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

Dr. Roman's hand froze again.

What the hell is this?

"Ah, it's actually very simple. Olga Marie knows that her father summoned Asterius and won the Holy Grail War!"

"When Director Olga Marie was a child, she accidentally wandered into the labyrinth of Asterius, but the gentle servant did not eat her, but instead gave her a map of the labyrinth."

"In the end, Director Olga Marie turned this maze map into a Mystic Code and gave it to me as a gift when she tutored me on Mystic Codes last time."

Romani Archiman, an observer sitting in front of his computer: Who am I? Where am I? What do I want to do?

The director and the doctor exchanged a glance, though they didn't know what the confusion in each other's eyes was.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to them.

Debit, who was crossing his arms, and Hinako Akuta, who was also on her second playthrough: ...Does this guy not even bother to think before he lies?

Kirshtalia seemed to sense something was amiss, but the dual servant beside her didn't seem to have decided to tell him the truth.

"These are basic common sense, my friend."

Gudako brought the tips of his two fingers together to form a stable triangle and said.

Ophelia, sensing something was amiss with her woman's intuition, asked, "Private tutoring... are the director and Fujimaru really that close?!"

Kadoc suddenly realized: So that's how it is! No wonder I didn't see that sixth brother at the simulation device one day; he was cramming on magician knowledge!

If someone who's better than you is also working harder than you, then what's the point of your efforts?

I instantly felt sorry for Kadoc's dark circles under his eyes.

Anyway, very few people have personally experienced that incident, and even if someone does know about it, they wouldn't dare to reveal it easily.

And it makes perfect sense to summon the Minotaur to win the Holy Grail War, right?

Mash: "But I remember the Heroic Spirit who was defeated in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War was Cú Chulainn..."

"That's a special case... You can ask the director if you don't believe me~~"

"Eh...yes, that's right. These are all just my guesses. I wasn't really sure at the time...maybe Rafe knew more, but unfortunately he's dead." Olga Marie quickly took the blame to prevent Fujimaru's secret from being discovered.

"I! I! I! I remember that the old director did seem to have some connection with that...that Asterius...!" Dr. Roman suppressed his confusion and quickly expressed his opinion.

Seeing that the two current bigwigs of Chaldea have chosen sides, no one doubted it anymore... what a load of rubbish!

Why?! Why is this happening?!

Why would the director give Fujimaru Ritsuka private tutoring?

Is he going to marry into the Department of Astrophysics?

Kirshtalia looked at Fujimaru, seemingly scrutinizing something.

Why are you looking at yourself like you're looking at your brother-in-law?!

"This is so boring. If you want to explore the dungeon, go ahead. I don't want to move an inch anymore."

slip away.

I don't want to cause any more trouble.

It seems that this foolish junior was prepared all along... Did he foresee that I would forget this was the past in a moment of impulsiveness?

Fujimaru's eyes seemed to say: Ah, isn't this a mistake that Hinako-senpai should have made a long time ago? I prepared some fabricated excuses from the very beginning.

However, Director Olga Marie... seems to already know the future, as she actually took the initiative to help cover for him.

And Dr. Roman, that idiot junior... will you just watch him die?

Debit still had his arms crossed, glanced at Hinako Akuta... and then closed his eyes again.

However, in his worldview, he must have been watching for a long time.

Silence implies a statement; he probably doesn't intend to go.

"I...I'll go. Is anyone coming with me?" Kadoc gritted his teeth, seemingly having made up his mind.

“I’ll go too, I can keep you company and look out for you.” Fujimaru dusted off his legs, stood up and said.

"Ah... so what about the outcome of my match against that idiot Okita..." Shin said somewhat reluctantly.

There wasn't much to do on the boat, so the two of them got really into playing shogi.

Okita's Katsuma has now completed the Mumei Sandan Charge and is almost at Nobunaga's Tamasho level.

Nobunaga must keep a close eye on things to avoid being checkmated, because the checkmate in shogi will not give any warning.

No one dared to play Chinese chess under Miss Akuta Hinako's nose, mainly because the "Chu River and Han Border" was constantly dancing on a nerve that was already on Akuta Hinako's mind.

Getting angry is a minor matter; if you get so worked up that you explode, it would be terrible if everyone ended up as fish food at the bottom of the sea.

Chess... mainly because Drake didn't bring any of these on his ship.

At that time, chess was not very well-developed, and moves such as rook movement were not yet widely accepted.

After thinking for a moment, Ophelia felt that her magic eye would be useful, so she volunteered.

Pepe Longqi No?

This guy and Ma Si are still on Captain Drake's ship, probably just slacking off.

After all, everyone wants to touch Yu.

Perhaps they are secretly plotting how to deal with Beryl.

In any case, none of these four people seemed to care much about saving humanity.

Today is a wonderful day; everyone is gathered in Chaldea.

Of the eight Masters, four slacked off, and one directly betrayed them.

Everyone should introduce themselves; saving humanity is urgent.

The first Master's identity is somewhat mysterious, like a hero of starlight.

The second Master is a spirit from the Age of Gods, and her interest is Xiang Yu.

The third Master is an outer god from the Dark Realm, and he has some conflicts with humans.

As a result, everyone's eyes turned to me and asked who I was. I said I was—

[A sunny and cheerful young man]

Kadoc cursed under his breath as he looked at this outrageous group of guys, then he, Fujimaru, and Ophelia, along with their Servants, headed into the barrier inside the island.

Chapter 41 Asterius and Euryale

"Mash! Focus!"

"Alright! Look at me carefully, senior!"

Mash used [Shield of Determination] on Gudako.

"It's not for me, it's for the monsters, for the monsters inside the maze!"

"You're in charge of pulling the monsters, not me!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said, grumbling.

"I...I'm sorry, I made a mistake, senior. Let's try again!"

Mash used Target Focus a second time on the monster.

"Senior, they're coming! They're coming! There are so many of them!"

Inside the white maze, all sorts of bloodthirsty monsters swarmed forward, instantly resembling a swarm of rats—disgusting and repulsive.

"It's okay, Mashu!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled slightly. This was still a minor incident, after all...

"We've teamed up with some really great teammates!"

Kadoc: "Princess, freeze those guys."

"At this level, there's absolutely no need to use Dimensional magic."

A flash of blue appeared in the eyes of the white-haired ice girl, and then frost, as cold as winter, froze everyone opposite her into ice blocks.

"Saber, it's up to you now!" Ophelia looked at the incredibly strong swordsman beside her and nodded.

"Leave it to me, Master. I will live up to your expectations."

The handsome swordsman wearing glasses wielded the demonic sword Gram, which gleamed with a destructive light. In an instant, his magic swept across the area, turning the monster in front of him, which had been frozen into ice, into shattered fragments.

"Saga the First! The great hero of the Norse kingdom of Sasaga." Fujimaru Ritsuka still clearly remembered the warrior's brief but powerful and handsome figure in the Lostbelt.

"I am deeply grateful for your praise." The man nodded gently and with a smile to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Oh, right... I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, judging from your voice—do you play cards, Sigurd?"

"Playing cards... Why do you say that?!" Sigurd was taken aback.

"The one who's been relentlessly fighting against a nameless pharaoh who uses dark magic, the one who commands the Blue-Eyes White Dragon..."

[A certain Dark Ignis, acting as an AI, inexplicably felt a surge of anger.]

The dragon-slaying warrior was completely baffled.

He didn't quite understand why Fujimaru Ritsuka would associate him with Egypt.

Until one day in the future, while watching anime in Chaldea, he saw [YUGIOH].

Soon after.

Shigoku with the Devil Driver [toy]...

The invincible White Marriage and Brunhilde almost caused another tragic legend to unfold in Gari.

Brunhilde, clutching a Blue-Eyes White Dragon card, asked Sigour with an icy expression, "Do you want it or me? Look at what you've been doing... You still haven't said 'treasure' to me..."

"Don't touch my precious card! My pride, my soul... those pure white and beautiful wings..."

"Noble Phantasm Unleashed! [To the point of death, separating the two]!"
