The operation of the world seems to have become uneven once again.
The Dragon Witch, who should have destroyed the nation, was now speaking words of salvation.
And the angels she spoke of had taken the form of judges.
This was already completely different from the original world!
No wonder no one believed what Jeanne [Alter] said—
Even he himself couldn't imagine such a thing.
"How is this possible?"
"Are you... joking?"
"Why is it this reaction again!" Jeanne [Alter] stomped her feet anxiously. "I am serious! I can feel that judgment approaching!"
"If we don't do something..."
"Everything will be done for!"
"So—"
"You want to summon a Servant, right?" Ian understood.
"That's right!"
"If it's the legendary Siegfried, he can definitely grant my wish!"
Saying this, Jeanne [Alter] looked at Ian with some dissatisfaction.
"But why is it you?"
"Wake up, I am not your Servant—the one who responds to the Grail is the Servant you want."
"'Grail'?"
Jeanne [Alter] touched her head.
"What is that? Isn't it just that if I make a wish sincerely, a powerful enough Servant will come to help me?"
"I am... the Dragon Witch!"
"Saving the world or whatever should be reason enough for them to respond to me!"
Looking at Jeanne [Alter]'s earnest, delusional manner, Ian knew she wasn't pretending.
That look of genuinely feeling she could achieve it from the bottom of her heart... no matter how you thought about it, it was displayed because of absolute belief.
But if that's the case—
The situation seemed a bit bad.
Jeanne [Alter], who should have been an enemy, had now become a witch who wanted to maintain world stability but was powerless.
And the Saint who should have prayed for the future seemed to be standing upon judgment.
Beep—
A light flashed on Ian's wristband.
That was the sign of contact from Chaldea.
Ian opened it directly, and a blue screen appeared in front of him and Jeanne [Alter] with a whoosh.
"Looks amazing—"
The Dragon Witch looked surprised.
But seeing Olga Marie inside the screen, Ian read a trace of bad news.
Sure enough.
As soon as Olga Marie spoke, it was a suffocating report.
"Ian, the Singularity of the Hundred Years' War has experienced some kind of severe interference. The current you might be in an extremely chaotic spacetime."
"I know this."
The man glanced at Jeanne [Alter] beside him, who was like a curious baby, and sighed somewhat helplessly.
"So where is Ritsuka?"
"We haven't restored contact with her yet."
Located in the Central Control Room of Chaldea, Olga Marie looked at the various numbers on the instruments beside her that had seriously violated the standard values for Spiritron Transfer, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead.
"The interference on her side seems even more severe than yours—"
"I..."
"Director, no need to blame yourself." Ian's voice was incomparably gentle. "This isn't something we could have predicted."
"As long as we do our best and have a clear conscience, that's enough."
"Mn..."
Olga Marie took a deep breath.
"I understand."
"Don't worry! I will continue to contact Ritsuka! You... must also pay attention to safety!"
"Don't worry."
The man revealed a wicked smile.
"I've already thought about what wish to make to the Director."
Hearing this, Olga Marie's face instantly turned red.
"Talk about it when you get back!"
Communication ended.
"Who was that?!" Jeanne [Alter] looked confused. "A girlfriend who isn't by your side?"
This time it was Ian's turn to be puzzled.
"Why do you think that?"
"Because she didn't notice me at all!" Jeanne [Alter] looked a bit angry. "She was looking only at you the whole time!"
"If she didn't care about you, how could she be like that?"
"..."
Although it felt unreliable, Ian had to admit that Jeanne [Alter] still had some judgment in these matters.
But—
Now was not the time to dwell on the Dragon Witch's maiden heart.
Olga Marie's words could basically further confirm his previous thoughts.
This was indeed still the time of the Hundred Years' War.
But because of Olga Marie's survival and the premature killing of Lev, it had shifted towards an unprecedented spacetime at an unknown moment.
Could it be that the great hand of the Counter Force had indeed noticed something?
"Roar—!!!"
A dragon's roar vibrated in the sky.
The man's expression became even more serious than before.
"Follow me."
"Eh, okay... wait, why are you ordering me!"
Jeanne [Alter], realizing what happened, became anxious.
"I am the Master!"
"I have a way to help you. If you don't want to miss it, listen to me obediently—"
"..."
Jeanne [Alter] suddenly became much more docile.
She could feel that the man was emitting an unspeakable aura.
Her legs moved because of this.
"That's right."
A faint red light glowed eerily in Ian's eyes.
"Follow me, and there will absolutely be no mistake."
Outdoors—
Massive wyverns flapped their wings recklessly, whipping up bursts of violent gales in the sky.
Every screech was so nerve-wracking, as if tearing the listener's eardrums invisibly.
"How did you provoke so many dragons to come here?"
Looking at the dense mass of dragons that seemed to weave a curtain in the firmament, Ian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Isn't the more the better?! I know them very well!"
Jeanne [Alter], having her sore spot poked, retorted at the man with a flushed face.
"Who knew they wouldn't listen at all!"
"So, that's why you hope the legendary dragon-slaying hero Siegfried comes to help tame them, right?"
"Otherwise..."
Jeanne [Alter] looked at Ian, her tone more or less showing some unhappiness.
"You haven't tried it, have you?"
"Slaying dragons or whatever, it is indeed something I haven't understood."
Ian looked up at the sky.
"These are creatures of fantasy. If not for you—I probably wouldn't see them in reality."
"But..."
"Not having slain a dragon doesn't mean I don't have the qualification to tame dragons."
Black light flashed in the man's hand, converging into a wicked black blade.
"Tell me—"
"Which dragon in here is the most powerful."
"As long as I defeat it, everything will be fine."
