Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

The reason why Fujimaru Ritsuka proposed to stay temporarily was because of the plan they proposed during the day.

According to the original plan, Gudafu and others would come to the underworld with Gilgamesh the next day to defeat Ereshkigal.

But if nothing unexpected happens, Gudafu should have come into contact with Ereshkakil on his way back to Uruk after successfully recruiting Ishtar and taking her with him, and learned that she was not an evil goddess.

In fact, the reason why Ereshkigal joined the "Alliance of Three Goddesses" was not because she betrayed the Sumerian people as Gilgamesh said.

On the contrary, she truly loves humans, but she chooses to protect humans in her own way, as the goddess of the underworld.

Specifically, Ereshkagile's ideas are rather pessimistic, and he believes that the destruction of mankind is irreversible, so he intends to preserve as many of the remaining human souls of this era as possible, so that at least they can continue to live in the underworld.

That was why she worked so hard to make the gun cage, hoping to receive more human souls so that they would have a place to live immediately after arriving in the underworld.

This method is somewhat similar to the behavior of the Lion King in the sixth singularity.

Therefore, although Gilgamesh and others plan to attack Ereshkigal, as long as Gudafu has not been mind-controlled by Hinakeshi-senpai, Ereshkigal will eventually join them if nothing unexpected happens.

Back to the point.

This time she had originally planned to go to the underworld with Gudauf and the others, mainly because she was afraid that they would really attack Ereshkigal without saying a word.

Although the possibility should be small, it is still necessary to be prepared.

Therefore, considering their plan, Fujimaru Ritsuka's plan was that since Gudafu and the others would also come to the underworld the next day, she might as well stay here and wait for their arrival, so that she wouldn't have to run back and forth.

If it was just one day, it wouldn't be a big deal for her.

On the other side, Ereshkigal was holding a Lycoris radiata and carefully planting it in the center of the temple - although it was called a temple, it was actually just a rather plain flat ground.

The next moment after the Lycoris radiata was placed on the ground, its roots took root in the ground and the petals became more vivid. Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka said, it was very suitable for the environment of the underworld.

"—!"

Ereshkigal squatted on the ground, staring at the flowers in front of him, his eyes sparkling, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his joy was beyond words.

"Finally, there are flowers in my underworld...!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru stood nearby, watching the scene with a smile.

At this moment, Ereshkigal seemed to remember something, and looked over again, asking in a panic:

"Speaking of which, does it need watering? Will it get sick? What about the nutritional issues?..."

“I can’t answer so many questions at once.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka signaled the other party to relax first, then smiled and said:

"If you water it, it will definitely make it grow a little faster, but it's totally fine if you do nothing."

As she spoke, she took out a small cup of water and gently poured it on Lycoris radiata's head.

This is not ordinary water, but water from the river in the Paramita space, that is, the underworld that she controls. She calls it Yellow Spring Water.

Lianhua didn't know what specific effects the water had, so she brought some to little Da Vinci for experimentation.

What we know now is that Yellow Spring Water has a very strong concept of "death". It is extremely poisonous to any living being, but it is harmless to dead beings such as the undead.

In addition, Yellow Spring Water is also a very precious mysterious material.

And for Manjushage——

The Yellow Spring water flowed down its petals to the rhizome and was completely absorbed. Then, in front of Ereshgakiel's shocked gaze, the roots of the Lycoris radiata split apart, and a second and third plant grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye...

The originally solitary Lycoris radiata plant increased to five plants in the blink of an eye and became a small cluster.

Ereshka Kil was shocked:

“It’s turned into a sea of ​​flowers——!”

Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile:

"It's still a long way off."

"..."

At this moment, Ereshkigal remembered that there were outsiders present, and his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but his eyes were still fixed on the small bunch of flowers in front of him.

To her, this was no different from a sea of ​​flowers.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Ereshkigal seemed to remember something and stood up reluctantly.

Bringing human souls back to the underworld was the task she gave to the Garula spirit, and her task was to continue making gun cages to welcome the arrival of the souls.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had nothing to do, came over curiously and asked with a smile:

"Do you need my help?"

"No. But..."

Ereshkigal glanced at her. Because of Lycoris radiata, she had a great liking for Fujimaru Ritsuka, and they were both gods of the underworld...

"Well, if you want to learn, I can teach you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded decisively and said with a smile:

"Then please."

So Ereshkigal began to teach Fujimaru Ritsuka how to make a gun guard. After a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka made a gun guard and it didn't look unfamiliar at all.

She was a little surprised and said:

"You learn really fast. Is there something like a gun cage in your underworld?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"I have come into contact with some similar beings."

To be precise, not long ago, after learning that she was in charge of the Paramita space, her master Ereshkigal taught her the technique of making gun barriers.

"Speaking of it,"

Following this topic, Ereshkigal couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What does your underworld look like? It should be beautiful, right?"

"Um,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about it and said with a smile:

"It's OK. But after watching it for a long time, it will become monotonous because there is no change."

"indeed!"

Ereshkigal nodded vigorously in agreement. She could relate to this so much!

"However, I have a girl named Lianhua to help manage it..."

……

...

Ereshkigal was obviously very interested in another underworld that was completely different from the Sumerian underworld. He listened to Fujimaru Ritsuka's story with great interest, and from time to time he uttered an exclamation or showed a momentary envious look.

Especially when he heard about the automated reincarnation system in the Paramita space, he was completely stunned. While shouting "heresy", his tone sounded a bit sour.

Ereshkigal was forced by the gods to take on the job of the Goddess of the Underworld, but she actually didn't like this job. She just tried to fulfill this responsibility out of a sense of responsibility, forcing herself to be a perfect Goddess of the Underworld.

That's why Grandpa Hassan reminded her, "Don't praise people who are in pain," and don't praise the pain of "a person forcing himself to do something he doesn't like."

But as far as she knew, her god Ereshkigal had now become very fond of the work of the god of the underworld, and was committed to making various renovations to the underworld, trying to create a perfect underworld paradise.

Then, just wait for her to die.

Emmmmm......

Fujimaru Ritsuka declined to comment on this.
