Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"I'm leaving."

Reya murmured in a daze.

The words of farewell came suddenly and caught people off guard.

But after reacting, Reya finally accepted the reality happily.

After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were not from this world in the first place, so it was natural for them to leave.

However, after realizing that they were about to part ways, the inexplicable sadness still made the atmosphere a lot duller.

Then, she couldn't help but ask:

"Then will you come back in the future?"

"Of course."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, Reya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face again.

For them who are used to coexisting with monsters and facing life and death, although they cannot live together for a long time, as long as they are not separated forever and as long as they can meet again, that is the happiest thing.

Then the relaxed atmosphere was restored, and then she asked curiously:

"Then when do you plan to leave?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied:

"The time to leave should be after Bai Feng comes back."

Although they could leave at any time, they had made an agreement with Reya and the others before and would not leave without saying goodbye. This was one of the reasons why she returned to the stronghold.

"Very good!"

Reya said happily:

"In this case, at least we can have a good meal together before we say goodbye!"

In addition, regarding the question of traveling through the world, Reya is like a curious child, constantly asking questions.

"If you go back across the world, do you need to prepare anything? For example, magic materials and the like. Is there anything we can do to help?..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile:

"Thank you for your concern, but it's not that troublesome."

When she learned that there was no need to prepare anything, Reya felt novel and a little disappointed at the same time, which made Ritsuka Fujimaru dumbfounded.

After the meal, they talked and laughed all the way back to the accommodation area, then said goodbye to each other and returned to their respective tents.

After a busy day, Fujimaru Ritsuka slept very soundly at night, even though she didn't do any particularly hard work.

…

…

"...?"

Looking at the familiar space in front of her, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused. She didn't know why the natural will came to her at this time.

Could it be that there was another accident?

Natural Will didn't know what Fujimaru Ritsuka was thinking, so he said straight to the point:

"Ritsuka, I should be able to help you repair Melyuzina's dragon body."

"Eh?"

"Eh?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

Although she didn’t know why the other party suddenly mentioned this matter, she was immediately attracted by its content and quickly asked:

"How to do?"

Natural will answered:

"Use the energy accumulated by those dead ancient dragons."

"ah,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned upon hearing this.

"The place where dragons crystallize!"

The dragon crystals in the Dragon Crystal Land are all crystals formed by the energy escaping from the body of the dead ancient dragon and gradually condensing, which naturally includes the ancient dragon energy in the ancient dragon's body.

When she first came to this world and spent the second day in the exterminator's lair in the Dragon Crystal Land, Melyuzina had already realized the benefits of the energy in the Dragon Crystal Land to her body.

However, after learning the origin of the Dragon Crystal Land, Melyuzina refused to forcibly capture energy to supplement herself.

By the way, the energy in dragon crystals is different from that in a simple ancient dragon. Therefore, even an extermination dragon that feeds on the energy of ancient dragons generally cannot directly absorb the energy in dragon crystals.

The Dark Lantern Dragon clan that can directly control energy is obviously an accident, and Meliuzina from another world is even more of an accident.

Of course, if she had done that at that time, she would not have been able to get along with the will of nature as well as she does now. Instead, she would have been regarded by the other party as an intruder that needed to be eliminated like the Dark Lantern Dragon, right?

Let’s get back to the topic

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not expect that the will of nature would take the initiative to use the energy in the Dragon Crystal Land to complete Meliuzina's dragon body.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little worried and asked:

"If Meluzina absorbs the energy in the Dragon Crystal Land, it won't affect you, right?"

The Dragon Crystal Land and its surrounding areas, and even the ecology of the entire New World, are inseparable from the energy of the Dragon Crystal Land as nutrients.

She worries that if the energy is excessively exploited, it may have a serious impact on the ecology of the entire New World.

This is also the biggest reason why the Dark Lantern Dragon is regarded by the will of nature as a threat that must be eliminated.

Faced with her question, Natural Will replied:

"The energy of seven or eight dark red dragons is no problem."

...The boss is awesome!

The energy of the Dragon Crystal Land has been accumulated bit by bit by countless ancient dragons who have come to the New World to sleep since ancient times. Although its purity is far inferior to the ancient dragon energy that exists in the ancient dragon's body, the amount is too large to be counted.

Now it seems that at least it is more than enough to complete Meliuzina's dragon body.

While being shocked by the heroic display of natural will, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly noticed a blind spot——

"Speaking of which, you won't always be paying attention to us and eavesdropping on our conversations, right?"

"..."

Natural Will fell into silence for a moment. After a moment, He ignored the topic as if nothing had happened and said:

"This is to thank you for helping me, and it is the only reward I can give."

"Also, Ritsuka, I would like to ask you a favor."

Is this the trick?

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked:

"Please tell me, if it is within my ability."

Hearing this, Natural Will said directly:

"I hope to sign a contract with you."

"Sign a contract? With me? What contract?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was suddenly surprised.

In fact, she thought that the other party wanted to keep Melyuzina. After all, he had shown great concern for Melyuzina from the very beginning.

"and you."

Natural Will answered in the affirmative, and then said:

"Just like the contract signed between that being and the world, I hope to get your help again when I encounter a crisis in the future."

"Is this so..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously rubbed her chin and fell into thinking. After a moment, she asked:

"After signing the contract, will I become something like a black dragon?"

Natural Will was also silent for a moment, and answered honestly:

"...I'm sorry, I don't have that much power."

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but laugh and cry when she heard this:

"I did not mean that."

She didn't want to become a being like the black dragon. On the contrary, she didn't want to become like that.

Although in the end she did not ask Hei Long what the secret he tried so hard to hide was, she still felt that something was not good.

More importantly, she is very satisfied with her human identity so far and has no intention of turning into some other weird existence.

And immortality and stuff like that...

She has gone through countless troubles now. Immortality may mean endless troubles to her, which is scary to think about.

Her current wish is to live in peace until she dies.

...Although it seems impossible to be safe, at least we must achieve the goal of dying from old age!

As for how to deal with the gods of the underworld after death...

She didn't want to think about this troublesome problem for the time being.

In short, after confirming that the contract did not contain any weird content, she quickly nodded and smiled:

"Then let's sign the contract."
