Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"I think so, after all, it's an axe that weighs the same as the entire city of Eri."

"However, we can weave ropes from the vines of the dense forest and have my pterosaurs help carry them to Uruk."

"If we divide them into three groups of three hundred each, and take turns carrying them, it will probably take three or four days to arrive. That should be enough time, right?"

Merlin immediately laughed and said:

"Of course, it's more than enough."

They rested for a day in Uruk before starting their operation, and then rested for another day in Ur. Including today, there are still eight days left until the final battle, which is more than enough time.

To be honest, they originally expected this operation to take about five days from the start of the investigation to the completion of the mission, but they didn't expect it to be done so quickly, which was a pleasant surprise.

Back to the point.

Having fully accepted the fact that Quetzalcoatl had become a companion, Ishtar suddenly began looking around for some reason.

Seeing this, Mashu asked with some confusion:

"Miss Ishtar, what are you looking for?"

"No, nothing."

Ishtar withdrew her gaze and shrugged:

"I was just wondering if that mysterious old man who suddenly appeared in the underworld might reappear or something."

"After all, Quetzalcoatl's contract with the Three Goddesses Alliance hasn't truly been broken yet, has it?"

Mashu suddenly realized:

"You mean that Jusulad, right?"

Indeed, upon hearing Ishtar's words, everyone realized what was happening.

The "Three Goddess Alliance" is not a verbal agreement; it's not something you can just break away from.

Back in the underworld, it was the old man who called himself Jusurad who severed the pact between Ereshkigal and the Three Goddesses Alliance, but now it seems that Quetzal Koyatl is unable to get their help.

The contract of the Three Goddesses Alliance stipulates that the goddesses are not allowed to kill each other, otherwise they will suffer terrible punishments and even lose their lives instantly.

In other words, even though Quetzalcoatl has substantially joined them, he still cannot help them directly fight the Goddess of the Beasts because of the alliance contract.

"that--"

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been keeping a low profile, suddenly raised her hand and smiled:

"If it's just about breaking the contract, I do have some solutions."

"Eh?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained their composure.

How should I put it? I feel like I've gotten used to it.

Immediately afterwards, Fujimaru Ritsuka added:

"However, for some reason, could I go to the other side with Fujimaru and Koyatl to resolve this on our own?"

"Of course, no problem, let's go."

Before Chaldea could even consider it, Gudao readily agreed, seemingly having complete trust and confidence in Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Seeing this, Roman, who had originally intended to say something, could only sigh and agree, temporarily cutting off communication with Gudao.

Meanwhile, Leonardo da Vinci, standing nearby, chuckled:

"Fujimaru seems to trust the other person a lot."

"Yes."

Roman sighed and said:

"It's not that I doubt Gudako, after all, she has helped Fujimaru many times."

"However, the other party is too mysterious and gets so close to Fujimaru, which makes me feel a little uneasy."

"Really? I don't think it's a problem."

Leonardo da Vinci rested one hand on Roman's shoulder and chuckled knowingly:

"After all, if we're talking about mystery, this guy doesn't seem to be much less so."

"Ahem, well..."

Roman paused for a moment, then awkwardly picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip, trying to pretend nothing had happened.

Therefore, he did not notice that Leonardo da Vinci sighed almost imperceptibly behind him.

the other side--

Fujimaru Ritsuka led Gudao and Quetzalcoatl to the back of the temple, avoiding everyone's view.

"This will do."

Then, she smiled at Gudao:

"I asked you to come along today to demonstrate one of the specific applications of this ability. Pay close attention!"

"what……!"

Gudao paused for a moment before realizing what the other person was talking about, and then immediately focused intently on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Then it begins."

Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Quetzalcoatl, who had a curious expression on his face, and stretched out his right hand from under his cloak.

Spirit Origin Shadow, Summon!

The next moment, accompanied by a surge of magical energy, a slender figure shrouded in black mist appeared before the two. Immediately afterward, Fujimaru Ritsuka chanted:

"The principles of art encompass all principles; all phenomena in the world ultimately return to their origins..."

"【Rule Breaker】!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 465 Classic Night Talk, Returning to Uruk

【All Symbols Will Break the Rules】, this is a conceptual Noble Phantasm that brings the life of the witch Medea to life.

The Noble Phantasm is in the form of a beautifully designed dagger. It has almost no weapon-like performance, but it is the ultimate anti-magic Noble Phantasm. It can break all magic that pierces an object, including magic contracts and life forms born from magic, but it is ineffective against Noble Phantasms.

Thus, the moment the [All Symbols Will Break the Rules] struck, the alliance contract on Quetzalcoatl instantly shattered.

Not only that, but the temporary contract that the other party had just signed with Gudao was also broken.

"Ah ha ha……"

Regarding this situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head and laughed:

"Well, it's not a big problem anyway. We can just sign the temporary contract again!"

What else could they say?

Gudao and Quetzalcoatl could only exchange a wry smile and then re-sign the temporary contract.

However, compared to the merit of breaking the alliance agreement, this small matter is indeed not a problem.

Furthermore, even a Spirit Origin Shadow can unleash a Noble Phantasm...

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka had told him this knowledge point long ago, Gudao was still shocked when he saw such a scene in person.

Once he masters the Spirit Origin Shadow Summoning Technique, he won't just be able to watch from the sidelines during battles like before; he'll be able to play a role to some extent, right?

Thinking of this, Gudao's determination to study hard grew stronger and more resolute.

In short, they successfully broke the alliance pact on Quetzalcoatl and retrieved Marduk's Hand Axe, making their mission a complete success.

Or even more than that.

Those soldiers who appeared to have been killed by Quetzalcoatl, as well as the adult men sacrificed by the major cities, were imprisoned in Eridu and have now been naturally liberated.

In reality, Quetzal Koyatl would hold wrestling matches with them every day. It seemed like he was teasing them, but he was actually training the soldiers' combat abilities so that they could play a greater role in future battles.

Now is the time.

The soldiers were extremely grateful to the Chaldean group who had liberated them, and upon learning that a decisive battle was about to take place, they immediately decided to go to Uruk to provide support.

However, it was already late, so everyone, including the soldiers, could only rest for one night in Eridu before setting off again the next day.

night--

After another lesson, Fujimaru Ritsuka left Gudao to continue practicing alone, but instead of going back inside to rest, she walked along the street to the Temple of the Sun once again.

At the foot of the temple, Quetzalcoatl sat on the steps, his head slightly raised, quietly admiring the bright moon and stars in the night sky.

Noticing her footsteps, Quetzalcoatl turned to look at her and smiled:

"You're here."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"How could that be! After all, this meeting was my request unilaterally, and I'm already very happy that you agreed to come~."

As he spoke, Quetzalcoatl patted the steps beside him and asked with a smile:

Would you like to sit here?

"Of course, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and sat down next to her. Compared to her passionate and unrestrained nature during the day, Quetzalcoatl seemed to have become quieter at night, like a gentle and caring older sister.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka sat down, the atmosphere quieted down again. Neither of them spoke, and they listened quietly to the sounds that came from the surrounding bushes, sounds unique to the night.

"……Feel sorry,"

After a while, Quetzalcoatl finally spoke, smiling apologetically:

"Although I proposed the meeting, I don't know where to start. I hope you won't find it boring?"

"of course not."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"I quite like this quiet atmosphere; it allows my mind to calm down, which is a rare treat."
