Ophelia

Um can I talk to you.

They all turned there head to see Ophelia, as she was looking at Ritsuka as she has a blush, next to Ophelia was her shadow servant it has Two sword that look like dagger's that have become sword which looks like it is made out of crystal, it has a cafe wirh a armour around his body, jusy Like Kadoc Ophelia also got a high rank shadow Servants, as then Ritsuka saw the system.

[ Will here we go again with another girl ].

Ritsuka was really trying to not sigh, because only him, Morgan and Kama can see the system and everyone else watchung will be confused.

Ritsuka managed to suppress a sigh, though his inner thoughts echoed with the system's cheeky remark. He glanced at Ophelia, taking in the slight blush on her cheeks and the poised yet cautious stance of her high-ranking Shadow Servant beside her. The crystalline swords and the armored figure were impressive, clearly showing the Shadow Servant's strength and elegance.

"Of course, Ophelia," Ritsuka said, keeping his tone friendly. "What's on your mind?"

Ophelia hesitated for a moment, her gaze flickering between Ritsuka and Morgan before she finally spoke. "I wanted to talk to you about… something important. It's related to our missions, but also about… us, I suppose."

The slight pause before she said "us" wasn't lost on Ritsuka, but he kept his expression neutral, nodding for her to continue. Meanwhile, the system's quip about another girl didn't help his effort to stay composed.

"I've been thinking about what it means to be a Master in Chaldea," Ophelia continued, her voice soft but earnest. "And how our roles—our relationships—affect our success. I've seen how close you are with your Servants, and how it seems to bring out the best in them. It's… inspiring."

Morgan watched Ophelia carefully, her presence commanding yet calm, while Kama hovered with a knowing smile, as if already guessing where this conversation might lead.

Ophelia's blush deepened as she gathered her thoughts. "I want to know… if it's possible for us to work closer together. Not just as comrades, but… more than that. I've noticed how everyone, not just your Servants, seems drawn to you, and I think it's because you have this way of making everyone feel valued. I want to be part of that, to contribute to it."

Ritsuka felt a mix of emotions—surprise, a bit of awkwardness, and a hint of flattery. Before he could respond, the system chimed in again, this time with a bit more sass.

[ Oh boy, another one. You're becoming quite the heartthrob, aren't you? Maybe we should start keeping a tally. ]

Ritsuka mentally rolled his eyes at the system's comment, but outwardly, he smiled gently at Ophelia. "I'm honored that you think that way, Ophelia. I've always believed that our strength lies in how well we can trust and rely on each other. If you want to work more closely, I'd be more than happy to."

Ophelia's eyes lit up at his words, and she gave a small, relieved smile. "Thank you, Ritsuka. I'll do my best to support you and everyone else in Chaldea. And… if there's anything more I can do, please let me know."

Ritsuka nodded, appreciating her sincerity. "Of course. We're all in this together, and the closer we work, the better we'll be prepared for whatever challenges come our way."

As Ophelia's smile grew, Ritsuka noticed a glimmer of something more in her eyes—something that hinted at deeper feelings. But before he could dwell on it, Kadoc cleared his throat, bringing the focus back to the room.

"Seems like we're all getting a little more… connected these days," Kadoc remarked, his tone light but with an edge of curiosity. "Maybe that's what we need, though. To make sure we're all on the same page, especially with how tough things are getting."

Ritsuka nodded in agreement, the weight of his responsibilities pressing on his mind. "Yeah, we do. Let's keep working together, no matter what. We'll figure things out, one step at a time."

Ophelia gave him a final nod of agreement before stepping back, allowing the conversation to flow naturally again. The room settled back into its usual dynamic, but the undertones of growing bonds and shifting relationships lingered in the air, leaving Ritsuka with much to think about.

Kadoc then got um. "Now if you don't mind, I will be going"

Kadoc then grabbed Ophelia hand and dragged as they were followed by there shadow servant, as he dragged her to the one of the many storage room of Chalde as he pinned her to the wall, Ophelia blush looking at hee teammate

Ophelia looked at Kadoc. "I don't like Kadoc, please I hope we can stay friends"

Kadoc just looked confused. "That is not why I brought you here"

Ophelia blinked and looked at him. "Really I thought you liked liked me, especially after you dragged after we talked too Ritsuka"

Kadoc sighed, rubbing the back of his neck as he tried to make sense of Ophelia's flustered response. "Ophelia, I'm not here to talk about who likes who. I'm here because we need to be clear on what we're doing moving forward."

Ophelia blinked, her blush fading as she realized Kadoc wasn't acting out of some hidden romantic motive. "Oh… then what is it?"

Kadoc released his hold on her hand, stepping back to give her some space. "It's about Ritsuka and the way things are changing in Chaldea. You saw how everyone was reacting, right? Masters without proper Servants, the tension between different factions... We can't afford to be distracted right now, especially with all the weird stuff happening."

Ophelia nodded, finally understanding. "You're worried that the situation with Ritsuka could lead to more division, or even conflict."

"Exactly," Kadoc replied, his expression serious. "Ritsuka's in a unique position, but that also means he's under a lot of pressure. And it's not just him; it affects all of us. If we're going to keep Chaldea together, we need to be focused on our mission, not getting caught up in whatever else is going on."

Ophelia looked down, considering his words. "I see your point. I… I was just confused about my own feelings, I guess. But you're right; we need to stay focused."

Kadoc gave her a small nod, his tone softening slightly. "I'm not saying you can't have feelings, Ophelia. But we have to be smart about this. We can't let our personal issues cloud our judgment. We're all on the same team here."

Ophelia looked up at him, her resolve strengthening. "You're right. I'll do my best to keep things professional and not let my feelings interfere."

"Good," Kadoc said, finally relaxing a bit. "We're in this together, after all. We have to stay strong."

With that, Kadoc turned to leave the storage room, pausing for a moment to make sure Ophelia was okay. She gave him a reassuring nod, and he returned it before walking out, his mind already shifting back to the challenges ahead.

As Ophelia stood there alone for a moment, she took a deep breath, steadying herself. She knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but she was determined to stay true to her mission. Whatever her feelings for Ritsuka might be, she couldn't let them derail everything they were fighting for.

Kadoc then looked at her. "And then there is the fact all girls seemed to be attracted to him, this how it happen in school and it hapoing again".

Ophelia then looked at him a bit confused. "With it happend before"

Kadoc just looked at her. "yes when we were still in School and it still happening in Chaldea, especially the fact he got a girlfriend in thoes two months"

Ophelia felt like her heart broke into god knows how many pieces. "A girlfriend you say".

Kadoc just looked at her. "Yeah her name is Kama and she came to our school as transfer students and was joined to hip of Ritsuka, it was kinda funny when I always say them together also why do you look like your soul just died"

Ophelia tried to mask her reaction, but it was clear that Kadoc's words had struck a nerve. She took a deep breath, forcing a smile. "Oh, it's nothing. I just… wasn't expecting that. You know how it is, right? You think you know someone, and then you hear something surprising."

Kadoc raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "Ophelia, if this is bothering you, it's better to just talk about it. Ritsuka's situation is already complicated enough without everyone keeping things bottled up."

Ophelia hesitated, her thoughts racing. She didn't want to admit that hearing about Ritsuka's past relationship with Kama had shaken her. She barely understood her own feelings toward Ritsuka, and now this revelation was making everything even more confusing.

"Honestly, Kadoc, I'm just… surprised," Ophelia finally said, her voice soft. "I didn't know Ritsuka had that kind of history. It's just a lot to take in, that's all."

Kadoc sighed, crossing his arms as he leaned against the wall. "Yeah, I get it. Ritsuka's always been like that—attracting people without even trying. It was the same back in school, and it's the same now. But it's not like he's doing it on purpose. It's just… who he is."

Ophelia nodded, her mind still reeling. "I guess I never really thought about it before. But you're right, we can't let personal feelings get in the way of what we're doing here."

"Exactly," Kadoc agreed, his tone firm. "We all have our own roles to play in Chaldea. Ritsuka's got his own challenges to face, and so do we. But we can't let jealousy or whatever else mess things up. We're a team, Ophelia, and we need to stay united."

Ophelia managed a weak smile, appreciating Kadoc's attempt to be supportive. "Thanks, Kadoc. I needed to hear that. I'll do my best to stay focused."

Kadoc gave her a reassuring nod. "Good. We've got enough to deal with without adding more drama to the mix. Just keep your head in the game, and everything will work out."

With that, Kadoc turned to leave, giving Ophelia one last glance before heading out. Ophelia stood there for a moment, trying to sort through her emotions. She knew Kadoc was right, but that didn't make it any easier to push aside the confusion and disappointment she was feeling.

As she followed Kadoc out of the storage room, Ophelia resolved to stay professional and not let her personal feelings interfere with their mission. But deep down, she couldn't help but wonder what her future with Ritsuka would look like, especially now that she knew about his past with Kama.

Ritsuka arrived back to his room after eating as Kama finally become un invisible, as she did Ritsuka just looked at her and Morgan.

Ritsuka just looked at both of them. "Why do I feel like my life juts hit 120% more complicated today, even do I don't know why I am thinking this and probably noting has happened"

Kama smirked, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. "That's because it *has* gotten more complicated, darling. You're attracting all sorts of attention, and not just from your enemies."

Morgan, standing beside Ritsuka, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, husband. The more powerful you become, the more people will be drawn to you—both allies and adversaries. It's inevitable. But you mustn't let it overwhelm you. You're more than capable of handling whatever comes your way."

Ritsuka sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I guess I should have expected this. Still, it's exhausting trying to navigate all these relationships and keep everything in balance."

Kama walked over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You know, Ritsuka, it's not just about power or strategy. Sometimes, you just need to trust your instincts and let things happen naturally. You've been through worse and come out stronger."

Morgan added, her tone gentle yet firm, "And remember, you're not alone in this. You have us by your side, and we'll support you no matter what. Don't hesitate to rely on us when things get overwhelming."

Ritsuka looked at both of them, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. Despite the growing complexity of his life, he knew he could count on Morgan and Kama. Their presence, their strength, and their loyalty were unwavering, and that gave him the confidence he needed to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

He gave them a small smile. "Thanks, both of you. I guess I just needed to hear that. Let's just take things one step at a time and deal with whatever comes our way together."

Kama grinned. "That's the spirit. Now, how about we get some rest? You'll need it for whatever chaos tomorrow brings."

Morgan nodded in agreement, and the three of them settled into a quiet, comfortable atmosphere. Despite the uncertainties and the complications ahead, Ritsuka felt a sense of calm, knowing that with Morgan and Kama by his side, he could face anything.

Ritsuka then looked at Morgan. "Also really the stronger I get the more people will be drawn to me, sound like I am dragon, then again it comes from the girl who's sister had a dragon core (Artoria)"

Morgan chuckled softly at Ritsuka's comparison. "It might sound a bit like that, but it's true. Power attracts attention, and it's not always the kind you want. But don't let it intimidate you. Your strength is a tool, not a curse."

She paused, her gaze thoughtful. "And yes, my sister does have quite a bit of dragon heritage in her. But remember, even with such powerful bloodlines, it's the choices you make and how you handle those who are drawn to you that define your path."

Kama nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Being powerful does make you a focal point, but it also gives you the opportunity to shape your destiny and the world around you. Embrace it, use it wisely, and don't let the attention distract you from your goals."

Ritsuka smiled, feeling reassured by their words. "Thanks. I guess I'll have to get used to this new dynamic and handle it as best as I can."

Morgan gave him a reassuring nod. "You will. And with us by your side, you'll have the support you need to manage everything."

Kama grinned. "Absolutely. Now, let's focus on the immediate challenges and not worry too much about the distant ones. We'll face them together."

With a renewed sense of purpose, Ritsuka felt better prepared to tackle the complexities ahead. The support of Morgan and Kama, along with their wisdom, provided a solid foundation as he navigated his growing responsibilities and the attention they attracted.
