In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

It's just some.

After all, from the moment we met to now when we sit down like this.

Ian could clearly feel that the Black Joan of Arc in front of him and the sister in his memory were two completely different people.

This also fits with what she said about the relationship being "only the names are the same".

But this explanation does not address the most important question - why was there a second Joan of Arc?

The man did not remember that he had a second sister.

As if she had anticipated what Ian was thinking, Black Jeanne quickly continued to explain.

"You don't have to dislike me so much."

"Although--"

"My relationship with that Saint is indeed just a name."

"But that doesn't mean I'm any less important than she is."

A familiar tone;

Familiar body movements.

Ian realized that the Black Joan of Arc in front of him was about to start "showing off" something again.

Unsurprisingly.

Black Jeanne, who was sitting on the man's lap, moved closer to him, her tone full of pride.

She probably thought that what she was going to say next would be very shocking.

"do you know?"

"I--"

"But the Avengers came here following the power of the Holy Grail."

"No matter what, it won't be worse than that saint."

221. Test from a Man/Witch and the Holy Grail/Xiaomo and Gudako (4k)

The Holy Grail, an object loaded with a great deal of magical power.

According to word of mouth among magicians, each Holy Grail can fulfill the wishes of its owner.

Because of this, it is often called the "universal cauldron" or the "wish-granting machine".

And Ian has always been a staunch supporter of this kind of speech.

after all--

He had truly witnessed the power of the Holy Grail.

In the distant Heian-kyo era, the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki had already used the Holy Grail to create a descendant named Abe Yasuchika.

After decades, Minamoto no Yorimitsu's final fate was finally changed.

To put it bluntly.

A normal Holy Grail, in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, can indeed change one's destiny.

but--

This is no longer the case with the Singularities - the Holy Grails are the very cause of the Singularities.

The overly powerful power contained in the Holy Grail caused history to be distorted, giving rise to many possibilities that should not have existed.

As a result, pan-human history gradually moved in a wrong direction, eventually leading to the burning of human nature.

This is the most terrifying thing about Leif's actions.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but take a breath.

He adjusted his emotions and brought the direction of his analysis back to the present.

If Jeanne d'Arc had not lied just now - she really came from the Holy Grail summons.

Then many things can be explained clearly.

Why does she have memories related to Altria?

——Because this is the "memory correction" unique to the Holy Grail Summoning, it can allow the Servant to have some memories that he would not otherwise have.

Why does she look almost identical to her sister Joan of Arc?

——Because she is not a real person, but a being that is reproduced through the medium of the "Holy Grail", there is naturally no need to consider her appearance.

and many more.

Ian suddenly realized that something seemed even more wrong.

Although the existence of the Holy Grail can indeed explain many previously incomprehensible problems.

But at the same time, it also brings up more questions that have no answers at the moment.

one.

Since the girl in front of me is indeed "Joan of Arc" - that means there is indeed someone who wants to summon "Joan of Arc", right?

Who will this person be?

Second.

In the first case, how did the person who wanted to summon Joan of Arc prepare the relevant items?

The Holy Grail summoning is not something that can be done just by thinking about it.

That was a rather complicated process.

Third.

When both the first and the second are assumed to be true.

Why would a being like Black Jeanne d'Arc, with such a fragmented mental state, come into being?

What exactly happened during the summoning process?

Damn.

This is not an answer at all - it is a track that transports more problems to you!

Ian clenched his fists subconsciously.

"Hey!"

Black Jeanne's irritable voice came.

She reached out and pinched the man's face.

"You're here again, aren't you?"

"Why do you always lose focus in the middle of a conversation? Don't tell me you're thinking about that Saint Lady!"

"..."

Looking at Black Joan of Arc's murderous look, Ian knew that he definitely couldn't say what was in his heart directly.

Her mental state is extremely unstable. If she is stimulated again, she may do anything.

At this point, the best way to deal with it is to pretend to be her believer and then praise her behavior.

"of course not."

"I just think the way you describe it is very..."

"very?"

The moment she heard this word, Black Jeanne moved forward a few inches, with her cheek almost touching the man's face.

It can be seen that although she has no sense of shame, she cares very much about these external evaluations.

fine--

The man's response was still praise.

"Very handsome."

"Eh--?!"

Black Jeanne originally thought that Ian would criticize her behavior, but she didn't expect to receive praise from him.

She, who was so aggressive just now, suddenly became a little more delicate.

"really?"

"You think I'm handsome like this?"

Although it was a bit against his will, Ian nodded seriously.

"Yes."

"I do think so."

These few simple words deeply touched Black Jeanne's heart.

There was a hint of joy in her eyes, just like a sister who had done a good deed and was praised by her brother.

But soon——

She seemed to realize that this was too embarrassing, so she immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, I have another question for you!"

"what is the problem?"

"This is it!"

As Black Jeanne spoke, she showed the man the front garden that they had just used during their in-depth conversation on the dragon's back.

At this moment, it is still raining outside.

Tick-tick, tick-tick, it sounds just like the snow that you never see in summer.

"What on earth are these things you left behind?!"

"..."

Ian knew that Jeanne d'Arc had zero knowledge in this area, but he never expected her to be so poor.

"Put it down first."

"..."

Although she didn't like Ian, a servant, giving orders to her, a master, she really wanted to know the answer, so she did it anyway.

She stopped that embarrassing action.

"All right."

"Now it's your turn to tell me the answer, right?"

"..."

He realized that what he was going to say next would most likely cause permanent and irreversible damage to Jeanne d'Arc, who had absolutely zero experience in this area.

Ian considered his words carefully.

"Well...it can be regarded as a kind of recognition of you from me."

"Agree?" Black Jeanne d'Arc, who was sitting on the man's lap, looked at him with a puzzled look.

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"Because you said this was a contract, right?"

"Since it is a contract, it is actually a process of mutual assessment between both parties - you are assessing me, and I am assessing you."

"..."

Black Jeanne d'Arc did not answer immediately.

But judging from the serious look on the girl's face, she at least didn't mind the statement.

"So what are my assessment results?"
