Chapter 771

Tricky... too tricky.

Is this girl, who looks as aggrieved as a child, really the Master they know?

What should they do? There is no way; even if they possess the highest martial arts and the greatest amount of magical energy, they cannot unleash them at this moment.

The hearts of all the Heroic Spirits seem to have suffered ten thousand critical hits at this moment!

After holding it in for a long time, everyone could only dryly and incessantly comfort Fujimaru Ritsuka, attempting to coax her into a better mood.

Chapter 425: Farewell! Human Order: Really? I'm fighting an Outer God?! The Count entrusts the orphan, correcting the Human Order!

【Mash: "I have never seen Senpai like this before... It's so sad... But there is also a faint sense of excitement in my heart. Senpai like this..."】

【Fujimaru Ritsuka: "... Huh?! Mash, calm down!"】

【Black Jeanne: "Hey, hey, hey, don't cry... How can you be like this, and even say such mushy things... This is too foul, how is anyone supposed to refuse this!"】

【Esdeath: "To think that child had such a willful side; it's truly interesting~"】

【Mahito: "Right, right, it's really super interesting. But thinking about it, Ritsuka is originally just a high school student. However, to still have such rich human emotions after experiencing so much is truly curious. I really want to pry open her soul~"】

【Kama: "Heh, I've really tolerated you, you pervert, for a long time. Talking about Ritsuka's soul all day long—I think you, this piece of shit, want to die, right!"】

【Lucoa: "Alright, you've strayed from the topic. I'm more curious if Ritsuka like this can keep the Avengers here?"】

【Rocket Raccoon: "It's obviously impossible; that guy, the Human Order, definitely won't allow it."】

【Tiamat: "Ritsuka, don't cry. As long as it is your choice, Mother will stand on your side!"】

【Jeanne d'Arc: "If this is the Master's choice, my banner is willing to pave the way for the Master!"】

【Tezcatlipoca: "Hiss, the Chaldea succubus is terrifying!"】

In the Myriad Worlds

Watching her look so reluctant, and even tearfully saying things like "If we can't go together, what is the meaning of my salvation!"—such mushy words.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, is this also a part of your conquest of the Human Order?!

False Human Order—the total concept of Pan-Human History civilization!

True Human Order—Fujimaru Ritsuka's thousand-layered schemes!

By the way, if there were a parallel world branch point here, would it be time to stage an "if" route where she becomes an Avenger and storms the Human Order and Chaldeas?

【

Facing Fujimaru Ritsuka's willful refusal, everyone was dumbfounded for a moment, and even the Count, who had a poker face just a moment ago, was silenced.

"... Wh-what should we do? Didn't this completely fail to persuade her? What is this about?" Black Jeanne scratched her hair, feeling both heartbroken and helpless.

"... It seems a bit tricky. This is not from my Saint Graph, but the record of my Caster self," Nitocris recalled, feeling conflicted. "Once she enters this state, my contractor is very difficult to deal with."

"If things go wrong, she really... might say she wants to go to Antarctica with us."

Black Jeanne was stunned, then looked left and right, unable to hide the panic in her heart!

She... also really wants to stay by Ritsuka's side forever, but she can't!

The Human Order has clearly stated that it wants to settle accounts with them. If they force their way in, who knows how much trouble it might bring to Ritsuka!

After a long while, the Count spoke again, "There's really no other way... Since it's like this, let's leave our shadows in the Saint Graph Compendium, that is, Saint Graph Shadows."

"Although we won't be able to exert ten-tenths of our combat power, we can at least be of some help to you."

... No, still unacceptable... What Fujimaru Ritsuka wants is to be with them... not some "help."

"Fujimaru, any more than this won't work. You understand, right?" the Count said in a deep voice.

"That... Master dear," seeing the two at a stalemate, Black Jeanne's face was full of worry. She wasn't good at coaxing Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Don't be too... that... too willful, we're going to be put in a difficult position too."

Clearly, she was the one most reluctant to part with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After all, this parting... was a final farewell.

"Me, I'm quite an outlier, right? I have no hometown or family, so it doesn't matter what happens to me. Whether the surface is burned or turned into a blank sheet of paper, it doesn't matter to me."

"But... you're different, right? You have things you want to take back."

"The places you want to return to, the people you want to see—you can't lose any of these existences."

"You are that kind of person. I always thought I knew that clearly."

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Black Jeanne chuckled.

"... But that includes you all too. I don't want to lose you!" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked straight into Black Jeanne's eyes.

In an instant, the heat from her chest made Black Jeanne unable to think. Her face turned burning hot instantly, and she dared not look at Fujimaru Ritsuka again.

】

【Artoria Alter: "Lung-fog Black Jeanne"】

【Black Jeanne: "... Ahhhhh! Who can withstand it when Master dear says that!!! What should I say..! Let's go with Master! That's right! Anyone who dares to block me and Master dear, I'll wipe out the Human Order!"】

【Gilles de Rais: "Woooo! Fujimaru Ritsuka, you devil! To think you've trained my great Saint Jeanne d'Arc into such a state!"】

【Cao Cao: "Fujimaru Ritsuka, you have committed the sin of lust!... Can you teach me!"】

【Slaanesh: "Hehe, the more I look at this child, the more pleasing she becomes~"】

【

Seeing the stalemate in the arena intensify, the Count sighed, "Cross the grudges, cross us, and move forward. Cast aside the anger and sorrow."

"We will take those flames away, and you, you must move toward tomorrow together with hope!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded silently. She knew that continuing to make a scene would be useless. Leaving or not... was not something everyone could choose.

Everyone showed a smile that was both sad and relieved. That's right, Ritsuka.

This is the best choice~

Wait, and hold onto hope.

All the stars in the sky will witness that ahead of your journey, there will be boundless light.

We have both—spent a long journey... accomplice.

Darkness swallowed everything in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka. When Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up again, it was still the familiar Chaldea.

A cup of coffee appeared on the table behind Fujimaru Ritsuka at some point; it was the last cup of coffee the Count had left for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Not just here, in Chaldea, Marie and Amadeus received the gifts left by Salieri.

In the cafeteria, little Anna received the farewell left by Gorgon.

In the glorious temple summoned by the Pharaoh in Chaldea, Ozymandias, who was laughing and talking about head-butting graves with the great hero Arash, was stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"Great, if you had left without a word, I would have been shedding tears," on the deck, Jeanne d'Arc looked at the figure in front of her and smiled.

Black Jeanne sighed, "Well, just saying hello. It seems there's still that much composure. Say a few words to that little one too, and also... also the other one, you go beat her up too."

Jeanne d'Arc nodded. The little one was the Christmas Lily, and the one to be beaten was Marshal Gilles de Rais.

"Alright, nothing left to say. Goodbye."

"Yeah, goodbye... really like a younger sister, another me," Jeanne d'Arc was silent for a long while. She asked hesitantly, "Did you say goodbye to her?"

"Better not, I'm not suited for that," Black Jeanne said softly. Facing the bright sunshine, her figure gradually dissipated. Her eyes were filled with tears, and the half of her face bathed in sunlight was full of reluctance.

"Besides, the time for dreaming is over. Ritsuka must move forward. Staying and looking back—that is a privilege that belongs only to us."

"So, goodbye."

The Dragon Witch's blood of sin was submerged by brilliant light. She smiled gently, "Don't lose, okay?"

Grudges, sorrow, anger, and flames—everything melted away under the sunlight.

And you—go to the end of the journey—

And at this moment, the Human Order Foundation value also changed back to C.

】

【Chopper: "Not even a final farewell... Wooah! So touching, so sad!"】

【Artoria: "After all, if there were another farewell, the Master would really be shaken."】

【Nyarlathotep: "The Human Order Foundation value is only C? That means at least two or more settlements are still needed, right? How cruel, Human Order. How many more times do you have to hurt that child~"】

【The Doctor: "That's right, at least two more changes are needed. That is to say, there are still the Ruler and Foreigner classes."】

【Joker: "Heehahahahaha! Super looking forward to the Ruler class settlement!"】

【

And while all grudges were crossed and anger was cast aside, Ashiya Doman on the other side was like sitting on pins and needles.

The hot-bodied white-haired big sister Kichi Hogen and little Ushiwakamaru were looking at Ashiya Doman in front of them with fake smiles.
