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

Although the reasons for silence may not be exactly the same.

But at that moment, both of them realized something.

That is, the human skin grimoire in Gilles de Rais's possession, which he himself called the Silithid City Text, definitely has extremely special value.

otherwise--

It's impossible to unleash so much magic.

However, Gilles de Rais completely disregarded the feelings of the two people in front of him and continued speaking with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

"I'm asking you—"

"Is our Master a living, breathing person?"

Ian and Atalanta exchanged glances, neither of them immediately answering Gilles de Rais's question.

This seemed to displease him somewhat.

He gripped the Snail Annihilation City Bible tightly in his hand and shouted hysterically.

"answer me!"

"Is our Master even a living, breathing human being?!"

"..."

Although it seems that Gilles de Rais is somewhat obsessed.

But in order to obtain more information, Ian could only temporarily "go along" with his wishes.

"Of course it counts."

"She... is the real deal."

Upon hearing this answer, Gilles de Rais, who was usually calm and composed, suddenly seemed to lose control.

He held up the Luoyan City religious text and laughed loudly in the room.

"right!"

"I think so too! After all, that's the real Joan of Arc!"

"she--"

"Resurrected!"

Gilles de Rae's laughter was terrifying.

Atalanta became somewhat frightened.

She moved closer to Ian and then spoke with a hint of worry.

"He...what happened?"

"..."

Ian looked at Gilles de Rais in front of him and shook his head.

"I'm not so sure either."

"But it definitely doesn't look normal anymore."

"But don't be afraid... I'm here."

Atalanta blushed upon hearing this.

She nodded: "Yes, I'm not afraid."

After comforting the catgirl, the man once again asked Gilles de Rais:

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

What does it mean to be a 'genuine Joan of Arc'?

Upon hearing this question, Gilles de Rais remained in the same state as before.

No.

It should be said that it has become even more insane.

He looked at the two people in front of him, his expression twisted into an extremely ferocious one.

And what he said began to become incoherent.

"Oh...you guys don't seem to know, do you?"

"Joan of Arc...she was burned alive by the English!"

"The people here could have gone there to save her, so why isn't a single one of them going?!"

"She was burned to ashes, not a single thing was left! Not even her bones were left!"

"I hate France! I hate everyone here!"

"But that doesn't matter anymore—!"

Gilles de Rais gazed at the Snail City Bible he held high.

"Even an ordinary person like me, with just it and the Holy Grail, can change all of this!"

"Joan of Arc has been resurrected—! She will seek revenge! And she will make everyone regret their foolish decisions!"

"She will destroy France first, and then England!"

"The saint will surely lead us to our revenge—and then she will rebuild a perfect nation on the ruins of France!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Amid Gilles de Rais's almost maniacal laughter and incoherent words, Ian pieced together the truth of the whole affair bit by bit in his mind.

Same as singularity F.

This singularity, which existed during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, was also caused by the Holy Grail buried by Rafe.

Because the Holy Grail was in Gilles de Rais's hands, he and Joan of Arc were unable to find it back then.

but--

Gilles de Rais did not initially know the purpose of the Holy Grail.

The real trigger for all this was France's series of defeats in the war caused by England's dragon.

The invincible Joan of Arc appeared at this time, which made Gilles de Rais, an ordinary man, a devoted follower of hers.

Then came the trap in Domremi village.

This led to Joan of Arc being subjected to a so-called "public trial".

of course.

The trial was unsuccessful—because Joan of Arc was ultimately rescued by herself, who had transformed into a dragon.

But François Plelatti caused enormous damage when he revealed his true form.

Gilles de Rais, who rushed there upon hearing of the public trial, did not find Joan of Arc's body.

The combination of these two factors led him to believe that the saintess had been burned to ashes.

As an ordinary person, he blamed all of this on the lack of effort and inaction of the French nobles.

François Plelat, who had lost his mind after successfully escaping with Joan of Arc, handed over the scriptures of the City of Desolation to him for some unknown reason.

Ever since——

Through a series of coincidences, Gilles de Rais used the scriptures of the City of the Dead as a vessel to make a wish for Joan of Arc's resurrection to the Holy Grail, which he had obtained by chance.

But she never died, so there's no question of her resurrection.

Therefore, in order to "fulfill" this wish, the Holy Grail created another "Joan of Arc".

Because of Gilles de Rais's resentment, she was born with an extremely strong hostility towards France.

Because the City of Desolation was the vessel for summoning, she was also affected by François Plelati's anger, resulting in a partial loss of her mind and reason.

also--

Because it was "made" based on Joan of Arc, Black Joan of Arc naturally "inherited" some elements from her.

For example, they have almost identical appearances;

And the dragon in my memory;

And...that unethical feeling he had for himself.

The so-called Dragon Witch is nothing more than a product of the convergence of many resentments.

This is the truth behind the emergence of singularities!

239. A Night for Three / The Witch's Carnival Confession / A Secret Meeting (4k)

That same night.

Ian sat on the bed he shared with Jeanne d'Arc Alter, recalling Gilles de Rais's words one by one, his expression gradually becoming somewhat solemn.

The cause of the singularity has been found.

And it was far simpler than Ian had imagined—just a misunderstanding caused by a series of coincidences.

However, while the reason is simple, solving it is not an easy task.

To eliminate the singularity, the Holy Grail must be retrieved.

However, if one wants to obtain the Holy Grail, one will inevitably need Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who "possesses" it, to assist in obtaining it.

but--

Would she really be willing to do something like that?

Besides, would those Servants who came to this Hundred Years' War because of the Holy Grail be willing to do this?

Ian did not dare to draw any conclusions.

However, he was well aware that repairing the singularity was definitely not as simple as he had imagined.
