Chapter 184: -181- Then let's form a contract!
It must be said that compared to Jeanne, Marie, and Amadeus, Elizabeth and Kiyohime undoubtedly have quite a few issues.
While Jeanne, Marie, and Amadeus have displayed a highly cooperative attitude so far, Elizabeth and Kiyohime are quite the opposite, taking non-cooperation to the extreme.
Not to mention that the arguing between these two Servants has never stopped. Even though their overly aggressive combat actions have been stopped, their incessant bickering seems to never end. This makes Amadeus burst out in frustration.
"This is simply hell! I can't stand it for another moment! I'm leaving it to you guys!"
Uttering these words, Amadeus turned around to leave on the spot, but was stopped by Marie.
"Don't be like that, Amadeus. Right now, master need our strength. How can you leave on your own when our Master needs us?"
As Mary tried to calm Amadeus down, she also turned towards Elizabeth and Kiyohime.
"Ladies and gentlewomen, could you please listen to what I have to say?"
With a smile directed at Elizabeth and Kiyohime, Marie seemed to radiate a dazzling light, and the smile on her exquisitely beautiful face bloomed like a white lily, exuding an indescribable nobility and amiability.
The nobility and friendliness emanating from Mary left Elizabeth and Kiyohime in awe.
"So... so dazzling!"
Elizabeth seemed as if all her hostility had been drained away as she stared at Mary, mumbling.
"What... what is this, it's just that I'm cuter, it's not a big deal. Yeah, that's right, I'm cuter, isn't that right?"
It seems that Marie's performance dealt a blow to Elizabeth's self-esteem.
And Kiyohime seemed to be in a similar situation.
"...That kind of amiability is simply against the rules. It's impossible for someone like her not to be adored wherever she go."
Kiyohime's expression became somewhat heavy.
It seems that the notion of "being adored" has also dealt a significant blow to Kiyohime. After all, this snake woman in legends was known for chasing after others; otherwise, Elizabeth wouldn't have nicknamed her as a stalker.
As a result, the enmity between these two girls was dissolved in another direction, and they couldn't fight each other anymore.
"That's right, that's how it is. Peace and love are the most important."
Marie, who completely didn't realize that her words had struck a chord, believed that her persuasion had succeeded and had a rather delighted expression.
This made both Mash and Jeanne a bit at a loss for words.
"What can I say? Miss Marie is truly an extraordinary person..."
"That's just how Marie is."
Mash and Jeanne exchanged these opinions with each other and smiled wryly.
"...I never thought that one day I would be saved by Marie."
Even Amadeus let out a sigh.
Under these circumstances, the quarrel finally ended, and everyone returned to the main tent.
"In any case, it's good that we were able to successfully regroup."
Rozen seemed like he didn't want to pursue anything further, opening the discussion with this statement addressed to everyone present.
"Now that we're all here, let's discuss how to deal with the 'Dragon Witch.'"
Rozen's words finally shifted the atmosphere in the room. Especially for Jeanne, Marie, Amadeus, and Mash, their expressions became serious and solemn.
Gilles, on the other hand, who had been looking in Jeanne's direction, seemed rather nonchalant.
Elizabeth and Kiyohime, however, both had reactions.
"What? What? Are you all planning to confront the 'Dragon Witch?'"
Elizabeth showed a strong interest.
"So, everyone gathered here because they wanted to confront the 'Dragon Witch?' No wonder there are so many Servants here."
Kiyohime also seemed to have a sudden realization.
Unlike Jeanne, Mary, and Amadeus, whose intentions were aligned, these two Servants seemed rather uncertain.
Elizabeth doesn't have much connection to France, and she herself isn't a regular hero; rather, she's an anti-hero, someone whose hated actions ultimately saved humanity, her "evil" making "good" unequivocal. While regular heroes might lean towards Rozen due to an inherent sense of justice, anti-heroes might not.
Elizabeth is indeed such a character. Not only does she have no reason to save France, given her legendary image, it's hard to imagine her stepping in to help Chaldea with its Grand Order to restore humanity's foundation.
In fact, according to her legend, the Blood Countess is more likely to stand on the side of the enemies, being against this side, right?
So, it's uncertain whether Elizabeth would become an asset to this cause.
Kiyohime is similar in this regard.
Although this Berserker, who should have gone mad, presents herself with a reasonable demeanor and has maintained her intellect in certain aspects, according to her legend, she isn't the kind of individual with a strong sense of justice.
Moreover, Kiyohime has no connection to France either, making it hard to predict if she'd side with Rozen.
Currently, Elizabeth met with Mash by chance, while Kiyohime happened to be passing by. They both took an immediate dislike to each other, engaging in a heated fight that made people feel uneasy no matter how they looked at it.
Hence, Rozen seemed to be probing them, throwing out a question.
"Let me ask you this, are you planning to join our side?"
Rozen cut straight to the chase.
Originally, Rozen thought that dealing with these two Servants might be difficult.
Who would've thought...
"Hm, I don't mind helping you."
Elizabeth was the first to respond.
However, her expression seemed unusually tense and severe.
The Blood Countess said that.
"But, the enemy I want to deal with is just their Assassin. If you guys don't hand that guy over to me, I'll stab you first."
Elizabeth immediately revealed this idea without any hesitation.
Rozen then remembered.
"That's right, Mash told me that you chose to be on our side because you're at odds with the enemy's Assassin and wanted to help us. Can I ask for the reason?"
"Of course... not!" Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and huffed, "In any case, just hand that guy over to me. You guys just need to cheer for lovely Illy-chan like the audience under the stage. If you do that, I'll temporarily recognize you as my servants, little puppies."
Little puppies, what on earth?
As Rozen thought this, Kiyohime beside her also spoke up.
"Putting aside that narcissistic person over there, my answer is fine."
Kiyohime raised her paper fan, covering her mouth, and looked at Rozen with a shade of emotion that others wouldn't understand, and spoke like that.
"But, that means you, the Master, need me, me! right?"
Kiyohime's tone began to carry a hint of passion.
Rozen noticed this and nodded but felt somewhat puzzled.
"If you put it that way, yes, I do need you..."
your strength.
Before he could finish his sentence, Kiyohime suddenly closed her fan with force and eagerly agreed.
"Then let's form a contract! Master!"
Kiyohime's eager attitude not only surprised Rozen, but also everyone present.
