Greeting Everyone. Well, chapter 15 is here. Not much to really say besides that honestly. Since nothing been happening as of late. In fact, it has been kind of boring. But I digress.

Onto the reviews.

angelvan105: I like Ruler, so yea she going to be pretty important. I do have a bit of trouble writing her sometimes though.

1512878291abc: Ruler can see EMYIA's stats just fine. She just doesn't recognize the True Name. Which makes sense since he's a Counter Guardian, not a Heroic Spirit.

UA1991: Issei will always be Issei, there no changing him really. I mean, if you try to change him it might as well not even be Issei. Just some boring, generic Harem protag. And sometimes. I feel this was one of those times where it was better to show the aftermath instead of the whole thing. As for Diodora... man. He certainly going to be something when we get to him. Ruler especially going to have a very bad time dealing with him. Sure, she's stronger than him. But as we seen before, Jeanne isn't the best at handling mental/psychologically attacks, and anyone who knows Diodora knows how he works.

And I know Raiser isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be. Even He has some good points. I'll probably be putting those to light more as well. But that doesn't mean he'll give a good first impression.

Well finally onto the chapter!

"Speaking."
"Thinking."
"Servant Speaking."

Jeanne wasn't really sure what to think of the sudden burst of population in the room. What went to form 2 people to a whopping 8, and one of the first two people aren't even here.

She also wasn't exactly in the mood to talk, not that she was upset, she was just quiet well... flustered. The boy name Issei tired to peak on her as Ai was going to look at her command seals. However, he was swiftly punished with little to no remorse. Ai threatened him beforehand. But he couldn't really resist the chance of seeing Ruler's possibly bare chest.

Jeanne was thankful to Ai, she wouldn't have been completely sure what to do herself since she didn't really want to start something on accident. But she does believe Ai went a bit overboard.

But because of this, she kinda tired to not be the center of attention and sat quietly at the Table.

It was a shame that they came because of her.

Most of them had their eyes on her. Some looking at her with interest. Others as a possible threat. Heck, the tall black hair girl known as Akeno Himejima looks like she found someone fun to tease. Ruler could tell she would be a problem during her stay in this little town.

Kiba and Issei seemed more interested in her. Kinda for 'What can she possibly do?' and Issei for... obvious reasons.

Ai was clearly watching her in case she planned to do something. Despite confirming herself that she was Ruler. She was still on guard. Admittedly not nearly as so as before. But she was wary and chose her words carefully when she talked to her.

Why did she not trust Jeanne? She didn't know. Was there something she was hiding from her?

Then was the small white hair girl Koneko. She couldn't get any sort of read on her. She has what Jeanne truly believes is the 'ultimate poker face'. Ruler gave up trying to read her when she realizes this.

The Red-head name is Rias Gremory... Well. She looks casual, a bit aloof, and seductive, and she was somewhat clinging onto a distraught Issei, comforting him in his time of need. She has a small grin on her face. But Jeanne could tell. Behind that face is someone that was constantly thinking and planning ahead. Her mind shorting though things as she constantly thought up and discarded ideas. She was judging Ruler over something, she didn't know what, but she could tell that she didn't consider Ruler as a possible threat at the moment.

But she knew one thing for sure. This woman was far more intelligent then she was letting on.

...Wait... Gremory? That name sounds Familiar.

Then it clicks, Gremory was a clan of Devils! And one of the clans the Grail warned her about. That means Everyone here is Devils! Well, all of them except for Ai, Jeanne could tell that she was human. But It was no wonder she had an uneasy feeling around them!

Jeanne for a moment inwardly panics. This was the one thing she wanted to avoid. She even suppressed her own power just to avoid them!

To make matters worse, she could tell they were involved with the two Masters! That meant there was pretty much no way for her to actually avoid them.

Oh, this was quickly becoming a bad day for Jeanne. Just what the heck was she supposed to do?! Did they the already tell other Devils about the nature of Servants? Should she get rid of them...?

...

No. She didn't know much about the Devils of this world. Really just the basic stuff like them Reincarnating Humans. But the fact that the Grail warned her of this particular clan must mean there important somehow. That meant getting rid of Rias and her group could have disastrous consequences. So that wasn't an option.

She also wasn't exactly keen on the idea of killing off a bunch of young people. Even if there Devils, they have so much to live for after all. But she can't just leave this as is... But messing with things you don't know is a stupid idea as well.

What should she do? What can she do?

"Uh, miss...?" Jeanne heard someone politely said. She then looks and sees Asia sitting across from her.

Ah right. The Last person. Asia Argento. She's a nice person, probably one of the nicest people she has ever met. And despite her being a Devil, Jeanne couldn't help but feel a sort of kinship with her.

"Just refer to me as Ruler," Jeanne told her.

"Ok, Ruler then. Does Isai really have this Servant?" Asia asks her.

"I'm more than sure you already know the answer to that question." Ruler simply said, Making the girl feel a bit embarrassed to even ask the question.

"... And Ai has a Servant too... Does that mean..." She then asks.

That was the looming question that was probably in the back of their minds when they learned not only about the holy grail war, but both Ai and Isai has Servants.

"Isai and I will never fight each other," Ai confirms, with not even the slightest bit of hesitation in her voice. "I refuse to even lay a finger on her."

"The grail war will only end when there one Servant and Master is left standing. Regardless of what you say. If you desire the Grail. It's only a matter of time before you two have to face off each other." Ruler told Ai.

"I have no interest in the Grail. The only thing I'm interested in is ensuring Isai's Safely." Ai told her. Jeanne only looks confused at Ai's statement.

"Do you not have a wish?" She asks her.

"My Wish to keep her safe. And I do not need the Grail to grant that wish." She told him. So she only in this war to help her friend. She quiet the loyal trusting friend, if not a bit foolish.

"And you joined the war she is a part of? A war where there only one can live? Does that mean you intend to even give your own life for her?" She asks another question.

Nothing but silence came to form Ai. As if she hasn't really thought about that question until now.

"...If I have-"

"Neither Ai or Isai-chan are going to die!" Issei suddenly shouts, interrupting the two. Jeanne could help but wonder if Issei does this a lot.

"And what makes you so sure in that?" Ruler asks him, funny enough it wasn't Issei.

"I don't know about you." Rias starts to say. "And sure they don't completely trust us. But Ai and Iasiviel are our friends,-"

"I'd use the term 'friends' lightly." Ai corrects.

"-and we're not going to just stand and watch as they die. Especially not by killing each other. If we have to. We'll just knock some sense into them." She confidently told the Servant.

"Isai did her best to keep me safe," Asia admits. "I don't think I could just let that happen."

"I also want to add Isai-chan to my future Harem!" Issei admits. Just when you think Ai is going to knock more than just some sense into him with extreme violence. ... She actually just laughs. Which caught everyone off-guard. She actually laughing to the point where she fell on the floor.

It was something Issei was especially not expecting.

"Are you ok Ai-chan?" Yuuto said, slightly worried.

"What's so funny?!" Issei said towards Ai, having recovered from the shock.

"H-hahaha! I-I'm sorry! T-that was just a good joke... A really good one." She said, wiping a tear out of her eyes. "I can't even be mad at you for something so funny."

"What so funny about my dream?!" Issei protested.

"It's not the dream itself. The dream is fine." Ai said between tired laughs. lazily pointing one of her fingers at the boy. "But Isai would never be apart of any Harem. Especially yours."

"What makes you so sure about that?" Issei had to ask her.

"Isai hates the ideas of Harems. She personality believe that true love should only be shared between two people." Ai told him with a smile at her face. "Your hopes of adding Isai to your non-existent Harem are about as likely as the universe suddenly deciding it wants to implode."

"Ara ara, Things can change you know." Akeno couldn't help but point out.

"Doubt it." Was all ai replies with. Waving it off as if it's nothing.

Jeanne then did a fake cough to get the attention of everyone back to her. Again, making her a bit nervous, but she only suppresses those feelings.

"Back to the topic on hand... If you choose to help out Ai and Isai. You do realize your opponents will be Heroic Spirits right?" Ruler points out. "Not only will you be facing some of the strongest people to ever walk the earth. But no doubt at least some of them will have something holy or something designed to kill beings like Devils."

Rias took the time to consider her words. Thinking about the pros and cons. Heroic Spirits did sound like a major threat to most Devils. But form what she was told before, these 'Servants' were just mere copies. So they shouldn't be as much as a problem right? But that doesn't mean that the can't just tread lightly. Even though the current Masters she's seen haven't shown much.

Sure, form what she heard. Ai is extremely skilled for her age and bested opponents like Freed multiple times, and Freed was someone Yuuto said would have been able to fight him evenly if he wasn't so injured. Still, Rias herself hasn't actually seen her in action and would prefer to see what she can do with her own eyes.

Isaiviel, in turn, one-shotted a fallen angel. But even when she did, she almost got herself killed. She also wasn't... The most skilled person she's ever met, but she was improving. Strong but unskilled. That was something that could be said about her.

If most masters were around there level of power. Then they might not be as much as a problem as Ruler claims. But Rias is no fool. She could see the potential in those two. And there certainly more to Servants then meets the eye. Copies or not, they are Heros.

And then there's Ruler. For some reason, she knew that Ruler was on a completely different level then Ai and Isai are at the moment. She could wipe the floor with them, and possibly her entire Peerage if she wanted to. Rias wasn't sure as to what exactly why. She assumes it has to do with the 'Holy Women' feeling Ruler is constantly giving off.

As such, she would be lying if she said she didn't want Isai and Ai in her peerage even more now. She also wanted Ruler, but she probably out of Rias's league at the moment. She also rather focus on Ai and Isai first. Not to mention she needs to make Issei even Stronger.

She would possibly gravely risk her Peerage if she does decide to help them as well. But in turn, she might be able to gain two more members. Both of which holding what she assumes a Great Hero within them. A High-risk, possibly high-reward situation... Not only that, but she does think of them as her friends...

Is this truly worth it...?

"... This would be something the rest of my peerage would have to agree on." Rias finally said.

"I wouldn't hesitate to help them!" Issei instantly said. "I don't care who I have to beat the crap out of!"

Ai just silently stood there. Waiting for there answer.

"A Rather foolish Idea. Going into something you barely have any knowledge of." Archer said.

"But that's what having friends for. To help each other." Yuuto said before Issei could retort. "Besides, we don't actually have to help with any of the fights. We could just help them train or get information just to name a few things. So I'm okay with it."

"That is true," Rias said, nodding in agreement. "We could at least help that much. But for things like actually fighting these Servants. I would want a better idea on how Servants work in general before I make any decisions."

"Also we would need some kind of repayment for our sevices~," Akeno said. "I don't mind helping Isai-chan at all. But that doesn't change the fact that even helping by say... just getting information, would be risky. Especially if you don't want other Devils to find out.~"

"I wouldn't mind getting someone out of it." Rias couldn't help but say with a smile.

Ruler... didn't expect this is how it would turn out. she honestly thought that they would have backed off knowing what they would face.

"Payment huh?" Ai said with her eyes closed. "What do you think Archer?"

"Training with Devils would be a good idea. That alone could offer the much-needed experience for us Servants to get used to this world. And another possible source of information could help us greatly. But it depends on what they want." Archer told her.

"I see... Then what do you want?" Ai asks Rias. Who in turn grins at her. which give her an.. uneasy feeling.

"Then... How about you join our Peerage?" Rias asks

And then there was silence. Neither Ai nor Ruler expected such a question.

Ruler herself, couldn't actually believe what she just asked. She just couldn't. She dare ask to stray someone from the path God intended them to have?

"You dare to try to take the soul from the Lord?" Ruler accused said.

"Eh?" Rias just let out. Not really expecting Ruler to suddenly burst out like that. "I mean. I am a Devil so..."

"I have tolerated the presence of you Devils since It don't believe you all to be 'Evil' per-say. But I won't allow you to taint another soul while I'm here!" Ruler told her.

"That's the choice. Not yours." Rias retorts. "Besides, Asia here still follows god, and she's a Devil."

Ruler was about to rebuttal on Rias's argument. But then she has a second take on what Rias just said.

"What...?" Ruler then looks at Asia, would just shyly nods in agreement.

"It hurts to pray... B-but I won't let that get in the way! I know God is with me! He led me to Issei after all!" She told her, much to the slight embarrassment of Issei.

"I just wanted to help her is all," Issei said. rubbing his hair a bit.

"I keep telling her that becoming a Devil means that God has forsaken her. but no matter what I say, she firmly believes in him." Rias admits. "So I gave up trying to stop her."

Jeanne broke on those words. Not once in her life as she ever heard of the idea of a Devil worshiping the lord. The idea alone she didn't even give a thought. But if what they're saying is right...

"I think that's a not something you get a say in Ruler. It's my choice." Ai butted in. "That being said. I'm not really keen on being a Devil."

"As stupid of an idea it is. It had some worth considering." Archer told his Master.

"...What?" Ai Shockenly said.

"The Holy Grail only grants the wishes of Humans if I remember correctly. So if you became a Devil, technically you shouldn't be liable to a wish anymore." Archer explained. "As such, you wouldn't have to die to protect Isai anymore."

"I... didn't know that," Ai admits.

"Only Humans can get a wish? What a Strange restriction." Rias said with a raised eyebrow. "You would think such a powerful device would be able to grant the wish of anything."

"Oh, it definitely could. But that doesn't mean it will." Archer said."None the less, the Body of a Devil is also far more durable than a Human. You would easily be able to handle more of my power with one. Though I would suggest still thinking about it first."

"Potentially." Ai corrects him. "Do you even know what will happen if I do?"

"You become a Devil." Archer jokingly said.

"Ugh, you know what I mean Archer!" Ai told him.

"Fine fine... I don't know what will happen, Master. If anyone would know it'd be Ruler." He told her.

Hearing her title finally made her snap out of it.

"Uh, what?" Ruler had to ask since she wasn't paying attention for a bit there.

"What would happen if a Servant/Master became a Devil?" Ai asks her.

"...Do you intend to become a Devil?" Ruler asks her.

"Probably not." Ai honestly said. "But I'd just like to know."

"...I do not know. It has never happened before so I cannot say." She told the Red-head Master.

"Really?" Ai asks her.

"Truly, Your friend asked the same question and I gave the same answer." Ruler told her. What does everyone want to be a Devil now?

"She asked that question...?" Ai quietly said to herself.

"Uh, miss Ruler" Aisa voice suddenly came out. "May I ask something...?"

Ruler quickly turns her eyes toward the God-worshipping devil... Which was still a hard concept to swallow.

"...That depends on the question." Ruler said. Not fully sure what to say toward her really.

"Uh, can I ask what your real name is?" She said.

"My Real name?" Ruler questionable ask. Her True name might be a bit... bad for a bunch of Devils.

"Uh, yes. You just... feel like someone Holy. So I wanted to know who you are..." She told her, looking away a bit. "I'm sorry for being rude."

Holy women? Did she always give off the feeling? Ruler didn't realize that. Did she not suppress her power enough?

Her eyes look over towards the other Devils. Her mind debating, should she? If it was just Ai she be fine with her. There aren't any real weaknesses to her name for people to exploit. But she wasn't sure how the Devils would respond.

But they do know she has some relation to God, that much is obvious.

"...Alright," she said with a nod. "I shall give my true name. But I may as well do this right."

She stood up as she said that. Summoning her Trademark flag. Everyone else became a bit wary at her when she did so, but she hasn't taken any Action towards them.

The flag probably was just incased they react negatively.

"Servant Ruler. Jeanne d'Arc. It is a pleasure to meet you all." She told them, bowing slightly.

And then it was quiet.

"You know. I'm not that surprise." Archer chipped in.

"Bullshit!" Both Issei and Ai yelled towards Archer... Then Issei realized what that meant.

"Oh god, I tried to peek on the Jeanne d'Arc?!" He said to himself.

", , ,Jeanne. As in, Joan of Arc?" Rias quietly asks in disbelief.

"Yes," she confirmed,

"... Lu Pucelle." Rias said again.

"That is a name I'm often referred to," Jeanne said.

"The Saint of Orleans," Rias said, holding the same tone as before.

"I would not consider myself a Saint. But you are correct." Jeanne told her.

"I'm... not sure how to respond" Yuuto admits.

"Well, it's certainly wasn't something I was expecting.~" Akeno said as she giggled.

Jeanne now knew for sure she was the one she had to look out for.

"J-Jeanne d'Arc?!" Asia meep, suddenly feeling very small and embarrassed about herself. "O-Oh Lord-ow-. I-I'm not worthy to be in your presence!" she then bowed at her and tried to make an attempt to pray. But she accidentally hitting her head on the table. "Ow!"

Well, this wasn't what Jeanne was expecting at all.

"I'm happy that you're happy, but you do not need to be so formal. I may be Jeanne, but here I merely acting as the Ruler Servant for the Holy Grail War. No more or no less." The Saint told Asia. "I would prefer not to be seen in such high regard."

"O-oh right..." she hung her head down. Feeling a bit of shame on her silly display she just gave her a moment ago.

"If anything. I am glad that another follower of the Lord is here with me." She said honestly... Thought it did feel very weird that she said that to a Devil of all things. "If you wish, we can talk about his teachings at another time."

Yea still feels very weird. She going to have to get used to talking to a Devil like this. but this still very much brighten the mood of the Young Devil. she was positively beaming.

This made Jeanne quietly question if she was really a Devil.

"Y-Yes! I would very much love that! T-thank you...!" she excitedly says. "W-Where are you Staying...? I-I kinda need to know if we're going to do that."

Ah... She forgot about that.

"... I'm currently staying in a hotel. But I'm thinking of looking for a cheaper place." She said. At that point, Asia gave a confused expression.

"Ah..." Rias said with a sly smile. Instantly knowing what going on. "Money problems I presume?"

Now, Ruler wasn't exactly bad with money per-say. But that doesn't change the fact she was a country girl from the 15th century. Money also equals Math. And Jeanne... Let's just say she wasn't the best when came to math.

It became especially hard when she had to convert her Euro into Yen. And when she did, she quickly came to realize just how little she brought with her. Her semi-limited budget would disappear quickly. Heck, She doesn't even have enough money to get back home at the moment. It was one of the reasons she needs to find a job while here.

"Admittedly so. But that's not really your concern." She said, feeling a bit bad that she has to say it out loud.

"Y-You can stay at Issei's place!" Asia quickly let out. "Issei's nice! He would gladly let you stay!"

"Huh? What?" Issei said when she heard her say that. Quickly looking at Asia, then at Ruler "Uh... Sure?"

"I rather not intrude," Jeanne told them. "I'm the one who put myself into this situation. It's best I get myself out of it."

"B-But we can't just leave the someone of your status like this!" Asia insisted. Again with the holding in high regard.

"She starting to sound like Isai," Ai said with a bit of a sweatdrop. "Then again, this is the Jeanne. Someone Asia would really look up too."

"No kidding..." Yuuto agrees. "But We don't even know if she's telling the truth."

"She's not lying. I can tell, a girl like her wouldn't lie. Rulers are Heroic spirits who wouldn't have any wish for the Grail. And Despite how short her life was, Jeanne would have a fulfilling left simply by serving her God... So I don't see any reason for her to have an actual wish. Also, Rulers tends to be a Saints. Not always. But most of the time they are." Archer said with a pause. "Also her stat sheet does say she's Jeanne d'Arc."

"A stat Sheet?" Yuuto questionably asks.

"Most Servants have a Stat sheet, It gives the Servants Stats, Personal skills, Class skills, Noble Phantasms, and general info about the Servant. and Ruler's automatically updated when she revealed her name." Ai confirms

"Sounding more and more like a Video game," Issei adds.

Asia then quickly went to... well the only person she knew who lives in a big. empty building.

"A-Ai-chan! you can give her a place to stay right? Your place is so big..." Asia pleaded to The young red-head.

"E-Eh?!" Ai, let out. not expecting Asia to come to her of all people. "Why should I?"

"You let that fallen angel live here right? You can let her in too..!" Asia told her.

"I didn't let her stay by choice," Ai told her.

"Again, I don't wish to intrude," Jeanne told her.

"Technically... She could work for her.~" Akeno suddenly said. Causing everyone to look towards her. "You wouldn't be intruding since you would be working here and you'd get paid, and Ai would have another maid to clean up the place for her.~ She has more than enough money for a couple of Maids after all."

Ai only narrowed her eyes at the Devil.

"Why are you trying to take away one of the only two things that give meaning to my life?" Ai told her.

"Ara Ara. I don't know what you're talking about~" Akeno said with a giggle.

"I agree with her. You still need more workers around the place. The Fallen angel would not be able to do all the work by herself. And remember your life is going to get far busier now. You won't have time to take care of the place." Archer said.

Ai only grumbles a bit at this.

Jeanne on the other hand actually thought about it. She needs money after all. She also definitely wouldn't mind staying here for a bit, since she really wanted to see more of this Japanese architecture.

Also having another person help with her school work would be extremely helpful.

"... I would make sure not to disappoint you." Jeanne told her.

"Oh, now you're suddenly on there side," Ai said, Somewhat annoyed by this.

"Please consider it...!" Asia pleaded to the girl... Who in turn would help but pull back slightly from the ex-nun. To her, it suddenly feels like Isai is asking. And the way she was likely currently made it really hard to say no.

"Ughhh... Why do you have to make that face...?" Ai lets out. biting his thumb slightly. "... I'll think about it ok?"

"C-can she still stays here as you think...?" Asia asks her. Ai stares at her... and sighs. She was starting to feel like some sort of pushover.

"...Fine." She gave in. "But I'm not going to go get her stuff. She can do that herself. Also, don't expect me to go easy on her when it comes to keeping the place nice if I decide to hire her."

"I don't mind," Jeanne said, bowing at her. "I thank you greatly for doing this."

". . . ." Ai just sighs. Lying down on the on the ground. "Where is Isai anyways? She's awfully late..."

Walking back towards the room with a cup of tea and a bottle of water in hand. I really feel a lot better after talking to Ruler.

"Honestly I feel like a New person," I said to myself. I really do mean it too. Sure I could have talked to say Issei or Ai, but I didn't feel like I would have had the same effect. It just one of those times where you feel the need to talk about something to someone you don't really know. You know, get it out without upsetting any of your friends. Ruler was also an understanding person too! I'm really glad I was able to talk to her.

"It is good that you feel better, Master," Saber told me. I could feel she also felt good about my mood. "You really needed to talk to someone."

"I know. I just... didn't want to talk to anyone I knew." I said. Taking a small sip of tea... ugg. I made it a bit too sweet... oh well. Too late to change it now.

"So do you know what you need to do?" Saber asked. Pfff, of course, I do.

"Duh, I just need to get stronger. Then we'll smash everyone else in our way and win that grail!" I told her.

Honestly. I'm still not fully sure about the whole killing ordeal. But while I was making tea. I started to think about the Grail and my wish...

The Grail can grant any wish right? So I'll just wish back every Master who died in the holy grail war! That way, even if I kill someone. They eventually come back! Of course, I would actually have to win the Grail for that to happen. But with Saber at my side, I'm more than sure I can win. I just need to be a Master worthy of using Saber's power.

If anything, this only motivates me even more.

"I see..." Saber sounds unconvinced. But I can't really blame her for that really. I still need to get my stuff together.

"Don't worry Saber. I really do know what I have to do now." I told her with conviction. "We'll see to this war. And both of us are going to win that cup."

"I'm not fully sure on how I feel about how you refer to the Holy grail as a mere 'cup'. But you are right. The Grail shall be ours." Saber agrees.

"By the way Saber. what's your wish?" I couldn't help but ask. I mean, I wanted to know for a While. But I never really felt I could ask until now.

She when strangely quiet for a bit there.

"... I wish to save my people, my country, from ruin." She said. Oh, that quite the Noble, yet simple wish isn't it? I can feel the passion in her words.

Even After Death, all she wants to do it make sure her people are safe. I couldn't help but respect that.

"...That's a nice wish, Saber. don't worry. We'll make sure to get that grail." I told her.

"Isaiviel!" I suddenly heard a voice. But before I could even React. The voice, which turns out to be my father, ran up, picked me up and tightly hugs me. Causing me to meep a bit and drop the drinks I held.

I'm not going to clean that.

I actually cough a bit form how hard is hugging me. Luckily he quickly notices and put me down.

"I'm glad your safe...!" He said in a clearly worried voice.

"...Safe? Why would I be in danger Father?" I ask him... Why would he even consider that I was in dang-

Wait... does... does he know about Ruler?... I had serious look on my face as I look at him.

"What's going on?" I said to him. "Why would you even think I was in danger?"

Father stood there, looking at me. I don't think he didn't even think I would ask him that. I just stare back.

"...Well?" I let out.

He is thinking. I can tell. I'm not sure what he is thinking about. But I know he's thinking.

He sighs, crouching down till we were both on the same eye level.

"... Remember when I said it was time I told you the Truth? I decided to wait a bit longer due to how you were then... But Now It's clear that I shouldn't hide it from you anymore." He told me...

The Truth...?

"What Truth?" Was all I could say.

"...It's going to be a long story. Do you mind?" He asks me. In which I only shook my head.

"... It all started when I came into contact with a man who goes by the name Jubstacheit von Einzbern..."

... Einzbern?

Near the entrance of Kuoh Town, Standing on top on top of a lamppost. Stood a tall figure in a ripped black cloak. You couldn't really see much due to the cloak, but the one noticeable feature he had was the White Skull Mask that he has donned on.

The funny thing was that he was perfectly in daylight. and there were a lot of people around him... But no one seems to notice that he's there.

"Are you sure this is where she came?" A masculine voice within the person said.

"I'm positive." The cloaked figure said, "All of our sources tells us this is where she went."

"Huuuh." The voice chipped. "Strange that a Saint would go into Devil Territory huh? Any guesses as to why?"

"Newly summoned Servant." The man said.

"Really now? If that's the case. Now be the perfect time to take them out, wouldn't you agree?" The voice said. The figure nods.

"Yes, but it is not our main objective." It said.

"Doesn't mean we can't try. Also, I'd be a nice bonus prize in case we fail. Which will probably will" The voice admits. "Assassins were never the best at direct combat."

"... Very well, if that's what you desire Master." The figure told him.

"But let's focus on scouting the Area first. I want to get a bit more familiar with the layout of this town." The voice told her Servant.

"As you wish." The Figure said, nodding.

"Then let's go Assassin." The voice told his Servant.

And with those words. Assassin starts to leap from lampost to lampost and into the town.

A/N: A wild Assassin appears! We all know he's a Hassan, but which one is he? I wonder... And just what are they trying to do? And Will Ruler ever get an actual break? Well, all I know is that things are going to take a very sharp turn. And not for the good.

Oh and Isaiviel is finally not being left in the dark. Kiritsugu probably going to keep somethings form her, like the whole lesser Grail ordeal. But she'll now know about his past and what's going on currently. Hopefully, she can take it.

Also, I'm not sure if I was keeping Asia in-character there. I hope how she acts was reasonable. She did just meet the Joan of Arc after all.

Now time for the Servant Sheet of the day. This one is for our good old red-headed Master.

Ai isn't as strong or as fast as Isai, but she is more durable and far more skilled. She also has access to most of Archer Skills. Which make sense due to how much longer Ai had Archer when compared to Isai with Saber.

If the two fought as is. I'm pretty sure Ai would win.

Some of you also probably noticed the 'Master's Skill'. As for what that is. Well. It's a Skill that bases off the Master's own personality and/or abilities rather than the Servant. Though Ai and Isai haven't unlocked there Master Skills Yet, and Ruler doesn't have one since she Masterless.

Also, unlike Class or Personal skills, Master Skills can change over time, becoming even stronger/weaker or changing to a different skill altogether. It completely depends on the Master.

I have Ai's Master Skill down. But I'm still thinking about Isai's

But that enough for now. So I'll see you all in the next chapter!
