Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Moreover, one was in the open and the other in the dark. Amakusa Tokisadarou probably already knew most of Danic's preparations, while Danic himself knew nothing about him.

If Joan of Arc hadn't told him, he might never have known that he was facing Ruler in the Third Holy Grail War until his next death.

"Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, the saint of the Far East?"

Everyone present frowned. They truly hadn't expected that the Red Master they were facing was also a Heroic Spirit, a Servant.

Fiore turned her gaze to Joan of Arc and asked a question.

"Ruler, what are your thoughts on Amakusa Tokisada Shiro?"

Fiore raised this question primarily because Joan of Arc was a famous Catholic who was revered as a saint.

Amakusa Tokisada Shiro happens to be a Catholic, and both of them are Ruler-class members, so most people would assume that there is some connection between them.

Perhaps they even exchanged ideas in Valhalla.

However, when Fiore asked about the exit, she realized she had asked the wrong question.

Although both sides were Catholic, one was located in the Far East and the other in France, so there was no opportunity for them to communicate.

“I met him once on the battlefield, and all I can say is that Amakusa Tokisada Shiro is an extremely terrifying man.”

Joan of Arc made this assessment of Amakusa Tokisada Shiro.

What's terrifying about them isn't their strength or how cunning they are.

What makes Amakusa Tokisada Shiro truly terrifying is his unwavering belief in saving all of humanity.

During that encounter, Joan of Arc also fought Amakusa Tokisadarou. If Red Assassin hadn't arrived in time, Amakusa Tokisadarou might have already died under Joan of Arc's banner.

Even under the threat of death, Amakusa Tokisada Shiro still wore a smile, seemingly unconcerned about his impending demise.

Joan of Arc admired, but also dreaded, someone who could face death with a smile.

What kind of belief could allow someone to be so indifferent to death?

Joan of Arc could sense that it wasn't that Tendangusa Tokisada Shirou believed his servant could save her, but rather that he genuinely wasn't afraid of death.

According to Amakusa Tokisada Shiro.

"My wish to save all mankind is something that can only be accomplished by a miracle."

"If I die here, it might be God telling me that my wish is not worth fulfilling."

Such madness, such conviction, even Joan of Arc admired.

"His existence has completely disrupted the Holy Grail War and even interfered with the world. As a Heroic Spirit, this is not allowed."

Joan of Arc replied to Fiore's question in this way.

"So, Ruler, do you intend to intervene in the Holy Grail War?"

Fiore looked at Joan of Arc with some surprise. She knew that the Black Faction had tried to recruit Ruler many times before without success. If Joan of Arc could join the Black Faction's camp, their chances of victory would be even greater.

"That's all we can do."

Joan of Arc sighed and nodded.

"The Red Team is basically controlled by Amakusa Tokisada Shirou. I have no chance of winning against Rider and Assassin. Moreover, the hidden Jack the Ripper is also someone I must defeat. She has seriously violated the rules of the Holy Grail War by harming innocent people. Even if she doesn't manifest as Ruler, I cannot ignore such a thing."

Jeanne d'Arc actually had another option, which was the Master of Hassan the Cursed Arm. However, Jeanne d'Arc had already offended Hassan the Cursed Arm in order to protect Shirou Emiya, so she had basically given up the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Hassan the Cursed Arm Master.

Adding to the eerie aura emanating from Hassan's Cursed Arm, Jeanne also concluded that its Master might not be an upright person either.

Previously, even when Amakusa Shiro Tokisada used his servants to kill her, Joan of Arc did not consider them enemies.

Now, Joan of Arc truly begins to regard Amakusa Shiro Tokisada as an enemy.

Joan of Arc's stance has also become clear.

Therefore, the Ruler, who was supposed to ensure the smooth conduct of the Holy Grail War rituals, has instead devoted himself to the Holy Grail War this time.

She will choose to join the Black Faction, and at least until Amakusa Tokiseishiro is dealt with, Jeanne d'Arc is determined to act in the Black Faction.

Chapter 192 Final Policy

Inside the villa hall of the Yggdrasilia clan, the group was discussing how to continue the battle with the Reds.

According to the message from his familiar, Amakusa Tokisadarou returned to the location of the Holy Church in Sigisevara, Romania, without delay after the great battle last night.

After losing the Sky Garden, the Church, which had once served as a stronghold, was undoubtedly the best defensive position.

After all, as the former stronghold of the Red Team, the Holy Church also has many magical barriers.

Moreover, compared to Tulipas, Amakusa Tokisada Shiro was more familiar with Sigishwara and was able to make more arrangements.

　If it were just the Red team, the Yggdmirena clan wouldn't have much to discuss, since they only needed to go to Sighishwara first and then take action at night.

In short, it's a direct breakthrough, since the battle in Sighishwara has become an away game, regardless of the familiar eyes that Amakusa Tokisadashiro released in Sighishwara.

Or perhaps it was his revelation, which was on par with Joan of Arc's, that prevented the Yggdrasilia from devising a way to launch a covert attack.

But the most important problem now is that the Black Assassin, Jack the Ripper, is still in the town of Tulipas.

At least in Jeanne's perception, Jack the Ripper still exists here, and if this trouble is not resolved, Jeanne and her companions will not be able to go to Sigishvara to fight Amakusa Tokisadairo with peace of mind.

If the Black Assassin had arrived here during their attack on the Reds, it would have been nearly impossible for the Yggdrasilian magicians and homunculus to survive against her alone.

However, even with Shirou Emiya and Jeanne d'Arc included, the Yggdrasil family only has three Servants at present.

Although Shirou Emiya's strength is not on par with top-tier Servants like Chiron, he has definitely surpassed Astolfo.

Therefore, there is no problem in treating him as a Servant.

"I'll go and deal with Assassin."

After some discussion, Joan of Arc made this decision.

"But Tulifas is quite a distance from Sighishwara, and even if you run at full speed, Ruler, it will take you a long time."

This was a difficult decision for the Black side. If they sent Joan of Arc to deal with Assassin, they had no confidence in breaking through the Red side's formidable lineup.

Astolfo cannot often be considered a fighting force.

Just from last night's Holy Grail War, it was clear that Astolfo not only failed to provide any assistance, but also caused trouble at every turn.

Even his original Master was brutally killed by the Black Assassin.

“No, I have a way to get to Sigishwara quickly after taking down Assassin.”

Joan of Arc responded to Fiore, after all, distance was indeed a major obstacle, and even if Joan of Arc ran at full speed, she could not reach Sighisoara immediately.

The rest of the Black team would not choose to go to Sigishwara after eliminating Assassin.

That would have taken far too much time, and given that Amakusa Tokisadashiro possessed the Greater Grail, such a choice would undoubtedly have been unwise.

Moreover, if you don't check the situation beforehand, you might be ambushed on the way.

At least I don't have to think about these things during the day.

Even with a desire to save all of humanity, Amakusa Tokisada Shirou always adhered to the rules of the Holy Grail War.

Aside from the fact that his very existence violated the rules of the Holy Grail War, he adhered to those rules even more strictly than Joan of Arc.

During the daytime, the Yggdrasiliens do not need to worry about what kind of ambushes they might encounter on the road.

"If that's the case, let's prepare to head to Sigishwara now."

Fiore pondered for a moment but did not ask Joan of Arc how to get to Sighshwara quickly. Since Joan of Arc did not explain in detail how to do it, Fiore would not press for details.

All she needed to know was that Joan of Arc could get to Sighishwara quickly.

Although she could regard Shirou Emiya as a Servant, he was still human, and she wouldn't feel good if something unexpected happened to him.

Fiore's power as a magician is undoubtedly first-rate, but she has been unable to face what she has done as a magician.

Like memories with her puppy. Fiore neither forgot that memory nor buried it away, but kept recalling it repeatedly.

She knew that this was an emotion that magicians (especially those who practiced spirit summoning) absolutely did not need, yet she still could not let go of it; it was an emotion that only overly upright people would have.

Furthermore, she couldn't accept the magician's cold-blooded and selfless personality.

Therefore, she is not like other magicians who are indifferent to Shirou Emiya's life.

At least Caules and she still have a good impression of Shirou Emiya.

Such an upright and kind person should not be buried in the Holy Grail War.

"Then get ready."

Fiore guided the group, but in reality, only five people would actually go to Sighishwara: Kairi Shishikatsu, Shirou Emiya, Jeanne d'Arc, Astolfo, and her Master.

Apart from that, the other magicians of the Yggdrasilia clan did not intend to go and offer assistance.

On the one hand, there was no benefit to be gained, and on the other hand, these magicians believed that with their strength, they would probably end up like the androids who fought Mordred.

They have no other use except as cannon fodder.

Moreover, Darnick did not comment on their decision, so only these people would go to compete for the Greater Grail.

Joan of Arc had no objection to this, after all, she did not want too many casualties.

Moreover, she wouldn't force others to help her.

Even if she wanted to acquire combat power like Shirou Emiya, she would ask him proactively. If Shirou Emiya did not intend to continue participating, Jeanne would not stop him.

Although the magicians of the Yggdmirena clan do not intend to go to Sighishwara, they will still provide transportation and other necessities.

We can't really let Shirou Emiya and the others walk all the way to Sighshwara.

When Arthur and Shirou Emiya went to the church, the Yggdrasilia family also arranged for them to be picked up and dropped off by car.

Emiya Shirou returned to his room. Although there was nothing to tidy up, time was not in a hurry.

We can rest for a while and then head to Sighishwara in the afternoon without any major problems.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

A knock came at the door, followed by a familiar voice.

"Shirou, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."
