Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"Is the purpose... to seek revenge on the Sun (Shiroyasha)?"

Pest is the spirit of 80 million undead who died in the Black Death. She descended to the small garden as a demon king. In order to take revenge on the culprit, the sun, she forced everyone to participate in the game at the [Fire Dragon Birth Festival]. However, she was defeated by her, so she became her vassal as a trophy.

Pest nodded slightly and said:

"Of course, this is also one of my goals, but actually, it would be best if I can achieve this goal, but even if I can't achieve it, it doesn't really matter."

"What I want to talk about now is something else - a mission that I want to accomplish no matter what."

Hearing what Pest said, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately understood the weight of her words, so his expression became serious and he pretended to listen attentively.

However, Pest did not continue talking, but suddenly changed the subject and talked about another thing.

"The demon king who summoned me to the Little Garden once told me that the fate that bound us - the eight million undead who died of the Black Death - was extremely powerful."

The other party had traveled to many parallel worlds, and in all the worlds he traveled to, he confirmed the existence of the phenomenon of the [Black Death Pandemic], and thus came to a conclusion -

This phenomenon probably does not belong to the probabilistic fatalism such as natural disasters, but is supported by the ideal state of the stars, implying a more absolute destiny that cannot be changed by human power.

In other words, 'someone' pushed for this incident to happen.

Fujimaru Ritsuka muttered:

"Gaining the support of the stars... should it refer to the sun? But if that's the case..."

"--ah."

She was halfway through her speech when she suddenly remembered something and stopped talking.

In their minds, the sun should also be included in the concept of "nature", but in the countless worlds observed by them in the small garden, the sun does not exist in that way.

The strongest star spirit who controls the sun and the white night, Shiroyaksha.

If the Black Death pandemic was really supported by the Sun, then it would be natural to regard Shiroyasha as the culprit who provided the support.

This is also the reason why Pest took revenge on Baiyasha.

But what does what I just said have to do with the 'other thing' that Pest mentioned?

As if to answer her doubts, Pest continued:

"But that person also said that the Little Garden World exists independently of the timeline and is a [space that encompasses all possibilities]."

"Therefore, even an absolute destiny with such a compelling force is not impossible to change."

"!"

The doubts in Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart were finally resolved. She looked at Pest in surprise and said:

"Do you want to change this fate?"

"...That's right."

Pest folded his arms with one hand, his eyes slightly lowered, but his tone was more firm than ever before.

"As long as there is a slight possibility, I will never give up, even if..."

"Be against everyone."

The Black Death pandemic had a profound impact on human civilization and was one of the important historical transition periods.

Although she has not found a way to change her fate, it is foreseeable that as long as she takes action, she will be stopped and attacked by all the gods and heroic spirits related to her, and she may even become enemies with some demon kings.

Therefore……

Pest looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, pursed his lips, seemed a little hesitant, but finally maintained a cold tone and said:

"...I have learned a lot about Chaldea these days. If my actions are successful, it will undoubtedly lead to the birth of a singularity and even a Lostbelt."

"And your mission in Chaldea is to repair the singularity and remove the loss belt. In other words, we are destined to become enemies."

"In that case..."

No, that's not what I want to say. What I want to say is...

——But this is the reality. If we are destined to become enemies, perhaps it is better this way.

and so……

"No, I think it's too early to say that."

"……Eh?"

Pest stared blankly at Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of him. Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his index finger and said with a relaxed smile:

"First, it's not 'you Chaldea', it's 'our Chaldea'; second, whether your actions will cause a singularity, this matter should be questioned for the time being."

Indeed, if it were in their world, Pest's behavior of modifying the past would undoubtedly lead to the birth of a singularity.

However, the box-shaped world and the several parallel worlds that it can observe and interfere with are a different world that looks very similar to the world they live in, but is actually very different.

Taking into account the particularity of the sandbox world itself, she believes that the rules of their world may not necessarily apply to the sandbox world.

"For example, during the Black Death pandemic, Shiroyasha in the Little Garden World might have played a role in it; but in our world, there shouldn't be beings like gods or celestial spirits involved."

"why?"

Pest couldn't help but frowned and cast a questioning and suspicious look. Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"When you were in Chaldea, did you learn about the concept of the Age of Gods?"

"..."

Pest remained silent, seemingly not having understood this knowledge, so she explained with a smile.

The Age of Gods went through three stages: decline, farewell, and opportunity. During the opportunity period around the first year of the Common Era, the Age of Gods basically came to an end, with only a very small number of regions retaining a trace of the environment of the Age of Gods. As for the gods, they had also completely left the earth.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the Black Death, which only began to spread in the 14th and 15th centuries, to have any intersection with the gods.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

“The Age of Gods… ends…”

I see. Is that why the gods of Chaldea are active in the world in that manner?

The end of the Age of Gods... That kind of thing...

Pest murmured softly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, she gradually came to her senses, stopped paying attention to the previous information, and brought the topic back on track.

She crossed her arms and said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Even if that's the case, if then..."

"We can only talk about it when the time comes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"No one can tell what the future will be like. Instead of worrying about what to do then, it is better to deal with the current problems first. That's what I think."

"…Is it okay even if we become enemies in the end?"

"If that really comes to pass, then I will definitely stop you."

The words from Fujimaru Ritsuka's mouth were just like the smile on her face, without a trace of confusion. Pest looked at her like this, and some emotions in his heart seemed to dissipate quietly.

Finally, she revealed a wanton smile and said:

"How dare you say that."

"In that case, I'll let go. I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong, okay?"

"Um...if it's your own fault, it's better for you to take responsibility, right?"

"Humph, I don't care!"

Pest turned her head away proudly, revealing a rare girlish expression. Then, she seemed to have thought of something, and whispered awkwardly:

"Thanks……"

"Um, what?"

“That’s…”

Seeing the evil smile on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face, Pest suddenly realized that she seemed to be teased. Her face turned red, and she glared at her in anger and said unhappily:

"nothing!"

After she finished speaking, she realized that her current state was a little abnormal, so she coughed twice, pretended nothing had happened and returned to her normal state, bringing the topic back on track.

"Although I said to act first and talk later, but now it seems that I don't even know how to act."

"I do have an idea."

"Ok?"

Seeing the inquiring look from Pest, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Since we've confirmed that Bai Yasha is involved in this matter, let's try to talk to her first after we go back."
