"Eh?!"
Both Jeannes exclaimed simultaneously.
And the one with the biggest reaction was naturally the younger sister Jeanne.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Jeanne asked, her blue eyes wide with disbelief.
"What do you mean by 'marry again'?"
Having already anticipated Jeanne's reaction, Ian held her hand even tighter.
"It's exactly what it sounds like——"
"Jeanne." Ian looked at her with gentle eyes.
"That wedding before... was far too simple."
"I... hope you can have a better one." Ian said softly, his blue eyes filled with affection.
"Brother..." Hearing these words, Jeanne's eyes slightly welled up with tears, and a warm current surged through her heart.
She realized that her brother hadn't forgotten everything from the past, but had instead firmly kept it in his mind.
So that means——!
Her position in his heart shouldn't be low, right?
At least... it should be at the same level as the other her!
Completely different from Jeanne's secret joy.
Although Black Jeanne was also very surprised by what Ian had just said, what she cared about was completely different from what Jeanne had noticed.
Wearing light clothing, she moved her body forward a little, almost touching the man's face.
"Are we really going to marry again?!" Black Jeanne asked, her red eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"..." Realizing that Black Jeanne's understanding of "marriage" was different from ordinary people, Ian thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes... you can wear that wedding dress again." Ian said gently, his blue eyes looking at her with affection.
"What!" Hearing this, Black Jeanne's eyes immediately brightened a few degrees.
"That beautiful dress... can I really wear it again?!" Black Jeanne exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.
Jeanne suddenly became anxious.
"Wait a minute!"
"Wedding dress? When did this happen?!" Jeanne asked, her blue eyes looking at Black Jeanne with confusion.
"..." Black Jeanne revealed a smug smile.
She originally liked to show off, and seeing the other herself looking so anxious naturally made her feel even more amused.
"I told you that you definitely haven't gotten married yet!" Black Jeanne said, her red eyes sparkling with mischief.
While saying this, the Dragon Witch walked towards the closet in the room.
Then, she pulled out an extremely beautiful wedding dress from inside—it was something that Gilles de Rais had prepared for her during the previous "wedding."
"Look——!" Black Jeanne held up the dress proudly.
"I wore this when I married darling!"
"What?!" The confidence that Jeanne had just managed to build up was completely shattered in an instant.
How could she compare to that?!
She even had a wedding dress... back then, she had married him in front of the king without even changing her clothes.
What Jeanne didn't know was that her overly obvious change in expression had already been seen by Ian.
He directly explained at this moment,
"Jeanne." Ian looked at her with gentle eyes.
"This is also why I want to marry you again."
"I——"
"Really want to see you wearing this wedding dress." Ian said softly, his blue eyes filled with anticipation.
"Eh?" Ian's words pulled Jeanne back from the brink of despair once again.
"Brother... do you want to see me wearing this wedding dress?" Jeanne asked, her blue eyes wide with surprise.
"Yeah." The man smiled slightly and nodded.
"I think it will definitely be very beautiful." Ian said softly, his blue eyes filled with affection.
Hearing these words, Jeanne's face flushed red instantly.
"So that's what brother thinks?" Jeanne murmured, her cheeks burning.
"I understand!"
"However——" Jeanne looked shyly at the wedding dress in Black Jeanne's hand, her expression a little envious and a little worried.
"That's her wedding dress, right? I... can't wear hers, can I?" Jeanne asked, her blue eyes filled with uncertainty.
"I know." Ian gently stroked Jeanne's head. "So we'll ask Gilles to make another set."
"He will definitely be willing." Ian said with a reassuring smile.
"I see..." Jeanne revealed a happy smile. "That's really great~"
And so—
Ian resolved the "conflict" between the two Jeannes in a clever way.
No.
It should be said that there was no conflict from the beginning.
Everything was just a misunderstanding.
Now, it had finally received the correction it deserved.
Late night.
Ian, having decided on the wedding plan to repair the Singularity and having received everyone's support, sat on the bed.
Beside him were his two "younger sisters"—Black Jeanne didn't resist this title, and even liked it a little.
"Brother." Jeanne said carefully.
"After the wedding tomorrow... you'll be leaving here, right?" Jeanne asked softly, her blue eyes filled with sadness.
"..." Ian remained silent for a moment, and finally confirmed this cruel reality.
"Yeah, I have to go." Ian said, his voice heavy with regret.
"Otherwise——"
"The future of humanity can't be repaired."
"I see..." Although she was very reluctant to part with her brother, Jeanne still nodded.
"That's right."
"If humanity has no future... then everything will be meaningless." Jeanne said softly, her blue eyes looking at him with understanding.
"What's that got to do with me!" Black Jeanne muttered loudly, "I'm not in the future!"
"Why do I have to hand over the Holy Grail to you and then let you go back?!" Black Jeanne exclaimed, her red eyes flashing with annoyance.
"Can't you just stay here forever?!" Black Jeanne pleaded, her voice filled with longing.
"..." Seeming to have long anticipated that Black Jeanne would say such things, Ian hugged his two younger sisters and said softly.
"Of course, I also want to stay by your side forever." Ian said gently, his blue eyes looking at both of them with affection.
"But if I did that——"
"Wouldn't that go against the purpose of me coming here?" Ian asked softly, his blue eyes filled with regret.
"In that case, our meeting will be cursed... I don't want such a thing to happen." Ian said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Besides——"
"I believe we will definitely meet again at some point in the future." Ian said with a reassuring smile.
"..." Black Jeanne remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, as if making a concession.
"You said it yourself." Black Jeanne looked at him with her red eyes.
"If I don't meet you again in the future... I will curse you forever!" Black Jeanne declared, her voice firm.
Seeming to want to increase the persuasiveness of her words, Black Jeanne shouted at Jeanne on the other side.
"Hey! The other 'me', you think so too, right!" Black Jeanne asked, her red eyes looking at Jeanne with expectation.
"That's not true." Jeanne shook her head gently.
"I... will never curse brother." Jeanne said softly, her blue eyes filled with sincerity.
"Even if he doesn't love me anymore, there must be his reasons."
"So no matter when, I am willing to bless him." Jeanne concluded, her voice filled with understanding.
"..." Black Jeanne fell silent.
She felt a certain gap between herself and Jeanne, but didn't know how to bridge it.
The increasingly embarrassed witch could only shout like she was throwing a tantrum.
"Forget it, I don't care about that anymore!" Black Jeanne exclaimed, her red eyes flashing with annoyance.
"Since you're leaving tomorrow——" Black Jeanne looked up at Ian beside her, her golden eyes revealing an undisguised glint of desire.
"It's okay to have as much fun as we want tonight, right?" Black Jeanne asked, her red eyes looking at him with anticipation.
Although she was a Saint, Jeanne wasn't so naive that she couldn't understand such straightforward words.
"Are you planning to do that kind of thing now?!" Jeanne asked, her blue eyes wide with surprise.
"Duh!" Black Jeanne glared at Jeanne.
"This is something we do every day, and in this situation today, we definitely can't stop!" Black Jeanne declared, her red eyes flashing with determination.
"Eh——!" Feeling that she had discovered another incredible secret, Jeanne quickly sought confirmation from Ian.
"Brother, is this true?" Jeanne asked, her blue eyes looking at him with disbelief.
"...Yeah." Ian didn't deny it. "Because looking at her feels like being with you, so..."
"Of course." The man looked at Black Jeanne on the other side, a hint of doting affection in his eyes.
"You two are actually very different." Ian said gently, his blue eyes looking at both of them with affection.
"But... this is enough to remind me of the past." Ian said softly, his blue eyes filled with nostalgia.
"..." Hearing these words, Jeanne's throat moved slightly.
She grabbed the corner of her brother's clothes.
"Then now... brother doesn't need to reminisce in this way anymore." Jeanne said softly, her blue eyes filled with longing.
"I'm right here, aren't I?"
"Go away!" Black Jeanne shouted, "He's married to me!"
"But he's also my brother!"
Seeing that the two Jeannes were about to quarrel over such a thing, Ian immediately exerted his initiative as the older brother.
"Don't fight." The man hugged them tightly on both sides and then gently kissed their foreheads.
"Tonight... no one is getting away." Ian said softly, his blue eyes filled with affection.
A few minutes later, a few more pieces of clothing were added to the bedside.
The girls' cheerful voices echoed in the room.
It was a long-lost complete relaxation, and also a symbol of all contradictions melting away.
"Sister, it's my turn, right!"
"What's the rush, sister, wait a little longer! I've only had two times!"
"Brother! Look at her!"
"It's okay, Jeanne, sit on brother's lap."
"Eh... mmm?!"
Dawn.
Looking at the two puffball sisters sleeping in a kneeling beside the bed, Ian's mood improved a lot.
This should be considered fulfilling his promise, right?
Just at this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
The man walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"Senpai, it's me!" Mash's voice came from outside.
"..." Ian thought for a moment and then directly opened the door.
And upon seeing the man's appearance and the "miserable state" of the two Jeannes inside the room, Mash immediately realized what had happened.
Originally intending to remind Ian about the wedding, she lowered her head and said with a flushed face,
"I'm sorry... I didn't know Senpai was doing this kind of thing! I'll come back later!" Mash said, her face bright red.
The pink-haired girl was just about to leave when Ian grabbed her hand.
"Mash, I actually need your help right now." Ian said softly, his blue eyes looking at her with affection.
"..." This wasn't the first time she had heard the man say these words, so Mash naturally understood what he meant.
"...Understood." The pink-haired girl slowly knelt on the ground and began to gently clean up for Ian.
She actually liked doing this kind of thing very much—because it gave her a feeling of being needed by the other party.
And what she didn't know was that the man had long understood this.
Of course.
Ian wasn't just trying to make Mash stay.
While enjoying her service, he used the device that could communicate with Chaldea.
Soon, Olga Marie's voice came from inside.
"Mash?!"
"It's me, Director." Mash replied softly.
"Eh?" Olga Marie's voice sounded a little surprised.
"Ian, aren't you..."
"It's troublesome to explain." Ian cut to the chase. "In short, the Holy Grail of this Singularity has been found."
"We——"
"Will probably be returning to Chaldea very soon."
"Really?!" Olga Marie became excited. "Then I'll go prepare the quantum teleportation right now!"
"No, Director, not right now."
"There are still some things that haven't been finished."
"Wait until I contact you later, and then proceed with the teleportation."
"And——" Ian glanced at the two "younger sisters" who were still fast asleep.
"I want to ask you a question."
"What question?" Olga Marie responded.
"It's just... if the Singularity is repaired, will the things that happened during this time also disappear?" Ian asked, his blue eyes filled with concern.
"..." Hearing this question, Olga Marie thought for a long time before continuing,
"Theoretically, that's indeed the case, after all, history has returned to its original state."
"But——"
"There might also be exceptions."
"What does that mean?" Ian pressed.
"Hmm... let me put it this way," Olga Marie explained.
"One plus three can equal four, and two plus two can also equal four."
"The repair of the Singularity... ultimately only achieves the result of equaling four, and many of the details within it are entirely possible to change."
"To put it extremely, it can even be broken down into values as small as 0.01 or even smaller."
"As long as this result isn't affected, there's a possibility of it being preserved."
"Maybe... it also has something to do with the wishes of the person involved."
"By the way, why are you asking this——?"
"It's nothing." Ian quickly ended the topic. "Director, I'll contact you later."
"Okay~"
The contact ended, and Mash's cleaning work was also finished.
She wiped the corner of her mouth and said softly to Ian,
"Senpai... everything is cleaned up." Mash said softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Yeah." Ian gently stroked Mash's head. "Thank you for your hard work."
"Next——"
"Let me retrieve the Holy Grail... and put an end to all of this." Ian said, his blue eyes filled with determination.
Several hours later, inside the chapel of the Demon King's Castle.
The two Jeannes, dressed in wedding dresses, held Ian's hand on either side.
Although their lower abdomens were filled with his semen, similar yet different, they became even happier because of this warmth.
Under the watchful eyes of Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, the three arrived before Gilles de Rais, who was temporarily acting as the witness.
The tall man was already extremely excited—being able to witness two Jeannes marry the hero who saved France was clearly a great honor.
He said in a trembling voice,
"This gentleman, are you willing to take these two Miss Jeannes as your wives?"
"I do." Ian answered without hesitation.
"Then, Miss Jeannes, are you willing to marry him together?"
"I do." The two Jeannes said in unison.
"This is a perfect wedding!"
"May the Lord bless you!" Gilles de Rais said the final blessing.
The next moment, the two Jeannes tiptoed and left a kiss on Ian's face on either side.
And Ian also lowered his head and gently kissed their lips in response.
It was a touch that was similar yet different.
But undoubtedly, either way, they were genuine Jeannes.
Mash's face flushed red—she imagined the scene of herself kissing Ian.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face also flushed red—it was the first time she had seen Ian kiss.
Mordred's face flushed red as well—she realized that she didn't seem to be so resistant to her father's girlfriends anymore.
Many thoughts intertwined in this church.
As if responding to this emotion, a light slowly enveloped the church.
The Holy Grail of the Dragon Witch appeared before everyone once again.
The Singularity, at this moment, reached its end.
