Ugh... what a week it had been for me -_- So tired...

I know you don't want to know but I will tell you the short version of my hellish week.

Go on a vacation for a week and then fatigue caught up to me and I was sick for 3 days straight -_- After feeling well and good again, i opened my laptop only to discover that it had, somehow, crashed during my trip which result in HDD error :V My Laptop had literally turned into a Potato. Well it doesn't affect my writing so no worries, though, I can't finish Megadimension with all this laggy. Ugh.

*cough* Back to this Fanfiction. Here is your Chapter 4, folk. It's a bit of a late update but hey, I made it longer!

Thank you for your support for this story and this author till this day. I continued to look forward to your support with each words I typed :)


And now! Q&A Time XD

-PocketDuelMonster: I'm sure you have already figured it out. Yes, She is that Saber from Fate/Stay Night and Fate/UBW.

-Mythfan: Yeah, All Servants are strong, extremely strong in fact, but if she ended the fight in 2s, it would be Anti-Climatic. But then again, She DID end that fight with 1 slash, right?

-Grand Order Incarnate: Originally, I planned to have Sakata Kintoki as his buddy but I changed my plan because he isn't suit for the latter part of this fanfic. I do agree with your opinion and suggestion to try SR or R Servant, but I guess I will stick with what I had planned. It's easier to write about what you like and what you want, you know :3

-Boyzilla: Please forgive me, I really DID forget about her when I started planning this fic 0_0

-Kinunatz: Grand Order is a game so they stick with what they are given to, but IF they are to fight real fight, then it would be a different story. Example: Scathach can use Rune Magic for multiple purpose, Cu Chulainn too as show in UBW when he cast a fire spell. The same could be said for this fanfic. In fact, Shuten knows Demonic Magic, Jeanne can attack from afar with her flame, Arturia knows Wind Magic. Issei himself is pretty Versatile too and the reason is pretty much, show in this Chapter.

-EternalKing: You can say that. Nope! Okita Souji isn't going to be removed, about that explaining thing, I will manage somehow... I guess...

-Drow79: Super Agree. Based on that comment, i guessed you have already figured it out xD Nice

-xxOblivionxxx: Thanks. Solomon did appeared in the game, though he was beaten in... hmm... ah, London. I don't know about the story though, but we win the battle.

-Nitramy: It's Minamoto no Yorimitsu or Minamoto no Raikou for short. She would appear in this fic later but not as a Servant xD. I prefer Medb myself because she can act as a brain for Issei little group. Just side information :v Jeanne Alter HAS an Ahoge while Ruler doesn't

-hellfire45: About that... hmm... maybe she won't... maybe i need to think of something to make it... ugh headaches incoming

-AFalseName: Thanks. About the Japanese part, at best, I will put japanese in () and english outside because there are also some who want otherwise.

-warrior of six blades: Thanks for your continuous and details reviews. Really appreciated.

-Inquisitor Czevak: Yeah, he has and so does others in DxD :v I think i should make that.

-BrotherDeath: Yeah, she will regain her full power as the story process, but she stay in her second form just because I don't like her Third Form that much :v

Disclaimer: I own nothing in this Fanfic.


The bond forged between a Master and his Servant, a Heroic Spirit is nothing but special andprecious. It transcends human's knowledge and even the Spirits doesn't know the full extent of its power. Increasing one's power to an almost unimaginable height, closing a long distance in a single second with a single command, bending reality to allow the [Inexistences] to exist, etc…

This is a story about a man who once forged bonds tougher than the strongest metal in the world and his story after his… reincarnation?


Reincarnated Master - Hyoudou Issei

Arc 1 – Memories of Grand Order

Chapter 4 – The Heroic Spirit of Vengeance.


It had been one week ever since the enrollment of two certain Heroic Spirits of Hyoudou Issei and it could only be described with one word. Hell. Due to some unique circumstances, he had become the 'Jerk' of Kuoh Academy while his Servants had become its two new celebrities.

'Ice Princess' Arturia Saber was the title she had been given during her first day at school. Strict, lawful, beautiful and intelligence, Arturia had quickly become one of Kuoh's celebrities within her first few days. Then everything only got worse when the girl become the new Third Seat of Kuoh, standing only behind Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory in study.

With her reputation skyrocketed, Arturia became the center of every fanboy in Kuoh Academy. Of course she refused them all which later earned her the title "Ice Princess". And, apparently, she also said that she was Issei's Servant which resulted in the poor guy being called 'Jerk'.

Joining Kuoh Academy the same day as Arturia was another beautiful blond girl with French origin named Joan Alter, The Empress. While being friend with the so called 'Ice Princess', Joan was exactly the opposite of Arturia. Bad scores, bad attitude and also bad language, overall, a punk.

But even so, she was still famous for her unreal beauty and fearless attitude. How fearless? Let's just… read…

On her first day, Joan refused and insulted 198 boys who were trying to appeal to her.

On the same day, Joan was called into the Minister Office for sleeping in class, insulting teacher and fellow student.

On her second day, Joan sent 255 boys to the hospital who tried to use violence to force her into a relationship with them. Thankfully, the camera recorded her situation and she had luckily escaped from being thrown out of school.

On her third day, Joan injured a PE Teacher who tried to teach her how to speak to her seniors.

On the same day, Joan sent 328 delinquents into the hospital who was hired to capture her along with 77 others who picked a fight with her.

On her fourth day, Joan broke into Issei's and Arturia's classroom and demanded the boy in question to give her the necessary money to buy Ice Cream.

On the same day, Joan announced that Issei was her Master. This was later written into a notebook of Student A as the most shocking announcement in Kuoh's history.

…Literally speaking, Joan had quite a record and that record was what earned her the title The Empress. When being called as such, the girl had quite a satisfied expression on her face.


-Kuoh Academy – Issei's Classroom

Hyoudou Issei was currently sitting in his class, looking at a small paper on his table. He was examining the flyer he had received from some strange cosplayer the day he was first attacked by The Fallen Angel.

At first glance, it was just a small paper with a wield symbol on it printed in crimson red and normally, people would just throw it away. But, for an Expert in using Portable Magic aka Craft Essence like him, Issei had seen something strange in this paper and kept it for experiment sake.

His effort was paid off after he successfully decrypted the Magical Seal and found out that it was a FUCKING TELEPORT MAGIC! In his old world, this fact was deemed impossible because Teleportation wasn't something Magecraft could come up with. It was closer to the Second True Magic Kaleidoscope.

Speaking of Kaleidoscope, he could make a Craft Essence named Kaleidoscope with the instruction he received from its current wielder Zelretch himself. But instead of Dimension Jumping or Teleportation, it could only refill his Magical Power. Strange, right? Maybe the old troll had decided to mess with him by giving him the wrong recipe.

Back to business, after that huge and astounding discovery that even Arturia and Jeanne were amazed, he had decided to ask the only person that could possibly know about magic in this world. Sona Sitri.

A huge smile appeared on Issei's face as he thought about the possibility of using magic he had never even thought of. What a great world this is, even if it's a little messed up with all the war and the Factions thingy.

The school bell rang and immediately, Issei dashed to Arturia's table which was next to him. The girl was studying hard, unlike a certain Anti-Hero Spirit.

"Go to the council and tell Sona we are coming, Arturia. I will call Jeanne and catch up with you later." Issei said and ran out of the room. Jeanne was also a second-year student like him and Arturia but she was put into a different class because his was already full. Of course the girl wasn't happy with it and neither was he and Arturia.

…Maybe the same couldn't be said to Arturia because the girl had some really smug look on her face whenever she said she was going to class with Issei to Jeanne. Just side information, that face really doesn't suit Arturia. It's creepy.

Gently putting her pens and book into her bag, the blond girl slowly stood up and went out of the room as well. She was stopped midway by a girl with brown hair done in twin braid and wore glasses however. This girl was Kiryuu Aika, classmate of her and Issei, the girl with a unique ability that would rather left unsaid because of how useless it is.

"Arturia-chan, could you please, explain your relationship with our famous Loner, Hyoudou Issei?" Aika asked while point her finger at the blond Servant who had a confused expression on her face.

"He is my Master and I am his Servant. That's all. I believe I have already said that… Or do you not believe me?" Arturia answered with a nonchalant expression on her face. With her Charisma passive skill, what Arturia said suddenly turned into something a King would ask his loyal subject when they doubted him. Aika waved her hand negatively, denying the fact that she didn't believe Arturia.

"No, no! Not like that! It's true that it's super hard to believe that you and Issei are in S&M relationship with each other but what I want to know is why and what is it exactly." Aika said in a hurry but soon, her expression changed into one of concentration as she waited for Arturia to respond. The blond girl in question tilted her head cutely to a side which made the boys in class including the 'Perverted Duo' blush at her cuteness and sigh in content.

"It's just a normal Master & Servant relationship, we look out for each other, take care of each other and help each other out when they need. He giving me orders and I fulfilling his wills." Arturia said with a smile while Aika nodded to show her understanding.

"Why, huh? Because I want to be his Servant. If there aren't anything else, then I need to go. See you later." The blond said, full of confidence and walked out of the room to do as her Master wished. Looking at her distanced back, Aika sighed and returned to her table.

"I can't believe that someone so wonderful like you is a Maso, Arturia-chan. Meh, guess no one is perfect."


Kuoh Academy – Jeanne' Classroom.

The classroom was strangely quiet even after the bell rang, signaling the end of their class. No one dared to move out of their spot or even cause a single noise. Their teacher had already left the class in a hurry after the bell rang so why were they so stiff?

The reason was a beautiful girl with shoulder length light blond hair sitting at the back of the class, gazing out the window with a faraway look in her eyes. She has intimidating yellow eyes that could cause those with weak heart to yield to her but there are also some certain feeling in them. Sadness and Nostalgia.

Just side information, she wasn't wearing the usual uniform of Kuoh Academy. After acquiring permission from the Minister himself with special method, she was now wearing a modified version of Kuoh uniform which was painted black.

Sadness and Nostalgia… Some might think that the Special Class Avenger doesn't have any other feeling others than hatred and vengeance, but, sadly, they were all wrong. For example, The Count of Monte Cristo – Edmond Dante was an Avenger Class Servant but his love for his mistress Haydee hadn't changed at all.

And she, Jeanne d'Arc Alter or Jeanne Alter for short is also an Avenger Class Servant and she also knows what love is.


Flashback – Chaldea – 20xx

"I've already told you to ignore me... it is not advisable to be too close to a cursed witch. You will be burnt along as well." She said with an irritated expression on her face as she turned around to see none other than her Master Hyoudou Issei. The boy was tailing her while humming a happy, unknown rhythm.

"But I want to be with you, Jeanne. I want to know you more and be closer to you." Issei said with a charming smile on his face. Jeanne sighed and walked away, ignoring her Master again.

"Please don't bother me, and go break the heart of some other Servant if you want."

"Come on, Jeanne. Don't be so cold. We have been together for quite sometimes already and I really, REALLY want to know more about you, Jeanne." Issei said as he ran past the Avenger Servant and stood before her.

"Ei! You are so persistent! I'm a cursed witch you know! If you are any closer to me th-" Jeanne said with a scowl on her face while summoning a pitch black flame on her left hand. Whatever she was going to say however was interrupted when an irritated Issei grabbed the hand she was holding the flame with causing her to extinguish it less she harmed her Master.

"What are yo-"

"I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE A CURSED WITCH OR NOT, JEANNE!" Issei shouted with all his might, silencing the Avenger Servant mid-sentence. He gripped the hand he was holding tightly as if she would run away the moment he loosened his grip.

"I don't care if you are a cursed witch or not, Jeanne. I don't, really. For me, you are Jeanne Alter, MY Servant and my loved ones. I love you Jeanne, I want to know more about you, I want to care about you, I want to show you how awesome I am and I want you to be happy. I want you in my world, Jeanne and in exchange, I will become your world." Issei said passionately as he held onto Jeanne's shoulder tightly. His determined eyes looked straight into her surprised eyes, unwavering and passionately.

A blush formed on Jeanne's face as she averted her eyes, her lips moved a bit and her muttered was heard, breaking the short silence.

"R-Really?" She stuttered, she REALLY DID stutter. A smile spread on Issei's face as he looked into her eyes again and nodded slowly.

"Really. Believe me, Jeanne. I won't betray you. I won't leave you alone." Slowly, Issei embraced the Avenger Servant, her shoulder stiffened at first but slowly, she also returned the gesture.

"I love you, Jeanne."

"U-uhm." The Avenger Servant hummed in agreement as she nodded awkwardly into the Issei's shoulder.


Flashback – Chaldea – 20xx

Golden dust radiated from Jeanne's body as she closed her eyes in bliss… not that kind of bliss mind you. Her outer armor disappeared in a shower of golden dust, showing off her porcelain white skin, flat stomach, bare shoulders, almost her entire back and her beautiful thighs. Her busts also got a bit bigger now that her armor were off.

Another shower of golden dust appeared and this time, a pair of high heel steel boots appeared on her legs, a pair of black steel gauntlet appeared on her arms and she also got a flower like black steel skirt. Her hair was now getting longer and longer, turning to the same length as Jeanne d'Arc (Ruler) but her was wavier and has a lighter color.

Jeanne opened her yellow eyes and looked into the empty space with a faraway look in her eyes. Her Master's presence momentarily forgotten as Jeanne muttered out loud her thought after reliving her past during her Final Ascension.

"My grudge... no, there's probably nothing in this world that can compensate it. But then again, to meet you might be considered a miracle, Master. Thank you."

"Hm? What did you just call me, Jeanne? You just called me Master, right? RIGHT?" Issei asked, bewildered because he had never thought that he would, someday, heard Jeanne calling him Master. From the very first day, she had just kept call him Issei, even after their relationship began, that had never changed. But just now…

"Ha-Hah? What are you saying? You as my Master? Nonsense. And I didn't say anything good about you too, understand?" Jeanne said while looking sideway to hide her blush.

"Really? Forget it then. But I also heard something else… a 'Thank you' I guess…" Issei asked mischievously as he faked a confused expression. He had already known the truth, but teasing Jeanne was so fun that he couldn't restrain himself.

"Hmph. Your ears definitely have problem, I didn't say anything."

"I didn't say you did though…"

"…"

"…"

"*Cough* No-Now that I have reached my Final Ascension, you have done with me right? Are you going to shower other Servant your attention like you do with me?" Jeanne said calmly, her face was still a bit red from the previous embarrassment.

"What are you talking about, Jeanne. There is no way I would just abandon you. We have a promise, remember? And I'm not going to break it." Issei said nonchalantly as he approached Jeanne and held her hand in his.

"…"

"I see. So you wish to be burnt? Okay, okay, I will do that someday. You will definitely regret it when that day comes. If you still have no regrets knowing this, I will accompany you even to the depths of hell." Jeanne said as she shook off Issei's hand and walked out of the Training Room, a blush on her face as she was reminded of the promise.

"I have no regrets, Jeanne. Not then, not now and there won't be any either…" Issei answered softly as he looked at Jeanne's retreating back.


Present Time – Kuoh Academy – Jeanne's Classroom

'Wait a minute! Why am I thinking about that all of sudden?' Jeanne thought with a blush on her face and abruptly stood up, knocking off her chair during the process. Unknown to her, her sudden action had caused quite an amount of student in class to flinch in fear, some even pissed their pants because of the scary Empress.

The door was slide open and walked in an excited Hyoudou Issei. The boy ran straight to Jeanne's desk, ignoring the fearful students around and grabbed her hand.

"We are coming to the Student Council, Jeanne. Come with me." The brown hair teen said just that and dragged Jeanne away who instead of resisting, allowed him to do that. The Avenger Servant then looked at his hand which was holding her tightly and securely with sad eyes, a tray thought ran across her mind.

'Just not a week ago, I have tried to kill you, Issei. Yet, why are you still so kind to me?' Jeanne thought, remembering her reckless action when being summoned by Issei into this world.


One week ago – Hyoudou Residence – 1AM

"Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation.
Let black be the color I pay tribute to.
Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall.
Let the four cardinal gates close.
Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate."

Hyoudou Issei could be seen standing on a summoning circle in a dimly lit room with his hand out stretched and his eyes closed in concentration. 1AM was the time his magical energy reached its peak and tonight, he would summon another member of his family into this world. He continued the long incantation, causing the summoning circle beneath his feet to grow brightly with each words.

"Let it be declared now
your flesh shall serve under me, and my fate shall be with your sword.
Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail.
Answer, if you would submit to this will and this truth."

Arturia was also with him in her casual outfit, she was standing outside the magical circle, patiently waiting for her comrade, friend and sister to come. She smiled when the summoning circle lit up brightly, illuminating the dark room with its red light.

"An oath shall be sworn here.
I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven;
I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell."

With that said, the incantation was finished and blue energy shot out of the summoning circle. It twirled around like a twister of pure energy for a few seconds before pitch black flame suddenly engulfed its entire form. The column of black flame and energy got smaller and smaller until it was completely dispersed with a swing from the summoned Servant's weapon, a battle standard.

There, standing in the middle of the summoning circle in all her glory was none other than the only special Servant Issei had, Avenger – Jeanne d'Arc Alter. She was in her second state judging by her outfit.

She wore a black from head to toe battle outfit which consisted of a black slit dress underneath and a black steel armor that hugged her body and killer curves nicely. Overall, her appearance was that of a professional warrior possessing unreal beauty. On her left hand, she held her battle standard which bear the image of a wicked dragon while she held her once sacred sword in her right hand.

Her intimidating yellow eyes opened and immediately, she locked eyes with Issei. A joyful smile appeared on the latter's face while an enrage expression appeared on Jeanne's. She swung her dark, flaming sword at him, ignoring the usual restrain of the Command Seals.

A surge of winds blown Issei along with some other object in the room away as Arturia summoned her Invisible Air to block Jeanne's sudden attack.

"Jeanne, what are you doing? You are attacking our Master!" Arturia said as she used Mana Burst to push Jeanne back. The Avenger Spirit flipped in mid-air and landed safely on the floor, her yellow eyes burning with hatred and vengeance as she looked at Issei rather than Arturia.

"You! Who are you? How can you summon me and why… why do you so much like him?" Jeanne asked in a hurry as she pointed her flaming sword at Issei, who was looking at her in surprise.

"Jeanne. It's me, Issei. Do you… not remember me?" Issei asked fearfully, his voice shaking a little showing his fear of not being remembered by his beloved family. Jeanne gritted her teeth and sent a wave of dark flame at him which was intercepted by Arturia again.

"No… You aren't Issei. Hyoudou Issei is… My Only Master is DEAD! You can't be him. Faker!" Jeanne shouted and slammed her battle standard on the floor, her magical power skyrocketed and the surrounding scenery began to change. Arturia widened her eyes and released the true form of her sword, her stance widened and her magical power also increased several folds to match that of Jeanne.

On the sideline, Issei could only watch his two Servants, his family preparing to release their respective Noble Phantasm in fear. But he didn't fear for his well-being, he feared for his beloved Servants. If this continued, the two of them would end up killing each other!

Looking at the back of his right hand, Issei could see that his all three of his Command Seals were there. Like in his past live, Issei had infinite Command Seals, but he could only use three at once and every night, at 0, he would regain one Command Seal.

Back to the problem at hand, the brown hair teen got up and stretched out his right hand, his Command Seals glowed brightly and the air got incredibly thicker now that all three of them were releasing magical energy.

"By the power of my Command Seals…" Issei began but he was tad bit too late because Jeanne had already finished charging up her Noble Phantasm. Arturia too, it seemed as her sword was radiating a dazzlingly golden light.

"La Grondement Du Ha- Ugh" Jeanne released her Noble Phantasm on her own Master, Hyoudou Issei but it seemed that, just like Issei, she was also too late. Because of the nature of her Noble Phantasm which was somewhat like a Reality Marble, it had two states and the first part needed to be completed first before the real damage could be done. Firstly, Jeanne would turn the scenery around her into a living hell with dark black sky and a sea of flames, burning hungrily like it wanted to devour all living beings, and then, she would let her victim relish the feeling of being burn to death by releasing her flames of hatred on them. Frankly speaking, she killed them the way she was killed, burned alive.

The first part was completed but Jeanne couldn't finish her Noble Phantasm because Arturia was already above her with a fully charged Excalibur ready to strike her down. The Avenger Servant was forced to jump out of the window to avoid the deathly beam attack of her fellow Servant.

Arturia's attack had easily destroyed the house and ignited the night sky of Kuoh with a pillar of golden light. Jeanne landed safely on the ground and looked at the destroyed house, seeking traces of the blond Saber and her unfortunate Master. Her eyes narrowed in anger when she saw the two of them landed on the ground about 10 metres away from her.

Arturia was quite alright but the same couldn't be said to Issei. The brown hair teen had a lot of burnt mark on his body and he was grimacing in pain. While the most dangerous part of Jeanne's Noble PhantasmLa Grondement Du Haine was evaded thanks to Arturia's effort, being trapped in that Reality Marble of Jeanne was quite an experience.

"JEANNE! Stop what you are doing right now! You are harming our Master!" Arturia said angrily as she stood in front of Issei protectively. In return to the blond Saber's words, Jeanne laughed mockingly with a wicked look on her face.

"Kukuku. Our Master? I can't believe you changed your heart so soon, you most despicable woman. What happened with your so call sacred knightly oath?" She argued, looking at Arturia disgustingly while unsheathing her sword.

"…So you can't even tell that Issei has been reincarnated into this world as our Master once again. And here I thought you were the one closest to him of us all. Look like I was wrong." Arturia said sadly and flared her magical power, indicating the use of Mana Burst.

"..." Jeanne gritted her teeth angrily and propelled herself toward Arturia with a mighty stomp which crack the hard ground beneath.

"DON'T UNDERESSTIMATE MY LOVE FOR HIM!" The Avenger Servant shouted with all her might and attacked Arturia with a thrust from her flaming battle standard which was being used as a lance. In response, Arturia swatted her attack away with Excalibur in its released form and slashed vertically at Jeanne.

The Avenger Servant blocked the attack with her flaming sword in reverse grip and engaged in a heating deadlock with her fellow Servant. A smirk appeared on her face though despite she was being overpowered by Arturia.

"You know, Arturia, you have never beaten me before because of a certain something, right?" Jeanne said with a smug look on her face causing Arturia's eyes to widen in fear and realization.

"Kneel!" Jeanne shouted out and immediately, the ground beneath Arturia cracked as the blond Saber struggled to stand still. Dragon Witch, an ability bestowed upon Jeanne as an Anti-Hero who was the exact opposite of all the existing Hero.

Heroes usually have their legend tied with one or many dragons such as rising by Dragon or having a dragon pet, companion…etc, but most of all is killing dragon as a symbol of courage, power and justice. As an Anti-Hero spirit who opposes all Heroes, Jeanne Alter was manifested as an Avenger who has her Charisma skill from her previous class, Ruler, turned into Dragon Witch which gives her the ability to communicate, understand, summon and rule over all Dragon. Because of its EX-Rank, even Fafnir wasn't able to escape this dangerous skill.

While Arturia is a Servant, the girl has in her a factor of the red dragon which grant her unique ability and also, the characteristic of a Dragon. Simply said, even Arturia who is only a Demi-Dragon and has Magic Resistance as her class skill couldn't resist the absolute power over all Dragon of Jeanne.

Taking advantage of a busied Saber, Jeanne broke their deadlock, causing Arturia to lose her balance and stumbled forward. The Avenger Servant reverse her grip on her sword once again and strike down… that attack never came to its intent target though.

"STOP! (YAMERO!)" An ear-deafening shout coming from Issei caused Jeanne to stop just a few centimeter from killing off Arturia. The Avenger Servant scowled when she found out that she had been forced to stop with a Command Seal. Looking sideway, she could see her Master, strangely, kneeling on the ground with his arm outstretched, there were only one Command Seal on his hand though.

(No, seriously, play it with this scene!)

"Stop it… you both…" Issei said breathlessly as he groggily stood up and dragged his body over to Jeanne and Arturia.

"Don't you dare to order me around, you faker. Only my Master can and you aren't him!" Jeanne said with a scowl on her face as she pointed her black sword at Issei. The brown hair teen, instead of avoiding the dangerous sword, decided to grab it and pointed it straight to where his heart was.

"Jeanne! Look at me, take in my form, my appearance and then look straight into my eyes, see into my very soul with your, Jeanne. If you don't change your mind even after that… then, kill me." Surprisingly, Arturia was silent at this and the blond Saber had decided to stay away from the two though, her sword was still ready at her side. Jeanne's lips parted and her eyes went a little wider at Issei's bold words and the tears that were freely flowing out of his eyes.

"Master… My Master is already dead. Our times together, our memories together are nothing but an Ephemeral Dream. It was so short, yet, it was so fun. But with his death, I was woken up and realized that a dream was just a dream and all our times together was also, just a dream. Painful, sadness and loneliness was the only things that were left of me when I woke up from that dream. But even so, I still want to cherish that dream, as a dream that I wouldn't dream of ever again…" The atmosphere was silence as a sad look appeared on Jeanne's face as she shrugged off the weight on her shoulder. But soon, she took on an enraged expression and her grip on her sword got tighter.

"And then, suddenly, you appeared out of nowhere again and summoned me. Why did you summon me? What are you trying to do this time? Betraying me once isn't enough for you? Is breaking me that funny to you? You are just the same as those people, you heartless, cruel, monster! I… I don't want to be your Servant ever again!" Jeanne said with tears on her enraged face but pain and sadness were also evident on it. Her grip on the black sword loosened, causing it to fall to the ground which meant the last obstacle between her and Issei had vanished.

Step by step, the brown hair boy dragged himself loser to Jeanne and with each two steps he took, Jeanne retreat back one. With the last part of his energy, Issei jumped forward and hugged Jeanne who tried to resist.

"Sorry, Jeanne…" Issei muttered into her ears and with that, the Avenger Servant stopped resisting.

"I'm sorry, Jeanne. Sorry for leaving you behind, sorry for putting you through so much pain, Jeanne. Sorry…"

"'Sorry' that 'Sorry' this, what are you apologizing for, baka? I don't need your 'sorry'"

"I know. Because of that, I pledge you, Jeanne. Please, give me a second chance. Give me a chance to make your dream real… Please! Be my world!"

"…Why should I believe you? You have already betrayed me once. I don't want to be betrayed again. No, I'm not going to be tricked again."

"BECAUSE I'M YOUR MASTER, JEANNE!" Issei all but shouted out as he hugged Jeanne tighter, afraid that she would run away if he was to loosen up. Jeanne's eyes widened as the words forced her to remember her happy memories with her Master during his last live.


Flashback

"Baka! What are you doing out here? It's dangerous!"

"I'm here to back you up, Jeanne."

"Hah? Who the hell need back up? And why should you do that?"

"Because I'm your Master."

"…Suit yourself."


"…Why are you in my room?"

"Hm? To take care of you, of course."

"It's just a cold, I don't need your care or anything, you know…"

"Because I'm your Master, I can't leave you alone like this."

"…Hmph"


"Craft Essence: Threefold Barrier."

*Boom*

"Gah!"

"Issei! Baka! Are you nuts! Taking that attack head on…"

"But I'm your Master, Jeanne. I need to protect you."

"Master this, Master that. I know that already, you baka. Please, have more faith in me. If I can't even handle this much, then I'm not worthy of being your Servant."

"Jeanne… you…"

"I rely on you, Master so please, take care of yourself more… Hmph, it's because if you are sick then it would be bad for me. That's all. It's all for my sake, understand?"

End Flashback


"Because I'm your Master, so please, rely on me, Jeanne…" With that, the ice wall around Jeanne's heart was broken and she welcomed her true and only Master into her arms once again. Tears could be seen flowing out of her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of being together with her Master.

Her last time with him was like an Ephemeral Dream and the end of that dream was so painful that she was afraid of sleeping. Issei's death had really pain her. Jeanne didn't want to feel that pain ever again hence the reason she wanted to kill him the moment she was summoned. While it was painful for her as well, at least, she would be free from the feeling of falling into despair from heaven.

Though even so, deep within her heart, she wanted to dream that dream again, she wanted to relive the feeling she had when that Ephemeral Dream still lasted… She wanted to be his Servant once again… And in the end, she really couldn't bring herself to deny her Master.


End of Chapter 4, folks. Seriously, writing this chapter make me feel guilty for paying all of my attention to my sub acc instead of Jeanne...

Onigashima Event is going to end soon guys, hope you guys farm enough for this event :v

A decision has been made and that is the previous Servant list WILL NOT be replaced. There might be a Seventh Servant but no one in the previous list will be replaced.

Spoilers: The Sixth Servant will be mentioned in the next chapter :v I think so,

Now then, I will go to sleep now and i'm awaiting your precious reviews, folks.
