Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Fujimaru Ritsuka unconsciously rubbed her chin, lost in thought. After a moment, she asked:

"After signing the contract, will I become something like a black dragon?"

Natural Will also remained silent for a moment, then honestly replied:

"...I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of power."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, upon hearing this, didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"I did not mean that."

She didn't want to become like the black dragon; on the contrary, she didn't want to become like that.

Although she ultimately failed to get the secret that Black Dragon was trying so hard to hide from him, she still had a bad feeling about it.

More importantly, she is currently quite content with her human identity and has no intention of becoming any other strange or unusual being.

And immortality and all that...

She has already gone through countless troubles. Immortality would probably mean endless troubles for her, which is terrifying to even think about.

Her current wish is to live a peaceful and healthy life until she dies of old age.

...Although dying peacefully seems unlikely now, at least I should at least die of old age!

As for what to do after death, how to deal with those gods of the underworld...

She didn't want to think about such a headache-inducing problem for the time being.

In short, after confirming that the contract didn't contain anything strange, she quickly nodded and smiled:

"Then let's sign the contract."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 313 Grand Commander: It's just a souvenir, do we need to buy so many?

"Sign a contract?!"

Meliuchina felt only anger and worry about the fact that her Master had casually signed a contract with the natural will of the New World without her knowledge.

She pinched Fujimaru Ritsuka's cheeks and pulled them outwards forcefully, scolding her angrily:

"Honestly, how can you make such an important decision so casually?!"

"You should at least have discussed it with me first!"

Although she had previously stated that beings similar to the will of a planet were much simpler than the Alaya consciousness, this was far too unguarded!

She knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka got along well with the other party, but she should be careful when faced with an unknown contract.

What if there are traps in the contract?

"Ouch! Ouch... (Sorry! That hurts...)"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, whose cheeks were being pinched, begged for mercy in a muffled voice, her eyes glistening with tears from the pain, making her look incredibly pitiful.

"Ugh."

Seeing this, Meiliuqina sighed helplessly, and finally couldn't bear to let go of her hand, asking worriedly:

"Is there really no problem?"

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gently rubbed her flushed cheeks and smiled somewhat shyly:

"There should be no problem?"

After successfully making a pact with the will of nature, she carefully observed the changes in her body.

Then they found that nothing had changed.

According to the will of nature, this contract simply allows Him to notify her directly when He encounters a crisis, but it cannot provide her with any other power.

Correspondingly, she will not be subject to any mandatory constraints.

In fact, even the will of nature itself is somewhat confused about some issues concerning contracts.

For example, whether she could receive similar requests for assistance in other worlds is something even the will of nature is unaware of.

In short, both sides were equally matched, with one advocating going with their gut feeling and signing first.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mei Liuqina was speechless and wanted to teach her a lesson again.

While Fujimaru Ritsuka is usually meticulous and cautious, she can also be incredibly reckless at times, making people worry.

In response, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head and chuckled awkwardly:

“I believe He wouldn’t lie to me.”

"Ugh."

Meiliuqina sighed again, there was nothing she could do about Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Now that the contract has been signed, there's no point in saying anything more. Let's wait until we return to Chaldea and then inform the other administrators.

She's not very good at handling these kinds of issues, but given Chaldea's current strength, there are plenty of Servants who can solve the problem, whether it's severing the contract or doing something else.

Let's keep this in mind for now; the next step is to go to the Elder's Recess to absorb energy.

Although she initially rejected this approach, now that she has obtained the consent of the land itself, there is no need for her to hesitate.

However, there's no rush. They're currently right next to the Dragon's Crystal Land, so they just need to go there before leaving this world.

And before that...

"Ritsuka, Meiru Shina! Are you awake?"

Reya's voice called from outside the tent, and the two of them got dressed, got up, and went out of the tent.

They didn't get up too late today, but the base was already bustling with activity as everyone worked hard to build their new home.

The World Destroyer Nergigante sleeping outside the tent was completely unaffected, still lazily lying on the ground.

As soon as they stepped out of the tent, they saw Reya, as enthusiastic and lively as ever, but beside her were two other familiar friends—

"White wind, summer dew!"

Upon seeing the other person, Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise:

"You're back!"

Bai Feng smiled and nodded to her. They had just returned to the base and rushed over immediately after learning that Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to leave.

On the other side, Xia Lu suddenly rushed into Fujimaru Ritsuka's arms, asking reluctantly:

"Reya said you're leaving, meow?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked the cat's head, finding the texture quite pleasant, and smiled:

"Yes, but I'll come back if I have the chance in the future."

Bai Feng looked at her, seemingly asking something. Fujimaru Ritsuka could now roughly understand what the other party wanted to express, and replied with a smile:

"It should be in the next day or two, right?"

She was referring to the time they left.

Bai Feng nodded again, and for the first time ever, stepped forward and gently hugged her.

Reya laughed from the side:

"The Commander-in-Chief and the others know you are leaving, so they have allowed us to take a break for a while."

In other words, they can stay with him during this time.

"Before you leave, Ritsuka, is there anything else you'd like to do?"

"Of course!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded happily and stated her second purpose—

Buy some souvenirs!

Monster Hunter World is a completely different world from theirs, so the local specialties here are even more worth buying.

However, there's another problem if you want to buy souvenirs—

money.

She didn't have any of this world's currency, but she had plenty of gold and jewelry. She just didn't know if the outpost accepted barter.

So, with this question in mind, they went to discuss it with the Commander-in-Chief again.

As they walked along the road, they could see a steady stream of timber being transported from the port into the Earth Vein Corridor. This timber was what Bai Feng and his team had harvested from the Ancient Tree Forest region.

These timbers can be quickly dried in the magma area of ​​the ley lines and then used for emergency construction.

Upon arriving at the temporary meeting area, in addition to the Commander-in-Chief, the Grand Commander who had returned with Bai Feng was also present.

"Commander-in-Chief, Regimental Commander!"

"Oh, it's Ritsuka!"

Upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Grand Commander greeted her warmly.

"We heard you're leaving? Aren't you staying a little longer? We haven't properly thanked you yet!"

"Thanks and all that, I didn't do anything."

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved his hand modestly, but this made the Commander-in-Chief and the Grand Commander's expressions turn strange again.

The Commander-in-Chief smiled wryly:

"If you say that, we'll all be so ashamed we'll want to disappear."

Based on what they know about each other's experiences, it's more exciting than any adventure novel, not to mention there are probably many things they don't know.

If this counts as not doing anything, then haven't they wasted decades of their lives?

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little embarrassed by what was said, so she skipped the topic and revealed the purpose of her visit.

"Are you buying local specialties to take back with you?"
