"As a salaryman, it's perfectly reasonable to have a hand in one's spatial pouch."
Thinking back, at the time, he only remembered handing over Ea, but Gilgamesh's wrist was still sitting in the pouch along with it.
Fortunately, the relative time inside and outside the spatial pouch was almost zero, so there wouldn't be any issues.
Besides, it was just a Servant's wrist, a magical construct formed by the Third Magic. As long as the magical energy didn't dissipate, it could be preserved for a long time.
He remembered something about Shirou equipping Archer's arm and then projecting Nine Lives to instantly defeat Berserker.
But honestly, looking closely, this wrist had skin like ice and jade-like bones, delicate as young shoots, smooth, tender, and seemingly so fragile a breath could break it.
Jean was beginning to understand, just a little, the feelings of that gentleman (pervert) salaryman.
However, Jean ultimately dismissed all these perverted thoughts. She found some cloth, wrapped the wrist, and tucked it away in a corner. After all, it wasn't suitable to keep at home. She planned to find an opportunity to dispose of it later.

Next, the group arrived at the restaurant. It was only now that Rin and the others truly felt the disparity between worlds.
Moreover, for people from the 2000s, this cyber city was even more shocking than it was for an ancient person like Medea.
The food that followed was as delicious as ever. After chatting a bit with Erina to build rapport, everyone began to enjoy the feast.
The happiness pursued by humans is both difficult and simple. For example, at this moment, eating delicious food together and chatting happily made Jean feel a taste of happiness in his heart.
And a delicious feast as hospitality wasn't just about that one aspect. Back when Shiraori first invited her, the satisfaction from her taste buds made Jean clearly realize that her apprehension about this unknown world had decreased, and his anticipation had increased.
That's why, when FrostNova came, and when Rin and the others arrived, Jean had hosted them all at this restaurant.
She hoped this would help dispel some of the unease in their hearts about the unknown world.

"Ah, I'm full, so full." Just returned home and rubbing her belly, Rin said with complete satisfaction.
In fact, this young lady often skipped breakfast to lose weight, so eating this much in one go was extremely rare.
The others didn't say anything either, as they had also eaten much more than usual.
"Alright, alright, everyone should get to bed early. I need to go out tomorrow morning, and then I should be able to make plans for our future direction."
After bidding everyone goodnight, Jean returned to his room with FrostNova.
It was only then that Rin made the startling discovery: they actually shared a room.
'Well, of course, given their relationship...' She tried to convince herself in her mind, but she couldn't help feeling intensely bothered by it.
As for Jean, holding his wife again, he naturally couldn't do nothing. Meanwhile, FrostNova's eyes were filled with affection, looking utterly adorable and enticing.
What happened next goes without saying. After a few days apart, the two of them actually became even more uninhibited.
But this space had always been Jean's alone, and even after FrostNova arrived, it was still just the two of them sharing one room.
It wasn't until Jean's perception picked up on a twin-tailed little head sneaking around outside the door, with a hand moving below, that Jean remembered he had forgotten to soundproof the room.
"Ah, this..."
"What's wrong?" FrostNova asked.
Jean hesitated. Should he pull Rin in? He understood Rin's feelings all too well. Originally, his Synesthesia only allowed him to see the colors of emotions, but after observing Rin daily, he could now see little pink hearts.
"No, it's nothing." But Jean decided to pretend he didn't know. Being too abrupt, even if FrostNova and Rin could eventually accept it, would leave a rift.
And the first time should have a stronger sense of ceremony.
However, Jean didn't stop. They continued until late into the night...

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Jean arrived at 'D's place via the portal.
Surprisingly, despite the piles of documents stacked like mountains on and under the desk, 'D' sat calmly in the middle, waiting for Jean's arrival with a bright smile.
But before Jean could speak, BB in the system started acting up like a violated little girl.
Of course, she had indeed experienced such treatment before.
'D' naturally noticed this too, so she waved her hand. A mute function appeared in Jean's interface. After pressing it, he could only see BB performing a mime show over there.
On his end, Jean used his mental energy to pat BB's head, trying to comfort her as if soothing a hamster, while turning his gaze to 'D'.
"I'm here. Is something the matter?"
"I'm in no hurry here. Let's deal with your matters first. You came to see me about something too, right?" 'D' said with a smile.
"Yes. I hope to borrow the device I used before for FrostNova, Rin, and the others. Also, regarding the appraisal of the characteristics of my new seven deadly sins."
"OK, OK. The device matter isn't urgent. Let's appraise the characteristics now. But you've probably already guessed most of it, haven't you?"
Jean nodded, then walked over and let 'D' place her hand on his head. Soon, a system message popped up.
[Characteristic seven deadly sins · Pride: Greatly enhanced attachment of energy's will. Willpower confrontation will not fail.]
Jean had already guessed this effect, so he didn't show any obvious reaction. However, 'D's expression suddenly changed.
Then, speaking seriously to Jean, she said, "Jean, I will speak to Shiraori about this. Now, swear to me that you will not reveal this characteristic or its details under any circumstances."
Looking at 'D's demeanor, although puzzled, Jean still swore seriously, "I swear, I will not reveal this characteristic or its details under any circumstances."
Instantly, Jean felt as if bound by something, yet it also seemed like nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, 'D' resumed her usual expression, smiling cheerfully at Jean and saying:
"I heard you want to establish an organization, right?" Not mentioning the previous matter, she brought up another topic.
"Yes, that's right. But I'm not quite sure what I should do."
"Don't worry, don't worry. There's a perfect opportunity here for you to experience what it's like to manage an organization, and it can solve your other problems along the way."
Then, meeting Jean's puzzled gaze, 'D' revealed her plan:
"Congratulations. Starting today, you are the Acting Lord of the Underworld!"
