Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Ritsuka Fujimaru didn't expect that the process of Pest being summoned to the small garden would be so tortuous.

At the same time, after finishing his meal, Fujimaru Ritsuka wiped his mouth and asked curiously:

"Then who restarted the summoning ceremony this time and summoned you to the small garden?"

"this time……"

Faced with this question, Pest paused, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he did not answer immediately.

No matter what, the other party had summoned her to the small garden, and she was once a member of it. If possible, she didn't want to sell out the other party's information.

but……

Various ideas emerged in her mind one after another. After pondering for a while, she finally came up with a plan that would satisfy both parties. She looked up at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"I can tell you the other party's intelligence, but I hope you can agree to one condition of mine."

"What conditions?"

"It's simple. Unless you come into contact with them one day and a conflict arises, I hope you won't tell anyone else about their intelligence."

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I promise you."

Hearing this, Pest secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, considering that she and Fujimaru Ritsuka can occasionally dream about each other's past, even if she doesn't say it now, the other party will probably dream about it sooner or later, right?

Her proactive notification only brought the time forward.

She felt that she had done her best for her former employer by being able to do this in exchange for such a small price.

So, Pest, relieved of her psychological burden, began to continue her story.

"Actually, regarding the group of people who summoned me to the Little Garden, I don't know much about them, nor do I know what their purpose is in gathering together."

When Pest mentioned the other party's intelligence, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"But what is certain is that the other party is the same as the [Fantasy Magic Book Group] in the past. It is a powerful and mysterious Demon King Alliance. Its name is - [Ouroboros]."

"The community I led before, [Grimm Gimoire.Hameln], is also a member of it."

"Moreover, this attack on the Fire Dragon Birth Festival was an action planned jointly by other members of the Demon King Alliance and us."

"Eh?"

After hearing the unexpected information, Fujimaru Ritsuka slightly widened his eyes in surprise, and then asked hurriedly:

"What is their purpose?"

Pest replied:

"They asked me to hand over the Star Sea Dragon King's horn to them after the operation was successful. I don't know anything else."

"The horn of the Star Sea Dragon King?"

All that Fujimaru Ritsuka knew about the Star Sea Dragon King was that he was the ancestor of Sandra and her family, and that he was a powerful pure-blooded dragon.

The horn of the Star Sea Dragon King is not only a powerful gift to Salamandra, but also a proof of the leader of the community. It is now held by Sandra.

So, the other party simply wanted such a powerful gift as a reward? Or did he have another purpose?

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know.

But for some reason, this mysterious Demon King Alliance suddenly reminded her of the Demon King organization that Sun Wukong mentioned, which was secretly operating in the box garden and was now being investigated by Shiroyasha and Holmes.

I wonder if there is any connection between the two?

There was too little information about the Demon Alliance [Ouroboros], and no matter how much he thought about it, it was useless. In addition, due to the agreement with Pest, he could not tell this matter to others for the time being. Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally gave up thinking about it and just kept the name in his mind for the time being.

Today was the first day back from the festival, and everyone had not yet completely gotten over the festive atmosphere. Black Rabbit seemed to have realized this, and did not immediately accept the Gift Game for them as he had done in the past, but instead let them rest for another day.

But Black Rabbit himself didn't seem to have any plans to rest, and was said to have gone out to work early in the morning.

So, after finishing breakfast, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Pest left the room together.

Pest is not only Fujimaru Ritsuka's exclusive maid, but also joined the maid team. Now she works under Leticia and will report to Leticia next.

Fujimaru Ritsuka came to the farmland area outside alone and soon found Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yō, who were helping in the farmland.

"Good morning, everyone!"

"Ritsuka, good morning."

"morning."

"Good morning, Ritsuka-sama!"

Lily from the older group is also here, and there are two new companions on the farm - the giant soldier Dean and the elf Mel.

Dean has great strength and a body shape that can be changed freely. He is an expert at carrying things and turning the soil. He works hard under the command of Jiuyuan Feiniao.

The elf Mel is in "The Pioneer of Hamel". He inherited the tradition of "Pioneer Theory" and possesses the spirit of "Pioneer", which can increase the nutrients in the soil.

The two's outstanding performance instantly won the love and admiration of the children.

"correct,"

After saying hello, Kuon Asuka seemed to remember something and said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Brother Ren seems to want to discuss something with you. If you are free now, go meet him first."

"Ren?"

Although he was a little confused, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and said with a smile:

"I see. It just so happens that I have something I want to tell him about."

As for where Jin was, needless to say, Fujimaru Ritsuka came all the way to the underground library and as soon as he entered the door, he found the figures of Izayoi Sakamaki and Jin.

"Good morning, Izayoi, Jin."

Fujimaru Ritsuka teased:

"Isn't it a bit too scary to work so hard so early in the morning?"

"Good morning, Ms. Ritsuka."

The two looked up, Ren responded politely, and Izayoi Sakamaki said with a smile:

"I can't help it. Your famous detective puts too much pressure on me. He solved a puzzle of that difficulty in an instant. It made me so nervous that I could only study harder to relieve the pressure."

"It was Sherlock Holmes, after all."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled helplessly:

"And it's better to say that you are asking too much of yourself, right?"

"Perhaps it is so."

Izayoi Sakamaki shrugged and did not comment. Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Jin and said:

"I heard you were looking for me, is there something wrong?"

"Ah, yes!"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka mentioned the serious matter, Ren suddenly became a little nervous and said:

"Well, actually, I've heard about the general situation between Ms. Ritsuka and Chaldea, and I wanted to talk to you about this today."

"This..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his cheek, and on the other side, Ren's nervousness gradually eased after he spoke. He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and smiled:

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, everyone has seen your help to the community. The children like you very much. Everyone, including me, hopes that you can stay."

"However, since you have to withdraw from [No Name] for that reason, I'm afraid all I can do is support your decision."

Hearing him say this, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"Thank you for understanding."

"No, I should thank you."

Ren showed a somewhat flattered expression, then calmed down and continued:

"But actually, I want to talk about something else——"

"If you, Ms. Ritsuka, establish a community in the future, I hope that [No Name] can form an alliance with your community."

Come spicy!

I seem to be a bit of a jerk lately (lying down)
