I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"What a wonderful battle. He is worthy of being the leading hero of Allemagne." (Allemagne means "Germany" in French. It is normal for Joan of Arc, a French saint, to speak French, which shows that not all the world speaks Japanese.)

Faced with Ruler's praise, Black Saber nodded wordlessly.

"It's only Saber, what about me? Isn't my battle exciting?" Shenji blinked his eyes, as if to say - praise me, praise me.

Although Jeanne had been taught mathematics by Shinji, she had no intention of being partial.

"Your battle is also very exciting, but there is still a certain gap compared to Saber."

"This evaluation is also good."

Shenji was quite satisfied with this evaluation. He patted Siegfried's shoulder familiarly and smiled.

"It's normal to be worse than Brother Fei. Brother Fei is the leading warrior in Northern Europe and a real hero. Brother Fei is a real man~ Brother Fei is a hero~"

After talking about it, Shenji actually started singing.

Gold stared at the Black Assassin, unconsciously uniting him and Alstorfo, whose "rationality evaporated". Although after a period of reflection, he felt that Assassin's words made sense, it was difficult for him to connect the silly guy in front of him with the oppressive image just now.

After staring for a while, Gold regretfully realized that the opponent didn't accept this trick at all, so he could only regroup and face the ruler again.

"Judge, are you willing to accompany us after this? If you plan to supervise this battle in Tulifas, then staying in Myrenia City in My Thousand World Tree should be a good choice. "

Gold waved his hand, and the black Mercedes-Benz car parked in the distance quickly came over and stopped on the side of the road.

"No, this is unfair. My detection ability is dozens of times that of ordinary servants. No matter where the battle starts in Tulifas, I can rush there immediately, so please don't worry."

Ruler refused without mercy. This Holy Grail War is an unprecedented war in which two forces collide with each other. No party can be favored under any circumstances, not even on the surface.

"Let's go, Saber."

There was real suppressed annoyance in Gold's voice. His purpose is obvious from the beginning, it is to ensure the ruler. Unexpectedly, he was disrupted by the Red Lancer. Even if he had to use the power of Black Saber to subdue the Ruler, it would already be too late. Gold is a magician after all. He is not stupid enough to let his servants fight in broad daylight - and besides, there is Assassin who is always unsure of his attitude.

"Assassin, will you go back with us or continue to escort the ruler?"

"I'll go with you. There won't be any more red servants to harm the ruler before dark. I've done what I should do." Shenji said as he opened the car door.

"Wait, wait, your bag." Joan reminded.

Shinji was carrying a backpack when he met Jeanne d'Arc, and put it in a hidden place with Jeanne d'Arc's luggage before entering the battlefield.

"I'll give it to you. What's in it is my late-night snack, but now that it's dawn, I plan to go back and have breakfast with my master. If you don't mind, just treat it as your breakfast. I guess you will too. I'm hungry. If you don't want it, just throw it away. Also, remember to do the homework I left for you. I'll come over to check when I'm free!"

With the roar of the engine, the Mercedes-Benz car drove towards the city of Mirenia under the control of the android driver. From the rolled down window, you could vaguely hear Shenji and Gold mocking each other.

"Are you stupid? Assassin, a servant only needs to have enough magic power and does not need to consume food."

"You are stupid. You don't understand the simple truth that good food can make people feel happy. I have told you that although there is a special way of existence, followers are still human in nature."

"What's that homework?"

"I won't tell you."

"you--!"

The sound got farther and farther until it disappeared.

Joan of Arc once again looked at the traces of the battle between the two people from a distance. The traces are too scattered, disordered, and have no fixed direction.

The damage was not caused with malicious intent to destroy something, but was proof that it was simply the aftermath of the battle. That's right, a casual blow cut the signboard on the highway in half, creating a huge crater like a falling meteorite.

Thank goodness this is not an elevated road. Jeanne thought.

If that were the case, it might collapse because it could not withstand their trampling. Of course, the Servants would not die from this, but the reconstruction of the elevated road would take a long time. That's really a bit embarrassing.

In short, the first follower battle between Black and Red ended in a draw. No one on either side suffered serious injuries, nor did they consume a lot of magic power. It was just an easy outpost battle.

However, this is already the case in a mere outpost battle.

As the war intensifies, Servants and Masters who want to cheat will probably appear. I, was the ruler Joan of Arc summoned just to monitor her?

I couldn't say "no" decisively, but I also had a vague feeling that I couldn't honestly believe it. No matter what, there is something "different" about this Holy Grail War, something in the girl's heart whispered.

"It's useless to think about it now. No matter what, we must go all out."

Ruler clenched his fists and declared alone. The sun was already rising, but she was still wearing armor, which made her feel inexplicably ashamed. She quickly released the magic-woven armor, changed back into her original private clothes, and walked to the place where her luggage had been placed.

There, black handbags and backpacks lay side by side.

Joan opened her (Leticia's) handbag, took out a black notebook, and looked at the half-book of handwritten exercises left by Shinji, feeling bitter in her heart.

It took half an hour to make one page before. How long will it take to finish these twenty-odd pages? Alas~.

From this point of view, Joanne is still very serious and hard-working and loves learning. She has no idea of ​​hiring someone to write for her or not writing at all.

I have to say, he is a really good student, but he is a bit stupid.

Shaking her head to get rid of the pressure from the exercises, Joan opened Shinji's backpack, which contained sandwiches wrapped in food bags, vegetable salads in boxes, and local fresh milk in glass bottles. , and some unnamed snack-like foods.

"This is too rich."

Even though she learned about modern life through Leticia, Jeanne, who was born in a village girl, still felt that Shinji was too extravagant.

This is a midnight snack, so how exaggerated is the dinner? Although Assassin doesn't want it, should he really enjoy these "luxury things"?

While hesitating, the "gurgling" protest coming from his stomach became the final weight that weighed down the balance.

“Thank you Lord for giving us food.”

Jeanne picked up the sandwich and gently bit into a corner.

The softness of the bread, the crispness of the vegetables, the smoothness of the ham, and the sweetness of the jam mixed and twisted in the mouth, giving Joan an unprecedented enjoyment during her lifetime.

"Delicious."

After eating half of the food in the backpack in one go, Jeanne pressed her belly with satisfaction.

"My stomach feels much better now..."

Suddenly, her body trembled, and her blue eyes looked in the direction where Shenji left.

"Did he notice something strange about me, so he left these things for me? ...Forget it, it doesn't matter if he notices it. It's getting late, it's time to go to Tulifas."

Under the thin purple sky, the girl picked up her bag and set off again.
