Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Does this count as a success?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head, momentarily at a loss for words.

More importantly, from the results, there is no difference in the abilities of the two possession methods; it is only a matter of which side has the control of the body. But in reality, this is not the case.

One is using one's own abilities, but the output may be limited by the physical limitations of the body; while the other is using abilities borrowed from others, which requires a great deal of effort to truly master, let alone use freely.

So she thought for a moment and asked herself:

'Speaking of which, Gaia, since you're inside my body, are you able to take control of it?'

'...It doesn't seem like that will work.'

When this matter was brought up, Gaia's tone was once again filled with grievance.

At the moment of successful possession, she did exactly as Fujimaru Ritsuka had instructed, but for some reason, she was unable to do so.

‘That’s it. ’

'I'm sorry, Mom. It's probably because I'm too weak after all.'

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and sensing her emotions, Gaia felt guilty, her voice even starting to tremble with tears.

"It's alright, it's alright. You did a great job. This isn't your fault."

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly comforted her, then smiled and said:

'However, I might need you to teach me how to use your power.'

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, Gaia quickly perked up and then solemnly promised:

Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely teach you well.

'And I think I already know what to do.'

'Huh, really?!'

Fujimaru Ritsuka was both surprised and delighted, while Gaia affirmed with some pride:

'Really? Although I'm weak, I'm very clever!'

But then, she hesitated and said:

'But doing that might require a lot of energy, Mom, the magic power within you right now...'

Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed upon hearing this.

Don't worry, there's plenty of magic!

"If that's the case, then..."

So Gaia began to explain to Fujimaru Ritsuka how to solve the problem, and Fujimaru Ritsuka listened and nodded from time to time.

However, her behavior seemed somewhat strange to Mash and the others.

After exchanging a glance, Mashu finally couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Um... Senior, are you really alright?"

Come spicy!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 368 Completely resolved, absorbed!

"……So this is ah."

After hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's explanation, Mash and Tenochtitlan finally understood.

Only Amano Hina, who was standing to the side, became more and more confused as she listened, completely baffled.

She could understand each word—Gaia, Possession—but when put together, she had no idea what they were talking about.

So, Hina Amano could only ask, half-understanding:

"So, in short, is there a solution?"

"It can be said like this."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded in response, then looked at the three of them and said:

"Then, Mashu, Tenochtitlan, I'll leave Hina in your care from now on."

"Yes, we will definitely protect Hina-san."

Mashu nodded emphatically in agreement, then smiled and asked with concern:

"Senior, please don't push yourself too hard."

Tenochtitlan crossed his arms and said:

"In any case, as my priest, taking care of me is your top priority. And that's contingent on ensuring your own survival first, right?"

"Well, I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and agreed, then turned to look at the peaceful divine realm before her, opened the [Treasury of the Subject], and took out a golden Holy Grail.

At the same time, she spoke in her mind:

'Gaia, I'm ready.'

'Okay, Mom, let's begin!'

And so, under the watchful eyes of Matthew and the other two, Fujimaru Ritsuka took a few steps forward, rose up in the gentle breeze, and hovered in mid-air, taking in the entire landscape of the divine realm.

Immediately afterwards, as the magical power within her surged, a strange power fluctuation that did not belong to Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly erupted!

An invisible wave radiated outwards from Fujimaru Ritsuka at an extremely fast speed, instantly passing over Mash and the others, and covering the entire Divine Realm in the blink of an eye.

The world fell silent instantly.

"This is?!"

This fluctuation had no real power, just like a gentle breeze, but the moment it pierced through them, Mashu and the others felt an extremely vast and boundless aura, and their minds even went blank for a moment, unable to think.

This feeling is like facing the whole world alone.

Faced with such an aura, no matter what kind of being it is, it will only feel its own insignificance.

Moreover, this fluctuation was very similar to the fleeting aura that Mashu had just sensed on Fujimaru Ritsuka—

Gazing at Fujimaru Ritsuka's retreating figure in the sky, Mash murmured to herself:

"That is the power of Earth's consciousness...!"

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's hair and clothes were flying wildly under the surging magic, and the aura of the planet itself was exuded, making her appear sacred and inviolable, like a god.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka herself calmly closed her eyes.

The moment she unleashed Gaia's power, her soul seemed to leave her body, her perspective instantly magnified infinitely, no longer confined to what was before her, no longer confined to the divine realm, no longer confined to Japan...

When the scene before my eyes returned, the first thing that caught my eye was a small, pitted sphere, a huge, radiant, hot sphere in the distance, and the vast, boundless universe.

What am I doing... ?

Fujimaru Ritsuka stared blankly at everything before her, unable to think, unable to think at all. Then, she subconsciously looked down and saw a vibrant, azure planet.

This is Earth?

Am I, Earth?

……No.

I am... a human...

I am……

Fujimaru Ritsuka.

'Mother!'

Fujimaru Ritsuka gradually regained consciousness, and finally, accompanied by Gaia's call from within her heart, her vision shrank rapidly once again, and she returned to the divine realm in an instant.

At this moment, she lowered her head, and her own body was clearly visible.

'Mommy, Mommy! ......'

Gaia's anxious call came again, and she immediately snapped out of her daze and quickly responded:

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

'You finally responded to me!'

Seeing this, Gaia finally breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but complain:

"You weren't responding to me, and I thought something had happened."

I'm sorry I made you worry.

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied apologetically, then couldn't help but recall the mysterious state she had just experienced.

But upon closer reflection, it seems I can't remember anything at all.

"It's alright, really. As long as you're okay."

Having received Fujimaru Ritsuka's apology, Gaia quickly regained her smile and continued:

Let's deal with the immediate problem first.

indeed.

Reminded by Gaia, Fujimaru Ritsuka refocused her attention on the present and used her abilities as instructed by Gaia to observe the divine realm before her once again.

This time, the entire divine realm was clearly displayed before them, not only its interior but also its exterior, as well as its ambiguous relationship with the Earth—all were revealed without reservation!

If you shift your gaze slightly, you can also see Ai Haibara and the others waiting on the rooftop of the abandoned building at the entrance connecting the divine realm and reality.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Conan, who was waiting idly, suddenly looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression.

Seeing Conan's unusual behavior, Ai Haibara asked:

"what happened?"
