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

"I feel like you're thinking about something bad, or maybe it's about me... I advise you to put away those disgusting thoughts."

A hot-tempered girl with twin ponytails stared intently through her glasses.

Pshaw, are women's intuitions always that accurate?

Thinking about the hundreds of servants in my kingdom, including many female Servants, and the scenes of them outwitting and fighting, it's really a headache.

There are those who secretly lurk under the bed, those who have been hoping for my death, those who treat me like their son... and recently, an old hag called me "Grandpa Onii-chan" has also appeared.

You might ask why there are so many Heroic Spirits?

Just kidding, back in the day I could get three rare orchids in a single 10-pull, how could you unlucky folks compare?

Even the fox-killing technique was summoned using a talisman.

"Don't get distracted! Junior, we're on the battlefield. One wrong move and you'll be torn to pieces. Stay focused!"

An angry voice rang out, startling Fujimaru Ritsuka and pulling him out of his reverie.

Chaldea's communications were also suddenly re-established at this time.

"Can you hear that? There's a peculiar Spirit Origin reaction over there... It's probably a Servant from that era's Holy Grail War. Don't just stand there, get into battle mode immediately!"

Olga Marie urged from the screen, "You've already done virtual practice, haven't you? I don't need to explain the battle methods again... Fujimaru, Servant battles are no child's play, you need to be more careful and serious... You can't just be careless and doze off like before!"

"Is the director showing concern for me?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka seems to really enjoy being scolded by the director.

"Isn't that obvious?"

The director said somewhat awkwardly, her gaze shifting slightly elsewhere, "Right now, only the two of you can solve the problem at Singularity F."

Then, through the virtual screen, Olga Marie glanced at Hinako Akuta and continued, "As an outstanding member of Group A, although Chaldea can't provide you with effective support right now, I'll leave that newbie in your care, okay? Don't cause any trouble!"

.....

Hinako Akuta raised her eyelids, seemingly quite impatient: "Why me of all people?"

"Don't ask me why, I'm very busy restoring the equipment here! Besides, you're the only one who's recovered first, aren't you!"

"Oh."

He verbally agreed, but inside he seemed even more agitated.

[Ugh, why did this newbie have to follow me?!]

Having a good constitution has its downsides, too. Because I was the first one to wake up, I ended up in this singularity by some twist of fate... It's really annoying.

I'm about to explode!

Old Jie felt an urge to explode.

But at this moment.

Are you coming?

Hinako Akuta had no intention of making a move.

Because Mash's shield had already been deployed.

Zzzzz!

The sound of a sharp metal sword cutting through the air instantly instilled a strong sense of crisis.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes narrowed, and she instantly guessed what was going on.

"Hostile reaction! Identified as Servants, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash Kyrielight, prepare for battle!" Olga Marie hurriedly shouted.

As Olga's voice faded, Mash struggled to raise her shield.

"Understood! Mash Kyrielight, ready! Senpai, I'll leave the instructions to you!"

"I understand! I'm counting on you for the battle, Mash!"

The two exchanged a glance, as if they were longtime partners.

Hinako was still somewhat surprised. She hadn't sensed any strong aura from the two of them, but what was going on with this smooth and effortless feeling of entering battle?

In total, these two people only met for two days!

If we're talking about who in the entire Chaldea can work best with Ritsuka Fujimaru, then it's probably the only one.

Although the former no longer remembers the many adventures that followed in the next two years, the bond that had grown in their hearts was not so easily severed.

The sound of something tearing through the air rang out, and in the blink of an eye, purple chains coiled around like venomous snakes. It was a vicious Poison Dragon Drill, a high-speed scythe, aimed directly at Mash's face.

"So fast!"

Mashu was startled, but her body had already started moving. Her soft flesh was no longer weak; it was as solid as a steel chariot.

"But we must fight!"

Mash Kyrielight, I absolutely cannot let my senior down!

Block it!

The echoes of shields and scythes clashing still lingered in the empty streets.

In that instant, Mashu reacted and quickly took countermeasures.

It was as if this body, this spiritual foundation, had been operating in this way for a very long time.

"Oh, truly remarkable, to have withstood a deadly attack from the shadows. It seems I truly underestimated you."

From the shadows, a hooded scythe-wielding Servant emerged silently, his dark yellow pupils like those of a viper, staring down at the Chaldea group.

It's you, the ever-unable-to-land reverse-class Medusa!

My Anna is a hundred times cuter than you!

"Hey! You're the Master, aren't you?"

Seemingly sensing Fujimaru Ritsuka's malice and stubbornness, Medusa [Lancer] narrowed her snake eyes and grinned wickedly.

Then, as if in a show of defiance, she gently stroked a black stone doll beside her.

Humans, those are humans!

Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted his teeth, even though he had experienced something similar in the past.

"You know what? This guy's eyes... were even more repulsive than yours, but his reaction before he died..."

"Hey Hey....."

"That was a truly melodious wail."

As she spoke, she mercilessly—click—

Break the neck of the seaweed-headed doll.

The crimson blood gushed forth like a fountain, the towering jet of blood proving that this creature was originally a living human being.

The Second Master has made his appearance!

Second Master is gone!

My dear Second Master, you died such a tragic death!

Such a bloody scene is terrifying to watch, no matter how many times you look at it. But Fujimaru Ritsuka is no longer the naive newbie she once was.

His resolute gaze showed no sign of wavering.

"Fight with all your might, Mash!"

"learn!"

Medusa did not intimidate Fujimaru Ritsuka; on the contrary, this move strengthened his fighting spirit.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is never any hope.

The two, master and servant, are the best partners in the world.

Mash, shield in hand, charged fearlessly toward the Shadow Servant.

It's not that she was reckless, but the warm current flowing into her body gave her strength, and with that strength, the girl charged forward with her shield raised.

But didn't the Shield Warrior charge in the wrong way?

In the Avengers, Captain America fights in the same way.

But... what?

Do you also want a chokehold robot?

Hinako Akuta rolled her eyes.

Here, Mashu made a powerful charge, which, while possessing great strength, also generated a considerable burst of speed in an instant.

but.

Unsurprisingly, she missed her target.

The agile Medusa, wielding a blade that can kill the undead, has a bloodthirsty gaze that is utterly terrifying.

"Hmph, how naive! You think you can hit me with this kind of speed? You're really arrogant, little girl."

The Lancer Medusa sneered and lightly tapped the ground with her toes.

Light as a bird, it leaped high into the air and landed gently on the iron net made of chains.

Hinako looked around. The place was like a spider web, sealed off by a dense array of chains.

"This guy, he sealed off this whole area with broken chains? It's really annoying."

You really think I'm your prey, don't you?

If it weren't for the fear of having your identity exposed, you'd be nothing more than a mere shadow follower.

However, although he's just a shadow follower, he's a junior...

Hinako couldn't help but glance at Ritsuka Fujimaru.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, the "third party" who had maxed out the bonds between Yu Ji and Xiang Yu, smiled slightly upon seeing Akuta Hinako's gaze, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, senpai. Mashu and I will definitely win!"

"Where do you get your confidence from?! And... you've got it wrong, I'm not worried about you guys, I'm just afraid you'll embarrass Chaldea."
