Artoria's cranky shin didn't know, and he continued to lie on the couch for a while, regaining some strength, and he sat back down at his desk and continued to burst his liver.

I had just sketched two strokes, and the footsteps sounded again.

Shinji didn't take it seriously and said casually.

"What's wrong? Artoria, is something missing? ”

"No, it's not. ”

"Huh?"

The brush in her hand paused, and the voice coming from behind her was equally familiar, but it did not belong to Artoria, but to a person very similar to her.

"It turned out to be Joan of Arc, really, what's going on tonight, running over one after another......"

Shinji sighed as he left the chair that was not yet hot and returned to the sofa that had not yet cooled down.

Joan of Arc asked curiously, "Has anyone else been here besides me?"

"Yes, first little Jack and Lingxia came over to bring me supper, and then Artoria, who left just a few minutes before you came. ”

"Because they're worried about you, they're afraid you'll be tired. ”

"So, you came to see me because you were worried about me?"

"I'm worried about you, but not only for that reason - Black Assassin, no, Shinji Makiri, I want to talk to you. ”

Looking at Joan of Arc's serious expression and serious eyes, Shinji restrained his relaxed mind and sat upright.

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about your very existence. ”

"Is there anything wrong with my existence itself?"

"Yes. To be honest, I'm confused - your presence, your actions, whether your participation in the Holy Grail War itself counts as a violation or not. ”

"Until now, you're still struggling with this......"

"It is true that I was summoned in this form because of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, but since I am a ruler, I must fulfill my duties as a judge. ”

A touch of helplessness appeared on Shinji's face: "I see, it's really your style." Tell me, what is it about me that makes you feel like you're violating the rules?"

"It's the 'Winter Maiden'. You're not a heroic spirit, but you've become a servant, so she should have arranged all of this. ”

"Yes. ”

"The Heroic Spirit descends and becomes a Servant, this is a necessary step in the Holy Grail War. And your appearance has caused the Heroic Spirit who should be an assassin to lose his position, and the position you occupy should belong to Little Jack - even if your purpose is to solve the distortion of this Holy Grail War, but this act itself is a distortion, and use distortion to solve distortions-"

With wide eyes and an awe-inspiring expression, the upright saint told her persistence.

"—I don't think that's right. ”

However, the entire Holy Grail system was constructed by Ustisa, and Eatricesa herself sacrificed herself to become the core of the Great Holy Grail, and thus received permission to interfere with the system. ”

"That's where I'm confused. ”

Joan of Arc's high voice faded down.

"The 'Winter Maiden' has legitimate authority, but the result of exercising its legitimate authority has caused distortions, and I, as the adjudicator, should uphold the rules and resolve the distortions......

It's the equivalent of an unsolvable loop.

"And what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, so I want you to come and give me an answer. ”

"Me?"

Shinji scratched his head and looked at Joan of Arc without blinking, who nodded vigorously.

"Yes. ”

"Are you serious?"

Shinji is angry and funny.

"Ask me, the client, are you afraid that I will deliberately say something that is beneficial to me?"

To this, Joan of Arc just said very calmly.

"Because I believe in you, I believe in my partner, and the final judgment is up to me, I accept whatever the outcome. ”

The firmness of those eyes that washed the sky made Shinji feel a little amazing while admiring.

"I can't help you, but that's what makes you so cute. ”

"But, cute or something...... Please don't make fun of me. ”

"How is this a joke, I'm just stating the facts, I don't believe you can go out and pull someone to ask. If you don't say 100 percent, 90 percent of people will definitely say you're cute. ”

"I, how could I possibly ask that kind of question!!"

Joan of Arc's cheeks flushed, and only then did she look like a maiden.

"Then I'm the only one to ask. ”

"Black Assassin !!"

Seeing that Joan of Arc was in a hurry, Shinji hurriedly stopped.

"Okay, I'll stop talking about it, and continue with the topic. Before I give my answer, I have two things to tell you. First, this answer is just my personal opinion, and it is up to you to judge whether it is correct or not. Second, if your judgment will hinder my next actions, I will decide whether to use force to resist according to the situation. You have your persistence, and I have mine. I agree with your insistence, but that doesn't mean I'll accept it. ”

"yes, I see. ”

"The problem you're struggling with is really a question of process and outcome. In the process and the result, Featisha and I pay more attention to the result, as long as the result is good, even if the process is flawed, it doesn't matter. For the Holy Grail War, my presence will not only not hinder the progress of the Holy Grail War, but will do my best to ensure that this is a good outcome. As it stands, my presence is better positioned to help you with the biggest distortions. While you don't agree with using a distortion to solve a larger distortion, when two distortions have occurred, it must be a top priority to solve the larger distortions, and then it will be my turn to solve the smaller distortions. Perhaps, my small twist will die directly at the hands of the big twist, and you won't have to worry about it. ”

Shinji laughed at himself and winked at Joan of Arc, but he didn't expect the latter to shake his head very seriously.

"That's not going to work. Maybe it's like you said, I'm more interested in the process. Because I believe that a good process will lead to a good result. And the process of you dying like this is definitely not a good process. Black Assassin, I don't want you to die so unknowingly and irresponsibly!"

"And what do you want me to do?"

"Defeat Amakusa Shiro Shizhen and survive, and after that, I will rule against you, even if we have a conflict over it. ”

"Adjournment of judgment...... Is that your judgment as a ruler?"

"Not just Ruler, but Jeanne Darch. Shinji Makiri, I hope you survive. ”

Shinji was looking at Joan of Arc, and Joan of Arc was looking at him, two pairs of blue eyes staring at each other without blinking.

"Then can you promise me one thing?—— don't use the treasure that was sublimated from the end of your life. ”

"This ...... I'm sorry. ”

Although she didn't know where Shinji knew about her secret second treasure, she really couldn't guarantee that.

"So I can't guarantee it, I can only say that I work hard, and everything we do now is for the best result. ”

"I'll help too. ”

"You know how to draw?"

"I won't, but Leticia will. ”

"Wait, who are you talking about?"

Shinji felt the name a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Leticia, the owner of this body. ”

Joan of Arc pressed her chest and woke up the girl who was hiding deep in her consciousness.
