"…"
In the hall that had become a ruin, Rozen, Matthew, and Jeanne Alter all remained silent and watched Jeanne Alter leave.
Jeanne Alter seemed to be praying, keeping her posture, offering her prayers to the Lord she believed in.
Rozen and Matthew stood side by side and looked at each other.
"Senpai …" Matthew asked involuntarily, "Miss Jeanne Alter, she …"
Matthew didn't finish her words.
However, Rozen knew what Matthew wanted to say.
"… She won't appear again."
Rozen said in a low voice.
"This time, she will probably disappear completely, right?"
Matthew was silent again, and a little sad emotion finally appeared in her eyes.
Compared with the rest of the servants, Jeanne Alter had a decisive difference.
The rest of the servants were just clones of the main body in the Throne of Heroes. Even if they died, they just returned to the throne outside the world, and they did not die in the real sense.
But Jeanne Alter was different.
That witch was just a replica of Jeanne Alter, a fictional spirit created by the Holy Grail.
In other words, Jeanne Alter's existence was not recorded in the Throne of Heroes, and there was no such thing as a real body at all. Just like human beings, she only had one life.
Now, Jeanne Alter had disappeared and returned to the fantasy.
Of course, that witch would not appear again.
However …
"This is only in theory."
Rozen suddenly added such a sentence.
"Only in theory?"
Matthew was slightly startled.
In this regard, Rozen nodded.
"Although it is estimated that this Dragon Witch will not appear again, in this world, there are many situations that cannot be explained by theory."
That sentence was undoubtedly the most convincing when it came to Rozen.
After all …
"Although this world lacks redemption, there is no lack of miracles."
Rozen seemed to be able to see the mocking expression on the witch's face again as he spoke resolutely and decisively.
"If it's her, she must still be hiding in a corner, waiting for a chance to appear again."
At least, that was what Rozen chose to believe.
Even if the other party had once been his enemy.
Even if he was one of the culprits behind the appearance of the seven singularities.
Furthermore, she was a witch who had done many evil deeds and killed many innocent people of France.
But just because of the contract they had formed at the last moment, Rozen was willing to let go of his grudges.
"You think so too, right? Matthew? "
Rozen asked the servant beside him.
"Yes, Senior."
Matthew's expression finally cleared up and became bright again.
It was only at this moment that the third person present interjected.
"Please don't forget how you feel right now."
The gentle words came from the Saintess who had just finished her prayers.
Jeanne stood up from the ground, looked at the boy and the girl standing side by side in front of her, and smiled.
"As long as you don't forget how you feel right now, then I believe that in the end, you will be able to break through the obstacles ahead, repair all the singularities, and lay the foundation for humanity again."
The Saintess offered her blessing to the two.
"Go and retrieve the Holy Grail."
Jeanne smiled at Rozen and Matthew.
Rozen and Matthew nodded heavily.
Immediately afterward, Rozen turned around and looked ahead.
"Clang …"
The Golden Cup was still suspended in the air, blooming with light.
Rozen glanced at Matthew, and in return, Matthew nodded.
So, Rozen stepped forward, came to the Holy Grail, and reached out his hand to take it.
The source of the singularity was successfully retrieved and laid quietly in Rozen's hand.
At this moment …
"Hum!"
As if the whole world was trembling, a buzzing sound came from the sky.
That surprised Rozen and the others.
"What … what's wrong …!?"
Matthew was slightly panicked.
"This is …!"
Jeanne's expression was tense again.
"Is it … the same as in Fuyuki City …!?"
Rozen's face also changed.
He still remembered that in the singularity in Fuyuki City, as soon as the Holy Grail that caused the chaos was taken away by Lev, the entire singularity directly collapsed.
This time, it won't be the same as last time, right?
While Rozen was thinking so, a communication came from Chaldea.
"Don't … don't worry! This is not a sign that the singularity is about to collapse! It's just that the era has begun to repair itself! "
Roman appeared on the projection screen and said in a hurry.
"However, as soon as the singularity is repaired, you will be rejected as you do not belong to this era. In order to avoid accidents, we have begun to prepare for the Soul Transfer. Get ready to return!"
After saying that, the projection screen disappeared.
It seemed that Roman was in a hurry to prepare for the Soul Transfer.
And that also meant …
"Are we going back?"
Jeanne relaxed her expression and asked Rozen and Mashu in a relaxed manner.
"Miss Jeanne …"
Matthew looked at Jeanne.
Of course, the same was true for Rozen.
"… Thank you, Jeanne."
Rozen looked directly at Jeanne, and after a long time, he chose to say such words.
"If it weren't for you, I would …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jeanne.
"Even without us, you will be able to pass this singularity."
Jeanne said with absolute certainty.
Because …
"From you, I see all kinds of possibilities, comparable to the savior, and comparable to all the heroes I have seen."
In front of Rozen, Jeanne looked at him and gave her highest evaluation.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to fight to this point with my weakened ability."
"If it weren't for you, the neutral servants would still be confused and unable to unite in this era."
"If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for us to defeat the Dragon Witch with the Holy Grail."
"If it weren't for you, the self-proclaimed Demon God would not be able to be defeated smoothly, and it would eventually become the cancer of this era."
Jeanne's beautiful eyes bloomed with brilliance, and there was a smile on her face.
"I believe in you, the strongest master in this world."
"If it's you, you will be able to do heroic deeds that will amaze God."
"If one day you need my strength, please don't hesitate to call me."
"When the time comes, I will definitely do everything I can for you just like this time."
Jeanne once again offered her blessing.
"May God bless you, bless you, heroes from the future."
That was the last words the saintess left to the two of them.
"Thank you, Miss Jeanne."
Matthew thanked her sincerely.
Rozen's eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled.
"I will remember."
Just this one sentence was enough for them to bid farewell.
Not long after, a dazzling light surrounded Rozen and Matthew.
The two of them gradually disappeared, as if they had entered the tunnel of light and left completely.
Jeanne watched that scene.
