Chapter 131 Axe-wielding Joan of Arc (1! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe automatically!)
129. Is it really okay to abuse divination?
Does the Acalanatha Mantra really have this effect?

To be honest, Shirou himself wasn’t really sure.

This move is essentially a variation of the Heart Sutra of Acalanatha.

Acala – “Acala” refers to the firm, unshakable compassion; “Ming” refers to the light of wisdom; “King” means the one who controls all phenomena.

With a compassionate heart, displaying the wisdom of light and controlling all worldly phenomena, this is the essence of the power of Acalanatha, the first of the Eight Great Vidyarajas in Tantric Buddhism.

Acala is the teaching body of Vairocana Tathagata. Sometimes he is said to be Vairocana Tathagata’s disciple, and some say he is Vairocana Tathagata’s incarnation. It is his ‘angry posture’, a kind of ‘absolutely calm anger’.

No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can break through all obstacles without wavering – with a compassionate heart and thunder-like means, you can subdue demons and eliminate evil spirits.

The reason why Shirou chose this was not because the ‘setting’ of Acala was very similar to Shirou’s own personality.

At that time, Shirou detected that his magic attribute was of the flame type, and during the spread of Acala, the identity of the “God of Light/Guardian of Light” was distorted. Or was it a misunderstanding? Or was it a deviation in the understanding of ancient people?

In short, light is associated with flame, and flame brings light.

The Fire Realm Mantra of Acalanatha became famous because of this.

At first, Shirou was simply targeting the Fire Realm Curse. Shirou has already mastered this move to perfection, and it has become Shirou’s main means of output.

Compared with the Fire Realm Mantra, the Acalanatha Mantra is very strange.

According to its setting, this move should be a kind of mantra, a trick used to defend the spirit and drive out evil thoughts from the heart when the heart is invaded by evil spirits.

But in the process of spreading, it unknowingly developed an effect similar to the fire-avoiding spell, which could negate the damage caused by fire or explosion.

Shirou himself actually rarely uses this move.

Although he himself could not be called an elemental body, fire damage could not erode his body. Because he had awakened the origin of the ‘sword’, high temperatures and forging would only make him stronger.

He used this trick more often, actually to protect the people around him.

This time, Shirou just used it with the idea of “Let’s give it a try, what if it works?”

But the effect was better than anyone expected.

Shirou’s Acalanatha Mantra not only negates the damage caused by fire and explosion, but can also make these events ‘impossible to happen’ conceptually.

Even the omnipotent genius Leonardo da Vinci cannot be an expert in Buddhism. In this regard, perhaps we can only find out the truth when such a servant appears. For example, Ashiya Doman or something like that?
Although it is often forgotten, Shirou can be considered a descendant of Half-Doman-ryu.

Leonardo could only guess based on his knowledge of similar phenomena: “Perhaps this is what Buddhism calls ‘power of vows’?”

“Willpower?” Mashu looked up the information. “It mostly refers to the power of wishing to create karma, and generally refers to the power of will. It sounds like the ‘Holy Grail’, right?”

“In principle, it’s more like the ‘Dragon Phenomenon’, right?” Roman interrupted.

Da Vinci shook his head. “In principle, it’s similar, but if you have to say it, it’s more of a positive dragon phenomenon. This word is stigmatized, so it’s a strange way to describe it.”

Illya also chimed in, “Isn’t the dragon phenomenon a Holy Grail phenomenon? Although the Einzbern family suffered from this thing, it was also with the power of the dragon that they were able to create the Greater Holy Grail system.”

Shirou doesn’t understand magical terms like ‘dragon phenomenon’.

However, words like ‘the power of wishes’ made Shirou think of something that he had been encountering recently.

Beelzebub, the Devil, Prelati Dracula. Oh, and maybe Lucifer.

These evil beings are also brought about by the ‘power of wishes’ of people.

People’s wishes can not only bring good results, but also bring bad disasters.

Just like Miss Evil God.

“People always hope that when they are faced with many unpleasant things, a demon king will appear. Once this demon king is defeated, all the unpleasant things will be perfectly solved. If you try to take shortcuts on the path of cultivation, you will only increase the obstacles. The so-called Holy Grail is something similar to the three great families.”

Mozart shook his head, wondering what he suddenly began to sigh about.

Shirou seemed to be thinking about it.

He thought of one thing: Perhaps, the reason why his Acala Mantra was so powerful was not only because Shirou himself wanted to save these mass-produced androids, but also because Isabella, as Shirou’s master, also had such a wish in her heart, and this wish was extremely strong.

Plus, at this moment, the Demon King’s Holy Grail – a Holy Grail that really possesses some of God’s power – is inside Isabella’s body.

Isabella’s wish, the Holy Grail, the power of vows, and Shirou’s own wish were synchronized in an instant and burst out in one breath, which led to this miracle.

Shirou was still thinking about whether he should take the Holy Grail out of Isabella’s body and let someone else hold it – or bring it directly back to Chaldea and let Da Vinci use it to repair the Chaldea base.

Now think about it
[What should be done with the Holy Grail in Isabella’s body? Shirou thinks.]

[1. She is also dangerous if she carries it with her. It is equivalent to having a taunt when encountering an enemy. It is better to take it out and return it to Chaldea.]

[2. The Holy Grail is a container of wishes. No one present has a stronger wish than Isabella. No one can fully exert the power of the Holy Grail than her. Let her continue to carry it.]

【1D2=2】

Shirou tentatively asked Jeanne’s opinion.

Joan of Arc feels that no matter what choice she makes, there are reasons for it.

The current problems in this singularity are no longer something that can be solved by recovering the Holy Grail. (Note: In fact, most of the problems in the singularities in the original work cannot be solved by recovering the Holy Grail)

If we bring it back to Chaldea, perhaps Da Vinci can use it and bring some help.

If it is kept, it can be used to protect Isabella and also support Shirou as Isabella’s Servant.

The rewards for the former are uncertain – Chaldea is now a complete mess, and even if there is a Holy Grail, Leonardo da Vinci is not sure that he can produce results in a short period of time.

This is not because the Holy Grail is weak or Da Vinci is not good, but mainly because the gold content of the Chaldea base itself is too high and it is not so easy to repair.

In terms of results.

The biggest beneficiary of the exploration of Prelati Magic Workshop is not Isabella.

Although Isabella wanted to save them, this idea was more of a matter of loving the whole family – after all, they all looked like young Joan of Arc.

But Isabella also knew that they were not her daughters.

In other words, the biggest beneficiary is indeed Illya, right?
Illya kissed me.jpg
She also got a body that she could use – although the physical fitness was definitely far inferior to her original body, it allowed her to move.

all in all.

Illya kissed me.jpg
In addition to emptying the Prelati Magic Workshop of materials, the androids of Black Jeanne’s sisters were also transferred back to Chaldea. Da Vinci would input simple instructions for them as a supplement to the manpower that Chaldea most needed.

The job of taking care of them was given to Mashu – as well as Ritsuka’s brother and his girlfriend Orita.

The latter two seem to be ordinary people who have been involved in the incident. Although Da Vinci and Mashu have arranged study courses for them and trained them so that they can help, it is still difficult for them to start working quickly in a short period of time.

In the future, if any of these artificial humans gradually awaken their self-awareness, they will be arranged to study with them.

Chaldea seemed to be a lot more lively because of this.

Even these android girls all have blank expressions on their faces, and their speech patterns are programmed like “Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc understands the command,” which can be quite scary at times.

So little Da Vinci changed them into maid outfits of the same style as his own.

With the help of Black Zhen’s sisters, after clearing out Prelati’s belongings – there were actually still a lot of troublesome things left.

Specifically, it is the remains of various monsters – mainly flying dragons.

After processing, these things can also be stripped out of some usable materials, but the actual operation is very troublesome.

If left alone, according to Leonardo da Vinci, it might form a magical phenomenon such as a ‘magic barrier’, and become a breeding ground for magical beasts.

Although Shirou didn’t understand the principle behind it at all.

“It would be troublesome to take them back to Chaldea, and it would be a waste to burn them all to avoid creating a hotbed of evil, huh?”

Shirou looked at the pile of flying dragon meat——

The first thought that came to his mind was: If this much meat is edible, how long can it last if it is made into food?
Then, when he thought about food, Shirou thought of – Caster!

Because of the severe overdrawn energy from the previous Fuyuki War, Caster fell into a severely weakened state and has not been able to find a way to recover. Now he is still sleeping in Shirou’s inherent barrier – or in a state similar to hibernation.

Shirou had originally considered, if he fed her a Holy Grail, would he be able to feed her back milk?

I just don’t know if one Holy Grail is enough. If it is not enough, and Custer eats it and doesn’t come back, he will be at a great loss without the Holy Grail to enhance his combat power.

But now——

Looking at the ‘meat mountain’ in front of him.

“——Okay! Let’s do this!”

For the first time in a long time, Shirou used the technique taught to him by Ryomen Sukuna, the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, on his righteous path!

“Let’s cook!”

That’s right! This is what Shirou was thinking!
It would be a huge loss if everything was burned in one fire.

Illya reminded Shirou: “Shirou, think about it carefully. A flying dragon is also a dragon. It is common sense that dragons are poisonous. The poison here is no different from a curse.”

Li Xiang looked at the mosaic meat mountain in front of him that was piled up like a mountain and was constantly emitting black gas, and he couldn’t help but shudder: “Is this thing really edible?”

“.If it was Custer, he should be able to digest it along with the curse.”

When Shirou said this, those who knew Caster’s past experiences nodded in agreement after a brief silence.

But Shirou had other ideas:
“It would be a shame if we couldn’t use this much meat as food reserves. How about using the ‘Fire Realm Curse’ and the ‘Mercy Curse’ at the same time, using the Fire Realm Curse to remove the curse toxins and the Mercy Curse to protect the meat?”

“““.”””

Everyone except Ritsuka was silent.

Ritsuka simply admired him: “As expected of Shirou! He can even do something like this!”

Illya couldn’t help but cover her face and sigh: “Does Acala really know that his spell has such an effect? Shirou, has your desire to save the devil finally gone from saving people to saving pieces of meat?”

[What is the strength of Shirou’s wish to “save the ingredients!”?]

[If it exceeds 75, additional correction will be obtained when judging the dragon meat dishes later]

【1D100=88】

“This is the saving ‘ingredient’!”

Shirou suddenly became serious and told Illya:
“Food is the most important thing for people! Without food, people will starve to death! And hungry people’s thinking ability will decline, and they will not be able to develop civilization and technology!”

Illya was stunned by Shirou’s sudden seriousness.

He didn’t look like he was joking.

“I’m not kidding.” Shirou emphasized again seriously, “Food is not something to joke about!”

Illya stared blankly at the ‘mountain of flesh’ not far away that was emitting a cursed black aura.

Food? Ingredients? Are you serious?

Illya’s mouth twitched. “There are legends about gaining power by eating dragons, but they are usually cursed and poisonous. Is there really anyone who considers this thing as ‘food’?”

“How will you know if you don’t try?”

Shirou has already started rolling up his sleeves:
“War is bound to be accompanied by famine. Chaldea is now seriously short of food supplies. If we can deal with the monsters and beasts, then these problems can be easily solved! We can even share the food to save the hungry people!
In the final analysis, the reason why ingredients appear in human recipes is the continuous accumulation of generations of chefs.

in other words!

The reason why monsters and beasts are not on the recipe list is simply because no one has tried it before! It doesn’t mean it’s impossible!
These flying dragons – if they are handled correctly, they might be edible!”

Although, although there is nothing wrong with what Shirou said.
But at this moment, the surviving staff members in Chaldea all couldn’t help but look stiff and embarrassed.

Everyone: No, no, why do you, Shirou, seem to take it for granted that we will have to feed on monsters next?
Can’t we bring back some normal food from every era?!

It seemed that he had noticed everyone’s thoughts.

Shirou began to persuade them: “I know what you are thinking, but in this chaotic singularity, there are too many hungry people. Not only can we not save them, but we also have to take away their food? If there is a way to save everyone – wouldn’t that be better?”

Everyone: “““.””

Shirou: “Whether it’s ‘Why don’t you eat meat’ or ‘Why don’t you eat cake’, it’s all very irresponsible!”

Marie Antoinette herself is recorded in history as saying this: “.”

Although there are also claims that she never said this.

Even a geek like Leonardo da Vinci couldn’t help but look embarrassed!

The only ones who are looking forward to this are the Fujimaru siblings and Orita-san. They have no common sense about mystical things and can only look forward to Shirou’s groundbreaking idea!
Ritsuka: “I’ve always been curious about what dragon meat tastes like when I was playing Monster Hunter!”

Orita-san: “It feels like the development of Labyrinth Rice. I’m really looking forward to it!”

Fujimaru: “Shirou-kun! If this succeeds, could you write a cooking book for me afterwards? I’m looking forward to it!”

let’s start!

In principle, the ‘Fire Realm Curse’ is used to remove the poison curse and to cook!
At the same time, use the ‘Mercy Mantra’ to protect the meat from being damaged by high temperatures!

Theoretically, it is possible! Then it is possible!

Facing the increasingly numb looks of the staff, Shirou threw himself into the cooking in full swing!
[Shirou attempts to use the power of Acala to make edible food from the pile of poisonous and cursed dragon meat! ]

[Difficulty of using it as an edible dish: 75]

[Difficulty of making a super dragon meat dish that can help Custer recover: 125]

[Shirou’s ‘Demon-Subduing Chef (Improvisation)’: 1D100=95]

[Shirou’s characteristic ‘Fire Technique Mastery’ correction: 30]

[Wish (Holy Grail) correction (extra correction, not included in the difficulty): 1D100=11]

[Total: 136]

Is this the legendary soul of a chef?!

Is this the man that even King Gamesh admired and personally bestowed upon him the title of Uruk’s top chef!?
No miracle cheating required!
A simple cook with pure cooking skills – he can even overcome the poison and curse of a flying dragon!

He even defeated the dragon phenomenon with his cooking skills!
The reason why the Holy Grail was not very useful might be because the act itself was too abstract, and Isabella was completely unable to understand it and could not imagine it well?
Or is it because the Holy Grail is the miraculous power of God and is therefore not very compatible with the miraculous power of Buddha?
But no matter what! Success is success!

Even the Chaldean employees who had looked hesitant before couldn’t help drooling when faced with the delicious dragon meat dishes served by Chaldea’s new sister Black Jeanne’s maid group.

There is no trace of the evil thing from before!

The curse that seemed to control the flesh to jump up and hit people disappeared!

There is only light – yes! This is really a glowing dish!

And it’s the Buddha’s light!

Perhaps even the Buddha himself would be amazed.
rounding.

Is this a belated celebration after the victory in the Fuyuki incident?
Shirou: “——I’m sorry for the poor hospitality!”

After enjoying this meal blessed by the power of Buddha, Custer came back from hibernation!
[By the way, let me add a calculation. How much percent of dragon meat did Custer eat by himself? ]

[1D99=93 (fuck)]

Because, because it literally means piled up like a mountain, so even if only 7% is left, it will be enough for a hundred people to eat for several years (dragon meat has an explosive energy content).

But it’s still scary!

Countless wyvern skeletons were swallowed by Custer, bones and skin included!

She almost literally ate a mountain of flying dragons!

It’s completely unclear how her petite body can hold so many things – this guy really is a human-shaped dragon!
Shirou was relieved at Caster’s resurrection.

At the same time, I silently put her on the list of people who “must not enter the kitchen”.

After this battle, Shirou successfully raised the favorability of everyone present to the maximum.

☆

After the joyful transition, it is natural to return to the main topic.

“Although the problem of Martha and Camilla must be solved first, but in order to deal with it smoothly, we still need to increase our combat power, right?”

Temporary military strategist Illya made a very clear analysis:

“Let’s put Camilla aside. Martha’s fighting ability is absolutely extraordinary. If we want to reduce the casualties she may cause, perhaps we should split up our forces. One team will be responsible for holding Martha back. We don’t need to fight head-on. We just need to find a way to lead her to a place where few people go.

The other team is looking for combat power—to be more precise, to find Giorgios.”

Among the saints, who is the strongest?
It was undoubtedly St. George.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one person under God in the Christian system, and the number one pair of red sticks in heaven!

Although Saint Martha—also known as Martha—is already terrifying, Saint George is definitely superior to her!

There is nothing wrong with this idea in itself.

but–

“According to my intelligence, St. George-Jorgeos might have run into some trouble. It might not be easy to reunite with him.”

Shirou expressed his thoughts:

“I think we should defeat Martha first to reduce the casualties she may cause, and then go find Georgos – his fighting power should be used to match Dracula who has obtained the power of the Gluttony Demon King, or the Gluttony Demon King who has obtained the power of Dracula.”

If Georgos is targeting the final BOSS.

Then, as the mid-term BOSS, Martha should be dealt with by Shirou first.

This was Shirou’s idea. The key was that there was a troublesome time difference between the action of finding Georgios and the action of stopping Martha.

And no one can guarantee which of the two is more dangerous, blocking Martha’s battle or searching for Georgios.

Da Vinci shook his head. “Giorgios has encountered troubles that even he finds troubling. In other words, perhaps the danger faced by those who go looking for him is actually greater – that is the danger called ‘the unknown’.”

What Leonardo da Vinci said makes a lot of sense.

As the commander, Roman took the rare opportunity to put forward his own thoughts at this time: “I mean – regarding the matter of Martha, could it be that we already have another powerful reinforcement?

Think about it, what is the characteristic of a Rider Servant? Isn’t it that the Servant itself and the Noble Phantasm as a summoned creature are often considered two independent existences?

This is also the reason why the Cavalry class is often considered to have serious shortcomings. It seems that one person class has the combat power of two, but the magic power consumption is super doubled. Especially for high-level dragon species, maintaining the present world requires a huge amount of magic power.

But we are not fighting the Holy Grail War now!”

Roman said this and Shirou immediately understood what he meant.

“You mean, Martha’s summoned beast, the son of the jealous demon king Leviathan, the evil dragon Tarasco, is actually our companion?”

Roman nodded: “If he can maintain his rationality, he should be our companion. Regardless of whether Tarasco believes in God or converts to heaven, he is at least on Martha’s side.

In other words, Martha fell into madness and did things she would never do otherwise – this is what Tarasco did not want to see, and Tarasco also wanted to stop Martha. “

Illya thought thoughtfully: “Don’t ignore its combat power just because it’s a summoned creature. No matter how well it was tamed by Martha, it was because the Iron Fist Saint was too strong. Its own combat power is also worthy of the name. Maybe it’s close to the level of a ‘demon king’. After all, it’s the son of the demon king.”

“One more thing!” Roman continued, “The huge cross in Martha’s hand was originally used by Jesus to restrain her violence, to calm her down and not resort to violence when she encounters something that makes her impatient. In other words, although that thing itself is a holy object of Jesus, as long as it is used, it can also have the effect of ‘sealing’ Martha herself!”

Let’s not talk about how Roman knows so much about this.

But if you think about it this way, maybe the battlefield on Martha’s side is not as dangerous as expected. Maybe the other side where they are looking for Georgios is the more dangerous side.

The key here is – can Tarasco maintain his rationality and help Ritsuka fight against Martha?
Normally, there is no way to know the answer to this question without taking the risk and seeing it with your own eyes.

But Shirou now has a special method of “obtaining information” that may be limited to this singularity!

That is – divination!
The art of divination is supposed to be used for things like this, right?

Miss Barr, a super ancient person (god), shook her head repeatedly: “Although this trick is easy to use, the more you use it, the more likely it will backfire. Please treat it with caution.”

Illya didn’t care at this time: “It’s only a 20% chance anyway, so it’s normal to fail. Although it seems to have succeeded twice in a row before, it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s worth a try, right?”

The truth is this.

Then come and give it a try!
[Can Tarasco still maintain his rationality and help fight against the crazy Martha? ]

[Isabella tries to obtain this information through ‘divination’. 2% chance, success is 6 or ]

[Isabella’s ‘divination of unknown origin’: 1D10=6 (this matter is ordinary.jpg)]

Illya: “Well, although it is a low probability event to succeed three times in a row, it is not impossible to understand.”

Barr shrugged.

Shirou didn’t care about the details, he just wanted to know the information: “Can Tarasco serve as a friendly force?”

[Can Tarasco remain rational and serve as an ally? ]

[1. Yes]

[2. No]

【1D2=1】

Isabella raised her head, looked at Shirou, and nodded slightly.

very good!

In this case, the plan of dividing the troops into two groups becomes feasible.

But if you have the choice.
Shirou looked at Ritsuka, “Ritsuka, what do you think? Should we split up our forces?”

Since we have to split up our forces, both teams should naturally have a master.

Mary and Mozart will both act with Ritsuka. If they sign a temporary master-servant contract with Ritsuka, they will also be able to obtain magic power from Chaldea. With sufficient magic power, even if they are not good at frontal combat, they will be able to fully exert their strength, right?
The most important thing is to let Ritsuka sign a temporary contract with Tarasco.

“If you are in danger, Da Vinci can inform me immediately through Illya, and I will go to support you as soon as possible – so, Ritsuka, what do you think?”

[Should we split our forces? There is a reason for doing so]

[Because if we split up the troops, the most dangerous side will definitely be responsible for holding back Martha Ritsuka.]

[But Shirou may encounter unknown dangers on his way to find Georgos]

[Either choice has its own reasons, so Shirou decided to give her the right to choose.]

【Lixiang’s choice is.】

[1. Split-up action]

[2. Act together and try to defeat Martha together first]

[3. Act together and hurry up to find Giorgios]

【1D3=1】

Ritsuka’s choice is to divide his forces.

The reason is not because after analysis, everyone believes that it may not be that difficult to delay Martha instead of destroying her.

But because——this is the choice that can save more people.

Ritsuka thought: “If it were Shirou, he would definitely choose this. So leave it to me! I will do my best!”

Shirou patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t be stubborn. If you think you can’t handle it, tell me immediately and I’ll rush over.”

Shirou did not say anything to dissuade him.

After all, the think tank has completed the analysis, and no matter what choice is made, each has its own rationality.

No one knows when the real big devil will come, and no one knows how long Vlad can hold back Dracula and François (Beelzebub).

If they cannot quickly deal with Martha even with the combined strength of the current forces, it is possible that everyone on Shirou’s side will be held back by Martha.

If we can’t find Georgios in time and solve his problems, the battle with Dracula and Beelzebub will only be more difficult.

On the other hand, if we can find Georgos and his fighting ability is at full strength, maybe we can solve all the problems at once!

“Rather, maybe he can defeat the Demon King alone—I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens,” Roman said with emotion.

Shirou is not someone who would simply put all his hopes on one person.

But no matter what, the idea of increasing combat effectiveness is definitely correct.

Shirou, Caster, Illya, Isabella, and Baal are a team.

Mary, Mozart, and Ritsuka are in the same team.

It seems like the distribution is seriously unbalanced. But the only one who can be considered as combat power on Shirou’s side is actually Shirou himself, and Caster is counted in the “weapon” column.

Illya’s existence is mainly to make up for Shirou’s shortcomings in his knowledge of mysticism.

Ritsuka has two servants, Mary and Mozart. Although they are not good at frontal combat, they can go to Tarasco to sign a contract next.

Each has its own reasons, and there is no time to waste. Now that you have decided, let’s take action!

She had been hiding from the crowd because she had to protect Chaldea and guard against possible enemy attacks in Chaldea. The unknown Akagi Hinako seemed to have disappeared for a long time. While eating Shirou’s dragon meat dish, she sighed helplessly: “It would be great if I could go to the front line.”

Mashu could only comfort her: “There is nothing we can do about it. We have too few soldiers to guard Chaldea. When we summon more servants, it will be your turn to show your abilities!”

Akagi Hinako was noncommittal: “I don’t really care about these things.”

☆

Before taking action.
Of course, we need to obtain information about Georgos first.

How to get it?

It’s too slow to find someone slowly! And time is limited! So just cheat!

“Take it! You can take it all!” Miss Barr waved her hand!
Shirou suddenly remembered something and looked at her: “Come to think of it, can you tell fortunes?”

Illya also thought of this. “For people of your time, this technique should be very common, right? In other words, most divination techniques, besides praying to the stars, involve borrowing the power of gods or demons. You should be able to do this since you are both a god and a demon king, right?”

Since the success rate is very low, then I will try to make up for it with my proficiency! ——That’s what Illya thought.

Bal was helpless: “Although it should be used when necessary, it is not good to abuse it too much. Don’t forget that I am a time bomb. I don’t even know when I will explode. As for divination.”

[Can Baal tell fortunes? ]

[1. Of course (after all, they are God and the Demon King)]

[2. You don’t know!?]

【1D2=1】

“——Are you looking down on me? Of course I am! Although my specific memories are very vague, my origin is that of an ancient god, even a very high-ranking one among the ancient gods! Many places believe that I am the King of Gods!”

Bal proudly puffed out his now bare chest:

“Listen carefully! My divination success rate is——”

[Probability 1D10=2 (%)]

“——A full 20%!”

Illya: “.Did you learn this probability from the same school!?”

“In fact, having a probability that is too high is not a good thing,” Bal tried to explain. “The higher the success rate, the easier it is to interfere with or manipulate the flow of fate, and the more likely it is to be backfired. Simply put, the higher the success rate, the easier it is to get a bad result! Conversely, the lower the success rate of a divination, the easier it is to get a good result if it succeeds!”

Shirou thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement.

After all, in various legends, characters who are good at divination are basically equivalent to disaster alarms. Especially in Greek mythology, it often happens that the bad results predicted by divination come true because of the “divination (prophecy)” itself.

Illya thought it was right: “It doesn’t cost money anyway, so let’s give it a try.”

[The goal is to find the location of Giorgios! ]

[Success is 2 or 6]

[Isabella’s ‘Unknown Origin Divination’: 1D10=10]

[Baal’s ‘Ancient God Sacrifice Divination’: 1D10=1]

Bar, who was just about to show off his skills to Illya and Shirou, suddenly had a bitter look on his face.

Isabella’s face was full of embarrassment.

Illya waved her hand, indicating that she didn’t need to worry about it. “It’s okay. The probability is only 20%. It’s normal to fail, right? It’s better to say that the previous consecutive successes are low-probability events.”

Are you really okay?

If there is no way to find out where Giorgios is through divination, then the only option is to look for him among the vast crowd of people?

That’s too crowded.

“We can go ask if anyone has seen the guy in strange clothes.” As a person with rich travel experience, after returning from a full meal, Custer immediately put forward his own suggestion: “Although it may not be Georgos, it is always right to increase the combat power, right? Maybe in addition to Georgos, there are other powerful wild servants in this singularity?”

indeed.

There was nothing wrong with what Custer said.

But if you have a clear goal, it’s better than wandering around, right?
Shirou was thinking silently and accidentally glanced at Isabella.

Shirou discovered that Isabella seemed to be distracted, her eyes drifting from time to time towards the empty Prelati’s magic workshop.

Shirou immediately recalled.

The rhythm was disrupted by the appearance of Kuronezan’s sisters, causing Shirou and the others to almost forget about it.

In the deepest part of the Dragon Witch Manufacturing Workshop in Prelati, there seemed to be something there, but now it is gone.

Since we need to find a target, then——

“Let’s aim to find the missing thing,” Shirou suggested. “Isabella, Ms. Bar, try divination to see if you can get any clues about the current location of ‘Jeanne of Almoses’. If you can, then we can target her. If she really has the same fighting power as Jeanne, then finding her will be considered as achieving our goal.”

‘Joan of Almoses’

Is it the real fake Joan of Arc, or is it the real Joan of Arc who was really resurrected by the Demon King in this era?

Illya suggested: “Let Miss Isabella come first – by the way, we can also test it first to see whether this ‘Joan of Arc of Almoses’ is the real Joan of Arc resurrected, or the ‘real fake Joan of Arc’.”

Isabella hurriedly nodded to Illya, who looked exactly like her daughter when she was a child, and gave her a sincere look of gratitude.

Shirou realized somewhat slowly: Isabella didn’t seem to regard ‘divination’ as her own power, but as a miraculous gift.

The soul of Jeanne in Shirou remained silent. It was obvious that this question was troubling to her. In many ways.

[Is ‘Joan of Almoses’ a fake Joan of Arc, or is the real Joan of Arc resurrected? ]

[Joan of Arc’s mother, Isabella, tried to confirm this through divination——]

[2% success probability, 6 or is success]

【1D10=2】

It worked!
Isabella looked delighted!

[Is she the real Joan of Arc resurrected? ]

[1. Yes]

[2. No]

【1D2=2】

Before she could be happy for long, Isabella became depressed and even looked dazed.

Illya, who was about to say “It’s just as I reasoned,” quickly covered her mouth.

Shirou didn’t know how to comfort Isabella now.

At this moment, a new judgment appeared in front of Shirou.

[In this world line, is ‘Jeanne of Almoses’ the Black Jeanne? ]

[1. It is Hei Zhen]

[2. It’s not Black Jeanne, but really the legendary Vatican female guard disguised as Jeanne d’Arc?]

[3. It’s not Black Jeanne, but another ‘Witch Jeanne d’Arc’ created by the Demon King – Axe Jeanne d’Arc (Additional determination of the righteousness value of ‘Axe Jeanne d’Arc’ in this world line, the setting of the previous book will not be directly used, everything in this book is subject to this book)]

【1D3=3】

Joan of Arc with an axe?

Shirou remembered this saying. Leonardo da Vinci had mentioned it to Illya before. This name should be a slander made by the British against Joan of Arc. It was invented by Shakespeare. It was about a witch who looked exactly like Joan of Arc, but wielded a huge axe as a weapon and could control demons.

I thought it was a fictional character that didn’t exist.

I didn’t expect that there really was such a person in the history of this world line?
Oh, no, it should be said that it is a witch weapon made by the Demon King, right?

[What is the ‘righteousness value’ of ‘Axe-wielding Jeanne d’Arc’ in this world line? ]

[If it is less than 50, she will not resist the orders given to her by the Demon King. She is truly an evil witch who manipulates demons.]

【1D100=100（???）】

Shirou: “.?”

Shirou tilted his head.

Although, although I don’t quite understand, but if you say it like this—

“.Okay, let’s go find her. Even though she’s a fake, at least we can be sure that she will be our reinforcement! – And, since she’s the Demon King’s creation, she might have some clues on how to defeat the Demon King!”

Anyway!
At least there is a clear goal!

But at this moment, a new judgment appeared before Shirou’s eyes.

[Additional judgment: Where is the ‘Black Jeanne’ in this world line? ]

[1. Because it came too early, the Dragon Witch – Black Jeanne has not been produced yet]

[2. In this world line, the whereabouts of Black Jeanne is currently unknown (is there someone else?)]

【1D2=2】

“.?”

Shirou tilted his head the other way.

What does that mean? Does this mean that there is a missing dragon witch named Black Jeanne in the wild?
Then-

“.Isabella, please help me confirm one more thing.”

Is it really okay to abuse divination like this?
