Let the Bizarre Adventure of the Joestars begin.

There was indeed a space at the very back, but she was dead.

Yes, he died. His right leg was crushed, and he died from massive bleeding from his aorta.

But anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong with the wound. If you had to explain why, it was because it was too clean, as if someone had chopped it off with a huge axe.

Moreover, that axe must have been extremely sharp, because even the bones had clean breaks, which is completely impossible for a collapse of this height.

Yes, although she had some suspicions before coming, Joan of Arc still understood after seeing the situation. For a detective, if they really wanted to kill someone, they could do so without being discovered.

As for why, it's because the detective deliberately left this evidence behind.

After the deceased fell to one side because of Joan of Arc's action of clearing away the rubble, Joan of Arc and Sieg understood why this evidence had been discovered.

[The first case was successfully solved! Congratulations to the android boy and Jeanne d'Arc! As for what I'm doing now, don't ask. Just know I'm not dead. Also, don't tell anyone.]

These words, written in blood on the wall behind the deceased, made Joan of Arc realize, at this moment, that Jeanne's scheme had already begun.

I was indeed too rushed the past few days, but writing this morning went much more smoothly.

A War Filled with Black and White: Chapter Twenty-One Atalanta: You didn't expect that, did you? I... no, I didn't betray you.

Semiramis's Noble Phantasm was still floating in the air, heading in an unknown direction.

Atalanta, however, was not too concerned about where the Hanging Gardens would drift to, because she was more interested in what was to come than in all this nonsense.

Yes, what follows is the main event, or rather, what follows is the most important thing for Atalanta.

I had already heard about the Master from Jeanne, and similarly, Atalanta was given a very important instruction by Jeanne. Jeanne had made a decision because only in this way could Jeanne sneak into this place and into this hanging garden without anyone noticing.

Holding the small crystal given to him by Miss Jeanne, he was certain of what he was about to do.

Yes, if I had to put it into words, it's a very simple thing, an extremely simple thing. You just need to put this crystal in, you just need to put this crystal in the room where the Master is imprisoned.

Because if what Ms. Jeanne said is true, Atalanta only needs to put the crystal in, and then it's up to Ms. Jeanne to do next.

However, those who always try to avoid trouble are often the ones who cause trouble the fastest.

Just like Murphy's Law, lol.

"Hey, big sister, where are you going?" Achilles greeted Atalanta as she walked alone through the passage.

“mi…” But it seems that this greeting has startled Atalanta, and she’s all bristling. Anyone who knows cats would understand that Atalanta is furious.

And it seems Atalanta almost uttered some truly horrible words.

"It's you, Rider. What's up?" After calming herself down a bit, she asked the child who had always respected her.

"I just wanted to ask, what are you doing here, sister?" Yes, Achilles really was just passing by, but he couldn't help but go up and greet Atalanta when he saw her.

"Just taking a stroll," Atalanta said, trying to get rid of Achilles, but she wasn't sure what the actual effect would be.

“In that case, I’ll stay with you, elder sister.” These words reaffirmed for Atalanta one thing: the validity of Murphy’s Law.

"No need, you go and keep an eye on the priest."

"Alright, big sister." After Atalanta rejected him twice, even the shameless Achilles could only obediently let Atalanta go for a stroll by herself.

After listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, Atalanta finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, it was understandable that she was nervous, since Atalanta had never done anything like this before.

Moreover, it was fortunate that Atalanta encountered Achilles; otherwise, others might have already discovered... no, apart from Caster, probably no one else would have noticed. After all, the priest and Assassin were together and wouldn't move around freely. So, apart from Caster, there was really no way anyone else here could have discovered what Atalanta was up to.

Strictly speaking, even if Caster discovered what Atalanta was planning, it's uncertain whether he would report it. After all, if it were Caster as Atalanta saw him, he might not have reported it at all.

However, it doesn't matter what we say now, since the mission is complete, and the next step is to ask the priest.

Yes, although Atalanta didn't want to ask about it so soon, Achilles was actually starting to get impatient.

So, the only option is to ask.

After Atalanta left, the space distorted slightly, and a Servant who belonged to neither the Black nor the Red faction appeared: Risker, Jeanne Joestar, who used the crystal to locate her.

Although that crystal might not seem precious to others, it actually represents about one-tenth of the Honkai energy that Ms. Jeanne and Sirin could still use.

Naturally, this crystal will need to be recycled later, since Honkai energy is severely scarce.

'Sirin, how long do you think it will take for Atalanta to betray us again?'

Yes, Sirin and Miss Jeanne had been using that crystal to locate and eavesdrop on Atalanta's situation.

'Judging from her condition, it shouldn't be long, if that priest's offer is tempting enough.' Yes, even Sirin could tell that Atalanta was the kind of person who put her own desires first.

But which Servant in this Holy Grail War doesn't have a wish that needs to be fulfilled? And for that wish, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with turning against them a little, right?

However, despite this, Miss Jeanne still had another speculation: that Atalanta wouldn't betray them. Although the probability was very small, it was still a possibility.

'Well, Sirin, you continue monitoring Atalanta's side. I'll throw these Masters who've been tricked into the Imaginary Dimension.'

After saying this to Sirin, Jeanne began to act, carrying a Master on one shoulder and throwing them into the Imaginary Dimension.

After that, Jeanne has other things to do, such as testing the Command Seal transfer on these mages. Of course, if the transfer fails, Jeanne will probably cut off all the Masters' hands, since it's best to have their Master's Command Seals in hand to command the Red Team's Servants.

Surprisingly, everything went very smoothly, as if the "Luck E" on the panel didn't exist. (Actually, it had become "Luck C," but Miss Jeanne herself didn't know it.)

"Oh, what a surprise." Miss Jeanne, who had just moved four Masters, heard Sirin's exclamation. It seemed that something had happened on Atalanta's side.

'What happened? Tell me so I can cheer you up.'

'That's right, Atalanta didn't betray us. That's really interesting.' Yes, in Sirin's opinion, Atalanta was bound to betray them; there was absolutely no possibility that she wouldn't. As for the reason, it was probably because Sirin didn't trust these so-called heroes. No, it should be said that Sirin didn't trust most of humanity.

'It seems we have at least one more person on our side. But Sirin, what do you think of that priest?' Miss Jeanne, who had just finished moving, asked, but Sirin hadn't yet given an answer.

Then the sound of footsteps rang out.

'It seems we've been discovered. Let's make a run for it.' With that thought, Miss Jeanne sank back into the imaginary space, leaving nothing behind.

Atalanta and the others, being a step too late, naturally discovered nothing.

Today went surprisingly smoothly. I guess I should really dedicate four hours to writing (before, it was always three hours, or even two hours).

Thank you to Domyouji Sakura for the recommendation vote, "Want to Be More Interesting".

A war filled with black and white: Chapter Twenty-Two: Kotomine Shiro, who has victory firmly in his grasp (FLAG.....)

The Holy Grail War is a very special war. The Greater Grail can grant the victor's wish or do other things, such as allowing magicians to reach the Root.

But if I had to say it, it was ultimately a war, but if I had to say it, it was just a battle between seven people, well, strictly speaking, it really wasn't a war.

Normally, the seven Servants that can be summoned in the Holy Grail War all have their own classes, but this time is different. This time, the Einzbern family has summoned a special Servant in hopes of achieving victory.

Yes, in most timelines, the Einzbern should have summoned the Avenger, Angora Newman, but this time...

The Einzbern family summoned Ruler, the priest who was supposed to appear in the Holy Grail War.

Then, just as the Einzbern family had anticipated, yes, the Holy Grail War was almost won, yes, almost won, but in the end, the Greater Grail was taken away. Fortunately, Ruler touched it at that time, before the Greater Grail was taken away.

This means that Ruler has been given a physical body, but from this perspective, Miss Jeanne's experience of being given a physical body is much more convenient and safer than this one.

After all, there wasn't a major war, right? Although many more troublesome problems arose, if I had to say, being a victim was indeed much easier than dealing with this Ruler.

Now, this is the Fourth Holy Grail War, also known as the Holy Grail War. Naturally, Ruler, the Servant who received flesh sixty years ago, also participated in this war. His name is Kotomine Shirou.

As Kotomine Risei's adopted son, he was involved in many, many things.

Ultimately, they gained the greatest chance of victory in this Holy Grail War, not only controlling all the Masters of the Red faction except for Ravenous Leo within their own rooms.

Similarly, Kotomine Shirou also has the identity of a Master, participating in the Holy Grail War as the Master of the Red Assassin Semiramis.

"Will we be caught up in a few days?" Acher and Atalanta from the red team sounded a little surprised. But it was understandable that they were surprised, since they should all think that they had the victory in the bag.

However, at this moment, Kotomine Shiro did not realize that Atalanta's voice contained not only surprise, but something else entirely. Yes, Atalanta's voice had other meanings, but Kotomine Shiro was completely oblivious to it at this moment, just as a person who is about to win will not notice certain things.

For example, Atalanta's current state, and the fact that she didn't realize it due to negligence, that her Master, who had been imprisoned, had been secretly moved away by someone.

"Yes, that's right, if Ruler can organize the remaining Servants of Yggdrasil." That was his answer to Atalanta's question.

However, Achilles' reaction was much stronger than Atalanta's.

"I understand the situation, but it's about time you answered our questions."

"If you don't answer well, I'll take your head." Yes, if we must say something, Achilles' words are by no means a prelude. At this distance, Semiramis, as an Assassin, is completely unable to stop Achilles, as a Rider. Similarly, Atalanta, who is right next to the Rider, will not stop Achilles' actions either.

"So... where are the Masters?" Achilles asked, voicing the next question.

Although Achilles' Masters had already been thrown into the Imaginary Dimension by Jeanne, the questions still needed to be asked, since Atalanta's role as an undercover agent couldn't be discovered by Kotomine Shirou.

Because this issue is very important.

"All five of them are in a room in this garden." His face radiated confidence, not only because of his scheme, but also because of the victory he was about to achieve.

"It should still retain its human form, since it was this kind of poison used." Feeling that he hadn't said something, Kotomine Shiro added this sentence.

"You bastard..." Yes, upon hearing these words, Achilles instantly wanted to attack.

"After all, people who are always thinking about being one step ahead are just too much of a hindrance."

“You’re all the same, only thinking about getting ahead of the game.” Lancer, who had been listening from the sidelines, finally chimed in.

"If I said their lives were not in danger, would you believe me?" Kotomine Shirou said this in response to the Servants' words, as if he had a lot of confidence in his own words.

"There's no other way, so let's just acknowledge you as the Master for now."

"Is this a problem that can be solved with a single word, elder sister?" Achilles asked, surprised that Atalanta had so readily accepted Kotomine Shiro's words.

“I have no infatuation with a cowardly Master.” She said this, but in reality, Atalanta did not intend to just admit what Kotomine Shirou said, nor did she intend to regard Kotomine Shirou as her Master.

However, for Atalanta right now, the most important thing is to figure out how to deceive Kotomine Shiro, because if she wants to inform Jeanne, she will have to wait until later.

"Is that so? Then let me hear your wishes." Kotomine Shiro said this, as for the reason?
