Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Did you share memories with Shinpei and that traitor?"

Upon hearing this, Bo Dao tilted his head, not paying much attention to it, and instead said enthusiastically:

"So……!"

She paused suddenly halfway through her sentence, then changed her words:

"Because I want to take everyone back to our hometown!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed this subtle anomaly.

Since the Shadow Tide can quickly transmit information through shared memories, there's no reason why Wave Indigo, as the "Mother," can't do the same.

But for some reason, the other party suddenly chose to communicate verbally.

Is it because she doesn't trust him yet?

But something doesn't feel right.

Also, returning to one's hometown?

This keyword caught her attention, and soon, Bodao provided her with an answer.

The hometown that Bodao mentioned is called "Tokiyo".

Although it is called her hometown, it is more accurate to say that it is a different dimension that she was born into.

【Eternal Night】Located in a dimension one level higher than the current world, where time does not flow, it is an eternally peaceful paradise.

However, only she and the shadows she reproduces can reside in the [Eternal Night] for a long time. If an ordinary human enters the [Eternal Night], their body will gradually collapse until it turns into invisible data and becomes nourishment for the [Eternal Night].

Therefore, her plan was simple: to transform the islanders she loved into shadows, take them with her to the "Eternal Night," and live a happy life forever.

"Forehead"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression became somewhat subtle.

This means that Bo Dao's original intention was good, but due to differences in values ​​and extreme methods, her behavior was unacceptable to people and caused serious consequences.

What a strong sense of déjà vu.

She felt as if she had dealt with countless similar incidents back in Chaldea, and she didn't expect this time to be the same.

Moreover, it seems that the vast majority of those who instigated those events eventually came to Chaldea and became her Servants.

Ah this

Thinking of this, she fell silent for a moment.

On the bright side, doesn't this just show that she's an expert at handling these kinds of incidents?

Of course, now is not the time to consider these issues, because Bo Dao's words cannot fully explain her behavior.

So she continued to ask:

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to simply turn the island's inhabitants into shadows and return them to [Eternal Night]? Why kill everyone on the island?"

Upon hearing this question, Bo Dao suddenly became dejected and said with a wronged expression:

"Because I was seriously injured, I need to recover first."

"A very serious injury?"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka instinctively asked with concern:

"Where are you hurt? Are you alright?"

Seeing that the concern and worry on her face seemed genuine, Bo Dao immediately smiled from the bottom of his heart, as if even his injuries had improved a lot under her care.

"Yes, everything is fine for now."

When she started talking about her injuries, her smile faded considerably.

"However, my body is getting weaker and weaker, and if this continues..."

As if she had thought of something terrible, Ina's body trembled slightly with fear. Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka patted her head reassuringly.

With comfort from Fujimaru Ritsuka, her emotions stabilized again, and she continued to recount the reasons for the entire incident.

During the war, Wakayama City and Hitoshima Island, which served as a defensive base, were targeted by air raids and bombed. It was during this time that the main body of the Wave Indigo was severely damaged.

As a high-dimensional being that feeds on information, her body would naturally recover once she received enough information.

On Earth, the organism with the most information is humankind.

Since transforming into a human and living in seclusion on Ridu Island, she has been feeding on human corpses. However, after suffering severe injuries, she urgently needs a large amount of information, but the residents of Ridu Island are unable to meet her needs.

With her injuries failing to heal and food shortages, her body grew increasingly weak and eventually succumbed to death.

Furthermore, since [Eternal Night] is an alternate dimension that exists alongside her, if she dies, [Eternal Night] will also collapse.

This was clearly not the outcome she wanted.

So she and Masato Karikiri devised a plan: to turn the island's inhabitants into shadows, and at the summer festival on the 24th, to heal her injuries by devouring a large number of tourists, and then take everyone to the "Eternal Night" to live a happy life forever.

"Isn't this a fantastic plan!"

After saying that, Hata stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka with sparkling eyes, like a child waiting to be praised.

"Forehead"

But at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka found it difficult to praise her against his will.

According to their plan, she was the tourist who should have been devoured!

Just then, Karikiri Masato, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly smiled and spoke:

"Speaking of which, it seems we still don't know the name of this young lady from the same clan as Bodao."

"Yup!"

Ina suddenly woke up, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. Seeing this, she could only introduce herself:

"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, you can just call me Ritsuka."

Bo Dao asked expectantly:

"Can I call you Ritsuka-neechan?"

She smiled and said:

"of course."

Bo Dao happily pounced on it again.

"Ritsuka-neechan!"

On the other side, seeing the intimate interaction between the two, Masato Karikiri smiled and said:

"So, Ms. Ritsuka, now that you've heard our plan, what are your thoughts?"

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could answer, he answered his own question:

"Great, isn't it?"

"Since you are of the same race as Bodao, you should also understand how insignificant humans are to Bodao."

"Sacrificing a few unfamiliar tourists in exchange for the healing of the island's rice paddies and the immortality of all the island's inhabitants, I don't think there's a better deal than this."

After saying that, he smiled and said:

"Therefore, I sincerely hope that you, as a member of the same family as the rice plant, can also join our plan."

“I think that compared to those insignificant humans, Bodao and we are your true family, aren’t we?”

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the squinty-eyed man in front of her, a strange thought forming in her mind.

Based on her extensive experience in handling such incidents, there are usually one or two culprits in such cases.

One is like Bo Dao, who, despite having good intentions, became the culprit for the tragedy due to various reasons;

There is another, often hidden, truly malicious culprit who misleads the former or fuels the flames.

This guy named Masato Karigiri is very much like the latter.

With this in mind, she pondered for a moment before speaking in response to the invitation:

"Sorry, I refuse to join."

"Huh? Why?!"

The first to react was not Masato Kagiri, but Ina Hatsumi.

She clung tightly to Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm, as if afraid she would leave like this, and asked anxiously:

"Ritsuka-neechan, why don't you want to join our plan?! Did I do something wrong?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her and said:

“If someone wants you to turn them into a shadow entirely of their own free will, I have no problem with that.”

"But Bo Dao should understand this too, right? Not everyone wants to be turned into a shadow, right?"

"I"

Bo Dao lowered his head slightly in shame, like a child who had made a mistake.

Sure enough, although the other party was a species completely different from humans, having lived in human society for hundreds of years and having copied human information, she did not truly lack human concepts; she simply did not care.

However, now, faced with accusations from her closest clansmen, she could no longer act as willfully as before and could only obediently admit her mistake.

She said, somewhat aggrieved:

"But if it's voluntary, not many people would be willing."

Even so, you can't force the other person, can you?

Saying this, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with a smile:
