Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"Renhua, Mr. Fukami, long time no see!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka greeted the two of them with a smile.

In fact, Fukami Natsuhiko can be considered a quiet, somewhat handsome man, but he pales in comparison when standing next to Renhua. He looks really ordinary, which makes Renhua next to him look even more adorable.

"Ms. Ritsuka, long time no see."

Fukami Natsuhiko responded somewhat stiffly. After all, he was not really familiar with the other party, but there was no doubt that the other party was his and Lianhua's benefactor, and Lianhua had another special relationship with the other party.

"Ritsuka-sama."

Renka bowed slightly to Fujimaru Ritsuka respectfully.

In fact, although she worked hard every day, she still didn't know whether she should be called the god of death? The escort of the underworld? Or something else...

But what is certain is that she is now a formal employee of the underworld, and Fujimaru Ritsuka is not only her benefactor, but also her immediate superior - the master of the underworld.

At the same time, seeing that the two people who appeared in front of her were normal, Mao Lilan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, then rolled her eyes at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said in a resentful tone:

"Really? Stop scaring me like that!"

"Uh huh, I'm not kidding."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Renka, who looked a little confused, and said with a smile:

"She just doesn't seem to quite believe you're a ghost."

"Oh, is that so?"

Lianhua raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. She observed the interaction between the two and soon understood what was going on. Then she smiled slyly and said:

"It seems that I have to prove myself a little bit."

"Eh?"

After hearing the other party's speech, Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Then she saw the other party walking towards her slowly.

"that……?"

Seeing Lianhua's figure getting closer and closer to her, with no sign of slowing down, as if he was about to come right up to her, Mao Lilan subconsciously took a step back, but there was no way to stop him from getting closer, and then -

The other person passed right through her body.

"——?!!"

The moment the lotus pierced her body, Mao Lilan felt her hands and feet cold, her hair stood on end, and her whole body froze in place.

The next moment, I heard the other party's chuckle coming from behind:

"Are you willing to believe this?"

"Or, you would rather experience some more traditional projects, such as ghost wall, face-to-face, etc...."

"No no no no no no no!"

Just hearing the other party's words, Mao Lilan couldn't help but shudder. She quickly turned around, waving her hands frantically and stammering as she tried to refuse.

However, although she had just experienced a supernatural event, perhaps because the other person looked too cute, completely different from the various scary ghosts in her impression, she did not feel that scared when she looked at the other person again.

In other words, knowing that ghosts and spirits do exist in the world actually made her even more scared.

In addition to Mao Lilan, the others around also reacted differently. Celty was a little scared, but also a little excited, and grabbed Kishitani Shinra's arm and said:

“It’s really a ghost! Silla, look!”

"It turns out that ghosts really do exist in this world!"

Kishitani Silla smiled and said:

"Celti, don't you think that since the Dullahan exists, it wouldn't be a big deal even if there really are ghosts?"

"How can this be the same!? That's a ghost!"

"……All right."

He could only compromise with a smile. Anyway, he didn't care about the headless knight and the ghost. The only thing he cared about was the existence of Celti.

In short, everyone went into the house to rest first, and Haibara Ai, who was originally a guest, took the initiative to lead the way for others, as if she was a member of this family.

Of course, this is actually true.

……

"Ms. Ritsuka! Ms. Mashu!"

After a while, Amano Haruna appeared in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others with a little boy. With a sunny smile on her face, she waved and greeted the two of them with full energy and walked towards them.

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile:

"Long time no see, Haruna."

"Well, long time no see!"

Amano Haruna said happily:

"I came to visit you once before, but I didn't expect you, Ms. Ritsuka, weren't here... By the way, he's my younger brother, Nagi Amano, and he's been clamoring to see you guys!"

"Oh?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the little boy next to her curiously. He seemed to be an elementary school student, but a little older than Conan and the others. He had short hair that reached his ears and looked very delicate. He was obviously a popular handsome boy.

Amano Nagi pursed her lips nervously, then bowed solemnly with a serious look on her face and said:

"Thank you for saving my sister and helping us! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome."

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka waved his hand and said with a teasing smile:

"Besides, your sister is my miko now. How could I let my people suffer?"

Amano Haruna also clasped her hands together half seriously and half jokingly, and bowed to Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"That's right. Thanks to Ritsuka-sama's blessing, we can now live happily and peacefully. I'm so grateful!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka took the opportunity to joke with a sense of wickedness:

"Why do I feel like you're a little disrespectful? I'll just punish you by making you bow a hundred times."

"Eh--"

"…Um, Ms. Ritsuka…?"

Just then, a hesitant voice was heard. Anri Sonohara was standing at the door, watching them bowing and worshiping cautiously. She looked very confused and hesitated whether she should go in.

So the two sides stopped playing awkwardly, and Fujimaru Ritsuka pretended nothing happened and came in front of her, smiling and greeting her:

"You're here Anri, good morning!"

"Well, good morning."

Anri Sonohara didn't ask any more questions. She just smiled shyly again and nodded in response.

Unlike the people who came in groups before her, Anri Sonohara came alone. However, apart from being somewhat curious about other alien beings like her, she came to the party just to play with Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu. As for whether she could make friends with other people, she did not have any extra expectations.

however--

"Excuse me, are you a middle school student?"

Looking at the student uniform on Anri Sonohara, Amano Haruna came over curiously and asked with a smile.

"that……"

Anri Sonohara shook her head awkwardly and said:

"No, I'm a freshman in high school."

"Sure enough, we are about the same age!"

Amano Haruna smiled and introduced herself:

"My name is Amano Haruna, and I'm in the third grade of junior high school. This is my younger brother Amano Nagi, who is in the fourth grade of elementary school. Nice to meet you."

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

After getting to know each other, Amano Haruna said happily:

"I didn't expect to meet girls of similar age right away. That's great! I thought it might be a little awkward if all the people here were adults. Right?"

"Um……"

Although she was forced to make friends, Anri Sonohara happened to have a friend with a similar personality. Feeling the familiar atmosphere, she felt a little relieved and smiled and nodded in response to the other party.

Seeing Amano Haruna becoming much more cheerful and Sonohara Anri making friends instantly, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu couldn't help but smile at each other.
