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

"He didn't ask for anything."

"..."

Ian couldn't believe what he heard.

"He didn't ask for anything?"

"Yes." Black Jeanne nodded.

"but--"

"But what?" Ian asked.

"But when he first met me, he seemed very excited."

"It's like... a wish has come true."

"By the way, he was also shouting something like 'Yes, this method is indeed possible!'"

"..."

This was something Ian had never expected.

He thought that Gilles de Rais must have had some other intention in offering the Holy Grail to Joan of Arc.

But now it seems——

That's not the case at all.

He seemed to have gained great satisfaction just by seeing "her" who was similar to Joan of Arc.

How could this be?

Black Jeanne d'Arc did not notice Ian's change of mentality.

She just felt that she had fulfilled the other party's request.

"Okay~" The witch put her arms around the man's neck.

"My mission is accomplished—"

"Isn't it your turn to show off?"

"……Um."

The Dragon Witch's panting could be heard again in the room.

She seemed to be deeply trapped in this kind of life and couldn't extricate herself.

but--

The investigation did not stop because of Black Jeanne's words.

It is true that we cannot get any useful information from the Dragon Witch.

But Ian knew he still had Atalanta, who was quite reliable.

The man believed that this Archer would definitely give him enough opportunities to explain the problem clearly.

On the top floor of the castle.

Under the pretext of drill, Ian began to spar with the servants summoned by Black Jeanne - he wanted to take this opportunity to understand their strength in case of emergency.

And the situation is indeed developing as the man expected.

He had a rough idea of ​​the strength of these servants.

Vlad Tepesh Dracula is probably the most powerful of these servants.

After all, during the competition with him, Ian could clearly feel how terrifying the abilities of this Grand Duke who claimed that he didn't like sucking blood were.

Even if the premise is to stop at the right time, he still brings a lot of pressure.

The strength of Knight Dion and Charles-Henri Sanson should be equally matched.

But there seems to be some undisclosed grudge between them.

As for Lancelot—

Ian felt that his strength was probably second only to Vlad Tepesh Dracula.

The reason why I say it is probably.

Because he didn't seem interested in taking action, Ian could only line up roughly based on his memory.

Thinking of this way——

千,?寻;?免;费;小"说.裙"2'5.5.5'.9'!5":3.0!0, !"千;寻"'小!说??中:?转"裙"5.5,'4.7,.0:,7:?5";5,5身为Archer（弓兵）的阿塔兰忒反倒是从者们近身作战能力最差的。

However, this is easy to understand - they are archers after all.

Just as Ian secretly arranged the order of strength, Atalanta appeared in front of him.

According to the previously agreed code.

The cat girl pretended to be very dignified and said:

"Ian, the Master sent me to find you."

The man understood what he meant and immediately gave the reason he had prepared in advance.

"Excuse me, everyone."

After arriving at a place where no one else would notice him, Ian spoke immediately;

"Did you find something?"

"It's not a discovery." Atalanta answered with some embarrassment.

"Caster (magician) goes out every day at this time. I'm wondering if I should..."

Catgirls know how to adapt to changing circumstances.

If you can't find a suitable clue, then provide places where there might be clues.

Ian also knew exactly what she meant - to go into Gilles de Ray's room.

"I see."

"Wait for me."

"Eh?!" The cat girl's tail stood up.

"Are you going alone?"

"Isn't this natural?" Ian hugged Atalanta and stroked her head gently.

"I can't bear to let you do something with such a big risk."

"..."

The blushing cat girl did not answer Ian, but just nodded silently.

In her heart, it seemed that she still had the idea of ​​solving the problem for him.

after a while.

According to the information obtained by Atalanta, Ian entered Gilles de Ray's room after making sure that no one noticed him.

As soon as he came in, the man gasped.

Because the concentration of magic power in the room was too high, it had even reached a suffocating level.

In addition, Ian also saw many strange props in this house - they seemed to be things related to alchemy.

But at the moment he didn't have the mind to pay attention to these.

He just wanted to know what could have produced such a strong magical power.

And the answer to the mystery was soon revealed.

Ian saw the human skin magic book that Atalanta mentioned at a glance.

It was lying quietly on the table.

At the same time, he also confirmed one thing - this was François Plelaty's stuff!

He felt magical fluctuations that were almost identical to the day when Joan of Arc was burned at the stake.

This means that Gilles de Rais got the book from François Pleurati.

That's why he can disguise himself as Caster (magician) because of this.

But how are they connected?

Ian realized that the singularity on the soles of his feet might be closely linked to the memories he had acquired.

We have to find out what's going on quickly.

But at this moment——

Ian, who was concentrating on studying the human skin magic book, didn't notice that the door behind him opened.

Then, Gilles de Ray appeared there.

He looked at the scene in front of him and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Ian?"

"What are you...doing here?"

238. The truth behind the singularity/The collection of resentment/Ta Meow saves the day (4k)

Gilles de Rais's voice was not loud, but it was clear enough.

Ian turned around and saw him staring at him.

In those black eyes, there was now anger and dissatisfaction towards the uninvited guest who invaded his "territory".

It is no exaggeration to say that Ian felt that it would not be surprising if Gil de Ray pointed a weapon at him now.

Seeing that Ian didn't answer his question, the tall man asked again.

"Can't you...hear me?"

"Why did you come into my room?" I asked.

"..."

Even though he knew that if he didn't respond, Gilles de Rais would probably get angry.

But Ian didn't know what answer to give for a moment.

The room suddenly fell into deathly silence, as if a fierce duel could break out at any time and anywhere.

But at this moment——

Another figure appeared at the door of the room.

It was Atalanta.

Although she agreed to let Ian sneak into Gil de Ray's room alone, the cat girl was still worried about her master's safety.

and so--

She chose a way that would allow her to follow Ian's instructions while also being able to meet emergency needs.

That is to follow directly behind him and observe everything in secret.

This is not a difficult task for Atalanta, who is an Archer.

I don’t know whether to say it’s lucky or unlucky.

The cat girl's preparation really came in handy at this moment.

She saw Gilles de Ray turning back - just in time to run into Ian as he entered the room.

Realizing that she had unwittingly set a trap for her master, Atalanta took immediate action.

"Ian?!" The cat girl pretended to be surprised.

"How did you get into Caster's (magician's) room?"

"Didn't I show you the way?"

Having said this, Atalanta took all the responsibility on himself.
