"...Jeanne d'Arc."
The blond girl was somewhat surprised by the boy's strange shift from arrogance to deference, but she took it as a sign of his devotion to the Lord.
"All right."
Jeanne d'Arc nodded in satisfaction. "If you don't mind, please allow me to accompany you."
"Great! Let's hurry. This way, Jeanne Duo."
"I told you, it's Jeanne d'Arc! You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Jeanne d'Arc followed in Shirou's footsteps.
As the supervisor, Ruler was not supposed to have too much involvement with either the "Red" or "Black" Servants. That would compromise fairness.
However, Shirou was no ordinary one of the seven Servants. He was an Extra, just like her.
Jeanne d'Arc felt that this was a perfect opportunity to investigate this Keeper's background and find out exactly why he had manifested for this ritual.
Of course, what Jeanne d'Arc did not know was that Shirou had his own ulterior motive.
Since she was a saint of Catholicism, she should be very good at preaching, right?
Shirou thought it was worth a try—
He would have Jeanne d'Arc help him properly educate Sajyou Manaka.
Volume Five, 202: Aika: You Two Might as Well Kill Me
A hotel in Sighisoara.
The platinum-haired girl sat on the edge of the bed, anxiously watching the second hand on the slowly ticking clock.
It was eight o'clock at night.
The time they had agreed on had long since passed.
"Saber... Is he all right?"
The battle had taken place half an hour ago. Aika had sensed the disturbance in the streets immediately.
Saber was fighting someone.
His opponent was powerful. Even in this Holy Grail War filled with brilliant stars, Lancer possessed overwhelming, anomalous strength.
Aika had wanted to rush out and see what was happening, or help her Servant.
