"Lancer of Red has been defeated..."

The moment Karna was defeated, someone noticed this matter immediately.

The person who noticed it wasn't Semiramis, the Empress, who had absolute control over this Floating Garden of Babylon.

Seramis's hands were full, dealing with all the things that were happening in the floating garden, and she didn't have time to spare to see the conclusion of the battle between Karna and Raikou.

Therefore, it wasn't Semiramis, but Jeanne, the first one who noticed the defeat of Karna.

Jeanne stopped, holding her battle flag, closed her eyes, and after a while, she confirmed the matter.

As the Ruler of this Holy Grail War, Jeanne had the privilege of knowing the status of every servant clearly. If anyone had lost, she would be the first one who knew about this matter, besides the victor of the duel.

Jeanne could also feel the direction of Karna and Raikou were, because of her privilege.

"Has Miss Raikou defeated Karna?"

Jeanne couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The defeat of Karna was great news for those who were the enemies of the Red Faction.

if someone asked who was the strongest servant on the Red Faction, then apart from Karna, no one could be the one.

Even after relying on Shinobu's body, her status parameter had increased several times, Jeanne didn't have the confidence that she was able to stay alive after being hit by the God Slaying Spear, Vasavi Shakti.

After all, Vasavi Shakti was a Noble Phantasm that was granted by Indra (King of Gods) to Karna himself.

Even Semiramis, who controlled everything in this Floating Garden of Babylon, could only teleport herself to escape from Vasavi Shakti, showing how dangerous this Noble Phantasm was.

Now that the strongest servant on the Red Faction had been eliminated, it was good news for Jeanne.

"It's just that I didn't expect Miss Raikou to defeat Karna.

Jeanne knew about the unavoidable battle between Raikou and Karna, however, it was a pity that Raikou's chance of winning against Karna was very small, especially when Karna owned a God Slaying Spear, Vasavi Shakti.

"Haru should be using the power of Command Spell and by strengthening Miss Raikou's strength, Miss Raikou can defeat that hero."

Jeanne smiled since her decision to transfer two Command Spells to Haru wasn't in vain and it was a great decision.

"So next.."

Jeanne once again cast her gaze into the distance.

Unlike the rest of the servants, Jeanne was summoned by the Holy Grail.

Therefore, Jeanne could clearly feel the existence and the position of the Holy Grail, even if there were twists and turns in the middle, she wouldn't lose her way.

In this Holy Grail War, whoever was most likely to arrive at the Holy Grail first may not be Haru, but Jeanne.

Now, the servants of the Red Faction had been distracted by the servants of the Black Faction, and the owner of this floating garden seemed to be preoccupied with Haru so right now, it was the best time for Jeanne to attack!

"If you miss this chance, then there might not be a chance anymore..."

With this thought on her mind, Jeanne was ready to move again.

However, at that moment, Jeanne suddenly felt a breath of servant approaching.

"This is...?!"

Jeanne stopped abruptly.

*BOOOM!*

Almost at the same time, a wall on the road ahead of Jeanne suddenly exploded, causing rubble and dust to fly everywhere.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

A coughing sound suddenly rang in the dust ahead.

Immediately, a fierce voice with a little anger in complaint followed.

"Can't you just enter a normal way...?!"

Faced with this complaint, a somewhat rude female voice also sounded.

"Isn't that troublesome? This is much simpler!"

With such a voice, the talk between the two sides unfolded like no one else was there beside them.

"It might be simple for you, but for me, I might die, can you not understand that?"

"Huh? Die? Why? I am here! You won't die beside me!"

"....I am a human. I am more fragile than you, so next time, I hope that you will think about me more, alright? I will die if you do this kind of thing again, okay?"

"Since you're afraid of death, then don't come from the beginning! I can do it alone!"

"You're a Saber, not an Archer who has an "Independent Action"."

"It's alright. It's alright. Believe me in!"

"....I am not sure what to say anymore."

With the sound of such conversations, two figures with obvious height differences slowly appeared from the dust.

The one who had been complaining in that conversation was a middle-aged man who had a villain-like appearance and probably in his late 30s or more.

Next to him, there was a knight wearing fully armed armor and holding a sword that exuded an ominous aura.

Looking at the pair, Jeanne's face tightened and her expression became serious.

"Saber of Red and her master...?!"

The Saber of Red was the rebellious knight, Modred, who had killed Vlad III before and the fierce-looking uncle was Mordred's master, Kairi Sisigou.

"Oh?"

The voice of Jeanne made Mordred and Kairi look at Jeanne as if they had only discovered her existence now.

"Isn't this a Ruler?"

Kairi said to Jeanne with a smile that didn't look friendly at all, but his tone seemed like he knew Jeanne as if she was the daughter of his neighbor.

"Unexpectedly, the first servant that I have encountered after climbing this floating garden is you."

The words of Kairi made Jeanne show a serious expression since it was the first time for both of them to meet each other.

However, Kairi was able to accurately recognize Jeanne, indicating that Kairi, who was different from the Red Faction and had been acting independently from the beginning to the end, had a grasp of the intelligence on the battlefield.

Jeanne also learned about Kairi's information from the Yggdmillennia clan beforehand.

From what Jeanne learned, Kairi seemed to be a necromancer and a Magus, who used Magecraft for money. He was being entrusted by the Magic Association to participate in the Holy Grail War, but after that, he didn't join the Red Faction who acted together since Mordred didn't like Semiramis, but even so, presumably, Kairi might have sensed something was wrong, unable to trust Amakusa Shirou Tokisada and Semiramis, and it was the reason why he decided to act independently from the beginning to the end.

However, this master who avoided the Red Faction and the Black Faction finally appeared with his servant.

"Saber of Red's master."

Jeanne looked at Kairi and asked, "Are you going to fight on the side of the Red Faction?"

Regarding this question, the person who answered wasn't Kairi, but Mordred.

"Are you kidding me?!" Mordred expressed disgust and said, "I don't want to act with that poisonous woman!"

Obviously, Mordred showed a rejection from the Assyrian Empress in her response.

"Now, you know it, right? Ruler." Kairi speared his arms and said, "My servant doesn't want to get involved with the Red Faction, so I won't join them."

"Then, please step away." Jeanne didn't relax her vigilance and said, "I have somewhere to go..."

"Wait a moment! Wait a moment! You don't need to be in hurry."

Kairi interrupted Jeanne, his eyes under the sunglasses looked at Jeanne in front of him and said, "Ruler, how about we work together?"

"......."

Jeanne was silent since she was shocked by Kairi's words.
