Their commission was suspicious.

"Deal!" The Chaldea members made this decision after discussion.

Anyway, it's just giving the extra Command Seals to Chen Luo when they're about to overflow.

If we could obtain the Holy Grail without resorting to force, that would be a win-win situation.

Chaldea is indeed eager to save the world, but saving the world requires a gradual approach. They can't be fighting in the Singularity every single moment; there will always be Command Seals available.

Check the contract, sign the contract, transaction successful...

The price paid for signing the contract was naturally the magical power extracted from Xiao Chenluo's body.

Since it was a mandatory contract, Chen Luo didn't need to do anything. If the Command Seals overflowed, they would automatically be sent to Chen Luo. Therefore, it involved spatial transfer, and thus required a considerable amount of magical power.

They almost drained Chen Luo dry, but still couldn't satisfy even 1/10 of his needs, so they had no choice but to use the Holy Grail's magic.

"The remaining magical power should be enough for you to witness the miracle of the world's correction, provided that no battle occurs." Chen Luo, who had shrunk considerably again, sat back on Jeanne d'Arc Alter's shoulder.

Chen Luo doesn't have a great need for magic power. As long as the consciousness of this part of the inner demon clone returns, Chen Luo's main body has already fully recovered its magic power.

It just so happens that using a teleportation anchor point doesn't require magic.

Chen Luo has contributed a little magic to Chaldea Province, though not much, but one should not refrain from doing good because it is small.

Chaldea is now extremely poor.

"Hmph." Black Jeanne didn't say anything about Chen Luo's thoughtfulness.

"Mr. Emergency Food, Ms. Jeanne Alter, the Holy Grail has been successfully retrieved. We will now begin the correction of the era." Mash said as she approached after confirming that the Holy Grail had been retrieved.

Just moments ago they were fighting to the death, but now they can face each other calmly. This is a novel experience for Mashu.

The current Jeanne d'Arc Alter seems to have completely given up, or rather... has absolutely no will to live.

As Mashu finished speaking, the bodies of the two dragon-type Servants, Elizabeth and Kiyohime, who were chatting with Gudako, began to slowly dissipate.

Chen Luo had considered getting along well with these two dragon-type Servants and building up their favor, since they were dragon-type Servants.

Unfortunately, these two dragon-type Servants were not of a high enough level; only high-level dragons could provide the "Friendship of Dragons." In addition, Chen Luo didn't really have any opportunities to interact with them, so he gave up on the idea.

I guess only those fantasy-level dragons can be considered high-level dragons... Wait, if these two don't count, does King Arthur count?

Was King Arthur a red dragon?

cough cough...

After the era begins to be corrected, Servants who do not belong to this era will naturally disappear, returning to where they came from (Throne of Heroes).

After the Holy Grail was retrieved, the wyverns at the site of the great battle began to gradually disappear due to the corrective effects of the era. Siegfried, Georgios, and Amadeus, having foreseen the outcome, also began their farewells.

Of course, there are also those like Joan of Arc who were summoned to this world immediately after their death...

After bidding farewell to Gudako and Mashu as they were about to leave, Jeanne d'Arc walked straight to Jeanne Alter.

After this singularity is corrected, Jeanne d'Arc Alter, who does not belong to this era, will naturally return to where she came from. However, the biggest problem is that Jeanne d'Arc Alter has nowhere to go.

After learning the truth about Jeanne Alter and receiving confirmation from Gilles de Rais, Jeanne looked at Jeanne Alter with a myriad of thoughts.

Gilles de Rais wished to the Holy Grail to resurrect Jeanne d'Arc, but the omnipotent Grail said that this was the only wish he could not fulfill. So Gilles de Rais chose to create the Dragon Witch, Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

In this sense, it is because of Joan of Arc that Black Joan of Arc appeared.

Having realized this, Joan of Arc now sees the Black Joan of Arc before her as her own fault.

It's not that Jeanne Alter shouldn't have been born, but rather that her fate shouldn't have been predetermined from birth.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you trying to humiliate the weak as the victor? Although I don't have much magic power right now, I still have the strength to fight." Jeanne Alter said, patting Chen Luo on the shoulder.

Jeanne d'Arc felt that Chen Luo's emergency rations should be enough for her to fight.

perhaps……

Well, that's completely unacceptable. It's as if Chen Luo had no intention of letting Jeanne Alter take action at all, squandering all the magic power except for what was needed to keep Jeanne Alter alive.

It's impossible to defeat! It's simply impossible to defeat!

“No, I didn’t have that thought. It’s just that I feel amazing to be able to stand together so calmly right now.” Joan of Arc shook her head.

When Jeanne d'Arc learned that Dark Jeanne d'Arc did not possess her previous memories, she said, "I will not defeat the Dragon Witch with anger, but with compassion!"

Because Joan of Arc knew the true tragedy of Jeanne d'Arc's birth.

Does a being born solely for revenge truly have any meaning in life once the flames of revenge are extinguished?

Now that the Dragon Witch has given up the fight, Jeanne feels that perhaps she can finally have a calm talk with her.

"I always felt that if we hadn't met in a singularity, we might have become good friends. Thinking about it, we actually have quite a lot in common, or rather, we're fundamentally quite similar," Jeanne said, smiling at Jeanne Alter.

Jeanne Alter was created by Gilles de Rais himself, and when it comes to understanding Jeanne, Gilles de Rais is second to none, and this understanding is not superficial, but a true understanding of her essence.

Therefore, it is quite normal that Jeanne Alter and Jeanne d'Arc are very similar.

"How disgusting." Jeanne Alter looked at Jeanne with disgust.

If it weren't for the fact that her current magic power couldn't sustain the battle, Black Jeanne would have really wanted to burn the Jeanne in front of her aside and prevent her from getting close to her.

"I'm actually a little happy, it feels like I've gained a twin sister..."

The world is truly wondrous, or rather, Servants are truly wondrous. Just recently, Jeanne d'Arc and Mash killed Jeanne d'Arc Alter twice, yet now they can stand together and talk calmly.

Of course, it is also possible that this is a quality and aspiration possessed only by the saintly woman who had the world in her heart.

Upon hearing Joan of Arc's words, Black Joan of Arc glared angrily at Joan of Arc, but was unable to do anything about it.

Given the amount of magic power Chen Luo can currently possess, he would likely consume all of it as soon as he makes a move.

"By the way, you... do you want to go to Chaldea with them?" Jeanne d'Arc looked at the furious yet slightly frightened Black Jeanne d'Arc and chose to change the subject.

If Jeanne d'Arc Alter, with her current mindset, went to Chaldea, she might become an ally in saving the world.

“Yes, theoretically it’s difficult to bring you, the Dragon Witch, to Chaldea, but with the Magical Girl Teriri, it should be fine,” Mash said as she walked over.

Moreover, having the magical girl Teriri should be able to keep the Dragon Witch in line, rather than causing damage to Calery—that's the most important thing.

Chaldea now needs to unite all available forces, even those that were once adversaries.

Everything was for the sake of saving the world!

"Forget it. I'm not interested in Chaldea, and if I went to Chaldea with you, we'd definitely have to sign a contract, right? But you're too late. Emergency Food is now my contractor." Jeanne Alter pointed to Chen Luo, who was only about half the size of a palm, perched on her shoulder.

Chen Luo shrank again.

"Oh, is that so?"

"Of course, more importantly, I'm not interested. Don't try to persuade me anymore. It seems someone is coming, and they don't seem like someone I can get along with. I'm leaving now." Jeanne Alter glanced at the figure rushing towards them in the distance before choosing to depart.

"Joan of Arc!" Marshal Gilles of the Sword enters.

“Gil…” The one before me is the real Gilles de Rais, at least the Gilles de Rais who exists in this era.

“That…” Gildre seemed to have just caught a glimpse of a black figure flash past him.

Gildre initially thought it was the Dragon Witch, but the person was a quarter smaller than the Dragon Witch and looked to be at most a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Miss Dragon Witch, are you really not going to Chaldea? If you don't go, you might disappear..." The Holy Grail has been retrieved, and after learning the truth about Jeanne Alter, Mash suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for Jeanne Alter.

This doesn't mean that the things the Dragon Witch did are simply forgotten, but emotions can always be stirred up by one's own circumstances.

Mashu was born through in-vitro fertilization in Chaldea in 2000 and is now 16 years old.

Roman stated that Mash's maximum active age is 18, and that fusing with a Heroic Spirit did not inhibit her cellular aging. Therefore, Mash could die at any time…

In other timelines, the reason no one cares about the incineration is because the Demon Pillars believe that humanity has not yet reached a point of no return.

In this timeline, after witnessing Mash's ordeal, Lev Lenore Flauros (the human form of a Demon Pillar) concluded that humanity no longer had any reason to exist, and therefore, the world was truly doomed...

In some ways, Mash and Jeanne Alter are very similar.

All of these lives were created out of selfish desires.

Moreover... they will all die soon.

Mash will die in two years due to in-vitro fertilization, while Jeanne d'Arc Alter will die after the world is corrected, at which point all Servants will be removed from the stage. Since Jeanne d'Arc Alter does not exist on the Throne of Heroes, her departure signifies her complete demise.

"No, I'm not interested." After being rejected multiple times by the Dragon Witch, Mashu, under the doctor's orders, finally chose to give up and began preparing for the spirit transfer with Gudako, returning to Chaldea.

Mash took the Holy Grail with her, which signifies that the world's correction is about to begin.

"Aren't you planning to leave?" Chen Luo, whose body was not much bigger than Thumbelina, asked.

"Ah, yes, I'll probably choose to perish along with this world. Sorry for the loss of a dragon witch who signed a contract to sell herself," Jeanne Alter said without any remorse.

"Also, don't stop me."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“Your voice should contain some apology, so that your apology will seem genuine,” Chen Luo said.

Jeanne d'Arc Alter made a remarkably accurate comment about her grown-up self: "With that 'what's the point' attitude, I have absolutely no sense of a future. I'm practically heading straight for destruction."

"Leave me alone?"

"Come on, I'm still your Master, can't you show some respect?"

"Tch, just emergency rations, you don't even have a Command Seal." Jeanne Alter curled her lip in disdain.

"Hiss, I really don't have a Command Seal that belongs to you..."

That's true.

"Hey, emergency food, those situations where you die and get pulled to your shop by a contract shouldn't happen anymore, right?" Jeanne Alter suddenly asked.

“No, the contract will only take effect once. You have no idea how much I paid to get this chance to bring you to the bar before I die. I just didn’t expect to summon you here…” Xiao Chenluo said, stroking his chin.

"And don't call me emergency food anymore. I was just joking, but you're not allowed to say it." Now Chen Luo suddenly understood Paimon's feelings.

"So you're saying you want those Shadow Servants more than me? You really have no taste," Jeanne Alter sneered.

The world's correction began to take effect, and Jeanne Alter could feel that the world was rejecting her.

The magic acted as a countermeasure against the repulsion, but judging from the speed at which Chen Luo's body was shrinking, it probably wouldn't last much longer.

"I'm looking forward to the future more than I'm focusing on the present because I know we'll meet again."

Chen Luo used to believe that the Shinjuku Singularity was bound to occur, and that he would have another chance to trick Jeanne d'Arc Alter... and make a deal with her again. So why be sad about the unlikely event of Jeanne d'Arc Alter's passing?

Chen Luo's words contained serious logical flaws, but Jeanne d'Arc Alter was about to die, so she naturally didn't care.

“But you really made me lose a lot. I lost an avatar and a lot of magic power,” Chen Luo said.

"If we ever have the chance to meet again, I'll apologize to you." Jeanne Alter stood at the very top of the prison city.

"Is an apology all it takes?"

"Oh, what else do you want? Tell me, maybe I'll be in a better mood and agree," Jeanne Alter asked.

Since there's no future anyway, any promises made now are just empty checks; the bigger the better.

At least it can somewhat make up for the other party's feeling of having suffered a huge loss.

After all, the other person has been really good to me.

He had already signed a contract of servitude, and keeping himself enslaved in the bar forever might have been the best option, but instead, he sent himself to the First Singularity, gave up his clone as a magic power provider, and ended up getting free stuff...

"Hmm, how about wearing a maid outfit? No one has ever dressed me in a maid outfit before. Judah's Oath wears that outfit every day, so I haven't really asked..."

Because that outfit, so similar to Karen's, might hold special significance for the Judah Oath. Chen Luo thought to himself.

As for Yvette, she's too busy with real life and hardly ever goes back to the bar anymore, which Chen Luo misses quite a bit.

"Okay." Although Jeanne Alter didn't know much about maid outfits, it didn't stop her from readily agreeing.

Even if we have the chance to meet again, it might be years later, right?

"Well... goodnight, sweet dreams." As Chen Luo finished speaking, his last bit of magic was transferred to Jeanne d'Arc Alter, and his body turned back into a single black hair, which Jeanne d'Arc Alter held in her hand.

A gust of wind blew by, and Jeanne Alter instinctively clenched her fist over the strand of hair, but when she opened her hand, the hair had vanished.

Jeanne Alter sat atop the prison city, watching as the land she had conquered was once again taken over by humans, and sighed.

Without the aid of magic, Jeanne Alter's body began to dissolve into the most basic spiritual particles and gradually disappeared.

In the end, he had no one around him, not even a single hair...

Sitting in the bar, Chen Luo retrieved the strand of hair that had returned to his hand through the teleportation point, naturally connecting the Servant contract with Jeanne d'Arc Alter contained within the hair to his main body.

Chen Luo slowly took out a sticker from his backpack, a sticker with a golden Command Seal drawn on it...

"Judah's Oath, can you help me look in Alicia's original dormitory in the Doll World? I remember there was a pink maid outfit in Alicia's closet..." Chen Luo shouted to Judah's Oath while sticking the sticker on the back of his hand.
