Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

The pleasantries are over, and it’s finally time to get down to business.

The smile on Sun Wukong's face faded a little, and he said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"I want to talk to you."

After saying this, she looked at Bai Yaksha aside, as if waiting for something.

"Um?"

Seeing this, Bai Yaksha raised his eyebrows slightly, crossed his arms with some dissatisfaction and said:

"What do you mean? Is there any secret that even I can't know?"

"Well..."

Sun Wukong scratched his head in embarrassment, and after thinking for a while, he sighed helplessly:

"Okay. If it's you, Shiroyasha, there should be no problem."

So she immediately got to the point and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Let me confirm first. How much do you know about the threats that exist in the Little Garden?"

"The threat in the small garden..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a while and said:

"Does it mean the final trial between the Demon King and Humanity?"

"Have you learned about the existence of humanity's final trial?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong and Shiro Yaksha were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that the other party could learn this level of knowledge not long after they came to the Little Garden.

"This is all thanks to Sherlock Holmes..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head in embarrassment and briefly explained the cause and effect, which earned another admiration from the two people.

"With this ability to collect information, he is worthy of being a famous detective!"

"How brave you are to use my information as a clue!"

After sighing, Sun Wukong continued:

"Now that you have understood this, I will get straight to the point -"

"You are right in your guess. One of the reasons why Buddha invited you to the Little Garden is to deal with the final trial of mankind."

"Dealing with humanity's final trial?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not too surprised by this result. On the contrary, Shiroyasha on the side couldn't help but frowned and said:

"Wait a minute. If I remember correctly, there should be no human final trials still active in the Little Garden, right?"

"That's true."

Sun Wukong nodded in affirmation, but then she said:

"But as far as I know, there is currently a mysterious alliance of demon kings operating secretly, with the intention of liberating the sealed humans for the final trial, in order to completely destroy Hakoden."

"What?"

Hearing this, Bai Yaksha's whole temperament instantly became fierce, and he asked in a deep voice with a serious expression:

"Who are those guys? Where did they come from? When did they start their activities? Why did they want to destroy Hakodeni?"

Faced with this series of questions, Sun Wukong just shook his head, and then said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"If the other party succeeds and frees the sealed humans from the final trial, the next step will be up to you."

"Well, I understand."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded naturally and didn't think there was any problem with this, but it aroused Shiro Yaksha's sideways glance. She asked:

"Let me tell you, do you, girl, know what the final trial of mankind means? Are you so willing to agree?"

"After all, he is someone who must be defeated."

"Well... that's true... but it seems that a lot of things that are concerning are omitted..."

Faced with this confident answer, Shiroyasha looked constipated, while Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Sun Wukong curiously and asked:

"I have a question. Can't we stop the other party before they succeed in their plan?"

"That's of course the best."

Sun Wukong nodded:

"It would be great if you could do it. After all, if humanity's final trial is liberated rashly, it will inevitably cause quite heavy casualties."

Then, she smiled and said:

"The best-case scenario is that you successfully prevented the other party's conspiracy, took the initiative to liberate humanity's final trial and defeated it without causing any casualties, and everything was happy when you were fully prepared."

"But I also hope that you can prepare for the worst."

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded again. At this time, Bai Yasha finally couldn't help but said to Sun Wukong:

"Do we have to insist on defeating the final trial of mankind? What if we fail? You should not be unclear about how terrifying these oldest demon kings are."

"Of course I understand."

Sun Wukong looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said firmly:

"That's why I know better that now is the best time to deal with the final trial of mankind. Because there is no more suitable candidate than Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Well, that..."

The sudden huge trust made Fujimaru Ritsuka feel an inexplicable pressure, so she could only scratch her head and said:

"Anyway, I will try my best."

However, Bai Yaksha did not agree with Sun Wukong's remarks. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said:

"What if we include the canary?"

"Even counting the canaries, I still stand by my opinion."

"..."

Seeing that Sun Wukong's attitude was so firm, Bai Yaksha finally became a little surprised.

She knew very well that her friend's character would not lie on such an issue. If he was so sure, there must be some basis for it.

So, she turned around and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully again, her eyes full of inquiry, wanting to find out what secrets the other party had that would make Sun Wukong believe in her so much.

And after looking at it, she suddenly discovered a white bracelet on Fujimaru Ritsuka's right wrist, looming between the sleeves.

It was just a hand rope that looked ordinary, but vaguely, she seemed to be able to detect a trace of the aura of a saint.

The Gods of the Biblical System?

Another behemoth.

The Greek gods, the Egyptian gods, the Buddhist gods, the biblical gods, the Nordic gods, and perhaps the Taoist gods... Such a huge group has almost taken over half of the power of Hakoniwa, right?

——Fujimaru Ritsuka, is he another hero trained by the gods?

Thinking of this, Bai Yaksha thought that he seemed to have found the truth, and a glimmer of understanding appeared in his eyes.

However, before confirming the possibility of Fujimaru Ritsuka herself, she still insisted on her opinion and worked hard to prevent the seal of humanity's final trial from being released.

The Demon Lord Alliance is secretly active in Hakodeni... We need to investigate this matter carefully next.

At the same time, after roughly explaining the problem of the final trial of mankind, Sun Wukong looked at Bai Yaksha again and said with a smile:

"Next, I want to have a private chat with Junior Sister Ritsuka, please."

"...Okay, okay, whatever you want."

This time Bai Yasha didn't insist. She shrugged and turned around to leave. When she left, she also placed a barrier around them to isolate the sound.

Sun Wukong smiled, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again and said:

"So, let's talk about another thing."

"——What do you think of Hakoba?"

"How's Hakoba?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka hesitated for a moment, feeling that this question seemed familiar.

It seemed that she had been asked once by Holmes before going out.

Even so, she answered honestly:

"At least so far, I think it's pretty good. Everything about Hakoba is interesting."

"Yeah?"

After hearing her answer, the smile on Sun Wukong's face seemed to brighten a bit, and he seemed very happy with this answer.

But then, she sighed with a headache and said:

"It's a pity that the gods at the top are becoming more and more dissatisfied with Hakoden."
