Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"In that case, let's call it a night."

After their conversation, the Chaldea group had a general understanding of their mission: to explore the Holy Grail left behind by the Magic King in this era, protect humanity, and defeat the "Three Goddess Alliance."

The singularity cannot be eliminated unless the Holy Grail is retrieved;

If the Three Goddess Alliance is not defeated, humanity will still be destroyed once all of humanity has been slaughtered.

These two tasks are of equal importance.

Merlin laughed:

"Let's all rest for now, and set off for Uruk after dawn."

"Once we see the king, we'll know what to do next."

"Yes."

Gudao and Mashu nodded in agreement and prepared to rest.

However, before going to sleep, Gudao subconsciously looked at the location where Fujimaru Ritsuka was and felt a little regretful.

He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her, especially the things Gudako said to him during the battle with the fake Enkidu that day, which made him inexplicably very concerned.

The Shadow of the Spirit Origin... what exactly is that?

"Um..."

"...Am I...asleep?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly opened her dazed eyes, sat up from the ground, and searched for her recent memories, still feeling a little confused.

Actually, she originally planned to take the opportunity that night to have a good chat with Gudao, such as finding out about the situation of Chaldea in this world, and their journey.

But before she could even take any action, a sudden wave of intense drowsiness washed over her, causing her to fall asleep against her will.

Was it Merlin's doing?

Because of Merlin's presence, she couldn't help but think of him first.

But after taking a clear look at her surroundings, she immediately dismissed this guess and found her answer—

This is a blue world. A huge moon hangs high in the night sky, surrounded by beautiful blue flowers that reflect a cool light under the moonlight. In the distance, a magnificent castle stands under the night sky, like a dream.

"—Welcome to my thousand-year-old castle, Master."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tea table set up among the flowers. Arcueid was sitting at the tea table, nodding slightly to her and giving her an elegant smile.

"Princess!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up immediately, and she happily walked over to the other person. After sitting down opposite her, she couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly is going on now?"

Instead of answering her question immediately, the princess countered with:

"You've already met the Chaldea group from this world, haven't you? What do you think of them?"

"Well, how should I put it..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and said:

"Since I haven't been in contact with them for very long, it's too early to give a proper evaluation."

"Is that so? Then let me ask you another question."

The princess asked again:

Do you think they can make it to the end?

"This one……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into deep thought.

Although she doesn't know much about Chaldea in this world, she has learned so far that Gudao in this world is missing something that is most important to them: the Spirit Origin Shadow.

After careful consideration, she realized that if the purpose was merely to deal with the crisis of human reason being burned by Goetia, the role of the Spirit Origin Shadow was indeed not that significant.

Because during this period she was unable and often did not need to play a decisive role in battle, her role was more reflected in other areas outside of battle.

But what about later...?

"As the Master who has already passed this trial, you should know this better than anyone else, right?"

Seemingly sensing her inner thoughts, the princess said:

"Moreover, it seems that there aren't many permanent Servants in Chaldea of ​​this world."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this news, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally stood up, her face filled with disbelief.

Without any Spirit Origin Shadows to use or any permanent Servants to help, how can we even run a trade fair?

I just jumped right away!

"That's basically the situation here."

The princess calmly took a sip of tea and continued:

"If things continue to develop like this, the state of this world is self-evident. Therefore, the reason we brought you to this world is that we hope you can provide some assistance to Chaldea here as a senior."

"This is a decision made jointly by two worlds."

"Two worlds?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka murmured the princess's words, then asked with some confusion:

"Why me?"

She was quite familiar with the concept of parallel worlds. Not only were Tiamat and Nero, who had returned from parallel worlds, there was also a fallen Gudako from a parallel world in a previous event, who was defeated by them because she was too inhuman.

She was simply curious as to why she had been chosen as this world's helper this time.

"...It just so happens that I chose you."

The princess paused for a moment, then continued:

"In short, I'll leave Chaldea here in your care for now."

"Also, I can give you a little hint: if things go well, there might be a surprise later on!"

Come spicy!

Chapter 412 How to Provide Assistance? Arrival in Uruk

The next day, the group continued their journey toward Uruk.

On the way, Merlin continued to talk about the king they were going to visit, Gilgamesh.

Merlin said with a chuckle:

"Speaking of which, that king was quite an exceptional tyrant among ancient monarchs!"

Gudao said in surprise:

"tyrant?"

"Yes."

Merlin laughed:

"Because he felt the gods were too arrogant, he severed ties with them and seized all the beautiful women in the country and all the treasures in the world for himself. Agreeing with the king's opinion meant death, and disagreeing with it also meant death."

Gudao hesitated for a moment and said:

"Isn't this a bit too unreasonable?"

"Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, was an approachable and wise man in his childhood, but as he grew up, he showed completely opposite traits and became a tyrant that left people helpless."

"In order to restrain his tyranny, the gods created the [Weapon of the Gods] Enkidu, but for some reason, the two became close friends by chance."

"Enkidu..."

Upon hearing this, Gudako thought of the imposter Enkidu he had encountered yesterday.

Merlin laughed:

"Let's leave aside what happened after that... In short, the most arrogant and ruthless tyrant on the earth today is the Hero King Gilgamesh. Just remember that."

Gudao swallowed hard; the other person seemed particularly difficult to get along with.

He started to worry about what would happen when they met again.

However, at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke up:

"But after failing to obtain the elixir, King Gilgamesh returned to his country and once again became a wise and virtuous ruler."

"So, at this point in time, King Gilgamesh is no longer the tyrant he once was?"

"Really?!"

Gudao's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he looked at Merlin beside him, noticing the regretful expression on Merlin's face, a result of his prank failing.

This time, Gudao finally understood just how awful the other person's personality was.

Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into thought again, still thinking about her conversation with the princess the night before.

Although it was said that she was asked for help, it was only told not to go too far, and it seemed that she was free to decide how to help.

So, how exactly should we help?

After careful consideration and analysis, she felt that if Gudao could play his role normally in this singularity, there might not be any need for her combat power.

Of course, if she intervened directly, it would be a simpler and more direct way to end things, but that would not be very beneficial for the growth of Gudao and Mashu in this world, or for the future situation.

What she should really focus on is Gudako himself.

Specifically, this refers to the Spirit Origin Shadow that he lacks, as well as the resident Servants in Chaldea.

Furthermore, since Chaldea in this world doesn't have any resident Servants, then those strange activities and crises, including any help that could be obtained from Servants, are probably out of the question.

As for the possibility of her being able to travel to other worlds, that goes without saying; at least so far, she has not encountered any other version of herself with the same ability.
