Welcome back everybody to the start of chapter 15! And only now have I put a photo on my profile pic instead of having the blandish default one. Hell, looking at my own profile, it's kinda empty. Perhaps I'll fill it more in the future.
But with everything said, let's start the chapter!

"Fou, fou."
"Hmmm..." Peko turned his whole body to the other side as he felt the creature touching his head, wanting to go back to sleep.
Not giving up, Fou bumped his head into Peko's back.
"Hhhrgh. What was it Fou?" Peko opened one of his eyes, turning his body around to face the creature.
"Fou fu!" Fou continued to make his noises as he pointed to the entrance of the tent where Ritsuka stood, taking a deep breath before stepping out into the sunlight.
"It's time then.." Peko looked at himself, at his own right hand, thinking about what happened on the night of yesterday. "I'll try and do my best to help." He closed his hand. "I'll be there soon enough Nala! Just wait a little more."
The boy got up from his improvised bad and with Fou, was ready to exit the tent. Before going out, Peko took a quick look at the inside of the tent. He could feel the heart bumping on his chest, feeling extremely nervous for what would happen today. Trying to ignore it, Peko opened the tent's curtains and stepped out, going to the camp outside.
"Alright Siegfried. Your job will be solely on defeating Fafnir. Only release your Noble Phantasm when engage in a fight with the dragon." Jeanne was in the table of the accampment, giving instructions to Siegfried as the rest also were sitting on the table listening.
Peko, not wanting to interrupt Jeanne's explanation, just walked to the table to take a seat.
However, Elizabeth spotted him while the rest was more focused on Jeanne. "Hi Peko! Had a good sleep?" She asked with a smile on her face.
By consequence, everyone else proceeded to greet him as well.
"Is it true what I've heard boy? You summoned your very own sword at the night of yesterday?" Mozart asked curious.
"Wait! So that means you're capable of fighting now?" Kiyohime was the next one to ask. "It would be good."
"No pressure on him Kiyohime." Siegfried told her. "He just learned how to summon it yesterday. I teached him some basics but it win't make him now a master of swordsmanship."
"Either way, that's good to know Peko." Jeanne smiled to the boy. "Hope you become a great fighter with your sword."
"Hum t-t-thank you all but it's nothing that out of the extraordinary." Peko blushed a bit.
"You were there with Peko-san when that happened weren't you Senpai?" Mash looked at Ritsuka.
"Yes I was. And let me tell you. That sword was anything but vulgar." Ritsuka tried to describe Peko's sword to Mash.
Elizabeth's curiosity grew largely. "Woooo. It's sounds cool." She looked at Peko. "Can you show it for us?"
"Humm, I..." Peko still wasn't perfectly good at summoning his sword, so he wanted to refuse politely.
"No need to put pressure on the boy now." Georgios told to Elizabeth. "If he doesn't feel like showing it to us now then we should respect that."
Feeling the weight coming off of his shoulders thanks to Georgios, Peko took a seat beetween Mash and Ritsuka, with Fou sitting on the top of the table.
"So that light was coming from the weapon you summoned Peko?" Mash leaned whover to ask in a whispering tone to the boy.
"Wait! You saw the light too?" Peko asked a bit surprised.
"Everyone here around the forest saw it. It shined too brightly." Mash said. "And then when you were asleep, Ritsuka and the Doctor told me and the rest about how you got your own sword."
"Well, not like there was a reason for keeping it a secret from you all." Peko felt a bit bad about not telling them about his weapon yesterday. "I was just too tired and wanted to sleep."
Mash giggled. "I know. Ritsuka also told me you begged for Siegfried-san to train you."
Peko then stared at Ritsuka with a mean look. "Did you really had to tell her everything?"
Ritsuka brought his arms up in self defence. "Hey! Mash wouldn't stop bothering me to give her more details."
"There's no problem in that Peko." Mash put an hand on the boy's head. "Hearing that you don't want us to do this all alone as the reason to become stronger is really sweet of you. You have my appreciation." She smiled at Peko.
"You have mine too." Ritsuka gave Peko a slap on the back.
Peko couldn't help but smile in return. "Thanks. Both of you."
The three then went to pay attention on Jeanne's attention for their assault on Dragon Witch's castle.
"The enemy clearly as the upper hand when it comes to numbers. But I can say that each servant here can take out at least 10 wyverns alone without problem." Jeanne looked at everyone from the group. "We also have to take into account the servants of the enemy side. See the advantages and disadvantages that they can have."
Elizabeth then put her hand in the air.
"Yes Elizabeth? Have something to say?" Jeanne gave permission for Elizabeth to talk.
"If anything, can I be allowed to fight that assassin woman? She's my older self after all." Elizabeth said with a motivated fire in her voice.
"You sure Elizabeth?" Jeanne rised one eyebrow up.
"Of course I am! Who would know me better than myself after all huh?" Elizabeth exclaimed. "I can take care of that old hag!"
"I doubt if you could do it alone." Kiyohime said to Elizabeth who just gave a small grunt in response.
"Fine. I'd say you have the arguments fkr wanting a fight with that specific enemy." Jeanne said. "What's one of the most important things here is to eliminate Fafnir." The saint looked at Siegfried. "How's your weapon Dragon Slayer?"
"It's good and charged to it's fullest, ready to release it's powerful Noble Phantasm when the time comes." Siegfried replied.
"Good to know. And another important objective is..." Jeanne looked at Peko sitting in front of her. "...to rescue an ally that is trapped in the castle in her current situation. I already saw her fighting skills with the sword. Saving her would be a great addiction to our side if she finds herself to be capable of fighting if we manage to rescue her."
Jeanne sounded like a general giving orders. After all she was also one during the war. With the beautiful figure and benevolent nature, it was sometimes common to forget she was also a leader of an army and already had quite the experience on the battlefield. Everyone would listen to her instructions, given that they were coming from the mouth of a legendary warrior.
"I hope you're still holding on Nala." Peko let himself to stop hearing Jeanne's words to think on his sister for a second. But as of now, Peko could only wonder what was happening to Nala and if she was well or not. If she was sleeping, being fed at all. Concerns that he wanted a response immediatly. A positive response in this case. "I'm coming Nala. We are all coming for you!"
"Yaaaaaaaawn." Nala woke up while she stretched her arms the best she could. Looking at the barricated window, she saw the sunlight passing through it. "It's morning already."
After escaping from the castle, Nala and the horse she used to help her escape had fled so far away until the animal got tired and couldn't keep running anymore. Thankfully for both of them, they had found a hut near a riverside, wich Nala, already tired and sleepy for not being able to rest for 2 days now, decided to spend the night there. The girl had hit the jackpot, seeing how the inside of the hut was in good conditions and a large bed for her to sleep in. But first she had lured the horse inside the hut, to prevent the animal of getting killed or stolen at night, and then Nala barricated the windows and main door with the furniture. Finally, she could close her eyes and sleep under a roof that didn't felt menacing to her.
Jumping back to the present, Nala was taking out the furniture of the main door and once done, the girl slowly opened it, in alert of possible monsters nearby. As the seconds passed and no sign of hostility came, Nala felt safe to step out of the hut, being accompained by the horse.
The two went to the riverside. The horse to drink and Nala to wash her face. The water was clean and quite transparent. Nala sinked her hands in the water and poured it in her face. It was refreshing.
Letting out a satisfying sigh, Nala looked at her own reflex in the water. She touched her hair to see if it was alright. "Hmm, have to tie it again."
With a dark blue ribbon in her hand, Nala went with her hands to the back of her head and tied the hair with the blue ribbon into a ponytail. "Much better." Nala said to herself as she checked her ponytail into the reflection.
As she went to see the horse, Nala noticed how it wasn't besides her anymore. The horse wasn't nowehere to be seen. "Where-"
A high pitched noise came from behind the hut.
"Keep it quiet you stupid animal!"
Sensing that the horse was in danger, Nala runned to the back of the hut, finding the horse's lead being pushed by a lone soldier's hands. Behind him there two corpses of a man and woman. Possibly the couple and inhabitants of this hut.
"You..!" Nala summoned her sword, ready to fight.
The soldier, seeing Nala with her weapon, immediatly tried to difuse the situation he put himself in. "W-wait! You got it wrong! This couple was long dead before I arrived here! I didn't killed them!" The soldier let out the grip of the horse's lead by instinct.
Seeing it, the horse returned back to Nala, who lowered her sword, seeing that the man was trying to be peaceful with her. Giving a deeper look at the bodies, she saw that their state was already rotting, clearly making some days since they died. So the soldier was speaking the truth.
"Alright. I believe that. Yet, you tried to steal my horse." Nala pointed accusatorily to the soldier.
"Excuse me? Your horse? Don't you see the armour and mantle it's wearing ?" The soldier referred to the horse's equipment. "The horse is from the army! It belongs to us! So I was just trying to get it back."
"That's..." Nala tried to find a way to reply to the soldier, but realized she had none. "...a good argument actually."
"You bet it is. Perhaps you are the one who steal the horse from us! You little thief!" It was now the soldier's turn to accuse Nala.
"What?! No I'm not! The horse here helped me escape!" Nala replied angrily.
"Escaped from what exactly?" The soldier asked, waiting for the answer.
That's when Nala gulped. He wouldn't believe, would he? "Well hum...I...I escaped from the Dragon Witch's castle with the help of the horse!" Nala said it almost in a hurry.
The soldier stood silent, not knowing if what he heard was true or just a lie from a kid. "What did you said?"
"That's right! You've hear it loud and clear! I escaped from the Dragon Witch's castle!" Nala repeated, this time with more assertiveness.
Without saying nothing, the soldier walked torwards Nala, his face completely shocked. He kneeled to look Nala in the eyes and grabbed her shoulders. "Child..." He said, completely open mouthed. "Are you saying the truth? D-did you really escaped from that cruel woman's lair?"
Nala nodded with full certainty.
The soldier stood up and looked to the other way, hand covering his mouth, clealry thinking about something.
"Does he belive it or not?" Nala watched with curiosity the man walking right and left in front of her. He truly was having a debate with himself inside.
A few seconds after, the man finally stopped his feet and stared at Nala. "Care to come with me?" He simply asked.
Nala looked at him with suspicion. "I don't know. Is it a trap?" She slightly raised her sword, showing the soldier that it wouldn't be an easy job if he wanted to fool her.
"No it's not. I sware for my life and my children!" The man backed himself up.
Nala lowered her weapon again. "You have kids? You're a fath- I mean, ok then! Where are you taking me?"
"To an outpost of our army. My general is there alongside other soldiers too." The man revealed to Nala, starting to walk away from the hut. "Make sure the horse is coming too please." He requested.
Nala complied and followed the man with the horse on her side.
Walking into the woods, Nala noticed a small shine in the soldier's pockets. It seemed to be a necklace of silver and two golden rings. She tought back to the dead couple at the hut. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her had just done that.
"It's wrong to steal from people you know?" She looked displeased at the soldier's back.
"I know. However they were dead." The man said almost coldly. "These items mean nothing to them anymore. It loses the value once you're dead."
"And what are you going to do with those then? This country is being destroyed by the Dragon Witch and I don't think even some jewels could make her forget about the whole revenge thing." Nala tought what the soldier was doing was out of greed.
"I'm just trying to make a small fortune so that my wife and kids can escape from here and go to another region far away from France." The soldier explained his actions for looting dead bodies.
"Looks like I judged him wrong then."" Nala tought to herself, feeling a bit guilty now for thinking this man was nothing but a thief. "If you what are saying is true, then I wish you good luck."
"Thank you little girl." The soldier replied back. "I'll make sure my family gets saved from this mess" The soldier pushed away some tree brenches. "Also, do you have someone you're looking for? A child like you must have a family."
"Oh, well I do have people that I'm looking for." Nala thinked about Peko, Ritsuka and Mash.
"Then I hope you can find them. It's lucky to have people you care about alive at this moment. Not many have that luck now." The soldier said, making a sudden signal for Nala to stop. "We've arrived." The man made another signal as the two and the horse were now standing in front of some gates. The soldier made another signal, being received by the doors opening.
Nala walked in, guiding the horse to the entrance. Inside, they were received by some soldiers. As the soldiers were about to take the horse away from Nala, the animal shaked his body a bit agressively, not wanting to leave Nala's side.
Seeing this, Nala decided to calm the animal. "It's okay. They won't hurt you." She patted the creature's face. "Thank you for helping me escape. You're a good boy. You can go with them."
With Nala's words calming the horse, the animal believed in the girl and allowed to be taken by the soldiers of the acampment.
"You seem to be good with that horse." The soldier who came with Nala said. "Now this way. I bet the general will be intrested in hearing about your feat."
The two walked inside the acampment, reaching nearby a tent where a man with dark hair was discussing some tacticts with other soldiers on a table.
"General Gilles de Rais!" The soldier called the man's name.
Hearing the name, Nala immediatly got chills down her spine. "Wait!? Did he just said what I think he said?"
The dark haired man, hearing his name being called, dismissed the soldiers surrounding him and turned his back to look at who had called him. "So you're back from your little expedition." He said.
"This voice!" Nala exclaimed inside, trying to not get in panic.
"Tell me.." the general stared in the eye of his man. "What did you find?"
"It's...him?" Nala found it strange. He had the same voice as Jeanne Alter's friend but his face looked normal, as if he was a different version from the wicked man she saw at the castle.
Gilles de Rais looked at Nala. "You've brought a girl here. Is she lost?" He asked with concern, making Nala even more confused. This Gilles de Rais acted very differently from the other one.
"I found her near a riverside General." The man speaked. "She told me she had escaped from the Dragon Witch's castle with the help of one of our horses."
"W-what?" Gilles de Rais said dumbfounded. He looked again at Nala, trying to imagine how a girl like her managed to escape from that horrible place. "Wait! I think I've heard of you before."
"You've...heard?" Nala asked shyly, thinking if this Gilles de Rais was actually a disguise of the real one and was about to reveal himself now that he caught Nala.
"Yes. Some of my soldiers have told me about you. A white haired girl that helped them in a battle a week ago." Gilles de Rais said. "It's a pleasure to see that you're real and not a myth that was invented to keep our hopes up." He extended his arm to Nala. "I'm the general Gilles de Rais. And you little lady?"
Nala didn't know if she should shake hands with him despite his good person behaviour. Romani and Da Vinci were right if this was the normal Gilles de Rais before Jeanne D'arc's death. To make him go for this noble knight to that monster...
A sound came from Nala's stomach, catching Nala herself off guard. She hadn't eaten for quite some time now and was getting hungry.
"It seems you haven't had some food for a while." Gilles de Rais noticed it. "Here." He grabbed a bread that was lying on the table. "You can eat it."
Nala, not sure if she could completely trust him but with huge hunger, took the bread out of the general's hand and started to devour it like an animal.
Gilles de Rais and the soldier were surprised and speechless by Nala's action, who looked at the general with fierce eyes while chewing the food.
"Gulp! Thank you." Nala said. "I guess I can trust you. So, I'll share with you the things I saw on that castle."
With the things ready and packes, the group being led by Jeanne was now on it's way to the Dragon Witch's castle, ready to end her mad revenge for once and for all. For the Chaldea trio, this would be the biggest fight they've been so far. And it would be an understatement to to say they weren't nervous.
"Hmm.." Peko could feel his hands trembling. They wouldn't stop. He had a sword now, so it was expected he'd help his group more now. Altough Peko felt somewhat happy for finally having the opportunity to fight the responsability was also bigger now.
Looking at Ritsuka who was at his side, he caught glimpses of sweat on his ching and neck. Like him, Ritsuka was also nervous about the fight, having the bigger role of being the master and leader of the Chaldean group.
It was understandable, the conversation they had with Siegfried the night before, made them see how serious this fight would be.
"Hahaha. I did it! Ritsuka look! I have my own sword!" Peko happily stared at the sword he recently got.
"I see it! It's incredible Peko!" Ritsuka went to hug Peko, feeling joy over the boy's achivement.
"Haha-Oh! Woooh!" Peko let the grip on his sword get soft for a second and the boy immediatly felt all the weight of the weapon going down, trying to still hold it with Ritsuka's help but the sword ended up falling from his hand nontheless.
"Careful! That is not a toy!" Romani scolded the two, mainly Peko.
"Sorry doctor." Peko apologized.
"What he is saying is true." Siegfried said as he approached the sword on the ground. "Weapons like this can cause huge destruction." As Siegfried tried to pick up the sword, the weapon gave a small shock on the dragon slayer's fingers. "Ggrgh!"
"Siegfried-san! Are you alright?" Peko asked him.
"I'm fine. No need to worry. Looks like this sword only let's get carried by it's wielder." Siegfried said.
"Really? Now that's intresting." Romani said as he watched Peko picking the sword up from the ground, this time having a tighter grip on his arms. It was clear this was the first time the boy had ever wielded a blade.
Siegfried started to talk again "As I was saying, you now have to be careful and learn how to use it. A weapon like that is your greatest ally. Handle it well and you'll defeat many opponents with it in the future."
"T-thanks Siegfried-san." Peko was still trying to adjust to the sword's weight.
"Can I make a question for you then Siegfried?" Ritsuka asked.
"Sure. Go ahead." Siegfried said.
"This doubt, has been haunting me...even before we came to this Singularity. Perhaps, ever since I was designated to carry out this order." Ritsuka looked at Siegfried. "Will I see many people dying on our journey?
"Ritsuka..." Peko said with a bit of shock in his voice while Siegfried didn't replied immediatly, knowing that the master of humanity still had things to say.
"It's that, before arriving here, a person that I knew and sympathyzed even if it was for a short time died in front of me, and I couldn't do nothing. Now Marie has died too and I know there was no way I could've done something but...still, another person I considered a friend is dead. So please, tell me if I'll watch other people die as I go further in this journey!" Ritsuka almost shouted, frustrated at himself.
"Yes, you will." Siegfried answered with all the honesty he could, not trying to sugarcoat it. "It's sad to see someone die. No one likes seeing the death of a person that they care about. But there will be times on your journey that you won't be able to proceed or survive without someone else sacrificing their life for you. Yet, you two can't let that fact bring you down. Marie has died because she believed by putting her life on the line, we would be able to take down the Dragon Witch. Her sacrifice is what allowed Georgios to arrive in time to heal me of the curses and also saved hundreds of citizens that day. She went out like a hero in order for us to succeed. Many allies that you'll find across your path to humanity's salvation will do that. Perhaps even tomorrow."
Ritsuka and Peko were both silent, knowing what the Dragon Slayer was saying was true.
"Wich also makes me go to another point about your sword Peko." Siegfried looked at the boy. "You probably can figure it out what it is."
And he was right. It didn't took a long time for Peko to know what Siegfried was talking about. "I'll...I'll have to kill the enemies with my sword, right?" He said sadly. Peko never tought he'd have to do it. But as Siegfried said, this sword could also be a mighty weapon of destruction and killing.
Siegfried approached the boy and grabbed his two shoulders. "Don't be sad like that. Understand that your opponents want to kill you. So you have no other choice but to fight back and kill them as well. I know you're just a kid but now you'll have to fight for your life with this sword, even if it means taking another's life."
The dragon slayer then looked at Ritsuka. "I want both of you to know this. Killing is wrong, however, if it's to protect yourself and the ones you love against people that mean to harm you and the people you hold dear, then killing is justified. Tomorrow on the battle, prepare your hearts for what can happen. Be ready for the worst but also push it for the best. Understood?"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Both said in unison.
"To protect the people I love..." Peko tought about that line, not hearing Mash calling him out.
"Peko! Are you hearing?" Mash touched him by the shoulder, getting the boy's attention.
"Huh? What is it Mash?" Peko asked, not hearing what she was talking about before.
"You're nervou arent you? I saw your hands slightly shaken." Mash said a bit concerned.
"!" Peko didn' want to admit it. Not now when they were on their way to a decisive battle.
"It's okay if you are. You and Senpai arent the only ones." Mash smiled, comforting Peko. "I too am a bit nervous to be honest."
"Sorry Mash. It's that...if it goes wrong? What if we die and-"
"Those are just "ifs" Peko." Mash responded. "Nothing his decided yet. We need to stay optimistic and believe in the victory. Only that and doing our best will give us the victory. It's normal to be nervous before a moment like this. However do not let that bring your hopes down." Mash told him. "You too Senpai."
The shielder touched Ritsuka's hand as the master heard his name being mentioned. "You're doing a good job as a master so far. Don't let the pressure of that role affect you."
Ritsuka turned his head. "Mash, I...You're right, I'm not being a good master if I spend the time having fear of a battle. I need to be better than this. Or else we won't save Nala. She's counting on me." Ritsuka stared at both Mash and Peko. "She's counting in all of us. So as a member of this group, we have to rescue her!"
The reaction of Mash and Peko was of a smile, now being more optimistic on the fight ahead.
"I couldn't have said it better myself." Jeanne voice from behind caught Ritsuka's attention. The french saint was standing there with all the other servants behind her, all ready and confident for the battle that awaited them. "We will bring the Dragon Witch down. For Marie and every french citizen that has suffered." She stretched her arm to Ritsuka. "So heads up my master. This is a battle to reclaim humanity's future!"
"I see you're all here and ready." Jeanne Alter said with scorn, sititng in the throne and looking at her servants that were about to enter the battle. "Altough some of you are looking different now."
And it was true. Archer was still corrupted with the same pitch black eyes and broken state she was in. However she wasn't the oy one broken now.
Sanson after his battle with Marie was mentally devastated, not having a will to fight anymore. So Jeanne Alter and Gilles forced him to continue fighting for them through Gilles unholy and corrupted magic and now the executioner was in the same state as the archer. And then there was D'eon who was just as broken as the other two, altough no influence of Gilles magic on their body. After hearing the news from their master that Marie had died, they completely snapped, the elegant appearence of the musketeer now all messed up. The sanity all three had, even if put together was most likely zero.
Vlad, Carmilla and the recent knight Berserker on the other hand were still the same, no changes detected on their body or mind. Gilles was standing beside his friend.
"That doesn't matter however. Your body and mind even if twisted and screwed up, will still fight for me and obey me, as I'm your master. And as your master I-"
"Dragon Witch, what exactly are you?"
"Ah!" Jeanne Alter's body recoiled slightly as she put an hand on her forhead.
"Jeanne! What happened?" Gilles asked concerned for his friend.
"It was nothing Gilles." Jeanne Alter responded. "Just a jolt of my nervous system. She tried to appease the situation. Deep inside that line from Marie was still messing with her. And it was so annoying for the Dragon Witch, like something that was stuck inside her head, bothering her but couldn't be removed.
"Ok Jeanne. Sorry for getting worried for no reason." Gilles apologized.
"It's okay Gilles. I don't blame you." Jeanne Alter proceeded to continue her talk. "Our enemy is now coming to our doorstep, trying to put a end to my revenge. That witless saint thinks she can stop our thirst for destruction and blood. Let's give her and her equally foolish companions a final lesson of who we are and what is our purpose. Go to the front gates!" Jeanne Alter raised her voice. "All the wyverns are already outside! Make sure to have no mercy and drown them in their own blood!"
With that, all the servants dissapeard from the throne room, leaving Jeanne Alter and Gilles alone. "And if by any chance that bratty girl appears again." Jeanne Alter's hand lit up on fire. "I'll make sure to mark her for ever." She closed her hand into a fist, extinguishing the flames.
"Jeanne" Gilles called her, now standing on the balcony's entrance. "They've arrived."
Getting up from the throne, Jeanne Alter walked to the balcony to see for herself. Outside, Fafnir was resting on the tower next to the balcony, waiting for any orders from the Dragon Witch.
From the distance, Jeanne Alter spotted them. Her enemy and other part of her across the big deserted field that had been cleaned up from the bodies in order to start the battle. "So you really came eh? Good." Jeanne Alter took out her flagpole and let it waggle in the air. "This will be your grave."
From the other side of the field, Jeanne D'arc stood tall alongisde her allies, all focused in the enemies and castle ahead of them, also noticing the countless army of wyverns in the sky, almost covering the grey clouds above. It certainly difficulted their job.
"Ready?" Jeanne looked to her allies, all of them nodding and giving the confirmation they were good to go.
Jeanne then took out her flagpole, looking at the balcony on one of the highest towers of the fortress, knowing that her alter counterpart was there, targeting her eyes on Jeanne's face.
Jeanne Alter, seeing that Jeanne was looking at her from the distance smirked evily. "It's time." Jeanne Alter raised her hand and lowered it, being followed by Fafnir's roar. It had started.
"Go now! Attack!" Jeanne Alter shouted to her army of wyverns who immediatly descended from the sky, heading torwards Jeanne's group.
"Move forward!" Jeanne also shouted and pointed the flagpoint to the castle ahead, resulting in the servants starting their assault.
"Devour them! Make sure no one is left alive! I'll burn you..."
"Stick together and be careful for any attacks from above! We must reach to the castle and stop the..."
"Maiden of Orleans!"
"Dragon Witch!"
To be continued...
And that's the end of chapter 15. Way shorter than the previous one but it served to start the final battle of Orleans. Damn the next chapters will be intense with my writing the chapters.
Also shoutout to Soluxy for being the first review ever of this fanfiction. Thank you bro, for your support and being the first guy to post a review here. I appreciate it and it's nice to see you're liking my story and I hope to keep you invested in it.
Now moving on, I don't have much to say about this chapter since well, it was probably the shortest of the recent chapters I've written. Nala encounters the good (boring) Gilles, Peko and Ritsuka having insecurities wich is understandable since this is their first big battle, so better be prepare for it, Mash is a bit nervous too and yeah, expect the next chapters being all fights. Hope to make a good end out of this first singularity and the first one of my fanfiction.
But that's all I wanted to say and see you next time on chapter 16! Peace!
P.S: Watanabe: "Wow master. You've just summoned me a day ago and I'm already NP5. You must have really good luck."
Me who was trying to roll for Douman and ended up spending my 500 SQ to not get him in the end: "Hehehehe. Yeah, I'm very VERY lucky."
Moral of the story: Never try to roll for evil dressed wizard clowns.
