Type-Moon Crown Master Chapter 42

"Ah... Master, I truly am..." Kiyohime bowed apologetically to Su Mo, begging him not to abandon his incompetent self.

Hmm... why did she even think Su Mo would abandon her? But that wasn't important anymore. The French soldiers surrounding them began to move!

"Lancelot, crush them for me!" Su Mo said calmly. The next moment, the shadow that had been standing behind him began to move.

"Roar roar roar!!!"

A beast-like howl rang out as Lancelot, having received his orders, charged at the French soldiers.

"Wait, remember to use the flat of your blade!"

Although Su Mo changed his command at the last second, was it because Lancelot's strength was monstrous? After all, he was a four-star Berserker with higher base stats than Uncle B.

Thus, after a flurry of slashes against the French soldiers, the surroundings were soon a mess of blood and torn flesh. Only one French soldier remained, his eyes wide with panic as he stared at Lancelot as if he were a monster.

"Say, can you tell me how to get to the nearest town?" Su Mo asked the surviving French soldier with a gentle smile after having Lancelot stand down.

"I will not yield! Kill me or flay me as you wish!" Seeing Lancelot retreat to the side, the soldier's confidence surged. As if possessed by a martyr, he yelled at Su Mo.

"Lancelot, you know what to do. Don't kill him."

Seeing that the man still hadn't learned his lesson, Su Mo decided not to waste any more pleasantries and had Lancelot step forward to scare him again.

The next moment, the formerly resolute soldier spilled everything before Su Mo could even ask.

"Senpai, I believe what you did just now was wrong. We should have communicated with them properly instead of scaring them. And Mr. Lancelot, too. Senpai told you to use the flat of your blade, so why did you kill people?" After seeing the surviving French soldier off, Mash scolded Su Mo and Lancelot sternly.

"Fou~ Chirp!" Fou seemed to protest Su Mo's rough methods as well.

Su Mo was about to retort but found himself speechless, eventually just shaking his head and sighing.

"Master, you don't need to be sad about this. Even if the whole world thinks your actions are wrong, I will still stand by your side!"

Linking her arm through Su Mo's, Kiyohime put on a wifely demeanor and said to him.

"Thank you, Kiyohime. But speaking of which, Mash, do you remember what that soldier said earlier?"

"Yes. A few days ago, the 'Jeanne d'Arc' who was burned to death miraculously revived and is now leading a dragon's vengeful rampage against this country. King Charles also died at the hands of the 'Dragon Witch'."

"That's false. Jeanne d'Arc was a saint in history, someone who prayed for peace. She wouldn't be so easily consumed by revenge. If what that soldier said is true, then the one who appeared must be a fake Jeanne!"

Understanding the plot and knowing that it was Black Saber, Su Mo quickly defended the real Jeanne d'Arc.

"Then, Senpai, what should we do next? Also, according to what that soldier said, the 'Dragon Witch' killed the king of this country. So, no matter how you look at it, the 'Dragon Witch' is the key figure in this Singularity."

"Our next move, naturally, is to follow what the soldier said and head to the city he mentioned to gather some information. Besides, it's getting late, so let's go to that city and spend the night," Su Mo answered Mash's question matter-of-factly.

"But... Senpai, you just killed their comrades. If we go there rashly like this, they'll surely mistake us for accomplices of the 'Dragon Witch' and attack us," Mash said with some worry.

"Do you want Master to spend the night out in the wilderness? Miss Mash, Master is different from us; he needs a comfortable resting environment!"

Kiyohime discontentedly dismissed Mash's statement. Just like her setting, as long as she and "Master" were together, the rest of the world didn't matter. Her thoughts naturally centered around "Master."

"That's true... But Senpai, if the soldiers attack us when we get to the city, what should we do?"

"If they attack us, then we can only fight back," Su Mo replied coldly to Mash's question, leading the group towards the distant city.
