Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

'Please help me...stop it...'

……Who are you?

'That child will guide you...'

...Baa Baa Zi?

It would be great if I could communicate with it...

‘…’

…

Although it was still the same dream, it was a little different.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the tent above her head and thought in her mind.

In fact, after she had the idea of ​​​​communicating with the other party, she tried to keep silent in her sleep to stay awake in her dreams, but it actually didn't work.

Although her conversation with the other party did change last night, it relied more on the subconscious mind she had retained after thinking during the day, rather than communicating with the other party in a waking state as she expected.

Of course, she also noticed some subtle changes in the other party's words, but they didn't seem to have any special meaning.

"...Forget it, let's get up."

…

…

"Those two people haven't come yet, wouldn't you like to sleep a little longer?"

Melyuzina held Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm and complained coquettishly while yawning a little.

For a creature like dragon, sleep is never enough. Although she can sleep like a normal person, she is still somewhat reluctant to get up every time.

For example, Nergigante, who was still lying on the ground blowing his nose, was also the most typical example.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her funny and said:

"I originally said you could sleep a little longer. I didn't want to go far away alone."

"How can that be done!"

Hearing this, Melyuzina hugged her arm tighter and said righteously:

"As a servant, I naturally have to act with the Master to protect your safety."

"What's more, in such a dangerous different world, it's best to be by your side unwaveringly and at all times!"

Then, she pretended to sob softly:

"And if you leave me alone, I will feel very lonely."

She likes both sleeping and Fujimaru Ritsuka. If both conditions can be met at the same time, it would be the best thing. But if she had to make a choice, she would still choose to stay with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say not to let you follow me."

Fujimaru Ritsuka had no resistance at all to the coquettish Melyuzina and could only comfort her helplessly.

Who would have thought that the strongest dragon on earth could be such a cute girl who knows how to act coquettishly?

She couldn't resist the cuteness of this contrast!

The huge cave they are currently in is the entrance to the entire Earth Corridor. Directly opposite is the ocean sparkling in the morning sun, and behind it is a dim tunnel that goes deep into the interior. The Nergigante is lying at the entrance of the tunnel.

She planned to explore the situation inside the tunnel a little first, but not go deep, and wait until she met Baifeng and Reya before starting a formal investigation.

Therefore, looking at the Nergigante that was still sleeping soundly, Fujimaru Ritsuka had no intention of disturbing it. He and Melyuzina gently stepped in front of it, preparing to continue walking inside.

But before she took two steps, she heard a slight dull sound behind her. She turned around and found that the Nergigante had woken up for some reason and was looking directly at them.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at it and said:

"If you want to sleep, you can continue sleeping. We are just going in for a stroll, we won't go far."

"Ouch."

Nergigante responded, lay down again, and began to sleep on his own.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, turned around and prepared to continue walking in, but as he walked, he suddenly realized that something seemed not quite right.

"……etc."

She looked at the Nergigante who continued to lie down and sleep in confusion, then looked at Melyuzina, and asked hesitantly:

"Did it understand what I said just now?"

Compared with the strenuous communication of the past few days, the smooth conversation just now seemed so abnormal.

But Melyuzina shook her head and expressed that she was not sure, saying:

"It could also be just a coincidence."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded. Indeed, after all, the conversation just now was too short, and it was not even clear whether it was a conversation or not.

Maybe Nergigante simply got up, stretched, and went back to sleep.

However, she always felt that the cry that the Nergigante made to her just now seemed to be responding to her.

...Is it an illusion?

No matter what, seeing that Nergigante had fallen asleep again, she could only suppress the doubts in her heart and wait until she had an opportunity to confirm.

"let's go."

After entering the tunnel, it was getting darker and darker inside, so Fujimaru Ritsuka took out the searchlight from the "Omi's Treasure House" and continued moving forward.

Although there are magic tricks that can illuminate, she thinks this thing is more convenient.

After continuing to walk for a while, a faint red light appeared in front of him. At the same time, the surrounding temperature gradually increased. After getting closer, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately discovered what the red light was -

The junction between the Dragon Crystal Land and the Great Ant Mound Wasteland mentioned by Bai Feng and others is itself a volcano group, and now, they seem to have walked into the interior of the volcano.

The hot magma poured down like a waterfall, forming a blazing river below. The heat wave that hit her face made her face heat up and start to turn red.

Seeing the lava river flowing in front of her, she suddenly thought of the three terrifying figures in Chaldea who could swim in the lava, Minamoto Yorimitsu, Kiyohime, and Silent Hassan.

The sight of those three people swimming wildly in the magma while calling her name and rushing towards her was so terrifying that she couldn't help but shudder even if she just recalled the scene at that time.

At this time, looking at Melyuzina next to him, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know what he thought of, and asked hesitantly:

"Melyuzina, you shouldn't be able to swim in lava, right?"

"Eh?"

Hearing this inexplicable question, Melyuzina was stunned for a moment and said strangely:

"Why are you swimming in lava? And as Master You knows, I'm not very good at swimming."

As she spoke, she smiled shyly and said:

"But if it's just the two of us, Master, I'd be more than happy to go to the beach and enjoy our private date. Swimming or something like that is totally fine."

"After a long day of playing, come back to our room and have a good rest."

...This statement has nothing to do with shyness, right?

Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she asked:

"Master, do you want to say that as long as I can swim in magma, you can satisfy any of my requirements?"

"In that case, there is something like magma, I...!"

"No, there is no such condition. You are totally talking to yourself!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said speechlessly.

However, judging from Melyuzina's words, swimming in lava seemed to be a trivial matter to her, which made her a little scared.

Although Melyuzina's character is not much better, at least in terms of being able to communicate normally, it can be said to be much better than the origins of Noraimitsu, Kiyohime and Serenity Hassan.

I hope Melyuzina can maintain the status quo and not look like them.

Fujimaru Ritsuka prayed in his heart.

The area in front of them was too hot, and there was no need to go any deeper before Shirofu and Reya arrived, so Fujimaru Ritsuka and Melyuzina started to return the way they came.

After returning to the stationed place, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately saw two familiar figures, and immediately waved and said hello happily:

"Baifeng, Reya, you are here!"
