Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

These included prohibitions against harming humans, leaving Japan, and reporting all actions to him.

To be honest, he didn't expect Fujimaru Ritsuka to accept these conditions so obediently; he thought there would be a fight or something first.

"No need, it's fine as it is now, and actually I haven't felt any impact."

On the other side, upon hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek and laughed:

"As for helping or anything, it's not really that much of a favor. After all, I'm a college student, so isn't it only natural for me to do these things?"

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression as if he were talking about a normal topic, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Ritsuka, you really are..."

'After all, I am also a student at a vocational college'?

Now Gojo Satoru finally understood why Fujimaru Ritsuka had gained the trust and affection of her classmates so quickly. So that's why.

Because that's the kind of person she is; she deserves to be liked and trusted by others.

"That's true. You're my student, so it's only natural for you to help your teacher solve problems!"

Gojo Satoru patted Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder approvingly, then pulled a candy from his pocket and handed it to her, saying happily:

"Very good awareness, the teacher is very happy! Here, here's a candy for you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Gojo."

Fujimaru Ritsuka readily accepted the candy, casually tore open the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

Hmm, it's a sweet and sour fruit candy, and it tastes pretty good.

“It’s delicious.”

"Right!"

-

That evening, Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to her room, took a shower, and lay on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The date for the second competition at the exchange meeting has been set. It has been decided that after a rest day tomorrow, the competition will continue the day after tomorrow.

She's now wondering what she can do with her free time tomorrow.

Let's first organize the current situation.

First, she was accidentally transported to the Conan world, and shortly after discovering that she could not return to Chaldea, she was transported again to the Jujutsu world she is in now.

She wasn't carrying a mission this time, and frankly, she didn't necessarily have to stay in the Jujutsu World; returning to the Conan World would also be a good option.

However, the reason she stayed in this world temporarily was solely due to her own wishes.

Nanami Kento, Kugizaki Nobara, Yoshino Junpei, Gojo Satoru

Now that she has come to this world and happens to have the power to participate, she naturally hopes to make some positive changes, which is her true purpose.

And so far, initial results have been seen.

Yoshino Junpei was rescued and joined Tokyo High School, but she killed the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Master and Hanamichi beforehand.

But that wasn't enough; she knew the most intense part of the situation was only just beginning.

So next.

She tried hard to recall the original plot line in her mind, to speculate on how things would develop next, how she should deal with it, and whether she should continue to increase her combat power.

Oh, right, with Kokichi!

She suddenly remembered that, as a key figure hidden in this attack, he was an undercover agent who had made a deal with the other party and then infiltrated the high school. After completing the deal, he tried to escape and pass on information to Gojo Satoru, but failed.

Perhaps I should talk to them tomorrow.

But where should we begin? Or should we just get straight to the point and confront them?

"."

As she pondered, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyelids began to droop, and slowly, she drifted off to sleep on the bed.

"Ugh."

Jeanne Alter, materialized from spirit particles, appeared out of thin air. Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's completely unguarded state, she sighed helplessly, covered her with the blanket, and complained:

"You really can't stay still anywhere, can you?"

At that moment, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's cute and peaceful sleeping face, a bold idea suddenly popped into her mind!

The next moment, Joan of Arc Alter blushed, and she and the thief seemed to be looking around frantically, as if afraid of being discovered.

But this is not Chaldea. At night, Fujimaru Ritsuka's room doesn't have many uninvited guests, and no one can see into her heart.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the oblivious Fujimaru Ritsuka, after hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind, blushed, and quietly went forward, crawled into Fujimaru Ritsuka's bed, and lay down next to her.

Hmph, so many Servants have managed to get through, why can't she?!

She comforted herself in this way.

Turning to the side, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's quiet profile so close to hers, she finally revealed a satisfied expression and whispered:

"Good night."

Chapter 40 Fujimaru Ritsuka's Abandoned Hole

"here it is?"

Gojo Satoru stared into the pitch-black, chaotic space before him, lost in thought.

If I remember correctly, he should have just fallen asleep not long ago.

Is it a dream?

But having such a bizarre dream is just awful, isn't it?

"This is Ritsuka's abandoned hole."

Suddenly, a male voice came from behind, answering Gojo Satoru's self-talk.

Gojo Satoru turned around and saw a man dressed in a dark green top hat, cloak and suit suddenly appear behind him.

"Abandoned holes? I mean, don't just throw out new features like that."

"Besides, isn't it polite to introduce yourself before striking up a conversation with someone? So, who are you, young man?"

The man answered calmly:

“I am Fujimaru Ritsuka’s servant. You can call me the Count of Monte Cristo.”

Servant, like Jeanne d'Arc Alter? I've never heard Ritsuka mention that before, and also, the Count of Monte Cristo...

"The Count of Monte Cristo? You're Edmond Dantès?"

Having recognized the person's real name, Gojo Satoru looked him up and down with a surprised expression and said:

"Hey, hey, hey, seriously?! You can even summon fictional characters from novels? That's way too overpowered!"

However, the Cave King corrected his statement:

"No, I am merely the King of the Cave."

"After Edmond Dantès carried out his fierce revenge in Paris, he abandoned his evil deeds, while I, as a Servant present in this world, will continue to exist as the [Idol of the Vengeful Demon]. Therefore, we are not the same individual."

"Is that so? Okay, okay."

Gojo Satoru nodded thoughtfully, because Jeanne d'Arc Alter was also such an ambiguous existence, so he was able to understand it quickly.

Is this the composition of all Servants summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka?

No, to be more precise, we can only infer at present that Joan of Arc Alter and the Cave King in front of us are similar types of beings.

"In that case, let me introduce myself as well."

"My name is Gojo Satoru, I am the world's strongest sorcerer, and currently Fujimaru Ritsuka's teacher. Nice to meet you!"

After introducing himself, Gojo Satoru asked with a smile:

"So, shall we proceed with the Q&A session?"

"For example, where is this place? What does 'abandoned hole' mean? Why am I here? And what do you want me to do?"

The moment he learned of the Cave King's identity, he knew that he had not come to this place by accident.

The man in front of me, named King of the Cave, is probably the reason he is here.

Faced with a barrage of questions from Gojo Satoru, the Count of Monte Cristo calmly answered them one by one:

"This is inside the abandoned hole of Fujimaru Ritsuka, a virtual space that shouldn't exist."

"The term 'imaginary' means 'theoretically existing but actually not existing.' The imaginary space is the inner side of the world, an imaginary space that contains all possibilities."

In other words, a space that should not exist in the first place, containing all possibilities.

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru interjected and asked:

"If it's a space that shouldn't exist, then why does it exist on Ritsuka?"

The Cave King glanced at him and said:

"This place only exists for us who are currently in it. For outsiders, including Fujimaru Ritsuka, this place does not exist."

"After you leave this space, you will no longer know anything about it."

Gojo Satoru seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this, as he keenly noticed a word used by the Count of Monte Cristo in his narration—"temporarily."

Does "temporarily" mean that this space exists only temporarily, or that it does not exist only temporarily?

The Cave King continued:

“Abandoned holes can be simply understood as places used to discard ‘bad things,’ namely, places where malicious information and sludge accumulate.”

"What the abandoned hole contains is the malice, curses, and remnants of death from the enemies that Fujimaru Ritsuka encountered along the way, as well as her own negative emotions."

"It sounds like we're talking about an area I'm familiar with, but..."

Gojo Satoru rubbed his chin, examining the seemingly endless chaos before him, trying to figure out exactly where these so-called negative emotions were.
