Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused, puzzled as to why the will of nature was so certain, and asked in confusion:

"why?"

"Because that being made a pact with the world."

Natural will answered in this way, and then said:

"However, besides that, it can destroy anything it wants to destroy, and we can't interfere. That's why I specifically reminded you to be careful."

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, seemingly understanding.

Although she didn't know what the agreement between the Black Dragon and the world was all about, what she didn't expect was that the will of nature had come to her this time because it was worried that she would anger the Black Dragon and bring about destruction, so it came to warn her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat touched by this, so she nodded again and smiled:

"Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."

After informing Fujimaru Ritsuka of the black dragon's arrival, the purpose of the Will of Nature was achieved. Before the dream ended, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered something and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"By the way, regarding the matter of Melyuchina, there's probably no way to resolve it. I'm sorry."

As she spoke, Fujimaru Ritsuka relayed what Meiryu Shina had said.

"...I see..."

Upon hearing this news, the tone of Nature's Will seemed very disappointed and regretful, indicating that the other party really wanted a dragon like Melyuchina.

Of course, who wouldn't want that?

Chapter 291 The Black Dragon Commander's Choice: Departure

When Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up the next morning, she first told Meryuchina about her conversation with the will of nature in her dream.

"A black dragon from another world... that sounds interesting."

Unlike the fear that the Will of Nature showed when talking about the Black Dragon, Meiliuqina showed a hint of interest when she heard about the Black Dragon's origins.

Although Meruchina isn't a battle maniac, seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but remind her:

"Our goal is not to fight, and if possible, it is best to avoid unnecessary conflict."

"I know."

Meiliuqina nodded obediently, then chuckled softly:

"However, if the other party comes to us first, that's a different story."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said helplessly:

"Then we'll just have to see how things go at that point."

She shared the same feeling as Meiliuqina: the Black Dragon's purpose in coming here might be precisely for them, who were also visitors from another world.

Mei Liuqina linked her arm with hers and smiled confidently:

"Don't worry, Master. If the opponent is a dragon, I, as the strongest dragon, will absolutely not lose!"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but smile.

"Ah."

Furthermore, the arrival of the Black Dragon is not only a situation that deserves great attention in the New World, but also a major event that hunters currently active in the New World must treat with utmost care.

According to the will of nature, the Black Dragon made an agreement with the world that it would not arbitrarily destroy the ecosystem of the entire continent, but there were no other restrictions.

Therefore, the hunters' stronghold, Stardust, could very well become a target for the Black Dragon.

Considering this situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt it necessary to remind them about the Black Dragon.

After a quick wash, the two left the room to find the Commander-in-Chief.

Just as she stepped out the door, the Nergigante sleeping on the roof noticed the movement, opened its eyes, and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and asked it:

"We need to talk to the Commander-in-Chief about something. Do you want to come with us? Or do you want to continue sleeping and we'll come back to wake you later?"

After thinking for a moment, Nergigante got up from the roof and jumped down, demonstrating its choice through its actions.

"Let's go then."

One person and two dragons left along the road, while not far from the hut, several young people who looked like scholars huddled in a corner, recording everything that was happening before their eyes in astonishment.

"Nergigante seems to be able to communicate with humans..."

They got up at a time that wasn't too late compared to their usual time, but it still seemed a bit late compared to the hunters in the stronghold. Bai Feng and Re Ya had left the hut at some point.

Early in the morning, the dining area, the forge, the docks... all the places in the base were already bustling with activity, and hunters on missions could be seen leaving the base on pterosaurs from time to time.

However, with Nergigante following behind them, they were always the most eye-catching creatures in the area, no matter where they went.

Arriving at the conference area under the watchful eyes of the hunters, the Commander-in-Chief had already begun his work at the conference table, with Ron, the head of the investigation team, beside him.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"It's Ritsuka."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group approaching, the Commander-in-Chief temporarily put down his work and asked with a smile:

"What do you want to see me for?"

"Ah."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and got straight to the point:

"The natural will of the New World tells me that the Black Dragon seems to be coming to the New World. I hope you will be careful."

“…Black Dragon?”

Upon hearing the name uttered by Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Commander-in-Chief froze in disbelief. After a moment of silence, he asked again, still unable to believe it:

"You mean that black dragon? The legendary black dragon?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded again and said:

"Black Dragon, Mirapolias."

"Mirapolias, isn't that the name from the nursery rhyme?"

Ron, standing to the side, found it somewhat amusing and subconsciously glanced at the Commander-in-Chief, only to find that the other had fallen silent again, and his expression had become extremely unpleasant.

Just as Ron said, in the minds of most people, the Black Dragon should be a fictional monster that only exists in poems and nursery rhymes. Even in the guild, only a few high-ranking members know of its existence.

As the commander-in-chief of the New World Survey Team, he was also one of the few who knew the truth.

Although he desperately hoped that Fujimaru Ritsuka was just joking with him, the fact that she, as someone from another world unfamiliar with their world, said the name 'Mirapolias' already revealed the truth.

This is really a big problem.

The Commander-in-Chief took a deep breath and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka seriously:

"Can you be sure how long it will take for it to reach the New World?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head and said:

"I don't know, but judging from what they said, it should be soon."

"Recently..."

The Commander-in-Chief clenched his fists; in that case, the guild might not be able to provide support in time.

"Ron, go and inform everyone to prepare for an emergency meeting."

"Ah, yes!"

Ron was a little confused, but seeing the Commander-in-Chief's serious expression, he quickly ran off to find someone.

As he ran, he muttered to himself:

Could there really be a black dragon?

Watching Ron's departing figure, the Commander-in-Chief then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, seemingly struggling with something.

After a while, he seemed to have finally figured it out and said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"I'm sorry, the base will be completely closed for a while, and it may not be suitable to entertain guests at the moment."

Seeing the surprised expressions on Fujimaru Ritsuka's and Meiryu Shiina's faces, the Commander-in-Chief said in a deep voice:

"Ritsuka, please leave."

……

...

Faced with the Commander-in-Chief's order to leave, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't say anything unnecessary and obediently chose to leave.

Above the sky, Fujimaru Ritsuka was held in Meiryu Shina's arms. She turned her head slightly to look back and saw the [Starry Sky] base becoming smaller and smaller in her field of vision.

Just then, Mei Liuqina's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out—

"I thought he would ask us for help, but he actually told us to leave. I don't know whether to call him kind or stupid."

Leaving aside Fujimaru Ritsuka for the moment, Nergigante and Melyuki are already quite powerful allies for the Survey Corps. If they could get their help, the defense would definitely be much easier.

However, under these circumstances, the commander-in-chief chose to let them leave.

This choice indicates that the Commander-in-Chief is very pessimistic about the situation in the battle against the Black Dragon, believing that even with them added, they probably would not be able to contend with the Black Dragon, so he chose not to involve them.

Although it is unknown how strong the Black Dragons are, it is certain that the Commander-in-Chief has a strong misconception about their strength.

Well, actually, this is just right.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled.

They had planned to leave the stronghold anyway, firstly to fulfill the mandate of nature, and secondly because they all felt that the Black Dragon might be looking for them. If that were the case, staying in the stronghold would only implicate the Commander-in-Chief and the others.

Therefore, even when the Commander-in-Chief asked them to stay and help, she could only helplessly refuse.

However, this makes the situation somewhat awkward.

In addition, considering that it was not impossible for the black dragon to attack the hunter's stronghold, she set up a detection spell near the stronghold before leaving. If the stronghold was attacked within the detection range, she would be able to sense it and come to its aid immediately.
