Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

In short, after understanding the current situation and continuing to chat for a while, the girls' night chat in the boudoir was almost over, and they each returned to their rooms to rest and have a peaceful night.

"——Knock knock."

The next day, Fujimaru Ritsuka was awakened from her sweet dream by a knock on the door.

"Ha~~~Here he comes..."

Opening the bedroom door and looking at Pest standing at the door, she suddenly said helplessly:

"Didn't we agree last night that since we are not in Hakoden now, we don't have to do what we did before?"

To this, Pest replied calmly:

"Ma Xiu has almost finished breakfast. She asked me to wake you up."

"...That's okay."

So Fujimaru Ritsuka obediently got up, changed clothes and washed up.

Coming downstairs, Matthew was starting to set the meal, and Huihara Ai was also helping. Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly.

This is the peaceful daily life she longs for.

On the other side, seeing the figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu smiled and greeted:

"Good morning, senior. Breakfast is ready, come and eat."

"Um!"

After breakfast, the four girls, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, Haibara Ai and Pest, prepared to leave for Ikebukuro to start dealing with the incident entrusted by Gaia.

Ikebukuro is located in Toshima Ward, Tokyo. It is a bustling urban area like Ginza, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. It has about one million people every day and is also a popular area among young people.

At Ikebukuro West Exit Park coming out of the west exit of Ikebukuro Station, four girls were waiting for someone on the roadside.

Matthew confirmed the information again and said:

"The agreed place should be here."

The goal of their operation this time was to find the rumored Headless Horseman operating in this area.

Before that, Mashu wanted Fujimaru Ritsuka to get to know another person. That was the person she and Haibara Ai met during their previous actions, and it was also one of their original goals.

but……

"That's incredible! When did such a cute girl appear on this street~!"

"My lovely ladies, do you want to play with us?"

Three young gangsters who looked carefree gathered around them, and chatted with them with a sly smile.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Sorry, we already have an appointment, so please go find someone else."

"Don't be so heartless...we are [DOLLARS]~? Super cool, right?!"

"What are [DOLLARS]? Gangsters?"

"Forehead……"

The three gangsters were speechless for a moment, always feeling that the development of things was different from what they imagined.

Generally speaking, shouldn't we be frightened and afraid of them?

But looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze of pure curiosity that showed no trace of fear or contempt at them, they somehow calmed down and explained:

"[DOLLARS] is not that kind of scary existence, but the Duse Gang. Just like the previous organizations like [Yellow Turban Thief] and [Blue Square]."

"Besides, we [DOLLARS] are a colorless, single-color gang. Doesn't it sound very handsome?!"

"That's it..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded thoughtfully.

Although she didn't quite understand what the Duse Gang was, judging from their words alone, it should be a bad society that wasn't even close to the underworld, a gangster organization, right?

in addition--

"If there were no colors, wouldn't anyone be able to claim to be [DOLLARS]?"

Hearing this, the gangsters smiled proudly and said:

"Of course! So there are so many members of [DOLLARS] online, and we are now the strongest force in Ikebukuro!"

"The [Yellow Turban Thief] and [Blue Square] have long been out of date, now it is our [DOLLARS] world!"

"But in this case..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to ask something else, but at this moment, the gangster's eyes suddenly lit up and he suggested enthusiastically:

"If you are so interested, how about you join [DOLLARS] too? Then we will be companions!"

"Eh?"

"It's very simple, just join the online community...!"

Seeing that the plot in front of her gradually developed from the initial mix and chat to the recruitment scene of the club, Pest was speechless and said:

"What is she doing? What's there to talk about with these guys?"

Originally, she was planning to teach these gangsters a lesson, but unexpectedly, Fujimaru Ritsuka directly blended into them, which made her feel a little embarrassed for no reason.

Matthew smiled and said:

"Because senior is very curious, and this is also a way to obtain information, right?"

"...Forget it, whatever."

Seeing that Mashu's tone was full of defense for Fujimaru Ritsuka, as if "senpai is right in everything he does," Pest could only shrug and shut her mouth obediently.

Under the warm invitation of the gangsters, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally chose to join [DOLLARS] because she was indeed a little curious about this so-called one-color gang.

The way to join [DOLLARS] is also very simple. Just search the [DOLLARS] online community on the Internet and register an account there. This way you are considered a formal member of [DOLLARS].

After entering the community, Fujimaru Ritsuka briefly read through the posts in the community and found that this was basically a hodgepodge forum, with all kinds of discussions, and it didn't look like it could be related to a bad society.

"——Master?"

Just then, a voice with a somewhat unexpected tone came from the side, attracting everyone's attention——

The owner of the voice was a handsome young man wearing a black bartender uniform, blond hair, and sunglasses. He looked like a professional in the underworld, and was completely different from the three thugs in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others.

The moment the three hooligans saw each other's figures clearly, they froze in place, staring at each other with unbelievable eyes, and stammered:

"Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping..."

"Mr. Heiwajima!"

Mashu's brisk call came, and the young man called 'Heiwajima' responded, then came to Mashu, bowed his head respectfully and apologized:

"Sorry, Master, I'm late!"

Seeing this, Mashu smiled a little embarrassed and waved his hand:

"It's okay, we just got here not long ago. Right, senior?"

"Well, it's about the same."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and agreed, looking at the young man in front of him, who also looked over, and then saw the three hooligans standing next to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

No matter how you look at it, these people don't look like people Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others know, but more like hooligans who want to chat up each other.

So, the young man frowned and said:

"What do you guys want to do?"

"I, I, we..."

Unable to speak a complete sentence because of fear, the gangsters couldn't help but tremble as they watched the other party's expression gradually become impatient.

"--Nothing, they just chatted with us casually."

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice came, and he came to the rescue, and then smiled at the three people:

"Next time, don't chat up girls so frivolously, okay?"

"Yes--!!!" ×3

The three people were suddenly shocked, and while responding at the loudest voice, they all gave Fujimaru Ritsuka a grateful look, and then ran away in an instant, disappearing in the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The three of them gradually stopped walking until their strength was exhausted, breathing heavily as if they had survived a disaster:

"... Alive, alive--!"

At this time, recalling the scene just now, one of them hesitated and said:

"I say, that guy just now was Heiwajima Shizuo, right?"

"He... called one of the girls 'Master'?"
