Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"...Miss Gudako?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka, everyone's expression was a little surprised.

Originally, they thought that Fujimaru Ritsuka was captured by Ereshkigal and taken to some place for imprisonment, but they didn't expect that he would stay in the temple so carefree, and he didn't look like he was imprisoned in the underworld at all.

After reacting, Gudafu asked with concern:

"Miss Gudako, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, and then smiled:

"If I have to say something, I'm probably a little hungry."

After all, it's already noon time. If Gudafu and the others hadn't just arrived, she would probably find a way to solve the problem of lunch first.

"Lady Ishtar!"

At this moment, she suddenly found Ishtar floating in the air and had become the size of a doll. Her eyes lit up immediately and she approached with a smile and said:

"Lady Ishtar is so cute after she became smaller!"

"Cute? That's natural, I am the goddess of beauty——"

"Click, click!"

"Ah!?"

"Where did you get this camera from... Damn it, you are not allowed to take pictures of my dark history, are you a devil?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile:

"How can it be a dark history? Isn't Lady Ishtar cute like this?"

"Anyway, delete the photos for me——!"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ishtar playing together, full of energy, and looking like nothing happened, Gudafu and Mashu both breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Gudafu had time to carefully look at the surrounding environment, and said in a strange way:

"Speaking of which, is this really the temple of the goddess of the underworld? It looks like a wilderness, right?"

"This is the so-called underworld. There is no gorgeous thing here."

Gilgamesh on the side explained lightly, but he looked at a small bunch of Lycoris radiata growing alone in the temple not far away, and felt a little confused.

When will the underworld be able to cultivate plants? How come he doesn't know?

However, this is not the focus of their attention today. Gilgamesh quickly turned his eyes away and looked at the empty platform in front of him and said:

"Isn't what the king said right?"

"Ereshkigal, the queen of the Garula spirits looking at the black sky."

"——You speak as if you know a lot, just a demigod king."

Accompanied by a cold answer, the repeated voices seemed to echo in the valley, and everyone suddenly felt a chill, the temperature in the environment dropped rapidly, and even the shield in Mashu's hand was gradually covered with a layer of frost.

At the same time, a huge undead made of skeletons gradually appeared in front of them——

"Fear. Pray. Fall into despair, humans."

"I am the manager of death——

The mistress of the underworld, the one who tramples the sacred peak, [one of the three goddesses alliance]——Ereshkigal!"

"That is the goddess Ereshkigal——"

Mashu held the shield tightly and observed the other party with a vigilant face. At this time, Gudafu clutched his collar tightly and felt a little difficult to breathe.

At the same time, the data detected by Chaldea was constantly issuing warnings. Dr. Roman exclaimed:

"According to the detection here, the atmospheric pressure over there has reached 500hPa, which is equivalent to standing on the top of a mountain with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters! The current body temperature is -6°, and the environment is close to the limit of life activities!"

"If you continue like this, you will not only get decompression sickness, but I'm afraid even the alveoli will rupture! You must defeat Eresh Gakil before that, Fujimaru!"

Seeing this, Eresh Gakil sneered:

"... You are so vulnerable. I just showed up, and I'm so helpless."

"In that case, then despair of your own incompetence! "

Hearing her say this, Gudafu gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka on the side couldn't help but sneeze--

"A-choo!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked over, and Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand a little embarrassedly, and apologized to Ereshkigal:

"Um, Ere, if this goes on, I might catch a cold..."

"Huh?"

Ereshkigal was stunned for a moment, and then said in a panic:

"Sorry, sorry, wait for me to take back the magic power immediately!"

After that, the temperature in the temple stopped falling instantly, and quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

Feeling that the environment had returned to normal, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at her:

"Thank you, Ere."

"It's okay."

Ereshkigal responded subconsciously.

After all, the other party is one of her few, or even her first best friend, so of course she has to be carefully maintained.

...Wait.

But at this moment, Ereshkigal suddenly reacted and found that the Chaldeans were looking at her and Fujimaru Ritsuka with strange expressions, their eyes full of inquiry, and she froze.

Oops!

The majestic character that was created with great difficulty collapsed just like that!

Ereshkigal cried out in her heart.

On the other side, Gudafu was also a little confused, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ereshkigal with a strange expression.

Why does Miss Gudako seem to have a good relationship with the goddess Ereshkigal?

Gilgamesh asked Fujimaru Ritsuka bluntly:

"What's going on? Do you know that guy?"

"How should I put it..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Until you came, we got along pretty well."

At this time, hearing the conversation between the two, Ereshkigal was also a little surprised and said:

"Gudako, do you know the people in Chaldea?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said even more embarrassedly;

"To be precise, I was originally with them, but I accidentally came to the underworld for some reasons."

"This..."

After a brief conversation, both parties couldn't help but be silent, looked at each other, and then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka at the same time, with very subtle emotions.

"That——"

Seeing this, Ritsuka Fujimaru, the culprit, chose to step aside obediently, sat down next to Manjusaka, took out the Druid's Staff and set up a small defensive barrier around himself, and then waved obediently:

"You guys continue, please don't mind me, thank you."

"..."

The two sides looked at each other in silence, and tacitly chose to ignore Ritsuka Fujimaru's existence and return to the original topic.

Gudafu said loudly:

"Ereshkigal, I hope you can release the souls of the captured Sumerian people, and then... let's go save Uruk together!"

"Because Ereshkigal is not an evil goddess!"

"?"

When these words came out, Gilgamesh and Mashu looked at him in surprise, and Ritsuka Fujimaru on the side was even more puzzled.

No, buddy, who taught you to talk so much?

Did you use the wrong trick?

This is the routine of the traditional Asian male protagonist, but Type-Moon doesn't follow this path!

"Bang!"

Sure enough, Ereshkigal transformed into a huge spear of light, stabbed it heavily into the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"My choice will not change."

"I will conquer Uruk before the other goddesses, seize the Holy Grail, kill all humans in Mesopotamia, and gather all souls in the underworld!"
