Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Professor, please take good care of Ai first, don't worry about me."

Then, she smiled sadly at Haibara, who looked anxious:

"Ai, listen to the professor and don't act on your own."

"But.!"

Ai Haibara was about to say something more, but she gave a reassuring smile and said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Since you put it that way, fine, I understand."

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's order, Moriarty raised an eyebrow slightly, then abandoned his plan to take action.

Although he didn't know what his Master was planning to do, since she had other plans, he naturally wouldn't interfere without permission.

Most importantly, based on the information currently available about Masato and Ina, even if it were just Fujimaru Ritsuka alone, he didn't think the two of them could really cause her any harm.

Furthermore, if Fujimaru Ritsuka really didn't want to go with them, the small knife at her neck wouldn't be a threat to her.

Ultimately, the two sides are simply too far apart in terms of status.

Have you said hello?

After patiently waiting for Fujimaru Ritsuka to finish speaking, Karikiri Masato gestured for Nami to bring the other person to his side, and finally smiled at Amishiro Shinpei:

"Then let's part ways here, Shinpei-kun."

After saying that, he took Fujimaru Ritsuka hostage and quickly retreated with Hata, disappearing into the night.

".hateful!"

Net agent Shinpei let out an angry shout, all the joy of his previous great victory vanished.

Despite eliminating most of the shadows, the most important ones, Masakazukiri and Ina, were released, and the enemy even took one of their hostages with them.

What victory? It was a complete and utter defeat!

However, at this moment, Moriarty smiled and said:

"Everyone, please remain calm. As my young lady said, she will be fine."

"Next, let's continue to move forward steadily and surely."

-

Beneath Hitoshima Island, in the dark and damp Hiruko Cave, lies the stronghold of Masato Karikiri, Nagato, and the Shadows.

However, now, almost all the other shadows have been eliminated, and only Karikiri Masato and Hata Ina remain in Hiruko Cave, along with Fujimaru Ritsuka who was just kidnapped.

Having just escaped certain death, Masato Karigiri used the remaining black mud in Hiruko Cave to restore his armor, once again becoming a tall and robust Shitsune, thus regrouping.

But at this moment, his expression was not good, because of Fujimaru Ritsuka who had been kidnapped, and Nami who was comfortably sitting next to her.

Bo Dao was quite infatuated with and dependent on him, and usually stayed by his side or sat on his lap.

This is the first time in hundreds of years that someone has been abandoned in favor of another.

This uncontrollable situation made him feel violent.

However, on the surface, he still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, asking with a smile:

"Bo Dao, you can't be telling the truth, can you? Is this young lady really one of your people?"

He sized up Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of him; no matter how he looked at her, she seemed to be just an ordinary human.

However, upon closer reflection, the fact that the other party suddenly appeared and provided those terrifying weapons to Shinpei and others suggests that things are not as simple as they seem.

"Of course!"

Bo Dao once again gave an affirmative answer, saying:

"Although I don't know why it's human, a member of the clan is a member of the clan, and I will never mistake that for someone else!"

As she spoke, she hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm, nuzzling it affectionately like a kitten, and apologized to her:

"I'm sorry, I used rough methods to bring you here."

"Um, is it okay?"

She felt something was off, but that wasn't the point. She sincerely asked Bo Dao:

“I don’t mean to look down on you, but I really don’t know why you call me a fellow clansman. Can you tell me why?”

Upon hearing this, Masato Karikiri crossed his arms and chuckled with amusement:

"I am also very interested in this question."

"Could it be amnesia? That's strange."

Hata looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka suspiciously, and after repeatedly confirming that she was not lying, she murmured in a low voice with doubt.

"Okay, then I'll explain."

"But how should I put it?"

However, she was somewhat troubled about how to explain this.

"Oh, right!"

After frowning and deep in thought for a while, she suddenly had an idea and excitedly asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"You should also be able to travel freely between the past and the future, right?!"

"Me, uh..."

She paused for a moment when she heard the question.

Speaking of which, her [Spirit Transfer] ability not only allows her to physically travel to various singularities and cross Lostbelts, but also enables her to travel between different worlds.

As for traveling between the past and the future, it's certainly not as easy as they make it out to be, but if the question is simply whether it's possible—

It seems that it is possible.

So, under Bo Dao's expectant gaze, she nodded somewhat hesitantly and said:

"It's not really that free, but I can definitely do it."

"That's it!!"

Bo Dao immediately cheered with joy and rushed into her arms again, revealing a genuine smile.

"Really?"

Upon hearing her answer, Masato Karikiri, who was standing to the side, could no longer maintain his composure. He looked at her in astonishment and said in disbelief:

"So, you're also a higher-dimensional being!?"

"No,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused, scratched her head, and said:

"I think I should still be considered human?"

Hey, hey, hey, you can't just be expelled from the human race like this, can you?

Zero dimension is a point, one dimension is a line, two dimensions are a plane, three dimensions are a solid space, and four dimensions include time above three dimensions.

For example, the characters in comics are beings living in a two-dimensional world. They cannot see their past and future, but we, who live in a three-dimensional world, can browse through them at will.

The same applies to four-dimensional beings as to beings living in a three-dimensional world.

Bodao is such a high-dimensional being that feeds on information and wanders in the universe.

By sheer chance, she ate a meteorite and transformed into one, falling into the Earth's oceans. There, she ate all sorts of marine life and transformed into various kinds of marine creatures.

By sheer coincidence, the whale she had transformed into was stranded on the beach of Ridu Island in 1732, where she met a human girl named Bodao.

She ate the other person and transformed into them, thus becoming what she is today.

Although she has become human, she is not a real human. To her, humans are no different from pigs, dogs, stones, trees, and other such things; they are all just pieces of information in the three-dimensional world.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka is different from others.

"Although we may seem different in other aspects, we are essentially the same. Without a doubt, we are of the same kind and race!"

Ina hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka tightly, feeling her heartbeat and body temperature, closed her eyes happily, and smiled joyfully:

"That is to say——"

"We are family!"

"."

Hearing Boda's words and seeing the other's happy expression, Karakiri Masato, hidden in the black mud, narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, but gave a meaningful look.

family?

Chapter 103 The Other Party's Purpose

103.

2023-11-20

If we're talking about family, then it must be my younger sister, right?

Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously ruffled Ina's hair. Not only did Ina not resist, but he also rubbed against her palm very actively, revealing a contented smile, just like a clingy little child.

If she could, she wouldn't mind having another younger sister.

However, there is one prerequisite.

So, she went straight to the point and asked Bo Dao:

"Why did you kill everyone on the island on the 24th? What was your purpose?"

Shinpei Ami and Shio survived until the summer festival on the 24th during the third cycle, personally witnessing the scene of Nami and Masato Kagiri annihilating everyone on Hito Island. This memory was also conveyed to her through previous memory sharing.

However, the reason why they did this remains a mystery to Shinpei and his gang.

Only during the fourth cycle did they manage to capture Bo Dao and glean from her ambiguous words such as "We're going back" and "The whole family is going back together."

She was also very curious about this. Since Bodao had already landed on this island hundreds of years ago and had been living peacefully with the island's inhabitants, why did he suddenly start a massacre now?
