Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to ask him further questions, the small device that had previously been unable to contact Chaldea suddenly became active.

Shila-

Olga Marie's voice came through.

"Hey! Fujimaru Ritsuka! Can you hear me?"

Sensing that the other party was in a hurry, Fujimaru Ritsuka had no choice but to focus her attention on this side for the time being.

"Chief, I can hear you."

"..."

Seemingly bothered by the title "Director," Olga Marie paused for a moment before continuing.

"Great, I've finally managed to get in touch with you."

“Listen, Fujimaru Ritsuka, you should be in France in June 1431.”

“Hmm…I know,” Fujimaru Ritsuka replied. “Jeanne d’Arc is right here with me.”

"Ah, what!"

Olga Marie exclaimed in surprise.

"Ritsuka, don't play such a silly joke on me!"

"I'm not kidding...she just saved me."

"This—?" The young director still couldn't quite accept it.

Realizing that this situation might go on indefinitely, Jeanne thought for a moment and then walked directly to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side.

She began to talk to the little thing that she had no idea what it was.

"Hello, I am Jeanne Darc."

“I can vouch for Ritsuka Fujimaru.”

"..."

Upon realizing that Fujimaru Ritsuka had indeed encountered Joan of Arc, Olga Marie became even more nervous than before.

Because Joan of Arc during this period should have been burned at the stake, as Pan-Human History suggests.

The young director thought for a long time before arriving at an answer that could convince himself.

"You... have you become a 'Servant'?"

The word "servant" was mentioned again, but Joan of Arc's answer remained the same as before.

"Do not."

"I am not a Servant."

"I am just an ordinary French nun."

"..."

"Ah, wait! Mashu's signal is working again. I'll contact you later!"

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

Olga Marie's voice disappeared in an instant.

Only three people from this era remained, gazing at each other.

but--

The previous problems did not disappear with the disappearance of the sound.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Jeanne d'Arc in front of her and returned to the question she had asked at the beginning.

"Um...you just said you think there are things that could be called 'singularities'?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"this."

As Joan of Arc answered Fujimaru Ritsuka, she rolled up her sleeves.

Several red marks were clearly visible on the back of her hand.

"A few days ago... I had a dream."

"In my dream, I heard a voice saying that I would be given the power to accomplish certain things."

"When I woke up, they were on the back of my hand."

"I can feel it guiding me to somewhere."

“I didn’t know what this meant before… but now that I’ve heard you say this, I’m wondering if it could be a ‘singularity’?”

"I see."

Mordred nodded thoughtfully.

"It's been enhanced! No wonder it could defeat the dragon in one move!"

"..."

"Ritsuka, why are you staring at her hands?"

"nothing."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked back at the back of her hand.

"I just feel like the thing Joan of Arc has looks a lot like the one I have..."

"what?"

Upon hearing what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, Mordred immediately compared the marks on the backs of the two people's hands.

"Eh--!"

"They are exactly the same."

"I know a little bit." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

"These are Command Seals exclusive to the Master."

"Uh... what is that?" Joan of Arc asked, puzzled.

"I don't know how to explain it either." Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was only half-baked, scratched her cheek.

"In short, it's something that only appears after you make a contract with a Heroic Spirit and turn them into a Servant."

"I think it was also related to the Holy Grail War."

"this?"

Joan of Arc, born during the Hundred Years' War, was completely bewildered.

Limited by her knowledge, she had no idea about Command Seals, Contracts, or the Holy Grail War.

But she realized one thing—that the marks on the back of her hand were not unique.

"So...it wasn't a revelation from the Lord to me?"

The saintess's expression appeared somewhat forlorn at this moment.

—Sizzle—

The device in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand stirred again, and Olga Marie's anxious voice came from inside.

"Ritsuka, something seems wrong!"

"Mash also said she encountered Joan of Arc... and even kidnapped Ian from over there!"

"What?!" Mordred exclaimed excitedly, "Someone kidnapped my dad?!"

"Your father?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mordred with a puzzled expression.

"Uh...because my Master secretly likes me to call him Dad!"

"So I just blurted it out unconsciously now~"

"Uh, hey!"

In a forced attempt to explain, Mordred awkwardly shifted the blame onto Ian, who wasn't even present.

What she didn't know was that Fujimaru Ritsuka not only didn't suspect anything, but secretly kept those words in mind.

"So... he likes to play this kind of game?"

The girl licked her lips, seemingly having devised some kind of plan.

"There's another me?"

Upon hearing the information, Joan of Arc was initially surprised, but quickly realized that it might be related to the sound.

"In that case——"

"Why don't we meet up with Mashu first?"

"This way, it will be safer."

Upon hearing Joan of Arc's suggestion, Mordred and Fujimaru Ritsuka exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Yes!" they both answered in unison.

And so, the three who met by chance began to head towards Mash's location, following Olga Marie's directions.

Let's turn back time to the present.

Saladari.

This is a border city.

After a period of flight, the evil dragon ridden by Jeanne Alter arrived here.

Clearly, she has completely taken control of this place.
