Chapter 1358: Arrive (1/2)
When Shinobu thought that she would be teleported somewhere, she opened her eyes slowly and could only see a gentle, golden light that formed in front of her.
”This...?”
Even though Shinobu knew about her mission, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
”Please don't be scared, I am the one who has drawn your consciousness here.”
Then Shinobu noticed a young girl with a golden, blonde-haired girl, smiling at her gently.
”You're...?”
”My name is Jeanne,” Jeanne said with a smile. ”I know that you must be flustered or scared, but I don't have a bad intention toward you, and all I want is to ask you for help.”
Shinobu looked at the girl and she had a good feeling about this girl, but she wasn't sure why.
”Help?”
Jeanne nodded and said, ”Do you know about Holy Grail?”
The Holy Grail is the Christian holy relic that received the blood of Christ, considered to be a Noble Phantasm. It was said that the Holy Grail could grant any wishes, so a group of magicians would fight each other to get their hands on the Holy Grail, known as the Holy Grail War.
Jeanne explained about the Holy Grail War which was a war for a magician to fight over the Holy Grail
This war had been held several times, however, the was an anomaly in this Holy Grail War which was caused by either participant doing something that broke the rules or something unexpected happening without someone's knowledge.
In such a condition, the Holy Grail would summon a servant to become a referee in this war.
”So you're that servant?” Shinobu asked and everything had been connected on her mind.
”Yes.”
Jeanne smiled, but then her expression turned into an awkward smile. ”But this time the Holy Grail War is quite weird. Even though I have been summoned, I can't appear in this world normally.”
”You can't appear in the world normally?” Shinobu had a guess and asked, ”So when you appear in front of me, you should have some methods, right?”
”Yes.” Jeanne showed a helpless expression and nodded. ”I can appear in the real world by attaching my consciousness to someone.”
”.....”
Shinobu didn't say anything, only smiled while looking at Jeanne which made Jeanne quite flustered for some reason.
Jeanne coughed several times and said, ”I have found out that your body function and ability has surpassed normal humans by several times, within your body, there is also a mysterious power that is quite different from Magic Power. If I can attach myself inside your body then my Ability Value will also be promoted to a maximum degree, so in this critical moment....” She bowed her head and said, ”I need your help!”
Jeanne then looked up and saw that Shinobu said nothing.
”...”
Jeanne sighed and wondered whether she had been rejected since Shinobu's expression was very hard to guess since Shinobu had always been smiling gently from the beginning to the end.
”So...?”
”Do you want to hear my answer?”
”Yes!”
”Really?”
”Yes!”
”Do you really want it?”
”Yes, please help me!” Jeanne wasn't sure, but then she saw Shinobu chuckled which somehow caused her to be lost.
Shinobu chuckled and said, ”I am sorry, Jeanne-san. You're so cute that I can't help but tease you.”
”This...?”
