Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Chapter 751 Meeting
After learning that they were invited as VIPs, Gerry took them to a hotel in an underground city covered by giant trees. This was a hotel specially provided by the organizer of this event for VIPs to stay.

This is a hotel built with earth walls and wood, with a very natural feel, just like the impression given by the South District - not to transform nature, but to live in harmony with nature.

Gary had other things to do, so he left after sending them there. Just as they were about to check in at the hotel, they ran into two acquaintances.

"I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be you guys!"

"Long time no see, everyone from [No Name]."

"Aisha, and Mr. Jack!"

The two members of Will o' Wisp were the ones who spoke to them.

Ever since Fujimaru Ritsuka and Kasukabe Yō defeated them in the game [Duel of the Creators] and fought against the Demon King together, Yō and Asuka were invited to participate in the Gift Game held by the other party some time ago and did a business deal with them. Therefore, they [No Name] and [Will o' wisp] can be said to have known each other through fighting, and the relationship between the two sides is pretty good.

"Just right!"

Aixia shook her long blue twin-tailed hair and came to Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying with high morale:
"You managed to escape revenge some time ago, but you can't escape this time, right?!"

"Ok?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted her head in confusion, and after hearing the explanation from Hisaon Asuka, she realized that the other party had also invited her when they held a game not long ago, but she had just left the small garden at that time.

On the other side, Ren and Jack exchanged greetings for a while and discussed the details of the goods they ordered. They also learned that [Will o' wisp] was also an invited guest and had just arrived like them and was preparing to visit the organizer.

After hearing Jack's speech, Yao asked with some doubt:
"Isn't Will o' Wisp a manufacturing-focused community? Why would it get involved in something like this?"

"We are of course a community that focuses on manufacturing. This time I came here mainly because I was invited. I also want to take this opportunity to promote and sell the daily necessities produced by our community."

While Jack was explaining with a smile, he also heard the unusual meaning in Yao's tone, so he asked back:
"But what do you mean by 'this kind of thing'?"

It turned out that they didn't know that the remnants of the Demon King were going to attack the Harvest Festival.

Thinking of this, everyone reacted and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Holmes beside them.

Indeed, if Ritsuka had not brought the news in advance, they would probably have known nothing.

"That's it..."

"If that's the case, let the organizers speak for themselves."

Kasukabe Yō was about to explain, but Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly interrupted her, put her hands behind her head, and spoke slowly:

"The organizer may have his own plans. If we interfere and disrupt their plans, and then they blame us, we will just be unlucky."

"This……"

What he said did make sense, so Yao hesitated. Seeing this, Jack smiled and said,

"What the young man said is right. It is enough for us to understand that this invitation is not a simple one. As for the rest, I think it is better to ask the other party directly."

"Ah."

Kasukabe Yō nodded and returned to his usual quiet self.

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at Jack and Aisha, feeling a little curious.

Although they claim to be a manufacturing-based community, the fact that they were invited at this time shows that they are definitely not as simple as they seem.

Let's get back to the topic. Since they both had the same purpose, to visit the organizer, they agreed to go together. Aixia and Jack waited for them to register at the front desk, and then after putting their luggage away, they went to the organizer's residence together.

[Underwood] The underground city is dug in a spiral shape, so the group must circle around the road on the outer wall to move up. Although the depth is only about 20 meters, it is actually quite a distance.

Under normal circumstances, the problem children would have impatiently started looking for shortcuts, but since this was their first visit to this city, the exotic street scenes and makeshift stalls along the way were very novel to them, so they did not feel bored even if they walked slowly on the road.

The official Gift Games will not begin until the day of the Harvest Festival. The Eve Festival is a temporary market for transactions between communities, but the streets have become quite lively at this time.

At this moment, Jiuyuan Fei Niao suddenly asked curiously:

"By the way, what kind of community is the Dragon Horned Eagle Lion?"

Hearing her question, Jack smiled and replied:
"To be precise, [Dragon Horned Eagle Lion] is not a community, but the name of a community alliance composed of six different communities."

The six communities that make up the [Dragon Horned Vulture Lion] are [One Horn], [Two Wings], [Three Tails], [Four Legs], [Five Claws] and [Six Wounds]. Depending on the needs, the alliance will sometimes set up an alliance speaker to be responsible for coordinating the work of each community, but this is not necessary.

The [Dragon Horned Vulture Lion] has an alliance speaker who is the leader of the community [One Horn] and the person they are going to visit this time.

Ten years ago, after [Underwood] was attacked by the Demon King and suffered heavy damage, it was [Dragon Horned Eagle Lion] that took the initiative to propose coexistence with [Underwood], and helped to protect this place and carry out reconstruction activities. At the same time, it also developed into one of the best community alliances in the South District in the past ten years.

Jack smiled and said:

"It is said that the reason why we were able to achieve this level is thanks to the activities of the Alliance Speaker."

"That's it..."

The thriving and bustling streets around here no longer show any signs of having been attacked by the devil.

Because [No Name] also had the same experience, Ren and Kuro Usagi both felt the same way, and Ren couldn't help but sigh:
"What a remarkable man!"

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered Jin's performance in Salamandra last time, so he smiled at him:
"Come to think of it, you should know each other, right?"

"Eh? Me?"

Seeing Ren's puzzled expression, she announced the answer with a smile:
"Because she is the eldest daughter who left Salamandra."

“…Huh?!——”

……

...

The office of [Dragon Horned Vulture Lion] is in the middle of the huge water tree. It would be quite troublesome to climb up using a ladder, but fortunately there is a device similar to an elevator to go up and down, otherwise they would have to use all their own skills.

After arriving at the reception desk and reporting, they observed the surroundings and soon saw seven flags hanging on the wall. In addition to the flags of the six communities, there was also a flag of the Community Alliance.

Looking at the alliance flag on the wall, Ren seemed to be thinking about something, but was soon brought back to reality by the sudden voice of a woman -

"——Welcome to the South District, everyone from [No Name] and [Will o' wisp]."

As the sound rang out, a strong hot wind blew in the face, and a woman with wings of fire on her back fell from the sky.

The long red hair fluttering like flames and the pair of beautiful dragon horns on the top of the head are particularly eye-catching. The healthy bronze skin is boldly exposed to the air, and the determined eyes add to his heroic temperament.

"Lady Sarah!"
