Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

However, Nergigante was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, or rather, it did not perceive any danger in Fujimaru Ritsuka's warning.

Instead, it seemed to think that Fujimaru Ritsuka was challenging its authority, so it roared back with a harsher voice and slightly raised its claws, intending to teach Fujimaru Ritsuka a lesson.

"Qiang!"

However, the claw's downward strike was blocked by a greatsword shrouded in black mist, and a pitch-black figure enveloped in the mist appeared before Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Although the true appearance of the dark figure could not be clearly seen, the outline could be vaguely discerned as a burly man dressed in armor.

Siegfried, the Shadow of the Spirit Origin!

The moment it saw the Spirit Origin's shadow appear, all the thorns on Nergigante's body suddenly exploded, and like a cat with its fur standing on end, it bared its teeth and hissed at it, its eyes full of vigilance.

Although it didn't understand where the spirit origin shadow in front of it came from or what it was, its instantly tense nerves told it that the thing was quite dangerous!

Looking at the Nergigante, which was fully alert and in a battle stance, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I'm just trying to make you realize the reality of the situation."

"Although I have disappointed you, Meimeizi, I am not a toy for you to play with!"

"Siegfried, go!"

At Fujimaru Ritsuka's command, Siegfried brandished his demon sword and charged straight forward.

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!”

However, Nergigante is not the kind of ancient dragon without bloodlust. When faced with an enemy it can sense as a threat, the fighting blood flowing through its veins boils even more fiercely. It roars and charges straight at the enemy.

"Clang!..."

……

...

"Will that make you behave?"

Seeing the Nergigante in front of her finally collapse to the ground, exhausted after being attacked countless times, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a little surprised, even though she said it lightly.

Because Nergigante was much more resilient than she had imagined, and showed signs of becoming stronger with each setback, she almost thought its stamina was limitless.

Fortunately, she's not faring badly either. As long as she doesn't run out of the Holy Grail, the Spirit Origin Shadow will never stop fighting.

"Roar……"

The Nergigante let out a weak cry. After being beaten for several hours, it roughly understood that the Spirit Origin Shadow was Fujimaru Ritsuka's doing, so its voice was full of confusion and grievance.

"Why are you acting all wronged?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly, and seeing that the Nergigante had finally calmed down, she began to think.

So what should we do next?

Come spicy!

Chapter 257 Settling in, Dinner, Summoning a Servant

Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered the current situation.

First and foremost, she naturally wanted to return to the Ancient Tree Forest region where she originally lived, and then visit the hunters' camps to gather information while experiencing the local customs and culture of this other world.

Regardless, she would much rather sleep on a soft bed than on the hard rocky ground beneath her feet.

However, even if I wanted to go back, it's too late today.

The sun is almost setting.

From being "transferred" to this world, encountering the Nergigante, being taken back to its lair, to, more importantly, spending too much time in battle.

The place she is in is infested with many ferocious monsters. Since she is new to the area and doesn't know much about everything, it's best not to travel alone at night.

Well, I guess I'll have to rest today.

After making this decision, she turned back to look at the somewhat listless Nergigante lying on the ground.

Although it was a mischievous child, the other party didn't mean any harm. Seeing its aggrieved look, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched her cheek, saying:

"Well, I might have been a little too rough, but you started it all. Since we're both at fault, how about we call it even?"

Unfortunately, Nergigante didn't seem to understand her plea for reconciliation and didn't respond in any way.

After several hours of intense fighting, it felt not only exhausted but also deeply hungry.

So it turned its head and strolled over to the Rathalos corpse, ready to begin its feast.

"goo"

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed her stomach; she was also a little hungry.

I wonder if Rathalos meat tastes good.

During her previous adventures in the Singularity, she had eaten some dishes made with the meat of monsters, including roasted wyvern meat, which she personally found quite delicious.

Rathalos looks a lot like Wyvern, so it should taste pretty good, right?

However, if she went to ask Nergigante now if she could cut off a piece of its flesh to cook, she probably wouldn't get any results.

With no other option, she could only put the "You Are Also a Dragon" set back into her "Subject's Treasure" while taking out a metal basin, a bottle of mineral water, and a bucket of instant noodles.

Instant noodles are still the best choice, as they are more suitable for modern people's constitutions.

Of course, it wasn't just instant noodles; to maintain a balanced diet, she also added ham sausages and dried vegetables.

Next, pour the mineral water into the basin and start boiling it.

Although her magical talent is not high, it is quite easy for her to create a ball of fire. The difficulty lies in maintaining a stable output of magic power.

The Nergigante, who was enjoying its dinner, was also attracted by the commotion caused by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Looking at the disappearance of the "You Are a Dragon Too" outfit from Fujimaru Ritsuka's body, and then at the pile of things that appeared out of thin air in front of her, its small eyes revealed great confusion and curiosity.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was focused on cooking, didn't notice it.

Boil water, pour it into the instant noodle cup, wait three minutes, lift the lid, and a familiar aroma wafts out.

Fujimaru Ritsuka clasped her hands together and said happily:

"I'm gonna start now!"

As she was eating, she suddenly felt some movement beside her. Before she could turn her head, a large, dark face reeking of blood immediately filled her left-hand view.

Nergigante's nose twitched slightly, its gaze fixed on the instant noodles in her hand, its eyes filled with curiosity.

"Do you want to eat?"

Seeing its appearance, she moved the bubble tea in her hand a little closer to it and tentatively asked.

However, at this moment, the other person seemed to really understand what she said and opened their mouth directly.

"Forehead"

She glanced at the instant noodles she had already eaten a little of, then at the gaping maw in front of her that could easily stuff her whole body inside. After hesitating for a moment, she simply poured the noodles and broth into its mouth.

"Smack, smack"

What was enough instant noodles for her to eat was, in the mouth of the Nergigante, not even enough to fill a tooth gap. It smacked its lips, narrowed its eyes slightly, and seemed to be savoring the strange taste in its mouth.

Then, it grinned in disgust, as if it wanted to spit out the instant noodles.

It seems that instant noodles don't suit Gu Long's taste.

After doing all this, Nergigante turned around again, as if giving her a disdainful look, and slowly went back to enjoy her meal, leaving Fujimaru Ritsuka standing there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey, you're the one who wanted to eat this, okay?"

Seeing that Nergigante remained unmoved by her accusations, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only shake her head helplessly and brew herself another tub of tea.

Of course, the empty instant noodle containers must be recycled into the "Chen's Treasure Trove" after use, as polluting the environment would be undesirable.

After finally finishing her meal, she glanced at the Nergigante still eating, ignored it, and began to observe her surroundings again.

The Nergigante's lair has a very monotonous element, with only the volcanic rock-like ground underfoot and white crystals scattered all around.

However, these white crystals are not ordinary crystals.

This area is called the "Dragon's Crystal Land" because these white crystals are the crystallization of life energy formed by the dissipation and gathering of the energy within the bodies of countless ancient dragons after they met their end here.

"That's amazing!"

Feeling the immense energy contained within these crystals, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh.

However, she didn't forget her purpose and continued to look around. Soon, she found a relatively flat clearing.

Now we can summon Servants.

Unlike in SAO where all her abilities were sealed by BB, the land she is currently in, called the New World, is full of ferocious monsters. Summoning a Servant is naturally the first choice when conditions permit.

Then, she couldn't help but glance at the Nergigante not far away, which was still eating.

Although Nergigante is very strong and treats her with inexplicable friendliness, the inability to communicate is a fatal flaw, making it hard to say whether she can rely on it.

I guess I still have to summon a Servant.

So, she took out an oversized compass, ruler, and set square that she hadn't seen in a long time from the [Minister's Treasury], as well as black beast fat as a material for drawing summoning arrays.

This time, she'll have to do it herself.

The Nergigante had almost finished eating and lay there watching curiously. It didn't understand what strange thing Fujimaru Ritsuka was up to, but it didn't interfere and just watched quietly.

"Ah, so tired!"

After working for half a day, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, looked at the summoning circle that had taken shape in front of her, and showed a satisfied smile.

Due to the unique nature of the Elder's Recess, which possesses immense ley line energy, the Holy Grail no longer needs to be placed there as an energy source.

So, who should we summon?

Speaking of which, there seem to be quite a few Servants in Chaldea who are adapted to this world.

For example, there are Servants who have slain dragons, such as Siegfried and Georgios; there are Servants who have a connection with dragons, such as Jeanne d'Arc Alter and Artoria; and there are Servants who are dragons themselves, such as Kiyohime and Frigid.

After careful consideration, she felt that there was no need to summon a specific Servant at the moment, so she did not take out any relics and walked to the edge of the summoning circle herself.

Just like summoning the professor in the Conan world, let's see who is more destined for this world.
