Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

The girl in the kimono and leather coat—Ryougi Shiki—is the same person. Only their personalities differ. If Ryougi Shiki is a girl named "Shiki," then this is a woman named "Ryougi Shiki."

"Liangyi" refers to the Yin and Yang shown in the Taiji diagram, and "Shi" is taken from the "Shi" in "Shishi" and "Shishi" in "Shishi God".

The Ryougi Shiki, or the Root Shiki, is the origin of the Ryougi Shiki, which is the physical personality that represents the root.

The origin, the source of all things, is both the beginning and the end of everything. It transcends the timeline and is the primordial force.

Therefore, Ryougi Shiki, the physical personality that is the root of all things, is an existence that should not have appeared in this world. From birth to death, she slumbered within Shiki's body.

Shiki cannot recognize the existence of Ryougi Shiki, and Ryougi Shiki cannot replace Shiki.

Why she was able to be summoned as a Servant in Chaldea remains unknown to both parties, but for both her and Fujimaru Ritsuka, it was an impossible and unrepeatable miracle.

Upon seeing Ryougi Shiki's spirit origin image, Fujimaru Ritsuka unconsciously smiled.

Although Ryougi Shiki has slightly less of a cat-like quality compared to Shiki, she is still extremely feminine, but essentially like a little girl, much like a clingy kitten.

Let's get back to the main topic.

If it were Ryougi Shiki herself, she was certain that all her previous assumptions would come true, but what if it was just her Spirit Origin Shadow?

"Can it be done?"

She calmed herself down and tried to repeat the experiment, but after a while, she sighed again.

It still doesn't work; I can't feel anything.

"Was it really too much to ask for a Spirit Origin Shadow that was originally only intended for temporary combat?"

"So the only option is to draw cards."

She muttered to herself, somewhat annoyed, unaware that the spirit core beside her had undergone a subtle change.

The first to notice this were actually the students from the high school whose attention had been drawn to Fujimaru Ritsuka after she discovered that he had summoned a new Spirit Origin Shadow.

"Ritsuka, something seems wrong with your shikigami!"

Kugisaki Nobara hurriedly called out a reminder. At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed the change in the Spirit Origin Shadow in front of her and was immediately surprised.

"Huh, what's this...?"

The spirit origin shadow usually appears as a pitch-black shadow shrouded in thick black mist, which is an external manifestation of an unstable spirit origin and insufficient data.

However, for some reason, the black mist around the Spirit Origin Shadow gradually thinned, and the original pitch-black shadow gradually faded, revealing the original color of the original form.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down to her heels like a waterfall, and a pink epiphyllum hair ornament adorned her head, making her look elegant and beautiful. She wore a gorgeous kimono with an epiphyllum pattern, resembling a stunningly beautiful princess who had stepped out of a historical drama.

However, the sharp katana in his hand added a touch of heroism to his demeanor.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, the other person slowly opened their bright azure eyes, and upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka before them, revealed a gentle, flower-like smile.

"Master, is it because you miss me?"

Gender: Female

[Attribute]: Neutral/Moderate

【Strength】：E

[Durability]: A

[Agility]: C

[Magic]: B

[Lucky]: A

[Noble Phantasm]: B+ —

Fujimaru Ritsuka is still in a state of shock and confusion.

Although she wanted to say that she had traveled all over the country for so many years and had seen all kinds of storms, she had never seen anything like this before.

The Command Seals connect them to tell her that the person before her has a true Servant Spirit Origin, not a temporary entity like a Spirit Origin Shadow.

But to be directly promoted from a Spirit Origin Shadow to a true Servant is simply unheard of.

Therefore, facing Ryougi Shiki, who was beaming with smiles, she hesitated for a moment before calling out:

"Ryougi Shiki?"

"Yes, it's me."

Ryougi Shiki smiled and nodded, still with that weary yet gentle demeanor, soothing Fujimaru Ritsuka's doubtful and uneasy heart, and gradually making her feel a sense of reality towards the person in front of her.

Do you still remember Chaldea?

"Of course, I just came from over there."

After confirming that the other person was indeed the same one from Chaldea, she finally felt relieved, and then asked with some worry:

"Why were you able to appear from the Spirit Origin Shadow? Did you use some special method? Is there any danger?"

"Don't worry, there's no danger."

Ryougi Shiki shook her head and smiled:

“The Spirit Origin Shadow is also a part of me, and it is something I can do to manifest through it. As you know, my existence is different from that of ordinary Servants.”

"However, I couldn't have come here on my own. It was because you summoned my Spirit Origin Shadow that I was able to barely reach this place with your help."

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized.

Although Ryougi Shiki's explanation sounds absurd, it seems quite reasonable because it happened to her.

After all, it's a root cause approach.

"But even if it were possible, it wouldn't be as easy as it sounds, would it? Why go to such lengths?"

Faced with the question, Ryougi Shiki smiled and said:

"Because I sensed that you, Master, seem to be troubled by something. I think you must need my power, right?"

Although human reason and destiny have nothing to do with me, but for your sake—

I'm willing to make any mistake.

The confession from back then seemed to echo in her ears again. Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment, then smiled sincerely and nodded emphatically:

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Ryougi Shiki's smile brightened a bit:

"If that's what you'd like."

"So,"

After exchanging pleasantries with Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ryougi Shiki turned her gaze to the students beside her and asked:

"Master, are these the enemies I need to eliminate?"

After Ryougi Shiki appeared, all the students at the vocational high school assumed a defensive stance, looking at her as if facing a formidable enemy, radiating a faint hostility.

However, this was a perfectly reasonable reaction. Even Fujimaru Ritsuka was taken aback by Ryougi Shiki's entrance. How could the others not be wary of such an unusual situation?

Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly said:

"No, they are my comrades, not enemies!"

Then she took Ryougi Shiki's hand to show that the other party posed no threat, and then introduced her to everyone:

"Her name is Ryougi Shiki. Although her summoning method is different from usual, she is indeed my Servant."

As she spoke, she scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and laughed:

"Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was still very good, haha."

Jeanne Alter remained silent, simply standing beside Fujimaru Ritsuka. Regardless of how the situation unfolded, all she needed to do was follow Fujimaru Ritsuka's orders.

Since you say so

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's explanation, the group exchanged glances. Although they were still somewhat uneasy, they gradually let go of their hostility.

This is the result of the trust that Fujimaru Ritsuka built up during her time with everyone.

"So it was you all along?"

Just then, Gojo Satoru's excited voice rang out. He looked at Ryougi Shiki with eager anticipation and asked:

"Was it you who fought me that day?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 44 almost turned into a fight, but it was a close call.

"The guy who sparred with Gojo-sensei?"

"Two ceremonies?"

Upon hearing this, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugizaki Nobara exchanged a glance.

They all recalled that when they visited Fujimaru Ritsuka's Servant summoning ceremony that day, Gojo Satoru had remarked, "But I thought it would be Ryougi Shiki that was summoned. What a pity."

Could that Ryougi Shiki be the woman standing before me?

An opponent that Gojo Satoru has his eye on must be quite powerful, right?

On the other side, Ryougi Shiki looked at Gojo Satoru with some confusion, wondering what he was saying.

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained to him:

"No, Gojo-sensei, although I summoned Ryougi Shiki before, to be precise, it should be Shiki. The Ryougi Shiki next to me is a different person."

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's explanation, Ryougi Shiki also suddenly realized and said to Gojo:

"So you've seen that child before and fought her? To be able to survive against her, you seem to be quite capable."
