Although both Emiya Shirou and Matou Sakura understood that Toosaka Rin was saying one thing and thinking another.

If it turns into a black-red war at this stage, it will become a lot more troublesome, but Toosaka Rin will not have to fight against her sister and Emiya Shirou.

In addition, the Ruler of this Black-Red War is their acquaintance Jeanne d’Arc, the referee of this Holy Grail War, so Toosaka Rin has become more cautious.

“Jeanne, you see, the previous incident of the Akasha Serpent was resolved by us, the Black Team. If it weren’t for us, it would be a problem whether the Holy Grail War could be started!”

“Illya consumed two Command Seals, and Shirou Emiya consumed three, and all my wealth was lost in this battle.”

“As a fair and impartial referee, you should give us the black team some compensation no matter what, right?”

Sitting at the table, Toosaka Rin talked to Jeanne d’Arc, trying very hard to gain all favorable conditions for the black side.

“But–“

“There is no but. If such a thing happened at the beginning of the Holy Grail War, as the judge, would you use the Command Spell to let all the Servants and Masters solve the matter?”

“meeting!”

Joan of Arc nodded affirmatively. If a Dead Apostle took the Holy Grail away during the Holy Grail War, she would naturally use her identity as the Judge to force the Servants to take the Holy Grail back.

“So, the ruling you made on this matter is to provide compensation. What’s more, this matter is entirely handled by us, the Black team, and the Red team has not suffered any loss at all. This is unfair to us, the Black team!”

“Joan of Arc, you must uphold the principles of fairness, justice, and openness! Otherwise, we will not accept you as the judge! Why not let Kallen take the position? After all, the Templar Church itself is the judge in the Holy Grail War.”

Toosaka Rin argued with reason, and Jeanne couldn’t find any words to refute for a moment, and then asked tentatively: “Then, a Command Seal?”

“One Command Seal!? What do you think I, Tōsaka, am I? A beggar? That’s all my fortune! How can one Command Seal be enough? I need at least two!”

“But I only have the right to use two Command Seals on each Servant!”

Joan of Arc gave a bitter smile. No matter what she was offered, she could only give two at most. She couldn’t give more than that.

“You can give us the Red Side’s Command Seal.” Toosaka Rin whispered softly into Jeanne’s ear, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.

However, the people present were basically all from the same family, and everyone else could hear what Toosaka said.

“That’s impossible! I will never hand over the Red Side’s Command Seal!”

Jeanne d’Arc rejected Toosaka Rin’s proposal very seriously. Handing over two Command Seals was already her biggest concession.

“Hey! What is your relationship with us? What is your relationship with the people on the Red Side? You haven’t even met the people on the Red Side yet.”

“Besides, do you know what the Reds want to do with the Holy Grail? What if they wish for the destruction of the world? Look at us, we basically have no desire for the Holy Grail. It is obviously a very safe thing for the Blacks to win the Holy Grail War.”

“As a judge, you can’t be too rigid in the rules. You have to be flexible. If we, the black team, win, then this Holy Grail War is almost as good as not happening!?”

Toosaka Rin put her arm around Jeanne’s shoulders, telling her one second to uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness, and the next second she said the rules cannot be too rigid and must be flexible.

Shirou Emiya pushed open the door and saw this scene. He was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he did not stop Toosaka Rin’s behavior. The more beneficial it was to their side, the better. Why should they benefit the red team?

Then, when Jeanne saw Shirou Emiya coming, she quickly shook off Toosaka Rin’s hand and hid behind Shirou Emiya with a look of fear on her face.

“I heard from Elquet that you were angry, weren’t you?”

“Aren’t you angry? She could have persuaded Jeanne to hand over the Red Command Seal to us, but as soon as you showed up, she hid behind you!”

Chapter 1182 Countdown to the end of life

In the end, Jeanne was no match for Toosaka Rin’s eloquent tongue and had to hand over both Command Seals. Toosaka Rin had five Command Seals on her body.

The two Command Seals of Sakura Matou will be given to her after she returns.

As for Illya, her entire body was engraved with Command Seals, so she had nothing missing. However, Jeanne still transferred the rights to two Command Seals to Illya.

As for Shirou Emiya, the Command Spell is like magic. It cannot remain in Shirou Emiya for a long time. Basically, it can only be used as needed, which means it is still in Jeanne’s hands.

In Toosaka’s words, when necessary, Jeanne can use the Command Seals to give orders to Altria on behalf of Shirou Emiya.

I always feel like something is weird.

Isn’t this equivalent to becoming the Master of Altria?

If Shirou Emiya encounters danger when fighting with the Red Team, should she use the Command Seals to summon Altria, or go herself without using the Command Seals?

But no matter which one it is, it seems that I am already bound to the black side.

It’s over. It seems that I really have no way to make a fair and just judgment.

Even if Joan of Arc could really be impartial, given the relationship between her and the Black team, the Red team did not believe that Joan of Arc could make a fair judgment.

The Red Team might appear again and attack her as the arbitrator, and this time their arguments would be well-founded and she would have no way to refute them.

Joan of Arc had to do this even if she didn’t want to. There was no other way, but she was unwilling to go against her own heart.

Lord, what should I do? Why do I have to be the Ruler?

Thus, Jeanne was stuck in a dilemma and could only be pushed away by Toosaka Rin.

But Toosaka’s heart must be with the black team, not the referee.

Jeanne wanted to ask Emiya Shirou for help, but——

“I think what Toosaka said makes sense.”

Sorry, Shirou Emiya is from the black side.

“I just hope the Lord won’t blame me.”

Joan of Arc prayed sadly, but before long, she was captured by the food that floated over.

“Jeanne, you’ve been living in Emiya’s house for so long, eating for so long, but it seems like you haven’t paid the rent yet.”

Toosaka Rin’s devilish whisper continued to ring in Jeanne’s ears, and Toosaka Rin’s heart was black when she was cut open.

Jeanne immediately got goose bumps all over her body and hid behind Emiya Shirou with fear written all over her face.

Originally they were companions, but after becoming Ruler, she seemed to have become Toosaka Rin’s prey.

“Alright! Alright! That’s enough. If you force her like this, it will be hard for Jeanne to do anything.”

Shirou Emiya touched Jeanne’s head and tried to persuade Toosaka Rin kindly. Then he frowned slightly and started the team voice chat.

“Take it one step at a time. Joan of Arc is your own person. Don’t push her so hard.”

Well, Shirou Emiya is actually a tactician. Although his heart is not black, it is dirty.

Although he didn’t want to use the full value of being Ruler Jeanne on their side like Toosaka Rin did, it was definitely good for the black side. Why would he care about the enemy?

“Then I’ll leave Joan of Arc to you to appease. I’ll squeeze every bit of value out of her!”

“Can you please not be so devilish when you talk?”

“I want you to take care of it!”

In that brief moment, when almost no one had time to react, the two people completed the eye contact.

Elquet, who was standing by, was stunned. She had never added anything like voice chat in the team.

Not long after, Fujimura Taiga and Matou Sakura came back with large and small bags of things.

“Are you guys going to scout out the area or go shopping?”

Emiya Shirou couldn’t help but complain out loud.

“I have all of them. I just happened to pass by the newly developed commercial area on the way, and then I bought these things.”

“Is that so? But! Sister Fuji! Stop covering it up! No drinking today!”

Seeing Fujimura Taiga quietly putting the bags of bottles and jars in his hand behind his back, Emiya Shirou could immediately scold him.

Then, under the pleading gaze of Fujimura Taiga, he sorted it out and put it in the refrigerator.

“I told you, Senior won’t let you drink, Fuji-nee.”

Sakura Matou, who was putting the groceries on the kitchen counter, covered her mouth and laughed. She had told Sister Fuji all about it on the way, and it was obvious that she wasn’t listening.

“You can always drink it later! It’s worth buying it!” Fujimura Taiga retorted excitedly, staring at the refrigerator eagerly.

In short, dinner ended in a noisy atmosphere, and everyone went back in a hurry.

In Emiya’s room at Emiya’s house.

Shirou Emiya was sitting on his desk, holding his forehead with a look of distress on his face.

“Isn’t next weekend really the countdown to my life?”

He simply couldn’t imagine what kind of plan could allow him to meet and act with so many people alone, and he had no way of splitting himself.

Emiya Shirou fell into deep thought again.

At this moment, a slight knocking sound came from the door.

“Please come in!”

As Emiya Shirou finished speaking, a soft voice followed.

“Um, Shirou, are you free next weekend?”

These words instantly startled Emiya Shirou, who was in deep thought. He turned around in disbelief and looked towards the door.

At this time, Joan of Arc stood at the door with her hands behind her back, her face slightly flushed, and she lowered her head with an embarrassed look and spoke very shyly.

“What, what’s wrong?”

A bitter smile appeared on Shirou Emiya’s lips again. Is next weekend really the end of him?

“That’s right, Teacher Fujimura gave me two movie tickets—”

Having said this, Joan of Arc slowly took out the two movie tickets from her back, and then explained in a panic: “Actually, I didn’t want to go, but this is a movie about me, and I want to see how future generations view me, but I have never been to a movie theater, so I plan to find someone to accompany me–“

As she spoke, Jeanne’s voice became smaller and smaller. It seemed that after living in Fuyuki City for a while, she knew very well what it meant to invite Shirou Emiya to go to the movies together.

“I went to look for Rin, Sakura, Saber, Kallen and the others, but they all seemed to be busy over the weekend, so I–“

Shirou Emiya’s face darkened. Wasn’t he the reason why they had things to do on the weekend? But why did Saber also have something to do on the weekend?

“I didn’t mean to not find you first, Shirou. Ah! No! That, I did it on purpose. Ah, that’s not right either! That, that, that! How should I put it!!”

Jeanne walked towards Emiya Shirou while constantly explaining to him, but the more she explained, the more flustered she became, and her face looked like a ripe red apple. She stood there holding the movie ticket and waving her hands, visible steam rising from her forehead.

“Stop, I get it!”

Shirou Emiya reached out and placed his hand on Jeanne’s forehead, stopping her from bumping into him.

“If you are free, Shirou, forget it if you are not free—”

“I’m free!”

Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and responded to Jeanne’s request.

Chapter 1183: Eighth Part Emiya Shirou

Jeanne walked out of Shirou Emiya’s room happily holding a movie ticket. Then, as if feeling guilty, she looked around and returned to her room.

“They all hid the fact that they were going out with me.”

Shirou Emiya smiled bitterly. If Sakura and the others had directly told Jeanne that they wanted to go out with them, Jeanne would never have come to them.

In other words, they all lied to Joan of Arc.

Saber probably didn’t have any, he didn’t know why Altria didn’t have free time next weekend.

But he would soon find out.

because—-

“Knock knock knock!!!”

Unlike Jeanne’s steady knock, a crisp and lively knock sounded from Emiya Shirou’s door.

“please–“

Before Emiya Shirou could even say “come in”, the door was opened roughly.

“Shirou! Save me!!”

Fujimura Taiga rushed in with a sad face and stood in front of Emiya Shirou.

“Teng-sister? What’s wrong? What happened?!”

Shirou Emiya seemed very surprised to see Sister Fuji suddenly looking for him.

“Just make it clear that you will save me!”
