Dragon of the Root

Chapter 74: Rest

Wu Ming and Jeanne walked side by side on the moonlit ground.

Naturally, the intimate relationship between the two should tell each other.

However, neither of them spoke at this moment, but the two of them walked quietly, enjoying a moment of calm.

"Now~ Soderlake, what is your wish to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

After the silence, Jeanne spoke first.

"Don't you understand me, Jeanne, I have no desire."

Wu Ming turned around and smiled at Jeanne.

"I came to participate in the Holy Grail War only to find you."

"Really..." Jeanne felt helpless at this point.

Even though she was the perfect Saintess in front of others, she would become the country girl from her childhood whenever she was alone with her childhood friend.

Looking at the somewhat confused Jeanne, Wu Ming smiled and touched her face.

"I still remember what you said before we were burned to death."

Jeanne was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, her cheeks that Wu Ming touched turned red.

"ThatthatIno, noI"

Wu Ming looked at Jeanne who had spoken incoherently, smiled and held her hand, and started walking forward.

As he walked, Wu Ming said, "Un, I knew you would dedicate everything to God now."

"Oh! No...that...I didn't mean to break a promise..."

Jeanne made her voice very low, and if Wu Ming didn't listen carefully, Jeanne voice would not be heard.

"So when you complete your promise to me, you give everything you have to God."

"Uhhhh!" Jeanne was confused.

She had promised Wu Ming to marry her before, but now both of them had become Servant, so it was no longer possible to marry, and Wu Ming would only let her go after the promise was fulfilled, meaning....

"Yes, I decided to hold your hand forever and not let go."

Although Wu Ming was a bit of an asshole to say so.

Thinking of Artoria, Gilgamesh, and Enkidu in Wu Ming main body, um, Medb didn't count, he just treated her as a little sister. Yes, that's right little sister.

In fact, come to think of it, Gilgamesh and Enkidu were Woman, and Artoria was the only one that didn't count.

But since Artoria became king, she couldn't be with Wu Ming anymore, so she wasn't actually a ruffian.

Wu Ming who thought like this didn't notice it, but Jeanne eyes changed when she saw it.

"I always felt that you just looked like an asshole."

"Ugh!"

The beautiful saintess even said that he was a bastard, is there a mistake?

"How can you think like that Jeanne, by the way, is there something strange about you being called the Holy Grail this time in Ruler class?" Wu Ming changed the subject.

"Un I originally thought you were an anomaly this time, but after meeting you, I discovered that the anomaly had not been resolved. There is another anomaly in this Holy Grail War." Jeanne answered seriously.

"If something is abnormal, I think the Master of the Red Faction is an anomaly. My master and I had met a priest before. He was the overseer of the Holy Grail War and the Red Master Assassin. However, is it that I, my Master and Mordred, feel that the priest is a little abnormal."

"Really, Soderlake, where is your Master now? I want to ask him directly." Jeanne thought for a moment and asked Wu Ming.

"He is not in Trifas now. He has been assigned by the Mage's Association to deal with the recent serial murders." Wu Ming shook his head.

"Alright, then fine."

"He'll be back in a few days. For now, go on a date with me, Jeanne~"

"Un!"

....

Early the next morning, Wu Ming took Jeanne who had changed into normal clothes and took a walk around the city.

Because Jeanne is attached to a physical body, she cannot transform into a spiritual body, and has normal human functions, such as eating and sleeping.

If she didn't eat or sleep, it would make Jeanne tired, so last night Wu Ming brought Jeanne flushed face and stayed at the hotel all night.

Of course, two rooms were booked.

For money, Wu Ming took out some gold coins and exchanged some money.

Wu Ming and Jeanne were walking on the street, taking a leisurely stroll.

Sensing the bitter look in Jeanne eyes, Wu Ming smiled.

"Really, Soderlake, kidding again."

"Un~ Who told you to think too much."

*looks at*

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you something to eat."

"Un, then you forgive."

"Sure enough, Jeanne hasn't changed at all."

"Hah? Did you say something?"

"Let's go, the taste of this shop is not bad, I have come with my Master before."

"Then, I will try the food you recommend, Soderlake~"

Jeanne smiled sweetly at Wu Ming, then turned around and walked into the shop.

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then regained his senses. With a wry smile, he shook his head.

"Really, I was deceived by you, Jeanne."

Wu Ming and Jeanne enjoyed a very pleasant breakfast. In the process, neither Wu Ming nor Jeanne knew about it.

They seemed to have returned to when they were sixteen years old. Before joining the army, they were immersed in the joy of time.

But now, during the Holy Grail War, Wu Ming received a communication from Sisigou Kairi in no time.

"General, are you in Trifas now."

"Un, what is it, Master."

"A serial killer is apparently a black Assassin. We failed to finish it. It seems that the black Assassin has a certain skill or Noble Phantasm. Saber and I didn't get any information about the Black Assassin. We only know that she is Jack the Ripper."

"I see, the killer in the foggy night, then I can understand why you two can't remember the information."

"Then Saber also faced the black Archer and his Master. Saber and Black Archer, both injured and chose to retreat."

"What about Mordred, she fine." After all, Wu Ming had a relationship with Mordred.

"It does not matter. I have taken care of Saber. Also, Priest Shirou told me to launch an attack on the black faction headquarters tonight. We might be late if possible, help the red faction."

"Sorry, Master, I have found the person I was looking for, and I have decided to remain neutral."

"Oh! Is it so sudden well, I'm not forcing someone to do something against their will, then I'll rush back as soon as possible. Enjoy well the quiet life that is a gift from the world."

"Hahaha Master, you are very gentle, but you can rest assured, I will try not to interfere in the battle between the black and red factions."

"Forget it, do what you want."

Sisigou Kairi stopped communication with Wu Ming.

"Soderlake, are you going to give up on the Holy Grail?" Jeanne asked anxiously.

"My goal has been achieved. Besides, I was summoned in a fraudulent manner. As a Ruler, you must not allow me to participate in the Holy Grail War again."

"This..."

Seeing Jeanne slightly worried expression, Wu Ming took Jeanne hand.

"Don't worry about that. They will fight at night. During the day, you can date me as a country girl."

"wait wait wait..."

With this, Wu Ming and Jeanne had a pleasant date.

...

And the other side...

Sieg sat absentmindedly in the courtyard after dinner.

"Yohoo~ What are you thinking~ Sieg~"

Astolfo jumped out from behind Sieg.

"Hey~ Can I be by your side?" This was asked by Astolfo, who was already seated.

"You have sat down" said Sieg a little confused.

"Hey! Hey~ So, what are you worried about?" Astolfo smiled awkwardly.

"I was thinking, what Soderlake told me" Sieg turned his gaze to look at Astolfo, and continued to be in a daze.

"That sentence "Don't go against your heart, go where your heart points?" Astolfo said, putting his finger to his cheek.

"As expected of becoming a general of French safety~" Then Astolfo smiled sweetly at Sieg.

"Yes, he is a hero."

"So, what do you think, Sieg~"

Hearing this, Sieg looked at Astolfo, then touched his chest, feeling his heartbeat.

"I..."
