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

"The Three Stages of Ignorance!"

Eric saw the sudden thrust coming at him, a strike that was almost certain to kill, and instinctively raised his shield to block it.

however.

Pointless.

Okita's "Three-Stage Thrust of Ignorance" is a three-stage attack that is conceptually performed from the same position.

The sheer volume of events it generates makes it an undefendable technique.

So, without any suspense, Okita Souji directly shattered Blood Axe's shield and continued to pierce.

The cold blade pierced through the tall Norwegian warrior's body in an instant, splattering Yin Hong's blood.

Immediately following was another merciless horizontal slash.

Blood gushed from Blood Axe King's waist like a fountain.

The shock of being pierced without warning left Eric utterly stunned.

"Miss Okita has won a great victory! With me on the front lines, there's no enemy we can't defeat. That idiot Shin should shut up now."

Blood Axe King's tall body stiffened, as if he could no longer hold on.

“Gooooooo——”

The savage and powerful warrior let out an unintelligible roar before collapsing heavily to the ground.

"Master! I defeated the enemy! I defeated them!"

Ms. Okita, with an expression that seemed to say "Hurry up and praise me," waved to Fujimaru and Nobu in the distance.

"You idiot Okita, you idiot, don't let your guard down!"

"Blood Axe King has combat continuation!"

Not finishing off enemies? Where did you learn this bad habit from?!

"Continue the battle? Could it be—"

They wouldn't die from that level of injury, and might even launch a counterattack before they die...

Immediately afterwards, Ms. Okita felt her calf being gripped tightly by a powerful, beast-like hand.

"Blood...blood...blood!"

Miss Okita suffered a major defeat. Although she was the strongest Servant in the Bakumatsu region, she was of little use at the crucial moment.

How could you do this?! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is Actually—!

Sorry, Master, I was so sure I would win... but Ms. Okita just can't escape the law of "being cool for no more than three seconds".

Miss Okita, who was caught in Eric's dying counterattack, suffered another crushing defeat today.

Eric, now consumed by bloodlust, was like Rosa from hell, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace, determined not to let go of Ms. Okita.

Then there was the bloodthirsty demon axe, which, after absorbing Eric's own blood, also became extremely terrifying.

"My teeth are really white now!"

What a terrible experience.

I might have to leave here... Although I'm very unwilling, I'm entrusting my Master to you, I believe you.

It's incredible. I've only known my Master for a short time, but I feel a sense of familiarity and warmth towards him.

The moment the Blood Axe falls, I will do everything in my power to block it, but that will also cause me unprecedented damage.

However, it did not happen.

The oppressive feeling of the blood axe falling as imagined did not occur. Instead, a piercing gunshot shattered the silence.

boom----!

When they looked again, Blood Axe King was frozen in place.

The bullet pierced through the brain, its brain matter swirling and bursting through the back of the skull.

Then came a voice that was both annoying and reassuring.

"Sorry, times have changed. This arquebus is rifled, so it's definitely better than before."

He casually held a modified matchlock gun in his hand, wisps of smoke rising from its muzzle.

"What a pity, what a pity. If only it had pierced through that idiot Okita along with it."

With a grin, Shin looked at the utterly defeated Ms. Okita without any politeness.

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

Miss Okita represents "honesty" and Miss Oda represents "faith".

I am truly a person of integrity.

Fujimaru Ritsuka skillfully swept away the spirits of the seafaring pirates amidst the crowds.

However, soon, two girls who should have been on Drake's ship, well, Ophelia and Hinako-senpai, suddenly appeared in front of the boy.

Then, they violently attacked these pirates.

Ophelia didn't care that these people were very likely her ancestors, and recklessly bombarded them with magic.

Hinako Akuta was even more brutal, directly cleaving these guys in two from top to bottom with her longsword.

"Ophelia, Hinako-senpai!"

Upon hearing Fujimaru's voice, Ophelia's lips twitched: "What did you call me?"

......

His eyes held a threatening look.

"O...Sister Ao Fei."

Was this infected by Joan of Arc?

Why am I still so hung up on this?

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't understand it, she really couldn't understand it.

"Yes, that's more like it. Remember that next time, Fujimaru."

Ophelia didn't really know how to get close to people, but after seeing Jeanne d'Arc and Jeanne Alter go from being enemies to being "friendly", she learned how to get closer to the companions she wanted to be close to.

"Hi~~ I've got it all, Orpheus... Sister."

I'm not used to it.

"I said, you idiot, why did you give in to this woman so easily!"

"If we're talking about seniors, shouldn't I be your senior first...? It's not like this woman should be calling me 'sister' at all."

Hinako Akuta looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru with some dissatisfaction.

“Then…” Fujimaru was about to speak.

"Stop it. It's not that I don't have any thoughts about you calling me 'sister,' but rather that such thoughts are disgusting... absolutely disgusting... I'm so embarrassed I get goosebumps."

"You can just call me 'Master'."

Fujimaru was shocked. Wasn't this even more outrageous than before?!

"Hey, you two, don't go too far on my ship!" Oda Nobunaga said through gritted teeth, "What do you guys want to do to my retainers?!"

"I've already made a promise with Fujimaru: once I sail the seas, conquer the world, and unify the four seas... I will bestow upon him the most beautiful girl in the land!"

"Wow~~ The most beautiful girl in the world~~ You're not referring to yourself, are you, you big idiot from that wretched place in Owari?" Hinako Akuta narrowed her eyes.

"Is that so? Since you claim to be the most beautiful girl in the world, Miss Oda is quite bold."

Oh dear, have we been found out?

This is so embarrassing.

Why do these two look like they want to devour Nobu alive?

At this moment, you absolutely cannot admit that you are the most beautiful girl in the world, absolutely not.

The letter scanned the room, preparing to find a scapegoat...

Ranmaru... Ranmaru is a cute [girl], that won't do.

Okita... that girl isn't the most beautiful girl in the world!

There's no other way... so, are we just going to have to go all out?

Lord Nobunaga sensed the increasingly intense gazes of the Valkyrie and the elves.

"Hmph, if we're talking about the most beautiful girl in the world... it has to be me..."

"what?"

"Ok?"

Their gazes grew increasingly sharp, like knives.

The little girl took the mint from the white-haired young man and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Kadoc! This mint is so refreshing and delicious!"

Nobunaga had a sudden inspiration, then saw the tiny girl and jokingly said, "My niece—the cutest girl in the world, Chacha!"

Perfect, absolutely perfect!

An awkward silence fell over the room, except for the innocent and adorable Chacha, who, completely unaware of what had happened, raised her hand high: "Hey hey! The cutest girl in the world is Chacha!"

The entire audience was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

"Fujimaru... I never thought you... were like this~~" Kadoc clutched his chest, grinning, whether half-joking or not, it was hard to tell.

"Let's not be friends anymore..."

"Kadocsan! Let me explain, how would I know the most beautiful girl in the world is [Chacha]!"
