Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Do you take me for an idiot? This kind of thing is obvious even without clairvoyance!"

"However, I'd like to know where you got your bracelet from?"

"what,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly gripped the lapis lazuli bracelet on her left hand, belatedly realizing what was happening.

The lapis lazuli bracelet was a gift from Gilgamesh of Hergé. It was already full of Uruk style, not to mention that it was engraved with the magic of "The Treasure of the Subject," imitating Gilgamesh's "Gate of Babylon." It was indeed as obvious as it could be.

So, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and decided to answer honestly:

"This lapis lazuli bracelet was a Valentine's Day gift from King Gilgamesh."

"..."

The moment the words were spoken, the entire temple fell into complete silence.

At this moment, Siduri, who was standing to the side, and Gilgamesh himself, who was on the throne, stared at her in disbelief.

Suddenly, a loud 'clang' broke the silence. It turned out that the clay tablet that Gilgamesh had just picked up had slipped uncontrollably and fallen to the ground.

After realizing what had happened, Siduri looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in disbelief and hesitated:

"Although I'm not entirely sure, Valentine's Day... is literally a holiday for lovers, right?"

"Um, so you mean, you and Wang... does that mean I should call you...?"

"No, no, no... Of course not—!!!!!!!!!"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally realized what was happening, her face instantly turning bright red. She frantically shook her head in denial, hastily explaining:

"Although it's Valentine's Day, it's just a gift as a token of friendship!"

"Eh, is that so...?"

Siduri's expression remained hesitant, but then, a burst of wild laughter suddenly erupted from the throne—

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha—!"

"Siduli, you're really confused. Do you really think I would fall for such a little girl?!"

Gilgamesh burst into laughter to cover up his relief, and as he bent down, he discreetly picked up the mud slab from the floor. Then, looking back at Fujimaru Ritsuka, he reprimanded her with displeasure:

"However, what was the meaning behind your eagerness to clarify just now?"

"Are you unhappy about being mistaken for being with me?!"

"..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't answer, but just gave him a speechless look with a blank expression, leaving him to figure it out himself.

Don't you know what kind of personality you have?

Chapter 417 Chaldean Embassy in Uruk

Siduri led the group to a detached clay house and smiled as she addressed them:

"This is the dormitory provided for you."

"Although it is old, the space should be quite spacious. It was originally used as a pub, with the first floor being the public area and the second and third floors being the living space."

Following Siduri into the house, Mashu curiously looked around the common area and said excitedly:

"They actually lent us the whole house...! Thank you, Miss Siduri!"

"Great, Master! This must be the Chaldea Embassy! I never thought that we'd have our own private residence the day after the spirit particles were transferred here!"

"Yes."

Merlin looked around at his surroundings and chuckled:

"Although I have my own room in the Tower of Gods, this place seems more interesting."

"Well then, I'm going to pick a room!"

Watching Merlin walk up to the second floor, Gudao smiled at Anna, who had been silent to the side:

"Should Anna go and take a look too?"

"...No, I don't care..."

Anna instinctively shook her head, but seeing Gudao's smile, she changed her mind and said:

"I understand. After all, we still need to keep an eye on Merlin; that guy has too many shady things to do..."

Upon hearing this, Gudao and Mashu exchanged a smile and prepared to choose their rooms as well. Just then, a familiar voice came from outside—

"I'm back!"

"...Gudako-san?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka reappear before them, Gudao and Mashu were overjoyed and asked with concern:

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, relieved to have survived the ordeal, and said:

"But at least we escaped!"

"Escape?"

-

"Alright, let's end this nonsense."

Gilgamesh waved his hand, steer the conversation back on track, and looked Fujimaru Ritsuka up and down:

"In any case, the fact that you have received my personal reward proves that you are indeed a useful person."

"In that case, Uruk is currently short-staffed. If there are no other issues, then get to work right away!"

"……what?"

-

After hearing about Fujimaru Ritsuka's ordeal, Gudao and Mashu exchanged glances, then asked curiously:

"So, Gudako, were you sent on a mission by King Gilgamesh just now?"

"That's not true."

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand and smiled:

"No matter what, it's not like I'm not even allowed to rest for half a day."

The real problem is that Gilgamesh wants her to live inside the Tower of Gods.

This is clearly an attempt to exploit her labor day and night.

Moreover, although she certainly wanted to help Uruk, her real purpose in coming here was to help Gudao in this world. How could things continue like this?

So she resolutely refused, and after arguing with them, they finally agreed to let her out to live with Gudako and the others.

"Arguing with reason?"

Upon hearing this, Gudao and Mashu immediately felt a deep respect for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Having witnessed firsthand how powerful King Gilgamesh was during the day, they even found it difficult to imagine arguing with him.

Therefore, the two of them genuinely admired Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was able to debate with the other party and even achieve results.

Seeing their expressions, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"It's alright. Actually, as long as you can get the king's approval, he's usually quite easy to talk to."

"indeed so."

Siduri nodded in deep agreement and smiled:

"Don't let Wang's appearance fool you, he is very much loved by the people of Uruk."

"is that so……?"

Gudao and Mashu were skeptical.

They didn't deny that the other party was an excellent ruler, but they really didn't see the 'easy-going' aspect.

Of course, what Fujimaru Ritsuka told Gudao and the others was only part of her conversation with Gilgamesh; the actual situation was far more complex.

The presence of the lapis lazuli bracelet convinced Gilgamesh of her status as a member of Uruk and as his subject.

Her true identity doesn't seem to have been fully exposed yet, and Gilgamesh doesn't seem to care, nor does he seem to have any intention of investigating further, which is good news for her.

Refocusing her attention on the present moment, looking at the familiar house before her, Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled:

"Speaking of which, are we choosing rooms now?"

"Then I'll start too!"

Watching Fujimaru Ritsuka dart up the stairs, Gudao and Mashu followed with smiles.

……

...

Fujimaru Ritsuka chose the room she used to live in. Although the layout of each room was similar, it still had a nostalgic feel to it.

After choosing a room, I'm now fully settled into a resting state, and next up is preparing for dinner.

During this time, Gudao and Mashu, using the Chaldea embassy as their anchor point, finally established stable video communication with Chaldea and summarized the current situation with Dr. Roman and Leonardo da Vinci.

In addition, Leonardo da Vinci took the opportunity to educate the two about the Age of Gods, including the three stages of the decline of the divine environment: [decline], [separation], and [opportunity].

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat bewildered.

When Mash placed the shield on the ground, she initially thought she was going to set up a summoning circle, but it turned out to be a feint, and in the end, it was just a projection communication system.

Okay, that works too.

Dinner was also prepared by Siduri, and besides their group, the Chaldean group made several new friends through Siduri's introduction.

Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, and Leonidas I.
