Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

As Fujimaru Ritsuka gently stroked it, its eyelids began to droop involuntarily until they closed completely, and soon after, it blew a shallow nasal bubble.

Seeing its appearance, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, and then involuntarily let out a long yawn.

"Ha~~~~~"

She was also a little sleepy.

Just as she yawned, she suddenly felt a soft, warm body embrace her arm. Turning her head slightly, she saw Mei Liuqina smiling at her and saying:

"Master, are you sleepy? Let's go to sleep then."

"..."

Forget it, get used to it.

"Then I'll trouble you to help me set up the tent."

Mei Liuqina's eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly:

"No problem, leave it to me!"

So, the moment Fujimaru Ritsuka took the spare multi-functional tent from the [Treasury of the Minister] and handed it to Meiliu Qi Na, she felt a gust of wind rush before her eyes. In the blink of an eye, a tent that had been set up appeared in front of her.

Even the tent pegs used to secure the tent were firmly driven into the hard rocky ground.

"Forehead……"

Looking at everything before her, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyelids twitched slightly.

As the Horizon Dragon, Meryuchina can nullify inertia, allowing her to accelerate and stop instantly at will, whether moving or fighting. Combined with her impressive speed, which can easily break the sound barrier in 0.3 seconds, this becomes one of the sources of her powerful strength.

But isn't it a bit of an overreaction to use such skills to set up a tent?

At this moment, Meiliuqina was already sitting upright in the tent, peeking out half her head, looking at her expectantly and saying:

"Come on, Master, it's time to sleep."

"Wait a moment."

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed helplessly, and after a quick wash, she went into the tent.

……

...

"Hehe, Master..."

Meiliu Qina held Fujimaru Ritsuka in her arms, feeling the warmth of her body and her unique fragrance, her face filled with ecstasy.

As if struck by a sudden thought, she quickly grew unsatisfied, her little hands beginning to wander restlessly, and she tentatively asked in an expectant tone:

"Master, now that we're on our honeymoon, shouldn't we take our relationship to the next level...?"

"..."

However, the only response she received was the even breathing of Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was clearly sleeping very soundly.

"Um..."

Mei Liuqina's cheeks immediately puffed out, and she muttered under her breath, somewhat dissatisfied:

"Honestly, it's always the same... Oh well, whatever..."

As drowsiness gradually crept into her heart, for her, as a dragon, the body temperature of Fujimaru Ritsuka, whom she cherished, was undoubtedly the best sleep aid.

Goodnight, Master.

-

'Please help me...stop it...'

……Who is speaking?

That child will guide you…

Who are you?

'I am……'

……

...

"Um..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka groggily opened her eyes, saw the faint light shining through the tent, and quickly came to her senses.

It's the next day.

Come to think of it, I had a rather strange dream.

She recalled the contents of her dream, but felt somewhat confused. Who was the person speaking in her dream?

Unable to figure it out for the time being, she could only shake her head, keep the matter to herself, and prepare to get up.

But just as I was about to sit up, I suddenly felt a heavy weight on my body.

Looking down, she noticed that Mei Liuqina, who had been sleeping next to her, had somehow changed her sleeping position so that half of her body was resting on her.

Fortunately, the other person was very light, so pressing on them like that didn't have much of an impact.

In addition, although Meiliuqina is very clingy, it must be said that her petite body is soft and fragrant when you hug her, and feels very nice.

Thanks to this, although the conditions in the tent were rather basic, she was very comfortable and slept soundly until the next morning.

Perhaps her movements startled the other person, as Meiliuqina gradually woke up from her sleep, groggily opening her eyes and saying somewhat confusedly:

"Is it the second day already?"

"Yes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka greeted him with a smile:

Good morning, Melyuchina.

But Melyuchina didn't respond. Instead, she lay down again, closed her eyes tightly, and said:

"No, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer."

"Okay, you can continue sleeping then. I'm getting up now."

Fujimaru Ritsuka wasn't having any of it. She pushed her off, got up, put on her coat, and walked out of the tent, leaving Meiliu Qina sitting there, fuming as she watched her retreating figure.

The weather is nice today, sunny and bright, perfect for going out.

Stepping out of the tent, she found that Nergigante was also still not up. The nasal bubbles it had blown up last night were still growing larger and smaller with its regular breathing, giving her an urge to pop them.

It seems that yesterday's two battles really took their toll on it.

Good morning, Master.

So Fujimaru Ritsuka washed up by herself. After she finished washing up, Meiliu Qina finally came out of the tent reluctantly and greeted her.

At the same time, feeling the warm sunlight on her skin and the gentle breeze on her face, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, then slowly exhale, revealing a contented expression.

"……what?"

At that moment, Meiliu Qina, having discovered something, exclaimed in surprise, attracting the attention of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"It's not really a problem."

Melyuchina shook her head and replied:

"But I only just realized that this world, this place, makes me feel very comfortable, and..."

As she spoke, she took another deep breath and closed her eyes, as if she were carefully experiencing something.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, a look of disbelief on her face, and hesitantly spoke:

"There seems to be some kind of special energy in the air, as if it's replenishing my body... If this continues, it seems I have the potential to continue growing..."

Upon hearing her statement, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her in shock.

"Continue to grow?!"

(End of this chapter)

The possibility of completing Chapter 260? A choice, the abnormal behavior of the Nergigante.

Melyuchina is the embodiment of the left hand remnant of the dead Albion dragon. Although she is still a dragon at the pinnacle, she is not a complete dragon in the strict sense.

But now Melyuchina says that she has the potential to continue growing, and if she continues to grow, wouldn't that mean—

Melyuchina, perhaps she can become the complete Albion Dragon?!

"...but it's only a possibility,"

As someone directly involved, Melyuchina naturally understood this even more clearly, and so she calmly stated:

"What I'm more curious about is what this special energy actually is?"

Special energy?

In fact, when Fujimaru Ritsuka heard Meiru Qina say that, she already had a vague answer.

Her gaze swept across the nearby ground, and she quickly found a shattered piece of dragon crystal, which must have been damaged in the battle with Nergigante yesterday.

Is this the kind of energy you're feeling?

"This is……?"

Meiliu Qina took the dragon crystal from Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand with some confusion. The next moment, her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in shock:

"That's the energy!"

"but……!?"

She suddenly looked up and looked around. As far as she could see, there were only white crystals. Even in the distance, the white crystals had piled up into a tall mountain range, standing on the earth.

"There are so many, it's unbelievable..."

Meiliu Zina exclaimed in disbelief, and Fujimaru Ritsuka confirmed the true nature of the energy she spoke of—

That is the life energy released and gathered within the body of countless ancient dragons whose lifespans have come to an end, condensed within this Dragon Crystal Land!
