The Story of the Sirens and Miss Jeanne: Chapter Two - Siren (Revised)

The girls were locked in, and the gap in the door was just big enough for them to reach out.

As Miss Jeanne was thinking this, she saw a hand reach out.

"Help...help us..." The weak and small voice made it easy to tell that it belonged to a young girl.

"Yes, I'll save you." She said these words, which were completely out of character, but her purpose was simply to reassure the girls who were locked inside.

However, as she uttered these words, Miss Jeanne felt a headache coming on. After all, given her previous condition, opening such a cage might have been difficult, especially now that she was weakened. The conclusion was clear: Miss Jeanne couldn't open the door with brute force alone. (Her strength had been reduced to below D, and she was currently under a weakened debuff.)

If there's no way to break open the cage by brute force, then Ms. Jeanne only has one option left.

Having confirmed this, Miss Jeanne once again drew out her already extremely low magic power from her body and ignited it directly here.

The black flames didn't illuminate much of the area, and the girl who had previously pleaded for help from Miss Jeanne now wore a hint of fear on her face.

She is afraid.

After reading this message from the girl's face, Miss Jeanne decided to speed up what she was doing.

"Be careful." Her face began to show the weakness caused by the extraction of magic, but even so, Miss Jeanne still spoke in the tone of an older sister.

Although the little girl locked inside was still a bit scared, she eventually listened to what Miss Jeanne said.

In the end, Miss Jeanne only destroyed the key to the door and the connection to the wall before stopping, after all, Miss Jeanne didn't have much magic left at this point.

With limited magic power and the number of people to be rescued later, Miss Ai felt a headache coming on.

However, the headache only lasted for a short while. After all, Miss Jeanne still had things to do. If it really didn't work, she could just ask the little girl here for a mana boost. (Stop! That's a crime.jpg)

It took two whole hours for Miss Jeanne to finally get all the girls locked up inside out safely, though at the cost of becoming even weaker herself. (All her attributes dropped to E, and her magic power was E-. However, judging from her condition, Miss Jeanne ultimately didn't do anything so beastly.)

"Thank you... thank you," a girl with bandages wrapped around the joints of her left and right arms said to Miss Jeanne.

Miss Jeanne did not respond to the girl's thanks, but instead placed her left arm out of their sight and watched them leave.

After rescuing these girls, Miss Jeanne's body turned increasingly gray.

It has now spread to the entire left arm, turning the skin grayish-white. Although it is not much different from her usual skin color, the sensitivity of her left hand is decreasing. This makes Miss Jeanne even more certain that the grayish-white color is not a good thing.

And Miss Jeanne might even die because of this thing.

Despite this confirmation, Miss Jeanne had no way to stop the grayish-white color from spreading, and this situation made her feel unexpectedly uncomfortable.

"Big sister, how can we leave here?" A girl, perhaps because she hadn't been captured for long or because she still had some courage left, asked Miss Jeanne.

"...Come with me." After a brief silence, Miss Jeanne gave up on finding a solution to her own problems and instead decided to lead the group of girls away from here.

"They're already on the verge of death, yet they're still spouting nice words?" another voice whispered in the crowd.

"Did someone just speak?" Although Miss Jeanne's physical functions were declining, she could still hear someone speaking just now.

I just couldn't hear what was said.

However, regardless of what the girl in the crowd said, Miss Jeanne had already decided to take the group of girls out before dealing with her own problems.

Even with your body like this, are you still going to take us out?

The girl who had just spoken thought this after watching Miss Jeanne's actions.

'No, we can't trust her. She just wants to take us to another experiment.'

The girl's initial attraction to Miss Jeanne lasted only a few seconds before it was instantly suppressed by her own long experience of being treated as a laboratory animal.

However, no matter how much the girl denies what Miss Jeanne is doing, or denies that Miss Jeanne truly wants what's best for them.

When they saw that Miss Jeanne had indeed led them to see the azure sky they hadn't seen in a long time, such thoughts disappeared.

"I need to look at a map for the rest of the journey, otherwise I won't know where I'm going." As she said this, Miss Jeanne glanced briefly at her graying arms, which the other girls hadn't seen.

'I feel a little more agile than before, or should I say I've recovered?'

Thinking this, Miss Jeanne tentatively moved the fingers of her left hand, and it did feel a little better than before, although only a little. However, it was indeed getting better.

'It seems he won't die.'

'Since they won't die, let's take these girls and leave. Even if the owner finds them, using them as lab animals probably isn't a good thing.'

After looking at the girls, and with this thought in mind, Miss Na silently made up her mind.

Although such determination is of little use when Miss Anne can't even protect herself, it doesn't stop Miss Jeanne from making such a decision.

"Big sister, are you a Valkyrie?" asked Miss Jeanne. Because they both had golden eyes, Miss Jeanne paid special attention to the girl's condition when she rescued her.

'Valkyrie, are they combatants from this world?'

Although she didn't understand what the girl meant by "Valkyrie," Miss Jeanne felt it would be better to give an honest answer.

"Valkyrie? I'm not one, because I don't even know what a Valkyrie is." Miss Jeanne said this to the girl who asked her the question, and her answer was exactly what she had expected, truthfully answering the girl's question.

'Isn't this older sister a Valkyrie?'

'No, there shouldn't be anyone who isn't a Valkyrie here, unless...'

The girl's distrust of humanity, stemming from years of experimentation, was shattered by another event.

'Unless, this older woman is just an ordinary person who, after I killed all the researchers last night and while checking that the Valkyries hadn't arrived yet, ended up here by some unexpected circumstance?'

Although there were many possibilities, and this was by no means the most likely one, the girl looked at Miss Jeanne's face and ruled out most of them, choosing this outcome that didn't seem to be the most probable.

"If I remember correctly, your name should be..."

"Siren"

I ran into a boss-level character right from the start, no wonder I'm unlucky (laughs).

The Story of the Sirens and Miss Jeanne: Chapter Three - Sirin Believes in Jeanne (A-Qiang Falls in Love with...)

"If I remember correctly, your name should be..."

"Siren"

After thinking for a moment, Miss Jeanne finally remembered the name of the girl standing in front of her.

"How does big sister know my name?" Siren asked innocently.

"Because of my eyes." As she said this, Miss Jeanne leaned closer to Srien so that Srien could see her pupils more clearly.

The two women have very similar eye colors, one leaning towards gold and the other towards orange, but the main color is still in the yellow family, which is why Ms. Jeanne said that the two women's eyes are very similar.

'Her eyes... they look like snakes.' Siren commented, looking at Miss Jeanne's eyes.

Yes, just as Siren commented, Miss Jeanne's body was ultimately affected by her inherent skill, even though that skill had completely disappeared a few hours ago, as if it had never existed.

However, this did not prevent it from affecting Miss Jeanne's body.

However, putting aside the impact of what has disappeared on Miss Jeanne, while Siren was observing Miss Jeanne's pupils, Miss Jeanne was also observing Sirin's pupils.

'I feel like I've seen eyes like these somewhere before,' Miss Jeanne thought to herself, looking into Siren's eyes with certainty.

As I reminisce, some memories come to mind.

Miss Jeanne was not sure why she had these memories; rather, she had forgotten her memories from before she appeared in Chaldea.

Miss Jeanne's problem is that her soul is damaged; the double blow from the Throne of Heroes and the Soul Core has harmed her soul.

But it was only a damage; Miss Jeanne's soul remained surprisingly resilient.

However, even if it was just damage, it still caused harm to the soul, which is why Miss Jeanne lost her memories of what happened before she appeared in Chaldea.

Compared to others whose souls have been damaged, Miss Jeanne only lost a little bit of her memory, which is already a pretty good result.

Yes, it's just a few memories, but those memories ultimately represent everything before Miss Jeanne became Miss Jeanne.

All that's left.

Now, these lost memories are beginning to trouble Miss Jeanne.

'Siren, so that's how you pronounce Siren.' But it doesn't seem like it's a big problem for me.

"How about it? Aren't my eyes beautiful?" Miss Jeanne said, looking at Sirin who was staring at her eyes, as if the memory that had just flown out of her mind didn't exist at all.

“Hmm, it’s very beautiful, big sister.” Standing in front of Miss Jeanne, Sirin was completely unaware of the slightest abnormality in Miss Jeanne’s condition.

"Yours are beautiful too." She returned the greeting with the same words, though it wasn't exactly polite. Sirin's eyes were indeed beautiful, but there was something slightly odd about them.

'But is Jeanne really just a passerby?'

Yes, even though Sirin still can't suppress her urge to kill all the hypocritical adults, Jeanne's appearance made Sirin hesitate slightly.

'Big sister, should she really be killed?'

'My older sister isn't one of those hypocritical adults; she shouldn't have been killed.'

versus

'All adults are hypocrites, and hypocritical adults must be killed.'

These two ideas were battling in Sirin's mind.

However, setting aside the debate between these two ideas, both are based on the fact that Miss Jeanne is indeed very good to them.

It is precisely because of this fact that Sirin is so conflicted.

On one side are the lives of innocent people, and on the other side are...

However, just as Miss Jeanne overcame her instinct as an avenger to take revenge on the world, Sirin also ultimately overcame her views on adults.

Although this currently applies only to Miss Jeanne, this will eventually change in the near future.

But that's still in the future. Let's get back to the present and talk about what's happening now.

"Big sister, what happened to your left hand?" asked Sirin, who had previously intended to use this to test the young lady, but now had no intention of doing so.

Yes, compared to her previous distrust, Sirin now trusts Miss Jeanne.

However, while she says she trusts him, in reality, if Miss Jeanne were to betray that trust, she would likely be the first to suffer. But Miss Jeanne would certainly not betray that trust.

Because Jeanne was betrayed by the Master she trusted, she understands the price of betraying trust, and because she understands this, Jeanne will never betray that trust.
