Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"Anri-chan, are you okay?"

"It's okay if you don't try to be brave. How about we go to the hospital first?"

Seeing Anri Sonohara suddenly raised her head, she seemed to be in much better condition, but Kida Masaomi and Ryuugamine Teijin were still a little worried.

Facing the concern of her companions, Anri Sonohara smiled and shook her head:

"Thanks for your concern. But it's okay, I'm much better now."

Then, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her and introduced herself politely:

"Um, my name is Sonohara Anri, please give me your guidance."

"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, please give me your guidance."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in response, then smiled and said:

"If you don't mind, we would like to talk to you alone, Anri-san, is that okay?"

Although Anri Sonohara still had many questions in her mind, at least she had roughly understood what the other party wanted to discuss with her, so she nodded and said:

"Of course, as long as it doesn't cause you any trouble."

"Eh?"xn

When these words were spoken, not only her two companions, but also Kadota Kyohei and others were stunned for a moment, feeling both surprised and confused.

From their perspective, Fujimaru Ritsuka just walked over to show some concern for Anri Sonohara, and then made a suspicious request of "wanting to talk alone", and the key point is that the other party actually agreed? !

...Is this really okay?

Ryuugamine Teijin looked at Sonohara Anri worriedly and said:

"Um, Anri-san, are you...really okay?"

Anri Sonohara smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Teito-kun. I know what I'm doing. It's okay."

It was not just Fujimaru Ritsuka's request, she personally also hoped to have a private conversation because she did not want Kida Masaomi and Ryuugamine Teito to know about "Sin Song" and did not want them to be involved.

"That's it..."

Whether it was the abnormal reaction just now or the sudden agreement to the other party's request now, the series of strange behaviors made Anri Sonohara make Kida Masaomi think at the first time, "Is Anri Sonohara being coerced by the other party?"

Therefore, when Ryuugamine Teijin confirmed the situation with Sonohara Anri, he stared closely at the other person's expression, trying to find a clue from it, perhaps a signal for help.

But unfortunately, he couldn't find any evidence to support his guess.

Therefore, he could only sigh helplessly:

"OK then."

"But Teito and I will wait here for you to go back together. Is that okay?"

This sentence is not only said to Anri Sonohara, but also to Ritsuka Fujimaru and Kyohei Kado, and they certainly would not have any objections.

Not only that, Kadota Kyohei also said with a smile:

"We'll be waiting here too."

"Thank you."

Understanding what Kida Masaomi meant, Sonohara Anri thanked him again, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"Well Ms. Ritsuka, there is a cafe over here, let's go there."

"OK, all right."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded in agreement, then left with Sonohara Anri.

Looking at the backs of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others leaving, Kida Masaomi finally couldn't help but ask Kadada Kyohei:

"I say, even if we can't talk about the matter, I don't think we can't even reveal their origins, right?"

"Of course."

The reason why the matter of the man-slashing demon was not mentioned was because I was worried that it would have an impact on the little girl. Of course, there were no restrictions on anything else.

"But that being said,"

Kadota Kyohei spread his hands helplessly and said:

"But in fact, we don't know where those girls came from."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Kida Masaomi said in surprise:

"Then how come you two are together?"

Kadota Kyohei replied:

"It's because of Shizuo. They are all Shizuo's acquaintances, and we just happened to meet them and gave them a ride."

"what,"

Speaking of Heiwajima Shizuo, Kida Masaomi suddenly recalled that it was Heiwajima Shizuo who was having dinner with them at the sushi restaurant that day.

"Not only that!"

Karizawa Eri suddenly poked her head out and said excitedly:

"Did you see that cute girl with short pink hair? She is the master of Heiwajima!"

"……what?"

Masaomi Kida was a little suspicious whether there was something wrong with his ears.

Girl? Heiwajima Shizuo? Master?

real or fake?

...But if it's true, what exactly did they come to see Anri Sonohara about?

-

"that……"

In the cafe, both parties took their seats one by one.

Although she roughly understood the other party's purpose in coming to her, when it came time to be frank and make it public, Anri Sonohara couldn't help but become a little hesitant, not knowing how to start the conversation.

But on the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not hesitate at all and said with a smile:

"Well, I'll get straight to the point then."

"Anri-san, you are the holder of [Sin Song], right?"

So direct? !

Anri Sonohara was startled, and quickly glanced at Mashu and Pest beside her. Seeing that neither of them showed any surprise, she nodded hesitantly and said:

"...Yes. Is there anything I can ask?"

"Is such that."

Fujimaru Ritsuka began to explain that they are now looking for the [Ikebukuro Slasher].

"...And now, we have confirmed that the Ikebukuro Slasher is the owner of Sin Song."

Seeing Anri Sonohara gradually turning pale, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked:

"So, Anri-san, are you the Ikebukuro Slasher?"

"I'm not!"

Anri Sonohara denied it excitedly, and the sudden rise in her voice immediately attracted the attention of other people in the cafe. Noticing this, she immediately lowered her head shyly.

However, when she thought of Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, her expression became a little anxious again, and she didn't know how to explain it.

Observing the other party's reaction, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to ask:

"If it's not Anri-san, does that mean there are other holders of Sin Song?"

"This one……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's calm attitude also made Sonohara Anri gradually calm down, and she said hesitantly:

"I don't know if there are other mother swords, but..."

"Mother knife?"

Seeing the confusion of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, Sonohara Anri explained to them -

[Sin Song] is a self-aware demon sword that will control its holder to injure other people, generate [Son of Sin Song] in the body of the injured person, and then control [Son of Sin Song] to injure other people, giving birth to more [Son of Sin Song].

When [Son of Sin] kills someone and a new [Son of Sin] is generated in the body of the injured person, the new [Son of Sin] will also obey the orders of the [Son of Sin] that created it. However, above this, all [Son of Sin] must obey the orders of [Son of Sin].

Therefore, [Sin Song] is called the mother sword.

And Anri Sonohara is the owner of the mother sword - [Sin Song].

"I see……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others nodded in understanding, and then Mashu said:

"That is to say, the Ikebukuro Slasher may not be the owner of Sin Song, but may also be the owner of Child of Sin Song, right, senior?"

"Yeah. But this is a bit troublesome..."

After all, they didn't know how many members of the "Sin Song Children" there were, and they also had to find their location...

and many more.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly remembered something and smiled at Sonohara Anri:

"Anri-san, you just said that all [Sin Song Children] must obey the orders of [Sin Song], right?"

"In that case, can I ask you for a favor?"
