Book 2: Chapter 28: You Guessed Wrong, Right? It’s a Red-and-White Ball

“I say, Doctor, you are bad at reading the atmosphere!” Jeanne d’Arc, who the Holy Grail couldn’t revive, stood at the side, while there was the Jeanne d’Arc Alter created by a Holy Grail. To think Doctor Roman used this as an example. No wonder Fujimaru Ritsuka protested.

“Oh! Sorry! Sorry!” Doctor Roman only just realized the impropriety of this example.

“It’s fine. It is a fact.” Jeanne d’Arc had a good temper. Few things could make her angry, corruption being one of them.

When Jeanne d’Arc Alter fully recovered, she stood up, getting out of Chen Heng’s embrace. She had lain in his arms all the while. She was only a few days old, so she had never experienced something so stimulating and intimate before.

“Here, take this. I have no use for this thing.” Jeanne d’Arc Alter took the Holy Grail out of her body after her injuries healed, and tossed it to Chen Heng.

Chen Heng scrutinized this legendary Holy Grail for a while before tossing it to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“I don’t need this thing, either. It should go to Chaldea. Take it as Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s proof of sincerity. Master, remember to take good care of this Holy Grail.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the Holy Grail in her hand before handing it to Mash.

“Mash, store this in your shield. I recall your shield has a dedicated space for storing Holy Grails, right?”

“That’s right, Senpai!” Mash received the proffered Holy Grail and stored it in her shield.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter found the sight of the group passing the Holy Grail around strange. Seeing people handing off a Holy Grail like this was truly rare. After all, it should be something everyone wanted.

“Proof of sincerity? Who said I’m going to Chaldea?” Jeanne d’Arc Alter whipped her head aside, showing disdain.

“Hey, hey, hey! He Who Knows Fate, this is the legendary tsundere, right?” Fujimaru Ritsuka whispered into Chen Heng’s ear after walking over to his side.

“That, eh…Master, I’ll inform you of something now. Never underestimate a Servant’s hearing.” Chen Heng showed a helpless expression. How am I to follow up on this?

“Ah?” Fujimaru Ritsuka stiffly turned her head to look at Jeanne d’Arc Alter and saw Jeanne d’Arc Alter looking at her.

“Tsundere? What does that mean?” Although Jeanne d’Arc Alter heard Fujimaru Ritsuka’s words, she did not understand them.

“He Who Knows Fate, quickly tell Jeanne d’Arc Alter what tsundere means!” Fujimaru Ritsuka nudged Chen Heng, tossing the problem to him.

“Me?” Chen Heng paused for a while before he came up with an acceptable explanation for the situation. “Ah! Tsundere means aloof and beautiful. Yes, that’s what it means!”

“I sense you are trying to mislead me. However, it does not matter.” Jeanne d’Arc Alter felt something was off but couldn’t place her finger on it.

Chen Heng glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka and noticed she had no intention of saying anything, so he could only take personal action. “Jeanne d’Arc Alter, please join our Chaldea Security Organization. Chaldea needs a strong tsundere Servant like you.” Furthermore, you are especially easy to deal with.

“Right, right, right! We really hope you will join Chaldea.” Fujimaru Ritsuka finally reacted. However, she couldn’t think of anything to say and just echoed Chen Heng’s words.

“Since you all put it this way, I shall reluctantly agree. Simultaneously, it shall serve as payment for my sins. After all, I caused tremendous damage to this world.”

Tsk… Chen Heng was not good with tsunderes.

“Repentance is the greatest virtue. That’s how the adage goes, right? Work hard in the future Singularities and make up for your mistake by saving humanity. This is great, Younger Sister!” Jeanne d’Arc looked happy, feeling like she had gained a younger sister. Furthermore, it was a younger sister who could admit to her mistakes and repent.

“Hey, who are you calling your younger sister?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“You—”

“Alright, alright. Since you have already agreed, let’s start.” Chen Heng interrupted Jeanne d’Arc Alter.

“Sign a Servant contract?”

“No, no, no. We need to use a special trick if you want to join Chaldea without being summoned. It’s this thing in my hand.” Chen Heng took out a red-and-white ball from his spatial storage. That was right; it was the most ordinary altered Poké Ball, 300 points each.

Chen Heng did not intend to bring Jeanne d’Arc Alter back, so why give her lavish treatment? Useable would suffice.

A 300-point red-and-white Poké Ball could achieve the same effect as the Heavy Ball, so why buy the more expensive one?

Why did Chen Heng buy the Heavy Ball for Fafnir? It was purely because of Fafnir’s colossal size. An ordinary Poké Ball could not contain the dragon.

“What is…this thing?” Jeanne d’Arc Alter looked at the small, exquisite, red-and-white ball in Chen Heng’s hand.

“This is a special Magecraft tool, a Poké Ball. This ball is the most common type of Poké Ball, the red-and-white ball.” Also the cheapest. “I will toss this ball at you later. As long as you are willing to enter it, you can. Don’t look down on it for appearing small. This ball has a magnificent residence within it, with electricity, Internet access, and many snacks.” It is just of a lower standard than the Heavy Ball used to capture Fafnir. After all, it is cheaper.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter is of a lower class than Fafnir. A beauty cannot compare to a beast.

If Jeanne d’Arc Alter knew, she would think: I—Jeanne d’Arc Alter—have never been weaker than others in my entire life, but I actually get treated worse than Fafnir?

“Let’s do this, then!” Jeanne d’Arc Alter crossed her arms, waiting for Chen Heng to toss the ball.

After hearing Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s agreement, he tossed the red-and-white ball at her, and it immediately pulled her in. After it shook a few times and flashed red a few times, golden sparks flew out. Capture successful!

The capture went much more smoothly than Fafnir’s capture. Chen Heng had failed three times with the dragon.

After that, Chen Heng carefully handed the red-and-white ball to Fujimaru Ritsuka and told her to send her mana in. That would complete the trade.

“Master, this red-and-white ball can quantify Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s attitude toward you. If you treat her well and teach her properly, her loyalty will increase, and the chances of her betraying you will be lower. Remember, you have to be patient and coax her. She is still a child. Try to lead her to a path of righteousness, make her a person useful to society.”
