Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

There was still dew on the windows and the air was a little chilly in the early morning, but the warm sunlight was already shining into the room from the window.

Knock knock, there's a knock on the door.

"Master Ritsuka, are you awake?"

“…Hmm…”

Ritsuka Fujimaru opened his eyes drowsily, responded, sat up, took off his pajamas, changed into casual clothes, and began to wash.

After washing up, she finally woke up and went to the door of the room and opened it. Standing outside was Leticia, who was wearing a maid outfit and holding breakfast.

Seeing this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, and then he greeted:

"Good morning, Leticia."

"Good morning, Ritsuka-sama."

Yesterday, after defeating Luos and successfully welcoming back former community member Leticia, Andromeda and Daikokuten, who were summoned by her, returned to Chaldea with the recorder she had made.

For Andromeda, being able to recreate her husband's most famous legend - defeating Medusa personally - can be said to be a great affirmation of her goal of "wanting to be a hero", so she said goodbye with great excitement and joy.

On the contrary, Mahakala, or No. 1 and No. 2, were very reluctant.

But it was no use being reluctant. She had just arrived in this small garden world and she didn't want to leave any strange impression on her companions whom she had just met for a short time, so she decisively "sent them back".

However, what she didn't expect was that after hearing about this situation, Leticia actually chose to lower her status and become a maid, saying that she wanted to repay the kindness of allowing her to return to the community again.

Although she repeatedly said that it was not necessary to go to this extent, Leticia's attitude was very firm, and she eventually became what she is now.

"Where are Asuka and Yao?"

"Both of them, as well as Izayoi-sama, are already up, and should be having breakfast now."

"Also, Master Ren hopes that everyone will gather in the conference room after breakfast. Today is the first day that everyone will officially start activities in the small garden, and there are still many things that need to be explained to everyone."

"I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and started eating, then couldn't help but sigh:

"Come to think of it, today is the third day since I came to the Little Garden, and I haven't participated in a proper Gift Game yet."

On the first day, he encountered the villain Jared. On the second day, he negotiated with [Perseus], ​​which eventually turned into a duel. He easily defeated the opponent and welcomed Leticia back.

As a result, it is now the third day and they have not yet officially participated in the Gift Game.

"I think I can join today?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru was full of expectations.

After dinner, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Leticia went to the conference room. Ren and Kuro Usagi were already waiting for them. In addition, Izayoi Sakamaki and Kasukabe Yō had also arrived. Only Kuon Asuka had not appeared yet.

Seeing the two figures, Black Rabbit greeted them energetically:

"Good morning, Ritsuka-sama, Leticia-sama!"

"Well, good morning, Black Rabbit. And everyone else too."

After greeting each other, Izayoi Sakamaki looked at Leticia behind Fujimaru Ritsuka and said in a long tone with envy:

"That's great - even though everyone is new here, someone already has his own maid."

Although he also has older children providing services for him, in comparison, the blonde vampire loli maid who holds the title of former demon lord is indeed more handsome!

Kasukabe Yō nodded in agreement, and added:

"To be precise, it has always been there."

"Well……"

Hearing the two people's teasing, Fujimaru Ritsuka's face turned red, and Leticia behind him smiled and said:

"Actually, I am not Ritsuka-sama's exclusive maid. I just give priority to serving Ritsuka-sama."

“Is there a big difference?”

"I think there are some."

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Fortunately, Jiuyuan Feiniao appeared in time and interrupted everyone's teasing.

Seeing that everyone else had arrived, Kuon Asuka quickened his pace slightly and came to his seat and sat down. Suddenly, he noticed the grateful look from Fujimaru Ritsuka beside him and asked with some doubt:

"What's wrong, Ritsuka?"

"No, nothing, thank you very much anyway!"

Jiuyuan Asuka: “?”

Seeing that everyone was present, Ren finally spoke:

"In short, everyone has just arrived at the Little Garden and has experienced so much. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you very much."

"From today on, you will officially begin activities in the Little Garden as members of [No Name], so I would like to explain to you once again the direction of our community in the near future."

Perhaps because of the stimulation that Izayoi Sakamaki had given him before, this time Jin was obviously more fully prepared, hoping to come up with a community development policy that would be recognized by the other party.

Back to the point.

Needless to say, the ultimate goal of their community is to revive the community and take back the name and flag from the devil.

Thanks to Izayoi Sakamaki's reminders and suggestions, they have come up with the slogan "Down with the Demon King" and have begun to spread it among the communities that have been liberated from the control of "Fores Garo".

But the Demon King cannot be found just by looking for him. Apart from this, they still have to carry out related activities normally - that is, participate in the Gift Game.

The first priority remains to ensure the normal operation of the community.

Currently, the only people who are eligible to participate are the newly arrived Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other four, as well as the newly returned Leticia. Although Jin, as the leader of the community, is also eligible to participate, his current strength is not enough to complete the Gift Game alone.

In other words, there are only a few of them who can get paid to support the community, plus Black Rabbit who can act as the referee of the game in exchange for payment.

Although the situation is much better than before when Black Rabbit had to support the entire community alone, it is still not optimistic considering that there are 120 children to support in the community.

At this point, Ren seemed to find it difficult to speak, but still said in a deep voice:

"Besides that, although I know this request may be a bit excessive, I still hope that everyone can work hard to regain the status of [Regional Ruler]."

"Regional ruler?" x4

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other three who looked confused, Ren explained to them.

A regional ruler, also known as an outer gate ruler, is, as the name suggests, the manager of a certain outer gate area.

For example, the outer gate area of ​​2105380 in the East District where they are located.

Just like the [Class Ruler] that Shiroyasha serves as, the regional managers need to be responsible for the areas they rule, work hard to develop the areas they manage, and also need to take the lead in fighting against the Demon King when he attacks.

In contrast to the responsibilities, the rights that regional rulers possess are also very attractive:

First, the regional ruler can decorate the name and flag of the community on the outside of the outer gate as a publicity for the community;

Second, the regional ruler can use the realm gates in the region for free;

Third, the regional ruler can charge other communities eighty percent of the fees for using the boundary gate.

The first right currently has no effect on them in [No Name], and the only things that Ren really cares about are the second and third rights.

"So, here's the problem."

Izayoi Sakamaki raised her hand and asked:

"What is this [realm gate] that you mentioned just now, young master?"
