“Why would you do such a thing?”

 The ruler at the side asked the dragon-slaying hero softly.

 "I don't want to fulfill other people's wishes, but my own. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, there's no need to participate in the Holy Grail War anymore. Besides—"

 Siegfried looked at the girl whose breathing was gradually stabilizing.

 "This time, I've forced her into a responsibility that wasn't hers. So, I owe her something... What a greedy and superficial thought..."

 "This time is enough. Let me help others with my own will. And be proud of it... Even if no one asks me for help, and no one asks me for help... This is all I want to do..."

 Siegfried touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, and finally thrust his sword into the ground in front of the girl.

 "As compensation, could you please hand this problem over to her after she wakes up, Ruler?"

 Siegfried's figure began to become illusory, and countless spirit particles emanated from his body.

 "Leave it to me..."

 Ruker nodded solemnly to Siegfried.

 "I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if it costs me my reputation."

 "Is that so... Sorry to bother you, Rider, please apologize on my behalf, Master. I'm not fit to be his Ser.

 nt..."

 "but you!"

 Astolfo held out his hand to Siegfried.

 "I have no regrets..."

 The sky was filled with spirit particles, and the clear moonlight shone on the girl's face.

 "I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble..."

 With those last words, the first servant to leave this Holy Grail War appeared.

 "Goodbye, Siegfried... gentle hero..."

 "Siegfried..."

 The girl murmured something, and then opened her eyes with difficulty in front of Astolfo's surprised eyes.

 "rider?"

 "Great!"

 Astolfo carefully pulled the girl up and looked her around.

 "It feels a little heavier than before?"

 Somehow, the girl suddenly felt inexplicably unhappy after hearing these words.

 The wings behind him also trembled along with the girl's mood.

 See, even the wings think so...?

 The girl looked back at her wings in shock.

 Lift your left wing once, then your right wing once, and then try to swing it.

 It's like waving your arms and using them freely.

 "Are you okay?"

 An armored arm stretched out.

 Golden hair, violet eyes, and an ornament on the forehead that I don't know what it's for.

 The moonlight highlights Joan of Arc's soft face.

 "Um..."

 Nodding, the girl placed her hand on it.

 "Siegfried, is this the hero who saved me?"

 Jeanne nodded.

 "Yes, he was a gentle hero who gave his life for you."

 Fragments of the dream, the figure of that man kept appearing before my eyes.

 "Sacrifice your life..."

 The girl looked at the big sword beside her.

 "that is?"

 "That was his compensation to you, as compensation for dragging you into an unnecessary fate."

 "But before that-"

 Jeanne placed her hands on the girl's breasts.

 "Allow me to give you a thorough examination."

 The girl blinked her red dragon eyes, her eyes full of confusion.

 But wasn't Joan of Arc a person from the time of the Anglo-French War? Would she have checked?

 The girl stood there blankly, allowing Jeanne to examine her.

 "Does it feel like this kid is naturally gullible?"

 Astolfo suddenly came over, then was pushed away by Joan of Arc. After rolling several times on the ground, he fell beside Gold.

 "Siegfried's heart is functioning normally, but your lungs... I'm sorry, but that's beyond my capabilities."

 "No problem, this lung is..."

 Just as the girl was about to explain, Jeanne suddenly summoned her own lance.

 "rider..."

 "Ahh, are you here?"

 Astolfo slowly stood up and looked at the people who appeared from the shadows.

 "Rider, what happened, and who is that Servant over there?"

 The leading man asked calmly in a tone that left no room for questioning.

 As he spoke, the remaining servants of the black side appeared one after another and raised their weapons.

 "Well..."

 Astolfo looked at Danic and then at the girl, and just as he was about to speak, Jeanne spoke first.

 "I am the ruler, the one who will decide this Holy Grail War."

 "What happened to Saber?"

 The gloomy-faced man riding the warhorse looked at the girl behind the two men.

 Astolfo held up a finger.

 "He chose death himself...right?"

 "Then who is the android who possesses Saber's heart?"

 The girl opened her eyes wide, and the caster's figure was reflected in her red dragon pupils.

 Astolfo immediately waved his hand to block Joan of Arc and the girl behind him.

 The invisible pressure slowly dissipated, and the man on horseback looked so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

 "Answer Yu, what exactly happened here?"

 Astolfo shook his head helplessly, then looked at his master's gritted teeth and had to confess everything he had done, but did not explain the fact that Chiron helped.

 "To lose Saber because of such a small matter... How ridiculous..."

 "Danic, that android can't leave yet. She seems to have something more important than Hearthheart and Siegfried's."

 Caster looked at the girl carefully, and the girl returned the favor.

 "Rider, hand her over."

 “Although it is fate

 But I refuse!"

 The gray-haired woman angrily showed the back of her hand.

 "Don't force me to use a Command Spell for something as frivolous as this."

 "That's it!"

 Jeanne spoke up, interrupting everyone.

 "I won't allow you to drag her into this war."

 The girl blinked in silence, then reached out and patted Jeanne on the shoulder.

 "Siegfried said, 'If I'm ever dragged into unnecessary responsibility, then that's my compensation.'"

 Jeanne nodded doubtfully.

 "Then I'll join."

 The girl said something in the calmest tone that no one expected.

 "Hey hey hey——"

 Astolfo instantly let out a sharp scream.

 Joan of Arc's face was also full of disbelief.

 “Instead of waiting for fate to find me, I should take the first step myself.”

 The girl stretched out her hands and grasped the hilt of the sword.

 "This way, maybe I can still have some initiative."

 "So, I will participate in this Holy Grail War... in the name of Siegfried."

 The girl drew out the greatsword, and strange black lines began to extend from her hands.

 “The first thing to do is to prove the value…”

 Ferocious wings spread out from behind the girl, and strange horns rose from her forehead.

 The hands and feet began to change in inhuman directions.

 "Come on..."

 A faint voice came from the girl's mouth, and the sharp dragon-slaying sword pointed directly at the man riding on horseback.

 "Interesting, then let Yu be your opponent."

 It's been so many years since I last saw that pure look in her eyes. The last time I saw it was right before Romania fell...

 A huge amount of magical power began to gather, and there was no one around.

 "balmung!"

 The blue torrent of magic rushed towards the man with unstoppable momentum.

 "Kazikli bey!"

 Countless spikes emerged from the ground one after another, firmly blocking the torrent of magic power while heading towards the girl.
