"Um. Angel, what should we do next?"

When the confused voice of Jeanne's mother, Isabella, reached Shirou's ears, Shirou realized belatedly: the high-intensity battle had come to a temporary end.

It was the same in Fuyuki.

The journey to the French singularity begins with a slap in the face of the boss.

So much so that Shirou almost thought that this journey to the French singularity would be like the previous one, fighting all the way from beginning to end.

The French singularity was about to develop in the same way, and Shirou was ready to fight with his life, but he didn't expect that this desperate battle would be delayed because of Vlad III's efforts.

Things are not over, they are just temporarily delayed.

No one knew how long Vlad III could buy Shirou and the others time.

[In this battle, how many times did Shirou use the power of Hercules? ]

【1D11=6】

[Number of uses remaining: 5]

The power in the mask of Hercules' godhood was directly reduced to less than half.

It is conceivable that although the previous battle with the Fantasy Demon King was short, its intensity was outrageous.

Dracula's power is really too exaggerated, so exaggerated that it should not be something that a 'humanoid unit' should have, but rather a giant beast unit - even among the giant beast units, it should be ranked among the top.

Without having fought him in real hand-to-hand combat, you would have no idea how terrifying that power is.

It was so scary that Shirou couldn't help but think: Something is wrong. Is the stereotypical Dracula so strong? What kind of Dracula are you? What kind of vampire are you?

Shirou's physical body is not fighting against the Heroic Spirit at this time. He has the strengthened spiritual base of Jeanne d'Arc, the physical saint, as well as the protection of the Holy Grail and the power of Hercules. He even uses desperate tactics such as explosion and destruction.

It can be said that except for the power of the dark warrior, all others have been used.

Even this is only comparable to Dracula at this stage.

Although Shirou knew from Jeanne that Dracula had fought many super servants in other world lines, he also knew that the Dracula he was facing now still had the power of the R'lyeh Text in his body.
But I always feel like something is not right.

This Dracula's fighting power seemed to be stacking boxes, but Shirou had a strong intuition: something was wrong with the process.

Even though the battle was over, Shirou still felt a tingling sensation lingering in his arm, his muscles and nerves trembling uncontrollably, and even if he used the forging method to rebuild his body, the pain still lingered in his arm.

Unfortunately, Shirou doesn't have Rin or Illya by his side right now, so he has no one to ask if he wants to.

(.If Jeanne hadn't received the spiritual base reinforcement, and had directly hit the boss, it would be a shame if there were enemies of this strength in future singularities.)

Shirou shook his head, temporarily suppressing the random thoughts that involuntarily emerged in his mind.

There's no point in thinking about this now.

After all, the situation Shirou is facing at this moment is not so much that Shirou himself is weak, but rather that he has encountered too many over-powerful enemies in succession.

Besides, Archduke Vlad had told Shirou before they parted that he wanted him to find companions who could solve the current problem in this French singularity in 1431.

Shirou also had some ideas of his own.

For example: go find Mozart. Mozart's "music magic" can suppress the side effects of the dark warrior's power. If music magic is used in conjunction, Shirou can use the power of the dark warrior to a certain extent.

Is this also a way to break the deadlock?
Shirou picked up the unconscious Baal - let's not talk about what to do with her for now.

Joan of Arc's mother, Isabella, looked at her with confusion and anxiety.

Shirou looked around.

The village called Domremy, the hometown of Joan of Arc, has now been completely reduced to ruins.

Even if there are survivors, they must have fled here before the war started, right?

"Angel, can you save them?"

Shirou saw a glimmer of light in Isabella's eyes.

Those are the eyes of expectation, the eyes of believers praying for a miracle from their faith.

For people of this era, the belief in the Lord and the desire for miracles are different from the attitude of people in the future towards the "fantasy elements that are commonplace in game stories."

Even without the disasters brought by supernatural powers, living itself is difficult.

This is why we need the spiritual support of religion.

The stories in myths and legends are not just "stories" to them, but also a "must-have spiritual pillar".

Perhaps it was these thoughts and prayers of countless humans over countless years that created the spirits called angels and the demon king.

Miracles do exist and they are omnipotent. You have to believe it.

Shirou could actually see what Isabella's wish was at the moment. She didn't want Shirou to "save the survivors", but she wanted Shirou, the "Angel of the Lord" in her eyes, to perform a miracle or a divine work.

What kind of miracle?
For example - resurrecting the dead.

Her home, her hometown, her daughter, everything she had was destroyed.

But from her perspective, Shirou, the angel, saved her and brought back her daughter's soul - so, she must have some wishful thinking in her heart at this moment.

He felt that the angel Shirou would resurrect his daughter, his devout daughter who could listen to God's voice and walk with angels.

Since he is an angel who brings salvation and drives out all evil, then the many innocent lives of Dongremi can also be saved (resurrected), right?
Shirou was understandably troubled.

There were no survivors in Donremi. Before Shirou arrived, Bluebeard had controlled the sea monsters and flying dragons to brutally massacre all life in the village. Shirou had already confirmed this when he had eliminated the sea monsters and flying dragons before.

Bluebeard's methods were so cruel that it seemed as if he had a deep hatred for these people.

What was he hating? Why did he hate the villagers who had grown up with Jeanne?

Shirou couldn't understand it, and neither could Jeanne herself. They could only understand that Bluebeard had gone mad because of the influence of the R'lyeh Text.

If there are any survivors in Donremi, they must be those who left before the accident and escaped the disaster because they were not in Donremi.

(Faith, faith is such a hassle)

It's not like Shirou hasn't encountered this kind of person before.

He can wield a knife to deal with a cult leader without hesitation, but he will leave the psychological treatment of the cult victims to professionals such as Father Kotomine and Kiara.

Hypnosis magic or something like that would be very useful at a time like this, but Shirou was not good at it, and if he used it forcefully, he might hurt the other person.

All Shirou could tell her was, "Everything will be alright once this is over."

Although Shirou didn't lie, it certainly couldn't respond to Isabella's expectations.

Although after listening to it, she revealed a look similar to that of a pilgrim, and looked at Shirou with faith - the angel in her eyes.

Shirou wasn't lying.

After completing the singularity strategy, everything will indeed be fine.

However, this does not mean that the dead will be resurrected.

Shirou had already asked Roman and Da Vinci about this before setting off.

Singularities are distortions of history.

But even if the singularity is corrected, the fact that the singularity once existed will not disappear.

It's like a broken vase. Even if you glue it back together, it may look exactly the same and can be used as usual, but the tiny cracks will still exist and the fact that it was broken will not disappear.

Those who died in the distortion of history - the singularity, will not be resurrected even if the singularity is corrected.

What happened in the singularity - the historical content of the singularity, will be restored as close to the original history as possible.

People will not remember what happened in the singularity, and those who died in the singularity will not be resurrected.

Anyone killed by a flying dragon will be killed by a wild beast instead.

A large number of human deaths in one place would be transformed into a plague or some kind of natural disaster.

Except for some extremely rare exceptions, no one will remember the stories that happened in the singularity, and Joan of Arc's mother is no exception, right?
Shirou became a little unsure.

(After all, I am not an angel.)

[Should Shirou tell Isabella that 'I'm not an angel'? 】

[1. Anyway, I will forget it once the singularity is repaired, so let’s just forget it. Shirou feels that he can’t explain it clearly.]

[2. It is better to explain it to him to avoid any misunderstanding]

【1D2=1】

Shirou: ".Hmm."

It's not so much that Shirou doesn't want to resolve the misunderstanding, but rather that, after careful consideration, Shirou really can't figure out how to make the loyal believer in front of him understand and believe that he is not an angel.

In fact, Shirou had already said this, but the other party didn't believe it.

Shirou felt that he didn't have enough skill points in this area.

Besides——

"If everything will be forgotten after it's over, then there's no point, right?" Even Jeanne herself thought so. "I think it's good for her. Isn't faith just that?"

Is it really okay for you, a saint, to say such things?!
Although Shirou himself holds a similar view, he basically tends to be a pragmatist or realist, and cannot be called an atheist - because he knows that there are really gods in this world, but they are very far away from modern humans and cannot appear in the world every now and then like the gods in stories like "Dungeons & Dragons".

After listening to Shirou and Jeanne's explanation, Isabella let out a long sigh, as if the worry in her heart had finally fallen to the ground: "In other words, as long as we destroy that demon king, the Lord will perform a miracle and save everyone, right?"

Shirou: "."

Joan of Arc: “.”

Hmm, anyway, if I could make Isabella believe that Shirou is an angel, maybe I could give her some spiritual support, right?
People in this era may really go crazy if their faith collapses.

Just like Bluebeard.

A subtle misunderstanding persists.

Isabella volunteered, her maternal aura fully activated. Although she didn't quite understand what the previous battle was about, she took the initiative to pick up Bal, who looked like an unconscious little girl, and seemed to be taking care of her as a little girl who survived.

Shirou planned to thoroughly check the entire village of Domremi.

Shirou didn't think there were any survivors. After all, he had already checked - but what if? What if a miracle really happened?
Besides, Shirou had no plans to leave Domremy anytime soon.

This place is also one of the meeting places agreed upon by Shirou, Ritsuka and Illya. The previous battle was so big, it is normal that some people would be attracted to come and check out the situation, right?
If the place where Ritsuka and Illya Reiko were transferred and dropped was nearby, maybe they are already on their way and will arrive soon?

Although Grand Duke Vlad hopes that Shirou will leave quickly to find Georgos.
But Shirou realized one thing with a little sadness:

"Because I've become accustomed to asking Rin for advice, if Rin wasn't there, or if there wasn't someone around who could take over Rin's job, I wouldn't be able to think of what to do next for a while."

Shirou really couldn't think of any ideas - except for ideas that weren't really ideas like "find all the enemies you can find and kill them" and "Don't know where the enemies are? Then just look for them based on your intuition."

If Shirou could really kill Dracula + two Gluttonous Demon Kings by himself now, then he wouldn't have to be confused.
Oh no.

If Shirou really had the strength to single-handedly kill three immortal demon kings head-on, then instead of being confused now, he should already be on his way to obtain the Holy Grail and return to Chaldea in triumph.

In short.

Shirou plans to stay in Domremi for a while, waiting for his companions to come and make an action plan.
Or, will there be friendly wild servants in this singularity who will come to you on their own?

In the luckiest case, maybe Georgos would come by himself - of course, the probability of this was very, very low. After all, according to intelligence, the situation on Georgos' side was at the level of a lucky failure, so it might not be that easy for them to reunite.

Shirou still hoped that his companions had not fallen too far away and would be able to reunite with him in time.

(Rather than running around like a headless fly, it would be better to wait for my companions to meet up at the agreed location in Dongremi. Hmm?)

Shirou suddenly thought of something.

In the small mysticism class before coming here, Illya, Da Vinci, and Roman all said that Joan of Arc must be an "elf sorcerer" according to the definition of a magician.

Although the church may not recognize this, magicians have long since come to the most scientific truth through research: angels are elves, and are special cases among elves.

Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that Joan of Arc is a 'elf sorcerer as a magician'. The only difference is, is Joan of Arc a wild elf sorcerer who has not learned any knowledge and awakened purely naturally, or is she a family inheritance?
If it was a family tradition, then perhaps Joan of Arc's mother was also a country magician.

Even if not, even if Joan of Arc is really a wild witch (saint), considering that this talent is likely to be inherited through blood, then Joan of Arc's mother may also have this talent.

This is a historical mystery that cannot be verified unless - you have a time machine to verify it yourself!
After Shirou actually arrived at the French singularity - because he immediately faced the boss and entered the boss battle, Shirou almost forgot about it!

Shirou has verified this problem for his friends in Chaldea's technical team!

The Isabella d'Acre, Joan of Arc's mother, whom he met in 1431, really had extraordinary magical talents!

"Jeanne, what do you think?" Shirou asked Jeanne, "Can your mother help me find a companion?"

Jeanne was a little confused: "Well, maybe there is something wrong with the summoning. Regarding the memories of my previous life, I..."

[Joan of Arc tries to recall her past life]

[Difficulty: 90 (Because the original work did not explain why Jeanne forgot her past life, the difficulty increased)]

[Jeanne's 'Inspiration Test': 1D100=22 (Jeanne's Cuisine)]

Jeanne's voice became weaker and weaker: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember. I feel that this is not amnesia, but a part of my spiritual base is missing. The content of this part is not forgotten, but lost. But I just remember my experiences in other world lines. I don't understand. Am I not actually Jeanne herself?"

It seemed that because of the series of embarrassing failures, Joan of Arc began to doubt herself.

Shirou, who is not good at speaking, can only comfort her clumsily:

[Shirou's 'comfort effect': 1D100=89]

"It doesn't matter. Even if you're not the real Jeanne, you gave me strength and are my companion who fought alongside me. If it weren't for your Anti-Magic EX, I might have died in the previous battle. Even without skills and Noble Phantasms, this Anti-Magic EX alone is more than enough."

Jeanne was in a state of confusion, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know whether Shirou was trying to comfort her or mock her for being just an 'anti-magic EX pendant'.

But she still felt the sincere kindness.

Jeanne herself might worry about whether she is a fake, but Shirou won't, because to Shirou, he only knows this companion who fights alongside him.

It doesn't matter. "Miss Isabella, my companion got lost during the soul transfer process. I'm not good at this technology. Do you have any solution?"

Just ask Isabella herself.

It’s free anyway, so there’s no harm in asking. What if there really is a solution?

[Can Isabella help Shirou find his lost companions? ]

【Lucky Check】

[Difficulty: 75]

[Shirou's 'Luck': 1D100=95]

"So Shiro-sama is not good at these things? That's right, you look like a combat angel, let me think."

Isabella looked thoughtful.

Shirou and Jeanne's eyes suddenly widened!

No! I just asked casually, but you really have it! ?

It was almost a big success! Literally, almost a big success! ?
[Isabella's idea to help Shirou find his lost companions is:]

[1-5, "Before you came, I saw a strange person. Is that your companion?" (Additional judgment on who it is)]

[6/7, Ah? Jeanne's mother really knows magic!? Is she a wizard?]

[8. "If it's a divination technique, I know some of it" (?)]

[9. Got a clue about Georgos!? (Super speed!)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

[1D10=8 (Huh?)]

Isabella looked at Shirou, "I don't know if it will be useful but if it's divination techniques, I know a little bit."

Shirou: "?"

Jeanne: “?”

Shirou: You? What?
Shirou took a deep breath and asked the question that Jeanne herself must have wanted to know the most at this moment: "Where did you learn this?"

[Where did Isabella learn divination techniques? ]

[1/5, the rituals that are popular among the people, also known as "wild magicians" and "folk magic", can be used because of Isabella's natural and powerful magician talent]

[2/6, The ancestors were magicians, but now they are in decline, but some magic techniques have been passed down as part of the rituals of the Christian faith]

[3/7, Until Isabella's generation, she was still a magician, but she believed that magic was a "miracle bestowed by God"]

[4/8, I don’t know who taught me in a dream not long ago: “It must be the protection of the Lord!”]

[9. I learned this by chance from the gypsies who were passing by]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

The answer given by Isabella was somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable.

"I learned it by chance from a fortune teller among the gypsies of the wandering tribe when I was trading goods with them."

As soon as Isabella finished speaking, she suddenly became nervous because she didn't know what she was thinking about. She looked at Shirou and explained carefully:
"No! Please don't misunderstand! I know her. She is not a witch. Although they are wandering, they also believe in the existence of the Lord. It is through their devout belief in the Lord that they have obtained some protection from miraculous powers!"

Shirou: “.” Shirou really wanted to say, Madam, it sounds like you were cheated by a quack.

When talking about gypsies, besides wandering, the first things that come to mind are the divination techniques of various mysterious witches, right?

This is also a stereotype.

However, there really are magicians in this world. In 1431, information was not easily disseminated, and it was common to see wild magicians mingling in gypsy caravans.

As far as Shirou knew, the tradition of the so-called 'divination technique' popular among the Gypsies was essentially a kind of inheritance of magicians.

However, the gypsy magic tradition is not for the purpose of studying the truth of the world, but simply as a means of making a living.

Of course, if we come to modern times, there are probably very few magicians with real skills - but Isabella's time was 1431, and it was not uncommon to accidentally encounter a few magicians in a gypsy caravan and use magic to make money.

With Isabella's extraordinary talent, it was normal for her to learn real magic by accident after accidentally seeing it.

"The Lord doesn't care about that." Shirou comforted Isabella.

Isabella heaved a sigh of relief. She really thought the boy in front of her was an angel.

But Shirou did not lie. As far as Shirou knew, God himself did not care about these things. After all, the difference between the 'mysterious rituals' and 'magic rituals' used by the church was only to the extent that the people of the church said, "We call it 'mysteries' instead of 'magic'."

With the affirmation of the angel in her eyes, Isabella took out some strange stones from somewhere and began to show them to Shirou.

Jeanne felt mixed emotions. Mixed emotions in every sense of the word.

Is this the kind of person my mother is?

Joan of Arc herself was unable to answer this question because she could not remember anything about her life.

Shirou just thought: The more he looked at this lady in front of him, the more she looked like a middle-aged housewife who was sold some suspicious pots or stones by a suspicious religious group.
[Ah, although it doesn’t make sense, let’s make an additional judgment on Isabella’s ‘appearance’ to facilitate your imagination.]

[Assuming that Joan of Arc's appearance level at the age of 19 is 90, based on this value, Isabella at this time is probably]

[1D70+30 (Although she is a married woman, she is the mother of Joan of Arc, who left a record of "beauty" and "big breasts" in history, so I give her some basic value correction. 50 is probably the appearance of an ordinary village woman. Speaking of which, Joan of Arc died very young, and people in the Middle Ages generally married early, so maybe she was not that old?) = 70+30 = 100 (high value with unknown meaning.jpg)]

"?"

Shirou tilted his head.

Honestly, Shirou himself is insensitive to the so-called "appearance", or does he see everything as a skeleton? Or does Shirou value the soul more than the body?
of course.

It can also be said that because he has the physique of a mushroom man since childhood, and has been surrounded by beautiful girls with extremely high looks since childhood, after being used to it for a long time, Shirou has no specific concept of the so-called "beauty and ugliness".

Shirou is probably the worst judge for that kind of beauty pageant, right?

Regarding Isabella's stats, Shirou's only thought was this:
So, Joan of Arc died very early, and people in the Middle Ages generally married early, so maybe Mrs. Isabella was not yet at the age of "old and ugly", plus she had hidden elven witch blood.
The charm remains×
In the prime of life√

You see, Joan of Arc herself was also a country girl who worked in the fields and played in the mud since she was a child. Wasn't she also fair-skinned and beautiful?
It should be said that Joan of Arc, who died too early, had not yet grown to the peak of her beauty, right?

Although Shirou doesn't think this thing has any meaning.

Does appearance increase combat effectiveness?
Anyway, what Shirou cares more about than his useless looks is: "What is the probability of your divination?"

[Isabella's "Unknown Divination Technique Learned from Gypsies" Success Probability: 1D10=2 (Huh?)]

".About 20%?"

Isabella said uncertainly:
"Well, I don't dare abuse the Lord's grace, so it rarely works. I just feel that this is the probability."

"Oh" Shirou wasn't too disappointed.

The 20% probability figure is indeed a bit low.

If there were a real magic expert present - such as Rin or Illya, they would definitely explain and tell Shirou from the perspective of principle that the 20% does not refer to the 20% probability of success, but the probability of successfully launching the divination technique. The mere possibility of successfully launching this technology that affects fate is already very remarkable.

Ophelia's magic eyes that can influence fate are like spending her life every time she uses them!

However, Shirou's mentality at this time is: It doesn't matter, if it succeeds, it succeeds, if it doesn't, it doesn't succeed. Just because the divination says that I will never be able to defeat the Demon King, should I not fight?
Let's give it a try. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, that's okay. Shirou will think of more ways to find companions.

Jeanne seemed to be in distress: "I always feel like something is wrong. But it seems like nothing is wrong."

At this moment, Miss Bhaer also woke up.

As soon as she woke up, the White Saint burped and touched her slightly bulging belly: "Hmm, I feel a little full, huh? What are you doing?"

Bal originally wanted to discuss with Shirou about the part of Dracula's curse that he had eaten, as well as his own life and death.

But I found that the atmosphere now seemed to be wrong.

After asking, I found out that they were planning to use divination to find someone.

"Divination is a very common technique in the mythological age. But if the result is good, it's fine. If it's bad, it will be troublesome. Don't be discouraged if you fail."

He seemed to think, "How can it succeed with only a 20% chance?", so he comforted Isabella in advance.

After hearing this, Shirou also felt that it made sense, but since the probability was only 20%, it would not hurt to give it a try.

After all, he really has no clues about who he is looking for now, so he can't just sit in the ruins of Remi and wait, right?
Anyway-

Isabella was concentrating, invisible magic power surging in her body, the breath of the Holy Grail gushing out, and the lady's eyes kept moving across several stones, muttering to herself.

The final result is——

[1% probability, make a 10D2 judgment, and the number 6 or appears to be successful]

[Isabella's 'Divination of Unknown Origin': 1D10=6 (Success!)]

Shirou: "."

Joan of Arc: “.”

Barr: "Hmm? Success! What luck! Things like this happen occasionally!"

Is it really accidental?

[Isabella's divination is successful, Ritsuka and Illya at this time]

[1/3/4, reunited with a friendly servant (additional judgment on who it is)]

[2/5/6, Encountered an enemy Servant! ? (Additional judgment on who it is)]

[7. Accidentally entered Elizabeth's concert and collapsed]

[8. Trapped somewhere by a group of flying dragons——]

[9. Actually, it’s nearby. We’ll soon reach Domremi]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

Suddenly, sudden good luck!!!

It's really so easy to reunite! ?
It seems that the place where Ritsuka and Illya fell should be a place that is a certain distance away, but where the atmosphere of the battle on Donremi's side can be intuitively sensed.

At this moment, they are on their way.

Thinking of this, Shirou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: Fortunately, because of his personal habit, even though he knew there was no possibility of survivors, he still decided to look for it in Dongremi - what if a miracle happened?

It is because of this habit that Shirou did not miss his companions who came to join him!

Baal, the old god, nodded and said, "You are so lucky. There is no fixed destiny in this world. After all, there are parallel worlds. However, there are many ways to influence destiny. Since the divination has been successful and the result is that you can successfully reunite with your companions here, it means that you, the brave boy, will be blessed by fortune in this matter of reunion."

Shirou looked at the White Saint in surprise: "You know so much?"

Bal: "The longer you live, the more you know. Wait! What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Shirou decided to skip this awkward question and looked at Isabella: "Why don't you use divination again to see if there are any survivors of this Dongremi? Where are they? If we can find them in time, maybe we can rescue them in time."

Bal frowned when he heard this: "It's better not to rely on this low-probability power of fate. If you rely too much on it, you will definitely suffer someday."

Shirou shook his head. "It's impossible for the outcome to be worse than the current plight of Donremi, right? What if there are survivors who are found and rescued in time?"

Bal's brows relaxed: "That's right."

Isabella carefully looked at the reactions of the two people and said, "Since the angel has allowed me to continue to borrow the power of the Lord, I will try again."

[Isabella tries to use 'divination' to find survivors in Domremy.]

【Success is when the number 2 or 6 appears】

[Isabella's 'divination': 1D10=6]

Isabella couldn't help but smile with joy: "May God bless you!"

Shirou: "."

Barr: “.”

Jeanne: “Is this really reasonable?”

"It's hard to say if there are any survivors." Shirou's focus was obviously different.

[After such a brutal battle, are there any survivors in Domremy? ]

[1. Yes (What kind of person can survive in such a situation?)]

[2. None]

【1D2=1】
