with all sorts of curiosity and questions, but at the same time she was also a little hesitant, not knowing how to start the conversation.

The other person seemed to sense her inner thoughts, and then smiled:

"Please feel free to ask if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them."

Feeling reassured by the other person's friendly attitude, she then asked curiously:

"First, I want to know, who exactly are you?"

The other party replied:

“I am a consciousness born from this land, similar to the soul of the land.”

"This land?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat surprised to hear this, not expecting that the other party's scale was much smaller than she had anticipated. It was not the will of the entire planet, but merely the consciousness of the New World.

Then, she asked:

Why did you come looking for me? I'm not even from this world.

"Because you are the only person in this land who can establish a connection with me; none of the people who came to this land before you had this ability."

The other party's answer was very honest, and the 'those who came to this land earlier' that He mentioned should refer to the hunters.

Then He said:

"Moreover, I can sense that you possess the blessing of beings similar to myself."

"A similar existence? A blessing?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment, then couldn't help but think of the Counter Force Gaia.

She wasn't particularly familiar with the other party, but Arcueid, the Earth Princess who acted as the agent of the planetary restraint force, was in Chaldea, and they had a very good relationship.

Although she didn't know if Gaia had given her any blessings, it wouldn't be surprising if it was a princess.

As for why the hunters in the New World couldn't establish contact with each other, while she could...

Unfortunately, she didn't know the answer to that question either, after all, she was just an ordinary person.

However, it wasn't a big problem; she was already used to such strange situations.

In short, the other party's answer finally resolved a major doubt in her mind, and after a moment of realization, she moved on to ask the next question.

"Why can we communicate so consciously now, but not before?"

"Because you defeated that special ancient dragon, you gained the land's recognition."

The other party gave this answer, but seemingly noticing the confusion in Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression, they continued to explain:

"Whether you are from outside the world, or those who came to this land long before, or even the ancient dragon that you dealt with, you are all outsiders to this land."

"Those who came to this land earlier chose to integrate and gained recognition, while the ancient dragon was encroaching on the land and was therefore regarded as an enemy that needed to be defeated."

"And you have gained the land's recognition by defeating the ancient dragon that the land considered an enemy."

"Forehead……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused and asked in bewilderment:

"But aren't you the consciousness of this land? What is the land's own recognition?"

The other party explained:

“I am indeed the consciousness of this land, but I am also only a part of it.”

"Is this so..."

After listening, she nodded as if she understood but not quite.

Although I still don't fully understand it, I feel like I've grasped a bit of what the other person is trying to say. In short, it's that kind of mysterious relationship that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

Just nod.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 284: Wanting Mei Liuqina to have a child?

In short, almost all the doubts that had accumulated in her heart since coming into this world had been answered, so she spoke to the other party:

"I've finished asking my questions for now. Is there anything you'd like to say?"

She felt that there should be.

As far as she remembered, the Xeno'jiiva they defeated was not the only Elder Dragon that would damage the ecology of the New World; there was another Elder Dragon.

In fact, the existence of another ancient dragon poses a greater threat to the New World in some ways than the Xeno'jiiva.

However, to her surprise, the other party did not say what she expected, but instead talked about something else.

"I'd like to know, is your companion, who also comes from beyond this world, a human-shaped ancient dragon?"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this question, Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected the other party to suddenly ask about Meiliu Qina, and she certainly hadn't expected the other party to discover Meiliu Qina's true identity.

However, the humanoid ancient dragon...

"Um... how should I put it..."

She frowned slightly, her expression conflicted, unsure of where to begin her explanation.

The fact that she's an ancient dragon isn't so bad; in a sense, Meiliuqina is indeed an 'ancient dragon'.

However, it is more like a fairy-like ancient dragon than a humanoid one.

After thinking for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to give up on explaining the difference between humans and fairies, and reluctantly nodded, saying:

"I guess so. Is there a problem?"

For some reason, after she answered, the other person fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere inexplicably changed subtly.

Just as she was wondering about this subtle change, the other person suddenly spoke again, their previously calm tone now tinged with excitement and anticipation:

"I have a request—"

"I hope you can ask her for me if she is willing to leave offspring in this world."

"……Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression froze, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

-

Well, that's how it is anyway.

She shifted her gaze to the other side, not daring to look directly at Meiliuqina's face, and scratched her cheek somewhat awkwardly.

After Melyuchina woke up, she repeated what the will of nature had said to her in the dream.
