Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Originally, after Gudafu and Ishtar signed the contract, she wanted to talk to him, but at that time she took into consideration that he had just returned to Uruk, so she wanted to let him rest for a night first.

As a result, she accidentally ran to the underworld that night.

So today she chose to talk it all out with Gudafu before going to bed to avoid any further complications.

As for the Spirit-Based Shadow Summoning Technique that she is now going to teach Gudafu, it is of course the final version.

Since the contracts Gudafu signed with Ishtar and Ereshkigal were only temporary, it might be difficult to summon their spirit-based shadows.

As for the bond issue... there will probably be no problem with Ereshkigal, but it's hard to say about Ishtar.

Of course, even if it is difficult to summon the spirit-based shadows of these two goddesses, at least one spirit-based shadow should be able to be summoned stably—

That is Mashu's spiritual shadow.

Unfortunately, Mashu’s ability is actually very strong, but the Spiritual Shadow cannot have a spiritual effect, so it is difficult to exert Mashu’s true power, so it may be a little... weak when used.

Sorry, Matthew!

In addition, when he thought about how Gudafu didn't have to go through the difficult and tortuous development and improvement process, and could learn the final version, or even the more powerful version, of the Spirit-Base Shadow Summoning Technique right away, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh:

"You're really lucky, kid."

Why do I feel like I have no right to say this?

"?"

Gudafu was puzzled by the meaningless remarks made suddenly by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Ritsuka Fujimaru waved his hand and brought the topic back on track.

Back to the topic.

Gudafu was of course very happy to hear that Fujimaru Ritsuka was willing to teach him magic, but then he hesitated and said:

"But, my talent for magic..."

It's not that he is belittling himself. After experiencing so many singularities, the only magic he truly mastered is the Yin Qi Bomb. For the rest, he can only use the magic engraved on the magic suit.

As for magic that sounds so powerful, like the Spirit-Based Shadow Summoning Technique, he doubted whether he could master it.

"don’t worry."

Hearing Gudafu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and patted his shoulder, saying in a relaxed tone:

"If I can learn it, you can too!"

After all, this was a special summoning technique specially created for her by the magicians of Chaldea. It was a magic that was perfect for her.

Although there are some differences between Gudafu and her, he can definitely be regarded as the second most suitable person to learn this magic.

"Yes, really?"

Gudafu was still skeptical about this, and then he was slapped hard by the impatient Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Snapped!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to learn or not?"

"hiss--"

Gudafu covered his arm and took a breath of cold air. He didn't expect the other party to be so strong. However, when he heard the other party's question, he immediately nodded and said:

"Of course I have to learn!"

"Very good, that's right."

Fujimaru Ritsuka then revealed a satisfied smile, and then said with interest:

"During the period of learning magic, you must call me teacher, understand?"

Gudafu didn't think there was anything wrong with this and nodded as a matter of course:

"Okay, Gudako-sensei."

"Um--!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile widened, and he said with a smile:

"Then let's get started right away."

"correct,"

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to remember something, and he moved a little closer to Gudafu, and laughed softly:

"This matter is a secret between the two of us for now, so remember to keep it a secret, okay?"

……

...

The technique of Spirit-based Shadow Summoning itself is not too difficult, because the most important part is not the technique, but other aspects.

But even so, for them with average talent in magic, it is still not possible to learn it in one night, not to mention that they still need sleep.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka only told Gudafu some basic precautions and let him go back to rest. He started formal learning the next day.

As for whether Gudafu could fully master it before repairing this singularity, she could not give a definite answer.

So the next morning—

"Good morning, senior!"

"Fu~!"

Mashu was as energetic as ever and greeted Gudafu with full vigor. Fufu, who was standing on her shoulder, also called out in response.

But on the contrary, Gudafu looked a little tired, and replied weakly:

"Good morning. Ha~~~~~"

Seeing this, Mashu asked with concern:

"Did you not sleep well last night, Senior?"

Facing Mashu's concern, Gudafu couldn't help scratching his head and said:

"Well... about the same."

Although Miss Gudako didn't teach him a lot last night and only briefly explained some principles and basic things, he couldn't help but let his mind wander after he returned to his room.

Because the magic called the Soul-Base Shadow Summoning Technique contained too many things that shocked him, such as...

However, Miss Gudako asked him to keep it a secret, so he had to abide by the agreement, so he could only perfunctorily tell Mashu about it.

He quickly changed the subject and looked around. He only saw Merlin and Anna at the dining table. He said:

"Come to think of it, Miss Gudako hasn't gotten up yet?"

Mashu was indeed attracted by the new topic and smiled helplessly:

"I called Miss Gudako just now, but she said she wanted to sleep for another ten minutes, so..."

Hearing this, Gudafu couldn't help but laugh.

Only at this time, Miss Gudako's behavior is consistent with her appearance, like a real adolescent girl.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka reluctantly came down from upstairs, everyone had breakfast together and headed to the sacred tower.

"Good morning, King! And Miss Siduri too!"

"Good morning everyone."

"——Fujimaru, you guys are here."

Seeing Gudafu and others, Siduri smiled and nodded slightly in greeting. Gilgamesh no longer had a cold face as usual, but showed a rare smile.

Having won over the two goddess servants, Ishtar and Ereshkaele, and at the same time destroyed a corner of the [Three Goddesses Alliance], the Chaldeans have fully demonstrated their own value and are certainly worthy of his trust.

"Although it seems a little late to say it now, yesterday's operation was well done. The one thousand people who came back from the dead asked me to express their gratitude to you on their behalf."

Hearing this, Gudafu and Mashu were both excited and surprised.

"Yes!"

On the other end of the communication device, Dr. Roman couldn't help but sigh:

"Who would have thought that King Gilgamesh's attitude towards us now would be so different from before."

"Because Fujimaru and the others have proven their worth."

Gilgamesh responded briefly, then immediately became serious and said:

"Then let's get to the point."

"According to the original plan, after conquering Eresh-Gakil, the next target to be dealt with was Quetzalcoatl, a goddess from South American mythology. Unfortunately, the plan has changed."

"There is a more important task to be solved at the moment."

More important mission?

Hearing this, the Chaldean group couldn't help but feel a little confused, but they didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to speak next.

Gilgamesh paused for a moment and continued:

"The city of Nippur can no longer be defended."
