"Jeanne, let's sign a contract."
"but didn't I already sign a contract with Ritsuka?"
"this contract is different, if you sign this one, when this over you won't return to the throne of heroes, because this contract will bind you with my soul."
"is that even possible, will the human collective consciousness allow it and what will happen to myself in the throne of heroes."
I started to explain that her soul will be bind with mine, the soul in the throne of heroes will be transferred and move into my own soul, making her basically immortal unless someone crush my soul, of course it also prevent Alaya from summoning her without her permission since it will change the position from a direct subordinate of Alaya, this is similar to the familiar system of the eastern magic or summoning magic of the west.
I then create a contract using the 3rd true magic as a medium since the contract need to have a connection with my soul and Jeanne soul itself, I then connected both of our soul and allowing her to enter the center of my soul.
after arriving there she saw a small tree in the center of verdant plain filled with grass and other tree, what separate the small tree against each other is this tree have a trunk that look as if made of light particle and the leaf on it's branch is of different color, one is dark with tattoo marking, one is a purple color, while the other is a crystal green that can be seen through.
"Alex, is this your soul, why does it feel like this is a small world."
"this happen after I tried to absorb everything inside the greater grail, it trigger an evolution on my soul, making it to expand and even have the capabilities to become a world."
"then what is this tree?"
"this tree represent me."
"so what happen to our body right now?, didn't you say your body will went on berserk if you leave it behind."
"don't worry, my soul is still in my body, only your soul travel here, the one here is my real soul."
after that I showed her around the and tell her how to project a soul from here by using the tree as the terminal.
***
Jeanne then used the tree as a beacon where she can connect herself back with her body in the singularity.
"welcome back Jeanne, how is it to visit my soul?"
"it was a surprise to see you have a world as a soul."
"well it is normal after all it was the result of absorbing a huge amount of 3rd true magic, it was made to turn every living human into an immortal being, but I just absorb it without any thought."
"as long you are safe that's fine."
after a little bit of discussion we both decide to sleep.
***
few hours later both Ritsuka and Mash woke up.
"senpai good morning, how was your sleep?"
"Mash good morning too, it was good."
"Senpai how the situation, yesterday Sensei asked you about your resolve."
"hmm, after thinking about it, I understand where Alex came from, if I am not prepare and always relies on him then if he is not there it will be dangerous."
"so Mash I decide to try my hardest without thinking about asking any help from Alex, so please help me."
"ok Senpai please leave it to me."
while both of them are talking they also tidy up the room and after they finished, they went out to the first floor, they see there's a group of golem that are preparing food and preparing the table for them.
seeing that the two of them arrive the golem started to guide them to their seat and started to bring out food one after another, seeing this Ritsuka and Mash decide to eat first, since they both want to start their journey as fast as they can, not long after they started eating, Alex and Jeanne came down from the room.
"yo, the two of you are very early."
"so Ritsuka what is your answer?"
"I want to rely on my self from now on Alex, thank you for training me from the begining."
"well, finally the young bird started to spread her wing and fly from the nest."
"what are you?, my dad?"
hearing this I started to laugh.
"well, you can't blame me the both of you were trained by me and I take care your diet and health, am i different from a parent."
"I don't want a parent who can suddenly disappear."
after the breakfast Ritsuka plan to go out of town and bring Jeanne and Mash to search for other servant.
they intend to search for other servant by doing a search on different city and village where potential servant can be recruited.
"so are you going to rely on Chaldea system to detect the servants?"
"yes, after all it was thanks to Alex we can use it, of course you can't say it is cheating since you only provide with the material and not the repair."
"ok then, I won't quibble about that matter, since you guys are leaving this city I will stay here and guard this place, you can only come back here after the mission is finish or if I come to you on my own, of course I will follow behind with my miniature golem so I can see what's happening."
"deal, just look forward to it Alex, Mash, Jeanne, and I will show that we can deal with the singularity without you."
hearing this I only smiled and nodded at her.
