Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

After finally saying goodbye to Bai Feng and the others, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiliu Qi Na returned to the Guiding Lands, where Nergigante remained fast asleep.

Seemingly sensing the return of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiru Shina, Nergigante slept even more soundly, its familiar nasal bubbles reappearing on its nose.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt relieved and smiled knowingly, then looked at the corpse of the Fatalis that remained unchanged to the side.

Due to the urgency of the situation, she didn't have time to store it in the [Minister's Treasury], and immediately followed Meiliuqina to the [Starry Sky] base to provide support.

However, just as she had predicted, their battle with Safi'jiiva took place within Archer's Reality Marble, and the other monsters outside were unaware that Safi'jiiva had been slain by them.

Therefore, even though the corpse of the Fatalis was just lying on the ground, no monster dared to set foot there easily, let alone steal the corpse.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little sorry for the corpses on the ground.

As the pinnacle of fantasy species, dragons are best known not only for their immense power but also for their bodies: dragon blood, scales, tendons, bones... their entire bodies are made of the finest and most mysterious materials.

To her dismay, the corpse of the Safi'jiiva could not produce these materials.

Although the opponent is already one of the strongest ancient dragons in the world, its energy circulation system, which is almost like a perpetual motion machine, is nearly identical to that of a fantasy species.

But it is ultimately not a fantasy species.

Due to the fundamental difference in their power systems, the Fatalis is also fundamentally different from the mythical dragons she knows. Its blood, scales, and so on cannot be used as ordinary dragon blood and scales.

Of course, neither she nor Chaldea lacks such material nowadays.

However, the black dragon, who, like them, came from another world, was more in line with the standards of a fantasy species in their world.

Thinking of this, she remembered the materials that had fallen from the black dragon during the battle earlier, which she had stored in the [Treasury of the Subject].

This was the only usable material she had found since arriving in this world. Given the special nature of the Black Dragon in this world, she did not share the Black Dragon material with Bai Feng and the others as she had done in the past.

Naturally, the commander was practically drooling with envy, and just thinking about his expression was quite amusing.

Returning to the issue of Black Dragon materials.

That creature truly lives up to its reputation as an evil dragon in both worlds; its flesh and scales are imbued with a powerful curse. Even someone with a superhuman physique like Bai Feng would likely find it unpleasant to come into contact with it.

She had no idea how to deal with them at the moment.

As for the corpse of the Fatalis...

She stored the body in the "Minister's Treasury," intending to hand it over to them the next time she returned to the hunter's camp.

On the other side, having ended her battle with the black dragon, Meryuchina was finally able to begin absorbing the ancient dragon energy she had obtained from the Fatalis to continue replenishing herself.

But before that—

"Master, don't even think about backing out of my compensation~?"

Meiliu Qina licked her lips and impatiently approached step by step. Fujimaru Ritsuka retreated in fear, saying:

"Um, well, I think... @#￥%..."

-

Once again in the familiar dreamscape, the natural will of the new continent spoke with an apologetic tone—

"I'm sorry, Ritsuka, I can only communicate with you through dreams. I was unable to inform you of the arrival of that being in time."

"It's okay, as long as everyone is alright in the end, that's enough."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head guiltily and chuckled sheepishly.

In this matter, the Black Dragon was originally attracted by her and Meiliuqina, so it was already good enough that its will could remind them of the Black Dragon's existence.

On the contrary, she inadvertently caused the hunters to almost suffer, and their stronghold was burned down, which was somewhat embarrassing to think about.

Then she remembered something and quickly asked with concern:

"By the way, are you alright?"

During the battle with the black dragon, the enemy not only burned down the hunters' stronghold, but the Ancient Forest was also nearly destroyed. Fujimaru Ritsuka was worried that the will of nature would also be harmed as a result.

The will of nature answered:

"It's nothing, this level is nothing."

Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After apologizing, the two started talking about the battle again, and their natural will quickly became excited, their tone quite cheerful.

"I never expected that you would not only successfully defeat that wretched red dragon, but also defeat that being as well!"

"This is all thanks to the strength of me and my companions."

She smiled modestly, but when the topic turned to companions, Natural Will asked with some doubt:

"Why does that ancient dragon, Meliuqina, look like that? Are all ancient dragons in your world like that?"

"That appearance?"

She paused for a moment, then quickly realized that the other person was referring to Meryuchina's dragon fairy form, so she explained:

"No, that's not Melyuchina's true dragon form, but..."

"Albion... incomplete... a broken dragon..."

She briefly recounted the situation of Meiliuqina. After listening, the Will of Nature muttered something to itself and gradually fell silent.

Fujimaru Ritsuka had no idea what the will of nature was thinking, but besides reporting the situation to it, she had something else to say.

"We may have to leave once Melyuchina wakes up this time."

"leave?"

Upon hearing this, the Will of Nature asked, somewhat bewildered:

Are you going to another continent?

"No, we're going back."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head and explained:

"Leave this world and return to our own world."

The ancient dragons that threatened the ecology of the New World, such as the Netherworld Dragon, the Heavenly Crying Dragon, and the Crimson Dragon, have all been defeated by them.

And the information she originally planned to gather about this world should have been collected by now, so there's nothing else to do next.

So, it's time to go back.

"Left this world? Went back?"

Natural Will repeated her words, seemingly lost in thought.

After a moment, He spoke and asked:

"What about Melyuchina? Doesn't her body need further recovery?"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly and said:

"Of course I hope she can fully recover, but..."

Although it's unknown whether the ancient dragon energy from the Fatalis can completely repair Meryuchina's dragon body, it would be wonderful if it could.

But even if they couldn't, they wouldn't go so far as to slaughter other ancient dragons.

After all, apart from those special individuals, the ancient dragons themselves are also part of the ecosystem that makes up this world.

"Meliuchina also said that she never imagined her body could be repaired, and that it was already very good to have reached this level."

"..."

After listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's speech, the will of nature fell silent once again.

After a moment, He asked again:

"Then, will you come back?"

He has lived through countless years since His birth, and in those countless years, Fujimaru Ritsuka was the first person who was able to communicate with Him freely. This period of time was also a novel experience that He had never had before.

And at the moment the other party said they were leaving, He finally understood what the emotion called reluctance to part was.

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled knowingly and nodded without hesitation:

"Of course."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 308 Awakening, how much more is enough?

For the next few days, Fujimaru Ritsuka stayed by the sleeping Meryuchina and Nergigante every step of the way.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have gone crazy from boredom long ago.

But for Fujimaru Ritsuka, it was just a temporary return to her carefree otaku life. She spent her days playing games, reading manga and novels, with unlimited snacks and drinks, and no worries about washing up – she was completely absorbed in her pleasures.

Of course, I didn't skip my daily training, otherwise I would have been in big trouble when I got back to Chaldea.

"Well, um..."

Finally, on the third day, accompanied by a few murmurs, Mei Liuqina's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes groggily.

"You're awake!"

Seeing that Meiliu Qina had woken up, Fujimaru Ritsuka put down her game console with delight and greeted her with a smile.

Upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure, Meiliu Shina finally regained some composure and smiled:

Good morning, Master.

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with some anticipation:

"how's it going?"

"Um……"

However, the smile on Meiliuqina's face vanished instantly at the mention of this matter, and she shook her head sullenly, saying:

"I'm sorry, it didn't work."

"That's it..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head, feeling a little disappointed.

However, seeing the disappointed look on Meiliuqina's face, she immediately smiled and comforted her:
