Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Excluding the part where Ereshkigal seriously taught her the management experience of the underworld, even though the hotel only consisted of soaking in hot springs, eating late-night snacks, and chatting, the three of them still felt very relaxed and happy.

However, after spending a cheerful night, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu prepared to return to Tokyo, and Ereshkigal also prepared to return to Chaldea.

"...that, Ritsuka,"

Before leaving, Ereshkigal hesitated for a moment, but decided to call Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Perhaps, you may be able to return to Chaldea soon."

"Eh, really?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu opened their eyes in surprise.

So far, Chaldea is still investigating the reason why she can't go back, but Ereshkigal's ability to say something like this shows that she seems to know something.

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ask:

"Ai Lei, do you know something?"

"I don't know much."

However, Ereshkigal did not intend to give any further explanation, but only reminded:

"But if nothing else happens, the turning point should be coming soon, so be mentally prepared."

"Mental preparation?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu became more and more confused, but Ereshkigal did not say anything more, so he lifted the summons and prepared to return to Chaldea.

However, at the last moment when her body disappeared, her gentle voice came again:

"But don't worry too much. At least, I will always keep an eye on you..."

"Besides, don't tell anyone else what I said!"

Ereshkigal's figure disappeared completely, her words entered the ears of the two people, and then disappeared with the wind, leaving only Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looking at each other, somewhat confused.

Matthew said with some worry:

"Senior, what Miss Ereshkigal means...that is, is something going to happen?"

Although Ereshkigal never explained the details, judging from the tone of the other party, it was obviously not a small problem, and it also involved the truth that Fujimaru Ritsuka was currently unable to return to Chaldea.

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment, but found no clues, so he smiled and said:

"Since Ailei personally said that the so-called turning point will be seen soon, then let's wait for now."

"If there was really any danger, Ai Lei wouldn't just behave like that."

"If you put it that way, it's true..."

Mashu agreed with Fujimaru Ritsuka's judgment and also believed in Ereshkigal. Although he was still a little worried, he finally nodded and said:

"In this case, the only way is to be mentally prepared as Miss Ereshkigal said."

"Anyway, no matter what happens, we will know when the time comes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled optimistically:

"So, let's go back too."

"Um!"

…

…

"We're back!"

After returning home, Fujimaru Ritsuka habitually said hello. It happened that little Leonardo da Vinci was resting in the living room. Hearing their return, he responded with a smile:

"Welcome back."

Seeing little Leonardo da Vinci in the living room, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised and said:

"It's so rare. Except for working and eating time, Da Vinci spends most of his time in the laboratory. Today he is resting in the living room."

"What a rude statement,"

Little Da Vinci responded with a smile:

"Of course I also know about the balance between work and rest. It's just that there are too many things in Chaldea. That's why I work non-stop like that."

"And here, after finishing a period of work, of course I will take a proper rest and relax."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked:

"Finished working?"

"Um,"

Little Da Vinci smiled and said:

"I have returned some of the investigation and research results during this period, including the action report you submitted, to Chaldea."

"However, the fat director sent a message - 'The action report is much worse, what is Ritsuka doing!', is that what you said?"

"Forehead……"

Unexpectedly, he was urged to work as soon as he came back. Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly became decadent and sighed deeply:

"Yes, I know, I will finish it as soon as possible."

Matthew cheered her up and said:

"Come on, senior, let me help with the situation in the past two days!"

Well, this is somewhat good news.

After hearing the conversation between the two, little Leonardo da Vinci asked with interest:

"Did you encounter anything interesting during the two days on vacation?"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was not very interested, Mashu took the initiative to take on the role of commentator:

"Is such that……"

She briefly recounted the situation, deliberately omitting Ereshkigal's words that sounded problematic because she said it was best not to tell anyone else.

But even so, the whole experience of the two people was enough for little Leonardo to listen with interest.

"Eh--"

After listening, little Leonardo da Vinci looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, clicked his tongue and said in wonder:

"Didn't you expect that it was just a short trip, and the master turned into the goddess of the underworld? It's really an unexpected development."

What concerned her even more was that the world's attitude toward Fujimaru Ritsuka was a bit too friendly, and it seemed to be intentionally concentrating its power on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Is this really just because of the so-called mother-daughter relationship?

Or does the other party have other purposes?

Little Da Vinci fell into deep thought.

…

…

Anyway, in the next few days, Fujimaru Ritsuka's life became dull again, and he stayed at home every day to concentrate on writing reports.

Perhaps it was because the short-term trip did work. After returning, the speed of writing reports was indeed much faster than before, and gradually got on the right track.

From time to time, Huiyuan Ai would come to her to play, have afternoon tea, and chat about the recent situation.

Since there was nothing special recently, Huiyuan Ai also returned to her previous pace during this period. While conducting drug experiments, she and Conan dealt with the activities of the Junior Detective League, and solved several cases in the process.

On the other hand, Conan seemed to have recovered from the previous shock, but he seemed to have fallen into another extreme direction.

Specifically, at the scene of the investigation of the case recently, Conan always confirmed whether there was any intervention from mysterious forces.

However, although Conan often encountered cases, it seemed that he was not so easy to encounter mysterious events. At least so far, such a situation has not occurred.

Mashu smiled upon hearing this:

"Sure enough, there are still a few people with a physique like the senior, right?"

"Ah? This, I..."

Not only did he compare her with Conan, but he also concluded that she was better. This situation made Fujimaru Ritsuka feel a little hurt, but he couldn't refute it.

"Senior?"

However, seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's performance, Mashu seemed a little confused, not knowing what she said wrong.

This reaction made Fujimaru Ritsuka even more depressed.

Seeing this, Huihara Ai covered her mouth and chuckled:

"This is the so-called 'lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife', right?"

"Puff——!"

"Eh, senior?!"

Amid Mashu's exclamation, Fujimaru Ritsuka instantly fell to the ground and was completely sunk.

After sending Huihara Ai away, Fujimaru Ritsuka began to continue writing reports. Although there were still many reports to write, she could now see the dawn of victory.

As long as we keep the current pace——

"Master dear!"

Suddenly, little Da Vinci appeared in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu and said:

"Chaldea reported that a servant took the initiative to apply to come here!"

Come on!
