The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." Plerati raised the glass in his hand, "Have a few more drinks with me, and I will tell you more."

[You and Pulelati drank a lot of wine.]

【But she didn't tell you any more useful information. 】

【You have concluded this meeting.】

[You pretended to know nothing and returned to Jeanne. And told her most of the things.]

[Of course, this does not include the discussion about magic later in this article.]

【You will never have another meeting like this in your future journey.】

[After a while, you finally returned to Dongremi Village after going through so much hardship. ]

[But you didn't expect that this native village would directly betray you. ]

[On the day of your arrival, you were captured by the Burgundians who were waiting there.]

【That is the simplest and most effective betrayal. 】

212. The Birth of Jeanne's Other Side/The Curse of Yokohime/Betrayal (4k)

【This is a betrayal that has been planned for a long time. 】

[It's just that this betrayal was so thorough and so straightforward. ]

【After the defeat at Orleans, the meanness of the English began to spread to corners you didn’t know about.】

[After you left, the Burgundians who allied with them continued to put pressure on the village of Domremy, and the accompanying looting became more and more serious.]

【Not everyone can foresee the future. 】

[In order to save the entire village, without your knowledge, all the villagers unanimously agreed to the "redemption" plan to lure Jeanne back.]

[In the eyes of these villagers, it would be a great bargain to exchange Jeanne for the long-term peace of Domremy Village.]

Every day people pray in the church in Domremy village.

They clasped their hands together and prayed in the name of Joan of Arc, hoping that she would return soon.

Everything looks so pious, as if they are this saint.

but--

If you get close to them and listen carefully to what they say after praying, you will immediately feel creepy.

"If you are a saint--"

"It won't hurt to make a sacrifice, right?"

"Anyway, the angels will come and save her!"

"She is the one the Lord is watching, isn't she?!"

The villagers' so-called expectation was just that Joan of Arc would return to Domremy Village as soon as possible because of the deceptive letter, and then dedicate herself to the village where she was born.

From this perspective -

At this moment, every prayer that permeates the air of the village is actually the whisper of the devil.

They were so despicable that they had already nailed Joan of Arc to the cross, a symbol of sacrifice, in their hearts.

Even though she once saved the village.

【This is a scam.】

[The moment you stepped into the village, you and Jeanne were surrounded by the Burgundians who were lying in ambush here.]

[You don't even have time to turn into a dragon - because you never thought that the villagers' betrayal would be so straightforward. ]

【You and Jeanne have been caught. 】

[You were put in the same cell.]

[And Pulelati disappeared during this process. ]

moonlit night.

Everything happened so quickly that it seemed like a dream.

But the prison bars standing before him were telling Ian one thing:

These are all true.

The villagers decided to betray the two brothers and sisters just for a moment of peace in Dongremi Village.

The boy sighed.

He stretched out his hand and touched the vertical poles in front of him.

as predicted--

There is extremely powerful magic on it.

If it is not untied, even if I turn into a dragon, I will not be able to take Jeanne out of here.

But this is not something incomprehensible.

After all, in the eyes of the English, Joan of Arc was a saint who had met with angels. If she was not strongly stopped by magic of this level, she might have escaped on the very night she was captured.

But the problem is-

Joan of Arc was not really a saint.

For Jeanne, this kind of magic...

No, it should be a gap that cannot be crossed for the two of them.

What on earth should we do now?

"elder brother……"

Joan of Arc's voice brought Ian back from his thoughts.

When he came to his senses, he found his sister shivering in the corner of the cell.

She hugged her legs with her hands, rested her head on her knees, and looked very scared.

This scene almost broke Ian's heart as his sworn brother.

He temporarily gave up the idea of ​​getting rid of the prison magic and quickly sat down next to his sister.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked as gently as possible:

"Jeanne, what's wrong?"

"..."

"I'm sorry." Joan of Arc's hands trembled slightly as she spoke words full of apology.

"I shouldn't have said I would come back... Now my brother and I have been caught here together."

"I'm stupid, really."

"..."

You realize that Joan feels betrayed.

[But she was kind-hearted and didn't think of blaming the villagers of Dongremi Village at the first time.]

[She actually felt that her eagerness to return to the village was a burden to you.]

You realize that this is not a reasonable idea.

"No, Jeanne."

Ian hugged his stepsister and stroked her head with some trembling.

"this is not your fault."

"You are just too kind... so kind that you want to come back as soon as you know something is wrong with the village."

"You shouldn't be apologizing to me for something like this."

"Jeanne, there's nothing wrong with your kindness - the only ones who are wrong are the bastards who take advantage of your kindness!"

Hearing this, Joan of Arc could no longer control her tears.

She hugged her brother, buried her head in his arms, and burst into tears.

“Aaaaaaaaah… Why did it become like this?!?”

The girl's voice was filled with pain.

That was the unspoken sadness that arises when a kind person is betrayed - this was the first time she truly felt this.

It turns out that after trying so hard to do so many things for others... I will still be betrayed without hesitation like this in the end.

"A France like this... should be destroyed."

Another voice appeared in Joan of Arc's heart, which she herself had never heard.

[You are not aware of the other voice born in Joan of Arc's heart. ]

[It shouldn't have existed, but because of this heartbreaking betrayal, it went against common sense and appeared in this world. ]

【You don’t know all this. 】

[You just want to comfort your stepsister. ]

【But Joan of Arc continued to cry for a long time, and only fell asleep leaning against the wall late at night. 】

The moonlight shone through the high window of the prison and fell in front of Ian.

In the midst of the white snow, a voice kept echoing in his mind.

want to go out.

Must go out.

This was the only thought in the boy's mind.

however--

Reality will not change because of personal wishes.

I can't do this kind of thing myself.

He tried to summon the dragon face, but found that it did not respond because it was afraid that he would turn into a dragon.

But this is not a reason to give up.

The boy tried again and again.

Even though the results are not ideal, we must never give up.

I have to get my sister out of here no matter what!

Just at this time--

There was a sound of tapping footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

A figure was seen slowly approaching the prison where the brother and sister were from the other end of the corridor.

She got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Ian who was trying to break through the obstacle.

"So he was caught. How pitiful."

The person who came was none other than Plerati who had disappeared not long ago.

"..."

Ian looked at the purple-haired girl in front of him, his expression a little complicated for a moment.

But in the end, he smiled and said:

"So you're okay... That's great."

"I haven't seen you in so long."

"I thought you had been killed by those Burgundians."

"..."
