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

"It's finally time for Ms. Okita to make her appearance again... Hahaha, watch me gracefully chop down my opponent... Ouch!"

The calm sea suddenly jolted violently, causing the adorable swordswoman to tumble comically onto the deck.

"Ouch... Ouch..."

"That idiot Okita has failed miserably again," Kugimiya said in a shrill voice.

"This is also an irresistible force, Okita-san, I'm not the type who's good at naval warfare!"

"Hey, I used to think sailing was supposed to be like 'WakuWaku, DokiDoki,' but after the change of the world, I have absolutely no interest in it!"

"What about the unique characteristics of the different regions of the southern barbarian countries? Honestly... my spirit has been worn down!" Xin lazily stood up, carrying his matchlock gun.

"But I still hate giving up... Let me take this opportunity to make a big splash!"

"Oda army, charge!"

The cool young woman's eyes burned with fury. Facing the opposing warship, she not only did not back down, but instead directly ordered the warship to advance towards it.

"Hey, instead of avoiding them, you're charging straight at them? Aren't you supposed to protect me?" Euryale asked, clinging to Anna.

"Idiot! You little god."

"Huh? Who's this little god... I think you're the idiot more... human."

Xin wasn't angry at all; instead, he became even more cheeky and said it.

"If you ask why, the best defense is offense! Push the enemy forward at full speed... all turrets, aim, and fire!"

"Received! First bombardment, prepare!" Mori Ranmaru brandished his katana after receiving Oda Nobunaga's order.

Although these foot soldiers were still very unfamiliar with naval warfare, they gradually became accustomed to the methods of combat at sea through repeated practice.

The concentrated bombardment created countless large and small waves on the sea surface.

Anne's Revenge Queen

The dark Heroic Spirit, whose face was covered in black mud, whose body was corroded by calamity, and whose very nature as a Servant was corrupted and rewritten, was still sailing on this ship.

To be precise, his consciousness is still intact, but after being immersed in calamity for a long time, he has become like the corrupted Ushiwakamaru of the Seventh Singularity.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others have always had a misconception.

Even Fujimaru, who returned from the future, didn't know that Pandora's Box wasn't a calamity from the Greek era, but rather a "world" that had evolved over 6000 years since the Age of Gods.

Can a divinely crafted weapon of city-level power destroy Pandora's Box?

The answer is actually no.

To destroy the world within Pandora, one would need firepower sufficient to destroy the world itself.

It requires a treasure powerful enough to destroy the world.

Perhaps some exceptional Servants could do it, but that would require an extremely large amount of magical power.

...A fierce cannonball flew over the head of the black-bearded man, whose beard was even blacker than his own. Neither the two female Servants nor Uncle Hector were spared from the wrath beneath the Pandora's Box.

The evil servant's eyes turned blood red, even redder than Nobu's blood-red gem-like eyes.

The Holy Lance Durandal had also lost its luster, covered with blood-red cracks, so vivid they looked like flames from hell.

"No...no way." Upon seeing the figure on the ship, Paris was stunned for a moment, rubbing his golden eyes.

"That figure, could it be...?"

Apollo said somewhat gravely, "It is Hector, Hector corrupted by calamity."

Olga Marie: "Hector, could it be that great hero of the Trojan War... even he was corrupted by the calamity!"

"It's coming, everyone!" Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly shouted, her nerves on edge.

Heavy shells were instantly ejected from the giant cannons of the sailing warship, firing mercilessly at the Honnoji.

The heavy cannonballs pierced the wooden hull of the ship in an instant, and the explosion was so loud that it made people uneasy.

Wood chips and iron filings flew everywhere, generating tremendous destructive and explosive power.

"Senpai, stand behind me... stand behind me, I will protect you!" Mash raised her shield and stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Arigato, Mashu!"

The impact of the explosion nearly caused Fujimaru Ritsuka to stumble and fall to the ground, but he struggled to get up.

"No, senpai. I hope to be of more use. Didn't you say that I'm more reliable than any other Servant?"

"Now is the time to prove this with the lives of our enemies."

No, no, no, no, that's not right!

Mashu!

"Actually, Mashu, I..."

"Shut up, senpai!" Mashu bit her lip, wearing black gauntlets, and gripped the shield tightly, as if it were her own future.

"My life, my strength, the meaning of my existence... all belong to you, my senior!"

"So, yay! Even if my body has problems, even if there's no future... I hope you'll use me without hesitation!"

"I remember everything you said when you made the contract with me in Fuyuki!"

There will always be a day like that.

There will always be a day when a girl's inner turmoil explodes.

If Mash learned to protect from Jeanne d'Arc in the first playthrough, Nero learned resilience, and Drake understood the meaning of life...

Now Mashu's understanding of life is completely the opposite.

She saw hatred in Jeanne Alter, and understood corruption in Nero...

And often, she felt a subtle sense of loss because she wasn't being used, even though she knew that everyone was thinking about her artificial body.

However, she just couldn't accept it.

Ah, that's right. A bunch of annoying female Servants want to steal my Master, my senior.

Those are companions, partners, people with whom one cannot turn against each other.

But my own emotions, these emotions that are bursting forth from the bottom of my heart, are absolutely not fake!

Mashu can become stronger through the power of idealism, but it's not said that her power of idealism is necessarily positive.

Perhaps Mashu was always a stubborn child.

The girl leaped high from the deck, soaring through the air at supersonic speed, carrying immense and heavy force, and slammed her shield directly into the corrupted warship.

boom----!

As it turned out, the Servant's attack was far more effective than cannonballs. The black wood shattered instantly upon being struck by the shield, and the entire deck emitted a cracking sound as it succumbed to the strain. Countless corrupted pirates were instantly scattered into spirit particles.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my—! This is quite an unexpected turn of events for me, an old man like me." Hector scratched his head and smiled as he looked at the shield warrior who had suddenly appeared.

"I'm sorry, but I need to defeat you all here so that you'll look at me with new eyes and value me more!" Mashu apologized, but there wasn't a trace of remorse in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, her shield spun continuously, smashing directly towards the black-clad man wielding a long spear.

"Looks like we can skip the conversation... little girl. But with your abilities... you're not even good enough to defeat me, let alone defeat us."

"Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we fight." Facing the legendary Trojan hero, Mashu showed no hesitation, her actions clearly demonstrating her thoughts.

Ta-ta-kai, touch ta-ta-kai once!

You can't survive without fighting.

Even if you fight, you can't survive.

Even if you survive, you will still die.

My life was originally as plain as a blank sheet of paper. It was the arrival of my seniors that brought different colors to me and to everyone else.

"Drink! Ahh ...

"This strike, this attack... it's all an effort I made so that you would acknowledge me, senior!"

The Shield of the Round Table and the Holy Spear collided, and the violent impact caused the ship to shake and tremble violently.

"What remarkable awareness, young lady. But no matter how much awareness you have, it can't overcome the difference in strength!"

The Trojan warriors, a well-rounded force with no weaknesses, quickly regained control of Mash's offensive rhythm after a brief moment of surprise.

"This isn't just a difference in strength~"

Even though he's turned to the dark side, is he still perfectly conscious?

The golden spear instantly transformed into an indistinct phantom, causing Mashu's slight advantage gained through the surprise attack to vanish without a trace.

"Are you kidding..."

The shield slammed down on Hector, but the latter dodged it as if he had expected it, and then appeared behind Mash.

"A hasty attack will expose a lot of weaknesses. Although I might be taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, I'm the bad guy right now."

Hector's face, blackened and roughened by calamity, still retained that approachable, uncle-like quality, but... upon hearing that voice again, Mash felt a chill run down her spine.

"It's stuck—!"

The shield was deeply embedded in the ship's side, and Hector's holy lance was thrusting towards Mash in that instant. Without a doubt... this was an extremely alarming situation.

The girl decisively abandoned her shield, her body almost instinctively twisting to the side in an attempt to dodge the fatal blow.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a hero of ancient Greece. Such immense strength and exquisite skill, simple attacks without a single superfluous movement... Just how many Ilyas did Achilles have to run over with his chariot to defeat Hector?!

[Speaking of which, I just remembered that Sei Shonagon's misheard phrase "I'm so cute" is absolutely adorable!]

At the critical moment, Mashu chose to dodge, and the thrust of the spear left a thin bloodstain on the girl's fair arm.

"Did you dodge it? Well done, but I'm not going to show you any mercy."

Seeing Mash's reaction, Hector immediately changed his thrust into a sweeping motion, his sharp blade, capable of piercing a hair with a breath, slashing directly at Mash.

......

Mashu, she won't hurt anyone.

Mashu is the purest child in the world, an innocent fairy, a pure white cotton candy that should not be tainted.
