Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

"You mean, you have a sexually undesired 'relationship' with me? "

Slightly wanted to avoid the topic, but Rope didn't like this set at all.

"what……"

The black-haired young man laughed, and slightly frivolously lifted a strand of Karen's silver hair with his hands.

"Although the enslavement technique is a weakened variant, it doesn't have much effect, but if Carlene speaks out, it will be good for both of us. Saintess of France, Miss Joan of Arc has been here since the Holy Grail War. Well, it’s no wonder that the little Holy Grail was brought to the church. Who is her Master? Kotomine Risei? Or…”

The hand slid down Karen's long silver hair, and the index finger lightly tapped the back of the girl's slender legs.

The white medical bandages, layer upon layer, tightly wrapped the back of Karen's left hand.

"...How about you, Miss Carlene Ordesia?"

In the little Holy Grail here, the embarrassing time of the war, and the defeat of almost all the participating masters, the reason for dressing up like this doesn't even need to be guessed.

The moment Karen appeared, Rope confirmed it.

Ruler, the Master of Joan of Arc is her.

"..."

The girl's eyes turned back from the cross.

She looked at Rope with golden eyes, and there was neither panic nor fear in it.

"Mr. Rope is suspecting that the church has violated its position and privately summoned Heroic Spirits? If you have any opinions, please report it to the church in Europe. I will actively accept the investigation to prove my innocence."

refuse to admit.

Rope is not in a hurry at all, he has already determined that the Holy Grail is here, so it is only a matter of time before he gets it.For this girl who can be said to have changed the trajectory of her life by himself, he does not want to solve the problem in a rude way.

"Can Miss Carlin explain what's going on with the bandage?"

"Scalding," Karen said.

"It must be difficult for Mr. Rope, who lives well, to understand. Even the clergy have to eat. Except for the current special period, only my grandfather and I live in this church. Naturally, I am in charge of the housework, and it is normal to be injured. However."

"Then let me help you."

The smile at the corner of Rope's mouth widened, he grabbed Karen's wrist and said to the girl.

"Whether it's a burn or a broken bone, even if the hands and feet are cut off at the root, and the skin is peeled off, I can help you recover the same as before the injury. It's not good for girls to leave scars?"

"...It doesn't bother you, Mr. Rope."

Karen wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that Rope's five fingers were like iron tongs. Although it didn't cause much pain, she couldn't withdraw with her strength anyway.

"Can I take the words just now and the actions you are doing now that you are threatening me?"

"of course not."

Rope let go.

"I just wanted to see Miss Karen's 'scalding'. "

"... Observing the girl's wound will actually make you happy, I seem to have gotten a pretty bad piece of information."

Karen folded her arms and looked at Rope with disgust.

"If it goes on like this, you who gave me a terrible curse will soon not be satisfied with the original wound, and choose to take the initiative to abuse me? Let me wear a nun's clothes, and then you will beat me with a leather whip. Sore all over?"

"Haha! How could it be, I'm too lazy to seek pleasure from other people's pain. When the person I care about is happy, I will feel my heartfelt joy."

Rope laughed twice, put his palm on the top of Karen's head, and stroked her long smooth hair.

The black-haired youth approached the silver-haired girl's ear.

"I have other things to do tonight, Miss Karen, don't stray away from the conversation."

he said softly.

"As I said, I want to be your friend, don't embarrass me. The encounter between Ruler's Joan of Arc and Carlene was accidental, and there is no need for the young nun to take any responsibility. Give me back the little chalice and I'll deal with it. Nothing will change in your life without Miss Saintess. Okay?"

"..."

The sound in her ear made Karen look away, looking at the tidy floor that had just been cleaned.

Don't know what to do, I'm afraid that's the current situation, right?

She made a special contract with the Holy Maiden, and even though there was a condition to stay out of the matter, Karen had also thought about the situation where she would face other Masters like this.

The only thing fortunate is that the person sitting next to her is an "acquaintance" who has a moderate attitude.

However, only temporarily.

In keeping with the Master's duty, he was tight-lipped, but if he continued to deceive him, he would anger the magician named Rope.Then, with the abnormality revealed by his casual behavior and words, it should be that he doesn't mind killing everyone in this church and then slowly find the little Holy Grail.

Such an outcome would no doubt deviate from her path, sending her to the tragedy of hell.

...Forget it, it's been agreed long ago, there's no need to take her life for the Holy Grail War.

Karen made a wise decision.

She undid the bandage on her left hand, peeling it off layer by layer.The crimson magic crystal with only one stroke left appeared in Rope's line of sight.

The black-haired youth said with relief, applauding softly.
