Chapter 764
"Even if you're going to be reckless, there should be a limit; please don't hide things from me and be reckless in the future, okay?", Fujimaru Ritsuka hugged Jeanne Alter, her face full of heartache.
"... Hmm, I know," Jeanne Alter was blushed by the look, turning her head away, not daring to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka again.
Her heart beat violently, and an indescribable feeling filled Jeanne Alter's chest; what... is this?
But she didn't hate it at all.
The battle ended, the group went home to recuperate, and the next day, Fujimaru Ritsuka got up early.
She looked in the mirror, and this time that "her" did not appear.
Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a sigh of relief, a smile on her face; after eating breakfast, she went to school with Jeanne Alter, and on the way, she met her classmates Osakabehime and Mandricardo again.
The group chatted all the way, from the present to their thoughts after graduation; Osakabehime wanted to be a web blogger, and the inner self of Jeanne Alter's body wanted to learn cooking.
Boudica and Taira no Kagekiyo also joined in and spoke freely; Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at everything before her in a trance.
Her heart was touched; the once peaceful daily life appeared in her life once again; perhaps—
Count Cagliostro, who had restored his identity as the Dean, also appeared in the corridor; he handed Fujimaru Ritsuka a mobile phone, which was the junior's phone; Fujimaru Ritsuka opened it, and what came into view was her figure...
Fujimaru Ritsuka gripped the phone tightly, her expression somewhat lonely; time quickly came to the end of the school day, and Jeanne Alter appeared on campus alone.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the empty space behind her, and she muttered to herself, "I still have to praise you for this courage; I don't hate this point."
"But it's too shallow; I'm also very strong in single combat."
The Count of Monte Cristo, dressed in pitch black, chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?", Jeanne Alter greeted his elders directly.
"No, if you heard the same lines as Taira no Kagekiyo, you would also laugh out loud," the Count of Monte Cristo chuckled.
"... What?", this meaningless sentence made Jeanne Alter freeze, unable to react.
So what the hell is this guy doing?
"I've already met Salieri and Taira no Kagekiyo; you are the last one, Jeanne Alter of Chaldea," the Count of Monte Cristo restrained his smile and said faintly, "I am prepared to convey the truth of everything to you."
The campus was silent, with only the conversation between the two remaining; Jeanne Alter's expression gradually became stunned.
And Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had returned home, received two letters on the desk in her bedroom, a letter written by Salieri and Taira no Kagekiyo together.
Due to special reasons, they had to leave, and they could no longer help Fujimaru Ritsuka with the seventh trial.
"I wish you good luck, and may you play the melody of triumph."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the envelope in her hand and fell into deep thought.

【Deadpool: "Who understands, family members? Servants abandon the Master, and tell the Master to have good luck—preparing to lie down and win, right!"】
【Nami: "No?! You guys just dumped Ritsuka like that?! Is this right?!"】
【Tezcatlipoca: "Trials, of course, cannot rely on too much external force; if you rely on too much external force to pass the trial, the trial itself has no meaning, and the mastermind behind the scenes who gives the trial will also be disgusted by the trial passed in this way."】
【Artoria: "As expected, this trial can only be done by Ritsuka herself in the end."】
【Mine: "Isn't there still Jeanne Alter?"】
【Homura Akemi: "The Saint Graph is already burning; she won't live long."】
【Jeanne Alter: "Although that's the case, saying it like that is too much."】
【Merlin: "But they left, plus what the Count of Monte Cristo said to Jeanne Alter before, it means the truth of their departure is absolutely beneficial to Fujimaru Ritsuka; otherwise, they couldn't possibly leave the Master."】
【Yuji Itadori: "Will she win?"】
【
"Ding-a-ling—"
Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could put down the envelope in her hand, the phone rang, and Jeanne Alter's voice came from the other end; she told Fujimaru Ritsuka to skip school for a day tomorrow and go to Odaiba.
"... You understand, right?", seemingly worried that Fujimaru Ritsuka wouldn't understand her intentions, Jeanne Alter said somewhat urgently, "Understand! Hurry up and understand! Understand for me!"
"Hmm, hmm, I understand," hearing the childish Jeanne Alter on the other side, the gloomy atmosphere was broken; although she didn't understand what she needed to understand, Fujimaru Ritsuka still smiled and agreed.
"Hmph!", a tsundere snort came from the phone, "Be punctual; if you dare to break the appointment, I'll burn you... No, I won't burn you, but I'll be very angry! You must come!"
The next day, Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived at the meeting place early, and she saw the silver-haired girl looking forward to it.
Jeanne Alter also saw Ritsuka, and her face was happy, but she quickly returned to calm because she saw the fatigue on Ritsuka's face.
She took the initiative to tell Fujimaru Ritsuka about Salieri and Taira no Kagekiyo leaving, but did not explain the specific reason; even if Fujimaru Ritsuka took the initiative to ask, Jeanne Alter did not say it.
"Okay, that's enough! You've been asking me; it's my turn to ask you," a blush suddenly appeared on Jeanne Alter's face, and her speech became stuttering.
"It's... that," Jeanne Alter looked left and right, and after a long while, she didn't say what she meant.
Looking around, she didn't look like a Servant, but rather like a thief about to commit a crime.
After a long while, under Fujimaru Ritsuka's confused gaze, Jeanne Alter suddenly said, "That, since it's rare to come to a place like your hometown, isn't it good to have a date with only happiness?"
Having said that, Jeanne Alter lowered her head, not daring to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka at all.
】
【Gilles de Rais: "... Da... Date? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! The Saintess actually took the initiative to ask for a date?! No!!! This is impossible! This is impossible! Then what about me!"】
【Jeanne Alter: "Die far away!"】
【Chika Fujiwara: "Hehe, I smell the scent of love~ So cute, Miss Jeanne Alter is so cute~"】
【Osakabehime: "Wow! You woman, you want to steal the house as soon as you come up! You haven't appeared many times at all!"】
【Artoria Alter: "Unforgivable! Are you ready to bear the wrath of Britain!"】
【Kotori Itsuka: "That's right! That's it, Jeanne Alter! Date her and make her shy! Wait?! Don't self-attack!"】
【Merlin: "Self-attack? It's wrapped."】
【Cagliostro: "It's not that the world is difficult, it's just that there are a few more rivals in love."】
【Mash Kyrielight: "... Ho, how can you do this! Why am I not by Senpai's side!"】
【
Realizing that she was a bit too proactive, Jeanne Alter hurriedly changed her stance; she brushed her temples and stuttered, "Well, as for me personally..."
"Con... considering this child in my body, I really think... maybe it's still not very good? But that, if the Master insists on a date, I'm not unable to accompany you."
"Ho... how about it?", the Dragon Witch's voice became lower and lower; her heart was jumping out, both shy and afraid, fearing she would get a sad answer.
And Fujimaru Ritsuka would naturally not spoil the fun.
She smiled and took the small hand of the Dragon Witch, which was so nervous that it was sweating, "Okay."
From enemies at the beginning to dating partners, they really enjoyed the dating time like lovers.
But good times are always short, and after going around, the two returned to the starting point.
"Ugh... I can't accept it," Jeanne Alter looked at the sunset that was about to end, her mouth puffed up, somewhat unhappy, "That, do you remember that time in Shinjuku?"
"Are you willing to accompany me to dance again?", Jeanne Alter was talking about the dance in Shinjuku.
"Of course, you have to take the initiative," even at this time, Jeanne Alter did not forget to be tsundere.
"Of course," Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out her palm and took the initiative to invite Jeanne Alter into her arms.
The sunset played the movement, and the figures of the two danced in the quiet park.
Being so close, Fujimaru Ritsuka could see that exquisite and beautiful face, could feel Jeanne Alter's breathing, and could hear each other's heartbeats.
Jeanne Alter questioned why Fujimaru Ritsuka was so much more skilled than last time! That's right, the Master absolutely danced with someone other than her!
"Hey, I'm joking, don't show a headache expression~", Jeanne Alter smiled, "I, I'm also familiar with it; even if we are close, I won't be heart-beating anymore."
"Look, the pace is better than last time, right? After all, I've practiced."
"Then you were heart-beating last time," Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled.
"Ugh... No, no, idiot... idiot," Jeanne Alter's expression became increasingly gentle and reluctant.
The story of the Cinderella ball finally comes to an end...
"Sorry, Master, I've reached my limit too; next, I won't be able to help you anymore," Jeanne Alter apologized.
"If I have to say it, it's a Saint Graph problem, right? No, that's not quite right; should I say it's a soul problem?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent for a moment and asked, "Because you are all Avengers?"
"Ehehe, you understand?", Jeanne Alter was cutely stunned.
Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "To be honest, I don't quite understand, but combined with the previous information, I can guess it."
"Hmm, that's how it is, so...", before Jeanne Alter could finish, she was interrupted by Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Aren't you coming with me?", the girl's sad and reluctant eyes stung Jeanne Alter; she was silent, and she really wanted to shout out loud that she was willing!
But no...
Without even a word of farewell, Jeanne Alter disappeared before her eyes just like that.
"——", the harsh trumpet sound resounded through the sky, the darkness dyed vermilion; what is now declaring the end is the final trumpet!
