Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's agreement, Guy Adam immediately smiled and said:

"Mom, could you temporarily take over the Paramita Space for me, just like last time, and perhaps even temporarily assume the position of the God of the Underworld?"

"……what?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suspects there might be something wrong with her ears.

What do you mean? You're making her the goddess of the underworld?!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 397 I, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Goddess of the Underworld

"...But why?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't quite understand why she was being made the goddess of the underworld.

Moreover, is it really necessary?

Ereshkigal said that the Paramita Space is an automatically running reincarnation system, and it would be perfectly fine even if no one managed it, right?

"Because I think this is fine."

Gaia chuckled:

"Moreover, if any abnormal beings like Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko appear again in the future, you can deal with them directly, Mom."

"That's not entirely wrong..."

Upon hearing Gaia's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in deep agreement, but quickly realized that something seemed amiss—

No, isn't this just making her work for free?!

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze towards Gaia suddenly became somewhat pained, like a mother discovering that her child has gone astray.

—At that moment, she suddenly understood Tiamat's feelings.

Of course, the two situations are slightly different.

"Mother--"

Realizing his little scheme had been seen through, Gaia immediately switched to Plan B, snuggling up to her arm and pleading pitifully:

"After all, I don't have anyone else available right now, so only you, Mom, can help me."

"If all else fails, how about having Shinichi Kudo assist you?"

"That's not necessary."

Fujimaru Ritsuka promptly declined the suggestion.

To have Shinichi Kudo as his assistant?

Isn't this just adding to her workload?!

Finally, seeing Gaia's pitiful eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed and nodded in agreement.

"……All right."

There's nothing I can do, she's my own daughter, so if I think about it that way, it's not like I'm working for nothing... right?

Fujimaru Ritsuka comforted herself in her heart.

Composing herself, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to ask:

"Then what to do next?"

Gaia laughed:

"Don't worry, this time it'll be very simple."

……

...

Paramita space.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into a deep sleep, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The waiting time for everyone wasn't long, but for Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko, who were directly involved, it was a little agonizing.

At this moment, Fukami Natsuhiko looked at Ereshkigal, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak:

"Excuse me... could it be that you are the goddess of the underworld in Sumerian mythology?"

"Ok?"

Ereshkigal raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised, and said:

"You know me?"

This statement was tantamount to a tacit admission. Although he was somewhat prepared, upon confirmation, Fukami Natsuhiko still felt a sense of disbelief and responded somewhat bewildered:

"Yes, I know a little about Sumerian mythology, so, that..."

He hadn't even thought about how to continue the conversation, and his mind was a complete mess, unsure of what to do.

"Um..."

Fortunately, at that moment, a confused groan interrupted their conversation, and Ereshkigal's gaze and attention were instantly drawn to it, which made Fukami Natsuhiko breathe a sigh of relief.

As Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly opened her eyes, Mashu smiled and said:

"Welcome back, senior."

"I am back."

Somewhat reluctantly, Fujimaru Ritsuka propped herself up from Mashu's lap, and responded with a smile.

But at this moment, Ereshkigal, who was also concerned about Fujimaru Ritsuka, frowned slightly.

In her vision, Fujimaru Ritsuka, after waking up, suddenly became incredibly harmonious with this space, even to the point of feeling as if she had merged into one with it. This was as if—

That's how she was when she was in her own underworld.

So she couldn't help but ask:

"Ritsuka, something seems to have changed about you. What exactly happened just now?"

"Eh, senior?"

Hearing Ereshkigal's words, Mash and Lianhua also looked over with some concern.

"As expected, you can't hide anything from Ellie."

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed helplessly:

"Well... for various reasons, Gaia put me in charge of this place temporarily."

"That's like being an agent of the god of the underworld."

“…Eh?” ×n

"Eh—?!?" ×n

Because Fujimaru Ritsuka's tone was so nonchalant, everyone was stunned. When they came to their senses, they all exclaimed in shock.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Ereshkigal panicked and grabbed her shoulders again, asking incredulously:

"What's going on this time!?"

"Weren't you going to Gaia to discuss how to break the curse?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said somewhat embarrassedly:

"So, it's because of all sorts of reasons..."

"But no matter what, this is too sudden!"

Who said no.

Fujimaru Ritsuka wore an expression of deep agreement.

On the other side, Mashu quickly calmed down and asked:

"Could it be that it's like the situation in Yashinaga's divine realm before?"

"Hmm... this time is a little different."

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head, while Ereshkigal looked even more bewildered, not understanding what they were talking about.

Seeing this, she removed Ereshkigal's hand from her shoulder and smiled:

"Let's talk about the details later; we need to solve the immediate problem first."

As she said this, she looked again at the lotus flower and Fukami Natsuhiko in front of her.

Having been given the power of the [Curse] again by Gaia, this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka could clearly see the traces of the curse etched deep in their souls.

Then, she walked towards Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko.

As the guardian of "Reason", Lotus controls the Mirror of All Things, which is one of the entrances to the Paramita space.

Therefore, she felt the changes in Fujimaru Ritsuka even more strongly than Ereshkigal, and as she watched the other party approach, she swallowed hard.

By this point, the situation had completely exceeded her expectations.

You must understand, this is where reason resides, the border between life and death!

Her ability to accidentally master the Kaleidoscope is already an unrepeatable miracle, and becoming the controller of the Paramita Space is by no means an easy thing to do, no matter how you look at it.

She couldn't understand how Fujimaru Ritsuka did it, and it looked so easy, as if she hadn't put in any effort at all.

However, before she could figure anything out, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already arrived in front of them, smiling and spreading her hands out to them:

"Please give me your hand."

"Yes."

Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko exchanged a hesitant glance, but finally nodded and carefully placed their hands on it.

The next moment, a faint light emanated from the edges of the three of them. At the same time, Renka and Fukami Natsuhiko suddenly felt something inside their bodies quietly disintegrate, followed by an unprecedented sense of ease, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

The light quickly dissipated, and Fujimaru Ritsuka lowered their hands, smiling as she said:
