Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

The next moment, a dignified and beautiful woman appeared out of thin air in front of them.

The other person was dressed in a black dress, with gorgeous long golden hair cascading down like a waterfall. She held a huge weapon that was taller than herself, and her faint smile was breathtakingly beautiful, like a valiant Valkyrie.

Of course, if Fujimaru Ritsuka knew what Fukami Natsuhiko was thinking, she would definitely laugh and correct him.

The other party was not a Valkyrie, but a genuine goddess, Ereshkigal, the god of the underworld from Sumerian mythology.

"Ritsuka, what's happening now...?"

The moment after appearing in the real world, Ereshkigal cautiously and quickly looked around to make sure there was no obvious danger before turning to Fujimaru Ritsuka, intending to ask about the current situation.

But to her surprise, Fujimaru Ritsuka happily pounced on her.

"Dear Ellie!"

"Why!?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's enthusiastic greeting was clearly unexpected by Ereshkigal. Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka rushing towards her, she hurriedly disarmed herself to avoid accidentally injuring her.

The next moment, she was embraced warmly by Fujimaru Ritsuka, her cheeks flushed red, and she stood there flustered and at a loss, not knowing what to do.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly released her.

"I'm talking about you..."

Feeling the other person's body heat as they left, Ereshkigal, though somewhat reluctant, feigned seriousness and said:

"Although we are irreplaceable friends and Master and Servant, I, as a goddess, also have my own stance and dignity."

"So, um, isn't your attitude towards me a little too casual? I mean, um..."

Although she really wanted to emphasize her goddess-like majesty, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile, she couldn't bring herself to say it. She became awkward and, finally, gave up, said:

"...Never mind, just forget what I just said."

"Okay, dear Ellie!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded quickly with a playful laugh, and as the smile on her face grew more pronounced, Ereshkigal suddenly began to suspect that she was deliberately flirting with her.

Forget it.

Her intuition told her that she couldn't think about this too much, otherwise her dignified and stern goddess dignity would really be in jeopardy (sad).

At that moment, Mashu greeted him with a smile:

“Miss Ereshkigal, thank you for your help this time as well.”

"It's Mashu."

Ereshkigal nodded slightly in acknowledgment. They were friends who had known each other since the Mesopotamian Singularity, so there was no need for them to exchange pleasantries.

In short, as long as Mashu stays by Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, there's no need to worry too much about Fujimaru Ritsuka's safety.

So the conversation finally got back on track, and Ereshkigal asked:

"So, what exactly is the reason I was summoned here?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained to her:

"Is such that……"

Come spicy!

My wife is back again!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 394 Solving the problem is simple, but is there a better way?

"...That's right."

After understanding the whole story, Ereshkigal nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and looked at the two clients beside him, namely Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko.

On the other hand, through Fujimaru Ritsuka's conversation with the other party, they realized that the girl in front of them was likely the one who could truly solve their problems.

Therefore, they unconsciously became nervous when faced with Ereshkigal's scrutiny.

Moreover, in this life, as a ghost story writer, Fukami Natsuhiko not only has some knowledge of domestic and foreign ghost stories, but also of myths from various regions.

If he remembered correctly, Ereshkigal... seemed to be the name of the goddess of the underworld in Sumerian mythology.

...It can't be true..., right?

In the brief moment he was lost in thought, Ereshkigal had already turned his gaze back and said:

“The souls of the two of you are indeed somewhat unusual.”

"So, you intend to destroy this special characteristic and dissipate normally like ordinary souls, is that right?"

Ereshkigal's casual tone, as if he were saying 'what should we eat later,' seemed to carry a certain meaning. Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko exchanged a glance, both reading a hint of expectation in each other's eyes.

So, Fukami Natsuhiko cautiously asked:

"Excuse me, can you help us?"

Ereshkigal nodded matter-of-factly:

"If it's just to this extent, then of course it's possible."

"Really, really?!"

Lianhua's voice trembled slightly, conveying a profound sense of disbelief.

This was a problem that had troubled them for thousands of years, yet Ereshkigal spoke of it so casually, as if it were a trivial matter like eating and drinking. This stark contrast made her feel a sense of unreality.

Hearing the other person's doubtful words, Ereshkigal frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but her attention was quickly drawn to Fujimaru Ritsuka's delighted question—

"Aileen, do you already know what their problems are?!"

However, when faced with this question, Ereshkigal shook his head and said:

"No, I don't know why their souls are like this, but I don't need to know."

"Eh?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's puzzled look, she patiently explained:

"It's like how people in ancient times didn't understand the nature of buoyancy, but that didn't stop them from using buoyancy to build ships and sail at sea; the two are not contradictory."

"Similarly, although I don't know what caused their souls to be different, I know how to solve it."

"That's it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded knowingly, then asked curiously:

"What to do?"

"All you need to do is cause destruction."

When talking about his area of ​​expertise, Ereshkigal tossed his hair, revealing a confident smile, and said:

"Destruction is always much easier than creation. It might be difficult to turn an ordinary soul into one like them, but the reverse is easy for me."

"Sounds like it's very powerful."

Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in admiration, though she didn't quite understand what she was saying, she still gave Ereshkigal a thumbs up and said:

"As expected of Ai Lei!"

"It's nothing, just a very simple measure."

Although he spoke in a very casual tone, Ereshkigal couldn't help but puff out his chest slightly and reveal a proud smile, clearly quite pleased with Fujimaru Ritsuka's praise.

Meanwhile, hearing Ereshkigal's confident tone, Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko finally felt a sense of reality. They exchanged a glance, their faces filled with excitement.

In this life, it seems they can finally be together!

"but,"

Just then, Ereshkigal finally snapped out of Fujimaru Ritsuka's praise and, regaining his senses, said to Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko:

Are you sure you want to do this?

"Isn't there a better solution?"

"A better solution?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned. Mashu quickly recovered and asked:

"Miss Ereshkigal, are you referring to lifting the curse?"

"Yes."

Ereshkigal gave Mash an approving look, nodded, and said to Lianhua and the other two:

"You want to do that simply to break the curse, right? Wouldn't it be better if you could just break the curse directly?"

In her eyes, Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko's special souls were like precious gems. For some reason, destroying them would make her feel inexplicably heartbroken, so she subconsciously gave this suggestion.

But upon hearing her say that, Lianhua's face turned bitter:

"That would be the best if we could do that, but..."

Because they couldn't do it that way, they settled for a method that seemed easier to succeed.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Ereshkigal with some anticipation and said:

"If Ellie is saying this, does it mean there's a solution?!"

Mashu smiled and chimed in:

"As expected, Miss Ereshkigal is always able to help us!"

Upon hearing this, Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko also looked at her with expectant eyes.

"Um, well..."

Seeing the expectant looks in everyone's eyes, Ereshkigal's expression stiffened slightly, feeling somewhat caught in a dilemma.

She did indeed sense the aura of the curse emanating from Lianhua and the other person, but she wasn't particularly skilled in this area.

She had only casually mentioned the suggestion and hadn't intended to solve it herself.

Originally, she thought that since it was a curse related to love, perhaps she could seek help from Kama, the Indian god of love, which should be an area of ​​expertise for him.

In addition, there are Servants in Chaldea who are proficient in curses; you can ask them for advice.
