"Master, can you go out with me for a while?" When Kurokiri Kanya and the two ceremonies left, Ruler, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, suddenly said this.

Zero Guan was not surprised at all and said, "You want to expel [Jack the Ripper]? ”

Kurokiri also believes that the murderer is a criminal imitating [Jack the Ripper], but in fact the other party is one of the many servants who participated in the Holy Grail War.

"That's right!" Ruler said with a grim face, "Servant battles shouldn't involve innocent people, [Jack the Ripper] violated that principle. As the Ruler who keeps the Holy Grail War on track, it is my responsibility to step in to stop her uncontrolled behavior. ”

Zero Guan said: "That's right, but don't you think it's bad for you to come out like this?" ”

Ruler frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

…… Even if you are a legendary saint, you still don't know much about human nature!

Zero Guan didn't explain, and changed the subject: "Even if you want to deal with her, you have to know where she is first, and it's daytime, are you sure she won't fight back when you find the other party's traces?" The casualties will only be more serious, so how about waiting until the evening to act? ”

“…… I see, I'm too anxious. ”

Ruler's expression loosened a little, and she realized that she had just lost her temper.

"I think you'd better get some sleep. You probably didn't sleep last night, did you? Zero View said.

"Servant is a ...... that doesn't need sleep"

"Don't deliberately emphasize these things that are different from humans." Zero Guan directly interrupted her words, "Since you have appeared in this world, how about simply thinking of yourself as a human being?" ”

“…… Well. ”

Ruler nodded, and didn't return to his room, just leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes.

I'm really unsuspecting!

Is it because you're too young......

Looking at the girl who closed her eyes right next to her. Zero Guan chuckled.

Servants don't need sleep, but in terms of suppressing mana consumption, they don't really need sleep. Especially with Joan of Arc, who has the dual Servant qualifications of Ruler and Saber, the magic power she needs to devour is very amazing. It's just that her master is zero, and she doesn't need to worry about the consumption of magic power.

It seems that Ruler does not need to sleep, but. After all, this is a long-lost opportunity to live in this world, and it would be a waste of opportunity if you can't enjoy life. In that case, sleep like a human must have been a very precious experience for her.

Zero Guan was idly looking at the newspaper in his hand while drinking the black tea he had brewed, and in the process of consuming time in such a leisurely manner, his eyes moved to Ruler. The fact that the sleeping face of the innocent girl with pure knowledge unfolded in front of him made him feel a little gloomy.

Because, he has seen this girl's dreams more than once......

It was Rouen, the square of the old market.

Many of the onlookers on both sides of the crowd hurled foul language and insults at her. He looked at her with hatred and hatred in his eyes like seeing a demon.

And she was being dragged into the square.

In this situation, the girl did not feel the slightest fear or horror. When she was determined to fight, she had put aside her shame and remorse, and even in this moment, she did not feel it.

The only thing she cared about was that the cross that held her pillar of faith was gone.

This made her feel the grief clearly.

Just then, an Englishman rushed up. Ignoring the others' resistance, he reverently handed her a crudely made wooden cross.

"Thank you."

The girl looked down at the man. Seeing him kneeling in front of him, many of the onlookers cried bitterly for her. Her hands were tightly tied, and her back was pressed tightly against the wooden frame. With such bondage, no one would think she would be able to escape. The restraints are so tight that they feel like they are trying to loosen their ties in vain.

And in fact, she really can't run!

Her "crimes" were revealed one by one. When her last indictment was read out during the ceremony, the torch lit the firewood beneath her.

The tongue of fire slowly licked her feet. For those gathered around her, burning a person's body with fire was the most horrific form of execution they could think of. The skin was burned by the flames, the flesh and bones were burned by the fire, and the only way to chant the names of God and Mary over and over again was to chant them over and over again.

At this moment. She still didn't regret it.

After all, when she made such a choice, she had long expected such an ending to come, and no one knew the final ending better than her.

If she hadn't made that choice, maybe she would have lived a happy life as an ordinary woman, maybe she would have married and lived a human life? A happy life for a wife and a mother - such a future is certain.

However, she put this happiness aside and ran to a completely different end. She raised her sword, put on her armor, carried the flag representing the glory of the country, and began her career as a horseman.

A woman is not allowed to wear men's clothes, let alone do things that only men can do, and in this regard, her end has been doomed from the beginning!

“…… More lives can be saved! I chose the right path. ”

She prayed as visions of the past and the future faded away with the harsh reality of the moment, and the flames around her burned her body...... Even if everyone accused her of betraying her, she was sure at the last moment before she died that she had not betrayed herself.

As one theologian put it, "Joan of Arc upheld her faith in her goodness, humility, integrity, and innocence." That's all she has. ”

"Lord, ...... in danger"

In this last prayer, the girl's life ended.

The sleep without dreams is over, and what is left of reality is only in the place where the girl's dream turns into foam, and the legend of Joan of Arc begins to circulate.

"There are no regrets, no hope for the future...... Is this the quiet you end up with? The accident is very cruel! ”

Zeroguan sighed, his eyes full of sadness and sympathy.

Master and Servant's dreams are the same, and Ruler's memories before his death flow into Zero's mind in the dream, and the feeling is as realistic and realistic as playing a virtual online game that he feels first-hand, and he can even feel the pain and burning when he is burned by fire......

"I really don't know how she managed to hold on as a teenage girl?" If I had encountered this kind of thing, I would have abandoned the so-called belief a long time ago. (To be continued.) )
