Joan of Arc was stunned for a moment as she watched the battle being resolved in a very short time.

"You are--"

"Eh?!" Elizabeth Bathory turned around. "Didn't I just explain it once? Did you forget it so quickly?"

"I.E.S.B.T.O.R. is the Servant you summoned!"

"Really!"

"Remember my name well!"

A few minutes later.

The extinguished bonfire was reignited.

The only difference is that compared to the last time, there is one more person sitting around the campfire.

That was Elizabeth Bathory, who claimed to be a follower of Joan of Arc.

The little girl was hugging her legs and looking at everyone present with great curiosity. She looked very cute.

She glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, Mordred, and Jeanne who were present, and then uttered some strange names.

"Little deer."

"Little cow."

"Little sparrow."

"as well as--"

"Master."

"I already know them all--!"

Elizabeth Bathory's appearance is already cute, and using such a fairy-tale-like name further enhances this feeling.

This made the thoughtful Mashu couldn't help but ask her a question.

"Um...why do you call us by the names of small animals?"

"Oh, you're asking that?"

Elizabeth Bathory looked at Mashu, and her innocent blue eyes were filled with a bit of innate pure evil.

"because--"

"In my eyes, you are not even human beings~"

"..."

Elizabeth Bathory said the most vicious words with the cutest face.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into a cold silence.

The first person to break the silence was Mordred who reacted.

"Hey!" The girl stood up, pointed at Elizabeth Bathory, and spoke rather unconvincedly.

"what do you mean?!"

"What do you mean by 'In your eyes, we are not human beings'?"

"Eh--?"

The little girl tilted her head slightly, revealing a puzzled expression that was unclear whether intentional or unintentional.

"Is what I said so difficult to understand?"

“You mean it doesn’t count—?”

"You can't even understand something like this. Did an idiot like you become a Servant through the backdoor?"

While saying these words, Elizabeth Bathory had a very sweet smile on her face the whole time.

But such cuteness coupled with such undisguised aggressiveness seemed a little ironic at the moment.

"you!"

The impatient Mordred stood up, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat the little loli up.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu quickly grabbed her and prevented a civil war from happening.

However, although they stopped Mordred, the two of them actually had some similar ideas to a greater or lesser extent.

"that--"

Fujimaru Ritsuka wiped the sweat from his forehead and then looked at Jeanne d'Arc who was facing the campfire.

"Ms. Jeanne, how did you summon her?"

"This kind of character is really..."

The half-baked master did not continue speaking, but looked at the saint in front of him with a tactful look.

But this was enough for Joan of Arc to understand what she meant.

But unfortunately——

Joan of Arc still didn't fully understand the situation.

"Feel sorry."

“I don’t know how I did it.”

"I simply heard a voice in my dream, and when I opened my eyes, Elizabeth was right in front of me."

"This……"

After hearing the actual situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mordred looked at each other in surprise.

One of them had not received much formal training, while the other had no relevant knowledge at all.

So the two of them had no idea what Joan of Arc's words meant.

Mashu, who knows more about this, is in a different state.

After hearing Joan of Arc's explanation, she began to think.

After a long while, the pink-haired girl spoke again.

"that--"

"If that's the case, I think Miss Jeanne might have performed a Heroic Spirit Summoning."

"..."

Mashu's words instantly drew everyone's attention.

This made her feel a little embarrassed - as a girl who had been a nobody in Chaldea for many years, she was not used to being the center of attention.

Joan of Arc saw this.

She smiled and comforted the pink-haired girl.

"Don't be nervous."

"Just speak out your inner thoughts bravely... everyone will listen carefully."

Joan of Arc's voice was gentle, and her eyes were soothing.

This reminded Matthew of Ian for some reason, and he immediately felt a little relieved.

"Um……"

The pink-haired girl looked at the little loli holding her magic gun beside her.

"Since Elizabeth acknowledges that you are her Master...it means that you have already reached a de facto contractual relationship."

"According to what I learned in Chaldea, this can already be considered a Heroic Spirit Summoning."

"This..." Joan of Arc still looked a little confused after hearing the explanation.

"If I remember correctly, Chaldea is the name of your organization."

"But--"

"I've never been there before. Is it possible to summon heroic spirits remotely?"

"Of course." Mash nodded. "Chaldea is not the only place where heroic spirits can be summoned."

"As long as the conditions are met, it can be done anytime and anywhere!"

"Do you meet the requirements?"

"Yes!" Mashu nodded, "For example, a sufficient source of mana... Then it can be completed with just a simple ritual."

Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted at this time.

"Eh? Is there any around here?"

"This..." Mashu frowned slightly, "I'm not sure either."

"..."

After listening to this coherent explanation, Jeanne looked down at her arm and began to think seriously.

Finally, she had her answer.

"That--"

The saint once again showed the red mark on the back of her hand to everyone in front of her.

"Do you think it is guiding me to the 'source of magic' you mentioned?"

"Eh?!"

Jeanne's words awakened Mashu.

All the doubts in her mind suddenly came together.

"If that's the case - it's possible!"

"After all, the opponent who sneak attacks is also a Servant... In that case, there must be a source of magic power to summon the opponent!"

"It's not surprising that the Master's Command Spell would react to this."

"Wait a moment!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka also reacted.

"In that case, shouldn't we hurry up and catch up with the attacker?"

"But how can I follow her?" Mordred grumbled, "She's been gone for a long time, right?"

"..."

Everyone was silent again, and fell into deep thought.

Only Elizabeth Bathory still looked quite happy.

After being silent for a long time, she looked at everyone who was thinking hard and then started to speak.

"If I just want to follow that person... I think I can do it."

"Can you do it?" Mordred was full of doubt.

"Don't look at me like that, you stupid little sparrow." Elizabeth Bathory held her magic spear, "I'm not the kind of Servant who speaks carelessly."

"but--"

"I have a condition."

"That's..." The little loli pointed at Fu Fu on Mashu's shoulder.

"Let me hug it!"

"Fu?!"

Being targeted by everyone, Fu Fu could only raise her hands in surrender.

So, with Fu Fu as the "price", Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group, under the guidance of Elizabeth Bathory, set out to chase the fleeing shadow.

only--

The characteristics of the other party's job seem to be able to hide his tracks very well.

The group kept losing track of each other on the road.
