Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Chapter 456 Rest, dialogue, banquet... death?

"If you put it that way, it is true..."

Gudafu and Mashu also felt a strong hunger after hearing what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, so they nodded happily.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Then let's go eat together."

"Fu~!"

Seeing this, Anna on the side did not speak, but followed silently.

The four of them came to a restaurant. Gudafu and others had completed the commission of the owner of this restaurant and were very familiar with it. So the four of them were warmly received by the owner as soon as they entered the door.

"It's Fujimaru, please come in! I'll give you a 10% discount, haha!"

Hearing this, Gudafu also responded happily:

"Thank you, boss!"

And this warm hospitality finally made them feel that they had temporarily returned to peace.

The food was soon served, and the hungry people had no time to chat at all, and they devoured it like a whirlwind.

Finally, after filling his stomach, Fujimaru Ritsuka placed his hands on the table, squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed with satisfaction:

"I'm alive--!"

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's appearance, Gudafu and Mashu couldn't help but smile at each other.

Then, Mashu seemed to think of something and asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, it was Miss Gudako who helped everyone to retreat safely, right?"

"Of course, what was the situation?"

"This..."

Hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and briefly described the situation at that time.

Then, as expected, Gudafu and Mashu became curious about the secret weapon she used against the Gorgons.

"Secret weapon..."

However, seeing that she had no intention of explaining it actively, Gudafu and Mashu did not continue to investigate, but just hid this curiosity in their hearts.

After all, there are already enough unsolved mysteries about Miss Gudako, and this one is not bad.

After finishing the meal, the four of them left the restaurant and prepared to return to the Chaldea Embassy. However, at this moment, Anna, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Um... Miss Gudako, can I talk to you?"

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised, but soon reacted, nodded and smiled:

"Of course."

So Anna nodded slightly to Gudafu and Mashu, and took Fujimaru Ritsuka to another direction.

"Um, senior,"

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Mashu asked Gudafu:

"Since you came back, has Miss Anna's behavior been a little strange? It seems that she cares about Miss Gudako?"

This is already a very euphemistic statement.

In fact, during the time they were acting together, Anna's gaze towards Fujimaru Ritsuka can only be described as "frequent", and the emotions in her eyes are also very complicated.

This made Mashu a little curious, wondering what happened between the two during this period?

"Maybe it was because Miss Gudako saved the other party?"

Gudafu tried to make a guess, but he didn't know much about it.

But compared to curiosity, he felt more of a pity.

Because, he actually wanted to talk to Fujimaru Ritsuka, but he didn't expect that Anna would get there first.

"In that case, let's go back first."

"Yeah."

——

Anna and Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't walk far, but stopped at a slightly remote alley.

Then, Anna looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke:

"... Miss Gudako, did you recognize my real name too?"

"Of course."

"... Then, aren't you afraid of me?"

Unlike non-human beings like Merlin and Ishtar, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a human who lives in the same era as Gudafu and others. One of the reasons why she didn't want to reveal her real name in front of Gudafu and others is that she is worried that the other party will be afraid of her as a monster.

"Hey, is this the question you want to ask?"

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised when he heard it, and then smiled:

"Of course not, after all, we are companions!"

"Companions... Is that so..."

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's smiling face, Anna finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought about it.

"Is this all right?"

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and asked again:

"I thought you wanted to ask about what happened just now."

"!"

When it came to this, Anna reacted instantly, and then whispered a little shyly:

"...I also want to ask that question, that is, that-"

"Why does Miss Gudako have the voice of a sister?"

That's right!

Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed and explained familiarly:

"In fact, just like the situation between me and Gilgamesh, I also have some fate with Stheno and Euryale, so we can be considered friends."

"You, know the sisters...?"

However, when she heard her say this, Anna's tone became a little suspicious.

Because she knew it all too well, how much her two sisters hated the humans who treated them as monsters, persecuted them, and wanted to break them up.

Not to mention making friends with humans...

Sensing Anna's suspicion, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly reacted, holding his chin with some embarrassment and said:

"Speaking of which, this is indeed a little hard to prove. Let me think about it..."

"Well, how about this."

As if he had thought of something, Fujimaru Ritsuka snapped his fingers and smiled at Anna:

"Do you want to meet them?"

"...?!!!"

--

Night.

As expected, the lights in the Chaldean Embassy were bright, and everyone gathered together, raising their glasses.

"Cheers--!" ×n

After resting for an afternoon, Gudafu's spirit recovered a lot. Ushiwakamaru and Leonidas I and others returned from the front line, Merlin arrived as promised, and Miss Siduri and even Ishtar came.

No, to be precise, it was Ereshkigal who borrowed Ishtar's body to carry out activities on the surface.

According to the other party, Ishtar started sleeping in the daytime and her body was not needed, so she borrowed it temporarily.

However--

"Pain, pain, pain, pain..."

Because the action of raising the glass was too big, the sudden pain made Ereshkigal's expression twisted together.

"Damn... What's wrong with this body? Why do I feel sore all over and my chest is a little stuffy...!"

"I remember that the injury was not very serious?!"

Siduri smiled and explained:

"After all, you and Lady Ishtar are now possessed by the body of a human girl, which is naturally far different from the strength of the original body of the god, so please be careful."

"Damn...!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, and then scanned the room and sighed:

"It's a pity that King Gilgamesh is missing, but he is very busy now, right?"

"Indeed,"

Siduri replied:

"Because the decisive battle time in ten days has been confirmed, the king is now urgently allocating resources and adjusting various combat plans, so he is busier than usual."

Gudafu on the side couldn't help but sigh:

"The king is really busy."

It's hard to believe that King Gilgamesh, who is so wise now, was a famous cruel tyrant when he was young.

"But is this really okay?"

Hearing their conversation, Ereshkigal said:

"After all, that guy just died of exhaustion yesterday, right?"

"...Huh!?" ×n
