Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Chapter 761: Let’s talk about it tomorrow, Yao’s reasoning

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka claimed that he had a way to pierce the dragon's heart, except for the members of [No Name], everyone else was more or less skeptical, so they did not give up on cracking the third victory condition.

However, perhaps due to the lack of intelligence, the solution to the third victory condition has never been found.

At this time, Leticia guessed that perhaps the information about the third victory condition was hidden in the ancient castle standing on the back of the dragon, which was the original residence of their vampire clan.

After summarizing the suggestions from all parties, everyone finally decided to split into two teams:

One team will stay on the ground to protect [Underwood] and prevent the giants from attacking again; the other team will go to the back of the dragon to find a way to crack the game.

At the same time, considering that many people were injured in tonight's battle and there is also the issue of resettling civilians, it is tentatively planned to organize the troops before the night of the third day and officially launch the attack on the fourth day.

So the operational meeting against the Demon King Game came to an end for the time being, and everyone dispersed to take a break.

Fortunately, the hotel that hosted them was not affected, but when everyone returned to the hotel to rest, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly and mysteriously gathered all the members of [No Name] together.

"Hah~~ Ritsuka, is there anything else?"

Jiuyuan Feiniao couldn't help but yawn lightly. He looked very tired and sleepy.

After all, they had experienced two battles in a row, and then had a meeting to discuss things until now, and it was already late at night.

"I'm sorry, but there is something important I need to tell you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled apologetically, then looked at Pest beside her. Seeing this, everyone looked at her with some confusion, but a few of them had thoughtful expressions.

After receiving her instructions, Pest stood up and said calmly:

"The masterminds behind the attacks on [No Name] and [Underwood] are probably the same group of people - members of the Demon Alliance [Ouroboros]."

"Demon Alliance?!"

“Ouroboros…”

Because Ouroboros had done her a favor, she and Fujimaru Ritsuka had made an agreement before that as long as Ouroboros did not have a direct conflict with No Name, she would have the right not to provide any information about Ouroboros.

But now, this agreement has obviously been broken, and even she herself has been attacked.

In that case, there was no need for her to keep it secret any longer.

On the other side, everyone who was originally a little sleepy suddenly became alert, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Holmes next to them.

Just before arriving at the South District, Fujimaru Ritsuka told them that Shiroyasha commissioned Holmes to investigate a Demon Alliance, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should be this [Ouroboros].

Even Shiroyasha is paying close attention to it, so one can imagine how dangerous Ouroboros is.

What was even more unexpected was that they met each other so soon.

Thinking of this, they quickly pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what was to come.

Coincidentally, Pest happened to know the people who attacked [No Name] and had spent a brief time with them.

But even so, she didn't actually have much information.

She only knew that it was a team of four people, namely, 'Your Highness', Lin, Aura, and Graia Grave.

'Your Highness' is a young man with white hair and golden eyes. His real name is unknown. He looks about the same age as Ren, but he is the leader of the entire team.

The opponent was very powerful, and it was he who defeated her and Leticia this time, but they couldn't tell what kind of gift the other party used.

The black-haired girl Lin is the team's advisor. She cracked her Demon King Game in five days, but she has never shown her gift abilities in front of her and is very mysterious.

Aura is the woman in black robe seen by Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, but she is not a simple human, but a mythical beast among humans - a magician.

The last one is the black griffin who was seriously injured by Fujimaru Ritsuka. His name is Graia Grave, and his specific abilities are also unknown.

As for other information about Ouroboros, there is no more except what she had told Fujimaru Ritsuka before.

After all, she didn't have too much in-depth contact and communication with the other party.

"White-haired kid? I remember that."

Izayoi Sakamaki obviously didn't want to call the other person by that nickname. He rubbed his fists, and his grinning mouth revealed a bit of ferocity. Since the other person dared to attack their companions, then the grudge was settled. When they meet next time, he will definitely repay them double!
At the same time, Kasukabe Yō immediately noticed a problem.

"The black griffin, Graia Grave..."

If she remembered correctly, the first mythical beast friend she made was the griffin Gri, who escorted them from the South Boundary Gate to the entrance of the inn. Its full name was Gri Griff.

Both of them are griffins and have the same last name, Glaive, which is obviously not a mere coincidence.

Upon hearing this, Black Rabbit suggested:
"In that case, let's go ask Mr. Gurley or Miss Sarah tomorrow. They may know something. It's also a good opportunity to inform them of this important information."

"Ah."

Kasukabe Yō nodded in agreement.

After all, the other party is not only the murderer who attacked [No Name], but also the mastermind behind the current attack on the South District.

At this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
"That's all the information I have to share. If you don't have anything else to say, then let's stop here."

"Ah--"

As she spoke, even she couldn't help but yawn.

There's no way, I'm indeed a little sleepy.

In fact, if we really have to say, there are still many things worth discussing, but it is obvious that everyone is already a little sleepy at this time.

So everyone said good night and went back to their rooms to rest. They would talk about anything tomorrow.

……

...

I slept until noon.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka finished washing up, she came to the restaurant on the first floor sleepily and found that almost everyone was there, and many of them were in the same state as her. Obviously, she was not the only one who got up late.

"Good afternoon~"

"good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, would you like to eat something together?"

"Okay!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka sat in the empty seat next to Kuon Asuka and started chatting with everyone while eating breakfast.

"By the way, what were you talking about just now?"

"We are discussing the third victory condition."

Jiuyuan Feiniao smiled and said:
"Student Yao seems to have a good idea about the content of the game. We were just listening to her explanation."

"Just some immature thoughts..."

Kasukabe Yō explained somewhat sheepishly, and then briefly repeated her thoughts to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The condition of "collecting the shattered starry sky" reminded her of the "breaking the false inheritance" in Pest's Demon King game.

Therefore, she believes that the sentence may refer to a specific object, just as the latter refers to the stained glass with the image of "The Pied Piper of Hamel".

The object referred to must be related to the zodiac, or the zodiac, because the animal belt itself means the zodiac.

"…But I still have no idea what the specific object is."

At this point, she looked at Holmes cautiously, like a student waiting for her teacher to mark her paper.

At this time, Holmes smiled and nodded:
"Basically correct."
