Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Amano Hina looked troubled. All she could be sure of was that the clearing weather had nothing to do with her; as for everything else, she remained completely unaware.

She thought for a while and said:

"Didn't they say on TV that it was caused by El Niño, a phenomenon resulting from extreme weather?"

"No, probably not."

Conan was the first to deny this claim, and then fell into deep thought.

He subsequently consulted relevant literature but did not find the phenomenon described by those experts.

On the contrary, the whole process of Amano Hina clearing up the sky, which I just witnessed, was somewhat similar to the clearing up process circulating online.

In other words, compared to the so-called expert speculations, it is more likely that—

"Besides Hina, are there any other weather maidens?"

Conan speculated.

"Another Weather Girl?!"

Upon hearing Conan's speculation, Hina Amano's eyes widened in surprise.

It is certain that if such a weather maiden truly exists, then the other party's abilities would undoubtedly be far greater than hers.

Because she could only bring about a small, brief period of sunshine, while the other party could turn the entire Tokyo into a sunny place.

In fact, after witnessing that "30-minute sunny day," she had a vague feeling about it, but Conan just happened to express her true feelings.

But if there really is another Weather Maiden...

Amano Hina seemed lost in thought, unconsciously casting her gaze towards Fujimaru Ritsuka beside her.

Conan also looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. He thought that since Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others had been investigating related incidents recently, they might also know something about the other Weather Maiden.

But when he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, he found that she was also looking at him, and her expression seemed a little subtle.

At that moment, Hina Amano's somewhat uncertain question also came through—

"Hey Ritsuka, you wouldn't happen to be another Weather Maiden, would you?"

"Eh?"×2

Upon hearing this, Conan and Hodaka Morishima were both taken aback for a moment. Then, Hodaka Morishima exclaimed in surprise:

"What do you mean? Is Ritsuka a weather maiden too?!"

Conan glanced at Hina Amano in surprise, not understanding why she would make such a judgment, and then looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru, paying attention to her answer.

"Well..."

Seeing the three people's gazes converge on her, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and smiled:

"That's right."

"Eh?"×3

When Fujimaru Ritsuka admitted it so casually, the three of them were stunned and didn't know how to react.

"In that case, let me prove it a little."

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled and raised her right hand, snapping her fingers lightly.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, the small area of ​​clear sky that Amano Hina had summoned suddenly continued to expand and stretched to the horizon at an extremely fast speed.

The dark clouds quickly dissipated, leaving only wisps of white clouds. In just a few breaths, the entire Tokyo area transformed from a cloudy, rainy day into a clear, cloudless sky!

"This……"

The scene unfolding before their eyes left Conan and his friends somewhat dazed.

Amano Hina murmured to herself:

"Amazing……"

Although the nature of Fujimaru Ritsuka's abilities is the same as that of Amano Hina, in terms of performance, if Amano Hina's power is like a superpower, then Fujimaru Ritsuka's power is like a miracle!

Given such a huge difference in scale and magnitude, it is even debatable whether they can truly be considered the same capability!

"I have to say, that's really impressive."

Looking at the scenery before her, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had created all of this with her own hands, couldn't help but sigh.

Even disregarding its destructive power and practicality, the ability to switch weather at any time is already commendable.

"indeed."

Despite having witnessed it once before, Ai Haibara was still shocked upon seeing it again, and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Mashu, standing to the side, also laughed:

"Moreover, it seems that you are becoming more and more proficient in using this power."

"Right!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also somewhat pleased with this.

Moreover, for her, this power didn't feel like magic when she used it, and it seemed to come without any burden.

If I had to describe it carefully, it would be more like an instinct, like breathing.

At this moment, Amano Hina and the other two finally came to their senses.

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, Morishima Hodaka said with some excitement:

"So you made the '30-Minute Sunny Day' too, Ms. Ritsuka? That's way better than Ms. Hina's!"

"Hey!"

Although it was true, Amano Hina still frowned slightly, a little annoyed, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, scratching her head shyly and saying:

"I didn't expect Ritsuka-senpai to be so strong. I suddenly feel so ashamed of what I just did."

"How could that be? But... senior?"

Upon hearing the address from Amano Hina, Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted her head in confusion, while Mash's eyes sharpened instantly.

Who dares to steal my senior?!

Amano Hina realized what was happening and explained:

"Because Ritsuka, your power is much greater than mine, I subconsciously regard you as my senior on the path of the Weather Maiden."

What the heck is "Weather Maiden Road"?

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know where to begin her comment, so she could only smile and wave her hand, saying:

"I only recently acquired this ability, so please just call me Ritsuka."

"Ok."

Hina Amano nodded obediently, her smile unwavering.

The form of address didn't matter. What mattered was that after witnessing all of this and confirming that Fujimaru Ritsuka was a weather maiden just like her, her attitude towards Fujimaru Ritsuka completely changed, becoming quite friendly and trusting.

So, immersed in her joy, she didn't notice the series of changes in Mash's gaze after she addressed Fujimaru Ritsuka as 'senpai'.

Hey bros, I'm back!

Sigh, another night of writing while in jail!

Chapter 356 Fujimaru Ritsuka: Let's Talk to Him

"..."

Conan's expression as he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka became even more complicated.

Meanwhile, he listened silently to the conversation between Fujimaru Ritsuka and Amano Hina and others, and gained some information that seemed quite significant.

For example, as Fujimaru Ritsuka said, she had only recently obtained this power.

I feel like there are still many secrets...

However, more importantly—

"Speaking of which, Ritsuka-neechan,"

Conan suddenly spoke, asking Fujimaru Ritsuka with some confusion:

"You just said that the reason you're looking for Hina is because she's a weather maiden, and you hope to use her power to solve the current problem."

"But since Ritsuka-neechan is also a Weather Maiden, and her power seems to be stronger than Hina-neechan's, why did you specifically seek out Hina-neechan? Is there some necessary reason?"

"Yes."

After listening to Conan's statement, Hina Amano paused for a moment, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense, and then looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru with some doubt.

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained with a smile:

"Perhaps that's true in terms of strength, but the current problem cannot be solved by strength alone."

"Furthermore, to be precise, what we are looking for is not a weather maiden, but a weather shrine maiden."

Upon suddenly hearing a new term, the group's expressions became even more puzzled.

"Weather Shrine Maiden, what's that?"

"He is the key figure in whether or not this incident can be resolved."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"However, it's more troublesome to explain verbally. If we want to talk about serious matters, let's go back to the office and discuss it there."

……

...

"Well then, let me briefly explain the current situation."

Back at the office, the group sat down in their original seats and then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke up and immediately dropped another bombshell—

"This continuous rain is not a normal phenomenon. If nothing unexpected happens, the source of all this should be the Japanese mythological deity, Yashinobu-no-Kami."
