“Joan of Arc told me that you are not her.”

After hearing Lin Qi’s words, Black Jeanne’s eyes darkened and her tone became colder.

“Yes, yes, yes, so what? Yes, I am a fabricated idiot who keeps saying that I will never be betrayed again, but I am still betrayed by the person I trust the most.”

“She also told me that although you are not her, you are also a brand new existence, and asked me to take care of you more if I am able.”

“……ha?”

Black Jeanne wondered if she was hallucinating.

“Are you sure this is what the village girl said?”

“Ah.”

Lin Qi still remembered that it was Joan of Arc who said this on the way to see Giorgios without telling her because she was afraid that she would fall asleep.

“……boring.”

After a moment of silence, Black Jeanne turned her head to the other side.

“Avengers… but who has to take revenge since birth?”

Lin Qi didn’t pay attention to Black Jeanne’s actions. He chewed on the three words “Avengers” repeatedly and then spoke.

“You are indeed a fantasy avenger created by others based on their own selfish desires, using Jeanne as a template, but you are not without a self.”

“You can cry, feel lonely, look forward to tomorrow, and…long for the care of others…There is no doubt that you are already a brand new life that has truly appeared in this world.”

“Where is the happiness in revenge alone? Revenge should not be the only thing in your life. At least experience something other than revenge. Then it won’t be too late to consider what kind of person you want to be.”

Lin Qi’s voice did not have too many ups and downs, like the breeze blowing across the plains.

But Joan of Arc, who heard all this, felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes.

The brief memories of the past flashed through my mind one by one.

Everything about her was marked by revenge since she was born. Indeed, Joan of Arc did not feel that there was anything wrong at the beginning, but when the culprits were burned to death one by one by her, Joan of Arc went from being excited at the beginning to feeling empty later.

She asked Jill, “Revenge does feel good, doesn’t it, Jill?”

She felt awkward and did not say what was in her heart, but instead took a detour.

Jill responded affirmatively, and said bluntly, “You were born for revenge!”

Black Jeanne believed in Jill’s judgment and suppressed the strange feeling deep in her heart.

So when she met Joan of Arc and heard her denial of her, her defense broke down.

Why do I have no memory of my life?

Black Jeanne d’Arc asked Jill again in a roundabout way, and as expected, she got a positive answer.

Black Jeanne believed in Jill again.

Gil betrayed her and, while she was staring at the battlefield, took away the very thing that was essential to her existence: the Holy Grail.

He betrayed the real Joan of Arc because of her saintly behavior on the battlefield.

‘What is the meaning of my existence?’

Was it just to let Jill fulfill her sick wish? An existence that could be kicked away at will?

Jeanne d’Arc and Lin Qi, who were her enemies, dramatically affirmed her.

So, I actually have the right to choose a richer life?

But……

“But I am just a fantasy Servant created by the Holy Grail…If it ends here, it will really end…”

Black Jeanne’s tone was tearful and her body was shaking slightly.

That is the fear of disappearing from this world.

“That’s possible. The quantum recorder records everything. Maybe there is a place for you on the Throne of Heroes. Of course, the premise of all this is that humans have not completely disappeared.”

Even the heroic spirits who travel through time exist because of humans. I guess they can’t become rootless water, right?

Lin Qi thought so.

“…But isn’t Renli similar to me now…”

Black Jeanne said silently.

“Maybe I can last longer than you?”

Black Jeanne cried even louder.

“But after all, they are all going to disappear…”

“Then how about you just wish me the ability to turn the tide and save humanity?”

Lin Qi stood up while speaking.

“If I can save humanity, maybe you can continue to exist.”

“……I do not want.”

Black Jeanne was silent for a moment, and suddenly became unhappy.

Lin Qi didn’t have too many expectations for Black Jeanne d’Arc. He just shook his head, took Balmung back into Siegfried’s spiritual base, and then pulled up the flag that was stuck in the ground.

“What are you going to do?”

Seeing that Lin Qi was about to leave, Black Jeanne became anxious again.

“To sum up, the Holy Grail of this singularity has not been recovered yet.”

“Want to come together?”

Lin Qi reached out to Black Jeanne d’Arc.

Black Jeanne d’Arc didn’t say anything, just looked at Lin Qi’s hand, then slowly moved her gaze to the side.

This situation was also within Lin Qi’s expectations, and he was just asking politely.

Without stopping for long, Lin Qi turned his head and was about to put his hand down.

A slightly cold hand suddenly grabbed it.

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that Black Jeanne had already stretched out her hand and turned her head to the side.

A hint of red could be vaguely seen on the pale profile.

“I didn’t say I won’t go with you – it’s just that I can’t hold out for much longer in this state, so you should use my strength to beat up that bastard Jill…”

Black Jeanne spoke in a muffled voice.

“Let me make it clear in advance! Don’t say that I have little power!”

At the end, his voice rose several tones.

Seeing this familiar Black Joan of Arc, Lin Qi couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.

“Of course, I’ve been mad at that guy for a long time.”

“And you don’t have to worry about your entire existence disappearing from this world. I will always remember you until I die.”

“——Now that you know it, it would be fun to have someone disappear with you, right?”

“Um……”

Black Jeanne responded softly, the redness on her face becoming more and more noticeable.

The golden spots of light drifted away with the wind, and Lin Qi only felt his hand lighten, and Black Joan of Arc disappeared without a trace before his sight.

Feeling the extra strength in his body, Lin Qi sighed imperceptibly.

He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his gaze became firm again.

Then he turned to look at Giorgios who had been watching not far away and stretched out his fist to him.

“Teacher Qiao, can you run this last leg with me?”

Hearing Lin Qi’s address, Giorgios seemed thoughtful.

“Mr. Qiao? That’s an interesting title.”

but……

“I can’t ask for it.”

Georgos smiled and also raised his fist like Lin Qi.

The two fists faced each other in the setting sun.

……

Did Lin Qi really hear Black Jeanne’s cry?

It was the connection between hearts that allowed Lin Qi to hear the hidden sadness and loneliness of Black Jeanne, so he walked over and sat next to Black Jeanne.

After all – when you are afraid of being abandoned, you will definitely hope that someone can be with you, right?

–

I read the posts, and many of them said that they were not desperate enough… (covering their faces)

I can only say that my original plan was to upgrade, and after a few more singularities, the protagonist would become very strong, and it would become easier and easier to conquer singularities, and in the later stages, it would become invincible.

I can only say that I will try my best to strengthen the dungeon. I am not good at writing novels, and my writing style cannot handle that kind of thing.

that’s all.

End of Chapter 13

“The Holy Grail is with that guy. In case he summons some more troublesome guys, let’s ride it along.”

Not wanting to continue any longer, Georgos waved his hand and summoned his wind horse Bayard.

As a BMW that can withstand a fatal attack, Bayard’s leg strength is also impressive.

Because he inherited some of Joan of Arc’s power, Lin Qi gained the ability to use revelation for a short period of time.

Guided by the revelation, the two men chased directly in the direction where Jill fled.

“Ahhh, as expected, the real Joan of Arc must have that kind of holiness and steadfastness that no one can compare to! Without these qualities, can Joan of Arc still be called Joan of Arc? I’m really too excited that I don’t even understand such a simple truth – ah, laziness, I’m so lazy!!”

Huddled in a room with only a little light, Gilles de Rais muttered to himself with a crazy look on his face, holding in his hand a holy grail that emitted a little golden light.

After realizing that the Black Joan of Arc he created was not the real Joan of Arc at all, Gilles became ambitious. Then, when Siegfried’s power was completely unlocked, he took the opportunity to take back the Holy Grail from the Black Joan of Arc’s body.

As for other considerations? Jill had none. The thought of how to create a more perfect Joan of Arc had occupied Jill’s confused brain.

“In addition to the important elements of resentment and revenge against the world, there must also be elements of holiness and compassion… Ah, it would be best if you were to feel genuinely sad and painful when destroying other beings, but after praying painfully, you would continue to destroy… And…”

“Oh, and the most important thing is leadership. You have to make the people who are being destroyed feel happy!”

Jill was thinking about it excitedly, and she was even shaking with excitement.

Ok?

With the help of the magic workshop’s security facilities, Jill detected the arrival of Lin Qi and Georgos.

“Why why why why?! Why do you have to disturb me at a time like this? I just want the real Joan of Arc to return to this world. What have I done wrong? God, why do you have to bring suffering to Joan of Arc and me——”

Jill grabbed his head in pain. His face and scalp were scratched unconsciously, leaving traces of blood.

But he didn’t care and just howled madly.

“Evil party! Those two guys must be evil party! All the guys who prevent Jeanne from coming are evil party! Only by eliminating them can I truly create a world where Jeanne can live happily! “

Jill paused, her bulging eyes filled with anger and resentment.

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the holy grail in his hand that was emitting golden light.

An unknown magical power suddenly erupted, and the roof was blown up, shooting straight into the sky like a rocket, drawing an arc in the air before falling heavily.
