Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"We can't just run away from reality and sit and wait to die, can we?"

It is an indisputable fact that mysterious forces, and even extraordinary beings such as gods, do exist in the world and have already revealed themselves to him.

Now that he has learned the truth, all he can do is accept it and quickly catch up on the relevant knowledge.

For detectives, accumulating knowledge is extremely important.

Without sufficient knowledge, even if a crucial clue is placed in front of you, you may not realize that it is the clue you have been searching for.

Most importantly, from now on, he must consider the mysterious power whenever he encounters a case.

but--

Turning his attention back to the present, looking at the empty torii gate in front of him, Conan couldn't help but mutter a question to himself:

"Can Ritsuka and the others really succeed?"

After all, no matter what, they were facing the gods!

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara looked up at the still clear sky, her tone calm and resolute—

"Of course."

-

The three of them, Fujimaru Ritsuka, disappeared beneath the torii gate. They only felt a flash before their eyes, and then the surrounding environment completely changed.

At this moment, they are in—

sky.

The sky was dim.

The three suddenly appeared in mid-air, falling freely.

The moment she saw the scene before her, Amano Hina immediately closed her eyes and screamed in fear.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

"Don't be afraid, Hina, we're right here with you."

However, immediately afterward, Fujimaru Ritsuka's calm voice came, and she squeezed her hand symbolically to comfort her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice seemed to possess a reassuring magic, and hearing her words of comfort, Amano Hina finally cautiously opened her eyes.

Then she saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had very calm expressions, as if they were just standing on the ground normally.

Seeing them like this, Hina Amano felt somewhat at ease for some reason, and then couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Ritsuka, aren't you scared? We're in the sky right now!"

"Well,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance, gave a forced smile, and replied helplessly:

"I guess it's because I've gotten used to it."

Either you are inexplicably transferred to the sky and freefall during a [spiritual transfer], or you are suddenly attacked by an enemy while traveling in the sky and freefall.

In short, she was extremely familiar with falling from the sky.

how to say?

This feeling is just like coming home.

However, Hina Amano clearly did not understand Ritsuka Fujimaru's sadness and helplessness, and asked incomprehension:

"Habit? But we're falling right now!... Wait, don't you have any?"

As they were talking, Amano Hina suddenly realized that they had stopped their free fall, as if an invisible wind was supporting them, and they were quietly suspended in mid-air.

"What's going on?"

"Don't worry, this is my ability."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and offered an explanation, calming the bewildered Amano Hina.

To be precise, this is one of the abilities of "weather manipulation," specifically the ability to control the wind, which is quite convenient to use in this situation.

"Amazing."

Amano Hina exclaimed in surprise again. After calming down, they were finally able to carefully observe their surroundings.

Upon seeing the scenery before them, they initially thought they were under the sky, but upon closer inspection, they couldn't help but doubt it—

Is this really the sky?

They floated in mid-air, but above them was not the sun and blue sky, nor the vast universe and starry sky, but a dim void.

Beneath our feet stretched an endless expanse of clouds, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that these were not mere clouds, but rather a sea of ​​clouds, surging like waves.

Amidst the sea of ​​clouds, streaks of red lightning and muffled thuds occasionally erupted, creating a very oppressive atmosphere in the dimly lit space.

"—!"

"Senior, look over there!"

Suddenly, a sound like a whale's cry came from the surging sea of ​​clouds, followed by Mashu's exclamation.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Amano Hina followed Mashu's gaze, their pupils instantly shrinking—

A colossal creature shrouded in mist emerged from the sea of ​​clouds. It had the appearance of a whale, but it was transparent, and its shape could only be barely outlined by the mist. It was dozens of times larger than a normal whale, and was enormous.

"Is that the whale from the mural?!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 359 The Mysterious Divine Realm, let's take some photos and check it out first.

Seeing the enormous whale leaping out of the sea of ​​clouds, Mashu assumed a wary stance.

But the other party seemed not to notice, or perhaps didn't care about the three outsiders at all. After briefly popping up, they disappeared back into the sea of ​​clouds.

Seeing this, the three breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka once again observed the surrounding situation:

The sky, the sea of ​​clouds, whales, and tiny fish made of water floating all around...

Taking in the view before her and comparing it one by one with the elements in the mural at the Weather Shrine, she guessed:

"In any case, this should be the realm of the gods, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hina Amano placed her other hand on her chest, savoring the feeling, and said firmly:

"...Yes, we are now in the realm of the gods."

"It was successful."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled slightly.

With Hina Amano's help, they arrived at the Divine Realm smoothly, just as planned. So, what happens next—

"We need to find them."

Since they were already in the realm of the gods, this goal should not be difficult to achieve, but Fujimaru Ritsuka scanned the surroundings back and forth but did not find the other party's figure.

"Could it be that,"

Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka fixed her gaze on the sea of ​​clouds beneath her feet and guessed:

"Do we have to go through the sea of ​​clouds?"

"Let's try to get closer first, and leave the guarding to Mashu."

Mash tightened her grip on the shield with her right hand and nodded solemnly:

"Yes!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka then activated her ability, controlling the three of them to slowly descend. As the sea of ​​clouds below gradually approached, Amano Hina, who had calmed down a bit, began to curiously observe this incredibly fantastical scenery.

"correct!"

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to remember something, and exclaimed in surprise, immediately stopping her descent and even starting to rise again.

"What's wrong? Is there any danger?!"

The sudden unusual situation made Amano Hina tense up again, and she quickly looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the hands she was holding with the two girls, then at Mashu's other hand holding the shield, and then turned to look at Amano Hina.

The two looked at each other, and Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled somewhat shyly:

"Um, Hina, could you do me a favor?"

Mashu seemed to have guessed Fujimaru Ritsuka's thoughts, and gave a helpless look, but Amano Hina, who was completely unaware of this, swallowed hard and nodded nervously:

"If I can help."

"Don't worry, it's not a troublesome problem."

As she spoke, Fujimaru Ritsuka opened the "Treasure Vault of the Subjects," from which a cell phone appeared. She used her ability to keep it suspended in mid-air and moved it in front of Amano Hina.

"Could you help me take some photos with my phone? Capture the scenery in front of us."

"……Eh?"

Hearing this strange request so suddenly, Amano Hina was taken aback, while Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled somewhat embarrassedly:

"After all, it might be a sight you only see once in your life. Don't you think it would be a shame not to record it?"

"If that's the case, then it is indeed true..."

Amano Hina nodded in agreement, finding the words very reasonable, and felt she wanted to take some photos herself.

"Then leave it to me."

Hina Amano took the phone, curiously examined its futuristic-looking casing, and then found the camera function to start taking pictures.

Wow, it's so clear!

"Hey, Ritsuka, could you send me a copy of the photo after we get off?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled upon hearing this:

"Of course!"

So Amano Hina took pictures of the surrounding scenery and added a group photo of the three of them. This photo, full of fantasy elements, would probably be considered photoshopped by anyone, right?
