Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

The outer gate of Box Garden 2105380, Perrybed Avenue, in front of the fountain square.

In front of the staircase connecting the outer and inner sides of the small garden, a boy named Jin, wearing a loose robe and curly hair - the leader of [No Name] - was sitting on the stairs, waiting for Black Rabbit to return while observing the passers-by with a blank look.

Although there is a clear [end of the world] in the box garden world, the surface area here is vast enough to rival a star. Therefore, although the box garden is the main stage of the [Gift Game] and is also the largest city in terms of area, there are still huge resources and rich lands abandoned outside the box garden, so there is naturally no reason not to explore it.

Therefore, those with talent will gather people to build countries, including countries of dragon species, ghost species, fantasy beasts, elves... and so on, and even build large-scale cities outside the box garden.

Correspondingly, many people without abilities began to choose to leave the box garden, or to cultivate their strength outside the box garden and then return to the box garden to participate in the [Gift Game] again.

If the people Black Rabbit brings back are not capable enough, they will have no choice but to choose the above path, right?

However, he had to leave his hometown to make a living with more than a hundred companions who were not even ten years old... This was the outcome he tried his best to avoid...

"Master Ren~! I've brought back a new companion~!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Black Rabbit."

Black Rabbit's cheerful call brought Ren back to reality from his worries. Although he was still a little uneasy, he still tried to smile. After nodding to Black Rabbit, he looked at the three girls behind her:

"Are those three ladies over there our new companions?"

"Yes! These three are..."

Kurotogi turned around actively and prepared to introduce Ren, but the next moment, he suddenly froze in place.

"Huh...? That's weird? Where's that Izayoi-sama with those evil eyes, bad words, and the aura of a "problem child"...?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka kindly reminded:

"He said 'I want to see the end of the world' and then he ran off. Over there."

She pointed in a direction. The end of the world she was talking about was probably the steep cliff they saw from high in the sky.

The stunned Black Rabbit raised his ears and couldn't help but ask:

"Why...why didn't you three stop him?"

"Because he said 'don't stop him'."

"Same as above."

“Because we are not very familiar with each other.”

"Then why didn't you tell anyone!?"

"Because he said 'Don't tell Black Rabbit'."

"Same as above."

“Because we are not very familiar with each other.”

Compared to the perfunctory answers of Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yō, Fujimaru Ritsuka's attitude was more sincere, but it was of no use.

“Damn it…you problem children…!”

Black Rabbit still fell forward weakly, hating himself for being so excited that he almost lost himself.

"There is another one...?"

On the other side, Black Rabbit's performance made Ren a little confused. But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his face turned pale and said:

"Oh no! At the end of the world, there are mythical beasts released into the wild for the [Gift Game]!"

"Phantom beast?"

"Yes, yes, it's an animal with a [Gift]. It's a powerful mythical beast near the end of the world. Humans can never deal with it!"

"Does that mean that guy is finished?"

"What a shame."

Regarding the tragic end of Izayoi Sakamaki, whom they had just met for a short time, Asuka Kuon and Kasukabe Yō made sarcastic remarks without any concern. Kurotogi stood up, sighed helplessly, and said to Jin:

"I'm sorry, Master Ren, I can only trouble you temporarily with the job I introduced."

"I'm going to catch that problem child right now. And I'm going to take this opportunity to make him regret to the core that he has done such a thing... treating this rabbit, who is revered as a [Little Garden Noble], like a fool!"

Black Rabbit's emotions changed from sadness to anger, and his originally blue hair gradually turned into a glowing light red.

She swung her light red hair, and in front of the surprised gazes of several people, the ground beneath her feet began to crack, and her whole body was ejected like a bullet, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Jiuyuan Feiniao held down her hair that was blown up by the strong wind and murmured in amazement:

"The rabbit in the small garden runs really fast!"

"The rabbits are the followers of the founder of the small garden. In addition to power and various gifts, they are also a noble species with other special privileges. As long as she doesn't encounter too exaggerated mythical beasts, I think she should be fine..."

Although Ren was still a little worried, he remembered Black Rabbit's instructions and tried to calm down again. He smiled at the others:

"Let me introduce you to the small garden."

"I am Ren Russell, the leader of the community. Although I am a young man who has just turned eleven, I hope you will give me your guidance."

"Please give me more advice."

The two sides briefly introduced themselves to each other, and the three women followed Ren, passed through the outer door of the box garden, and walked towards the real city.

"Speaking of which, Ren-kun,"

On the way, Jiuyuan Fei Niao suddenly asked:

"When you heard that we had another partner just now, you seemed a little confused."

"Could it be that our number is somewhat different from what you expected?"

"Hey, this..."

Ren hesitated for a moment, and after a quick consideration in his mind, he decided that it would be safer to be honest about this matter, so he nodded and said:

"In fact, we only prepared three invitations, so one of you must have just happened to show up with the others, right?"

After saying that, he quickly added:

"But don't worry! Even if it's just a coincidence, we welcome everyone to join us and there will be no prejudice!"

"Besides, we have no way of telling which three we invited and which ones we didn't."

Although Ren's attitude was sincere, what he said was actually half true and half false.

'Everyone is welcome to join' is true, but 'It is impossible to tell who the person who happens to show up is' is false.

The three people they invited were holders of the highest level [Gift], and the probability that another person happened to appear with the other three and also happened to hold the highest level [Gift] was too low.

As long as we perform the [Gift Identification], we can distinguish them immediately, right?

Of course, it would be even better if all four of them were holders of the highest level [Gift].

What's more, given the current situation of their community, they are not qualified to be picky, and the more companions they can recruit, the better.

"Is this so..."

Jiuyuan Asuka nodded slightly, not intending to continue delving into this meaningless topic.

And Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was standing by, couldn't help but reveal an expression of realization.

From this point of view, she must be the person who appeared by chance.

After all, the invitations in her hand each had a clear owner, and it seemed that they had little to do with this lowest-level community [No Name] that was on the verge of collapse.

In Kasukabe's embrace, the calico cat who was silently observing the others was keenly aware of the change in Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression and said:

"…Miss, it should be her, right?"

In the eyes of others, it was just an ordinary meow.

"Ah."

Kasukabe Yō nodded slightly in response, but didn't say much, or perhaps he didn't care.
