Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

On the Chaldean side, Holmes spoke first and smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"As for the truth of this incident, we only noticed a clue after you returned to Chaldea last time and left. We found out the truth not long ago and started to think of ways to solve the problem."

"that time?"

"That's right."

At that time, Fujimaru Ritsuka had just returned that day and left immediately that night. It seemed as if the [Transfer] had been triggered again unintentionally, but in fact it was not the case.

They were paying close attention to Fujimaru Ritsuka, and they immediately discovered that Fujimaru Ritsuka's departure was different from previous [transfers], and detected a faint unfamiliar fluctuation.

They soon determined that Fujimaru Ritsuka did not leave on his own that time, but more like being pushed out.

And the 'person' who pushed her was the source of this weak fluctuation.

So they clung to this clue, followed the clues all the way, and finally found the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes - inhibition.

Having said this, the adult Leonardo sighed helplessly and said:

"But what we didn't expect was that the human villains headed by Goetia seemed to have been aware of this for a long time, and even secretly made such a ridiculous plan. It was really a mistake."

"well……"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka also sighed.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the adult Leonardo da Vinci laughed again, looked at her with interest and said:

"But then again, Ritsuka, you have really become a Beast now...it doesn't look like much has changed, but it still feels very strange~!"

"If you want to say it's novel, it's indeed novel."

Fujimaru Ritsuka complained in a black tone, and even the new director was speechless:

"This is not an interesting thing at all, is it? Someone changed the race or something for no reason."

"The fat director...!"

Seeing that it was rare for someone to understand him, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at him movedly, but at this moment, U-Olga Marie on the side suddenly said:

"It's actually wrong to say that."

"Although Ritsuka has become a Beast, she is also a human."

"Eh?"

U—Olga Marie’s speech immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Holmes said:

"Excuse me, why do you say that?"

"this……"

U-Olga Marie's expression was a little hesitant, then she shook her head and said:

"If you ask me to elaborate, I can't tell you. I just have this feeling."

"Is that so?"

Holmes raised his eyebrows slightly. After thinking for a moment, he did not continue to ask, but returned to the topic again:

"In short, the reason why Ritsuka was unable to return to Chaldea in the past was because the two inhibitory powers had somehow erected a wall of inhibitory power against her and refused her entry. This was the situation until not long ago."

"……Wait a moment."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, but at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly noticed something, and some raised their hands and asked in confusion:

"Holmes, what you just said was...'not long ago'?"

The other party's words made her detect an inexplicable abnormality.

"That's right, not long ago."

Sure enough, Holmes smiled and nodded. At this time, Xion also interjected and said with a smile:

"The next thing we are going to discuss is-"

"To be precise, about an hour before the beasts returned to Chaldea, we detected that the wall of suppression built by the two major suppression forces suddenly disappeared on its own."

"Eh? Disappeared?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment. He was about to say something, but then he suddenly realized and understood why she felt unimpeded when returning to Chaldea.

Not because she forcibly broke through the wall of inhibition, but because the wall of inhibition no longer exists?

"...but why?"

Ma Xiu on the side said with a puzzled face:

"Why did the restraint force refuse to return to Chaldea? Why did the restriction suddenly be lifted?"

This is also the question Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to ask. However, the adult Leonardo da Vinci could only shake his head and said:

"We also want to know, but unfortunately there is no way to get the answer yet."

"However, based on your experience, Ritsuka, we guess that this may be related to the fact that you became a Beast."

Hearing this, the new director held his chin and said:

"Could it be that because they learned that Ritsuka became a Beast, they realized that they could no longer restrict her, so they gave up on their own initiative?"

"As expected of the new director, it sounds reasonable."

Holmes smiled and praised the new director, which immediately made him feel a little elated, and he couldn't help but say proudly:

"Of course! I am the director..."

"Anyway, judging from the results alone, the incident seems to have been resolved. But..."

Adult Da Vinci showed his hands and said:

"The reasons are somewhat concerning, right?"

More than just a little bit of concern, it was simply too much concern. What do those two inhibitions want to do?

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked:

"Where's the princess?"

The adult Da Vinci replied:

"Princess Arquette should be in her room now."

"I'm going to find her!"

As the representative of Gaia, the earth's consciousness, Elquet Brunstad would not believe if she said she didn't know why Gaia did this.

"Senior/Ritsuka...!"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka turn around and leave, Mashu and Roman looked a little worried.

Then, Roman said to everyone:

"I'll follow him and see."

Hearing what Roman said, Mashu, who was originally planning to take action, stopped and asked him:

"Doctor, then I'll trouble you."

If it were someone else, she might still be a little worried, but Roman's words would definitely be okay.

"Yeah!"

Roman nodded heavily and hurriedly followed.

——

Although it was not obvious on the surface, Fujimaru Ritsuka was indeed a little angry in her heart. Of course, she was not angry with Elquet, but the two inhibitory forces who didn't know what they were doing.

So she was ready to find Elquet in one go and ask him directly.

But——

"Ritsuka!"

Looking at the Servant who called her, Fujimaru Ritsuka said in surprise:

"Space Ishtar?"

Space Ishtar is also a Servant from the Servant Universe, and is the evil incarnation of the original goddess Astarte. She was raised as a good god since she was a child, and her personality is somewhat similar to Ishtar. She is a kind bounty hunter full of evil tastes.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not surprised by the encounter with Space Ishtar. What surprised her was that the other party had visible anger on his face at this time, and he looked even angrier than her.

So she asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Seeing this, Space Ishtar blushed slightly, and then she became more dissatisfied:

"You, really...! Even at this time, you still care about others first."

"I have heard everything about you and that inhibitory force!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was surprised:

"Huh? Has it spread to you?"

"Of course, it will spread to New Chaldea!"

When mentioning this, Space Ishtar said angrily:

"It's so infuriating. There is such a despicable and ungrateful planet. It's really unbearable!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka realized that the reason why the other party was angry was because of her experience.

Thinking of this, the anger in her heart suddenly faded a little, and a smile appeared on her face.

"——You are still laughing?!"
