The short blade in her hand was held firmly before her as a snow-white figure was sent flying by a single blow, sliding backward for some distance after landing.
Looking at the peerlessly beautiful figure before her, Jing Ke found it hard to accept.
As an Assassin Class Servant, concealment and stealth were her specialties. Yet when she had been preparing to act, she had not even noticed the other party's presence!
No, she had seen her, but she had had no idea that she was also a Servant!
Glancing back at the two little girls, who had been frightened by the sudden turn of events and were now clinging to each other, Jing Ke inexplicably felt somewhat relieved.
Though it had been her Master's order, she was still deeply resistant to something like kidnapping little girls. It was merely that she was the only one suited for the task.
Since such a powerful enemy was protecting them, her Master should have nothing to say about her mission failure...
"Assassin, what is your purpose in coming here? The battlefield of the Holy Grail War is in Fuyuki City."
After knocking Jing Ke away, Jeanne did not press her advantage. Instead, she asked coldly.
By nature, she disliked killing, and she could tell that the Servant before her was not particularly willing to carry out this mission either.
"The Tohsaka Family's Servants are simply too powerful. If one of our companions hadn't noticed something was wrong, the three of us would have barely had a chance to escape against one of them."
Clearly, Jing Ke existed in an entirely different manner from Jeanne. She was an ordinary Servant of this world.
"So that is why you resorted to such despicable means as kidnapping their family. That is something I cannot permit."
