[ "I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this, Child of God, Jeanne." The Marshal approached, shaking his head in disappointment. "What is this? I can't bear to look!"
Jeanne Alter clenched her fists and turned her head away. "It has nothing to do with you!"
"Silence…!" At this moment, the Marshal seemed to transform into his Caster-class Bluebeard persona, his eyes bulging as he scolded her somewhat maniacally. "To be working in such a vulgar place! Have you forgotten Saint-Denis?"
Then, he reverted to his Saber-class appearance, smiling warmly. "By the way, are there any beautiful young boys in this shop?"
Looking at the seemingly schizophrenic Marshal, Jeanne Alter rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on. "You… your words and emotions are all over the place."
"I am merely stating facts!" As his voice fell, his demeanor became manic again. "You refuse to listen to the heartfelt, loyal advice of your subordinate; I have truly misjudged you!"
After saying that, the Marshal returned to his normal appearance and added, "Ah, I have a coupon."
Looking at the Marshal, who was acting crazy and had inexplicably scolded her, Jeanne Alter suppressed the urge to punch him in the face and told herself… Endure, I must endure now! ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"This is… crazy but not completely crazy? It's definitely a split personality; the difference between the two is way too big."
"A coupon? He even has a coupon? How many times has this guy been here!"
For some reason, looking at the utterly manic Marshal, everyone felt their brains trembling… Miss Jeanne Alter, maybe you shouldn't endure it anymore; hurry up and make him shut up!
.....
〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
"What is wrong with this person? Dual personalities?"
Natsuki Subaru, who had been startled by the sudden bulging eyes, patted his chest with lingering fear.
How does he manage to switch back and forth between madness and normalcy? He was pretty normal back in the Grand Temple of Time!
Subaru couldn't help but recall the blood-pumping combination technique of the Marshal and Jeanne back then. That roar rallying under the holy banner was so cool.
But now… this Carnival really ruins the character setting of whoever shows up!
.....
[ Jeanne Alter forcibly endured the mental pollution coming from her subordinate, frowning as she constantly told herself to be patient, and turned around with difficulty to face the Marshal again.
However, the Marshal, having turned manic once more, was still outputting: "It's truly unbearable to watch. This is simply like a blasphemer who sold her pride to the devil."
"Even the soul has rotted…" The Marshal's face became increasingly twisted, to the point where he wasn't even sure what he was saying. "Another drink!"
Jeanne Alter, getting angrier the more she listened, had veins popping on her forehead. She finally reached her limit, pulled out her cursed flag, and completely transformed into the Dragon Witch, Jeanne Alter!
She unleashed her Noble Phantasm right then and there at the Marshal: "This is the roar of my soul, polished by hatred!"
"LA GRONDEMENT DU HAINE—!"
⦍Roar, My Fury⦎
The resentment of having customers stolen, the mental pollution from the Marshal, and the frustration of being bullied while working here—Jeanne Alter burned everything in the vicinity to the ground.
BOOM—
An explosion rang out. Amidst the thick smoke and dust, Gilles de Rais was spewing black smoke, hanging in the air with his chest pierced by several spears.
And this host club, opened by Merlin, had been reduced to ruins. ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
"Hahaha, that's the flavor, that's exactly the right flavor! I was saying something was missing; turns out it was lacking a gas explosion."
Looking at the raging fire, the explosion, and the small shop completely reduced to ruins, the crowd outside the video nodded in satisfaction.
Look at how angry this honest child was made. If her customers weren't being stolen, they were on their way to being stolen. She should have blown up this black-hearted enterprise with its intense internal competition long ago!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the First Singularity of Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragons: Orleans—
"That felt good!"
Seeing this scene, Jeanne Alter immediately felt much happier. As a Heroic Spirit, why on earth was she working a part-time job?!
She should have blown up this damn shop long ago. They actually wanted her, the dignified Dragon Witch, to clean toilets!
Now this is what Jeanne Alter should look like! She had been doubting if that person with the good temper earlier was really her.
Meanwhile, in the 7th Singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Jeanne Alter was happy, but Merlin was depressed.
"No, if you want to chat, just chat properly. Why blow up my shop?"
He was thinking that after dealing with the Mother Goddess Tiamat, he might see if he could run over to that world…
A small shop where so many Heroic Spirits gathered together was rare. Such an interesting shop, and you guys blew it up just like that! He had even thought about opening a shop to pass the time in the future.
He had even decided on the staff! Artoria as the poster girl, the Knights of the Round Table as employees… he was just short of opening for business!
.....
[ Having done all this, Jeanne Alter panted heavily, trying to quell the anger in her heart, and unleashed a verbal barrage at Gilles de Rais: "Are you kidding me? You don't understand me at all!"
"This place indeed has darkness that swallows humanity, but everyone is still fighting."
Hah?! Fighting?! With whom?
Tamamo-no-Mae, who had just crawled out of the ruins, was stunned… You misunderstood; when I said 'battle in the night scene' earlier, I didn't mean this kind of battle!!
"Suppressing their true selves, working hard in slender high heels! I, Jeanne Alter, will absolutely not forgive anyone who slanders these Heroic Spirits who are carrying out their convictions."
Listening to this blood-boiling speech, Gilles de Rais was moved to tears. "This heat… as expected of the Holy Maiden, I LONGED FOR!!" ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Although it's full of points to roast, but… You really have to admit, when it comes to speeches, both Jeanne and Jeanne Alter have unparalleled talent."
Yare yare, this scene is just too hilarious! It sounds so noble… provided you ignore the environment that Jeanne Alter just blasted into ruins.
At this moment, everyone didn't know what expression to make, feeling a bit disoriented. After all, the words sounded nice, but it just felt like something was wrong!
Heroic Spirits carrying out their convictions? Do such Heroic Spirits exist in a host club? And… what the hell is everyone fighting for! This is clearly just internal competition.
.....
[ "Well said! Clap clap clap…" Even standing amidst the ruins, the still spotless Artoria Lily was very supportive.
"I'm so moved. You will definitely become the number one star of this city!" Lily held Jeanne Alter's hands, revealing a smile full of encouragement.
"Really, can't do anything with you." Jeanne Alter suddenly blushed, raised her flag, and posed like a world-famous painting. "Come, everyone, follow my lead!"
In this atmosphere filled with hot blood, Helena, Queen Medb, and Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't hold it in: "Please don't cause any more trouble, sob sob."
"Eh?!" Jeanne Alter froze, her just-ignited morale collapsing instantly.
"Please rein in your divine powers!" Merlin walked out with a bitter smile, holding a large box. "This is your severance pay."
"What?" Jeanne Alter was truly stunned this time. She had just wanted to become the top star, and she got fired? ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahaha, getting fired on the spot, is that allowed? And there's even severance pay? What a conscientious company!"
"The venture failed before it was half completed… Miss Jeanne Alter's dream of being the top star ended before it even began."
The crowd even felt they might have wrongly blamed Merlin earlier. Jeanne Alter blew up his shop, and not only did he not make her pay for it, but she even got a big box of money. Totally a conscientious enterprise!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Emiya Shirou watched this scene, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
"A true world-famous painting, Liberty Leading the People, but this composition is just too… strange!"
Good heavens, how did she get fired up in such an inexplicable place? You are Jeanne Alter, an Avenger, not that Holy Maiden of France!
"I've decided, I'm going to work part-time at Merlin's shop too!"
Looking at that large box of gems, Tohsaka Rin swallowed her saliva, her eyes instantly lighting up.
Getting fired still nets so many gems?Where exactly did that fool with more money than sense, Merlin, open his shop? I want to apply!
Red A pointed at the ruins on the screen.
"Wake up. Merlin's shop blew up. You have no chance."
Meanwhile, the Knights of the Round Table in the Singularity and Red A had surprisingly identical thoughts… Good riddance! That criminal employing child labor finally got his retribution!
.....
[ Then the scene shifted to inside a certain grand cathedral. Amakusa Shirou, acting as both priest and nanny, looked apologetically at the three little girls before him.
They were the Kindergarten Group of the Heroic Spirit world: Jack, Nursery Rhyme, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter Santa Lily!
"I am truly sorry. There haven't been any Singularities where I could work part-time recently. Even though it's Christmas, there is only this little bit of food."
Before the Kindergarten Trio, there was only a small piece of bread and a glass of milk for each of them.
"Please don't mind, Master. We are already happier than the girls wandering on the streets!"
"After all, we can all live happily together!" The unusually sensible Kindergarten Trio very considerately understood Amakusa's difficulties. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Is this… the dead end of having three kids?"
Heavy, so heavy! Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly felt an inexplicable heavy pressure. Raising kids is not easy!
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
"…Didn't find a Singularity to work part-time…"
Fujimaru Ritsuka listened to the priest's statement, instantly feeling speechless and covered in black lines.
"Doctor, we seem to have found the reason why so many Servants appear in Singularities. TURNS OUT THEY WENT THERE TO WORK PART-TIME!!"
So, Singularities are actually workplaces? Then what are we, who repair Human Order? Thugs who go there to kick down the door and smash the place up?
And then cause Heroic Spirits like Amakusa, who is raising three kids, to lose their jobs?
Thinking about it this way creates a strong sense of guilt. Turns out we are the bad guys!
"This…"
The Doctor was also left speechless because he felt Fujimaru's words seemed to make a lot of sense.
With so many Heroic Spirits, he was envious, too! He even wanted to post a recruitment notice; he just didn't know where to post it!
.....
[ "Just as I thought, what you're eating is truly shabby, everyone." Jeanne Alter pushed the door open and entered, holding a large cake in her hand.
After speaking rather tsundere-ly, she pushed a small cart of gifts toward the Kindergarten Trio.
"Ah, the grown-up me!"
The three little ones instantly squatted down happily, each picking out their favorite gifts.
Amakusa Shirou looked at Jeanne Alter with gratitude. "You prepared so much; it must have taken a lot of effort."
Jeanne Alter said somewhat arrogantly, "Hmph hmph hmph! This level of effort is nothing to me. Of course, my loyal servants went and earned it for me."
Jeanne Santa Lily suddenly hugged Jeanne Alter's waist from behind and praised her, "For the grown-up me, you did a really good job!"
Jeanne Alter suppressed her embarrassment and summoned her courage to say the sincere blessing: "Mer… Mer… Merry Christmas!"
Jeanne, standing outside the door, caught sight of the heartwarming scene and felt a surge of happiness for her other self. "That's wonderful, the other me," she thought. ]
[ .....]
〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
Misaka Mikoto looked at the cute Santa Lily and was instantly captivated.
"I didn't expect Jeanne to go to work just for this!"
That line 'the grown-up me' is a bit of a flex… What a cute Santa Lily. If I want to raise one, where can I adopt her?
"Jeanne watching Jeanne Alter give gifts to Santa Lily… this scene looks weird no matter how you look at it,"
Kuroko silently roasted.
Is this some kind of tongue twister? Why does it have the shadow of Jeanne-Man: No Way Home (Three Generations in One Frame)? If this were a movie, it would make over a hundred million at the box office in minutes!
A small cathedral actually produced three Jeannes. This is poking a hornet's nest of Jeannes.
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
"By the way, is she really Jeanne Alter? Isn't this personality a bit too kind!"
Tohsaka Rin pointed at Jeanne Alter on the screen in disbelief.
The Emiya Alter shown before was as miserable as could be, with a completely changed personality. That was a true alter!
But now, other than dressing differently from the original Jeanne d'Arc and being a bit tsundere, Jeanne Alter's true nature hasn't changed at all! Oh… and she grew an ahoge.
Shirou Emiya was also unable to laugh or cry:
"So that's why she went out to work part-time secretly. Miss Jeanne Alter is indeed kind."
It really wronged her. Now I finally know why she was suppressing her anger all this time. It was for these three little ones!
But… so Heroic Spirits really do have to make a living?Does being summoned to fight in the Holy Grail War count as a part-time job?
"..."
Red A was silent. In that case, does that mean I've found a stable job with an iron rice bowl?
.....
(Author-san: The next chapter begins with Isekai Quartet, which is actually a work similar to Carnival. Except for Aqua, who is as stupid as ever, some character personalities might be a bit different, but that's exactly why it's interesting!)
