Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"—!"

The moment the words were spoken, the scholars and researchers who had been engrossed in their research turned around abruptly, as if their hungry young had seen their mother returning from hunting.

Upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, their eyes lit up, but they hesitated to rush to her immediately, instead whispering amongst themselves.

"It really is them!"

"They were actually able to defeat that kind of monster, just how strong are they...?"

"She does look quite cute, but..."

"Hey, who's going up to say hello? Do we still need to discuss this?"

"I don't dare, why don't you go?"

"I wouldn't dare..."

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat amused and exasperated, wondering when she had developed such an intimidating presence. She had no choice but to speak first:

"If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them if I know the answer."

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was behaving very well, the group finally exchanged glances. A few of the bolder scholars stepped forward and cautiously began to speak:

"Lady Fujimaru Ritsuka, I have a question about the Heavenly Crying Dragon..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Just call me Lixiang."

As the conversation continued, everyone gradually realized that Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to be a very easy person to talk to, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed, but sometimes it would become a little strange.

The questions raised by the scholars were generally quite normal, such as the habitat of the Heavenly Roaring Dragon, its attack methods, its special abilities, etc., and Fujimaru Ritsuka answered them whenever she could.

But occasionally, she would encounter bizarre questions like "How does the Heavenly Roaring Dragon reproduce?", "What does it usually eat?", and "What is its personality like?", leaving her feeling utterly bewildered.

They only fought a battle with each other, they didn't live together, how could she possibly know these things?

Overall, however, things went smoothly.

Just then, she suddenly thought of something and said:

"By the way, I still have the corpse of an ancient dragon. Is there any room here?"

“…Eh?” ×n

Chapter 311 Discusses How Useful the Fifth Fleet's Tools Are

"Safi'jiiva? An adult Xeno'jiiva!?"

The discovery of the Safi'jiiva corpse was undoubtedly both exciting and painful news for the researchers.

The excitement comes from the new monsters to study, but the pain comes from the fact that this temporary base is in dire need of rebuilding, and there are many other things to handle besides research, making it difficult to keep up with everything.

However, this has nothing to do with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After handing over the corpse of the Safi'jiiva and providing as much information as they could, they left the ecological research institute.

Next, Reya took Fujimaru Ritsuka to the accommodation area and settled her in.

Although it was supposed to be an accommodation area, it was still under construction, so most people were staying in tents. Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, led by Reya, found an open space, took out her own tent, set it up, and that was it.

However, the modern, high-tech tent stood out like a crane among chickens among a group of simple tents.

Reya laughed:

"Ritsuka, you've just gotten back, so rest here for a bit. I'll go help out a bit more, and then we'll go eat together when it's time."

"Aibo and the others should be back by tomorrow!"

The Annihilator Dragon didn't seem to have any particular thoughts. Upon hearing this, it simply lay down in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka's tent and began to sleep.

"Ah."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, and looking at the bustling scene inside the temporary base, she said:

"Or, how about I help out too?"

Reya paused for a moment, then nodded happily and said:

"Okay, let's go together then!"

-

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

"Hey, watch out!"

Why use so much force!

"You little brat, watch your step! If you fall again, I'll chop you to pieces with my greatsword!"

"Hmph, my katana isn't to be trifled with either."

"Get out of here, get out of here!..."

Since the decision was made to build a new base from scratch here, construction was in full swing everywhere they went.

Moreover, it must be said that the efficiency is extremely impressive.

Although the technology in this world is not advanced, when it comes to physical labor, the elite hunters of the Fifth Fleet are simply the chosen ones.

Their immense strength and physique allow them to easily handle objects weighing thousands of pounds, not only for moving heavy loads but also for leveling roads, removing obstacles, and carving out caves...

Physical labor poses no challenge for these superhuman beings.

Moreover, the pterosaurs that hunters travel with are also capable of easily lifting hundreds or thousands of kilograms of weight and flying with such loads, which is incredibly powerful.

Especially for the hunters who use hammers as weapons, it's like a second job. They don't even need to change into any other professional tools; they can just pick up their weapons and start working right away.

It was with the help of these chosen ones that the vast majority of the supplies in the [Starry Sky] base were successfully transferred in just a few days, without causing too much loss.

Non-combatants like Reya took on the overall coordination and management work.

Reya had originally planned to assign Fujimaru Ritsuka to this job, but Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly found a job that suited her better.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, meow, please help deliver it to the area ahead... Thank you, meow!"

"Ok, no problem."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled as she placed the last item into the "Treasury of the Subject," then turned and left with Meiru Zina, leaving a group of Palicoes staring in disbelief at her retreating figure.

"Meow--?"

Transporting huge, heavy cargo is easy for the Fifth Fleet's toolmen, but small, delicate, fragile, and messy cargo is more difficult to handle.

Since it would be a waste of manpower to have the hunters carry it, this task was mostly given to the hunters' partners, namely the Palicoes.

The arrival of Fujimaru Ritsuka rendered these Palicoes unemployed instantly.

Although there are many Palicoes, they can only carry goods one by one, and occasionally damage is caused by accident during transportation.

Therefore, the "Treasure Trove of the Subjects," where Fujimaru Ritsuka contained everything, directly dealt a devastating blow to the Palicoes.

"That's the Fujimaru Ritsuka-sama that Xia Lu mentioned, meow..."

"Wow, that's amazing, meow."

"It is said that the powerful equipment that Xia Lu is wearing was made from materials provided by the other party, meow."

"I'm so envious, meow..."

"As expected of someone from another world, meow!"

"But what about the boss, meow? Our jobs have been stolen, meow."

The Palicoes, who were originally responsible for moving the goods, were all talking amongst themselves, while the Palico leader scratched his head in confusion, not knowing what to do.

Are you free right now?

Fortunately, Reya appeared just in time and smiled at the Palicoes in front of her:

"If you have some free time, we happen to need a team of Elf support over there. Could you please help us?"

The Palicoes immediately perked up.

"Of course, meow!"

……

...

In the midst of their busy work, the day passed quickly. As the sun set and night fell, bonfires were lit in the outpost, marking a temporary end to their hectic work.

The food preparation area was now bustling with activity, becoming the most lively area in the base.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

"Cool!"

"I'm exhausted. I never thought working would be more tiring than fighting."

"That's right."

"I should have gone out with Commander Bai Feng and the others."

"You have the nerve to say that? You're the laziest kid ever!"

"Hey, even if we're friends, I'll sue you for defamation if you talk nonsense!"

Despite the somewhat rudimentary conditions, the head chef and the other Palico helpers still did their best to reward the research team members who had worked hard all day with the most delicious food.

"Ritsuka, Meiryu Shina, over here, over here!"

Reya, the ultimate foodie, arrived early to reserve a spot, and the table was filled with steaming hot food. Upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiliu Shina, she quickly waved to them.

"coming!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiru Shina sat down opposite Reya, who smiled and said:

"Thank you so much for your hard work today, you were a great help!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
