Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Ushiwakamaru was just her childhood name; her real name was Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a famous tragic warlord known to everyone in Japan. In terms of fame alone, perhaps only Oda Nobunaga could rival her.

Now, Ushiwakamaru is also in charge of managing these Servants.

Musashibo Benkei was one of the most famous warrior monks in Japanese history, alongside Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka knew that the other party was actually an imposter of Musashibo Benkei, whose real name was Hitachibo Kaizun.

He was a subordinate of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, but he deserted during the battle in which Yoshitsune and his comrades ultimately sacrificed themselves. Feeling deeply ashamed of this, he became a storyteller of Yoshitsune and Benkei, embarking on a journey throughout Japan.

The last follower, Leonidas I, the renowned King of Sparta, became famous for holding off an invading Persian army of 100,000 with only 300 men at the Battle of Thermopylae.

The current commander of the Absolute Monster Front is Leonidas I, who is also responsible for training the soldiers of Uruk.

Like Merlin, they are also Servants summoned by King Gilgamesh, and are fighting to protect Uruk.

In fact, Gilgamesh summoned a total of seven Servants, including Fuuma Kotaro, Amakusa Shirou, and Tomoe Gozen.

However, before the Chaldea group arrived, the three mentioned above had already sacrificed themselves in battle, leaving only Ushiwakamaru and the others.

Ushiwakamaru and the others lived next to the Chaldea embassy. After noticing their commotion, they came over to greet them and quickly became acquainted.

And so, gathered around the sumptuous dinner prepared by Siduri, everyone raised their glasses in celebration of the Chaldean group's arrival and their new acquaintance—

Cheers! ×n

Hey guys, I'm back!

Chapter 418 The Suspicious Gudako

"Tons, tons, tons..."

"ha--!"

Merlin downed the ale in one gulp, let out a long sigh of relief, and laughed heartily:

"I live for this glass of wine!"

Since they are not yet adults, Gudao and Mashu both drink milk, but that doesn't stop Ushiwakamaru from coming to Gudao's side and warmly inviting him:

"It's fate that we met by chance, Mr. Fujimaru, have another drink!"

"Ah, okay."

Gudao belatedly realized what was happening and laughed:

"Thank you, Ushiwakamaru."

Musashibo Benkei laughed:

"Lord Ushiwakamaru, you should drink less. After all, last time you were drunk, and that was quite something—"

"Shut up! Or do you want me to be your second?"

"Oh, and Leonidas, have a drink too!"

"I won't."

Leonidas I solemnly refused:

"I just need to replenish my nutrition."

"...It's so delicious...even though I don't like sweet things..."

As Anna savored the taste of the sweet milk, her eyes lit up, but then, still holding the cup, she said with some lingering resentment:

"That damned Merlin, he actually took the room in the corner... I guess I should find a chance to kill him..."

"Ugh! @#￥%..."

Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was already starving, was focused on devouring the delicious food in front of her.

In Mesopotamia, a land of clay, wheat, and sheep, tender and juicy lamb chops and fragrant flatbreads are the stars of their meals today.

After wolfing down her food, Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a satisfied sigh and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's still as delicious as ever, as expected of Miss Siduri!"

Not only her, but even Fufu ate with great relish.

"Thank you."

Siduri smiled slightly; the satisfied smiles on everyone's faces were the greatest praise to her.

At this moment, Ushiwakamaru looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked with some curiosity:

"Speaking of which, it's said that Miss Gudako is actually a magician living in this era? And she's even an acquaintance of King Gilgamesh?"

"If that's the case, then he must be an exceptionally powerful magician from the Age of Gods?"

Upon hearing this question, everyone, including Siduri, looked over curiously.

"No,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly:

"I'm really not a Servant of this era. As for knowing the King? Well... it can only be considered as having some special connection."

She chose to conceal her identity because she didn't want to complicate things too much at this point, rather than because it was absolutely necessary.

Therefore, there is no need to fabricate lies to deceive everyone.

Moreover, this false identity she unintentionally created may seem perfect, but in reality, the lie will be exposed as soon as she makes a move.

Calling her a "divine magician" is really giving her too much credit.

"Special circumstances?"

However, upon hearing her say this, everyone was somewhat confused, and then subconsciously looked at Siduri, who was most familiar with Gilgamesh.

Siduri could only shake her head, indicating that she knew nothing about it.

Although they didn't get any useful answers, no one seemed to care. They acted as if nothing had happened and returned to the lively atmosphere they had just started.

During the event, Leodanius I, who had clearly stated that he would not drink, somehow poured himself a glass of wine and got completely drunk. His personality changed drastically; he went from being serious to constantly complaining, leaving everyone both amused and exasperated.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, during the break, they couldn't help but chat about the current situation.

It was only then that the Chaldea group learned that Gilgamesh had summoned multiple Servants in a very reckless manner, which meant that his magical energy had not yet recovered, and therefore he had not rushed to the front lines.

Leonidas I said:

"I heard that before he called us out, he didn't even know what the enemy was."

"The northern cities were attacked by monsters, and various mutations occurred in various places. Kusa City was wiped out overnight."

“It was only then that King Gilgamesh ‘saw’ the future. He saw Uruk vanish into nothingness and be swallowed up by hell.”

"Then, as you all have seen, the King summoned us without hesitation and, in the past six months, transformed Uruk into a perfect battle city, which has resisted to this day."

"Speaking of which, I must say the timing was excellent."

Merlin laughed:

"For Uruk, it is very fortunate that King Gilgamesh, having ended his quest for immortality, has gained enough 'growth' to maintain the situation as it is today."

Mentioning Gilgamesh's quest for immortality, Gudao recalled the imposter Enkidu he had encountered before, and subconsciously looked at Gudako, saying:

"Gudako-san, what exactly is going on with Enkidu?"

"what,"

Upon hearing Gudao's question, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized, scratching her cheek as she said:

"I almost forgot to mention this."

Understanding the implication in her words, Siduri was somewhat surprised, and then quickly asked:

"Lord Gudako, do you know something?"

"Well,"

Seeing the gazes directed at her, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and smiled:

"Simply put, the other party's real name is Jingu, and he is a completely new individual born from Enkidu's corpse."

……

...

Everyone had work to do the next day, so after resting for a while, Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei dragged Leonidas I away.

Merlin followed suit and slipped upstairs, while the others helped Siduri clean up the mess.

"Thank you for your help."

Siduri smiled at them:

"I will release the relevant work to you tomorrow morning. Please get a good rest tonight and be well-rested."

"Yes!"

Gudao nodded and smiled:

"Please take care of me from now on, Miss Siduri!"

"Please give me more advice."

Siduri smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and left. Seeing this, Gudako, Mashu, and the others went upstairs one after another to prepare for rest.

At the same time, the information given to them by Gudako was still echoing in their minds.

Kingu, in mythology, was the child created by the creator goddess Tiamat. He led Tiamat's army against Marduk and was later killed by Marduk along with Tiamat.

Marduk took King's blood and mixed it with clay, shaping it into the first humans.

It is obvious that the Jingu born from Enkidu's corpse is not the one from mythology.

Even so, it's enough to give rise to many speculations and imaginations.

In addition, they were also slightly concerned about where Gudako had obtained this information.

Arriving at the dormitory door, Mashu smiled at Gudao:

Good night, senior. Please get some rest.
