The Endless Shuttle

The black-haired young man patted Joan's face lightly, drawing the saint's attention back.

"Let me tell you something. Say I'm lying to you. In fact, the demons in your mouth and I have used the Holy Grail to bring the back of this world to the brink of destruction. Tomorrow, all nuclear bombs on the earth will explode automatically... something like that. What do you think of my joke? Don't worry, I have plenty of time to waste on you now."

Excluding those joking rhetorical questions, what Rope said was the truth.

Joan of Arc can clearly judge this point.

But it is precisely because it is the truth that it cannot be accepted. That would mean that her efforts and beliefs in this war were simply superfluous.

The Emperor of Heaven and the demons got the Holy Grail, but the sun will still rise tomorrow. People in Fuyuki City continue to move forward after suffering short-term fear and pain, living the life they should have, just like human history has always been written. .

After a long silence, Joan of Arc said with a complicated expression.

"...I came here to rectify the distortion. Even as you said, I have a clear conscience for my actions. You expect my apology, but those innocent lives lost at the hands of demons will not allow me to do this move."

She is not an omniscient god.

As a result, the danger and unknowability of the Heavenly Emperor and the demons were in front of Miss Saintess, and Joan of Arc could only do her best to resolve that possibility and prevent it from happening.

"distortion?"

In the second half of the sentence, Rope ignored the past, but the reason for Joan's arrival made him very interested.

The first thing he thought of was neither himself nor Nyarlathotep, whom only he knew.

It was Nyogda.

The High Old One, the noble dweller of the darkness.

This evil god does not have all the conveniences of Naiako. With the help of Sakura, she may have gotten rid of the surveillance of the ancient gods because of the "ID card" given by Luo Pei, and gained the adaptability of the world. But in the final analysis, local snakes are more aware of their own territory than outsiders. The Moon World has such things as restraint. Even if they can't directly know the existence of the Great Evil God, they will react more or less.

Just like human beings will have stomach pain after eating bad food, and then they don't know the reason, so naturally they have to go to the "doctor" to ask the reason.

Sure enough, just like what he said to Jeanne in the basement that day, Naiyazi took the blame for Nyogda.

"Hehe..." Luo Pei smiled a little strangely: "Then according to this, Miss Saint, you have to not only apologize to me, but also thank me."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because, the "distortion" you mentioned was disintegrated by the demon upstairs. "

Rope spread his hands and said.

"At least until she wakes up from cultivation and draws her power back to the kingdom, the so-called "distortion" is impossible to appear. Even if it did appear, it would be a curtain call before leaving, just a flash in the pan. Of course, believe it or not. "

Joan of Arc's green eyes stared straight at Luo Pei, trying to find traces of lying on the face of the Emperor of Heaven.

But unfortunately, like just now, she couldn't find it.

Slowly, the eyes of the saint seemed to be watching the final BOSS being suddenly washed as a righteous person, full of disbelief.

"That demon..."

"Her name is Nyogda." Luo Pei's face became serious: "Unlike Naia upstairs, I bear the name of her believer in name, so don't call her by her name in front of me."

"She...was purged by a silver-haired demon?"

"Clear? Don't say it so badly, Miss Dark will be angry. At most, it's a loss in a daily quarrel." Rope shrugged and said. "Otherwise, how do you think the enchantment disappeared? Why did you see Naiyazi in a comatose and weak state? Because when you and I first met, we were finishing dealing with His Royal Highness Nyogda's affairs and preparing to go home, and St. The young lady attacked us with involuntary speculation."

"I……"

"How about you? As a master who wants to end the Holy Grail War with all my strength and win without endangering the safety of the world, you hinder me again and again. Is the position of Ruler really fair?  … Well, I will not explain anything about the tsunami, after all, war will kill people, so let’s die.”

Joan was speechless.

It's not that she can't find a reason to refute, but in such a clear situation, her explanation is as far-fetched as anger, and the consequence of being far-fetched is the end of the conversation.

Conversation is the only thing left for her without force.

Joan wanted to leave this room, to verify the authenticity of Rope's words with her own eyes, and to observe whether the demon would leave this world.

Being tied up like this obviously can't do anything.

"...I only apologize for the act of stealing."

Saying this may represent a huge compromise for Joan of Arc, but of course Luo Pei would not be satisfied with such a calm tone.

"that's all?"

The black-haired youth shook his head again and again.

"No, that's not what I want, you know Miss Saint. I told the truth, if you still can't satisfy me, not only Naiyako's abuse proposal, your precious second life It will only be imprisoned in this house."

"Of course, even for "pets", I will provide three meals a day. Add a premium leather collar and a nightly walk like a dog. what do you think? Joan of Arc. "

What a terrible future, just thinking about the saint makes me shudder.

The truth of the matter, my own mistakes, and the persecution of the black-haired youth.

In order to use the hard-won second life to do more beneficial things, Jeanne sighed silently in her heart, closed her eyes and said softly.

"It was my fault."

"Huh? Louder."

"It's my fault, Indra, that my stupidity and oversight have caused you trouble—that's what you wanted."

pleasing to the ear.

It is really pleasing to the ear.

The stubborn saint lowered her haughty head and confessed her mistake to the murderous devil.

Is there anything more refreshing than this?

Rope is now very happy after hearing this brief apology.

"I finally heard it... In this way, what you owe me will be paid off."

With a sigh of relief, Jeanne's body relaxed.

--it's over.

"Your Majesty Indra, I will not run away again, please untie this chain, and about my Master..."

Just about to make an opinion, the saint suddenly noticed Luo Pei's movements and widened her eyes.

"Wait! What are you doing?!"
