"Who taught you to do this?! Let that man come out! I want to beat him to death!"
"No one taught me to do this." Joan of Arc lowered her head.
"I...have no friends in the village at all."
"Brother, this is all my own idea."
"..."
【You know what Joan of Arc said is indeed true. 】
[Because it's not just her situation, you don't have many friends in the village.]
【Your situation has been so awkward since your father passed away.】
【After experiencing the "Angel Incident", it was even worse. 】
Ian's anger disappeared in an instant.
His tone softened a lot.
"That--"
"Why do you think of such a thing?"
"because!"
Jeanne carefully moved closer to Ian.
"My brother seems to be under a lot of pressure recently."
"I... am my brother's girlfriend!"
"If she's my girlfriend--"
"Shouldn't we try to make our brother happy when he comes home?"
"But I don't have anything else to make my brother happy... I can only let my brother see my body."
Joan of Arc lowered her head.
"But...if I take off all my clothes, I'll be embarrassed."
"So I found an apron to cover it... I didn't expect my brother to be so angry. I'm really sorry."
"..."
[Joan of Arc's observation skills are still excellent. ]
【She knows you are under a lot of pressure, so she tries every way to make you happy. 】
[Of course, she also knew that this behavior was not in line with the modesty that a girl should have, and could even be considered shameless.]
[But for you, she is willing to put aside her dignity and wear an apron naked. ]
Ian hugged his sister.
He rarely felt the powerlessness of being a brother.
"I'm sorry, I'm so useless."
"But I don't think my brother is useless."
"In my heart—"
Joan of Arc leaned against her brother's chest and listened to his heartbeat.
"Brother is the best!"
"And also... the best boyfriend!"
"..."
Ian looked at his sister.
"Well... you're right."
That's right.
I must become that kind of brother.
We must not allow Joan of Arc to continue to be suspected.
[You have made up your mind.]
[You want to completely establish Jeanne's identity - let everyone witness her do something extraordinary.]
[But now you can't find the possibility of realizing this idea. 】
[You remembered the dragon-shaped pendant that said it could help you. ]
late at night.
Joan of Arc was sleeping soundly in her bed.
Ian leaned against the bed, breathing in the cold air.
Can't sleep.
Can't sleep at all.
Once he thought of the dragon-shaped pendant, he couldn't fall asleep.
Give it a try.
Ian took off the pendant from around his neck.
It was a piece of jade that was carefully carved into the shape of a dragon head. No matter from which angle you looked at it, the workmanship was impeccable.
Is there really a way for it to achieve what it wants to do?
[You clench the dragon pendant.]
【You hope to get some solutions to the problem from it. 】
[The innate dragon protection has been activated: that mysterious voice begins to respond to you again. ]
"You're back." The voice didn't seem surprised at all.
"Yeah." Ian made no secret of his helplessness.
“I have something I really want to do now.”
"Tell me—"
"what should I do?"
Ian had already prepared for the worst in his heart - after all, he was a strong-willed person and knew the consequences of asking for help from others.
However, if I could really make my sister do that kind of thing.
He would be willing to accept any price.
I am not afraid even if I fall into hell.
however--
The response from the voice was beyond Ian's expectations.
"You don't have to do anything."
"Because I will help you achieve what you want to achieve."
"what do you mean?"
"Literally." The pendant began to emit a black light.
"I... will use your body to transform into a dragon, and then let Jeanne 'defeat' you once."
"In this way, you can achieve what you want to do, right?"
"..."
Although he was mentally prepared, Ian still couldn't help feeling a little scared when he heard such words.
"so--"
"Is the price to pay for this to be that you take away my body?"
However, the voice once again denied Ian's statement.
“Please don’t describe it as a so-called taking away—there is no such concept between us.”
"because--"
"You are me as a human, and I am you as a dragon, that's all."
"This kind of exchange... should have been tried several times before, right?"
"..."
【You suddenly realize the truth that you killed the Burgundians with fire.】
[You thought your memory was scattered by anger, but in fact you turned into your dragon self. ]
【You suddenly understood what happened on that rainy night. 】
Ian looked at the pendant in his hand and asked in a slightly trembling voice:
"So, it was you who actually defeated the man called Leif?"
"You can say yes, and you can say no." The voice in the pendant responded.
"I can't be here without your body."
"And without my presence, you can't defeat Leif."
Everything made sense.
Ian finally understood how he and his sister had escaped that disaster.
But he suddenly realized something very important.
"and many more--"
"If you say so... could it be you who was the angel that Jeanna saw?"
"Angel figure?" This time it was the voice in the pendant that was confused.
"what are you saying?"
The confusion in the voice made Ian realize something.
That is, the human side and the dragon side do not have the same memories.
It's time to share.
[You described the "angel" that Joan of Arc saw on that rainy night to the voice in the pendant exactly as it happened.]
You feel like things are heading in a very bad direction.
"That certainly sounds like me," the voice in the pendant replied in the affirmative.
"Oh, I was actually mistaken for an angel?"
"..."
This confirmation made Ian feel a chill in his heart.
Because it means that Joan of Arc actually really did not come into contact with the "angel".
All she met was herself as a dragon.
This is a lie beyond imagination.
but--
It was a lie that even Jeanne herself was unaware of.
And the source of everything is yourself who has transformed into a dragon.
【This truth makes you feel very painful. 】
【But you soon thought of more important things. 】
[That is, we cannot let this lie about angels end. ]
[If people knew that what your sister saw was not an angel at all, all your efforts would be wasted.]
