Weakness MAX Reijou episode 6 synopsis: Caroline contacts Rufus

The anime Weakness MAX Reijou na no ni, Ratsuwan Konyakusha-sama no Kake ni Notte Shimatta revealed the synopsis for its episode 6, titled "The Conquest Target and the Heroine's Secret". The installment will show Caroline finally approaching Rufus, something that takes Pia by surprise.

The series premiered on October 4, 2026 on AT-X, TOKYO MX, Sun TV, and dAnime Store, among other channels. The story follows Pia, a girl who discovers she reincarnated as the villainess of an otome game and ends up accepting the bet of her fiancé, Count Rufus.

In episode 6, Caroline not only talks to Rufus: she also gives him some cookies. He, with his usual cold attitude, decides to feed them to a mouse to test them. The result reveals a shocking fact.

What we know about episode 6

The official synopsis teases that Rufus acts indifferent toward Caroline, but the cookie experiment changes the course of the scene. It's still not explained what the treat contains, though the preview makes it clear that it's not a simple gift.

The production also published preview images and a video trailer for the episode. The anime adapts a fantasy romantic comedy with all the classic elements of the genre: reincarnation in an otome game, a protagonist trying to avoid her fate, and a calculating fiancé who never loses a bet.

A twist that smells like trouble

Rufus using a mouse to test Caroline's cookies says a lot about how much he distrusts her. And the result being shocking suggests the treat hides something more than flour and butter. We'll have to see if this brings Pia closer to discovering the heroine's secret or if it complicates her position as the villainess even further.

Episode 6 continues the series' weekly broadcast in Japan. There are no further details on what will happen after the discovery, but the title already points to the heroine's mystery starting to unravel.
