Ritsuka's party joined up with Conla and advanced while chatting as they searched for Fergus's party.
"So, Conla, you have a really good relationship with Fergus, right?"
"Of course! I even cut his hair when it grew long?"
"Fergus with long hair..."
"Curious about what it looks like?"
Conla performed mysticism and showed an illusion of Fergus with long hair using illusion magecraft.
"Wow..."
[I'd believe it if she were a woman...?]
[Uhyooh!]
[Moenier, be quiet!]
"Certainly, with just a bit longer hair, his impression changes a little... Fergus-san is really..."
"That guy, isn't he actually not human?"
Even to Ibaraki, who had woken up, it seemed like a level where a youkai had transformed. Merlin and Solomon looked at Fergus with relish, and Gilgamesh was somewhat surprised.
"Wow... that's hot."
"Se, senpai...!"
"Ah."
Ritsuka, unable to hold back in front of her daughter, spoke her true feelings. With a trembling heart, she looked at Conla, thinking "oops"...
"Our father is a pretty boy, you know. The ideal type that all women in Erin love? It's no exaggeration to say he's an idol in modern terms."
"Is it okay for a daughter to say that?"
"From the start, Mother and Aunt acknowledge it, so what?"
"What an impressive family."
The family's idol. The nation's idol is our father...! Conla said proudly. Conla was just proud of such a father. A sage king who revived the country, and as a father, a caring and strong father without shortcomings. There was nothing to be ashamed of.
[Um, sorry to interrupt the conversation... but the director's reaction has suddenly moved far away...?]
""Huh?""
But suddenly, Olga Marie's vital signs were moving incredibly far away. Romani showed a map via communication, and it had flown all the way to Paris, the complete opposite direction from where Ritsuka's party was, almost arrived.
"... Hmm, Paris. Perhaps Father went sightseeing to show something fun to the new aunts?"
"No, that can't be..."
"If it's Father, it's possible."
Since it was the biological daughter's word, no one could refute it. Merlin, who was watching the present time, nodded...
"Fou!"
"Ugh!"
Fou, irritated that Merlin was watching without saying anything, kicked her face.
[... Then, shall we go look for Hinako-chan instead?]
"Where is she?"
[At the beach...]
"Doctor."
[Sorry...]
Asking to go look for her at the southernmost beach in the Marseille region was a very over-the-top request from Ritsuka's perspective.
"... Ibaraki-chan. Don't you have a means of transportation?"
"No."
"We're doomed..."
Ritsuka's party felt overwhelmed at the thought of searching for the distant party... then, a glass carriage approached them.
Meanwhile, Jeanne Alter at Orleans Castle.
"Now, let's go again!"
"Are we going to get defeated again..."
"No, that man doesn't matter. First, erasing all of France... Even that man can't protect what's been destroyed. The city farthest from that man... we go to Paris! This time, we'll burn Paris, so everyone follow."
Vlad III showed a skeptical look about the sortie, but since she's the Master, he follows.
"That man isn't there..."
"What a pity..."
"What are you pitying!"
When Camilla and d'Eon expressed pity, she shouted angrily, and this time, she takes other members too.
"Spartacus, and Atalanta. This time, you're coming too, so follow well."
"Leave it to me."
"Understood."
Jeanne Alter, filled with simmering anger, headed for Paris.
At the outskirts of Paris... arriving at a place a bit away from Fergus's party... no one was there.
"What, why is no one here?"
"Perhaps they have already evacuated..."
"Tch, let's burn it all first!"
Vlad III inferred that they had already evacuated, and Jeanne Alter set buildings on fire while wyverns breathed fire.
"Everyone, search for survivors."
"Hey, I haven't washed yet since coming out... since we're here, can't I wash?"
"Haa? ... I forgot too."
At Camilla's words, Jeanne Alter remembered that she had forgotten to wash after the fight with Fergus due to frustration.
"No choice. Everyone search for survivors... I'll wash a bit. There's a bathhouse here."
"Then I'll do separately. A blood bath."
"As you wish..."
With Jeanne Alter's permission, Camilla immediately went to another empty house for a blood bath.
"You, come with me."
"Back and forth... it's good to work after washing."
Jeanne Alter headed to an empty bathhouse with Atalanta, the only female among the remaining members. She didn't take d'Eon because d'Eon's gender is ambiguous and can change at will, which was unsettling.
Thus, the incident was gradually approaching. The reason why no one was in Paris... only Fergus's party knew.
"I thought it was strange that no one was here... that makes sense."
Meanwhile, Fergus's party arrived in Paris at a similar time as Jeanne Alter's party. Since everyone was hungry, Fergus suggested that since they came to France, they should go to the most famous Paris and try local cuisine, and immediately rode Nero's dragon to arrive in Paris.
But, there was no one there. No, the entire Paris was completely empty.
Thinking it was odd, the martial artist seriously searched... and found the reason at the south-west square of Paris.
There was a modern performance hall that shouldn't exist in this era, and on stage, a girl was holding a microphone and singing (?), and another girl was collapsed foaming at the mouth.
"To think we'd meet like this here... Bathory."
On stage was Elizabeth Bathory.
Bathory, who had met Fergus in Rome as well, of course Rome and France are different time periods, so they are the same person but Bathory manifested as a separate Servant from Rome.
"The lyrics seem fine... but she really can't sing. If it's a love song with genuine feeling, it would be amazing."
"Hmm, not bad... I want to compete with singing too."
"Please endure, Nero."
"Haa... if I listened more, my eardrums would have burst."
A sonic weapon-level terror of a song that even the dragon god Artoria found painful. Fergus immediately used runes to create earplugs that blocked only her song and put them on Olga Marie, Illya, Artoria, and Jeanne.
"First, let's stop the song..."
"I want to listen more though?"
"I've trained my eardrums, so it's fine... but it's a bit hard to listen. Please stop her. We'll look for other people... even with present sight, searching house by house is insufficient..."
"Hmm, understood."
Entrusting the task of stopping Bathory to Nero, who was fine without earplugs, Fergus's party scattered to search for people who might have collapsed without evacuating. Among them, the fastest Fergus and Artoria moved far, leaving Olga Marie to Illya, and Jeanne also searched for people separately.
"Seeing that the food hasn't been touched, they fled immediately."
Searching even homes, Fergus felt sorry seeing prepared but cold meals. First, he searched places with many people, including homes... and discovered a notable public bathhouse.
"Let's check it out first."
There were separate men's and women's baths, but Fergus decided to check both. Since no one was on the streets, he was sure that if anyone was here, they would be unconscious, and entered.
"The sound doesn't reach here, but if it's enough to make the whole area empty, they must have wandered around calling... no, why does the performance hall have wheels..."
First, checking the men's bath, no one was there, and then Fergus checked the women's bath... water sounds were heard from inside.
"A person? Or, an enemy?"
First, on guard, he entered inside...
"What, Camilla? I just finished washing, so wait a bit──"
"Ah..."
In the women's bath, Jeanne Alter was slowly coming out.
"....."
Jeanne Alter, too surprised to even make a sound.
Fergus was also flustered... but in the midst of it, he saw her body.
"... You're really identical to Jeanne."
"────!!!"
"Huh? What is it, Master?"
And then, Atalanta, who had finished washing and came out, came to check... and made eye contact with Fergus.
"Y, you are from that Holy Grail War──!"
Atalanta, startled upon seeing Fergus. The moment she took a step back, she slipped on soap and fell.
".............."
It was truly a complete mess.
One was frozen, unable to say anything, covering her important parts with her hands, and the other was fallen forward, panicking.
"It was a compression bandage... her chest is more than I thought..."
"G, get out!!!"
"Ah, yes."
Then, Atalanta threw the soap she had slipped on. Fergus, even though an enemy, first went outside...
"... I almost got erect."
He desperately made nonsense to prevent blood from pooling in his lower body as force entered. Having seen Jeanne Alter's naked body, identical to his wife's, and Atalanta's naked body... as a man, it was hard to endure.
"What is it? Crouching down..."
"... Sorry. I almost got erect from seeing other women..."
"... Who is it. The shameless bitch who seduced Fergus."
"No, honestly, it's my fault but..."
"Anyway, from the moment they seduced you, it's death penalty. Yes, cases like me or Nero where there was no interest at first and the relationship developed are fine... but I decline bitches who seduce with their bodies like prostitutes."
"No no, this isn't that kind of case, so calm down──"
"Kyaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
"... What is it?"
"No, a delayed scream, so to speak..."
Inside, Jeanne Alter's scream finally echoed. Fergus desperately calmed the angry Artoria... and bought them time to dress, so to speak.
""....""
Soon, the two women came out... and the two parties faced each other, said nothing, pretended not to see each other, and left.
"I should pierce her womb with the Holy Spear..."
"Artoria... that's too harsh."
Artoria still couldn't contain her anger...
Growl...!
"... Let's eat first."
'I survived...'
For the first time, Fergus was grateful for Artoria's appetite and headed towards the other party members.
"He saw us, naked...?"
"Yeah..."
"What a shameful event..."
Jeanne Alter and Atalanta only confided in Camilla, the same gender, about the incident...
"I'm jealous..."
""What's there to be jealous of!?""
Camilla, who has fallen for Fergus, envied the two, and at the same time, pitied them for just returning like that.
