Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"You don't have to speak if you can't!"

Shadow Tide glanced at him sideways, then grinned and said:

"In short, things have come to a successful conclusion, and everyone has worked hard! Especially Shinpei, you did a great job!"

"Of course, I'm also very grateful for Ritsuka, Mr. James, and Ai's help. Thank you so much!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"You're welcome. This is part of our job. But Ai has really had a tough time getting dragged into this."

Ai Haibara shook her head and said:

"No, that's not true. Having such a unique experience is quite nice for me."

"In short, everyone present is indispensable, and I thank you all for your help."

Shen Ping, the online agent, laughed:

"Finally, let's meet again in the future."

Kofune Mio said firmly.

"Of course! We'll definitely be together in the future!"

"Okay, see you all in the future!"

Everyone laughed and agreed, then disappeared into the space together, leaving only Ina, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Moriarty, and Haibara Ai.

"It's over."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed, then turned to Ina and smiled:

"Then we should go home too."

Come back home

Upon hearing this, Bo Dao smiled sincerely and nodded vigorously, saying:

"Ok!"

Space collapsed, and the four people traveled through a time tunnel, moving towards a future completely different from the past under the control of Bo Dao.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked curiously at the wall beside her, concentrating her attention. She could barely make out the images that flashed by, but she couldn't make out the content.

"arrive."

As Bo Dao spoke, a sudden burst of light appeared before them, completely engulfing them.

On July 22, on the ship bound for Ridu Island.

"!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly opened her eyes.

The bright sunshine, the boundless sea, the bustling port of Gatai—the familiar scene before them was almost surreal. Next, they were supposed to take a boat to their destination for this trip, Ridu Island.

At this moment, everything in her memory seemed like a long dream.

But just then, she suddenly felt a warm touch on her arm.

She turned her head and saw that Nami, dressed in a red kimono, was clinging to her arm in a coquettish manner, giving her her usual smile.

"Welcome back!"

It's not a dream, that's wonderful!

Thinking this, she smiled and said:

"I am back!"

Moriarty and Ai Haibara, who were beside her, also came to their senses. Looking at the familiar scene before them, they realized that they must have returned to the morning of July 22nd.

Just then, Ai Haibara suddenly asked:

"So what do we do now?"

"Should we go to Ridu Island for another three days? Or should we go back the way we came?"

"."

Looking at the boat tickets in their hands, the group exchanged glances and fell silent.

This is truly a perplexing issue.

Brothers, I'd like to request that the update schedule be restored to one chapter at noon and one chapter at 5 pm, which was the previous schedule!

Because I had something to do in the morning, since we started updating together at noon, I've found that I'm writing until the early hours of the morning every day to finish two chapters at once. I've got dark circles under my eyes, and I'm starting to feel the strain.

If I update once at noon and once at 5 pm, I can still find some time in the afternoon to write more and catch up, so it won't be as rushed as it is now.

So I want to go back to the pre-release schedule of updating once at noon and once at 5 pm. That's all!

I hope everyone can understand. I apologize, and I also thank you all for your continued support!

Chapter 117 Returning to Daily Life and Contracts

117.

2023-11-20

"Xiao Ai?"

In the afternoon, Professor Agasa, who was leisurely reading the newspaper at home, saw Ai Haibara walk in with a suitcase and said in surprise:

"Didn't you say you were going on a three-day trip with the Fujimaru family? Why are you back now?"

Because we've been traveling for three days now, and it's been an incredible trip.

Of course, she couldn't tell anyone the truth, so she could only drag her luggage back to her room while answering:

"The plan was canceled because something suddenly came up with Ritsuka-neechan and the others."

"Oh, that's a real shame. You specifically asked the school for leave."

Dr. Agasa sighed regretfully.

However, she wasn't entirely lying, because Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others did have something to do, something related to Hata, who had returned with them.

She didn't know exactly what to do.

Indeed, one must be extremely careful when dealing with an alien being as unfathomable as Bodao.

After all, being able to freely interfere with time and parallel worlds makes them, in a sense, no different from gods.

She still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and experienced it firsthand, she would never have believed that such an incredible existence could exist in this world.

"Oh right, Ai."

Suddenly, Professor Agasa called out to her, interrupting her thoughts.

She asked in confusion:

"What's wrong, Doctor?"

Dr. Agasa said with a smile:

"It's nothing. I just suddenly realized that I don't think I've ever met the Ritsuka-neechan you mentioned."

"And since they've been so kind to you, why don't you invite them over sometime? What do you think?"

Ai Haibara thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"I understand. I'll discuss it with Ritsuka-neechan next time I see her."

"Then trouble you."

Originally, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already been passively drawn into their affairs, so there was no need for her to stay away from them. In fact, Kudo even wanted her to stay by Fujimaru Ritsuka's side to protect her.

But after this trip, given the abilities that Fujimaru Ritsuka demonstrated, at least in terms of the arsenal she carried that was enough to start a small war, she felt that there was no need for any protection.

But then she suddenly remembered that during this exercise, the other party seemed to have been taken hostage again.

This is the fifth time.

So she silently changed her mind.

While it's not exactly protection, it's still very necessary to keep an eye on Fujimaru Ritsuka and her surroundings at all times, because she seems quite easy to take hostage.

"Doctor, I'm going back to my room to rest. Don't call me before dinner."

"Okay, good afternoon, Ai."

"Yes, good afternoon."

Back in her room, she put her luggage down and collapsed onto the bed, burying her head in the soft pillows, motionless, letting her thoughts wander freely.

Soon, everything that had happened on Ridu Island flashed through her mind again, finally settling on Bodao's description of her abilities.

Is it possible to transform observed parallel worlds into reality?

So there probably is. A parallel world where the older sister survived.

Thinking of this, she buried her head even deeper.

-

At Fujimaru Ritsuka's home, she and Ina are holding an important ceremony.

To conclude a contract.

Boda was a little confused, but she still obediently stretched out her right hand, revealing her fair and tender right hand back, which was pressed tightly against the right hand back of Fujimaru Ritsuka that was engraved with Command Seals.

By the way, summoning Moriarty to my side previously consumed one Command Spell, which has now been replenished.

Getting back to the main point, the Command Seals on the backs of their hands, pressed together, emitted a faint red glow.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, faint connection linked the two together; it was invisible, yet seemed to possess a tangible substance.

"That's good."

Withdrawing her hand, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at Nami.
