Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"……Eh?"

However, after hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, the smile on Kuro Usagi's face froze instantly, and a trace of panic flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.

This trace of panic was successfully captured by the sharp eyes of the four people.

--has a problem!

The next moment, the three problem children all showed interesting and malicious smiles. Being stared at with such malicious intentions, Black Rabbit tried hard to maintain his expression, but he felt more and more guilty as he looked at them.

Turning back to Izayoe, he said with a frivolous smile:

"It seems like you are hiding some key points?"

"Why, how could it be possible..."

Although he said this, Black Rabbit couldn't help but have his eyes wandering at the moment, acting quite shaken, and stammered:

"A few years ago, our [community] was still famous..."

"A few years ago?"

Before she could finish her words, Kaikai Izayoi grasped the key point and sneered:

"It means that the situation is completely different now, right?"

"For example, now your [community] has completely come to an end and is impoverished, so you have to place your hope in [gift] holders from another world?"

"——"

Izayoi's words were like a critical blow, and Kuro Usagi instantly became depressed, completely losing the lightness he had just now. But even so, she was still a little embarrassed to speak out, and seemed unwilling to honestly confess the truth.

Seeing this, Jiuyuan Feiniao crossed his arms and said with a hint of doubt:

"If you don't tell the truth again, we should have the right to refuse to join your [community], right?"

"Same as above."

Kasukabe Yao on the side also nodded in agreement.

"——!"

Black Rabbit's expression was shaken instantly, like a camel crushed by the last straw. She looked at the people cautiously and said:

"...If I tell the truth, will you be willing to join the [community]?"

Back to Izayoi, he irresponsibly spread his hands and said:

"Who knows, it depends on what you tell me."

"……I see."

At this point, Black Rabbit knew that she had been forced to a dead end and had no right to choose at all, so she finally gave up on herself and began to talk about the situation of their [community].

The so-called [community] is the general term for an organization established by multiple members. To carry out activities as a community, you must submit a "name" and "flag" to Hakoba. In particular, the [Flag] is an important thing used to demonstrate the community's sphere of influence.

The community that Black Rabbit belongs to is called [No Name], which means it has lost its own name and flag, and is a nameless organization at the bottom of the entire Hakodeni.

What's even more fatal is that except for the [name] and [flag], not even the companions who form the core of the community are left behind.

Among the one hundred and twenty-two members of [No Name] today, only Black Rabbit and an eleven-year-old boy named Ren Russell—also the current leader of the community—have enough gifts to participate in the game. The others The members are all children under the age of ten.

"We are completely at our wits end."

Nikai Izayoi sighed lightly, but did not show any extra emotion. The same was true for several other people, which made the unpredictable Black Rabbit feel uneasy.

"So, are you opening a daycare? How did you end up like this?"

Black Rabbit shook his head and said with a sad smile:

"No, their parents were all taken away too. Took away by the greatest natural disaster that attacked Hakodeni - the [Demon King]."

"Demon King?"×4

The four people's reactions were different, either excited or confused, but their interest in the word "Demon King" was the same.

Black Rabbit explained sadly:

"The Demon King refers to the Shura Gods and Buddhas who have the special privilege of the small garden called [Host Permission]. They can take the initiative to provoke the gift game, and no one can refuse it."

"It is because we were forced to participate in the game organized by the Demon King that our community...lost all the people and things necessary to operate as a unit [community]."

"Demon King..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed her chin. While sympathizing with the Black Rabbit community, she always felt that this existence that sounded like a big bad guy might have something to do with the reason why she was invited here.

Was she specially sent to deal with the Demon King?

Hmm... I feel like it's not that simple...

On the other side, Kaikai Izayoi showed an excited smile.

"Since he calls himself the Demon King, he should be the kind of powerful and ferocious despicable guy who seems to not be blamed by anyone even if I use all my strength to destroy them. He is powerful and bold, right?"

"Yeah...too..."

Black Rabbit smiled reluctantly, feeling that the other party's speech was a bit ignorant and fearless.

But then, she also said firmly:

"Our greatest hope is to keep our home where our companions can come back, and at the same time work hard to rebuild the community. One day, we must take back the name and flag of the community and carry it forward again!"

"In order to achieve this goal, we can only rely on powerful contestants like you. Can you please lend that powerful power to our community!"

After saying that, Black Rabbit bent down deeply and prayed sincerely.

She lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly, biting her lips hard, as if the prisoner was waiting for the final judgment.

"I want to take back my companions and my reputation from the Demon King... It's pretty good, this kind of determination!"

Izayoi smiled wantonly, and Kuyuan Asuka also showed a confident smile and said:

"Is it equivalent to starting from scratch? It's just what I want. If it's not difficult, I won't bother to join."

Kasukabe Yōya nodded slightly and said:

"I'm just here to make friends, nothing else matters."

"Everyone……!"

Hearing this, Black Rabbit suddenly raised his head and looked at a few people with an incredulous look on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief and surprise.

"Why, don't you want us to join? Then we can leave."

"No, no! Absolutely not! I really need your strength!"

Although he realized that this might be a joke, seeing the evil smile on Izayoi's face, Black Rabbit still jumped anxiously and hurriedly tried to save a few people.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, the only one present who had not yet expressed his opinion. She became a little nervous again. After she observed carefully for a moment, her expression suddenly became a little stunned.

Is the other party distracted?

No matter what, she still called to the other party cautiously:

"That...Ritsuka-sama...?"

"ah,"

Hearing the other party's call, Fujimaru Ritsuka came back from his thoughts.

Looking at the embarrassed Black Rabbit in front of her, she thought for a while, and finally nodded in his surprised eyes.

"I'll join in too."

What she is currently more concerned about is the information about the Demon King, plus she is new to the place and she is unfamiliar with it. At least judging from the current situation, Black Rabbit and its community are indeed a good choice.

but……

"Very good!!!"

Black Rabbit could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and cheered happily.

"But, then again,"

However, before she could be happy for a few seconds, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her hand again and asked curiously:

"If you are not satisfied with the situation of [the community], can you withdraw at any time?"

"babble--"

Black Rabbit's smile froze again.

"this and that……"

Could it be that this seemingly peaceful Fujimaru Ritsuka is the biggest problem child? ?
