In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

Besides.

Those who were rescued also seemed to have fallen into a kind of delirious state.

"is her!"

"is her!"

"She's back! She's back!"

"what?"

Mashu never expected things to turn out this way.

who is she? !

Who's back?!

Realizing something was wrong, the girl quickly called Ian.

"Senior...they've become so strange."

"..."

Hearing Mashu's anxious words, Ian came over with Fou.

But at that moment, something even more unexpected happened.

As soon as the man approached the survivors, they began to scream and acted erratically.

"He's back too!"

"They're all back!"

"Retribution! This is retribution from the Lord!"

After uttering words filled with terror, these people fainted one after another.

Mashu was completely taken aback by Non's situation and panicked immediately.

Ian could guess some of the reasons for this.

He was Joan of Arc's brother in this era, and had long been sentenced to the abhorrent punishment of burning at the stake by the English in that trial.

In their eyes, they were already dead, but now they suddenly appeared here.

Anyone would be somewhat surprised, and it's perfectly normal to regard all of this as "God's retribution."

only--

What Ian cared about wasn't that, but the previous sentence.

"They're all back."

Ok?

Judging from this tone, it seems that he is not the first to "retribution".

Thinking about it this way—

Did Joan of Arc return here?!

She might be nearby!

Ian discovered that he seemed to know some incredible information.

"senior?"

"senior?!"

"senior!!!"

Mashu called out to Ian three times before pulling him out of his thoughts.

"I'm sorry... I was daydreaming."

The man, regaining his senses, apologized.

"Don't apologize yet!" Mashu pointed anxiously at the villagers on the ground. "They've all fainted!"

"What should we do?"

"..."

Ian looked at the village that was still burning fiercely, and then glanced at the villagers who had fainted on the ground.

"It's fine."

"It's just a matter of physical exhaustion... I'll recover after a short rest."

"is it?"

Although she had a feeling that things weren't so simple, Mash stopped doubting anything after hearing Ian's explanation.

However, her expression did not relax.

In contrast, the pink-haired girl seemed even more remorseful.

Her eyes reflected the image of the village, which had been completely engulfed in flames.

“…Yeah.”

"Sigh... I wish I could be faster."

"That way, we can definitely save more people."

"..."

Hearing this, Ian gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"It's not your problem."

"After all, no one expected the dragon to launch a surprise attack on this village."

"and--"

Ian glanced at the villagers who had fainted on the ground and temporarily suppressed his hatred.

"If it weren't for you, they would be dead inside by now."

"..."

Mashu knew Ian was trying to comfort her, and nodded silently.

The man understood that this wasn't a mindset that could be changed overnight, so he didn't say anything more and simply hugged her silently.

This is the warmest companionship.

A while passed.

The girl's emotions finally stabilized somewhat.

She looked at the ruins of the village of Dom Remy, which were gradually cooling down, and began to speak.

"Senior... the dragons of this era don't seem to be very friendly."

"..."

Ian stroked her hair and asked softly.

"Why do you think so?"

"because--"

Mashu's voice softened slightly.

"The dragon attacked here suddenly... without any warning, it just suddenly spewed out powerful flames."

"It feels like they want to destroy the whole village."

"Do they... hate humanity?"

"..."

Mash's words made Ian fall into deep thought again.

Everything needs a reason.

Of course, the dragon wouldn't attack Donremi Village for no reason.

This means that they took such action for some reason.

If we consider it from this perspective—

They may have been driven (or ordered) by someone to appear here.

If someone wants to destroy the village, it means they harbor hatred towards this place.

And who is most likely to harbor such intense hatred for the village of Domrémy? The best answer is obviously himself and Joan of Arc.

But this has led to new problems.

That means neither of them actually had the necessary conditions to accomplish this.

The reason is simple.

Having had some dealings with Long Suan, I was not present at this time, so naturally I had no possibility of issuing orders.

Joan of Arc, who existed during this period, did not have a way to deal with dragons, and of course, could not command them.

Furthermore, and more importantly...

That means it's highly unlikely that Joan of Arc would do such a thing.

She is just too kind.

Until the moment she was separated from him, she, who had been deceived because of her kindness, never mentioned the word "revenge".

In this way——

Then we have to consider a third possibility.

There was a person who knew how to deal with dragons and harbored strong hostility towards the village of Domremi, so he drove the dragon to commit this act.

That explains everything.

So--

Could this person be English?
