"...It's okay, please continue."
Jiang You had no way of explaining why humans, as creatures, both praised and rejected virtues.
"As a result, she became a target of attack just like me. Among those bad boys, there was a red-haired writer who accused Jeanne of being a witch."
Ti's mother was furious. The child's identity had been officially certified, yet they were still able to turn the tables.
"Joan of Arc has done such a good job. Isn't it infuriating?"
"Shakespeare..."
Considering that this person had done even more outrageous things in history, Jiang You felt that it was quite normal. How could servants from hostile countries miss the opportunity to take advantage of someone's misfortune?
"Speaking of which, this child's appearance."
Tima pointed at Hei Zhen who was sleeping on the ground. "That guy wrote something with his Noble Phantasm. I took a quick look at the page that flew out, and it said something like 'Burning Witch'."
"That explains it."
Black Jeanne's first appearance was due to the Marshal, but her appearance here was due to various coincidences, allowing this previously recorded non-existent spirit to successfully manifest. Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm recreates Black Jeanne's flames and witch-related elements.
"I'll have to thank him properly then."
"I'm afraid there's no chance."
Tim's mother was still fuming. Clearly, Shakespeare wasn't a good book. "Mom, I can't stand this. He was yelling 'Let the witch make a grand exit,' and so on, so I just let him go. I was really angry at the time, so I hit him a little too hard. I'm a little ashamed of myself..."
"Understandable."
Jiang You spoke these words without burden this time. Before certain people showed up, Shakespeare was the mastermind behind Chaldea's activities, a skilled troublemaker. Even Jiang You had to say, "Good death!" A fourth-rate Servant like Shakespeare would be wiped out by Tima's full-strength attack.
"Let's pause the story for a moment. The problem now is... we need to find her some clothes."
Jiang You looked at Hei Zhen on the ground and frowned. It seemed that there was something wrong with the harmony system.

Chapter 475: Heizhen, you are here to join our family.
"Unfamiliar ceiling..."
When Heizhen opened her eyes, she found herself in a place similar to a library. The walls around her were made up of bookshelves, but the rest of the layout looked like a living room. The velvet bed was very comfortable, even more upscale than the palace she had seized in France at the time.
Black Jeanne only remembers being defeated by the Chaldeans. She wasn't Jeanne d'Arc, but a complete fake. Logically, her existence should have dissipated, and there was no way she could have manifested. Another point: "Could you please not dub me without my permission? Where's the ceiling for this place?"
Indeed, looking up, there is only the vast starry sky. Maybe Paopao likes this tune, and Jiang You likes it too.
"Isn't this what you should say when you wake up?"
Jiang You felt that Heizhen was in good condition.
"What is that? It sounds so boring."
Heizhen lifted the quilt on herself with dissatisfaction, and she found that she was wearing a purple evening dress. She subconsciously took out her flag, which was actually a spear, and her other hand also held a one-handed sword. The one-handed sword instantly burst into flames representing anger and revenge. She stared at Jiang You with hostility.
"You helped me change this dress? You have really bad taste."
The truth is that Heizhen was very satisfied with the dress, and it suited her taste in every aspect. But when she thought that it was this strange man who changed her clothes, she felt very disgusted. She would never admit that she liked this dress very much.
Soon, the burning flames spread from Black Zhennu to toe, and her dress turned into a black outfit, which was the opposite of the White Zhennu's attire. She even put on a black cloak with fur edges to add to her aura.
"Isn't this your own preference?"
Jiang You thought that he had reproduced this dress 1.5.1:1 based on the Shinjuku evening dress from 1, so how could he not be satisfied with it? Moreover, Hei Zhen couldn't hide her expression, and it was obvious that she liked it. This time she didn't have to go through the sewer wearing this dress.
"And I didn't change these clothes, don't worry. It's a female Servant... In a sense, she can be considered your mother?"
Jiang You had indeed finished reading it, but to be honest, he was not the one who changed the clothes.
"Nonsense! Where does my mother come from?"
Hei Zhe raised her spear, but she still felt a little powerless, a sense of powerlessness as if she had been asleep for a long time. She did have the same memories as Bai Zhen, but she was not the real Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc's mother was not her mother, and that person could not appear as a Heroic Spirit.
"Then you can't have popped out of a stone, right?"
The only one who deserved this kind of treatment was a certain monkey. "Your existence began when a certain Gildre created a semblance of a dragon witch based on his own desires and fantasies, albeit without dragon attributes. But after dissipating, even a Servant must still conform to the law of conservation of matter, right? There must be some reason for you to be reborn into this world."
Black Zhen only had a few memories of her own. She looked at the strange man before her. Although she had never met him before, he accurately described what happened in the singularity. Furthermore, he even knew her preferences, something that even Gildre's bulging eyes couldn't fathom. This showed that he truly understood her. She immediately believed Jiang You's words.
"In other words, someone recreated me... Humph, expecting me to call you family in this way is simply wishful thinking. What is your purpose? If it's another boring thing like revenge against France, forget it. That's not my business."
Her hatred for France remained, a foundational element in her role as an Avenger. However, having already experienced this once, she now felt nothing but emptiness. She herself was a fake, and so was her hatred. She found it utterly ridiculous that the pure, white, naive woman had no desire for revenge against the nation that had burned her to death and denied her efforts. She also felt completely ridiculous.
"To be precise, your appearance this time was also an accident..."
Jiang You thought about it and decided to tell Black Jeanne the truth. He no longer needed Black Jeanne as a combat force. Even the deck given by Wang Hassan was basically useless, let alone this Black Jeanne.
"Huh? Just for this ridiculous reason?"
Heizhen imagined hearing Jiang You say he was joking, but Jiang You's confident expression made her accept the reality.
"That's the truth. I never thought I'd see you."
Black Jeanne was indeed very popular, and if Jiang You had the chance, he would definitely take the initiative to find her. However, when he met Gudako, she had already advanced to the sixth singularity, leaving him with no chance at all. This encounter was simply a pleasant surprise.
"It's like I'm cheap."
Hei Zhen complained dissatisfiedly. She didn't think about showing up, right? "Since I've said so much about me, what about you? Who are you?"
"Wow, you have no manners at all."
Jiang You felt that his good intentions were obvious, so why didn't this person have anything nice to say? However, thinking that this girl was just a good girl pretending to be a little gangster, Jiang You didn't have any objections.
"As for me, if you acknowledge Tiramat as your mother, I should be considered your sworn brother, right?"
"what?"
Heizhen hadn't expected to meet someone who claimed to be related to her right away in her short life. "I won't acknowledge her as my mother just for this reason, but since you've given me the opportunity, I'll tell her that she'll be under my protection from now on. So who are you, kid? Don't change the subject."
"You are the first one to say you want to protect Tiramat. You are very brave."
Black Jeanne had no idea of the differences between Heroic Spirits. In her earlier days, she relied on the Holy Grail's blessing and summoned a horde of berserker Servants to turn France upside down, leading to her becoming quite arrogant. Even the renowned Siegfried was nearly defeated by her. Jiang You said she would behave herself when she saw Tiramat.
"As for me, my name is Jiang You, a first-class servant. We will be a family from now on. Consider that evening gown as my gift to you."
"A first-class Servant?"
Heizhen kept glancing at Jiang You. Jiang You didn't use any inherent skills at the moment, so his aura wasn't very dangerous.
"Can't tell, is that just you?"
Jiang You was being modest when he called himself a first-rate Servant. He was now a true Lord God. Even without a Duel Noble Phantasm, most Servants would find it difficult to gain an advantage in a melee with him. Jiang You's biggest problem now was his lack of offensive means. Ultimately, victory or defeat would depend on his Noble Phantasm.
But now, Jiang You does have the ability to coerce. Seeing Hei Zhen's disdainful eyes, Jiang You decided to bully her a little bit. Then, Jiang You used his inherent skill [Blindly Eating Fish]
Heizhen felt the air around her thicken, as if a thousand-pound boulder weighed down her chest. Every breath she took required an effort. The seemingly harmless young man before her suddenly became like a black hole, dragging her rationality and cognition into the abyss.
"Now, can you prove it?"
Jiang You looked at the nearly fainted Hei Zhen and smiled as he deactivated his passive. He had previously lacked the ability to show off his strength to other Servants, but now it was so powerful that any ordinary Servants who came even a little closer would be stripped of their rationality and sent back to the Throne of Heroes. He still couldn't show off freely, otherwise any ordinary Servants would be sent away by him.
Heizhen was breathing heavily. In just a few seconds, her back was soaked with cold sweat. The other party just showed his momentum and gave her the illusion that she had survived a disaster.
"Hehehe, a first-class Servant?"
Black Zhen was almost laughing out of anger, "If this is a first-rate servant, then what am I? A joke?"
"Jiang You, you are also a bad boy!"
Jiang You was suddenly hit on the back of his head, and then he saw Ti Ma walking in with a casserole that was half a person's height.
"As soon as I came in, I saw you bullying Hei Zhen. Can you please be a little more responsible as a brother? She's still so young."
Kuro Zhenguang does look quite mature, but when you think about it, it seems that he is not even one year old.
"Isn't this just to show her my strength? She said before that she would protect you."
Jiang You directly exposed Black Jeanne's true colors. Tiramat was the type who never restrained her aura, and Black Jeanne also felt a huge pressure from her. This made her blush, and she once again confirmed the fact that she was just a low-level Servant.
"Come to think of it, Tima, you are also a dragon, and Black Zhen is the dragon witch, so it is indeed quite suitable."
"Good boy, but I am strong, don't worry. It's you who still needs my protection."
After all, the current Heizhen was born from the primordial womb sea, which is a bit similar to Jingu in a sense. It is obviously more appropriate for her to call herself mother in front of Jiang You and Tima than Jiang You.
"You're still very weak now. I made you some chicken soup. Drink it while it's hot."
Jiang You even saw a snake head in the casserole. Tima wasn't so confused about the difference between a chicken and a snake; this thing might be some monster called a snaketail chicken. Tima was truly worthy of her name; even a hot pot was a fantasy.
Heizhen had never actually experienced family love, and the scene of someone taking care of her when she was sick made her a little overwhelmed. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to reject Ti Ma's kindness.
"I... I'm not your child... This soup shouldn't be given to me. Besides, a servant doesn't need this kind of thing..."
"Mom, did I do something wrong?"
Tima tilted her head, "This soup contains a lot of magic power, and it's also a great tonic for servants. Why refuse it?"
"You did nothing wrong."
Hei Zhen retreated subconsciously. She could burn the enemy to death without hesitation, but she became hesitant when faced with other people's kindness.
"But I'm not your daughter..."
"No, you are."
Tim's mother acted very tough, "Everyone in this world is my child! And to me, you are also very special."
"what?"
Heizhen was a little dizzy. What was going on? Even she knew that humans were born from the union of mother and father (?). How could a girl with horns say that she was the mother of all things?
"Let me explain."
Jiang You took over the topic. In a sense, what Ti Ma said was true. Considering that Bai Zhen's education level was inherited by Hei Zhen, it was understandable that she did not understand the myth.
"Before you is the Mother Goddess of Creation, Tiamat..."
Next, Jiang You briefly explained the mythology and power of Tiamat.
"So, even if you weren't created in the Primordial Sea, she's still your mother. Not to mention, you were born from her Primordial Black Mud combined with Jeanne's spiritual essence. To be precise, you now have two mothers."
Jiang You couldn't help himself when he thought of Heizhen calling Baizhen mom. The scene was a little bit difficult to hold.
"Is...is that so?"
Looking at the black-haired young man and the white-haired girl with enormous horns, Hei Zhen felt a moment of confusion. She should have disappeared immediately, but suddenly, in a bizarre way, she joined a family of extremely powerful Servants.
"Yes, that's it. Come on, dear boy, call me mom."
Tiamat embraced Black Jeanne and placed her on her chest. In her eyes, Black Jeanne was like a sensitive and timid little black cat who needed care to let down her guard.
"..."
Heizhen struggled. She agreed with Jiang You's statement (it was true, and he was easy to coax), but calling a little girl who looked a generation younger than her and whom she had only just met for less than ten minutes her mother was a little hard for her to accept. But the warmth in her body and the longing in her heart were undeniable. After opening and closing her mouth several times, she finally timidly called out the words.
"mom……"
"Good boy!"
This sentence made Ti Ma happier than Jiang You's perfunctory call. She immediately pushed Hei Zhen back onto the bed and brought a small dining table suitable for placing on the bed.
"You haven't adapted to this body yet, so now's the time to replenish your nutrients (and mana). Come, drink it all. Don't waste it."
"All, everything?"
Heizhen stared at the half-man-high casserole in disbelief. The chicken soup did indeed exude an alluring aroma, but the half-man-high casserole also had a very striking visual impact. The total volume of this thing was probably larger than Heizhen herself.
"Yes, all of it. Even if Jiang You wanted it, I wouldn't give it to him! This is for patients only."
Tima nodded, she was still a little worried that she had done too little.
"This...this is a bit."
But Tima didn't give her a chance to speak and handed her a spoon full of chicken soup.
"Drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold. And some of the nutrients will be lost."
Tima kept stuffing spoonful after spoonful into Heizhen's mouth.
Jiang You looked at Hei Zhen's pleading gaze and could only respond with a helpless gesture. Ti Ma was afraid that Jiang You would be upset by his interjection. He had come to apologize to Ti Ma today, so he would not disturb her maternal instincts.
