Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Upon hearing this, the three immediately quieted down and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled slightly and said:

"The world I live in is seemingly ordinary on the surface, but a mysterious world is developing in secret..."

……

...

The time spent soaking in the bath passed by in the blink of an eye, and the four girls walked out of the bathhouse together, their relationship clearly having become much closer.

Kudo Asuka seemed somewhat unsatisfied, but looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, she felt a little ashamed and said:

"I'm so sorry to have made you talk so much..."

Since the agreement was to exchange information, logically, everyone should have a part to say.

However, because Fujimaru Ritsuka's story was so captivating, even a brief overview kept them engrossed, and no one spoke up to remind her, allowing her to occupy most of the time.

"it's okay."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and waved her hand dismissively, saying:

"There's plenty of time in the future!"

"exactly!"

Black Rabbit laughed and echoed:

"As partners who support each other, I believe that one day we will all be able to trust and be honest with each other!"

...A companion?

Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yō's expressions were somewhat subtle, but in the end, they both gave a slight smile and nodded:

"Hmm!" ×2

"Master! / Master!"

In this joyful atmosphere, the figures of Number 1 and Number 2 appeared beside Fujimaru Ritsuka, startling the group.

Because the situation had been somewhat chaotic, Fujimaru Ritsuka worried that if she sent the two back before explaining things clearly, it would give the impression that she was covering something up, so she let them stay for the time being.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Just now, we caught a group of guys trying to sneak into the residential area."

"Those villains have been tied up. Would you like to go and take a look, sir?"

"What?" ×n

The news they brought surprised all the women, and Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately said:

"Take us to see it."

Yes. / Yes!

The group rushed to their destination with Number 1 and Number 2, only to find that in addition to dozens of bound infiltrators, Jin and Izayoi Sakamaki had also arrived and seemed to have already communicated with the infiltrators.

"Young Master Ren, Lord Izayoi!"

"Oh, so the young ladies' bath time is finally over? Now it's finally my turn and the little master's turn, right?"

Izayoi Sakamaki casually greeted them, then looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and said with a grin:

"I must say, your maids are quite capable; they didn't even give me a chance to make a move."

"Were all these people dealt with by Number 1 and Number 2?"

Black Rabbit and the others were somewhat surprised to hear this, while Number 2 puffed out his chest with a hint of pride and said:

"Although we can't be considered skilled in combat, we've accumulated long-term training by the side of our lord, Daikokuten, so clearing out some grunts shouldn't be a problem!"

However, compared to the power she flaunted, what was more intriguing was her mention of 'our lord'.

Kuon Asuka hesitated for a moment and said:

"What do you mean by 'Mahakala'...?"

"Of course it's Daikokuten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, the god of good fortune and blessings!"

"What?!" ×n

Everyone looked at Number 1 and Number 2 in surprise, and then their gazes turned to the master they were now serving, Fujimaru Ritsuka, their eyes full of inquiry and doubt.

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head and chuckled awkwardly:

"That's all there is to it, but let's talk about this later."

She brushed it off for now, then approached Ren, looked at the equally shocked infiltrators, and asked him:

"What's going on with these people?"

"what,"

Upon hearing the question, Ren snapped out of his daze. Remembering the secrets he'd gleaned from those guys, his expression darkened, and he explained in a low voice:

"They are members of Fores Garo."

"The purpose of this infiltration of our base is to kidnap the children who are unable to do anything, and then use them to blackmail us into participating in Jard's Gift Game, and force us to admit defeat to him."

Chapter 545 Solutions to the Problem, Goals of the Community

"Child kidnapping?"

The group's expressions immediately changed, and their eyes filled with hostility as they looked at the intruder. Kudo Asuka spoke with disgust:

"That's really classic villainous behavior—despicable, base, and low-class... But then again, is it permissible to interfere with the game through such behavior in a miniature garden?"

"Of course not!"

Black Rabbit's face was equally grim, but upon hearing this, she immediately and hurriedly explained:

"This method is definitely illegal, and it will be subject to appropriate sanctions if it is discovered!"

"Is that so? That seems rather regrettable. Anyway, since that's the case, can we ensure that guy receives the punishment he deserves based on these guys' testimonies?"

"I'm afraid we'll need more concrete evidence. But if the facts are clear, we should be able to get the results of the investigation soon, right?"

As she spoke, Black Rabbit seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became somewhat hesitant, saying:

"But if the other party escapes from Hakoniwa City before that, then we'll just have to let it go like this."

More importantly, they were located on the seventh floor, the outermost edge of the East District. If the other party intended to escape the Little Garden before being punished, it would be an easy task.

While this can be considered a form of "sanction" in a sense, it is clearly not an outcome that will satisfy everyone.

"Speaking of which, what should we do with these guys?"

Kasukabe Yō looked at the infiltrators who were tied to the ground and asked.

Because of Kasukabe Yō's problem, everyone's attention turned to them again. Seeing this, the infiltrators on the ground exchanged glances, and one of them, as if having made up his mind, lowered his head and pleaded:

"If it were you, you should be able to do it, right? I beg you to completely defeat us... no, I beg you to completely defeat the Demon King's community, [Fores Garo]!"

In reality, these infiltrators originally belonged to their own communities. They were forced to merge into each other's communities and work for the other side because Jard had taken their children hostage.

This is the fundamental reason why Jard was able to annex all the nearby medium-sized communities in less than three years.

"But in the end, aren't you also accomplices in this evil?"

"Ugh...!"

Faced with Kudo Asuka's sharp and uninteresting statement, the infiltrators were speechless and could only lower their heads in shame.

Let's return to the question of 'how to handle this incident'.

It is foreseeable that, whether they choose to let the infiltrators go empty-handed or detain them temporarily, Jard will soon realize that his secret has been exposed.

Fujimaru Ritsuka tried to suggest:

"How about we use this secret as leverage to send them a game invitation?"

Now Jard only has two choices: either kill them to silence them, or slink away from the Little Garden City. And considering that they have a renowned "Little Garden Noble" like Black Rabbit on their side, the other side will most likely choose the latter.

If he chooses to play a game with them, as long as he wins the game, he can demand that they keep the secret, and even take over their community as well.

Others also thought the idea was good, but Ren had some concerns:

"But during the day, Miss Asuka showed him overwhelming power, so I think he might not agree to play the game."

Kuon Asuka raised an eyebrow and said:

"What do you mean? Are you blaming me for intervening during the day?"

"Of course not...!"

Ren hurriedly tried to explain, but as he said, it was indeed a problem, so—

"Then let's just take him under control first."

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged and said:

"Although it's a bit against the rules, since the other party is undoubtedly a bad guy, as long as we control him and find evidence, we shouldn't be punished too severely, right?"

"It just so happens that flying birds can directly make the other party confess their crimes."

"Of course."

Kudo Asuka's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement without hesitation:

"As long as the other person hasn't gone mad, it's fine to get them to honestly recount their entire life from birth to the present, right?"

Actually, she didn't really like this ability of hers, but if it was used in this kind of situation, she was very willing to serve.

"That's a good idea!"

Even the rebellious-looking Izayoi Sakamaki chuckled:

"Besides, since they invaded our territory first, it's only reasonable for us to retaliate in kind, isn't it?"

Kasukabe Yo also nodded and said, "I agree."
