Goodbye Jeanne D'Arc (82k)

Chapter 501 Goodbye Joan of Arc (8.2k)

"Roy?"

Joan of Arc opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Roy, she laughed in disbelief and surprise.

How long had it passed before she actually returned to this world?

"Welcome back, Zhenna."

With a relieved smile in his eyes, Roy stepped forward, opened his arms, and gently hugged the girl in front of him.

Joan of Arc was quietly held in his arms, looking at Roy, who was a head taller than her.

"You seem to have changed a lot."

At first he was only a little taller than her, and his body was very thin, as if he could fall down if the wind blew. But now he has completely transformed into a real man, and his whole person has become much tougher. His growth can be seen in his unmoving eyes.

"You must have been through a lot, thank you for your hard work."

The saint girl's eyes softened, and she gently reached out and hugged Roy's head, like a mother comforting a wanderer who had returned home after a long time. The girl's arms exuded infinite tolerance.

"If you understand my hard work, you can't leave my side this time."

Roy gently let go of Joan of Arc, his eyes were firm, and he asked the girl without hesitation.

"Well, I will definitely not break the promise this time. This time I will definitely stay by your side forever!"

Joan of Arc recalled the last encounter. Although her departure was the order of the root, there was still deep guilt in her eyes, and she made a categorical promise to Roy.

She had promised to come to him again, but she didn't expect that it was Roy who summoned her first. Even from his demeanor, Jeanne could see that he had undergone tremendous changes from before. He must have been weathered and experienced countless hardships. Fighting, she will not escape this feeling, but will spend her whole life to heal his pursuit and pain.

"Can you tell me what you went through?"

Joan transformed her armor and weapons and flags into spirits, disarmed them, leaving only a nun's uniform. She took the initiative to hold him, intertwined her fingers with Roy, and gave him a bright and curious smile.

"I want to know how long I have been absent from your life, so that I can work hard to make up for it!"

"For me, as long as you stay with me, it's enough..."

"Please!"

"If you wish... then let's go!"

Roy groaned, and when he saw Joan smiling like a coquettish smile, his heart softened and he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Roy took Joan of Arc back to Fuyuki City, first changed her into casual clothes, and then took her on a journey to review the past.

When it comes to looking back on the past, the first thing to look at is of course a certain barren mountain that has been burned to scorched earth.

That was the place where Roy originated and where he first met Joan of Arc.

"How about we start from Fuyuki City!"

When they came to the barren mountain, Jeanne saw that Roy didn't look good, and knew that he refused to come back here from the bottom of his heart. She immediately suggested that she try to take Roy away from here.

"...No, no need."

Roy's face did not look good. As soon as he returned to this place, he would always think of the years he spent in the laboratory.

"When it comes to looking back on the past, this is a place that absolutely cannot be avoided... I can't stay stuck in the past. That will create a spiritual flaw, and I must overcome this flaw."

Compared with the past, he has undergone tremendous changes, but until now, there has been no fundamental change. He has been trapped in that past. This is his nightmare. Although he has never actively mentioned it to others, Even now, when he returns to this place in his dreams at midnight, he will still wake up in fear.

It's now time, he can no longer be trapped in the past.

If he doesn't transcend this past, he will have no future!

Seeing his insistence, Joan of Arc stopped talking and walked into the barren mountain with Roy.

By now, this barren mountain has long been abandoned, and the original magic workshop had long been destroyed by Roy, but the traces of it can still be seen everywhere.

Roy stepped into it, and the memories sealed deep in his mind suddenly came flooding back, reminding him that it was definitely more than just a past. It was the biggest wound sealed in his heart, making his breathing involuntarily rapid. A few points.

Having said that, Roy is far less fragile now than before. Even if he returns to his most embarrassing past, he is not overburdened mentally.

The two stayed in the barren mountains for a long time. Roy told about his origins, his encounter with Jeanne, and how after Jeanne left, he pretended to be hypnotized, and then sprang out like a poisonous snake, destroying the Jiemon clan and burning the past. All told.

Immediately after the two people left the barren mountain and headed towards Fuyuki City along the wilderness, Roy relaxed a lot and recounted his experience of being rescued by Aozaki Aoko and brought to Fuyuki City. After returning to Fuyuki City, , he soon met Aozaki Orange, learned magic under his guidance, understood his own magic eye, and began to control the Great Holy Grail, and was infected by the curse of the Great Holy Grail.

When it came to how to remove the curse, Roy became vague and only said that the curse was released through venting.

Joan of Arc listened attentively, with no abnormality in her expression, and I don't know if she understood.

Soon the two people's review came to the Holy Grail War, and Roy summoned Okita Souji and Taigongwang.

"Tai Gongwang!"

Roy suddenly slapped his forehead, his face full of astonishment.

"It's bad, I forgot about Taigongwang outside the world!"

Damn it, he didn’t even remember until now!

He was originally under the protection of Taigongwang, and the two of them entered the outside of the world together, but he was taken away by the source at that time, but Taigongwang was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, he has not returned to Fuyuki City, and he is obviously still in the outside of the world!

"Forget it, Joan of Arc is more important now."

Roy shook his head and put Taigong Wang behind his head for the time being.

That's the outside of the world, and even he can't get there easily. If the root is asked to help, he will most likely ask for the monthly rent of the black spiral card as payment. The decisive battle with vampire Vegeta is approaching, and the monthly rent opportunity is very important. , can't be wasted, Taigongwang can't defeat the vampire Vegeta even if he comes back, it's better to put the monthly rent on the blade first, and wait until there is a surplus later, or he can go to the outside of the world in person, and then bring Taigongwang back!

Well, that's right.

It’s definitely not that he loves his relatives and friends!

His performance made Joan of Arc speechless.

Both of them were familiar with the Holy Grail War. After Jeanne d'Arc's last death, Roy quickly fought against Jin Shining. Through several hidden trump cards, he finally succeeded in defeating Jin Shining, Kotomine Kirei and Angola Mainyu. After killing them all, the next step is to take the Great Holy Grail to the outside of the world, meet the source, agree to its invitation to cooperate, and become its pioneer.

Joan's expression changed after hearing this. She was ordered by Yuan Yuan to come to the original Roy, but why did Yuan Yuan attach so much importance to Roy? Even Joan didn't know. Now she finally understands that Roy is here. He was chosen by the Roots a long time ago. The reason why he had such a hard time growing up was because the Roots must account for at least half of the blame!

"I'm sorry, it seems I was also used as a gun."

Full of self-blame, Joan apologized to Roy.

Her appearance and departure are all part of the root arrangement.

Although she didn't know why Yuan Yuan did this, it was obvious that she was used by Yuan Yuan to influence Roy, and she was partly responsible for why he became what he is today.

"For me, meeting you is a kind of redemption."

Roy held the holy girl's hand tightly and looked at her without any gloom in his eyes. He just smiled.

"In the end, even if there is really someone at fault, the person who has to bear the responsibility is definitely not you. On the contrary, I think it's great that you were the one who appeared at that time."

If someone else had appeared at that time, he, Roy, might not have been able to survive today.

He was able to leave that barren mountain alive, and Joan of Arc was a necessary part of it.

Even if there is a mistake, it is all the fault of the root cause!

Even though Roy said this, Joan was still in a bad mood. She intuitively felt that she must have had a very bad influence on Roy, but she couldn't figure out what kind of influence it was.

In order to change her mood, Roy thought for a while and took Jeanne back to the underground of Aozaki Mansion, passed through the world passage, and came to the floating city of Rikka.

As soon as she arrived in Rikka, Jeanne's attention was completely attracted by the city as expected. For the first time, a real different world truly appeared in front of her eyes. Everything in the city in the near future dazzled her.

Roy told Joan of Arc his story in Rikka. He first hypnotized the Galaxy cadres and was wanted, then enrolled in the Star Guide Hall, and then won the Phoenix Star Warrior Festival. During this period, he naturally had relationships with Claudia, Julis, Fragmentary stories of Todou Kirin, Sylvia, Stella and other girls.

"Roy is so popular."

Joan of Arc said something casually, which scared Roy so much that his heart skipped a beat.

Then came the cursed return to the world. Roy followed the real person to this world, where he became a teacher at a high school and hung out with young girls such as Hisato Hisashi, Fushiguro Megumi, Kugizaki Wild Rose, and Goto Ichiri. By the way, he also solved the special curse spirit, broke the conspiracy of the thousand-year-old monster Kensuo, and killed the strongest curse king in history.

Regarding the matter of Maki and Zheni, Roy was vague and confused, saying only that a family sent a pair of sisters to make a deal with him.

"Hey, that's it..."

Joan of Arc said thoughtfully.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Roy coughed lightly and took Jeanne back to Fuyuki City, and then entered the Magic City. He talked about joining the Demon Defense Team, getting rid of Yamashiro Ren, defeating the Eight Thunder Gods, and summoning Tima to defeat He tried to be as vague as possible about the matter of the Water Snake God, Kyoka Umae's becoming a slave, the slave's reward, etc.

"Slave..."

Joan of Arc nodded, looking like she was thinking, still not sure what she was thinking.

Then he returned to Rikka and talked about Roy's involvement in the Golden Branch Alliance's conspiracy and holding the Rikka Strongest Finals.

Joan of Arc didn't say much this time.

In the end, it was naturally the turn of One Punch World.

Returning to Fuyuki City, Roy asked the root to reopen the channel to the One Punch World.

This was not only to review the past with Joan of Arc, but also to discuss plans to face the enemy with the girls around him. When he left the One Punch World, he had just summoned the girls.

Roy knew that Jeanne would definitely see the many girls around him now, and he didn't know how she would react, but if he could run away, the monk could not escape from the temple. He simply had a heart attack and took Jeanne to the Shueisha Central Building. .

At this time, after receiving the notice from the artificial intelligence, almost all the girls who were still in the One Punch World gathered on the top floor of the Central Building.

As soon as I walked out of the world passage, I saw a group of beautiful girls in front of me.

Almost all of the people gathered here are members of Roy's harem. Several civilian girls such as Hayasaka Ai are not here. Rin and Orange are still in Fuyuki City. In addition, there are also Izumo Tenpo and Azumachiho who are not in his harem. Both of them have very strong abilities, and other demons The girls from the defense team are not here, nor are the heroes who jumped from the Heroes Association. They can't defeat old Piccolo, let alone Napa and vampire Vegeta. This time only Mechanical monsters and numerical monsters are incompetent.

"Lord Roy!"

As soon as Roy appeared, Nishiki Chishu, Zenyuan Mayi and other girls came over excitedly, and a group of warblers quickly gathered around him.

Roy felt guilty for a while and secretly glanced at Jeanne.

But he saw that Jeanne was just stunned for a moment, looked over with a strange expression, and met his gaze, with a touch of helplessness in her eyes, but other than that, there was no other reaction.

"Roy, tell me more about you and these girls?"

Joan of Arc looked over at Roy, with a faint smile on her face.

Although it was strange, Roy did not feel that she was angry, but seemed to seriously want to know the story between him and these girls.

"...Aren't you angry?"

"How do you say this..."

After hearing this, Jeanne thought for a moment and then spoke helplessly.

"Of course I'm a little jealous, but they should have comforted your soul during my absence, right? Then they are indispensable to you. Rather than being angry, I am a little happy that you finally Like a normal person!”

Now it was Roy's turn to be speechless.

How abnormal was he before, so that Jeanne didn't even have time to care about being jealous and was only busy caring about his mental state?

"Then you really want to listen?"

"Of course, this is also part of your past. I want to know everything you have experienced since you were separated from me!"

Roy had no choice but to tell Joan of Arc the story with the girls in detail.

"That's it..."

After listening to this, Joan of Arc did not comment on his interpersonal relationship, but instead held her smooth chin thoughtfully.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Roy, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual in his expression, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, Roy has not realized that there are overwhelming irrationalities in his interpersonal relationships..."

This is probably the reason why he has not yet fully integrated his personality.

"Everyone, the reason why I have summoned you here is for a very important matter..."

Roy came to the girls and told them without reservation what he had learned from Kusuo Saiki.

The girls immediately started making noises. They didn't know that the manga world probably existed. After all, there were Demon Slayer comics in the Cursed World, and Demon Slayer's Ghost King Onimushuji Muzan actually appeared in the Xingetsu World, but they really didn't. Thinking of it, it turns out that even the Dragon Ball world really exists, and they will even have to face such a terrifying enemy next!

"In short, you first shrink the power of each city, and then everyone returns to Fuyuki City and uses the Great Holy Grail to materialize the soul!"

Roy arranged for the girls.

The battle plan can be discussed after they return. Their safety must be ensured first. After returning to Fuyuki City, they have nearly two months to discuss the battle plan.

Seeing that Roy's instructions were very serious, the girls took action one after another.

Izumo Tenga and Yachiho stood among them, looking out of place.

Roy looked at the two of them with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Smallpox, Yachiho, you two may not be able to materialize your soul..."

The materialization of the soul is based on the unique rules of human beings in the Xingyue world.

In the world of Xingyue, although the soul will be dragged down by the body, the soul itself is eternal and immortal, containing endless energy. The materialization of the soul is essentially turning the soul that cannot exist alone into matter that can appear alone. From then on Living in the world as a soul, because the soul is eternal and has infinite energy, so after the soul is materialized, human beings can live forever and become a perpetual motion machine with infinite magic power that can never be used up.

But this is because the rules of the Type Moon World determine that "the human soul in the Type Moon World is eternal." Human souls in worlds other than the Type Moon World may not be eternal. Izumo Tenga and Higashikachiho are the best. For example, their souls are specious existences with the souls of the Xingyue world, and their souls cannot be materialized.

"Then why can the team leader and others do it?"

Yachiho had heard about the name of soul materialization, and she was quite happy to have the opportunity of immortality and unlimited energy. When she heard that it was not possible, she immediately pouted her mouth and pointed at Hanae Kyoka and Yamashiro Ren and asked Roy .

Izumo Tenka pulled Yachiho's clothes and whispered in her ear.

"Because they adapted."

Yachiho was stunned for a moment, then her face quickly turned red.

"Ah this..."

Her mother, grandmother, and sister have all been on board, will it finally be her turn next?

"Let's go back to Fuyuki City first."

Izumo Tenga smiled at Roy and pulled the blushing Azumachiho into the world passage.

Yes, Uzen Kyoka, Nishiki Chishu, and Zenin Maki can all have their souls materialized, because Roy has helped them adapt to the rules of the moon world.

As long as the soul materializes successfully, their bodies will no longer be ordinary flesh and blood bodies, but will become soul bodies composed of spirit sons, similar to those of servants.

No matter how much matter is dispersed, spirit sons will never be completely destroyed. As long as enough time passes, these spirit sons will still come together by instinct and become the original people again. This is the eternity of the soul body. The principle of immortality is just that it takes a long time, maybe thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands of years.

The girls stepped into the world passage one after another, returned to Fuyuki City, and materialized their souls.

Roy took Jeanne and left the Shueisha Central Building, and started spinning around in the One Punch World. He told her about his achievements in the One Punch World in the past nine months, including destroying the Weird Association, killing Dio, and annexing the Heroes Association. wait.

"Have you never had a relationship with a girl in this world?"

After hearing this, Jeanne looked at Roy strangely.

So far, he has picked up several girls almost in the same world. Why did he change his gender when he came here?

"It's just a connection, not a relationship..."

Roy was slightly ashamed and took Jeanne to the vicinity of Tatsumaki's house.

Three months have passed. The damaged buildings near Tatsumaki's house have been rebuilt long ago, and almost no trace of the original damage can be seen.

"I'm not very familiar with these two sisters..."

"Are they sisters again?"

The two were walking on the nearby street. Roy explained that he was not familiar with Fubuki Tatsumaki, while Jeanne laughed and teased him.

"Hey, isn't this the culprit who destroyed the city in the first place? How dare you appear on the streets openly? Do you have no intention of repenting at all?"

While the two were talking and laughing, a discordant voice interrupted.

Roy frowned slightly and turned around with an unhappy look. He happened to see a few people dressed as gangsters surrounding a young girl in a corner of the street. They were accusing the girl in a sloppy tone.

Seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Roy raised his brows.

"What's wrong?"

Jeanne noticed his reaction and asked curiously.

"It's the tornado I just mentioned."

Roy pursed his lips in that direction.

Surrounded by several gangsters, the one being provoked was a girl with green curly hair. With a girlish figure and a long black high-slit skirt, she was undoubtedly a tornado.

Surrounded and provoked by several third-rate gangsters, Tatsumaki's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she obviously looked like she was about to explode, but she somehow endured it silently and endured the insults of several gangsters without saying a word.

"I really can't understand how someone like you dares to appear outside?"

"You actually destroyed everyone's house. I've never seen a hero as willful as you!"

"The most important thing is that the target of your attack is actually the president of Shueisha. Do you know how much that person has contributed to world peace? Can you do it casually? Are you worthy?"

"I heard that Shueisha didn't want you. That's so true. You don't deserve to be a hero!"

Several gangsters surrounded the tornado in the center and began to deal out the damage with their mouths.

The previous Tatsumaki would have knocked them away with a single blast of telekinesis, but the current Tatsumaki stood there motionless, without moving a hand no matter how ugly his face was.

This scene attracted many onlookers, who gathered one after another, pointing at the tornado, with repulsion and ridicule in their eyes.

Jeanne looked at this scene and couldn't help but frowning.

"That girl..."

What mistake was made?

Before she finished speaking, she saw Roy walking over next to her.

He walked into the crowd without hesitation, and in full view of everyone, he picked up several gangsters one by one and threw them away like garbage, causing them to hit the wall or fall in the garden one by one. Suffered varying degrees of injuries.

"How could you-Eh?!"

"You are the strongest in the world, the president of Shueisha!"

When the onlookers saw this, they were about to accuse him, but after seeing his face clearly, they all became silent.

"Aren't you a hero? Why are you attacking us?"

"So many of us are injured, you have to pay for it!"

The two gangsters with only scratches stood up and stared at Roy with dissatisfied expressions.

Roy's expression remained indifferent. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the two of them flew over automatically, fell into his hands again, and were thrown away by him again.

"How much I have contributed to world peace, why do you ask me to pay compensation? Do you deserve it?"

Roy sneered slightly and looked at the gangsters with a mocking expression.

"Aren't you a hero? Isn't your duty to protect us?"

Another person sat up from the garden and saw the two people being thrown against the wall, coughing up blood. His face suddenly became uneasy, and he accused Roy incomprehensibly.

"Tsk, talking to you guys takes so much effort. I'm still on a date."

Roy snarled and glanced at the gangsters impatiently.

"Human beings need to be treated differently, and those who need to be protected are normal people. In my eyes, you are just humanoid garbage. I don't mind if you burn them. What is the need for protection?"

Several people were dumbfounded.

Is this what a hero should say?

Is this what the boss who commands the heroes should say?

Burning them doesn't mean killing them, right?

Several gangsters turned blue and white, and ran away one after another.

The onlookers looked at this scene, but they just felt weird. Some people applauded and cheered for Shueisha's heroes as before, while others dispersed silently.

"Why are you so good today?"

Roy ignored the group of ordinary people and turned to look at Tatsumaki, who had a surprised face.

"With your personality, even if you beat them all away, it's not an exaggeration, right?"

Tatsumaki retracted his surprised eyes, and his expression gradually became cold.

"I'm no longer a hero."

"Then what?"

"...I damaged a lot of houses three months ago."

"Did you pay compensation?"

"Three times the loss."

"so what?"

"What's the reason?"

Tatsumaki crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and looked away.

"I already made a mistake three months ago. If I make another mistake now, who knows how the media will accuse me."

"...What a shame."

Roy was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and looked at Tatsumaki with some disappointment.

"You're getting so boring."

"What did you say!"

Tatsumaki suddenly became furious and stared at Roy with a murderous look.

"Although I taught you a lesson before because you attacked me indiscriminately, in the final analysis, you did it for the safety of my sister, which I think is pretty good, so I didn't leave any substantial scars on you. But now you are getting bored."

Roy looked at Tatsumaki with an indifferent expression, ignoring her increasingly angry expression that she might come up and slap him with a paw at any time.

"If you say that you take action without permission, you may implicate Fubuki. I also think you are a bit interesting. You have become so timid just because of the accusations from the media. You are not the trembling tornado in my impression. You are just like a hedgehog. No more It’s the guy with the flat head from before.”

"Hey! Who do you think is a hedgehog? Who used to be Brother Flathead! Do you think Brother Flathead is a good metaphor?"

"It's up to you, I don't care about your business anyway!"

Roy ignored her screaming and looking like she was going to fight him desperately. He ducked back to Joan of Arc and left with her in a huddle.

No matter how loud and provocative Tatsumaki was, he had no intention of showing up.

"It's boring..."

Tatsumaki didn't stop until he was tired of shouting, chewing Roy's comment unconsciously in his mouth, with a bit of annoyance in his expression.

"You don't need to tell me!"

She also knew that she had been so gloomy for a long time since the collapse of the Heroes Association, and even Fubuki had said this to her several times.

Fubuki suggested that she join Shueisha, but she was reluctant to make a decision out of her antagonism towards Roy.

But if she continues like this, she might be looked down upon by Roy!

"I don't believe it. Shueisha is really a dragon's den and a tiger's den!"

Thinking of Roy's expression as if he was looking at a passerby, Tatsumaki felt angry for a moment. His look made her even more angry than looking at an enemy. She quickly rushed home and took out her cell phone to contact Fubuki.

…………

"I said I was too lazy to take care of it, but in the end I took care of the girl."

After leaving the vicinity of Tatsumaki's house, there was no need to continue shopping. Roy took Jeanne and returned to the top floor of the Shueisha Central Building. At this time, the place was empty. Roy and the two also followed the world. The passage returned to Fuyuki City, and the world passage was cut off again.

Joan looked at Roy with eyes full of smiles, and teased him with an ambiguous expression.

"I just think she shouldn't continue to be silent."

Roy curled his lips and said nonchalantly.

"Although Tatsumaki is a strong-willed girl who easily loses her mind for the sake of her sister and acts willfully and impulsively, she is still essentially a hero and should not suffer that kind of treatment."

To say that it has become boring is what Roy said to stimulate Tatsumaki. Of course, he also thinks so in his heart.

With Tatsumaki's self-esteem, she definitely doesn't want to be looked down upon by him, but whether she wants to join Shueisha or not is her business, and Roy really won't care about her anymore.

"I kind of understand."

Joan of Arc followed Roy and walked towards the door of the Magic City. She put her hands behind her back and followed Roy step by step, with some understanding and understanding in her expression.

"Understand what?"

"The reason why your personalities haven't merged yet."

Jeanne nodded.

Roy suddenly stopped and looked at Joan of Arc with surprise.

Although Chengzi also said that he could only rely on Jeanne to solve his inner problems, he really didn't expect that Jeanne was already aware of his mental condition less than a day after he was summoned again. ?

"Jena, do you really understand?"

Roy looked at Jeanne with great uncertainty. Is it true?

"Of course it's true."

Joan of Arc curled her lips and smiled, stretched out a finger and tapped Roy's heart. She smiled brightly, but with a strong bitterness.

"But before I talk about this, I still want to say sorry to you."

"Why?"

Roy was confused and looked at Jeanne with a frown.

"Are you going to break the agreement and leave me again? Do you think I will allow this to happen?"

"Of course not, I will really keep my promise this time!"

Seeing Roy's unhappy expression, Jeanne couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, so she gently threw herself into his arms and comforted him.

"However, if you still want me to stay by your side forever after listening to what I say next, then I will never leave you even until the end of the world."

Roy understood and nodded happily. He was very confident in himself and looked like he was listening attentively.

"I said I roughly understood, but I understood not only your character problems, but also another thing, which is why the origin sent me to you."

Joan took a deep breath, and a strong sense of guilt emerged in her expression.

"I understand. The reason why He did this must be to turn me into a shackle to restrain your beastly nature."
