Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"He really is the Headless Horseman."

Although Chaldea can also have a headless horseman, Hesse Robert, he should be regarded as the Wolf King in essence, and there is still a difference from a pure headless horseman like Celty.

In addition, looking at the faint black smoke that kept coming out of Celty's neck, Fujimaru Ritsuka said curiously:

"What is that black smoke?"

"I'm not sure either."

"It's part of my body anyway."

At the same time, Haihara Ai looked at Celty with interest and asked:

"How can we eat without a head?"

"I can survive without eating."

"Eh..."

Although she wanted to say that this was not scientific, Haibara Ai was now used to all kinds of unscientific situations, so she just rubbed her chin and murmured:

"If it can move without replenishing energy... wouldn't it be equivalent to a human-shaped perpetual motion machine?"

"If so..."

Countless bold and terrifying plans can be thought of in an instant.

Of course, Haibara Ai did not harbor any specific malice towards Celty, but was just basing her thoughts on scientific research, but it still made Celty feel a little uncomfortable.

She was obviously just a little girl, but the other person's current state couldn't help but remind her of a very annoying guy.

...It must be her illusion, right?

Back to topic.

After confirming Celty's identity, just as Heiwa Shizuo said before, Fujimaru Ritsuka told Celty their purpose of looking for her.

"...I see, I understand."

After hearing the reasons why Fujimaru Ritsuka and others found her, Celty nodded clearly and typed very reasonably:

"You're right."

"In the future, I will pay attention to avoid crowded places and times when working."

Because as Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others said, if more and more people notice her existence, it will not only be a social problem, but her own life may also be disturbed.

This is something she herself doesn't want to see.

"Great, thank you for your understanding and cooperation."

Seeing Celty being so reasonable, Fujimaru Ritsuka also showed a relaxed smile. He didn't expect things to progress so smoothly.

Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka also explained to Celty that if there was any trouble, he could also come to her.

And just after finishing speaking, Celty typed with some hesitation:

"Actually, I do have some troubles now."

"I'm looking for my head."

"Looking for the head..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted her head in confusion, and then remembered the folklore about the other party.

The Headless Horseman is one of the most famous figures in Irish folklore.

Regarding the origin of the Headless Horseman, one of the theories is that he was a brave knight during his lifetime, but he was unfortunately killed on the battlefield and his head was cut off by the enemy.

Therefore, at night, he would ride an undead horse in Sleepy Hollow, looking for his lost head. Whenever he saw someone who looked similar to himself in life, he would behead him and bring him back.

So when Celty talks about looking for heads, he means...

"wrong--!"

"I'm definitely not that scary the Headless Horseman!"

Celty frantically typed to deny, looking a little emotional. Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and scratched his head and said:

"Really? Sorry, sorry..."

At this time, Matthew smiled and said:

"What the seniors said is just a kind of legend."

"In fact, in orthodox Irish folklore, the image of the Headless Horseman is described as holding the reins of the headless black horse with one hand, and holding his own head around his waist with the other hand."

In traditional folklore, the Headless Horseman resembles a herald of death. He would not take human souls by force, but when someone was about to die, he would come to the other person's door and call the other person's name. If the other person opened the door, he would pour buckets of blood on them.

After hearing the story told by Matthew, Celty nodded crazily and typed:

"You're right, this is me!"

"Thank you for clearing my name!"

"Hey, you're welcome."

Mashu smiled sheepishly, and as her friend, Shizuo Heiwajima said in surprise:

"Eh——"

"In other words, Celty, are you the God of Death?"

"I guess not."

"But it may be similar."

"Anyway,"

"I originally had a head,"

"But I don't know why it was stolen..."

"Miss Selti, wait a moment."

Watching Celty frantically typing on the PDA and then constantly showing it to them was cute, but it was too much trouble.

So Fujimaru Ritsuka temporarily interrupted Celty's speech, and then, under the surprised eyes of Celty and Shizuo Shima, she took out the Druid's Staff from the [Minister's Treasure].

Then, she tapped the ground lightly with the Druid's staff, and an invisible wave of magic spread out from the center of the Druid's staff, passing through everyone present.

After doing all this, Fujimaru Ritsuka took back the staff and smiled at Celty:

"Okay, Miss Selti, you can speak directly in your heart now, and we can all hear it directly."

‘Eh? Really? ’

Celty was still a little doubtful, but as soon as he finished speaking, Heiwajima Shizuo raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:

"Celty, was that your voice just now?"

'What's the meaning? Can you really hear it? ’

"I think I can really hear it. And speaking of which, I didn't expect your voice to be quite nice."

Matthew smiled and confirmed:

"Yes, Miss Celty's voice is indeed very nice."

Celty's voice belongs to the type of a gentle sister, but it also has a full girlish feel, and it sounds very moving indeed.

‘? ! ! ’

Celty was surprised, shy, and a little happy at the same time.

She was shy because her voice was heard by so many people for the first time, and happy because, after so many years, she could finally communicate with people normally again through speaking.

And her voice...it would be great if Silla could hear it too.

Soon, Celty regained her composure and began to tell her story——

Just like the folklore told by Matthew, she was originally a headless horseman living in Ireland, but one day, for some unknown reason, her head was suddenly stolen.

Not only that, but part of her memory was also missing, causing her to not know what happened or who stole her head.

But no matter what, she could not let her head be stolen and ignore it, so she began a journey to find the head.

After traveling all over Ireland and all over Europe, she still had not found her head, but by chance, she learned that it was said that her head might have been sent to Japan.

So, she came to Japan by smuggling, and after experiencing a series of things, she now lives temporarily in Tokyo, working as a "porter" while continuing to search for her head.

‘...Although I haven’t found my head yet, I can vaguely sense that it is still somewhere in Japan! ’

Celty's tone was determined. Then, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, and requested with a glimmer of hope:

'If possible, I would like your help to help me get my head back. ’

"That's it..."

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not hesitate too much, nodded and said with a smile:

"Of course, no problem. Please leave this matter to us."
