“…… I see, I didn't expect you to be summoned as a Servant. In this case, I'm not sure if you're Chu Xuan or not, but I think you should be two different people.

But both of you are very good at gathering and analyzing intelligence, and it's almost like you're the same person. You said you were going to the station to 'meet' Letitia, a suspicious French woman, but in fact she was the same Servant who had appeared in the last Holy Grail War and was summoned by the Holy Grail to maintain order. His rank is Ruler, and his real name is Joan of Arc, the most famous saint of the Hundred Years' War between England and France.

Huh...... It doesn't seem like you're surprised, you already know? ”

"Well, I know why I can't say it, but I do know a lot - I'm a Servant, after all."

In the Emiya Mansion, where there was not even a cup of tea, Emiya Kiritsugu and Ji Feng and the others casually found a clean and empty room and sat down, and quickly exchanged the information held by each other, but the secret information that Emiya Kiritsugu knew, as a reincarnation, Ji Feng had already been clear.

Ji Feng could even guess that Chu Xuan must have used some method to fool the Joan of Arc that befell Retitia ten years ago, making her voluntarily give up the rank of Ruler and become Chu Xuan's second sword as an ordinary Servant, and the secret that Emiya Kiritsugu told next also confirmed his guess:

"The reason why I know so much is because Joan of Arc also entrusted her willingness to Chu Xuan, and joined our side to fight to the end......

……

…… These are secret details that even the Einzberen family did not know, but I thought it would be completely indifferent whether I knew it or not, but I did not expect that the Holy Grail War, which would not start again until sixty years later, would be hastily started after only ten years.

Is this a joint decision of the 'Imperial Three Families'? Although the Holy Grail only fulfilled Chu Xuan's wish after fixing the 'hole' and helped him reach the 'root', Saber, who raised the Holy Grail, suddenly disappeared and did not use the remaining magic power to fulfill his wish, but even a little magic power was added to the Holy Grail. Its consumption is also huge for the 'Imperial Three Family', which is not very strong. ”

"It was indeed a joint decision, but the cost of replenishing the mana was borne by the Einzberren family alone, after all, activating the Holy Grail early was only the Einzberen family's request.

Illya, Sakura, and Karen hoped to use the Holy Grail to find their father, but the head of the Einzberen family should have been impatient with the long wait, but he was afraid that Chu Xuan, who should have successfully reached the 'root', would be angry when he and his wife's only daughter was transformed into a little chalice after returning on his own, so he had to endure it for the time being, until Illya herself strongly requested to become a little chalice before agreeing. ”

"That's right...... Well, that's how it should be.

Ten years ago, I had a deal with the head of the family in Einzberen, and it was not like the old man who could do anything to fulfill the wishes of his 'granddaughters'. ”

"Anyway. The wishes of the head of the Einsberger family did not conflict with those of Illya, and the goal of both was to open the 'hole' to the 'root' once more, and my appearance was a complete surprise.

As for my MASTER Rin Tosaka's wishes...... She seems to just want to win, as long as I win with her, even if I ask her to promise to open the 'hole' to the 'root', I don't think she, as a magician, should not mind seeing what kind of 'root' most magicians desperately want to reach.

Except that Berserker wanted a world free of lies, now everyone on our side can have the same desire, so our alliance is unbreakable.

I don't know what kind of wish you and Joan of Arc entrusted to Chu Xuan? If possible, I'd like to fulfill Joan of Arc's wishes. And convince her to fight alongside us again! ”

Knowing that Chu Xuan had really put Zhen on his chariot ten years ago, Ji Feng now of course wanted to copy it according to the gourd painting, after all, his appearance was the most powerful proof of "legally" receiving all of Chu Xuan's "inheritance". And although Ji Feng did not explain the arrangements for Joan of Arc, Emiya Kiritsugu could think of it immediately. After Joan of Arc joins him, he will definitely pretend to be Saber and partner with him, so he naturally approves of Ji Feng trying to contact Joan of Arc:

"I'm sorry, I don't know what Chu Xuan promised Joan of Arc to make her give up her identity as Ruler and join us.

But you should try, whether it's the Ruler who is the guardian of the Holy Grail War itself. Or out of Joan of Arc's own wishes, she will not hurt you casually, and there is zero risk that you will go to solicit you.

As for my wishes......

More than ten years ago, Chu Xuan and I had a competition to become the agent MASTER of the Einzberen family. At that time, I originally wanted to use the Holy Grail to achieve the impossible miracle of 'World Peace', but Chu Xuan told me that this was also impossible, at least the Holy Grail in Dongmu City couldn't do it.

However, I was not persuaded by Chu Xuan to give up my qualification to become the acting MASTER of the Einzberen family, I was defeated by Chu Xuan in a head-on battle.

It's just that Chu Xuan then contacted me privately, hoping to cooperate with me. And the main reward he gave me was the promise that after reaching the 'roots', he would one day come back here and help me make this wish come true.

I still believe in him, but the day of 'one day' never came, until you, who seemed to have a lot to do with Chu Xuan, contacted me again. Maybe Chu Xuan himself will also appear in this Holy Grail War, or maybe he will suddenly appear in front of me one day in the future, but I think it's not bad for you to try to fulfill this promise for Chu Xuan now.

In fact, I've always felt a little regretful. While I believe that he will not make arbitrary promises, let alone just to cooperate with me, I have never been able to think of how he will fulfill his desire for 'world peace.'" Knowing that he would never be gone when he reaches the 'roots', I should have asked him what he wanted to do first, so that I could try to do something while I waited—his methods should have been more effective than mine, otherwise I wouldn't have had to look forward to them. ”

Speaking of his own wishes and Chu Xuan's promise, Emiya Kiritsugu's calm, almost indifferent face had a strange expression, as if he was a little shy. I don't know if he feels embarrassed by his wishes, or if he feels ashamed of blindly believing in Chu Xuan.

As an adult with a normal IQ, he also knew that his wish seemed to be impossible to come true, even if it was Chu Xuan, there was no way, he just knew that it was impossible and tried his best. But...... Maybe it's because of "men's intuition", even if he knew that it was impossible, but since Chu Xuan had taken the initiative to promise him, Wei Gong Kiritsugu believed that Chu Xuan could really do it!
