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

It hurts people.

It's heartbreaking.

“Senior, Ophelia, she…” Mashu felt a pang of pity.

"Sigh—there's nothing I can do, I'm just too kind-hearted." Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head with a wry smile and walked forward.

Ophelia was secretly delighted.

Good junior, good brother.

It wasn't all for nothing, really, the bonds we built weren't for nothing.

It seemed as if light emanated from Ophelia's blue aura.

"I knew it, Fujimaru is definitely the one I can rely on..."

This is the rescue! This is the rescue!

As the boy walked towards her step by step, Ophelia felt a strange sense of joy.

The boy approached Ophelia and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Ophelia."

"Don't worry, I'll help you."

His gentle tone and sunny, handsome appearance naturally made Ophelia lower her guard.

Immediately afterwards, Fujimaru walked up behind Ophelia.

suddenly!

Sneak attack!

With lightning speed, he grabbed Ophelia's arms!

"Fuji...Fujimaru?!"

Ophelia was horrified. Suddenly, her body was controlled by Fujimaru. She was both ashamed and angry, and her heart was filled with terror.

Immediately following, Fujimaru Ritsuka's next words opened the final door.

"I've got Ophelia under control! Mash, Captain Drake, it's an emergency, let's just force-feed her!"

Ophelia: ?? ? o ? ?!

Fujimaru has ruined me!

I didn't expect they came to help Drake instead of me!

"Well, in order to gain Captain Drake's help... I'm sorry, we have to sacrifice Ophelia!"

"Although I don't want to do this either, Miss Ophelia, please drink this cup to the brim!"

Mashu picked up her wine glass from the table and said with a compassionate expression.

"Please drink this cup of wine, and then travel in peace!"

Ophelia: ?!

How did it become a death sentence?

Interlude (Final): Ophelia Takes the Initiative!

The entire glass of rum was downed.

That's rum with an alcohol content of several tens of degrees.

Although it tastes sweet, it's really potent.

After downing the cup, Ophelia's face was flushed, her expression blank, but her eyes were bright.

Fujimaru, Mash, and even Drake hadn't expected this.

Their actions are awakening a sleeping beast, a raging flood slumbering within the closed heart of a young girl.

When a person has been suppressed and repressed for a long time, and their heart is suddenly opened, something incredible will happen.

In that very instant.

Something completely unexpected happened.

The well-behaved and quiet girl, the moment she touched alcohol, seemed to awaken the wild DNA hidden within her body.

That's right, Ophelia is a genuine German. This group of people may have been descended from Germanic peoples, Vikings... a fierce race. Although they are now civilized and progressive... their tradition of loving alcohol has not disappeared.

After all, Germany is still known as the land of beer and has its own beer festival.

Ophelia's face suddenly turned rosy, and her blue pupils sparkled.

What does it feel like?

It felt tingly and numb, as if a faint electric current was passing through my body.

How long has it been since I felt this way?

demon.

Encountering the sixth fictional element... is the tragic wish of the Famsolone family.

From the moment she was born, Ophelia bore the mark of her family.

The inescapable curse comes from the Magician.

Most people would naturally keep their distance from demons, saying they would avoid them at all costs, but Famsolone couldn't wait for the magician in his family to be possessed by a demon.

Even setting aside the fact that true demons with physical forms already exist, the mere thought of coming into contact with a "false" demon would be ecstatic.

A family of madmen.

Growing up in such a family, it's a stroke of luck that Ophelia didn't turn into a twisted madwoman.

There are always times when people do things they never dared to imagine before.

There are always times when we break through our own perceptions and our lives are turned upside down.

“Ophelia~~” Mashu looked at Ophelia with some surprise.

"Go aside."

He forcefully broke free of her arms, snatched Mashu's wine glass, and pushed the bewildered girl aside.

"You guys, one by one, you all look down on me, don't you?!"

"No, Ophelia-san... my senior and I were just—" Seeing Ophelia's sudden change, Mash hurriedly explained.

"Enough! I won't be afraid. I won't, I won't stop moving forward!"

"If Mashu could do it, could take the first step in her life... then I definitely... I absolutely can do it too!"

The quiet girl seemed to become much more active under the influence of alcohol.

"Fujimaru, pour me some sake, for your sister!"

Ophelia snorted and gave an order to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Huh?!" Fujimaru looked at Ophelia blankly.

"Hurry up! Didn't you hear me? This kind of thing doesn't even need thinking, right? Or are you an idiot?!"

The senior's gaze was unsettling.

[Oh no, the top student has become the school bully!]

"Alright, alright! I'm an idiot—" Ophelia's sudden change startled Gudako. "I'll fill your cup right now!"

"Again!" He downed it in one gulp.

"Yes Yes!"

"おかわり——!"

"Do you... want more?"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Ophelia glared at her fiercely.

Fujimaru's body took the initiative to serve Ophelia-senpai wholeheartedly.

Hinako frowned, feeling a strange sense of unease, as if a useful tool or a fun toy had been taken away by someone else.

Ophelia found an open space and sat down.

"Mash, give me a shoulder massage!" Ophelia commanded, just like a queen.

"Hello! O...Ophelia!" Mashu said, sounding aggrieved. Then she came up behind the brown-haired girl and carefully massaged Ophelia's shoulders.

"Go easy, you're using too much force."

"I'm...sorry, I'll be more careful."

"Mashu is so good."

Ophelia looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, whose glass was full of wine, and a smile appeared on her lips, as if she was enjoying herself immensely.

Does she seem to be born to be a queen?

But I insist on being a simp~~~~

Why would someone as outstanding and beautiful as her have to be someone else's lapdog? So many people are already swooning over her!

"Gulu."

Ophelia swallowed the ethanol beverage in her mouth with a slight thud.

"Come here, my lovely junior, let me pamper you a bit!"

Like a boss, she suddenly grabbed Gudako's neck while Fujimaru Ritsuka was pouring sake.

Ophelia, who had been drinking heavily, finally started to let loose.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled as she felt the world spinning around her.

Is this the type of person who is usually introverted, but whose personality changes drastically once they get some alcohol?

“S-Senpai! Ophelia, Senpai she…” Mashu watched Gudako being subdued in an instant, and panicked like a frightened deer.
