I, Fujimaru Ritsuka, am back with a max-level character!

This was all his possessions.

While others could not bear the hardship, Roman remained joyful.

"Oh, it's Fujimaru-kun. That's amazing. I've heard Director Mary mention your work on repairing Singularity F."

"How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body? Do you need a medical check-up?"

Dr. Roman's gentle, brotherly care constantly stirred up Fujimaru Ritsuka's tear ducts.

......

The orange-haired man's eyes revealed his concern for his junior.

After a long-awaited reunion, especially at this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka had a lot to say.

"I'll skip the physical exam, but I'm just feeling a bit uneasy."

Don't cry. I'm not the kid I was two years ago.

"I see. I heard the director say that too. After all, you're just an ordinary person, and it's inevitable that you'll experience stress reactions on your first time on the battlefield. Would you like some psychological counseling? If you have any repression, just talk about it."

How could I possibly say something like that out loud?

Gudako gritted her teeth, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms.

"Doctor, if I had a friend..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions once again, and tried to speak in a calm tone. He knew that he would encounter more of his lost comrades in the future, so he could not show any strange emotions.

"My friend is incredibly lazy and good for nothing. He's the kind of loser everyone talks about. All he does every day is slack off and watch live streams. While others are training hard, he's comfortably eating desserts... Logically speaking, isn't that a really bad person?"

Dr. Roman froze for a moment, then suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

[Are you talking about me?]

"Ah...yes, that kind of person is really going too far. How can there be such an irresponsible person in this world...hahaha..."

Roman: I always feel like you're implying something about someone, but I have no proof.

"Yeah, I actually hope he can stay this way forever." Gudako pursed her lips, practically squeezing out the words through clenched teeth.

"Eh... Fujimaru-kun, what happened?"

"Hmph...yes...at a crucial moment. This usually irresponsible, lazy man who loves to slack off sacrificed himself to save me and my companions."

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, her eyes reddened again without her noticing.

"This...this is truly unexpected..."

"I thought I would never see him again."

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her head and looked at Romani Archman; her clear blue eyes seemed capable of shaking one's soul.

......

"But, just recently."

"I saw him again. Although he seems to have no memory of our past togetherness. This is really bothering me. But doctor, what do you think I should do to face him now?"

"Moreover, I don't know what expression to wear when I face him."

Fujimaru Ritsuka lowered her head.

I don't know whether I should put on a happy or sad expression.

Dr. Roman looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and although he had many questions in his mind, he listened carefully to his story.

"A friend who sacrificed himself for me, resurrected and appearing before me again... Shall we have some tea?"

Dr. Roman poured himself a cup of hot tea and then handed one to Fujimaru.

"Oh, thank you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka accepted the warm teacup.

Then the doctor said gently...

"fine."

"I see. May I ask first? Is your friend a follower?"

At that moment, Dr. Roman thought of the Holy Grail War, or some subspecies of the Holy Grail War.

Now that you've entered Chaldea, it's quite normal to encounter Servants from human history.

They will be summoned to different places under different circumstances.

"Well, I guess you could say that~~"

Roman nodded and gripped the sides of the teacup with both hands.

"Just as I thought. Although I don't know why you, as an ordinary person, encountered a Servant before, I can only say that although the person you met seemed exactly the same as before, they might actually be different individuals in their own right."

However... you don't need to worry. They may not remember what happened in the past, but their personalities won't change much.

As long as we become good friends again, it'll be fine. It might not make up for anything, but at least it'll make you feel a little better.

Dr. Roman smiled and comforted her, his voice soft and gentle, just like it had been in the past [now].

Although it requires starting all over again.

But I'm already grateful to God for giving me the chance to start over.

"Should we become partners again?"

"If you say that to me, I'll feel a little better..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed much more relaxed. He stretched his arms forward and leaned back in his chair, groaning as if in great comfort.

Actually, it's about relieving inner pressure.

"It's nothing. If my words can help you resolve your inner conflict, that would be wonderful."

Dr. Roman said with some delight, though he was still a little scared, thinking that the other party knew his true identity and that's why they said that. Now it seems that it must be another Servant he doesn't know.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, then immediately opened the [Yan Kingdom Map].

"Yes, as expected of King Solomon, whose wisdom has been passed down through the ages. His words are indeed insightful. I am also inspired by the Magician King. It's truly incredible."

"Of course, after all, I've seen a lot of human relationships in Chaldea..."

Dr. Roman had just taken a sip of hot tea when he suddenly spat it out.

"Pfft~~~ What...what were you just saying? (ΩДΩ)!"

The doctor suddenly realized that he seemed to have unknowingly fallen into a trap.

This seemingly kind-looking Master No. 48 revealed his true intentions right from the start.

This is like everyone else is learning from Jing Ke and honestly digging out the map, while you just come in and immediately brandish your knife.

Give Dr. Roman a little bit of Gudako shock.

Dr. Roman spat out all the water he had just been holding in his mouth due to shock.

"No way, could it be that Fujimaru-kun, you've become so mentally unstable that you've developed cognitive impairment? If so, then we'll have to conduct a psychiatric evaluation..."

"Dr. Roman—!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted, her forceful aura startling the weak doctor who was trying to cover up his true feelings.

"You utterly irresponsible coward!!!"

"Huh?!"

“I already knew, so it’s no use for you to hide it anymore, Dr. Roman!”

Roman: ...... [awkward]

Fujimaru Ritsuka's insistence on his identity left the Magic King, who had relinquished his Heroic Spirit status, completely bewildered.

This is a secret that only the deceased former director knew, a truth that even the current director, Olga Marie, was unaware of.

The legendary wise king of Israel, a natural-born crowned magician, surprisingly became an unknown doctor.

"After visiting Fuyuki, I remembered that King Solomon, also known as Dr. Roman, and the previous director... Chaldea was founded because they won the Holy Grail War, right?"

"This is the true and accurate history of humanity in 2004. Otherwise, according to the records, the result that 'the victor is Saber' would never have formed a singularity, right?"

"...Really..."

Dr. Roman helplessly rubbed the back of his neck.

How did you find out about all this...?

Because I've already been fooled by you once.

Ritsuka smiled. This boy, who had never been able to smile in the Lostbelt, finally broke into a long-lost, sunny smile.

"That's common sense, my friend."

Friend?...Could it be...!

[Fujimaru Ritsuka was talking about his friend earlier. Could she be referring to me, as a Servant, having met him before?]

He's from Japan, and I also participated in the Holy Grail War in Japan. Masaka... is that when we met? It's not impossible...

It's no wonder that Dr. Roman would think that way.

Completely defeated.

Dr. Roman looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a hint of helplessness.

"Seriously, who are you anyway?!"

"I'm just a passing mask... cough cough, a passing Chaldea Master."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had almost answered the question about death, quickly changed her tune, saying, "But I'm not a suspicious person. At least for now, you can trust me, Dr. Roman."

"Trust? That's going too far, Fujimaru-kun. You're just being suspicious."

"...Although I'm not sure, if the friend you mentioned earlier is me... I can only apologize for not remembering things from the past. You see, I'm just an ordinary human now, and I can no longer meet your expectations."

Dr. Roman smiled wryly and spread his hands.

In terms of strength, that is indeed the case.
