"Hello, Mr. Xia Yan—I am Danic Preston Yugdomrenia, the patriarch of the Thousand Worlds Tree. I apologize for interrupting your conversation with my niece, but I'd like to know the name of the supervisor of the Holy Church you just mentioned."

"Amakusa Shiro."

"He looks like a young man with brown skin and white hair?"

"Yes."

"The Red Lancer Karna said he has an aura very similar to that of a Heroic Spirit?"

"It's true."

Karna didn't say anything, but after he left, no one could verify it himself, so Xia Yan felt at ease and put all the blame for the spoiler on him.

"According to Karna, apart from Saber's Master and me, the unexpected Master of Caster, the Masters of the other four Servant's on the Red Side have all fallen under the control of the Holy Church's Overseer, Amakusa Shiro. Furthermore, for unknown reasons, this man issued the order to kill Ruler. It was also this man who illegally summoned Avenger... What's the matter, Lord Danic?"

"No, no, no... nothing."

Danic's voice trembled slightly. After taking a deep breath, he regained his composure and said:

"I've already sent someone to contact Ruler, and will later try to contact the Red Saber's Master. If possible, I hope that you, as the Red Camp's Master, Caster, will appear as a witness to accuse the Red Camp of cheating in this Holy Grail War."

"no problem."

Second copy: 52. Love-minded, naive, and whistle-breaking referee

In the midday sun.

The whole world seemed to become bright.

However, no matter how bright the sunshine was, it could not change the gloom in the heart of a blonde girl who was currently standing on a higher hill in the forest not far from the castle of Yugdomilenia, gazing at the swastika flag fluttering above the ruined castle from afar.

Jeanne d'Arc is a Ruler-class Servant in the Romanian Holy Grail War. She was summoned by the Greater Holy Grail for the battle of 14 Heroic Spirits based on her own logical judgment. In theory, she will not favor either the red or black side, and acts only to protect the concept of the "Holy Grail War" itself.

Since she did not descend to occupy one of the seven knight classes, Jeanne, as the Judge, did not have a Master Contract to manifest herself. Instead, she possessed a French peasant girl named Leticia, and achieved a dual fusion from the spiritual to the physical level with this modern French peasant girl, whose compatibility with her was almost perfect.

Of course, this also laid the groundwork for Joan of Arc to become a love-brained, naive, and whistle-blower in the original F/A plot.

After all, the dual fusion of spiritual and physical levels prevents Jeanne from becoming a spirit, and she must eat. Although she has the physical qualities of a Servant, her subconscious is connected to the human body. Therefore, as a Servant, high-intensity activities will also consume extra calories.

This was true for the body, and the spiritual aspect was even more difficult to describe. After the two personalities merged together, Leticia's self-awareness was not unilaterally cut off, resulting in Leticia's thoughts and emotions being completely mixed in Joan of Arc's mind.

The reason why Joan of Arc developed a pedophilia (no mistake) and turned Sieg, an artificial human who was probably not even a month old, into a love-brained naive person, was largely due to the influence of Leticia's values ​​as an old European white leftist.

In short, in the original F/A plot, Joan of Arc was greatly influenced by Leticia and could not distinguish her true feelings.

The same is true now.

This was the biggest political issue in old Europe in the decades since the end of World War II, and even a village girl like Leticia was not immune to it.

Leticia recognized the flag.

It is a symbol that is recorded in history and is unforgettable throughout old Europe and even the whole world, but is not willing to be mentioned most of the time.

The political issue has become so serious that anyone who holds, hangs or waves this flag in a public area, regardless of the reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, may be detained, arrested and prosecuted.

Therefore, Joan of Arc also recognized the flag and shared the thoughts and emotions that Leticia was experiencing at the moment, and instinctively felt disgust and aversion towards it.

To the extent that, under this overly intense thinking, Jeanne was about to rush forward and use her privilege as a Ruler to search for the location of the Servant who summoned those NC zombie soldiers, then kill him in front of him, activate the class skill [True Judgment] to forcibly inflict two Command Seals on the Servant, and order him to commit suicide.

"Wait, Leticia, wait a moment..."

However, before being completely overwhelmed by the thinking of the modern French peasant girl, the 14th-century French peasant girl still reacted and forcibly suppressed this impulse.

This is not because Joan of Arc is disgusted, because in the original plot of F/A, she is not immune to even Leticia's emotions and impulses towards Sieg, and the same is naturally true now, but the identity and position of the referee at this moment, strictly restrains and restricts her personal preferences and actions.

At least, until she confirmed that the other party had solid "evidence" of violation, unless it affected the development and progress of the concept of "Holy Grail War" or she herself was attacked.

Otherwise, Jeanne, constrained by her Ruler job, would not be able to proactively inflict unilateral malice on any Servant or faction in this Holy Grail War.

It would be the same even if the other side raised that flag.

But Joan of Arc was torn in her heart, dealing with the negative emotions she couldn't even figure out. Was it because of Leticia's thoughts and feelings, or because of the knowledge of modern life that she had been infused with through the Holy Grail, which clearly told her that decades ago, France, to which she had devoted everything when she was alive, had once been trampled under the feet of that flag, just like the Hundred Years' War.

"……Um?"

Joan of Arc was suddenly stunned.

Then, with her reaction speed as a Servant and the ability to search for enemies granted by her job privilege, she immediately noticed a bird familiar that seemed to be made of mud, landing on a branch of the big tree next to her.

Then, the single eye on the bird-like demon's head turned and focused on her.

Just as Joan of Arc clenched the holy flag with a spear head in her hand and prepared to shoot down the bird familiar, a voice rang out.

"Dear Ruler, I am Danic Preston Yugdomrenia, the Master and participant of the Black Faction in this Holy Grail War. Greetings."

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Hearing this somewhat aristocratic greeting, the French girl tilted her head and subconsciously showed a look of vigilance.

"Yes, I hereby, in the name of the Black Faction's Yugdomirenia, file a complaint against the Red Faction for cheating in the Holy Grail War. We have also obtained the consent of the Red Faction's Caster Master to appear as a witness."

"Furthermore, I would like you to contact Saber of the Red Camp and her Master, Lion Jiejieli, to attend the hearing of our complaint..."

"what?"

The French peasant girl's eyes widened.

Afterwards, with the help of Danic, who communicated remotely with the help of his familiar, and his tireless explanation and narration, Joan of Arc's expression changed from confusion to seriousness.

Especially when Danik threw out someone's spoiler and gave a slight hint.

"Amakusa Shiro..."

Jeanne almost instinctively began to chant the name of the Overseer of the Templar Church and one of the Masters of the Red Faction, and felt her inherent skill [Revelation] being triggered by this name.

Her A-rank [Revelation] gives her an effect similar to the [Intuition] of the same level, but it can be applied to all matters related to the achievement of goals, such as: choosing the most suitable route during a journey. After [Revelation] is triggered, Jeanne d'Arc immediately instinctively connects everything she has seen, the doubts she has had so far, and the disgust and aversion she cannot clearly distinguish in her heart.

It was as if an invisible presence personally enlightened her thoughts and told her what to do next.

"I agreed."

So, Joan of Arc agreed without hesitation, and no longer had any psychological burden or moral obstacles about the idea of ​​blowing the whistle against the red camp that had previously arisen in her mind.

With full enthusiasm and initiative, she quickly found the red Saber and her master who had already arrived near Tulipas with the help of the information provided by Danic, relying on the ability to search for enemies within a radius of ten kilometers without affecting their breath, as well as the exploration ability similar to the map display granted by her job privilege.

After acting as a guarantor as a referee, Jeanne, who put aside the 'century-long friendship between Britain and France' between her and Xiao Mo, arrived at the negotiation location given by Danic with Red Saber Mordred and Master Lion Jie Jie Li.

A farm located on the outskirts of Tuliface.

Since the NC zombie army that occupied the castle did not go out to sweep the area, but instead stationed themselves around the castle and built fortifications, Tulipas and the nearby villages had no idea what was happening. This also allowed magicians such as Danik from the Thousand Worlds Tree to have a place to stay for the time being.

In this regard, Mordred and Lion Jie Li, who had been informed of the changes by Joan of Arc on the way here, muttered a few words in private and were not surprised why they had to negotiate in such a place.

Jeanne, who was determined to black whistle the Red Team, pushed open the door of the farm house and walked in without any hesitation, her eyes sweeping over the Master Eugene and the Servant who came to greet her.

Then, after noticing a strange Asian face.

"!"

Joan of Arc suddenly shuddered all over.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world no longer mattered. The [revelation] from an invisible existence made her focus her attention on the strange man. A strong curiosity arose in her mind, whether it was hers or Leticia's.

And curiosity... is often the beginning of fall.

Second instance: 53. Assembly

After agreeing to Danic's proposal to attend the "meeting" as the "Red Caster Master" to testify, and contact Jeanne, the referee, to accuse the Red camp of cheating in this Holy Grail War.

Near dusk that day, Xia Yan brought Irena to the address given by Danik. As soon as he entered the house on the farm on the outskirts of Tulipas, he immediately saw a man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties, wearing a white shirt, black pants, a white cloak with gold edges, and holding a cane.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Xia Yan."

After seeing him come in, the man took the initiative to greet him politely with an elegant and graceful posture and tone.

If this place was not a house on a farm, and if one did not know that the headquarters of the Thousand Worlds Tree had fallen last night and the person in front of him had been driven out, one would probably have thought that this was a noble receiving guests from afar in his own luxurious hall.

Considering that F/Z's The Pot of Everything in This World always maintains an aristocratic and elegant demeanor, it is conceivable that magicians who have been in Europe for a long time, especially those who have been in the Clock Tower, should all look like this.

But Xia Yan had no intention of slapping the other person in the face.

I simply responded politely.

"Hello, Master of the Thousand Worlds Tree."

Ultimately, the two sides were still secretly united "allies." Even though the alliance between them was tied to Fiore alone, as long as the eldest daughter of Yugdomilenia, who was also the next head of the family as chosen by Danic, had not died in this Holy Grail War, the alliance would still be effective.

Well, the premise is that the master of Danic and the [Thousand Worlds Tree] doesn't know that he can already break the contract without paying the price.

So, after exchanging some hypocritical greetings with Danik, Xia Yan took the initiative to stand in a corner of the room, looking at the other people attending the "meeting" very frankly, and also accepting the gazes of others.

His eyes first swept over Fiore, a girl who was obviously a little depressed and, due to her disabled legs, now exuded the temperament of a sickly beauty. He nodded in a friendly manner to her and to Teacher Ma beside her.

Then, Xia Yan looked at the other people.

They are a mature lady with gray hair and big breasts, dressed like a female teacher, and a transvestite with pink hair and pussy following beside her.

This combination is also highly recognizable. Even though there is a significant difference between the two-dimensional paper figure and the three-dimensional image, Xia Yan immediately recognized that this was Ah Fu and the master of the [Thousand Worlds Tree] before making the contract with Sieg in the original plot.

I can't remember the name, but it doesn't matter.

In addition, there is a little boy and a magician dressed in strange clothes and wearing a brass metal mask.

This is also easy to distinguish, Black Caster of [Thousand Worlds Tree] and the Master. The former also appeared in the Russian Lostbelt in the second part of FGO, and his Noble Phantasm was one of the biggest contributors to Gudako's victory over Ivan the Terrible, who was said to have a main god-level spiritual base.

Of course, if F/A's Avisbronn had the same situation as in the Russian Lostbelt, there would have been no need to fight this Romanian Holy Grail War. He would have been able to go head-to-head with the King of the Lostbelt at the god level. Even Little Sun couldn't defeat him and he could have directly pushed all the way from Romania to the Clock Tower headquarters.

Unfortunately, that is a miracle that can only be triggered by the existence of Gudako, the destined Grand Master + Succubus.

Then, there was a young man standing next to Fiore, who looked about the same age as her, and a servant next to him, who was dressed like a bride.

This one is also easy to recognize. He is Fiore's younger brother, Colles, who will eventually become Weber's disciple no matter which world line he is in, and the black-side Berserker Frankenstein girl he summoned.

The above basically matches the characters in the F/A plot that Xia Yan remembers.

I just don't know why I didn't see a fat person.

But he saw Siegfried, nicknamed "Sorry" - his appearance was very recognizable and Xia Yan recognized him almost at first sight.

After noticing the three Command Seals on the back of Danic's hand, which were as vivid as ever.

Xia Yan suddenly understood.

The second-generation director of the neighboring FGO world line, the biological father in the F/A world line, ultimately could not avoid the fate of losing the Heroic Spirit.

The difference is that this time it was not Sieg's deus ex machina that destroyed it, but Danic, who lost Vlad III last night, transferred the contract to Niu.

If you think about it carefully, this development is not surprising. The lair of the Thousand Worlds Tree has fallen, the Holy Grail has been taken away, and the entire situation has collapsed to the point where it is extremely bad for Yogdomilenia. Danic must have thought of a way out.

Although Gold was far inferior to Fiore in terms of magician qualifications, the latter had signed a self-enforced contract with him, the "foreign aid", and it was impossible for her to escape at this time. Avisbronn's Master was too young, and Colles would not abandon his sister. Alfu's Master was a psychopath with a sadistic tendency. After much thought, Gold was the only one who could be entrusted with a way out.

In the later part of F/A's plot, this fat uncle did perform reliably, and now he can only be said to be the best, but not the best choice. At least Danik will definitely not withdraw. Even if he cannot win, the best result for [Thousand Worlds Tree] is for him, the head of the family, to die in battle.

In short, after observing the people from the Thousand Worlds Tree, Xia Yan didn't say much and waited patiently.

Wait until the sun sets completely.

The farm welcomed visitors again.

"Welcome, Miss Ruler."

Seeing the two women and one man pushing the door open, Danik showed a relieved expression, lowered his posture and stepped forward to greet them.

Xia Yan also looked over.

First, there was a knight in silver-white armor, with no face shown at all. A glance at the red patterns on the armor revealed that it was, as expected, some naughty kid. Behind her followed a burly man who looked like a gangster.

And in front of this 'father-daughter' combination.

It was a blonde girl with pigtails.

Coincidentally, just as Xia Yan looked over, the blonde girl also looked over at the right moment and their eyes met across the air.

Just for a moment.

"..."

【Sword Heart Clear】

Xia Yan activated this method of knocking on the heart without any hesitation, in order to avoid to the greatest extent possible some thoughts in his mind that might suddenly take over his mind under the drive and influence of certain factors.

At the same time, he noticed that there seemed to be something else in the blonde girl's gaze. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed in his heart.

"Alaya... MD is mentally retarded."
