I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Maybe it was because of the "sit down" just now... Every time Kagome finished shouting this sentence, Inuyasha would become quiet.

Speaking of which, Mordred does look a bit like InuYasha... They are really on par in terms of being noisy.

"What are you doing! I didn't say anything wrong..."

Mordred crossed his arms on his chest, sat down glumly, and muttered something quietly.

But that's enough. It's really difficult to change someone's mind, especially Mordred, who has a personality even more stubborn than ten cows. If you push too hard, the Battle of the Sword Fence may not happen. It happened again.

She was already very satisfied if she could make Mordred sit down like this and listen to her words.

But she still had to apologize, she couldn't be as willful as Mordred.

"I'm sorry, Mordred's words were a bit offensive..."

Artoria bowed her head slightly toward Jeanne, and her sincere apology made Jeanne feel flattered for a moment.

"No, no, I think this... uh..." Joan of Arc glanced at Mordred, who was looking unhappy, frowned and said in confusion: "Miss Mordred?"

"Are you provocative? Damn it, believe it or not, I'm going to break up with you!"

"Oh——!!"

Joan of Arc held her head and was about to cry without tears... She had no idea why the other party suddenly became even more angry.

"Ahem!" Artoria put her right fist in front of her mouth, coughed, and then explained to the frightened Joan: "Mordred, um... doesn't like others to think of her as a girl. Ah, and she doesn’t like others to think of her as a boy, so you don’t need to add any suffixes of “Miss” or “Mr.”, just call her by her name.”

"...I think I'd better call her Red Saber."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Arturia touched her chin and nodded, feeling that this seemed more appropriate.

"So...ahem!" Joan of Arc followed Artoria's example and coughed. Her cheeks were a little red, as if she was embarrassed by her frightened performance just now. "I feel...red." What Saber said...is actually not wrong."

"It is an honor for me to become a Ruler together with King Arthur, who is admired by everyone."

As King Arthur, he is respected beyond imagination.

"However, I still want to ask..." Joan of Arc raised her head, looked directly into Artoria's eyes and asked: "Just now you said that Ruler did something illegal in the last Holy Grail War... What is it?”

In the legend, Joan of Arc heard the sigh of God, so she joined the war and led the French army to win one battle after another.

Perhaps because of this anecdote, Jeanne d'Arc, who was elevated to a Heroic Spirit, had a skill called [Revelation], which allowed her to do things similar to precognition.

Just now, when Arturia was talking about Ruler from the last Holy Grail War, Joan of Arc's [Revelation] skill was activated, which attracted her special attention.

"I remember, Joan of Arc, you had some problems when you were in this world, and you could only rely on ordinary people, right?"

"Yes." Joan of Arc nodded, not denying this point, "The body I am using now, its owner is Laetitia... Although I myself do not want to involve ordinary people in this. In the midst of a cruel war..."

Involving ordinary people in the Holy Grail War is of course not allowed according to the rules, but Joan of Arc has no other choice.

"However, fortunately, Leticia's life is protected. When I withdraw, Leticia and her body will be automatically sent outside the venue of the Holy Grail War."

Joan of Arc frowned slightly and said: "During this Holy Grail War, there was definitely an anomaly somewhere, so my manifestation was only half successful. So...is this anomaly really that senior Ruler?"

"Yes."

Arturia nodded, and then explained the existence of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada to Jeanne.

"The Ruler from the last Holy Grail War has lived in this world for sixty years? And he is also a Master on the red side in this Holy Grail War?"

Joan of Arc was shocked after learning the news.

"Of course, if you don't believe my words, you can verify it with the people next to me. They are also insiders." Artoria said calmly: "Or, you can go directly to the red team's base camp for verification. However, The Red Masters other than Ruler Amakusa Shiro Tokisada have been imprisoned, and the only people you can ask for confirmation are Amakusa Shiro Tokisada himself, or the servants there."

"Isn't this a foul?" Joan of Arc slapped the table and stood up, puzzled: "Not only did he imprison a master from the same camp, but he also participated in the Holy Grail War as a master despite being a servant..."

"I don't think it's a foul."

Artoria once again expressed her thoughts, "It would be fine if he was trying to steal other people's command spells and master qualifications, but Amakusa Shirou Tokisada is the master selected and recognized by the Holy Grail system. Since the Holy Grail system recognizes him, Yes, why don’t you admit it?”

"But...he is a Servant, isn't it fair to other Masters?"

"This is war, Joan of Arc. War is inherently unfair... In other words, it is precisely because war is the most unfair and unreasonable way in the world that war is so prevalent in all eras."

Joan of Arc was speechless by Artoria's rebuke.

"Then... what about imprisoning the Master?"

"In the final analysis, this Holy Grail War is just a variant of the Holy Grail War. No matter whether black or red wins, it will eventually become a battle royale with only one winner left, so there is no such thing as 'the same camp' , Amakusa Shirou Tokisada just brought this matter forward, didn’t he?”

"..."

It seems... makes sense.

Word spread that village girl Joan of Arc was deceived by Artoria and became lame.

After looking at the sky outside, Lion Jie Jieli called out Artoria.

"Ruler."

Artoria \u0026 Jeanne d'Arc: "Huh?"

The Lion Tribulation Realm has forgotten that Joan of Arc is also a Ruler.

This sounds so troublesome...

The two looked at each other, and then Artoria said to the lion Jie Jieli: "Just call me Artoriya. This will make it easier to distinguish."

"Then... please just call me Joan of Arc."

In Jeanne's heart, Artoria was obviously more suitable to be a Ruler than her, so she also asked Shi Jie Jieli to call her by her name.

"Then...ahem! I'm sorry." Lion Jie Jieli said seriously: "Artoria, it's time for us to leave. It's almost time."

Chapter 217 The plot has been changed (24/31)

Glancing at the sky outside the window, Artoria frowned slowly.

"That's right...it's already time."

She didn't forget that they still had to solve the problem of Jack the Ripper.

However, after standing up, Artoria looked at Joan of Arc.

"Jane, do you... have any plans after dinner?"

"Huh? This..."

Joan of Arc was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and whispered: "My words...I have always wanted to find out the reason why my current life is incomplete, but Miss Artoria, you have already told me that it is Amakusa on the red side. Shiro Tokisada caused it.”

"As for the next arrangements, um... I want to go to the red side to meet the senior and understand his thoughts."

For some reason, Jeanne was always a little worried about that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.

So...she really still wanted to see it with her own eyes.

After Artoria's explanation (deception), Jeanne no longer regards Amakusa Shiro Tokisada as a violator, but a red master who meets the requirements.

"Let's put the matter on the red side aside for now. Next, you and we will solve something together."

"Since you are also a Ruler, it is also your responsibility to deal with this kind of thing."

Artoria still remembers that Jeanne d'Arc has EX level [Anti-Magic Power] and can even completely neutralize Jack the Ripper's Noble Phantasm.

If you take her with you, you might get something unexpected.

After learning about the existence of Jack the Ripper, Joan of Arc resolutely joined in, bound to defeat this out-of-control Assassin!

Whether it's because of the responsibility of being a Ruler or for the lives of innocent people, Joan of Arc will not just sit back and ignore this kind of thing.

This town retains its medieval architectural style to a large extent, so naturally there are no electric lights.仼

It can be said that it is a very unfriendly town for Tesla.

When night comes, the biggest light source on the street is actually the houses on the street. The light of candles shines through the windows on the street.

It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Shili Jiejieli was walking alone on a narrow street and had a headache.

"Hey! Who are you? You are still hanging out so late at night. Could it be that you are related to the recent murders?"

A man in police uniform looked at Lion Jie Jieli with alert and fearful eyes. This immature look made people wonder if this person was new here.

Although the process was wrong, the conclusion seemed to be correct... The Lion Tribulation was related to the real murder incident. After all, he was walking around outside alone just to lure the murderer to show up.

However, this policeman is undoubtedly an obstacle.

Although he had a headache, Shishi Jiejieli was already familiar with this kind of thing. A simple suggestion magic drove this very young policeman away.

In the past, Lion Jie Jieli was often thought to be a murderer or a terrorist because of his appearance, which caused him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

He held the cigarette and took a deep breath. The butt of the cigarette lit up with a faint flame and became a little shorter than the naked eye.

The aroma of nicotine stimulates the lungs and refreshes the mind.

To be honest, Lion Jie Jieli was a little scared.

Maybe it was the surrounding environment... He always felt like a pair of eyes staring directly at him in the darkness, like a poisonous snake hidden in the grass staring at a weak little white rabbit.

"There shouldn't be any problem with this metaphor, right? Although I also have a certain amount of combat power...but in front of the servants, this combat power may be as useless as a rabbit's paws."

Lion Jie Jieli always talks to himself, because he always feels that this can relieve the tension a little.

There should be many people like this, right? In a very critical situation, you will talk more, because if you don't say something, you feel like you will be crushed by the solemn atmosphere.

"Is this really okay?"

Joan of Arc was a little worried about Lion Jie Jie Li, so she looked at Artoria and said, "Is it too dangerous?"

"But this is the best way at the moment." Artoria's tone seemed a little cold, "Moreover, this is war, and it is dangerous all the time. He should have known this cruelty before stepping into this battlefield. A lot of hardships.”

Then, Artoria looked at Mordred again, "Is there any problem?"

"Of course, Assassin, just leave it to me."

Smashing his fists together in front of his chest, Mordred showed an expectant and excited smile, "As long as she dares to show up, I will seriously chop off her head!"

"At that time, Joan of Arc and I will be responsible for plundering the formation. Mordred, you will be the main force. Don't underestimate the enemy and be careful of the opponent's Noble Phantasm."

"Got it."

That's the course of action, no more specific plans are needed.

After all, the lineup of three servants against an ordinary Assassin is already strong enough. It is certainly not difficult to win. The only thing to pay attention to is to prevent the other party from escaping.

"Joan of Arc, have you been to Black's place?"

Artoria's words seemed like a casual question, but Jeanne still answered seriously.

"Well... I have indeed been there." Joan of Arc nodded and said: "As for Artoria, she should have been there before me, right? I seem to have heard news about another Ruler from the Black team members, then It should be you, right?"

"Yes, because I think meeting Black's people will make it easier for me to fulfill my duties as Ruler."

After a pause, Artoria's mind appeared in Astolfo and the android Sieg he brought to her room that day.

"So...have you met Sieg?"

Hearing this question, Jeanne tilted her head in confusion.

"Qi...ge?"

After probably being stunned for a second or two, Jeanne showed a look of realization, "Oh, you're talking about Black's Saber... I've seen it before, but I didn't expect to see the legendary evil dragon slayer here. The great dragon-slaying hero of Fafnir, I heard that he is also the origin of the word Saber... What happened to him? "

When talking about Sieg, do you think of Siegfried instead of the artificial man? Could it be that...

"Was Black still alive when you left his castle?"

"Huh? You should be...still alive, right?"

"What about Astolfo?"

"Rider hasn't left the show yet. I saw her when she was leaving."

In other words, Siegfried did not give his spiritual core to Sieg, so the plot was changed?

"Um...what happened?"

Jeanne asked uneasily, wondering why Arturia would ask these strange questions.

"...Nothing, just stay with me from now on."

"???"
