"Huh!? Really? These steamed buns and tea were placed together in the control room. I thought..."
"This is what I prepared as a reward for returning home after this mission is completed. Of course, it's not for you, Doctor, but for Old Man and Senior."
"Really? Mashu has grown into a sensible child. *smack smack* Mmm~ Delicious!"
Mash said to Gudako with a gloomy expression, "Senpai, please reserve some mana for one battle when you go back to Chaldea, because I just logged into an enemy who wanted to use his shield back to beat up."
Ma En smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need for that trouble."
He said to Roman on the other end of the communication line, "Roman, you won't be getting any strawberry cake from me for the next two months."

"How can this be! I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
Roman's expression immediately changed, and he quickly began to plead.
Marne ignored him.
Hmph! You stole the treats my daughter prepared for me, and now you want my special cake? You're dreaming!
Upon seeing this, Mashu immediately felt relieved and stopped paying attention to Roman.
"How could you do this! You're ignoring me! I really know I was wrong!"
"You deserve it," Elgamari said disdainfully, then stopped paying attention and silently took a bite of the sesame bun that was about the same size as her body.
I must say, these sesame buns are really delicious. I wonder if they were made by Marx and Engels.
……
Ignoring Chaldea, Marne and the others looked at Joan of Arc, who had suddenly appeared.
Of course, only Marne recognizes her as Joan of Arc right now; Mashu, Gudako, and the others don't know it.
At this moment, the soldier captain who had run back earlier came out of the fortress again.
Just as he was about to thank Marx and the others, he suddenly saw Joan of Arc's appearance and his expression changed instantly.
"You...no! It's that witch! Run!"
Then he and his two companions made their escape.
"A witch?" Hinako was slightly taken aback, then looked at Joan of Arc.
Marne nodded: "That's right, she is Joan of Arc."
"Isn't it said that Joan of Arc has become a witch?"
Gudako stared blankly at Joan of Arc, completely bewildered once again.
Joan of Arc glanced at Marne and said, "I will explain this to you all later. This is not a convenient place to talk. Please come with me, thank you."
"Odosan?" Xiu asked Ma En again, as did the others.
"Yes, let's go. She knows more."
Seeing that Marx and Engels had agreed, the others said nothing more and followed Joan of Arc into a grove of trees.
They encountered some wandering skeleton minions, which were easily eliminated by the group.
Once settled, Joan of Arc was just about to say something.
Marne, however, spoke first: "I roughly understand."
"Understood? What did you understand?" De asked, looking completely bewildered.
I haven't said anything yet, how did you understand?
"In this singularity, there should be two Joan of Arcs. The one you are now is normal, while the other one, like Alter, is Joan of Arc Alter who has been reversed by the Holy Grail."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the black hairless creature who had just received another snack and was quietly eating it on the side.
Beep~ Beep!
"Indeed, this is the only explanation. If it's a reversal, then the other Zhen... her actions would all be reasonable and make sense."
Olga Marie agreed in the communication, then looked puzzled.
"However, is it possible for the same character to manifest in the world as two different Servants?"
"Of course you can, I'll prove it to you if you don't believe me."
As Ma En said this, he closed his eyes, and soon opened them again. At the same time, a figure appeared beside him.
"What is this!?" XN
Everyone was shocked, and even the usually silent Black Hair widened his eyes instantly.
This is a tall, mature woman with blonde hair and blue eyes—the Lion King!
Ma En laughed and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Lia, another Artoria Pendragon, whose class is Lancer."
"Ah this..."
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly back and forth between the Lion King and Black Hair, somewhat unable to believe that these two were actually the same person!
The difference is just too big!
"So, what exactly did you call me out for?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Lion King frowned slightly and asked Marne.
"Huh?" She was suddenly taken aback, sensing a hostile force.
Turning her head, she saw that Hei Wumao was frowning and staring intently at her.
"You are... I see, the other me."
The Lion King instantly recognized Black Hair's identity; it was none other than herself.
He was speechless for a moment, then glanced at Marx and Engels with a wistful look.
He said it was just a joke, but now he's actually found someone else.
Are you really planning to bring another 'father' back to Mo Zai?
Ma En scratched his nose somewhat awkwardly, pretending not to see the Lion King's gaze.
At this moment, Black Hair suddenly walked up and came to the Lion King.
She looked up at the Lion King, and the Lion King looked down at her.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat oppressive, and everyone felt a sense of impending storm.
Then, Black Hair raised his hand...
He gestured to show the difference in their heights, then clicked his tongue and walked away with a sour expression.
The Lion King: "..."
Everyone: "???"
no! ?
You've been glaring at someone for so long, just to compare heights?!
They thought a fight was about to break out, causing them unnecessary worry.
The black-haired man approached Ma En and said expressionlessly, "Master, I'm a little hungry."
Initially a little nervous about what the other person was going to say, Ma En quickly realized what was going on and replied, "Oh, what do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, but the quantity must be large."
Seeing this, Ma En prepared some of the large, high-calorie fast food that Hei Wumao liked the most and handed it to her.
Black Hair took the food and started eating immediately, as if he was turning his grief and anger into appetite. He ate heartily and ignored everyone else and what was going on.
'Is she angry?'
When Ma En saw her like this, he roughly guessed that she was a little angry because of the appearance of the Lion King.
He just didn't quite understand what the other person was angry about, and with so many people around, he couldn't very well go over and comfort them, since there were some things he couldn't say in front of others.
So, we had no choice but to leave it for now.
Instead of sending the Lion King back to his personal space, he turned to look at Joan of Arc.
"Tell us about your situation. We need to understand what happened here."
"Ah."
Joan of Arc nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter of the two King Arthurs, and began to talk about her own situation.
She was given a general explanation: she was a weakened Ruler who had only been there for a few hours and had learned some things from the locals.
For example, there might be another version of her who killed King Charles VII, occupied Orleans, and released wyverns and the like.
After speaking, she looked around at Mar and the others and asked, "And who are you all?"
"We come from Chaldea, the organization that ensures the survival of humanity, and are..."
Seeing this, Mashu introduced Jeanne to the existence of Chaldea and the burning of human order.
Joan of Arc nodded: "I see, I understand now. I never imagined that the whole world would be burned down..."
As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Chapter 253 Overnight Stay, Another Clash with Two Kings Arthur, The Lion King: Old Time?
Joan of Arc blushed slightly, "Compared to you, my troubles seem so insignificant..."
"Fuwu?"
Fufu called out, looking at her with a puzzled expression, as did everyone else, who all cast questioning glances at her.
Jeanne said helplessly, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm not 'perfect' as a Servant right now, and sometimes I can't even trust myself..."
"As the Ruler, I am now unable to use most of my abilities..."
"Whether it's that other version of myself or those dragons, I have no confidence in dealing with them..."
“That’s a wyvern. Those soldiers call it another Jeanne d’Arc, well, let’s just call her Black Jeanne for now. They call Black Jeanne the Dragon Witch, which means that this is what she should have summoned.”
