Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement, but—

"Lord God?"

Seeing her puzzled look, Reya explained:

"It is the natural consciousness of the New World that you mentioned."

"I'm thinking, such beings could be considered deities nurtured by the natural ecosystem, right?"

"emmmmm..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about it and felt that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Then, Reya became happy again and said:

"Now that everything's over, we can probably stay a little longer this time, right? I just discovered a really good mushroom that I wanted to share with you!"

"Um, well..."

She hesitated upon hearing this, but before she could finish speaking, a strange voice suddenly came from the side—

"Excuse me, are you Fujimaru Ritsuka-sama?"

"Ok?"

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange dragon-human male wearing round-framed glasses and scholar's attire.

"It's me, but you can just call me Ritsuka. May I ask...?"

Just as she was wondering why the other person had suddenly approached her, Reya greeted the other person familiarly and smiled:

"You came to see Ritsuka because of your research on the Heavenly Crying Dragon, right?"

"Yes."

The man smiled and nodded, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, becoming respectful once more:

“Fujimaru… Ms. Ritsuka, I am a researcher from the Third Fleet. Our team is currently conducting research on the Heavenly Crying Dragon.”

"As the one who subdued the enemy, you witnessed its living state, so we hope to ask you some questions as research material for the Heavenly Roaring Dragon."

"So, what do you think...?"

Looking at the cautiously approaching Dragonkin Research Institute, Fujimaru Ritsuka unconsciously scratched her cheek, smiled, and nodded in agreement:

"of course can."

"But I need to see the Commander-in-Chief first. Can I go later?"

"No problem at all!"

Upon receiving Fujimaru Ritsuka's affirmative answer, the dragon-human researcher was immediately overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

"The Institute of Ecology welcomes you at any time, so...!"

After saying that, the dragon-human researcher turned and left happily. Before leaving, he finally couldn't help but take a curious look at the World Destroyer Dragon behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Why has it changed again?

After the other person's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ask Reya:

"What's up with that person just now? Why was he so respectful to me, and seemed so nervous?"

"Am I that scary?"

"How could that be? Ritsuka, you're so cute!"

Reya explained with a chuckle:

"However, since you are now legendary figures within the investigation team."

These transmigrators from another world possess magical abilities to tame ancient dragons. They discover and defeat two unprecedentedly powerful ancient dragons, and even the legendary black dragon that could destroy the world in three days is defeated by them.

To hunters unfamiliar with Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiryu Shina, their deeds far surpassed their cute appearances; they were undeniably powerful and awe-inspiring figures, which explained their reaction.

Only those like Reya, who had the most frequent contact with Fujimaru Ritsuka, truly understood what Fujimaru Ritsuka's real personality was like.

Even so, recalling Fujimaru Ritsuka's amazing record, even Reja would find it incredible.

"That's it."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head, unsure of what to think.

Well, she's used to this kind of thing anyway.

Chapter 310 The Imposing Fujimaru Ritsuka

This little incident didn't affect them. Before long, they finally arrived at the meeting area of ​​the temporary base, where familiar figures appeared before them once again.

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could speak, Reya waved enthusiastically and called out to her loudly:

"Commander-in-Chief!"

The new base is currently under construction and is in a state of near ruin. The commander-in-chief is surrounded by a group of people who are having a heated discussion.

"Any news about the supply ships from the Old World?"

"...Of course, priority should be given to ensuring accommodation and meals..."

"The location of the forge..."

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the Commander-in-Chief suddenly heard Reya's call. He looked up and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others beside Reya, and was momentarily stunned.

Then, he said something to the people around him, temporarily extricated himself, and walked towards them.

"Commander-in-Chief."

Fujimaru Ritsuka greeted the other person with a smile.

"Ritsuka..."

However, the Commander-in-Chief's expression was somewhat complicated at this moment. After approaching Fujimaru Ritsuka, he smiled wryly and said:

"Thank you so much for saving Bai Feng and the others. Thank you for your help again."

"And I apologize for letting you leave the base back then, but in the end, I received your help in the end."

Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly waved her hand and said:

"It's alright. The Commander-in-Chief did that to avoid implicating us, right?"

The New World Survey Corps is an organization with a large number of bases and thousands of members.

In the Commander-in-Chief's vision, if the Black Dragon were to descend upon the New World, the Starry Sky base would undoubtedly be a very conspicuous target, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, being with them, would naturally be easily attacked.

On the contrary, as long as Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiryu Shina leave the base, even if they are still following the huge Nergigante, it is always much easier for them to hide than if they are with them.

It was with this in mind that he chose to let them leave.

However, no matter how much he considered it, he never expected that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiryu Shina's strength far exceeded his imagination, and they could even easily defeat the legendary Black Dragon.

If it weren't for the solemn assurances from the Grand Commander, Bai Feng, and others, he probably wouldn't have believed such a bizarre fact.

Even now, he still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

"and……"

At this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke up somewhat shyly:

"In the end, it was all because of me that the [Starry Sky] base was destroyed, and Bai Feng and the others almost got into danger. I am the one who should apologize more."

When this matter was brought up, the Commander-in-Chief was both amused and exasperated, unsure of how to react.

After Bai Feng and the others returned, they immediately reported all the details to him. He also fully understood why the black dragon had descended on the [Starry Sky] stronghold.

It's truly baffling that Fujimaru Ritsuka's well-intentioned deployment of detection magic around the base ended up attracting a black dragon instead.

However, the commander-in-chief quickly shook his head and chuckled:

"Just like the Grand Commander said, who can predict the final outcome of something like this?"

"In fact, even if you don't set up magic, the black dragon might still descend on the stronghold, and if that happens, Bai Feng and the others might be in danger."

This is like a prophetic story in mythology.

After learning of their tragic prophecy, some people do all sorts of things to try to avoid the tragic ending foretold, but these efforts only push them towards the prophetic fate.

"In short, it's enough that everyone is safe and sound in the end."

Hearing the Commander-in-Chief say this, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

"Ok!"

At this moment, the Commander-in-Chief unconsciously glanced at the Destroyer Dragon behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, a hint of curiosity appearing on his face.

Then he glanced at the organizers behind him, who were still arguing fiercely, and smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Although there's still a lot I want to say, we can't chat now. Let's wait until we get down and talk about it slowly."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, keep it up!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in understanding and offered him encouragement.

Watching the Commander-in-Chief resolutely turn back to his 'battlefield,' Fujimaru Ritsuka said to Reya:

"Let's go too."

After visiting the Commander-in-Chief, the next step, as agreed with the dragon-human researcher, was to head to the Ecological Research Institute under Reya's guidance.

Although the new base is built entirely inside the giant cave entrance and the ley line corridor, some facilities are built outside the cave entrance due to their nature.

For example, plant research institutes, ports and docks, and ecological research institutes that require sunlight.

The temporary ecological research institute was built not far from the temporary port to facilitate the transportation of the enormous monsters.

Before they even got close, they saw the corpse of the Heavenly Roaring Dragon lying on the huge makeshift platform. However, it looked rather incomplete, as if it had been dissected for research.

A group of scholars and researchers surrounded it, observing it while taking notes. Not far away, there was a small mountain of books, all kinds of documents and materials.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka attracted a lot of attention along the way, the dedicated scholars and researchers seemed unaware of their arrival.

Then Reya shouted again:

"Hey everyone, I brought Ritsuka!"
