Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

The final arrangement was that the Chaldeans, including Gudafu, Mashu, Merlin, Anna and Ishtar, would be responsible for entering through the western gate and leading the citizens of Nippur out.

The three people responsible for the frontal attack at the east gate to attract attention were Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Originally, Ishtar was assigned to the frontal attack group, but considering the possibility of encountering Kingu in a frontal attack, she decisively chose to follow Gudafu and others.

Leonidas I also agreed with her choice.

For now, Goddess Ishtar should be the strongest fighting force on their side. If she is easily killed by Jingu because of the compatibility problem, it will be an unbearable painful loss for them.

There is another reason besides this -

That is, Ritsuka Fujimaru took the initiative to choose to join the frontal attack team.

Although Ishtar's power is unquestionable, no one present has ever seen her true strength, but Fujimaru Ritsuka's power is obvious to all, at least to Ushiwakamaru and the others.

Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Ishtar each went to one side, which balanced the combat power of the two teams.

After the teams were assigned, everyone discussed the details of the battle in detail.

"……So,"

Finally, Leonidas I said:

"The time of action is set at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow morning. Everyone is free to move around, but please have a good rest tonight and recharge your batteries."

"Yes!"xn

……

...

late at night--

In order to prepare for the next day's action, Gudafu and others quickly went into the arranged military tent to rest after dinner. At this time, Merlin came to the top of the city wall alone, with a Fu Fu standing on his shoulder.

"Well, everyone went to sleep in preparation for tomorrow's battle."

Standing on the edge of the city wall and looking down, Merlin cast his gaze towards the tent where Gudafu was. For some reason, his expression looked a little bad, and he muttered:

"Although morale is high and the fighting power is abundant..."

"It's troublesome. It smells ominous. My prediction will definitely not be wrong in this case."

"Someone might leave tomorrow. One, no, two. If we lose people in a place like this, it will be even more serious in the future. Although I really want to avoid it——"

"Snapped!"

"it hurts!"

Before he could finish his words, Fufu, who was standing on his shoulder, raised her claws and gave him a big slap. Merlin said in pain:

"Can you please stop slapping people for no reason, Kathy Paluge."

"Fu~!"

"What? If you have time to spare, why not go to sleep? There aren't any girls I can hook up with on the north wall?"

"How rude! I'm working! Covering the walls with flower roots like this can at least strengthen the walls."

"Hey, why are Anna and Gudako here too?"

As he was talking, Merlin was surprised to see Anna and Fujimaru Ritsuka leaning against the wall.

"Fu~"

Seeing the figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Fu Fu decisively abandoned Merlin, fluttered onto Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder, and licked her cheek.

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly couldn’t laugh or cry:

"Okay, Fu Fu, I just washed my face!"

"Fu!"

"I'm not disliking you... Never mind, as long as you're happy."

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only surrender with both hands, give up resistance, and let Fu Fu ride on her head.

Anna looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka who was holding Fufu with some envy, and whispered:

"…It's just the night breeze."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also replied to Merlin:

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out to hang out like you."

Since tomorrow's operation was more important, she did not teach Gudafu the summoning technique today, but let him rest until tomorrow's operation was over.

And after this action, there should be more time left.

As for not being able to sleep...

She really just couldn't sleep. After all, sleeping was not her normal routine right now, and she wasn't particularly nervous, so there was no need to conserve her energy.

What kind of storms and waves has she not seen?

But she didn't expect to meet Merlin and Anna on this trip, and she herself was a little surprised.

Why doesn't she remember this part?

Come to think of it, Gudafu isn't here either.

What do you mean, you don’t even include her in the nighttime conversation?

"I'm not just fooling around!"

After forcefully correcting Fujimaru Ritsuka's statement, Merlin suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and came to Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile and said:

"I say, are you really not going to help with this operation?"

"..."

Hearing Merlin's words, Anna's eyes flickered slightly. After looking at the two of them calmly, she said:

"Do you need me to avoid it?"

"avoid?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly startled, then waved his hand and smiled:

"It's okay. It's not a shameful topic. There's no need to avoid it."

Returning to Merlin's question, she knew what he was referring to and smiled helplessly:

"No way, I can't help you all the time."

Bai Tian's application to actively join the frontal attack team represented her choice, which was not to interfere with this operation.

This operation is different from the previous ones of providing weapons and resources, providing intelligence, etc. If she gets involved, she might accidentally go straight to the finale.

However, she was not summoned to help Chaldea and his crew clear the seventh singularity.

Her purpose in coming here is to enable them to go further in the future.

So this time, she decided to take it easy.

"I see. That's a pity."

Hearing her answer, Merlin showed a pity expression, then smiled and asked:

"But, this will be very hard for you, right?"

"Is it really okay?"

After all, if he did nothing, combined with his sudden premonition just now, it meant that the other party could only watch them...

"Have it?"

However, upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at him strangely and said:

"I think it's okay."

"……Eh?"

Merlin finally couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After looking her up and down several times with a scrutinizing gaze, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Strange, why do I feel like something is wrong?

Was there something wrong with his premonition?

impossible……

Or has the other person been possessed by someone else?

It doesn’t seem like…

Seeing Merlin's tangled expression, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, without further explanation, and turned to Anna beside him and said with a smile:

"Come to think of it, Anna really doesn't want to consider signing a contract with Fujimaru?"

As she spoke, she felt in her heart that she had really taken great pains to give Gudafla fighting power.

"…I don't need it, and you didn't sign a contract with him."

Anna hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head and said something that she could not refute at all.

Okay, spicy is fine.

It's a pity that there are no sisters Stheno and Euryale in Chaldea here, otherwise she wouldn't need to speak and directly summon the two sisters. No matter which type of Medusa it is, she will have to surrender obediently.

Not to mention the Medusa Lily in front of her, even the rebellious girl opposite her could be directly turned against her.

Unfortunately, there is none.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka once again realized that if the Box was too shallow, nothing would work.
