Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Oh, is it already this time?"

Mashu ended the conversation with a hint of lingering interest, and was slightly surprised to find that it was already late at night.

Then, noticing that Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyelids were already starting to droop, she unconsciously smiled and said:

"Let's stop here for today. Goodnight, senior."

"I have to go to work at school tomorrow."

When Mashu brought this up, a hint of anticipation crept into her voice, after all, it was a real middle school campus.

"OK, good night."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's tone was already a little drowsy, but before she completely fell asleep, she looked at Mashu in front of her and suddenly remembered something, so she chose to get out of her own bed and crawl into Mashu's bed.

"Eh?"

Soft, orange-red hair was right in front of her, and beneath it, Fujimaru Ritsuka's delicate and lovely face filled Mashu's entire field of vision. Warm breath gently touched her skin, and her familiar scent gradually seeped into her nostrils.

"Senior?"

Mashu opened her eyes wide in shock, instantly becoming much more alert, and even her body stiffened again.

But she soon noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were closed, her breathing had become calm and even, and her body was rising and falling slightly, clearly indicating that she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Mashu felt a little disappointed upon seeing this, but gazing at Fujimaru Ritsuka's peaceful sleeping face, she smiled again and whispered:

"Good night, senior."

……

...

Although she went to bed a little late the night before, Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up this morning feeling refreshed because she slept very well.

After washing up, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu left their room and went to the dining room to meet up with the others.

Good morning, everyone.

"Good morning."

After exchanging pleasantries, Renka, who was wearing a sailor uniform again, nodded slightly to the two of them, which caught Fukami Natsuhiko's attention.

After all, Lianhua was quite wary of them yesterday, but suddenly became friendly after just one night, which was obviously unusual.

When faced with Fukami Natsuhiko's questioning gaze, Renka also gestured with her eyes that she would talk to him later.

Aside from Fukami Natsuhiko, Kouji Akira and Tsukigaoka Kaoru, who were also completely unaware of what happened last night, were discussing their investigation plan for today.

"correct,"

Huang Gongxiao suddenly said:

"After school today, I plan to go to the shrine that Fukami mentioned yesterday."

Anyone want to join?

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who knew the truth, was moved and exchanged a glance with him without leaving a trace.

"Shrine?"

Tsukigaki Kaoren looked on with interest and smiled as she replied:

"I'd like to go see it too. By the way, is Professor Xia Yan going?"

"Well, I don't have anything else to do anyway..."

Just as Fukami Natsuhiko was about to nod in agreement, Renka suddenly spoke up:

"There is no shrine in Medicine Pot Township."

"The shrine thing was just a joke we made, I don't think anyone took it seriously, right?"

"Eh?"

Fukami Natsuhiko was taken aback by her words and looked at Renka with some confusion, not understanding why she would say that.

They definitely went to the shrine on the mountaintop yesterday, didn't they?

On the other side, after hearing Lianhua's words, Huang Gongxiao and Yueqiu Xianglian were slightly dazed, then laughed as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Was it a joke? I've really been fooled."

"I see, the shrine doesn't exist..."

The two accepted Renka's explanation with unusual obedience, and continued to chat about other things without taking it seriously, never mentioning the shrine again.

After breakfast, I went back to my room to pack up before heading to school.

Huang Gongxiao, Yueqiu Xianglian, and Nanfang Rihe got up and left first. After they left, Renhua asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Is it okay to handle it this way?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and smiled:

"Well, that's fine."

Huang Gongxiao and Yueqiu Xianglian are people who have absolutely no connection to these mysterious events, so there is no need to involve them in this field.

"Eh?"

Watching the interaction between Renka and Fujimaru Ritsuka, Fukami Natsuhiko was stunned again, even more confused than before.

So he asked cautiously:

"Renka, Ritsuka-san, what's going on here...?"

Seeing Fukami Natsuhiko's performance, Fujimaru Ritsuka said to Renka with some surprise:

"Didn't you tell him about what happened last night?"

"not yet."

Lianhua shook her head, then looked at Fukami Natsuhiko, whose curiosity had reached its peak, and sighed helplessly:

"...If you really want to know, I'll tell you everything."

"However, this is not a story that can be told in just a few words."

So the two of them left the restaurant, leaving only Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance and smiled:

"Let's go too."

"Ah."

After a while, the group reunited and set off for the private Sansakura Academy.

Leveraging Huang Gongxiao's status as a renowned mystery novelist, the school principal warmly received them.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu also became students at the school for a day, listening to Koukou Akira's special lessons, or rather lectures, while conducting investigations at the school.

During this time, they also met Nanayama Moeshika again at school, but she had lost her memories of the past and had become an ordinary student.

Of course, for Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, the real purpose of coming to the school was to cleanse the remnants of the curse cast by the fox girl.

This is not a difficult thing.

During lunch break, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others went to the rooftop. She infused her magic into the mane of the Phantom Warhorse, expanding the purification range to the entire campus. Although this weakened the purification effect, it was more than enough to clear away the remnants of the curse.

The next moment, the curses on the students on campus were instantly wiped away, and Fujimaru Ritsuka snapped her fingers with a smile:

"It's done."

Come spicy!

Chapter 390 The Guardian of Reason, Lotus

"Studying, sports, socializing, etiquette, and interest groups..."

As the day drew to a close, Mashu, still in high spirits, said:

"As expected of a prestigious girls' school that aims to cultivate ladies, the curriculum is indeed very comprehensive!"

"Yes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement, then chuckled and said:

"But my favorite time is still lunch break and free time after class."

"Speaking of lunch break, I have to say there's a slight regret."

Mashu said seriously:

"It feels like something's missing from campus life that we can't eat together on the roof of the teaching building."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly:

"There's nothing we can do; that's just how the school rules are. At least the food in the cafeteria tastes pretty good."

"indeed."

Hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka say that, Mashu laughed again:

"The miso soup was also very good... and the feeling of everyone eating together was just like being back in the dining hall at Chaldea."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about the hellish scene at Chaldea's dining hall during mealtimes, which resembled a battlefield, and scratched her cheek somewhat embarrassedly, saying:

"I think that statement is a little offensive to the school's cafeteria and students."

"Eh?"

……

Overhearing their conversation, the others were slightly concerned. Suddenly, Tsukigaki Kaoren asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, what do Ritsuka and Mashu do? You two don't seem to be students, do you?"

"Well..."

There was no need to hide this issue, so Fujimaru Ritsuka once again took out the agency's business card and handed it to Koukou Akatsuki and Tsukigaoka Karen.

"Chaldea Mystery Agency... Hmm, that sounds pretty impressive!"
