Chapter 175: The Crimson Holy Maiden
Jeanne's mind started accelerating.
She already knew that Eikou's Disaster With Women suddenly erupted, and at an extremely severe level.
"In other words..."
Jeanne widened her beautiful eyes and instantly realized the blind spot.
If she stayed beside an Eikou whose Disaster With Women was currently flaring up, wouldn't accidents be inevitable?
It would be very easy to cross that line that shouldn't be crossed, right?
In other words, not only must she not erase the Disaster With Women on Eikou...
But on the contrary, she must specially protect this body carrying Disaster With Women.
"Hehe~..."
Jeanne revealed a sweet smile on that pure, saintly face… but somehow it looked very "yandere".
Even though Eikou's confession had been stolen by her little sister, his body could still belong to this big sister!
The confession goes to the little sister.
The body belongs to the big sister.
Only then would it be fair.
[Jeanne instantly comprehended the truth, and decided not to erase your Disaster With Women anymore.]
[She's not doing it!]
[But right after that, she realized another problem — you're stuck inside an armor with extremely high defense. The tasty meat in front of her, and she couldn't eat it even if she wanted to...]
[She must think of a way to pull you out...!]
[Pull you out, then "cleanly eat up" this body carrying Disaster With Women.]
"...Little brother, your main goal is to get out of the armor, right?"
With the Noble Phantasm half released, Jeanne asked.
"More or less."
"I see," Jeanne nodded seriously, "If it's just helping you get out of this armor, actually your big sister has a much more effective method."
"W…what method?"
Eikou immediately had a very bad feeling.
In those short few seconds, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned silent.
The summer outfit she was wearing instantly vanished, replaced by the strongest Third Ascension—also the Holy Maiden state prepared for battle.
The surge of magical wind she had stirred up gradually calmed, and the people present only looked at Jeanne with puzzled expressions, not understanding why she suddenly stopped releasing her Noble Phantasm.
Jeanne slowly placed the flag in her hand down, then quickly twisted her wrist, and in an instant condensed a sword with magical power.
It was her second Noble Phantasm — La Pucelle!
Unlike "Luminosité Eternelle", this was an offensive Noble Phantasm capable of burning away all evil!
"?"
Eikou froze on the spot.
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind in sympathy with some English writer: "I told you, this village girl is absolutely insane!"
"Don't be afraid, big sister brought La Pucelle to save you! As long as I blow up this mech, you'll be able to regain your freedom, right?!"
Jeanne switched her grip on her Holy Sword, the bright crimson flames of extreme heat beginning to gather on the hilt.
"Save me my ass, you're clearly here to send me to Jesus?!"
Eikou shouted in terror.
The cockpit of the mecha was already so hot that he could barely breathe, yet now just standing near Jeanne, Eikou could feel a suffocating blast of scorching wind hitting him straight in the face.
If he took a direct hit from that Noble Phantasm, even if the armor wasn't pierced, he'd still be roasted alive!
Was it because he teased her little sister, so now she wanted to kill him?
"Britomart, let's run…"
Realizing the situation was bad, Eikou hurriedly patted the fairy girl's shoulder, signaling her to quickly pilot the mech and escape.
"No, I think right now we should fight her! Even though I don't understand much, if she uses a Noble Phantasm then I'll use a Noble Phantasm!"
Britomart's cute face scrunched up, then opened slightly as she exhaled hot air — this stubborn eagerness to charge straight ahead was exactly like some wild boar princess who once wanted to ram Morgan to death.
[Jeanne turned her magical energy into roaring flames, condensing them onto the sword's hilt.]
[And Britomart also wanted to unleash her magical energy, green wind gathering behind the mecha forming fairy wings, she too wanted to release her Noble Phantasm to compete in firepower.]
[But the fierce momentum that rivaled the wild boar princess suddenly fizzled out.]
"...Eikou-sama, I suddenly realized a problem."
The mecha abruptly shut down, Britomart tightened her beautiful face and said.
"What problem?"
"I have to remove the mecha to use my Noble Phantasm. Only when I'm in fairy form can I display the true power of my Noble Phantasm…"
Britomart, stuck inside the mech, couldn't release her Noble Phantasm.
What the hell, does that mean they really have to take Jeanne's Noble Phantasm head-on?
After hearing that explanation, Eikou's heart, which had been hanging by a thread, finally died completely.
Where is Baobhan Sith, come save a life!
He frantically turned toward Baobhan Sith beside him, only to discover that at some point she had already grabbed a bucket of popcorn, found the best viewing spot, and was happily watching the show.
"Hurry, hurry, fight fight~?"
This brat — as expected, she was maintaining her usual punchable attitude!
So now what, run?
Run, would running still be in time?
Countless countermeasures flashed through Eikou's mind, but in the end he still calmly faced the crisis.
Fine then. Being stuck in a mecha, plus another great success of Disaster With Women — this date was already nearly ruined anyway.
Since it's already like this… how about using Disaster With Women one more time, to confuse Jeanne a little?
This time it really didn't matter; he already had one great success on him, adding another wouldn't change anything.
Besides, this magic armor had extremely high defense — even if something unexpected happened, it could protect him!
[You activate "A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands EX"]
[You temporarily seize control of the mech, then without hesitation charge straight toward Jeanne, who is preparing to release her Noble Phantasm.]
[Hoho, you and Britomart want to approach without a Noble Phantasm? Approaching Jeanne — who's about to fire La Pucelle? Then come a little closer!]
Through rising waves of heat, the black armor took firm steps forward toward Jeanne.
A red light glimmered from the gaps of the armor, as if resonating with Eikou's will.
Right in the moment before Jeanne erupted with magical energy, he extended the mech's strong metal arm and grabbed Jeanne's shoulder.
"!"
The Holy Maiden of Orleans widened her eyes.
[In that instant, you activated your signature move — Disaster With Women EX!]
[Jeanne was refined by you in a single moment!]
[An unbelievable event occurred — you forcibly interrupted the Noble Phantasm La Pucelle using the power of Disaster With Women!]
[As the magical energy of the Noble Phantasm dispersed, you discovered Jeanne had vanished…]
[You searched the surroundings through the armor's perspective, but still couldn't see where Jeanne had gone.]
"Little brother~"
Until suddenly, behind Eikou came two unusually soft sensations, as if a voluptuous big sister was gently hugging him from behind.
Only then did Eikou snap back to reality.
"Why did you get pulled into the cockpit too?!"
"Of course it's because of our deep sisterly bond~!"
