Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Joan of Arc's eyes shone with a dazzling golden light. She handed over the bowl she had finished drinking from, her complexion regained its rosy hue, and she became extremely energetic.

The diners' appreciation is an affirmation of the chef's work.

Emiya and Arthur exchanged a smile. How could this bowl of porridge not taste good? It was a masterpiece that combined the best of both chefs' skills.

Emiya had originally planned to cook porridge for Jeanne himself, but seeing Arthur skillfully tidying up the tableware, he asked Arthur for advice.

Then the two hit it off immediately, divided the work, and in a very short time, cooked a bowl of nutritious vegetable porridge that was delicious and visually appealing.

The moment they lifted the lid, Emiya and Arthur felt as if they had stepped into paradise, experiencing extreme comfort in both body and mind.

They each tried it, and the taste was excellent, greatly satisfying the two chefs.

{P.S.: The author just randomly found a bowl of porridge online, so this chapter will definitely be posted at midnight. Someone, release some temptation!}

"belch--!"

Joan of Arc, in a very unladylike manner, let out a loud burp.

Then, as if noticing something, she quickly covered her mouth, her face flushed with extreme shyness.

"Um, you're not Joan of Arc, are you?"

Arthur asked the girl in front of him, not so much because he could tell from her appearance, but because he couldn't sense the leader-like aura that only those who had participated in war possessed.

"No, my name is Leticia, and I am a high school student in France."

Leticia made no attempt to hide anything, just as she unconditionally trusted Joan of Arc who was possessing her, she also trusted the two people in front of her.

Joan of Arc worried that if she were released into the wild, she might be kidnapped and sold into slavery.

"So it really is summoned?"

Arthur nodded as if he were certain. Although he had already made up his mind, practice is the only standard for testing truth. He couldn't make a decision so hastily. Maybe he really would be born in this way.

Just like Artoria, the original body's time is completely frozen in the period before Camlann Sword Hill's death. When summoned, it is the original body's consciousness that acts, and it cannot become a spirit.

However, if there is something similar to a second personality, then it can be basically concluded that it is summoned.

This is extremely unusual for the Holy Grail War.

Unless there are special rules, Servants directly manifest in the world as spirits.

"Um, may I know your name? It's not very nice to always call you Master of the Knight."

Leticia asked Emiya Shirou very politely, because she knew Arthur's real name and how to address him because of Jeanne d'Arc.

But she didn't know about Emiya, and she couldn't keep calling him the Master of the Knight.

"Shirou Emiya"

Emiya answered Leticia's question; it was not a difficult thing to explain.

"Where is Miss Laty, Ruler, now?"

Emiya asked Leticia, recalling that he had spoken with Arthur while Jeanne was unconscious, and Arthur had not hidden his speculations about Jeanne's condition.

Emiya also learned some information about summoning by possession and understood the true nature of Leticia's situation.

However, according to Arthur's explanation, when magic power is abundant, the servant should manifest, and the person relying on it should fall into a coma.

As a class summoned by the Holy Grail, the Ruler's mana supply is provided by the Holy Grail, so they basically never lack mana.

Unless there is a problem with the object it relies on, it will generally appear on the outside as a servant.

Although the object of her dependence appeared due to hunger, she has now recovered, and it should be Joan of Arc who has appeared.

Moreover, for some reason, she had the memory of talking to Jeanne d'Arc, which surprised Shirou Emiya and Arthur.

However, in reality, this situation arose because of the appearance of Shirou Emiya and Arthur.

Under normal circumstances, Joan of Arc would have eaten first upon entering a town before going to church.

But now she has discovered information about a Servant, whom she had previously questioned Karna about, but he did not answer any of her questions.

Furthermore, within her perception range throughout the entire city, only Emiya and his Servants were present, as if the Red Team had been hiding from her all along.

So Joan of Arc didn't even have time to eat before rushing to Shirou Emiya and Arthur.

As a result of extreme hunger, and the fact that rushing to Arthur and Emiya's location had further depleted his energy, he fainted from hunger on the street.

Chapter 131 The Unusual Holy Grail War

"Lady Joan of Arc is apologizing."

As a Servant summoned by another being, one does not have a keen sense of the object of that summoning. The Servant does not need to eat, drink, or sleep.

It can maintain a clear mind at all times, but as an object of dependence, it cannot achieve the same level as a Servant.

They may feel hungry and tired, but the Servant's mental and physical strength is far superior to that of a normal person, so the hunger and fatigue they feel from the object are almost non-existent.

If one is not careful, one can end up like Joan of Arc, forgetting such an important matter and causing the person on whom she is attached to to fall into a coma.

After all, the feelings that Leticia, as a Servant, had instilled in Jeanne were not particularly strong, so finding the cause of the anomalies in the Holy Grail War would be her top priority rather than eating.

"apologize?"

"Lady Joan of Arc said that it was all because of her that I became so weak, so she kept apologizing to me and expressing her gratitude to you all."

Leticia drank another bowl of porridge and whispered to Shirou Emiya and Arthur.

"Then why doesn't Lady Joan of Arc come out?"

Arthur asked aloud.

Given their situation, they should be able to switch freely between the two, right?

"Lady Jeanne is trying to sort out her thoughts on this Holy Grail War, and she still feels very ashamed that she suddenly fainted in front of Mr. Emiya and the Knight."

Ignoring Jeanne's advice within her, Leticia directly described her current feelings to Emiya Shirou and Arthur.

However, before Shirou Emiya and Arthur could say anything, a different aura emanated from the girl in front of them.

"cough--!"

"In short, this Holy Grail War is full of strangeness, and you are not rule-breakers, but normal participants."

As Joan of Arc cleared her throat, her expression turned serious. After all, when it came to serious matters, she was extremely diligent in her work.

Shirou Emiya and Arthur, however, didn't seem to care about that little incident.

Joan of Arc picked up the bowl in front of her and took another sip.

The taste is indeed quite good; the taste I heard from Leticia is quite different from the taste I tried myself.

This is truly an extremely delicious porridge.

"cough--!"

Do you have any further questions?

"There's nothing wrong with the problem, but I'm starting to have more questions."

Arthur pinched his chin, deep in thought. It seemed that even the Arbitrator couldn't solve the questions they wanted to ask, and she was busy searching for answers to those questions.

And they, as participants in the war, knew even less. How could they possibly find a problem that even the adjudicators couldn't solve?

"Ruler, I'd like to know, the Holy Grail War usually doesn't involve innocent civilians, right?"

Emiya, on the other hand, had many questions for Jeanne d'Arc, as the information he had heard about the Holy Grail War was mostly from Darnic's side of the story.

Furthermore, Emiya didn't trust someone like him. It was clearly quicker to ask the arbiter of this Holy Grail War than to ask Darnic.

"No, not at all. The Holy Grail War usually takes place at night, and I will do my best to protect innocent civilians during the Holy Grail War."

Jeanne looked directly into Shirou Emiya's eyes and made a promise that such a struggle within the magic world should not affect those in the real world.

Joan of Arc will do everything in her power to maintain the form, fairness, and impartiality of the Holy Grail War.

To her surprise, the boy in front of her, despite being a magician, was so concerned about ordinary people.

Moreover, his question was not posed in an attempt to win me over.

Everyone knows that Joan of Arc was an extremely kind-hearted saint. If one could cater to her wishes in this way, perhaps one could win her over.

But all she could see in Shirou Emiya's eyes was sincerity and a conviction that came from the bottom of his heart.

"I feel relieved with Ruler's assurance."

Emiya Shirou nodded, because his strength was extremely weak in the Holy Grail War. If those Servants wanted to go on a killing spree, he would have no ability to stop them.

Although his Saber has the ability to stop them, if he gets entangled with the other Servants, he can only watch helplessly as the Servants wreak havoc among the defenseless crowd, unable to do anything useful.

Emiya wouldn't stand idly by; he would rush in, though he knew in his heart that he was powerless to stop it.

Even if you lack the ability, you must go. Delaying for a few seconds means several precious lives can be saved.

Fortunately, all the Heroic Spirits in this Holy Grail War seem to be extremely orthodox, each with their own glory in battle.

Why did Emiya believe that the Servants would choose to go on a killing spree?

The main reason was that when Emiya was walking down the corridor, he heard Danic mention that their Assassin was a murderer, but he didn't reveal his real name, so that was all Emiya knew.

Since even notorious serial killers in history can become Heroic Spirits, it's not surprising that some Heroic Spirits would ruthlessly slaughter ordinary people.

At least Emiya wants to prevent such a thing from happening.

He must find an opportunity to see the black player's Assassin later.

"I'll go to church first."

Jeanne d'Arc finished her last bowl of porridge and said this to Shirou Emiya.

"Why must we go to church instead of going to the Black side to observe the situation first?"

Emiya Shirou asked.

After all, if it's about investigation, the Black side is obviously easier to contact, and they can also obtain a lot of information that even the Holy Grail wouldn't provide.

For example, regarding the Red Army's combat personnel, if it were Joan of Arc's request, Danic would surely be willing to provide them.

Joan of Arc might be able to find the source of the problem through revelation.

Of course, Emiya was unaware of this information, and he never requested it from Danic.
