Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Although he still had no idea of ​​the current situation, the reason for summoning him was self-evident—

As a detective, naturally, I am here to solve the case (solve the mystery).

Of course, it would be fine if he fought as a warrior. After all, he did have certain martial arts skills, but it was a bit of a waste of his talent.

Back to the point.

"Dear Holmes, the current situation is like this..."

Without time to chat, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately explained the current situation to the other party.

After all, no matter how great a detective is, it is impossible to come up with an answer without knowing everything.

But at this moment, a huge thunder roared not far away, interrupting her speech.

The black rabbit had jumped to the highest point of the palace without anyone noticing, holding high the glowing three-pronged vajra—a gift from the god of war Indra, the [simulated godhood vajra]—and announced loudly:

"The request to activate [Judgment Authority] has been accepted! The next gift game [The Pied Piper of Hamelin] must be temporarily suspended for deliberation and resolution! Participants and organizers please stop fighting and quickly prepare for negotiations!"

"Repeat once more—"

……

...

"Review and resolve? Negotiate?"

The sudden unexpected situation made Fujimaru Ritsuka a little confused. At this time, Holmes beside him smiled and said:

"This is one of the powers granted to the Judgment Controller who possesses the [Trial Authority]. It can be used to confirm whether there are any imperfections in the rules created based on the [Organizer Authority]."

“It’s like finding out your opponent is cheating during a game and asking for a timeout to conduct an inspection.”

"Eh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise. Holmes raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"What's wrong? Isn't this common sense in the small garden?"

"?"

...Is it common sense? Then why doesn't she know it?

More importantly, how did the other party know?

As if sensing the doubt in her heart, Holmes chuckled and said:

"This knowledge is recorded in the data you sent back to Chaldea. Didn't Ritsuka read it yourself?"

"Forehead……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression instantly became somewhat awkward. He scratched the back of his head with a wry smile, then immediately changed the subject:

"In that case, let's go meet up with the others first!"

At the same time, after hearing Black Rabbit's declaration, both sides of the two battlefields in the game venue stopped fighting and began to meet up with their companions.

Sandra first went to meet up with her brother Delaman and other members of Salamandra, while everyone from No Name gathered on the stage where Ritsuka Fujimaru was.

"Is everyone okay?!"

Black Rabbit, who had just finished making the announcement, rushed over anxiously. Seeing that Izayoi Sakamaki looked the most embarrassed among the crowd, he immediately said worriedly:

"Lord Izayoi, are you hurt!?"

"How is that possible? It's just some dust."

Izayoi Sakamaki responded indifferently, and Kuro Usagi examined him carefully with some suspicion, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party was not lying.

Then, Izayoi Sakamaki asked somewhat unhappily:

"So, what's going on now?"

It was rare that he had an opponent who could take him a little seriously and have a refreshing fight, but it was suddenly interrupted in the middle.

This bad experience made him feel a little bad.

Jiuyuan Feiniao on the side said:

"After we met with Bai Yasha again, we confirmed that he could not participate in the game, but there was no detailed explanation in the contract document."

"So she suspected that 'this game may not have established a definite victory condition', and asked us to pass this matter on to Black Rabbit."

Black Rabbit nodded and said:

"After receiving the news, we followed Lord Baiyasha's instructions and started the review and resolution process. Fortunately, we made it in time!"

She explained to the group the significance of the deliberations, much in the same way as Holmes had explained them.

The deliberation resolution is not only a means of reporting problems, but also a means of countering the authority of the Demon King who often launches surprise attacks, because it can forcibly interrupt the Gift Game that has already started.

Because during the pause, everyone has more time to think about the conditions given by the Demon King for cracking the game.

"I see."

The problem children nodded in understanding. Then, Kuon Asuka looked at Holmes next to Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked:

"So, who is this person? Is he someone you know, Ritsuka? Or...?"

Another Heroic Spirit like Andromeda? A Servant?

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded to confirm Kuon Asuka's guess and said with a smile:

"This is the helper I summoned, an expert in solving puzzles, his name is..."

"…Hello, over there."

At this moment, a cold voice interrupted her speech. Her enemies, Pest and Weser, walked towards them. Under everyone's vigilant gaze, Pest looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"How long do you plan to keep our men tied up?"

"Eh?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru was stunned for a moment, then looked at La Ting who was awake but pretending to be dead on the ground, and then cast an inquiring look at Kuro Rabbit.

Seeing this, Black Rabbit said with some shame:

"I'm sorry, Master Ritsuka. But according to the rules, their companions should be returned to them..."

The purpose of launching the deliberation resolution is to protect the contestants who are suddenly attacked by the devil, but who could have thought that before the deliberation resolution is launched, the contestants will be able to defeat and capture the people on the devil's side?

"If that's the rule, then fine."

"receive."

Ritsuka Fujimaru smiled helplessly and put the Qiankun Circle away again.

La Ting, who regained her freedom, got up from the ground, glared at Fujimaru Ritsuka angrily, then walked back to Pest with her head drooped, and spoke cautiously with a face full of shame:

"I'm sorry, Master. It's all my fault..."

"Okay, shut up."

Pest's tone was neither sad nor happy, and he said calmly:

"There won't be a next time."

"Yes~!"

Hearing this, La Ting immediately became happy, opened her arms as if she wanted to give Pest a big hug, but after being given a cold glance by the other party, she withdrew her hands awkwardly and stood behind the other party obediently.

After finishing this task, Pest looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again, smiled slightly and said:

"You are very strong, and I like you very much. Join our community?"

"Eh?"xn

Such a straightforward and undisguised act of poaching made everyone stunned, and then they heard Fujimaru Ritsuka respond with a smile:

"So, if you want to invite me, you should at least let me know the goals of your community, right?"

"Eh?! Ritsuka-sama!?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer made Kuro Usagi panic, but Pest on the other side shook his head and said:

"I'll tell you after you join us."

"Really? I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Black Rabbit on the side breathed a sigh of relief, while Pest, who was rejected, said indifferently:

"Anyway, as long as we win the game, you'll eventually join us. And I want that purebred vampire over there, too."

"By the way, Rabbit. When does the deliberation meeting start?"

"Ah, this..."

"——at about six o'clock in the afternoon."

Just as Black Rabbit was hesitating, Sandra came over with Mandela and other men, and said to Pest with a serious face:

“We need time to select the people who will participate in the negotiations.”
