The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

You wanted to sneak in quietly.

【But the moment you opened the door, you saw an unexpected scene. 】

Joan of Arc, who was originally sleeping on the bed, had sat up at some point and was looking at Ian who had just opened the door with a sullen look on her face.

"elder brother!"

"Why did you go out while I was sleeping...are you going to meet some wild woman?!"

"..."

Looking at the angry Joan of Arc, Ian didn't hesitate and started to explain directly.

"I wanted to go out for a walk because I couldn't sleep."

"I did meet a girl, though."

"Just listen to me first—"

He sat down next to her and told her what had just happened.

[You told your step-sister Jeanne what happened in the hall. ]

[Of course, you only selectively told some of them. You did not tell Jeanne about the promises that Plerati made later.]

【She seemed a little surprised to learn all this. 】

"This..." The blonde girl seemed to have forgotten how to blink after practicing, "Did the English actually hire such a great magician?"

"Yes."

Ian nodded, indicating that his stepsister was right.

"So she might be able to provide us with some useful intelligence... maybe it will be useful someday in the future."

Joan of Arc is definitely not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason.

She understood her brother's difficulties and her anger soon subsided.

"I understand."

"In that case—"

"Let her go back with us to Domremi Village."

"Well, that's all."

【You and Jeanne have reached a consensus. 】

【You spent a peaceful night. 】

[You were going to tell Pulelati about this the next day.]

【However--】

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, there was a knock on the door.

Joan of Arc rubbed her sleepy eyes and still looked dazed.

"Who is it... coming to disturb you so early?"

Unlike his stepsister who complained, Ian simply got dressed and went to greet the person knocking on the door.

But after opening the door, the person standing in front of him stunned him.

That's Pulelati.

She blinked her beautiful purple eyes and looked at Ian who was greeting her.

"Hi~"

"It's been a whole night... You should have thought of how to answer me, right?"

"..."

Before Ian could finish his words, Joan of Arc quickly jumped up from the bed behind him and stood in front of her brother.

“Who are you——?!”

"What are you doing so close to my brother?!"

"Eh?!"

Joan of Arc's sudden appearance stunned Plerati.

She looked at Ian beside her with some confusion in her eyes.

"You were yesterday—"

"You didn't tell me you had a sister, did you?"

"Yes." Ian touched Joan of Arc's head and said with a smile.

"I certainly didn't mention that."

"Excuse me, Plelatie, this is my sister, Jeanne d'Arc."

"..."

Plerati looked around the room and then sneered.

"Ah."

"Then you two have a really good relationship... At this age, you still sleep in the same room?"

"..."

Joan of Arc's expression suddenly became uneasy - after all, what Plerati said was indeed the Achilles' heel for her and him in a sense.

Although the two are not related by blood, such intimacy is indeed beyond common sense.

But Ian wasn't nervous at all.

He had already thought about how to deal with it when someone asked this question.

"Plerati, just saving some gold coins."

"You don't want to find your bag empty when you're drinking, do you?"

"..."

Plerati curled his lips.

"Too."

"There's really no point in spending more money if you can save it."

"Let's not talk about this anymore—"

"About the suggestion I made."

"We agree," Ian replied. "You can go back to Domremy with us."

Maybe I got the answer I wanted.

Pulelati's expression showed a little more joy.

"Good."

"In that case, let's get going."

"You guys also want to go back to that village as soon as possible, right?"

【The journey of the three people began like this. 】

[Out of courtesy and the proper manners of a man, you gave up space in the carriage to your step-sister Jeanne and Plerati.]

[But you didn't expect that Plerati would take this opportunity to ask Jeanne about you.]

The carriage moved slowly along the country road, leaving two rows of ruts.

Pulelati looked at Ian, who was acting as a groom in front of him, and there was a hint of curiosity in his purple eyes.

"I'm talking to Jeanne."

"You and your brother, which magician's children are you? How come I have never heard of him before?"

"Eh?"

Jeanne was stunned by Plerati's words.

"magician?"

"What magician?"

"..."

The purple-haired girl turned around and looked at Jeanne d'Arc, who was wrapped like a little dumpling in her brother's clothes, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Your brother is a magician... didn't you know that?"

"magician?"

Joan of Arc's eyes widened a little, revealing a hint of surprise.

She shook her head, denying Pulelati's statement.

"I don't know... He didn't tell me he was a magician."

"..."

Plerati remained silent.

She glanced at Joan of Arc beside her, then looked at the groom Ian in front of her, and seemed to understand something.

"Oh~" She quickly changed the subject.

"Maybe I remembered it wrong?"

"Please pretend I didn't say anything--!"

[You don't know that such a conversation took place between Joan of Arc and Plerati in the carriage.]

[You don't even know that Pulelati has noticed something. ]

【Night falls.】

[You have arrived at a village.]

【You decide to rest here for one night. 】

【You have arrived at a local hostel. 】

As soon as she got the key from the proprietress here, Joan of Arc very sensibly picked up the box containing her and her brother's things and walked towards the reserved room.

Ian was about to follow, but Pulelati held his shoulder.

The boy turned around and looked at the purple-haired girl whom he had just met.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

Pulelati looked directly at Ian in front of him, with a hint of complicated emotions between his brows.

"Come out and chat for a while later."

[You sense that something is wrong with Pulelati's expression.]

【You realize that she may have something important to say to you. 】

[You hesitated for a while, but finally decided to agree to this request. ]

"Row."

"But I must tell Jeanne first."

"Ah."

[According to the agreement, you comforted Jeanne and found an excuse to leave.]

[She didn't doubt it, she just hoped you could come back soon.]

【You leave the room.】

[You met Pulelati who was waiting for you. ]

[You and Plelatti left the inn—you didn’t want your step-sister Jeanne to see you meeting Plelatti.]
