"I refuse!"
After hearing Reines' plan, Olga Marie had been nodding expectantly. If Sakura hadn't been holding her hand tightly and keeping her behind her, Olga Marie might have already jumped out to agree.
However, when she heard Sakura's categorical refusal, Olga Marie was shocked. Not understanding why Sakura would reject such a good plan, she quickly said,
"Wait, Sakura! Why refuse? Isn't this great?"
Sakura gently patted Olga Marie's shoulder, walked to the desk, and pulled a sheet from the stack of documents she had brought, placing it in front of Olga Marie.
"This is the plan proposed by Sister Touko. Her plan is for Elder Sister and the new Egyptian allies to directly annex those French forces by force. After the Singularity is resolved, these French people will be brought to the Spiritron World to be managed by Kiritsugu, in order to increase the Spiritron World's realism! And this document explains that the high-ranking French officials are a nuisance to the Spiritron World, listing various explanations and analyses!"
At this point, Reines said calmly in the projection,
"Touko doesn't seem to have specified how to handle Jeanne, has she?"
Sakura nodded to Reines.
"Yes, Touko's files didn't mention Jeanne d'Arc."
"That's exactly it!"
Reines said with a confident smile, turning the camera back to herself and speaking through the projection.
"Indeed, at the level of Rin and Touko, the combat power of an ordinary Servant is just the icing on the cake. Moreover, Touko probably thinks that if we want to replicate Christianity in the Spiritron World, we already have Martha and don't need another Saint like Jeanne, but I think Touko might have made a small mistake!"
Sakura looked at Reines's figure in the projection and asked in confusion.
"What mistake did Elder Sister Touko make?"
"Touko is too strong! So strong that she has ignored the possibilities of humanity! Sakura, how many Servant forms do you currently have in Chaldea?"
Although Sakura didn't know why Reines asked this, she answered honestly. After all, with the Incineration of Human Order occurring, Rin had already declassified most of Chaldea's information internally. Theoretically, there were no outsiders in Chaldea after the purge by Touko and Fujino.
Even if there were spies from other factions, Rin didn't think anyone could transmit information out of the Spiritron World. Furthermore, since Rin's ultimate goal was to turn the Spiritron World into her own phase, theoretically, the people in Chaldea would never be able to leave after saving the world without Rin's permission. Thus, Rin decisively chose to make most of the information public.
"Well, I currently have six Servant forms in Chaldea, and Elder Sister also said I should have other Goddess forms just like her!"
Hearing this, Reines's pupils shrank. Reines, who hadn't paid much attention to the public information before, didn't know that Rin and Sakura theoretically had the possibility of other Goddess forms. Hearing it from Sakura now, she couldn't help but be shocked. In Reines's eyes, the power and influence Rin held were already strong enough, but now she saw even more possibilities.
Goddesses, Magus, Magus who are almost equivalent to Magus, a large group of Servants, over a hundred thousand Dead Apostles, multiple Ancestors, and even the legendary True Moon (Remnant). These were just the powers Rin's faction had shown; how much more was there to be developed or hidden?
Not to mention Chaldea under Da Vinci's leadership! This organization, which originated from the Clock Tower but led it by countless eras in various technologies.
At this moment, a term involuntarily surfaced in Reines's mind: counter force! A counter force that led gods, Heroic Spirits, humans, Phantasmal Species, and the world! A growing counter force! A living counter force!
Once this thought emerged, Reines became even more determined to complete this plan and strive to become one of the decision-makers under Rin, for both her family and herself.
The high-speed brain activity in a short time caused sweat to bead on Reines's forehead, making Sakura, who had just finished speaking, look at her with a hint of confusion.
Reines wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, disregarding her noble image, nodded slightly to Sakura, and spoke.
"Sorry, hearing what you said, I couldn't help but overthink a bit. I overused my brain!"
Although Sakura didn't know what Reines was thinking in that brief second of dazing off, the gentle-natured Sakura didn't mind Reines's lapse in etiquette and said politely.
"It's alright, Reines. Please also take care of your health."
'Such polite words!' Reines complained inwardly.
"Let's get back to the main topic! Sakura, Touko's mistake was forgetting the possibilities of humanity. For instance, when I looked at the records for King Arthur, she has so many forms. Chaldea's records mention an Alter version, a Holy Lance version, a Lily version... a whole bunch! And Lily has clearly demonstrated to us that these different King Arthurs are likely special individuals with various forms, rather than clones like Servants! In other words! Jeanne d'Arc must have other forms too! I remember seeing records of a certain Dragon Witch form of Jeanne d'Arc, right?"
Hearing Reines's words, Sakura immediately recalled Jalter and Saber Alter, whom she had fought on the beach in Fuyuki City.
"Yes! In that battle in Fuyuki City, there was indeed Miss Jeanne—well, I should say a special individual of Miss Jeanne!"
"So, back to the point! According to Touko's plan, Jeanne would become something like a mascot after this Singularity. But in the best-case scenario for my plan, we can bring in an entire Jeanne squad through her, while also obtaining data and information on special phenomena like Heroic Spirit special individuals. At worst, we can get Jeanne to actively cooperate with our research on this situation! So, Sakura..."
"But Reines, no matter what you say, the high-ranking officials of the French Army are a nuisance to Elder Sister, and your plan cannot avoid them no matter what! So..."
Sakura, not wanting to say more, reached out to pick up the communicator on the table to turn it off.
"Wait! There's an even better reason for my plan! Based on my information analysis, the Dragon Queen currently occupying France is very likely a special individual of Jeanne!"
Sakura's hand on the communicator paused slightly, then she put it down and asked Reines in confusion.
"Is that true?"
"What this girl says is true!"
