Chapter 271 Ruler Appears
"As expected of Aika Sajou."

Fu Le sighed as she walked towards her room.

He could only marvel at how worthy she was of being the princess of the Root; even as the Master of Assassins, she could still come up with all sorts of tricks.

Although Fu Le helped Xiao Ying cheat, he only made minor modifications.

Unlike Sajō Aika, who actually summoned a Grand Servant directly.

She really does never consider others when she does things.

Fu Le thought to himself.

With Assassin's summoning, all seven Servants of this Holy Grail War have now arrived.

This means that the Fifth Holy Grail War has officially begun.

That very night, in the great cavern at the center of Mount Enzo, a girl who looked remarkably like Artoria suddenly appeared near the Greater Grail.

She was also a follower.

However, her job title is Ruler.

Yes, she is Joan of Arc.

As Ruler, Jeanne's mission is to ensure fairness in the Holy Grail War.

Her being summoned by the Holy Grail also means that an unexpected event has occurred in this Holy Grail War.

The moment Jeanne d'Arc appeared, Fu Raku and Sajō Aika, who were far away at the Matou residence, already knew about it.

"Can't you be a little gentler?"

Fu Le complained to Sajo Aika beside him.

The appearance of Joan of Arc was not unexpected for Fu Le.

Who told him and Ayaka Sajo to both resort to cheating?
But Joan of Arc's arrival had nothing to do with Fu Le, since he cheated by altering the Holy Grail system.

Therefore, when Enkidu arrived, Joan of Arc did not.

But Sajou Aika is different; she belongs to the category of strong brick flying.

This led to a warning from the Holy Grail system, causing Jeanne d'Arc, as the Ruler, to descend into the world.

"Huh? Should I take care of her?"

Upon hearing Fu Le's words, Sajou Aika sighed in dissatisfaction, then turned her eyes to Fu Le and asked him a question.

Although Joan of Arc is a Servant, she has no chance of winning against a character like Ayaka Sajou who has an overpowered advantage.

Sajō Aika definitely has the ability to deal with her.

"Fine, since we're here, let's not let them go."

As the model for constructing the cycle of reincarnation becomes more and more complete, Fu Le has begun to prepare to build his own faction.

After all, his goal was to use the cycle of reincarnation to reincarnate all the people in the Starry Sky Railway world, in order to control those fearless individuals.

But this would require him to have enough manpower.

After all, countless people die every day in the world of Stardust Railway, and it would be impossible to manage such a huge organization without enough people.

In addition, Fu Le needs to train a group of highly capable subordinates.

He didn't want to see a scene similar to Sun Wukong causing havoc in the underworld in Journey to the West.

Although he has already mastered Hueco Mundo in the world of Bleach and can cultivate his own Menos Grande.

However, the success rate of obtaining Great Hollow is extremely low.

Therefore, Fu Le set his sights on the heroic spirits of the Type-Moon world.

"Perhaps I could move the entire Hall of Heroes."

Fu Le thought to himself.

Even if not all of them move out, there are still some exceptionally talented individuals that Fu Le would consider poaching.

But that's a matter for later. Right now, Fu Le plans to eliminate all the participants in this Holy Grail War.

After all, according to the Holy Grail system's procedure, all Servants' souls are first placed in the Lesser Grail after death, and this year's Lesser Grail charm has already been prepared and is placed on his desk in his room.

Fu Le was quite satisfied with the quality of the Servants in this Holy Grail War.

Now that Joan of Arc has come to surrender, how could Fu Le not be willing?
Meanwhile, when Joan of Arc accepted the information from the Holy Grail and planned to go out to find out the unexpected events of this Holy Grail War, she was as if she had been pulled into another world as soon as she stepped out of the Great Void of Ryudouji Temple.

Thinking she was under attack, Joan of Arc immediately assumed a defensive stance.

But what came into his view the next moment was a fierce battle in the distance in Fuyuki City, where countless Noble Phantasms were constantly being shot down from the sky and the ground at each other.

That was the great battle between Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

With Assassin's summoning, the Fifth Holy Grail War has officially begun.

That very night, Matou Sakura took Enkidu and left the Matou residence.

The next moment, Gilgamesh, who was enjoying modern life, suddenly changed his expression.

He could clearly sense Enkidu's presence.

His mood immediately became extremely pleasant.

So he immediately took Rin Tohsaka into the mirror world, and then quickly headed towards Enkidu.

Enkidu already knew that Gilgamesh had been summoned because of the information given to him by Matou Sakura.

So he stood there at ease, waiting for Gilgamesh.

When the two met, they immediately began a fierce battle, tacitly understanding each other's intentions.

After a fierce battle, the two ended their first encounter with a clash of Noble Phantasms capable of destroying Fuyuki City.

This is the scene Joan of Arc saw after entering the mirror world.

"Enkidu and Gilgamesh?"

"These two were actually summoned at the same time."

Joan of Arc gazed at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, a voice filled with laughter reached her ears.

"Please come this way, Ruler, my master wants to see you."

"who!"

The sudden sound provoked a reaction from Joan of Arc.

When she turned around, she saw Medea.

At this moment, Medea put on her robes for the first time in a long time; she hadn't dressed like this for many years.

"Medea? No, wait, you're not a Servant in this Holy Grail War, are you?"

Joan of Arc asked warily.

"That's right, I am a Servant left over from the last Holy Grail War, and I am now living in this city."

“My master is aware of your arrival and is fully aware of your doubts, so he sent me to invite you to be his guest.”

"."

After hearing what Madea said, Joan of Arc fell silent.

Even the Servants left over from the previous generation have appeared, and she realizes that the culprit who caused her to descend is very likely the master that Medea spoke of.

After some thought, she decided to go and meet the other party.

"I understand, let's go then."

"please."

Led by Medea, Joan of Arc passed through the mirror world and returned to the real Fuyuki City, and then arrived at the Matou residence.

"Welcome, Lady Joan of Arc."

In the main hall of the Matou family's residence, Fu Le met Jeanne d'Arc.

She really does look extremely similar to Artoria.

But Fu Le could clearly sense that the two women had completely different temperaments.

"Are you the culprit?"

Joan of Arc asked directly.

Although this place could very well be the enemy's lair, Joan of Arc showed no fear.

"You could say that."

When Joan of Arc asked her questions, Fu Le's answer was vague and unclear.

After all, broadly speaking, he was indeed the reason why the Fifth Holy Grail War turned out this way; without his arrival, none of these things would have happened.

In a narrower sense, however, this was caused by Ayaka Sajou. "What do you mean by 'you could say that'? Isn't there a more accurate way to put it?"

Joan of Arc asked, dissatisfied.

She's not one of those women who can get away with vague answers.

"If you're just looking for the culprit behind this Holy Grail War, then it's her!"

Fu Le pointed directly to Sajou Aika, who was smiling and watching him from the side.

Because Fu Le told her to wait until Sakura and Rin Tohsaka had finished their fight before making a move, she didn't even leave the house at night.

Judging from her expression, she seems to be planning to wait until Sakura and Rin Tohsaka have decided who will win the Holy Grail War, and then end the war in one night.

"she?"

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc turned to look at Sajou Aika.

Sajou Aika smiled and waved to her a few times.

"That's right, it's me."

As soon as Ayaka Sajou finished speaking, the figure of the first Hassan appeared behind her.

"Grand Servant!"

With her ability to 'discover true names', Joan of Arc instantly knew the true name of the first Hassan and his very existence.

She finally understood what kind of strangeness had brought her here.

More importantly, compared to the anomaly before him, there seemed to be an even greater anomaly around him.

"Who are you?"

Looking around at everyone in the room, Joan of Arc asked with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"We are travelers from beyond the world."

Fu Le replied with a light laugh.

After Joan of Arc ventured alone into the lion's den, the Holy Grail War in the Mirror World continued smoothly.

Apart from Enkidu being engaged in a duel with Gilgamesh, none of the other Servants launched an attack immediately.

After all, this generation of Masters doesn't have such a strong killing intent, and their fighting spirit is not as strong as that of the Masters in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Therefore, during this first day, apart from Enkidu and Gilgamesh, who were close friends, no one else chose to take the initiative to attack.

They are all still observing.

Unexpectedly, while watching, I witnessed such a fierce battle between Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

Especially when the two were exchanging Noble Phantasms, if they hadn't made the decisive choice to leave the Mirror World, they would probably have been implicated.

"I never expected that Rin Tohsaka's family had such a powerful Servant."

Luvia, back in the real world, couldn't help but sigh.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu's combat abilities, which far exceed the norm, are too remarkable.

That was an overwhelming force that made the difference between them immediately apparent with just a glance.

"That was indeed an unreasonable opponent!"

Even the arrogant Mordred couldn't help but become wary after witnessing Gilgamesh and Enkidu's battle.

Then they regarded it as their greatest enemy.

Although the enemy was strong, Mordred never felt afraid.

On the contrary, Mordred became even more excited upon seeing such a powerful enemy.

Meanwhile, Karna, who possessed combat power comparable to Gilgamesh, stood silently in place.

But his heart also warmed.

"That's too much, Rin!"

In the present world, Illya is complaining to Rin Tohsaka.

Just like Luvia and Miyu act together, Illya is also acting alongside Rin Tohsaka.

But Gilgamesh was completely ignoring his Master's affairs when he started fighting.

Perhaps he realized that Rin Tohsaka could avoid this attack by going to the human world.

But not even giving a heads-up beforehand is going too far.

"That rascal!"

Rin Tohsaka, who was being complained about, was also complaining about Gilgamesh in her heart.

To be honest, Rin Tohsaka disliked Gilgamesh somewhat, since her elegant father was so respectful in front of him.

Moreover, Gilgamesh's personality seemed terrible to her.

In short, the two are somewhat incompatible.

Meanwhile, in the shadows not far from Rin Tohsaka and Illya, Kallen watched the two figures in silence.

On this first night, the battle between Enkidu and Gilgamesh ended in a draw.

With their battle over, the first night of the Fifth Holy Grail War came to an end.

Fu Le didn't care about this.

He has lost interest in this Holy Grail War.

Although two women, Aika Sajou and Jeanne d'Arc, have recently moved into his home, his peaceful life has not been disrupted.

That's right, Joan of Arc also stayed at her house temporarily.

She really had no other choice.

Although she found the culprit as soon as she arrived, the problem was that she couldn't defeat him.

Jeanne d'Arc, who possessed the 'Apocalypse' skill, understood Sajou Aika's special nature in an instant.

She also knew that neither Sajō Ayaka nor her Servants were a match for her.

Furthermore, there are even more terrifying figures in this hall than Ayaka Sajou.

That was Fu Le, sitting there watching the show as if it were none of her business.

Just by looking at him, Joan of Arc's 'divine revelation' was constantly warning her.

The person before me is someone unmatched in the world.

This greatly alarmed Joan of Arc.

At that moment, Joan of Arc didn't know what to do.

Since Fu Le did not seem to intend to attack her, Joan of Arc judged that she should be able to leave safely.

But what good would it do to leave here?
The problem is how to deal with Sajou Aika and his followers.

Should we gather the other Servants to join the attack?

But Joan of Arc didn't think that this would be enough to defeat Sajō Aika.

What's more, Fu Le is here too.

Although Fu Le didn't make a move, if the battle were fought on his own home, it might anger the other party.

Saya Aika lives at Fukuro's house, so we need to go there to deal with her.

Although Jeanne d'Arc, as Ruler, could use Command Spells to forcibly command the first Hassan, she did not believe it would work.

The Command Seals would have been enough to kill the First Hassan.

If he didn't want to serve Ayaka Sajou, Ayaka Sajou couldn't force him to do so with a Command Spell.

He has that ability.

In short, when faced with the special case of Sajou Aika, Jeanne d'Arc's many privileges as Ruler became ineffective.

While Aika Sajou was living in Fukuro's house, some of her other methods became less effective.

After all, Fu Le is in more danger.

For the sake of the residents of Fuyuki City and for the sake of the world, Jeanne d'Arc did not want to involve Fule in this matter.

Upon learning that Aika Sajou was staying at Fule's house, Jeanne d'Arc expressed her wish to stay there temporarily as well.

Fu Le agreed to her request.

After all, the moment Joan of Arc arrived, she was already destined to be Fu Le's woman.

Fu Le naturally treated his own people very well.
