Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"It turns out I'm really dead..."

Faline looked down at her hands, always feeling that there was no real sense. She whispered:

"I can't remember clearly what happened at that time, but is everyone okay? It must be very hard to fight the Flame Dragon to save me, right?"

"And where are Kikuro and Namari?"

"Kikuro and Namari left the team. As for the battle, it was actually not very hard..."

When this topic was mentioned, Malucile scratched her head in embarrassment and said:

"Actually, Enryu was defeated by Ritsuka alone before we could do anything."

"Eh? Defeat Yanlong alone?!"

Faline's eyes suddenly opened wide in surprise, and she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, her eyes full of shock and curiosity.

Among the people she knew, Julang was probably the most skilled, but even he couldn't defeat Yanlong alone. Such a scene was a bit unimaginable for her.

"How on earth is it done?"

Hearing this, Maluciel looked over with the same curiosity. Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"That's it..."

The entire battle process was very brief, and she finished the whole process in just a few sentences, but it still amazed Faline and Maluciel.

At least in their eyes, it was still an unimaginable scene, and they also had a vague idea of ​​Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others' strength——

All in all, it’s very awesome!

"Right,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have thought of something and said to Fa Lin:

"Malucile said that you have great inspiration and rich experience in dealing with ghosts, so I have always wanted to ask you a question..."

She explained the recent encounter with the ghosts. After listening, Faline pondered for a moment and said:

"Observing humans is a relatively common behavior among ghosts, but most of them are to occupy the other person's body. When humans invade their residence, they will also use methods to drive them away."

"But I have no tendency to attack for a long time...and I don't dare to get close..."

She shook her head and said she wasn't sure, but then smiled and said:

"If I have a chance later, I can try to ask them for you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and said:

"That's fine, then I'll leave it to you."

"Speaking of it,"

Maluciel said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"After a meal and a night's rest, we should be returning to the ground. Do you want to go back with us?"

"No,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Ma Xiu and I should continue to explore. If possible, I would like to meet the master of the maze and understand why he built such a maze."

"That's it."

Malucile nodded. She was actually very curious about the question Fujimaru Ritsuka asked. Unfortunately, their team could only stop here for the time being.

As for their safety...

After witnessing the exaggerated deeds of Mashu steadily moving forward despite Undine's attack, and Fujimaru Ritsuka defeating Flame Dragon by herself, she felt that it would be more realistic for her to worry more about the problems they might encounter on their way back.

…

…

"The dragon body can be grilled, the dragon tail can be stewed in soup, and the wheat flour obtained from the orcs..."

Sensi was making the dragon meat dish that he longed for, while Chirchak and Leos sat aside, chatting about what was going to happen next.

The most important battle came to an end in a way that no one expected, but for Chilchak, what's more important is that now he can finally drink without any scruples! “Hehe, it turns out that the taste of wine is the most soothing...!”

Chilchak sighed with a smile, and then seemed to think of something. He held the half-drunk bottle of red wine and asked Leos:

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course it's to return to the ground. We shouldn't be able to return the same way, so we have to find another..."

"That's not what I want to say."

Chirchak said helplessly:

"When you go back now, you shouldn't have much money on you, right?"

"Well, I still have some savings in the bank..."

"But the certificate has been lost, right? It will take a month to reissue it."

"yes……"

Laos is also in a bit of a dilemma. After returning to the ground this time, he and Faline will probably have to live in poverty for a month.

But more importantly, Chilchak's principle is to 'give money first and then work', and he can't get much money now, which means that after returning this time, the other party will probably leave the team like Namari. .

This is probably what the other party meant.

After all, Chilchak also has a family to support, so he can completely understand. Just thinking about it carefully, I don’t know what their team will eventually look like after going back this time.

Seemingly feeling that this topic was a bit inappropriate, Chirchak scratched his head and suddenly remembered another thing:

"Speaking of which, what happened to Malucile? Did you know that she knew black magic when you recruited her?"

Laos shook his head and recalled:

"I didn't ask carefully. I only knew that she was Faline's classmate at the magic school. She said she wanted to see the maze for the sake of studying..."

"I always feel something is wrong... Could she be a dark elf...?"

"——Who do you say is the dark elf?"

"Whoa-?!"

Marusil suddenly appeared behind him and frightened him. He quickly distanced himself and explained:

"But if those magics were really harmless, they wouldn't be taboos, right?!"

"Harmless? Healing spells can be used to torture prisoners, just like swords. It all depends on how the person uses them."

Marusil, who had just come out of the bathhouse, explained while tying her hair:

"My research is to make forbidden spells benefit society. I haven't done anything against my conscience. But please forget what happened just now. It will be good for everyone."

"Isn't this against my conscience?!"

Chirchak went crazy for a while, and drank two more gulps of wine. He said:

"Forget it, it's already like this anyway."

Laos, who was standing aside, looked at Falin behind Marusil. Seeing that she had recovered as usual after taking a bath, he finally felt relieved. Then he came to Fujimaru Ritsuka and handed her the prepared map and said:

"This is the map of the sixth underground floor. Please accept it. But the maze The terrain changes occasionally, and I can't guarantee whether the current underground sixth floor is still the same as on the map. "

"I see, thank you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took the map and asked with a smile:

"What are your plans next? Are you going to return to the ground?"

"Yes."

Laios nodded and said:

"What about you? If you want to go back, we can act together."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled again and responded:

"No, Mashu and I should continue to explore down."

"--Anyway, let's prepare to eat first."

At this time, Senxi suddenly interrupted and said:

"The food is almost ready. Today is a celebration banquet. Let's eat and chat."

Although the resources on hand are limited, but borrowing some wheat flour from the orcs, Senxi made three dishes: dragon tail meat soup, dragon meat onion pizza, and fried flame dragon steak, as well as as much fresh-cut flame dragon barbecue as you want. It can be said that a luxurious feast is achieved on the fifth underground floor.

"Then... to celebrate Falin's successful resurrection..."

"Cheers--!!!" ×n
