Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Even Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh:

"Although I roughly understand what Fufu's cries and actions mean, it would definitely be much more convenient if we could talk directly to each other, right?"

Fufu?

It probably refers to her pet, right?

However, seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka rarely reacted, Kudo Asuka's attention was also diverted, and she smiled:

"So you're surprised too? I thought there might be something wrong with your emotional functioning."

Whether it's the unruly Izayoi Sakamaki, the calm and collected Kasukabe Yō, or even the seemingly composed Kasukabe Yō, they all inevitably lose their composure when faced with a series of incredible people and events.

On the contrary, Fujimaru Ritsuka, ever since she appeared with them, has remained calm no matter what she faces, as if she is used to everything. Her reaction is unusually indifferent.

That's why she suspected that the other person might have some kind of physiological problem.

Kasukabe Yo nodded slightly in agreement, and seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled somewhat awkwardly:

"Is that so? I guess I'm just more used to this kind of thing..."

"Habit?"

Kuon Asuka raised an eyebrow and asked with interest:

"Do you mean you often see situations similar to the one we're in now?"

"That's it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka readily nodded in agreement, then smiled and said:

"Since we all come from different worlds, each world must have some unique things, right?"

She thought that since everyone came from another world and had special abilities, then everyone's world must be extraordinary.

For example, it should at least be a world with urban superpowers or something similar.

However, to her surprise, Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yo exchanged a glance and then shook their heads at the same time.

Kuon Asuka Michi:

"My world is a very boring and ordinary world. Within my knowledge, I am the only one who possesses so-called special abilities."

Kasukabe Yō nodded slightly and said:

"Me too."

"Eh?"

This time, when it was Fujimaru Ritsuka's turn, she blinked in surprise, and Jin also asked with some confusion:

"Logically speaking, holders of [Gifts] are extremely rare in the outside world, and it's almost impossible for them to appear in large numbers in the same world... Could it be that the world Ritsuka lives in is special?"

"Is that so?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek, not quite understanding the situation, and could only nod for the time being:

"Perhaps so."

Although Ren was still somewhat concerned about this, now was not the time to delve into these issues. Just as he was preparing to continue explaining the basics of miniature gardens to the girls, a pretentious and rude voice suddenly rang out—

"Oh dear, I wondered who it was? It's the leader of the lowest-level community in the eastern region, the [Nameless Soldier]. Isn't that you, Brother Ren? Wasn't Black Rabbit, who's supposed to be your babysitter today, with you?"

A strange man, who had squeezed his enormous body, which was over two meters tall, into a fitted evening suit, walked towards them, stood in front of their table, and completely blocked out the sunlight.

Ren frowned and said:

“Our community is called No Name, Jard Gaspar of Fores Garo.”

"Shut up, nobody."

"I heard you've brought in new talent? The very titles and banners that should have been honored to the community have been taken away, and you still have the nerve to be so unwilling to let the community continue—do the three ladies agree?"

Faced with Jard's forced, ingratiating smile, Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yo remained extremely indifferent, while Jin seemed to have been hit where it hurt, lowering his head in resentment and clenching his fists tightly together.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka had no choice but to step forward and ask Jard with a smile:

"Mr. Jard, is there anything you want to say?"

"of course."

Seeing that things seemed to be going smoothly, Jard's smile widened. He casually pulled up a chair from the side and plopped down, ignoring the chair's groaning under its weight. He looked at Ren mockingly and sneered:

"As newcomers to this place, the three ladies must have been tricked by this guy's sweet talk into joining their group, right?"

"But if I may be frank, has he been honest about the terrible state of their community?"

"I……!"

Ren's entire body trembled slightly, a mixture of anger, resentment, and fear.

If they knew the state of their community—

"We know."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 533 Turns out he's a classic villain.

"Hmph, I knew it! Since you all knew... eh?"

"...You, you all knew?"

Jard snorted smugly, but just as he was about to continue, he realized what he was doing, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

The unexpected turn of events seemed to completely disrupt his preparations, leaving him awkwardly stuck in the middle. At the same time, Ren also suddenly looked up, staring at them in disbelief.

If they already know everything, does that mean...!?

Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to laugh:

"Black Rabbit has told us everything about the fate and current situation of the [No Name] community. We also voluntarily chose to join [No Name] with full knowledge of this, so..."

"--Why?!"

Jard rudely interrupted Fujimaru Ritsuka's speech, his muscles bulging with emotion, making his already taut, form-fitting dress look as if it were about to burst at any moment.

This time, even Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but frown slightly.

The other party quickly realized what was happening, tried to suppress their excitement, and forced another ingratiating smile, saying:

"What I mean is, since the three ladies already know that that guy's community is a hopeless place at the very bottom, why not choose to join us..."

"That's enough, shut up!"

Kudo Asuka finally grew tired of the conversation and spoke as if giving a command, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"—!"

At the same time, Jard's mouth seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, and was tightly closed. No matter how hard he tried to open his mouth, or even tried to pry his jaw open, he could not move it at all.

Such an unusual situation caused a look of shock to appear in Jard's eyes, and Jin and Kasukabe Yo also looked at Kudo Asuka with some surprise.

After giving the firm order, Kudo Asuka regained her elegant young lady demeanor and calmly said:

"Ritsuka is willing to treat you with courtesy because she possesses the qualities of a lady, so I naturally can't say much."

"Unfortunately, if I may be frank, but for someone as rude, aggressive, and ill-mannered as you who's pretending to be a gentleman, this is definitely more effective than treating you kindly, isn't it?"

"A lady..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly and gave a shy smile.

On the other side, Jard's face was extremely ugly. His gaze toward Kudo Asuka was filled with anger and killing intent, but he was also wary of the amazing abilities that the other party had displayed, and dared not make a move rashly.

“I’ll reiterate one last time. We will not join your community, nor do we want to listen to your empty talk any longer. If you understand, then get out of here now.”

As Kudo Asuka's words faded, Jard's tightly closed mouth finally opened.

He tried to open his mouth, hesitated for a moment before reaching out to confirm, then closed his mouth again, wisely refraining from saying anything more, and simply got up and left silently with a dark expression.

Before leaving, he turned back to look at the group one last time, giving them a malicious stare.

"Miss, that guy doesn't seem to have good intentions."

Watching the other person's departing figure, the three-haired cat offered a reminder.

"Ah."

Kasukabe Yō nodded, and the others understood perfectly well; after all, it was hard not to notice such obvious malice.

At this moment, Ren's expression turned somewhat grim, and Kudo Asuka asked him:

"So, who exactly is that guy?"

Ren suppressed his unpleasant expression, trying to appear calm, and explained:

"His name is Jard Gaspar. He was originally the forest guardian of the forest area we came from. Later, he entered the Little Garden and established the community [Fores Garo]. Now he belongs to the 666 Outer Gate Community [666 Beasts] of the East District of the Little Garden."

"The six hundred and sixty-six beasts?"

Suddenly, an image of Draco swaying her thick dragon tail with an arrogant expression flashed into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.

"So, that guy's a problem?"

"yes,"

Ren couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although it was satisfying to see the other party slink away, he had to admit that they had indeed gotten themselves into big trouble.

"Leaving aside the [Beasts of 666] to which he belongs, in this Outer Gate 2105380 where we are, almost all the medium-sized communities that can operate are under his control. The only ones left are communities whose strongholds are located in other areas or at higher levels, as well as nameless communities like ours."

The reason they don't control these nameless communities is probably simply because they look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

Following Ren's instructions, the group looked at the flags outside the shops around the square. Apart from the café where they were and a few other shops, most of the others had a tiger head flag, just like the medal that Jard wore on his chest.

That is the banner of Gard's community, Fores Garo.

"Is that guy's community really that powerful?"

Kudo Asuka raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised, but there was no fear in her tone.

Most things in the miniature garden can be decided through the "Gift Game," but outside of the game, there are also some basic laws, including prohibitions against murder, robbery, theft, and so on...

In other words, even if the other party wants to cause trouble, they can only do so through the "Gift Game".

As long as it's not a case of underhanded tactics, judging from the exchange just now, she didn't think she had any reason to be afraid of that kind of guy.
