Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

Arriving at the dining area, Kishitani Silla said to Selti:

"Celty, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

As he said this, he thought of something else, and then smiled:

"Now that I'm here, it doesn't matter if I don't have to continue pretending, right?"

"Ah, that's right."

Celty reacted after hearing this, so he opened the backpack on his waist and took out his head. At the same time, the motorcycle he had been pushing - Kexiuda Bawa also took the initiative to restore his original shape and transformed into It turned into a headless black horse with black smoke emitting from its neck, and neighed happily from nowhere.

"Xilululu——!"

Celty touched the body of her beloved horse apologetically. Although it can transform into various vehicles and is her right-hand assistant, there is no doubt that this original appearance is its favorite state. .

It's a pity that in order to survive in human society, it can only keep the appearance of a motorcycle most of the time.

Sensing her emotions, Keshuda Bawa lowered his head, rubbed his neck against her body and comforted her, making her smile with some emotion.

However, after a warm interaction with her beloved horse, Celty suddenly noticed that the sounds around her seemed to be much quieter. She turned her head and looked over, and sure enough, everyone was looking at her with either surprise or curiosity. .

Celty had expected this. After all, her current appearance was indeed too different from ordinary people. Therefore, facing everyone's gaze, she calmly spoke and introduced herself:

"My name is Celty Strülson. I am the Headless Horseman from Ireland. Please give me your advice."

"Her head is held in her hands, so cool...! And the motorcycle turned into a headless horse is also awesome...!"

"Xiaolan, look quickly..."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Celty curiously and excitedly. Her excitement was only slightly less than when she mentioned Kaitou Kid.

But when she turned her head, she saw Mao Lilan's face was a little pale, biting her lips, looking very scared but not daring to shout out.

Suzuki Sonoko rolled her eyes and quickly figured out what the other party was afraid of, so she said with a smile:

"There's nothing to be afraid of. He's a headless horseman, not a ghost."

"Is there a difference?!"

Mao Lilan didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear that the other party would hear, so she could only approach Suzuki Sonoko and whisper with a slightly trembling tone:

"After all, isn't that a monster from the West? And her head can talk..."

It could be seen that she was really scared. Suzuki Sonoko felt a little funny, but she didn't know how to comfort her. At this time, Conan, who was sitting next to Mao Lilan, suddenly said:

"This statement is actually not quite right."

"According to local Irish folklore, the other party is more like a goblin or a god."

"Eh?"

Mao Lilan was successfully attracted and asked with some confusion:

"Why do you say that?"

Conan talked eloquently:

"There are generally two images of the Headless Horseman, the version with a head and the version without a head. Judging from the other party's image and self-introduction, Miss Selti obviously belongs to the more traditional Dullahan ( Dullahan).

Dullahan is a headless goblin in Irish legend. Like Death, it heralds death, but instead of bringing death, it is a goblin that announces death;

Moreover, in early Celtic mythology, Dullahan was more often seen as the incarnation of Crom Dubh or Black Crom, the god of fertility, which is the origin of the identity of the god in Conan's mouth.

"Fairies, gods..."

Listening to Conan's explanation, Mao Lilan looked at Celty thoughtfully, her fear gradually dissipated.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but smile.

"Eh——"

"I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age. You're quite powerful!"

With a surprised voice, Amano Nagi appeared next to Conan and greeted cheerfully:

"Hello, my name is Amano Nagi. I am in the fourth grade of elementary school. I am the younger brother of the weather witch just now. As one of the few children at this party, how about we make friends?"

Seeing this, Mao Lilan smiled and said:

"Great Conan-kun, now I can make new friends!"

What's the meaning? You want me to take care of the baby again?

And isn’t Haihara Ai on the other side? Why are you looking for me? !

Conan was a little speechless, but he still forced a smile and said:

"My name is Edogawa Conan, first grade elementary school. Nice to meet you."

"Hey, are you four years younger than me?"

Amano Nagi looked at him in surprise. For some reason, he always felt that the other person was more calm than him. At the same time, he smiled and invited:

"I found a group of floating fish on the grass over there. Do you want to go take a look with me?"

"Well, I..."

I want to have dinner with Xiaolan even more now!

Although he thought so in his heart, before he could say anything, Suzuki Sonoko playfully waved his hand and said:

"Okay, don't stick to your sister Xiaolan all day long. She is Shinichi's bride-to-be, not yours. Go and play with your new friends."

"Sonoko, what are you talking about? I'm not that guy's bride-to-be!"

However, her teasing made Mao Lilan and Conan blush at the same time. Mao Lilan's reaction was more excited than usual, and she couldn't help but glance at Conan secretly.

However, Conan didn't care. Instead, he felt a little flattered. In his heart, he silently gave Suzuki Sonoko a thumbs up.

Okay, for the sake of your first half of the sentence.

Conan jumped down from the chair and smiled at Amano Nagi:

"Where is the place you mentioned?"

Amano Nagi glanced at Mao Li Ran, then looked at Conan again and smiled:

"Come with me."

Seeing Conan leave with the other party, Suzuki Sonoko looked around a little, as if she suddenly discovered something, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She said to Mao Li Ran with great interest:

"Look, Ritsuka seems to be doing something over there, let's go and see!"

"What's wrong?"

Mauri Ran looked over with some curiosity, only to see Fujimaru Ritsuka left the dining area alone and went to an open grassland.

"Hey, that's——?!"

Then, in their surprised eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka's raised right hand began to emit red light. At the same time, a magic circle that only appears in comics appeared in front of the other party, gradually emitting dazzling light and generating waves of air.

Not only Mao Lilan and the others, but almost everyone present was attracted by such momentum. The next moment, the strong light of the summoning circle made everyone's eyes empty. When their vision was restored again, a huge figure appeared in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka——

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a fierce giant wolf. Just standing on the ground, its height was completely higher than Fujimaru Ritsuka, completely blocking the sunlight she could touch. It was estimated that it was more than two meters tall, just like a creature that did not belong to the earth.

On the back of the giant wolf, sat a burly man wearing a black cloak and coat. But the most important thing was that everyone was surprised to find that the position of the other party's body where the head was originally was actually empty!

So the next moment, everyone looked at Celty again, with inquiring and curious eyes shifting back and forth between the two.

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the servant she summoned and called out happily:

"Hessen Robert!"

"Awoo——"

When facing Fujimaru Ritsuka, the giant wolf's fierce temperament seemed to become a little softer. While it opened its mouth to respond, it gently rubbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's cheek.

After the greeting, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Celty and smiled:

"The Headless Knight is here now."
