Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

"You scared me to death, you know that."

"I thought you'd never come back!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have chased you away—"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have chased you away!"

Black Jeanne held Bailong's head again and pressed her already dirty face against Shirataki's cheek.

She kept crying, her tears burning.

But the expression on his face gradually changed from sadness to joy, and from despair to expectation.

"Don't leave me, okay?"

She reached out and stroked the white dragon, her hoarse voice filled with cautious anticipation.

"I'll give you barbecue every day, so don't leave me, okay?!"

"You're all I have now—"

"If I lose you again, I will really have nothing!"

Chapter 91: She is soft except for her mouth

Black Joan of Arc's tears were like a sudden storm.

It came with such force that it seemed to wash away all the grievances and injustices in the world, extinguishing the flames of anger that had been burning within the witch.

But at the same time, it went away quietly.

It seemed as if everything happened in that instant - the wind stopped, the rain stopped, the dark clouds disappeared, and the sun came out.

A bright smile appeared on the witch's tear-stained face, creating the most beautiful scenery in the world.

But unfortunately, this scenery only lasts for a moment.

"I, I didn't cry."

"I just, I just choked on the fireworks!"

She tried to be tough, even when the ironclad facts were before her - that was just how she was, the only thing that was tough in her body was her mouth.

"Okay, let's go back!"

"It's just a few minor setbacks... We haven't lost yet!"

Black Jeanne d'Arc wiped her face with her hands again, and then that arrogant smile as always appeared on her face again.

——It turns out that fools also have their own advantages.

If it was Altria who encountered this kind of "betrayal by all the Knights of the Round Table" situation... her mentality would probably have collapsed long ago, right?

……

Shirataki returned to the Castle of Orleans with Black Jeanne.

Elizabeth and Qingji, who had been waiting here for almost two hours, gave Black Jeanne a new surprise.

"Ah, why are you here?!"

She asked with a delighted voice—but then she realized that this "surprise" didn't seem to fit in with her usual aloof persona. Her expression immediately changed, and she continued in a rather "disdainful" voice:

"You can see the situation here. I don't have anything to treat you right now."

"You'd better leave quickly. I think those traitors are searching the world for me. If you don't want to be implicated by me, leave this place immediately."

Black Joan of Arc started to "drive" people away again.

Hearing this, Shirataki rolled his eyes.

Her "tsundere" personality is sometimes really hard to deal with... Sometimes even she herself can't control the words that come out of her mouth.

——You clearly want them to stay, but you’re also worried that your current situation will involve them, right?

Fortunately, Elizabeth and Qingji are not the kind of people who care about such things.

In terms of personality, Elizabeth is a bit too extroverted and too self-centered. She can automatically block out things she doesn't like and force herself to communicate with others.

As for Kiyohime… on the surface, she's a cool, aloof Yamato Nadeshiko type, but in reality, she's also a complete paranoid. She only believes what she wants to believe, and her favorite thing to do is "you say yours, I do mine"—a strange personality that perfectly complements Black Jeanne's "mouthful hypocrisy but heartfelt integrity."

"I love this castle so much. Only a castle like this is worthy of a beautiful idol like me, right?!"

"I've decided to stay here!"

Elizabeth completely ignored Black Joan of Arc's words and ran directly in the castle.

She chose a room filled with her art collection and made it her new home.

"Those traitors... don't sound very friendly."

Qingji was thinking about the "enemy".

Here, we must understand this fact: she is a Heroic Spirit summoned by this land, and her mission is to correct this historical error... But at the same time, she is also a [Counter-Heroic Spirit] summoned to this world with the job of Berserker - her compatibility with those legitimate Heroic Spirits is extremely poor, basically at the level of "beat them up first, then find out more about the situation."

Now, when Qingji heard that those heroic spirits with a strong sense of justice had united to form a very formal team, she immediately made up her mind - she would never have any contact with those guys who sounded so righteous.

What about [Holy King], [Hero], [Saintess], [Saint], and so on... Letting a monster like her come into contact with these people? It would be better to let her die!

"Then I'll live here."

Qingji also chose a room that she liked.

This room is on the first floor, next to the garden, and you can see the garden scenery through the window.

"Hey, you guys, are you even listening to me?!"

Black Jeanne went a little crazy looking at the two monster lolis who didn't listen to what she was saying and were just busy choosing their own rooms.

——But it’s just madness.

She was annoyed by the two little guys' disobedience, but the final outcome moved her deeply. She had originally thought herself helpless and betrayed by the entire world, but not only did she finally find the little dragon that hadn't given up on her even in desperate situations, but she also found two "companions" who could now be called friends.

"Okay, it's decided. To celebrate moving into our new home, let's have a concert all night long tonight!"

"Shut up, Frilled Lizard! If you dare to sing I'll throw you out of here!"

"Lululu, you oriental bumpkin squirrel. Admit it, you're just jealous of my beautiful singing voice!"

An empty city and a brightly lit castle.

The sounds of the girls playing and fighting injected new vitality into this already dead world.

"Maybe this is not bad?"

Black Jeanne sat on a soft and comfortable chair and rubbed her head.

She was still thinking about how 5.7 would take revenge.

However, it was at this time——

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the castle.

A knock on the door at this hour? In a city that had become a ruin?

Black Jeanne d'Arc, who was originally lying down, sat up immediately.

Qingji and Elizabeth, who had just been bickering, also stopped fighting.

They all turned their heads and focused their attention on the magnificent door.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The knocking on the door continued.

At the same time, the voices of young girls talking were heard.

"It seems like no one is here, Mash?"

"No, there must be someone, Senior. I can sense the presence of magic inside."

"That should be a heroic spirit!"

Chapter 92: The Savior Who Came to Your Door

They were two girls from the 21st world.

With the lofty goal of "saving human history", we came to this era that has become a mess.

The last human master will, after going through numerous tests, gather his teammates, successfully defeat the final boss, and finally save this period of history - this is how the script was originally set up.

But when these two girls of similar age mustered up their courage and finally arrived at this era with an attitude of "sure to win", they discovered that things were not what they had imagined at all.

Save the world? Where in this world is there anything they need to save?

Not to mention the enemy, they couldn't even see a single person!

They walked for a whole day, passing through this doomsday-like land. Finally, at nightfall, they arrived at a large city and found a brightly lit castle in the city.

"How lucky I am to have found an inhabited castle before night falls."

"Ah~ There's even a bed! This is so comfortable!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka—a 26-year-old orange-haired girl who shoulders important responsibilities but is essentially an ordinary JK. After a long day of hard work, she lay down on the big bed in the castle, not wanting to get up at all.

"Senior, please be careful..."

Mashu was also in this room, sitting in a chair to recover a little.

But her spirit did not let down its guard.

She kept examining her surroundings, trying to find any traps that might be hidden in the room—her intuition told her that she seemed to have come to a very dangerous place.

But she had no evidence to prove this.

Oh, by the way, there is one more "little thing" that is not worth mentioning but that Mashu cares about very much.

Fufu, the fluffy white creature with long ears, entered the castle and suddenly ran to a white dragon, chatting with it.

That scene always gave Mashu a strong sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen this scene countless times before.

But when she thought about it carefully, she didn't know where this familiar feeling came from.

But it's not her fault.

After all, a year had passed since she left Britain.

She couldn't quite understand some things.

And more importantly, she simply couldn't connect the white dragon that once lifted up the entire British Isles with the small white dragon that was only three or four meters long.

——That’s not even the same species!

……

Orleans Castle, in the basement.

This was originally the castle's wine cellar, but was later transformed into a magic workshop by a magician.

Now, this place has become Black Jeanne's [Operation Meeting Room].

"So why did we choose such a dark place as a meeting room?"

Elizabeth was very dissatisfied with the dark environment around her - this dim environment did not conform to the gorgeous aesthetics she always advocated.

As a monster, Qingji actually likes this kind of environment - she was born in darkness and is destined to return to darkness.

As for Black Joan of Arc... she simply felt that she was planning a "shady" conspiracy, so she subconsciously chose this dark basement as the venue for the meeting.

"Mystery, understand? There has to be a sense of mystery!"

Black Joan of Arc glared at Elizabeth at first - but when she saw that Elizabeth's face had not changed at all, she simply stopped caring about these details.

"You should all know the identities of both of them, right?"

Black Jeanne d'Arc went straight to the point and expressed her opinion.

In her eyes, the purple-haired girl named Mash Kyrielight was actually nothing special—just a human transformed into a heroic spirit.
