Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Standing downstairs at Chaldea Office was a strange man and woman.

The boy was wearing an old white T-shirt and blue denim shorts. He looked about the age of a high school student and was wearing a bright yellow bag.

Girls are more mature and half a head taller than boys. Their smooth hair and relaxed dress exude mature charm, and they are truly beauties.

"Chaldea Mysterious Office..."

The young Morishima Hodaka looked up at the billboard with the characters "Chaldean Mystery Agency" printed on it, then looked down at the records in the notebook in his hand, and after repeated comparisons, he confirmed:

"It should be right here."

Through the window, he saw the darkness inside the Chaldean Mysterious Office. It seemed that the lights were not turned on. He frowned slightly and said:

"But it doesn't look like the office is open for business. Are you going out?"

"In that case, Miss Natsumi, should we go somewhere else first?"

"...Miss Natsumi?"

Hearing that no one responded to his question, Morishima Hodaka couldn't help but look at Natsumi Suga next to him, but found that the other person's attention seemed not to be on work at all, and he frowned slightly and didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Um……"

"I said, Miss Natsumi...?"

"ah!"

"Whoa-?!"

Morishima Hodaka tentatively called to the other party. At this moment, Suga Natsumi suddenly screamed, shocking Morishima Hodaka who was caught off guard.

Natsumi Suga clapped her hands in sudden realization and said:

"I remembered!"

"Um, what did you remember?"

Morishima Hodaka was confused by Suga Natsumi's somewhat nervous performance, while the other party pointed enthusiastically at the [Moori Detective Agency] opposite the Chaldean Mystery Agency, and said excitedly:

"That detective agency is the one opened by the famous detective [Sleeping Kogoro]!"

"Hey, that [Sleeping Kogoro]?"

Morishima Hodaka was also a little surprised.

Although he had just arrived in Tokyo not long ago, he could occasionally see TV reports that the other party appeared at a murder scene and solved the real murderer. He was a very famous detective today.

So he asked curiously:

"Miss Natsumi, are you a fan of the other party?"

"Of course not!"

Hearing this, Natsumi Suga denied it without hesitation, and then said with a smile:

"As for famous detectives, of course I prefer [the savior of the Japanese police], Kudo Shinichi, the kind of handsome detective!"

"It's a pity that he seems to be less active recently."

...I think you don't like detectives at all, you just like handsome guys, right?

Morishima Hodaka said with a black line on his head:

"Then what are you excited about? And it has nothing to do with the work at hand, right?"

"Well,"

Suga Natsumi smiled nonchalantly and said:

"After all, he is somewhat of a celebrity."

Then, she suddenly suggested:

"Anyway, the people from the Chaldean Mysterious Agency are not here, how about taking the opportunity to interview [Sleeping Kogoro]?"

"Maybe we can also publish an article on detective topics!"

Faced with Natsumi Suga's sudden proposal, Morishima Hodaka wanted to refuse sternly, but as one of his seniors and superiors, he could only reply helplessly:

"However, our editorial office mainly submits articles to publications on supernatural topics and detective topics. No one wants them at first glance, right?"

Having said this, he couldn't help but glance at the billboard of [Chaldea Mystery Agency] again.

A mysterious agency opened opposite the detective agency, which does look quite strange.

"Okay, that's true."

Suga Natsumi could only shrug sadly, turned around and prepared to leave for the next destination.

But at this moment, a voice came from not far away and called them——

"Excuse me, are you here to see [Chaldea Mystery Agency]?"

Upon hearing the question, the two turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka and three others just walking down the stairs of [Mouri Office].

The moment he saw the other party's figure clearly, Morishima Hodaka was stunned on the spot——

The first thing that caught my eye were two beautiful girls.

One has short orange hair and a side ponytail, looking sunny and cheerful; the other has short cherry hair, with one side of her hair just covering her eyes, and looks very quiet while wearing glasses.

Although their styles are different, the two delicate and lovely faces are like dreamy girls coming out of comics.

"Yes, I am an employee of K\u0026A Editorial Office. Just call me Natsumi. Our office is mainly responsible for writing some supernatural articles..."

Suga Natsumi's self-introduction on the side finally made him come back to his senses. He quickly withdrew his gaze, clamped the umbrella between his neck and shoulders, and took out a pen, ready to start recording materials at any time.

Then, he looked at the two beautiful girls, and there was a cute little girl beside them, which made him thoughtful and also a little confused.

The three people in front of them looked a bit like the targets they came to find this time, but according to the information provided on the Internet, the number of people seemed to be somewhat wrong.

Could it be that he is just a passerby?

"K\u0026A Planning Company? Editorial Office?..."

On the other side, while looking at the business card handed over by the other party and listening to the self-introduction of the person in front of him, Fujimaru Ritsuka roughly understood the other party's identity, but at the same time, he had some doubts in his heart.

"Hello, I am Ritsuka Fujimaru, the president of [Chaldea Mystery Agency]. If you don't mind, just call me Ritsuka."

After the other party finished introducing, Fujimaru Ritsuka also introduced himself first, and then said with some confusion:

"Excuse me, Miss Natsumi, why did you come to us?"

The other party said in the introduction that they hoped to interview them, and if possible, would edit the interview content and publish it in a magazine.

It's just that she doesn't understand why [Chaldea Mysterious Agency] became so famous, and people would actively come to interview and collect information.

"Are you the president of the office?!"

Hearing what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, Suga Natsumi couldn't help but open her eyes in surprise and exclaimed:

"So young, and really cute! Exactly like the legend!"

But then, she looked at Ma Xiu and Haiyuan Ai again, holding her chin in confusion and said:

"It's just that the number of people doesn't seem to match up..."

"legend?"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment, and a question mark appeared above his head.

What legend? Where did the legend come from?

She subconsciously looked at Mashu and Haihara Ai beside her, trying to figure out the answer to the question, but the two of them shook their heads in confusion, indicating that they were not very clear either.

"Don't you know?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and the three of them looking at each other, Suga Natsumi was also a little surprised.

Then she reacted quickly, took out her phone and operated it a few times quickly, then showed the screen to them with a smile.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the contents carefully and muttered:

"[Extremely beautiful urban legend!]

[Ghost or hallucination? Surreal beautiful girls and sisters walking in the rain. 】

[The real spiritual master hidden in the city is also a beautiful girl seen only once in four thousand years! ]..."

"Forehead……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt confused and once again set his sights on Mashu and Haibara Ai.

This time, after a moment of silence, Hui Yuan Ai replied:

"I seem to understand."
