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

Nobunaga was itching to try it: "Alright, then I'll take the liberty of accepting. But I wonder how this Nanban sake compares to the premium sake?"

"Hahahaha, then you'll have to savor it properly," Drake laughed heartily.

Having the Holy Grail is great; even food is unlimited. It truly is an omnipotent wish-granting machine.

Shin is so carefree. Miss Okita was vomiting blood so badly, yet she could still drink without any worries. It seems love can indeed fade away, right?

Fujimaru Ritsuka excitedly prepared to fill the wine glass in front of her.

I remember during the Third Singularity, I drank so much that two Mashus appeared in front of me.

To experience double the joy, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her glass, ready to drink it all in one gulp...

Swish—! Snap—!

A pair of long, beautiful hands snatched the wooden wine glass from Fujimaru's hand.

"Fujimaru."

The boy should have been wearing a very serious face.

The beautiful young girl, the serious and exemplary senior, spoke with an unquestionable voice.

"You are not yet an adult, so drinking alcohol is not allowed."

"Drinking alcohol is bad for your health, especially for a boy like you."

Without giving anyone a chance to argue, they left no room for rebuttal.

"...But senior..."

"There are no 'buts'. Listen to your seniors and your sister."

"No!" Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted double the pleasure, she wanted two Mashu, even if it was just an illusion.

"Listen to me, Fujimaru, listen to me!" Ophelia's gaze turned somewhat unfriendly. "Although you may think this is meddling, it's for your health!"

"Ophelia-san, please don't treat your senior like this. Your senior is in a difficult position too," Mashu said with a slightly mischievous smile, also raising her wine glass.

“Oh right, and Mashu too. Mashu is the same, she’s not in good health and can’t drink.” Ophelia showed no mercy and took Mashu’s cup away as well.

"Eh!?" The girl's smile gradually faded.

"You should consider your own health, after all, there is still a long way to go before the human body is fully restored."

【Hey, it's a long road ahead, how did you know that?!】

Young Flash didn't drink it [the wine was too bad to be worth it], and he quickly and carefully put the golden wine jug in his hand back into the shimmering ripples.

Pepe [laughs]: "Hahahaha, Ophelia gets really serious when it comes to these kinds of issues. There's nothing wrong with occasionally indulging in alcohol, right?"

"Shut up, Pepe. If you care about their health, don't say such irresponsible things."

"Tsk~~"

Kadoc, standing to the side, smacked his lips, watching the spectacle with curiosity, before downing his drink in one gulp.

Then, I felt really dizzy.

"I'm so sleepy... I just can't seem to muster any energy..."

thump-!

Kadoc fell down and collapsed to the ground.

A cup of dried shredded meat?!

"You see, if you don't take care of your health, you'll end up like him."

Pepe [surprised]: "How could this be? I thought... Kadoc's alcohol tolerance would increase after spending so much time with the princess!"

If he were awake, he'd probably say—what a joke! I'm not good at dealing with princesses to begin with, how could I possibly be good at what she's good at!

Interlude: A pure white girl all alone

No one seemed to care about the captain and Debit who were struggling to survive on the deserted island.

Nobody cares about the two of them at all!

A group of people were happily eating and drinking on Pirate Island, completely disregarding the matter of rescuing their companions. This is not only a loss of humanity, but also a moral decay!

Peperoncino, aren't you Debit's good friend? Didn't you help the captain countless times during the simulated attack on the singularity? How come you don't seem to care at all now!

And Ophelia, don't you idolize Kirshtalia?

Shouldn't aristocratic magicians who excel in magic and possess elegance and sophistication be your role models?!

Be more serious!

......

Kadoc, even though the captain always teases you and Pepe always makes fun of you, I know they all admire you!

Hinako Akuta... well, what's it to her?

So let's resolve this singularity as soon as possible and go back!

I can't stay in this place any longer.

----------------

It was once a vast, white snowfield, frozen in ice, where the world had perished.

The planet, unable to bear hope, entrusted its only wish to the little girl.

This is a world where the vow made under the snow has been fulfilled. Here once lived a wicked boy who chose to fight against the entire world simply to bear the fate of a girl.

The partner of justice is truly despairing and chilling.

The world was destroyed by Pandora's Box, which had accumulated two thousand years of calamity, and the entire world was covered in black mud.

Here lives the last girl in the world.

Illyasviel von Einzbern.

This is not the master of the berserker from Fuyuki, but a magical girl chosen by the second magic wand, possessing infinite power of miracles.

[Ilya can definitely do it... she can definitely shatter Darius's ambitions and achieve a happy ending where everyone is reunited!]

However, (Ilya) was not among them.

Is that okay?

......

May I?

In a dark world, the faint light of countless stars is the most precious treasure.

The girl resolutely ventured into the interior of the planet in search of that untouchable treasure.

Well, the answer is actually quite simple.

The tiny white-clad girl transformed into specks of light.

then.

In the darkness, a cute scream echoed, and white spots appeared in the dense forest.

"Ms. Tanaka?! Ms. Tanaka!?"

Ilya frantically grabbed the giant tree beside her that blocked out the sky and looked around cautiously.

"This place can't be 6000 years ago, can it? Can you hear me, Ms. Tanaka?"

Ilya tried to call out to her companions.

But clearly, she failed.

The suppressive force of another world cannot manifest in this world, but Ilya is unaware of this at present.

A long-awaited warm breeze was blowing, and the air was filled with the salty scent of the ocean.

"Where am I...? Shouldn't I have gone back in time? Is this the world 6000 years ago?!"

"But with Ms. Tanaka not around, it's impossible to feel at ease."

Alone and helpless in a world where no one knew her, the girl mustered her courage and took small steps forward.

"In short, we need to find a place where humans live first. No matter what era it is, there must be humans, right?"

"I have to keep going, my intuition has always been right!"

The elementary school student cheered himself up as he walked through the dark forest.

"Speaking of which, these plants are really unique; they're all species I've never seen before!"

To bolster her courage, Ilya talked loudly to herself.

Click——!

The girl seemed to have stepped on some slender cylinder, which then snapped in two.

"N-Nani?!"

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out from the quiet forest, startling the frightened girl into screaming.

Alert Ilya cautiously looked around. The dark was something every child was afraid of, so it was understandable that Ilya, who had just slammed Young Gilgamesh, would be afraid.

Moreover, the ruby ​​wasn't here, so the girl didn't think she had any fighting power.

After a long time.

Hmm~~

A gust of wind blew by.

Nothing happened.

The girl, whose eyes had rolled back in fear, blushed slightly.

Even though no one saw it, I still feel so embarrassed!

A young girl, harboring a grand dream, in this unfamiliar place.
