"I see." Joan of Arc nodded.

"That--"

"After we get back, I'll be asking you to take good care of him as his girlfriend~"

“I will!” Mashu replied very seriously. “I will definitely take good care of you, Senpai!”

"but--"

The pink-haired girl's gaze returned to the breathtaking wedding dress worn by Joan of Arc, and she felt a touch of envious shyness.

"Miss Joan of Arc, may I ask you a question?"

“Of course,” the saintess answered without hesitation.

"That--"

Mashu spoke rather cautiously.

What is your relationship with your senior?

"You two... you've only met for the first time, right? Yet you can get married like this... that's amazing."

"..."

As a similarly perceptive person, Jeanne quickly sensed the feelings Mashu was hiding in her words.

As the separation drew near, she felt that there were some things she could be honest about.

“Mash, actually… I’m his sister.”

"Hey, little sister?!"

“Yes.” Joan of Arc nodded. “To be more precise, now we also need to add the status of a wife.”

"This……"

Before Mashu could ask any more questions, the device that could communicate with Chaldea suddenly rang.

Olga's voice came from inside.

"Mash?! Ritsuka?! Ian?!"

"Can you hear me?!"

"The singularity you are in is very unstable right now. You must evacuate as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing Olga Marie's warning, Mash realized that Ian's recent contact with the Holy Grail might have triggered some mechanism.

Although Joan of Arc didn't quite understand the situation, she could sense the seriousness of the matter from Olga Marie's slightly anxious tone.

She said:

"It seems——"

"It's time to leave."

"Yes……"

"Then as soon as possible."

Joan of Arc was never the kind of person who dragged things out.

"We finally managed to resolve everything, so we can't afford to stumble at the last minute."

"……I see,"

Despite her many doubts, Mashu stopped questioning when faced with the woman in the wedding dress who claimed to be Ian's sister.

She immediately responded to Olga Marie, and then told Ian what had happened.

Soon, everything will be ready.

The beam of light capable of quantum teleportation appeared in front of the Chaldea squad.

With endless nostalgia for this time, Ian kissed his two sisters once more, and then, under their watchful eyes, walked into the pillar of light.

The man's figure eventually disappeared.

The singularity also began to fall apart after losing the support of the Holy Grail.

As the environment gradually descended into chaos, Jeanne Alter lamented something else entirely.

"Sister, I'm so reluctant to part with Ian."

“Me too,” Joan of Arc replied to her sister.

"But I believe we will definitely meet him again... it'll just be a little later."

"really?"

"Really, sister."

"Alright, I'll trust you this once."

In the church, the two Joan of Arcs, dressed in wedding gowns, gradually faded away, their love lingering.

The flow of time and space, which had been blocked by the Hundred Years' War between England and France, gradually began to return to normal.

Everything vanished, as if it had never existed.

——Diving——

--rise--

--wake--

Ian opened his eyes and found himself back in Chaldea.

Olga Marie, Dr. Roman, and Leonardo da Vinci were standing in front of the squad.

Upon seeing the return of the two Masters and two Servants, Dr. Roman's lips curled into a small smile, and then he clapped.

Soon, the rest of the people joined in the applause.

This is the most simple yet sincere welcome at this moment.

"Welcome back." Leonardo da Vinci looked at the crowd before him, his eyes filled with emotion.

"It's really nice to see you all standing here..."

"Yes."

Dr. Roman echoed Leonardo da Vinci's words.

"Exploring singularities is much more difficult than we imagined."

"From the initial loss of contact to the subsequent betrayal, I thought it was all over."

Fortunately, everyone returned safely in the end.

"As expected—you are the beings who can save humanity."

Unlike the extremely straightforward praise from Leonardo da Vinci and Dr. Roman, this is...

Olga Marie looked at the small team in front of her, her face flushed, as if she had a lot to say.

But in the end, she could only manage to squeeze out one sentence.

"Welcome back, Huan."

But that's enough.

Mordred was the first to shout it out:

"I'm so tired!"

"I want to go back and rest!"

What was originally a warm and cozy scene instantly turned into a solo performance by her.

Everyone looked at this straightforward troublemaker with smiles in their eyes.

"W-what?!" Mordred seemed embarrassed.

"Now that the mission is complete, isn't it normal to take a good rest?"

"I get tired too!"

"..."

To ease Mordred's embarrassment, Mash quickly stretched as well.

Then, she pretended to be very tired and smoothed things over for the other person:

"Mordred is right, I'm tired too."

"I really want to get some rest."

"Should we... go back to our rooms first?"

“Of course,” Dr. Roman replied with a smile. “It’s your right.”

"That--"

Mashu looked at Mordred beside her and cautiously extended an invitation to her.

"Xiao Mo, let's go~"

"..."

Having gone through so much, Mordred no longer disliked Mash as much.

Moreover, she felt that the other party's servile and obsequious manner was rather pitiful.

He simply admired his father for being a hero.

This is perfectly normal; what's wrong with it?

"Okay, let's go rest!"

Ever since——

Mordred and Mash, who had just returned to Chaldea, headed towards one of the few rest rooms available.

Fujimaru Ritsuka intended to follow, but then she noticed something.

She noticed that Olga Marie had approached Ian—and her eyes seemed a little off.
