I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

When Arturia saw Joan, Joan also saw Arturia.

I have to say that Joan of Arc is very lucky.

If she had come ten minutes earlier, she would have seen Astolfo returning from seeing Sieg off.

If she had come a few minutes late, Arturia would have already left. With the isolation of the "Hades Cloak", even the ruler would have difficulty catching it.

The moment she saw Jeanne's appearance clearly, Arturia was stunned.

This hair——

This face shape——

This ear——

These eyebrows——

This nose——

And this mouth——

Why is it so familiar?

It feels like I'm looking in the mirror - wait, isn't that my face?

who is she? How come he looks exactly like me?

No wonder Arturia was so shocked. Even an ordinary person would be frightened if he saw someone who looked like him on the street, let alone someone like Arturia who had a special experience.

She clearly remembered that her sister Morgan used magic to give birth to a forbidden son named Mordred who looked exactly like her. Although she was sure that the girl in front of her was not Mordred, her first reaction when she saw this face was-could it be her sister's fault again?

You must know that Morgan is both the "Elf of the Lake" and a great magician named after Merlin. As long as such a person does not die, it will be strange to do anything. Unfortunately, when King Arthur "died", Morgan was still alive and well.

Of course, if Arturia could break the dimensional wall and meet a guy named Takeuchi Takashi, she wouldn't be so surprised. What's a lookalike? Characters with the same face can form a team and even fight a Holy Grail War.

Unfortunately, Arturia didn't know Takashi Takeuchi, so she fell into confusion and just stood there blankly, watching Jeanne approach without focus.

"You are the Black Lancer, right?"

"..."

"Black Lancer?"

"..."

One thing to note here is that Artoria has switched to armor mode at this time. Only she can see Joan's face, and Joan cannot see her face.

"Black Lancer?"

Joan of Arc spoke for the third time, and Arturia said "Ah" as if she were waking up from a dream, and said: "Servant Ruler?"

"Yes." Jeanne nodded, and then asked a little uneasily, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Arturia replied subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and asked, "You asked me what's wrong?"

"Yes, what happened?" Joan of Arc was a little confused. What is going on?

"You'll know soon." Arturia took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then she took off her full-face helmet.

This time it was Jeanne who was stunned.

However, her reaction was much smaller than Arturia's. This is mainly because the current Arturia is the royal sister version, much more mature than Joan of Arc, and there are still some differences in their looks. Secondly, Joan of Arc does not have Arturia's special experience, and looking like her is just a simple surprise, nothing to be confused about.

"I was shocked. I didn't expect them to look so similar. If I had lived a few more years, I would have looked more like them."

"Who are you--?"

"Servant ruler, Jeanne Darc, please advise me, the Knight King of Britain."

"Joan of Arc!"

This name awakened Arturia's memories that had been buried for many years. At that time, she had not let go of her obsession. At that time, a mad magician called her Jeanne d'Arc. At that time, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows also said that she was very similar to Jeanne d'Arc.

"So it's you. It wouldn't be surprising if it's you. Indeed, except for the eyes, the faces are almost the same."

Arturia didn't find it strange, but Joan felt strange because of the former's attitude.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because someone mistook me for you in another Holy Grail War."

Perhaps it was a preconceived impression, or perhaps he felt a similar nobility, Arturia did not hide it.

"who is it?"

"Jill de Rais should be your comrade-in-arms."

"Jill!"

Joan's pupils shrank, that was her most staunch supporter and ally. This friendship will last until death.

Countless memories came to mind, including the oaths sworn together under the flag of iris, the bloody battles on the front line, and the shared laughter after saving Orleans.

Thousands of words turned into just a sigh in the end.

"Is he... okay?"

Arturia hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's very bad. He is crazy and stubbornly thinks that I am you. Although you and I are very similar, there are many differences. If we are familiar people, There’s no way he’s going to admit his mistake. And—”

"And what?"

"Moreover, he committed many crimes after being summoned to the present world, and finally wanted to summon monsters to destroy the entire city."

"Gil, Gil he—"

The blood on Joan's face instantly faded, even though she already knew the experience of Gilles de Rais and the sins he committed through the knowledge given by the Holy Grail.

She felt sad about this, but she also accepted the fact. However, when she heard that he had not changed after being summoned to this world, her heart was shaken - Jill, are you still obsessed with my death?

Arturia stared at the girl in front of him without saying a word. She could understand this feeling. If Lancelot and Gawain became like this, she would behave the same way.

All she could do was wait for Joan to come out on her own.

She believed that this girl who was very similar to her would come out. Because the similarity between the two is not only in appearance, but also in spirit.

I don’t know how long it took, Joan of Arc raised her head, lowered her head, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What happened to Jill in the end?"

"Die, die under my holy sword." Artoria's expression was calm, not minding the fact that it was Joan of Arc's comrade she killed with her own hands.

"That's right." Joan of Arc's voice was very soft. When she looked up again, her eyes were clear again, "Thank you, King of Knights, thank you for stopping him for me."

"No need to thank you. If it were you, you would do the same."

"yes."

This trust made Joan of Arc feel a lot better and put a smile on her face. It wasn't until this moment that she realized the weirdness of what she just said.

"No, how come you have memories of other Holy Grail Wars?"

Heroic spirits are existences that are separated from the timeline. They will be summoned in all eras, whether it is the past or the future. However, the only thing that can summon the true body of the heroic spirit is the "world" itself, and humans can only summon the servants who are clones of the heroic spirit.

The information (soul) that makes up the Servant will return to the main body when the Servant dies. The main body can know the Servant's actions in a recorded way like reading a book. However, this record will not be inherited by newly summoned servants.

In other words, the servant will not have the memory of the last time he was summoned.

But Artoria has it, so how can this not surprise Jeanne—could it be the effect of the Command Seal?

Before Jeanne could think about it further, Arturia held her head high and said:

"Because I'm special."

PS: Well, I am taller than you and have bigger breasts than you.

PS2: Well, don’t take Gundu’s Noble Phantasm animation seriously. At least the traitor didn’t find any other evidence that Dong Stallion can fly. As for the Noble Phantasm, you can insist on an explanation. The Wind King’s barrier blew up.
