Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

The next moment, the lightning dissipated, and the girl's figure reappeared in Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's sight.

But the girl was no longer the magical figure she had been before. The fox phantom had vanished, and the girl lay weakly on the ground. The surrounding sea of ​​flowers had turned to ashes, and the shrine maiden's clothes on her body were covered with scorch marks and holes.

The girl's chest was still rising and falling slightly, proving that she was still alive.

And this is already the result of Fujimaru Ritsuka suppressing the energy in the lightning to the lowest possible level.

Lightning is the most effective force against evil spirits, especially lightning summoned using the power of a god; it is practically a super special attack against evil spirits.

If Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't deliberately suppressed the power, not only would the sea of ​​flowers around the girl be reduced to charcoal, but the girl herself would likely have been reduced to ashes instead of just having her clothes torn.

That would contradict her own beliefs.

Even if the other party makes the first move, she is unwilling to eliminate them without knowing why.

If possible, she wanted to at least understand why the other party hated them so much and wanted to kill them without explanation.

Back to the point.

Seeing that the girl in front of them seemed to have no ability to resist for the time being, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance, nodded, and walked towards the girl together.

In this situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that they might be able to have a proper talk.

At least, after recognizing the power disparity between them, the other side should no longer dare to act as recklessly as before.

But before they could get close to each other, a familiar figure suddenly appeared and blocked their way—

It is a lotus.

"Lord Fujimaru, please wait a moment!"

At this moment, Lianhua's expression was somewhat anxious and nervous, but her tone, address, and attitude were completely different from when she was at the hotel.

"...Lotus?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had mistaken someone for someone else.

"what happened?"

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, Renka trembled slightly, but still nervously began to explain:

"Lord Fujimaru, that girl is just a human girl possessed by resentment. She is innocent. Please do not kill her!"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged glances, then asked helplessly:

Why do you think I want to kill her?

"Am I that bad?"

Good news, Tiamat has been released.

Bad news, I'm out of gems to pull for Nero.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 385 Not going to talk? Then don't talk about it.

Why do you think she would want to kill that girl?

Fujimaru Ritsuka's question made Renka's gaze somewhat indescribable.

After witnessing the terrifying lightning that instantly engulfed the girl, it's hard not to think that way.

"Um..."

Just then, the girl lying on the ground woke up and struggled to open her eyes again.

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, the girl curled up in fear, adopting a defensive posture, and questioned them again in a hateful voice:

"Who exactly are you people?!"

But unlike the disdain she showed when she first questioned him, the girl's tone now carried a hint of fear, yet her eyes still held hostility and hatred.

Fujimaru Ritsuka patiently explained:

"We are just tourists who happened to come here for sightseeing. We just heard that the shrine, which was destroyed many years ago, has suddenly reappeared, so we wanted to investigate the situation. We have no ill intentions."

"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka. You can call me Ritsuka if you don't mind."

"Excuse me, may I know your name?"

"..."

However, after listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's introduction, when it was her turn to answer questions, the girl kept her head down and remained silent, looking completely uncooperative.

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek somewhat awkwardly, and at that moment, Renka suddenly spoke up:

"Her name is Nanayama Moe Shika, at least that's how she introduces herself during the day."

"But judging from the current situation, this might be the name of the human girl she possessed."

"CaiCaiShanMengShiGe?"

Lotus's words immediately drew their attention. Recalling what she had said, Mashu asked:

“Miss Lianhua, you just said that the other party is possessed by resentment… Do you know anything about the other party’s situation?”

Seeing that both of their gazes were fixed on her, Lianhua shook her head slightly, a little nervous, and said:

"I don't know much about the situation."

"I only just realized that the other person was possessed."

For most of the time after her birth, she stayed within the grounds of the Azusa Inn and had almost no interaction with other people.

Therefore, although she had lived here for a long time, she did not know much about the situation in the village.

During the day, after leaving the private Sansakura Academy, she and Fukami Natsuhiko accidentally discovered and entered a shrine illusion created by the other party, where they encountered Nanayama Moeyoka—the girl who attacked Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others.

At that time, she only thought of the other person as an ordinary girl with inspiration.

She was completely unaware that the shrine they were in was merely an illusion created by the other party.

"I only learned the truth about this place because I overheard your conversation, so..."

Lianhua didn't continue speaking, but the meaning she wanted to express was self-evident.

In addition, she appeared here for two reasons: first, she was worried about the safety of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, and second, she also wanted to investigate the situation of the shrine, so she secretly followed them.

But to her surprise, her worries were completely unnecessary.

Forget about worrying about the safety of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu; she was even more worried about the safety of the possessed girl, fearing that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu might accidentally harm innocent people.

Back to the point.

According to Lianhua, apart from realizing that the other party was possessed by resentment, she knew almost nothing else about the other party.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only look at Nanayama Moeyoka again and say:

"Miss Nanayama, don't you really have anything to say?"

"...Do you care about this little girl?"

Nanayama Moe Shika, who had been silently observing the group, seemed to think she had something on them and revealed a malicious smile:

"No matter who you are, if you don't want her to die, get out of my way."

"Don't get in my way!"

"Ugh."

As he spoke, the other person's face contorted into a ferocious expression. Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed helplessly:

"It seems we'll have to resort to a slightly more forceful approach."

"Mash, prepare to summon."

"Yes!"

Mashu placed the cross-shaped round table shield on the ground, somewhat curious about the brutal method Fujimaru Ritsuka had mentioned, as had Renka.

Meanwhile, seeing that Mashu dared to put down her shield, Nanayama Moe immediately prepared to launch another attack.

"Boom--!"

But just as the lingering resentment within her began to seep out, a muffled clap of thunder suddenly echoed through the sky once more!

Nanayama Moe Shika's body trembled with fear, her resentment instantly retreating back into her body. She dared not make any further movements and could only watch helplessly as Fujimaru Ritsuka acted.

After placing the Holy Grail, which serves as the energy source, Fujimaru Ritsuka reopened the [Treasure of the Retainers] and took out the relic for this summoning—

A cute temari ball.

“Declare—!”

The Command Seal shone brightly, and magical power began to surge. As the chanting ended, to the astonishment of Renka and Nanayama Moe, a petite figure appeared out of thin air in front of them.

The newcomer had long white hair, wore a bright red kimono, and had ruby-red eyes. Her face was delicate and lovely, and her figure and attire resembled those of Lianhua.

"The Descendant, Bodao, has come in response to the call!"

The girl feigned seriousness, finished reciting her lines which she had prepared for an unknown amount of time, then couldn't wait to break into a wide smile and throw herself into Fujimaru Ritsuka's arms, happily exclaiming:

"Ritsuka-neechan!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and greeted him, reaching out to ruffle his hair as she said:

"Long time no see, Bodao."

That's right, the Servant she summoned this time was none other than the Wave-Indone, whom she brought back to Chaldea from this world.

Having not seen each other for a while, Hata felt a deep longing for Fujimaru Ritsuka's warmth and scent, and like a cat, he nuzzled her palm before reluctantly parting ways.

At that moment, Mashu also greeted them with a smile:

Good evening, Xiaobodao.

Good evening, Mashu.

After greeting everyone, she looked down at herself, then glanced around, and said with curiosity:

"So this is what it feels like to be summoned?"

This wasn't her first time returning to this world, but it was her first time being summoned here as a Servant, so she was slightly excited.
