Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Suddenly, a slightly frivolous male voice rang out. The three turned to look at the source of the voice and saw a handsome young man in a magnificent white robe emerge from behind a large tree. He smiled at them and said:

"Although I feel bad about deceiving a child, the opponent is Enkidu, who is also the direct subordinate of the Magic King. It is understandable that he has to use some despicable means to survive."

Beside him stood a cloaked figure, quietly standing by.

Unlike Gudako, who concealed her appearance very well, they could see that the other person had a delicate and cute face under the cloak, and was a petite little girl.

Most importantly, both of them possess the aura of a Servant.

Based on the other party's statement, Gudao hesitated for a moment and said:

"So, you saved us?"

"Yes, that's right!"

The young man readily admitted it, revealing a smug smile as he said:

"I rescued you at the most critical moment, and I hope you will express your gratitude to me in abundance!"

Having never encountered a Servant with this kind of personality before, Gudao and Mashu were momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, but they still sincerely thanked him:

"Yes, thank you so much for your help!"

"Not bad, not bad, very good, that's the normal reaction."

The man nodded slightly in satisfaction, then turned to the little girl accompanying him and asked with a smile:

"Right, Anna?"

The little girl, Anna, didn't answer, but only gave her a disdainful look.

But just then, Fou climbed onto Gudao's shoulder, her whole body poised to pounce, and then—

"Fou—! Merlin deserves to die, Fou—!"

"Wufu—thump!"

Fufu's attack hit the man's face precisely, knocking him to the ground. Not only that, after knocking him to the ground, Fufu jumped onto his face and continued to attack.

"Fufu?!"×2

"What are you doing, you ferocious beast!"

"Have you even forgotten the kindness I showed you over the years, you bastard, you bastard!"

"Fu, Fu-woo!"

"Damn it, I should never have adopted a beast like you, Casey Palug! You fearsome cat of calamity!"

"How many chubby-faced fans have you charmed with your adorable looks! Just because you're cute, you get the adoration of rich ladies? How despicable...!"

On the other side, Gudao and Mashu were both stunned by Fou's actions.

However, seeing the man and beast wrestling on the ground, the intensity of their fight was probably only at the level of kindergarten children fighting, leaving them unsure whether they should stop them or not.

Finally, the man's companion, Anna, sighed helplessly and said:

"Please do this kind of abnormal behavior and shameful act alone in the middle of the night."

In other words, don't embarrass yourself in front of so many people.

Hearing Anna's words, Fou stopped what she was doing and jumped back onto Mashu's shoulder. The man, with his face scratched, laughed:

"Thanks to you, Fuanna is finally saved."

Anna said in a calm tone:

"Instead of expressing gratitude, it would be better for you to reflect on your actions."

"Haha, you're really strict."

The man stood up again and smiled at Gudao and Mashu:

"Okay, let's all introduce ourselves."

“I am Merlin, and as you can see, I am a Servant. This girl is Anna, and she is also a Servant.”

"plum……?!"

At that moment, Roman's surprised voice suddenly rang out, but it was immediately drowned out by Merlin's voice—

"Please don't be shy, just call me Merlin. And Anna, what would you like to be called?"

"...It doesn't matter, just call me Anna."

"Wait, you guys wait a minute—!"

"doctor?"

Finally, Roman's loud shout interrupted Merlin's monologue. Under the astonished gazes of Gudao and Mashu, he questioned incredulously:

"You said you were Merlin?"

"That great magician from the British Isles, a half-human, half-sleep demon, who crowned Artoria Pendragon as king, one of the world's most outstanding king-maker and top-tier good-for-nothings, that Grand-rank magician who will never die until the end of the world?!"

Roman, who was now out of breath, finally stopped talking, and Gudao, embarrassed, said:

"You said so much in one go..."

"Uh-huh!"

On the other side, Merlin nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Haha, as expected, thank you very much, Romani Archman."

"However, I only have the qualifications of a Grand rank; at present, I am just an ordinary Caster."

"That's impossible! You're definitely a fake!"

Roman's emotions inexplicably became somewhat agitated, and he continued his accusations:

"Besides, even if it were true, this man would be completely useless in combat!"

Upon hearing this, Gudao asked with some confusion:

"Why are you so agitated, doctor?"

"Um, I..."

Realizing he had misspoke, Roman fell silent instantly.

Fujimaru Ritsuka silently observed all of this, watching Roman frantically teeter on the edge of self-destruction, and a slight smile crept onto her lips hidden beneath her cloak.

Come to think of it, she hadn't quite understood why Fou always beat up Merlin whenever she saw him.

She later learned that before coming to Chaldea, Fou had lived in Avalon with Merlin for a period of time.

But one day, Merlin told Fou to go outside and "encounter truly beautiful things," and then threw her directly off his Quiet Tower.

It is said that the tower is about twenty stories high.

At that time, Fou was very weak. Merlin dropped her from such a high place and she almost died, becoming the most pathetic beast to die in history.

Therefore, after that throw, Fou harbored a grudge against Merlin.

Back to the point.

Since Dr. Roman suddenly fell silent, Leonardo da Vinci temporarily took his place and returned to the previous question—

"Logically speaking, Merlin, you should still be in Avalon, right?"

As Roman just said, Merlin is a magician who will never die until the end of the world, which means he should still be alive right now.

Living people cannot be summoned as Servants.

This is where they began to suspect Merlin.

Come spicy!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 410 Gudako-san is a magician from the Age of Gods?

"That is indeed the case normally."

Upon hearing this, Merlin smiled and explained:

"However, this singularity is the era before my birth, which means that I myself do not exist in this era, so it can be assumed that I am 'dead'."

"And as a 'dead', I can certainly be summoned as a Servant."

"So they used such a clever trick?"

After pondering for a moment, Leonardo da Vinci accepted his explanation, because theoretically, this method was indeed feasible.

On the other side, after confirming Merlin's identity as Caster, Gudao and Mashu subconsciously looked at Gudako beside them.

Noticing their gazes, Merlin looked over as well and asked with a smile:

"Speaking of which, this Servant doesn't seem to have introduced herself yet."

After a moment of silence, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"My name is Gudako, and I'm also a Caster."

"However, compared to the famous Merlin, my abilities are far inferior."

The appearance of Merlin and Anna was not too unexpected for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After all, Merlin possesses the ability to see the entire present, so finding them wouldn't be difficult.

Her only worry was whether the other party had seen through her disguise.

……I think should not be?

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought to herself.

After all, the disguise magic engraved on the cloak she was wearing came from Merlin of Chaldea, where she was.

According to the other party, the disguise he applied was so effective that even he himself had difficulty seeing through it. Therefore, in theory, Merlin from the parallel world should not have been able to see through it so easily.

However, after hearing her self-introduction, Merlin did not inquire about her identity, but simply smiled smugly:

“That’s true, after all, there aren’t many magicians who can hold the title of ‘Grand’.”

...His personality remains as awful as ever.
