Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"...Miss Gudazi?"

When they saw Fujimaru Ritsuka, everyone looked a little surprised.

Originally, they thought that Fujimaru Ritsuka was captured by Ereshkigal and imprisoned somewhere, but they didn't expect that he would stay in the temple so carefree, and didn't look like he was imprisoned in the underworld at all.

After reacting, Gudafu said with concern:

"Ms. Gudako, are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, then smiled and said:

"If I have to say anything, I'm probably a little hungry."

After all, it was already noon time. If Gudafu and the others hadn't just happened to arrive, she would probably have tried to find a way to solve the lunch problem first.

"Lord Ishtar!"

At this moment, she suddenly spotted Ishtar, who had become the size of a doll, floating in the air. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she approached with a smile and said:

"The smaller Ishtar-sama is so cute!"

"Cute? That's only natural. I'm the goddess of beauty—"

"Crack, click, click!"

“Eh!?”

"Where did you get this camera from... Damn it, you are not allowed to take pictures of my dark history, are you a devil?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed and said:

"How can it be a dark history? Isn't Ishtar-sama cute like this?"

"Anyway, delete the photo right now!"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ishtar playing together, full of energy and not looking like anything was wrong, Gudafu and Mashu both breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Gudafu finally had time to carefully look at the surrounding environment and said in surprise:

"Come to think of it, is this really the temple of the goddess of the underworld? It just looks like a wilderness?"

"This is the so-called underworld. Here, nothing gorgeous exists."

Gilgamesh on the side explained calmly, however, he looked at a small clump of Lycoris radiata growing alone in the temple not far away, and felt a little confused.

How come he doesn’t know when plants can be grown in the underworld?

However, this was not their focus today. Gilgamesh quickly turned his gaze away and looked at the empty platform in front of him.

"Is what the king said correct?"

"Ereshkigal, the queen of the garula spirits who gaze upon the black sky."

"——You speak as if you know everything. He is just a demigod king."

Along with a cold reply, repeated voices seemed to echo in the valley. Everyone suddenly felt a chill, the temperature in the environment dropped rapidly, and even the shield in Mashu's hand was gradually covered with a layer of frost.

At the same time, a huge undead made of skeletons gradually appeared in front of them——

"Fear. Pray. Despair, humans."

"I am the manager of death—

The mistress of the underworld, the one who tramples the sacred peaks, [one of the three goddesses alliance] - Ereshkigal! "

"That is the goddess Ereshkigal—"

Mashu gripped the shield tightly, observing the other party with a vigilant look, while at this moment, Gudauf clutched his collar tightly, feeling a little short of breathing.

At the same time, the data detected by Chaldea was constantly issuing warnings. Doctor Roman exclaimed:

"According to our tests, the atmospheric pressure there has reached 500hPa, which is equivalent to standing on the top of a mountain over 6 meters above sea level! The current perceived temperature is -°, and the environment is close to the limit of life activities!"

"If you keep going like this, not only will you get decompression sickness, but your alveoli will rupture! You must defeat Ereshgakiel before that, Fujimaru!"

Seeing this, Ereshkagil taunted:

"...I'm so vulnerable. I just showed up and I'm already at a loss."

"In that case, then despair of your own incompetence!"

Hearing her say this, Gudafu gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka beside him couldn't help but sneeze -

"Ah!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked over. Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand a little embarrassedly and apologized to Ereshkigal:

"Well, dear Ailei, if you continue like this I might catch a cold..."

"Eh?"

Ereshkigal was stunned for a moment, then said in a panic:

"Sorry, sorry, let me take back my magic power immediately!"

After saying that, the temperature in the temple instantly stopped its downward trend and quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

Feeling that the environment had returned to normal, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at her:

"Thank you, Ellie."

"It's ok."

Ereshkigal responded subconsciously.

After all, she is one of her few best friends, and you could say she is her first best friend, so of course she has to be careful to maintain the relationship with her.

……and many more.

But at this moment, Ereshkigal suddenly reacted and found that the people from Chaldea were looking back and forth at her and Fujimaru Ritsuka with strange expressions, their eyes full of inquiry, and her whole body froze.

Oops!

The dignified personality that was created with great difficulty collapsed just like that!

Ereshkigal let out a cry of grief in his heart.

On the other side, Gudafu was also a little confused and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ereshkigal with a strange expression.

Why does Miss Gudako seem to have a very good relationship with the goddess Ereshkigal?

Gilgamesh bluntly asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"What's going on? Do you know that guy?"

"how to say……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Until you came, we got along pretty well."

At this time, Ereshkigal was also a little surprised when he heard the conversation between the two people:

"Gudako, do you know anyone from Chaldea?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said even more embarrassedly;

"To be precise, I was originally with them, but for some reason I accidentally came to the underworld."

"This……"

After a brief conversation, both parties couldn't help but fall silent. They looked at each other, and then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka at the same time, with very subtle emotions.

"that--"

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, the culprit, chose to step aside obediently, sat down next to Manjushage, took out the Druid's Staff and set up a small defensive barrier around himself, then waved his hand obediently:

"You guys go on, please don't mind me, thank you."

"..."

The two sides looked at each other silently, and tacitly chose to ignore Fujimaru Ritsuka's existence and return to the original topic.

Gudafu said loudly:

"Ereshkigal, I hope you can release the souls of the captured Sumerian people, and then... let's go save Uruk together!"

"Because Ereshkigal is not an evil goddess!"

"?"

After he said this, Gilgamesh and Mashu looked at him in surprise, while Fujimaru Ritsuka on the side was even more puzzled.

No, buddy, who taught you to talk like that?

Did I use the wrong trick?

You're following the traditional routine of a weird male protagonist, but Type-Moon doesn't follow that approach!

"Oh!"

As expected, Ereshkigal transformed a huge spear of light, thrust it heavily into the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"My choice will not change."

"I will conquer Uruk before the other goddesses, seize the Holy Grail, kill all humans in Mesopotamia, and gather all their souls in the underworld!"
