Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

After this experience, Hina Amano felt a strange sense of wonder.

Despite the fact that this trip to the divine realm seemed extremely dangerous no matter how you looked at it, Fujimaru Ritsuka acted as if she were just having a normal picnic.

Her relaxed attitude made her relax as well.

Speaking of which, she noticed by chance while taking the photos that the last photo on Fujimaru Ritsuka's phone was also a group photo.

Above them was a group of people clad in various armors and wielding enormous weapons. They looked primitive and fierce, and it even seemed like... there was a dragon among them?

Could this also be true?

Well, let's keep moving forward anyway.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's words interrupted Amano Hina's thoughts. Ignoring this little interlude, the three continued their descent towards the sea of ​​clouds.

"Senior, over there!"

However, before they could descend for long, the sea of ​​clouds beneath their feet suddenly stirred again, and something else emerged from it.

It is not the giant whale of the past, but something more slender and more winding, like a snake. It is also shrouded in clouds and mist, making its true form unclear. Or rather, it is a kind of creature/phenomenon composed of clouds and mist.

The other party emerged from the sea of ​​clouds, passed by Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two, and gracefully ascended into the sky.

"Amazing……"

Amano Hina couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, while Fujimaru Ritsuka hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Could that be the dragon from the mural?"

She originally thought that the dragon in the mural that the weather shrine maiden saw might be the deity himself, the manifestation of Yashinagami, but now it seems that this is not the case.

If that's the case, does that mean the deity didn't appear before the first weather priestess or in the murals?

But just as she was thinking, Mashu's alert voice suddenly startled her awake—

"Senior, it seems like they're coming for us!"

Upon hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka instantly snapped back to reality. She saw the cloud dragon, which had risen high in the sky, turn around and begin to fall for some reason, its landing point passing right over their location!

Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled and quickly moved their positions to avoid the trajectory of the falling enemy. However, after she moved, the enemy also adjusted its direction and aimed at them again!

Without a doubt, they were indeed coming for them!

"Matthew!"

"Yes!"

The three shifted positions, with Mashu holding a shield at the top, protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka and Amano Hina behind it.

The opponent seemed slow, but arrived in front of the three in an instant. Mashu poured magic into the Round Table Shield, but just as the two sides were about to collide, the opponent suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the three of them whole!

"what?!"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

The moment they were swallowed, a strong gust of wind followed, forcibly pushing them and the surrounding fish downwards at high speed.

"Senpai, Hina, are you alright?!"

"fine!"

"I'm fine too!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Amano Hina responded loudly.

The current situation suddenly brought back memories of being swallowed by the Naraku Insects to Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind, which were very similar to the current situation.

However, compared to then, Fujimaru Ritsuka does not sense any danger now, so she has not made any reaction for the time being.

Rather than being swallowed, it's more like entering some kind of passage...

"Wait, it seems like we're somewhere here!"

Suddenly, Hina Amano exclaimed again, because a light suddenly appeared beneath their feet, like the exit they had seen after entering a tunnel.

The blinding light made the three of them close their eyes involuntarily. When they opened their eyes again, the surrounding environment had changed dramatically once more!

Come spicy!

Chapter 360 The Gods Aren't Home Today?

"here……?!"

The scene before them was so dreamlike that Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two widened their eyes.

The sea of ​​clouds that was originally beneath their feet had now appeared above their heads, and they had fallen from the sea of ​​clouds above them.

But unlike the dark, gloomy sea of ​​clouds beneath their feet, the sea of ​​white clouds above them was now a gentle, soft expanse of clouds.

The light in the space also became brighter. The originally dark and chaotic surroundings had now turned into the familiar azure sky, with the scorching and dazzling sun hanging quietly on the horizon.

Besides the sea of ​​white clouds above them, there was also a sea of ​​clouds beneath their feet. The two seas of clouds seemed to completely separate the space they were in, forming an independent world.

A world that exists in the sky, completely different from human society.

What's even more astonishing is that in this isolated world, clusters of cumulus clouds float silently in mid-air, and the tops of these clouds reveal patches of tender green.

"That's... a lawn?!"

Upon closer inspection, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two were shocked to discover that what they saw were actually patches of grass, and the cumulus clouds resembled floating islands in the sky.

"...Go and take a look?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two exchanged glances, flew towards a sky island, and then carefully landed on the grass at the top.

Standing on the lawn, what comes into view is a vibrant green lawn full of life and beautiful, unnamed wildflowers. Schools of fish, formed by water, dart among the wildflowers like little bees. Further away, there are islands made of clouds and a blue sky.

Everything seemed so beautiful and dreamlike, a stark contrast to the terrifying and oppressive space from before, making one feel dazed.

Are we standing on the grass or on the clouds?

Feeling the solid ground beneath her feet, Hina Amano was somewhat incredulous. The fantastical ecosystem before her, so different from anything she had ever imagined, made her murmur involuntarily:

"Are we going to heaven?"

"Well, you never know."

As Fujimaru Ritsuka habitually took out her phone to take a picture, she smiled and chimed in.

Although it's just speculation, perhaps they were only on the outer edge of the divine realm before, and now they have truly arrived inside the divine realm.

Mashu couldn't help but crouch down, gently touching the grass and wildflowers on the ground. She saw that beneath the grass wasn't soil, but a white mist, and exclaimed in amazement:

"These are indeed plants that belong to the biological category, but the land they are rooted in is indeed clouds, or rather, cloud land?"

"What an amazing ecosystem!"

"However, these clouds are probably not the water vapor clouds we know, are they?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked her chin, guessing, then smiled and said:

"If Leonardo da Vinci were here, he probably wouldn't be able to resist starting to study it right away."

"But that's not why we're here today."

As she spoke, she looked around again, but apart from the dreamlike and picturesque scenery, she still did not see any trace of the gods.

"What exactly is going on? Why haven't they shown up yet?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek, somewhat puzzled. After arriving in the Divine Realm, they made no attempt to conceal their presence. They had been acting rather blatantly, if not cautiously. In any case, the other party should have noticed their presence.

Does he not want to meet them? But if that's the case, why let them enter the divine realm?

"Could that deity be asleep?"

Unable to understand, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only mutter a small complaint before looking at Amano Hina and saying:

"Can you sense the presence of that deity?"

Since the other party isn't contacting them, they have no choice but to try taking the initiative.

Amano Hina is the shrine maiden chosen by the other party, much like the relationship between a Master and a Servant. There should be some kind of connection and connection between them, and perhaps Amano Hina can help them find each other.

"Ah, I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Hina Amano closed her eyes again and clasped her hands together in front of her chest in a prayer-like gesture.

After a long while, under their gazes, she slowly opened her eyes, shook her head, and said:

"I'm sorry, I can't sense the other person's presence."

"Huh, can't you sense it?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat surprised, as this sounded rather illogical.

"Actually, how should I put it..."

However, then, Hina Amano hesitated and said:

"Rather than saying I can't sense the existence of the gods, it's more accurate to say that all I can sense is this sky."

"This……"

After listening to Amano Hina's speech, Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, but for a moment she couldn't think of any clues.

So she subconsciously looked at Mashu, only to find that Mashu was also frowning. Noticing her gaze, Mashu shook her head, indicating that she was also temporarily unable to figure out what was going on.

This led to a stalemate.

They wanted to solve Tokyo's unusual weather and the problems with Hina Amano, but if they couldn't even find the gods themselves, then these problems were naturally out of the question.

But how can we find each other?

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly took two steps forward, and under the astonished gazes of Amano Hina and Mashu, put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly:

"Master Yasui no Kanekami, are you home?!"

"Hey—! Deity—!"

"Ritsuka, what are you doing?!"

Amano Hina's eyes instantly turned to terror, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions, saying in a panic:

"This is so disrespectful to the gods! What if we anger them?!"
