This is... Awful, isn't it?
It's a complete ruin on the inside... The outer wall is more or less intact, but you can't call this a fort.
Because it's wartime?
...No, that would still be impossible.
Nothing but wounded soldiers here.
That's right. Even though they're not in an active war
？！
In 1431, Charles VII of France entered a peace treaty with Philip III, an ally of England.
Of course, I'm sure there were some skirmishes
Argh! Here they come again!
Bonjour. We are travelers.
We are not here to harm you. Please put down your weapons, monsieur.
You're not...the enemy?
Hm, that was rather easy. Perhaps they're rational now. Or
They have no more fight left in them?
Why didn't Charles VII sign the peace treaty?
King Charles? So you don't know?
The king is dead. He was burned by a witch's flames.
...Dead? By witch's flames?
It's "Jeanne d'Arc." She has risen again as the "Dragon Witch."
England retreated quite a while ago. But, where have we to run to?
This is our home, but there's nothing we can do.
Jeanne d'Arc is a witch?
Who is Jeanne d'Arc?
Saint Jeanne d'Arc, the savior. She is a world-renowned hero.
A woman who stood up to save France from being conquered in the late stages of Hundred Years' War.
She saved France at age 17, and managed to reclaim Orleans in just one year...
But she was caught by the English army, and after an inquisition, burned at the stake.
They say that from the time of her imprisonment till her burning, she endured gruesome torture and humiliation daily.
England wanted to prove that she was not a saint, but a heretic.
So they tried to torture her into saying "I did not hear the Lord's voice."
However, her heart remained true. Even while burning, she held onto her prayers.
Later, her honor was recognized, and after 400 years she was officially made a saint.
A powerless girl's wishes changed the world In that regard, Jeanne d'Arc is definitely a top-rank Heroic Spirit.
...
？！
Here! They are here!
Magical energy signals are heading here!
Familiars created using human bodies... skeleton soldiers.
This time it's different. Both of you can be as wild as you want!
Yes. Orders, Master! Let's pulverize them!
2. Before the battle
28 lines...Phew. Good work.
You guys, I can't believe you took them on.
...We're used to it. Anyway I'm sorry, but could you please explain this from the start?
Is it true that Jeanne d'Arc has been resurrected?
Yes. I took part in the siege of Orleans and the ceremony, so I remember it well.
Her hair and skin color are different, but there's no question that she's the saint from the past.
Hearing that she'd been captured by the English and burned at the stake, we trembled in fury.
Butshe was resurrected. And through a pact with the devil, no less!
What do you mean the devil? Like the skeleton soldiers earlier?
Not those. At least those we can handle ourselves.
!!!
Dammit, just as I thought! Here they come, engage!
Come on, stand up! Dragons are here! If you don't resist, they'll eat you!
Large creatures are shown to be near you! They're moving in fast!
Visual confirmed! But that... It can't be
Dragons!?
Wyverns!?
？！
Yes. That is a subspecies of dragons called wyverns.
That is definitely a creature that should not be in 15th Century France!
It's coming!
Master, respond with full force! This is different from those old bones from earlier!
Soldiers, douse yourself with water! You can momentarily defend against their flames!
Eh?
You there! Please pick up a weapon and fight!
Together with me! Follow me!
This is...
Oh, she's a Servant! But her energy is weak, what is she...
3. After the battle
30 lines...I believe that was the last.
All right, fine job everyone! I was watching with sweaty palms and sweets in my hand!
Doctor. Those were the sweets that I got, right?
Huh? What? Is that right? I found them in the Command Room next to the tea, so I thought...
...I got them as a token of gratitude, for when we return from this Order.
Needless to say, they weren't for you, but for Senpai, who no doubt fought bravely on the frontlines.
Mash... you've become such a thoughtful person... (gobble, gobble)
I must say, these are some really tasty sweets. I'm sure Fujimaru will be thrilled, too!
...Master. When we return to Chaldea, please reserve enough combat resources for one attack.
I've registered one more enemy that I'd like to hit with the "back of my blade."
Impossible, you'reNo, no way! Run! The witch is here!
Eh, a witch?
...
Um. Thank you very much.
No, that was nothing. Before that, your name
"Ruler." My Servant class is Ruler.
My True Name is Jeanne d'Arc.
Jeanne... d'Arc?
The one that became a witch...
I thought she was dead.
？！
We'll talk about that later. It is nothing we should speak of in front them.
Come over here. Please.
...We've been invited. What should we do, Senpai?
Let's follow her.
It's a clue.
？！
Kyu kyu kyuu!
I agree as well. She looks weakened, but she's a Servant, too.
I'm sure she's aware of the situation in this era. Let's ask her for details.
