Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"Anri-chan, are you okay?"

"Don't be so stubborn, it's okay. Why don't we go to the hospital first?"

Seeing that Sonohara Anri suddenly raised her head, she seemed to be in a much better condition, but Kida Masaomi and Ryuugamine Teito were still a little worried.

In the face of her companions' concern, Anri Sonohara smiled and shook her head:

"Thank you for your concern. But it's okay, I'm much better now."

Then, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her and introduced herself politely:

"Um, my name is Anri Sonohara, please give me your advice."

"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, please give me your advice."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in response, then smiled:

"If you don't mind, we would like to talk to you alone, Anri-san, is that okay?"

Although Anri Sonohara still had many questions in her heart, at least she had roughly understood what the other party wanted to talk to her about, so she nodded and said:

"Of course, as long as it doesn't cause you any trouble."

"Huh?" ×n

As soon as these words came out, not only her two companions, but also Kadota Kyohei and others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, both surprised and confused.

From their perspective, Fujimaru Ritsuka just walked over to care about Anri Sonohara, and then made a suspicious request of "wanting to talk alone", and the key is that the other party actually agreed? !

...Is this really okay?

Ryuugamine Teijin looked at Sonohara Anri worriedly and said:

"Um, Anri-san, are you...really okay?"

Sonohara Anri smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Teijin-kun, I know what I'm doing, it's okay."

It was not just Fujimaru Ritsuka's request, she personally also wanted to talk alone, because she didn't want Kida Masaomi and Ryuugamine Teijin to know about [Sin Song], and didn't want them to get involved.

"Is that so..."

Whether it was the abnormal reaction just now, or the sudden agreement to the other party's request now, the weird behaviors of Sonohara Anri made Kida Masaomi think of 'Is Sonohara Anri coerced by the other party? '.

Therefore, when Ryuugamine Teijin confirmed the situation with Sonohara Anri, he stared at the other party's expression, trying to find a clue from it, perhaps a signal for help.

But unfortunately, he couldn't find any evidence to support his guess.

So, he could only sigh helplessly:

"Okay then."

"But Teijin and I will wait for you here and go back together, is that okay?"

This sentence was not only said to Anri Sonohara, but also to Ritsuka Fujimaru and Kyohei Kado, and they certainly would not have any objections.

Not only that, Kyohei Kado also smiled and said:

"We will wait here too."

"Thank you."

Understanding what Kida Masaomi meant, Anri Sonohara thanked him again, then looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and said:

"Then Ms. Ritsuka, there is a cafe here, let's go there."

"Okay."

Ritsuka Fujimaru smiled and nodded, and followed Anri Sonohara away.

Looking at the backs of Ritsuka Fujimaru and others leaving, Kida Masaomi finally couldn't help asking Kyohei Kado:

"I say, even if we can't talk about the matter, I don't think we can't even reveal their origins, right?"

"Of course."

The reason why he didn't explain the matter of the slasher was because he was worried that it would affect the little girl, and there were no restrictions on other things.

"But that's what he said,"

Kyohei Kado helplessly spread his hands and said:

"But in fact, we don't know where those girls came from."

"Huh?"

Masaomi Kida was surprised to hear this:

"Then why are you together?"

Kyohei Kado replied:

"It's because of Shizuo. They are all Shizuo's acquaintances. We just happened to meet them and gave them a ride."

"Ah,"

When mentioning Shizuo Heiwajima, Masaomi Kida suddenly remembered that it was Shizuo Heiwajima who had dinner with them at the sushi restaurant that day.

"Not only that!"

Erika Karizawa suddenly poked her head out and said excitedly:

"Did you see that cute girl with short pink hair? She is the master of Heiwajima!"

"...Huh?"

Masaomi Kida was a little suspicious whether there was something wrong with his ears.

Girl? Shizuo Heiwajima? Master?

Is it true?

...But if it's true, what exactly do they want to find Anri Sonohara for?

——

"That..."

In the cafe, both parties sat down one by one.

Although she roughly understood the purpose of the other party's visit, when she was ready to openly announce it, Anri Sonohara couldn't help but become a little hesitant, not knowing how to start.

But on the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't hesitate at all, and smiled and said:

"Well, then I'll ask directly."

"Anri, you are the holder of [Guilt Song], right?"

So direct? !

Anri Sonohara was shocked, and quickly glanced at Mashu and Peste next to her. Seeing that neither of them showed a surprised expression, she nodded hesitantly:

"...Yes. Do you have any questions?"

"It's like this."

Fujimaru Ritsuka began to explain that they are now looking for [Ikebukuro Slasher].

"...And now, we have confirmed that the identity of the Ikebukuro Slasher is the holder of [Guilt Song]."

Looking at Anri Sonohara, whose face was gradually turning pale, Ritsuka Fujimaru asked:

"So, Anri-san, are you the [Ikebukuro Slasher]?"

"I'm not!"

Anri Sonohara denied it excitedly, and her suddenly raised voice immediately attracted the attention of other people in the cafe. Upon noticing this, she immediately lowered her head shyly.

However, when she thought of Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, her expression became a little anxious again, and she didn't know how to explain it.

Observing the other party's reaction, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to ask:

"If it's not Anri-san, does that mean there are other [Song of Sin] holders?"

"this……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's calm attitude also made Sonohara Anri gradually calm down and said hesitantly:

"I don't know if there are other female knives, but..."

"Mother knife?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others' doubts, Sonohara Anri explained to them——

[Sin Song] is a self-aware demon sword that will control its holder to chop other people, generate [Son of Sin Song] in the body of the person who was chopped, and then control [Son of Sin Song] to chop other people. People, give birth to more [Son of Sin Song].

After [Son of Sin Song] kills someone and generates a new [Son of Sin Song] in the injured person's body, the new [Son of Sin Song] will also obey the orders of the [Son of Sin Song] that created it, but above that , all [Sons of Sin Song] must obey [Sin Song]’s orders.

Therefore [Sin Song] is called the Mother Sword.

And Sonohara Anri is the holder of the mother sword - [Song of Sin].

"I see……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and others nodded suddenly, then Mashu said:

"That is to say, the Ikebukuro Killer Demon is not necessarily the holder of [Song of Sin], but may also be the holder of [Son of Sin Song], right senior?"

"Yeah. But this is a bit troublesome..."

After all, they don’t know how many [Sons of Sin Song] there are, and they still need to find their location...

etc.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered something and smiled at Sonohara Anri:

"Anri-san, you just said that all [Sons of Sin Song] must obey [Singe Song]'s orders, right?"

"In that case, can I ask you a favor?"
