"Now that things have settled down, I'd like to introduce myself again. My true name is Marie Antoinette. I'm from the Rider Class. As for who I am, I'd be happy if you could examine me closely with your eyes and ears. As for why I was summoned, unfortunately I have no idea. After all, I have no Master."

"Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I'm the same as her. As for why I was summoned, first of all it just doesn't feel like I'm a hero. Yes I'm great, but even so I'm still just one of many artists... Well I did apply magecraft in my music, but that was only because I was drawn to the sounds played by demons."

That was something Shuri did not quite expect to hear once they made to this forest. According to Dr. Roman, there was a leyline here as well. Perfect for mana users.

"I'm Mash Kyrielight. I'm a Demi-Servant and I don't know what my true name is. This is Leon. My Master."

"Sup."

"I'm Shuri."

"Rose."

"Pleasure is mine. As fellow non-fighters, let's get along." Amadeus said in greeting.

"Very much are fighters." Shuri corrected him, before referring to the Saint. "And she's-"

"Jeanne D'Arc. The Saint who saved France. One of the people I wished to meet in my life." Marie Antoinette finished.

'Wish granted.' Shuri thought.

"...I'm not a saint." Jeanne said bashfully.

"Yes, everyone knows that's how you saw yourself." Marie said dismissively. "But the way you lead your life was true, and we all know the results. That's why everyone will always remember and admire the name Jeanne d'Arc, and the miracle of Orleans."

Jeanne's shifting in discomfort told Shuri her contracted servant did not like the accolades she was getting. Shuri herself agreed with Marie's assessment, but she supposed she would get a bit anxious if she was placed on a pedestal like that.

"Of course, your life ended and the stake and resulted in that witch. It's just like Marie to look at the bright side. Am I wrong Jeanne d'Arc? Your life was a little out of tune. Jeanne herself is the one who gets hurt when people call her a perfect saint." Amadeus deduced. "Listen Marie. You always say what you think others want to hear. Sometimes you need to scold or deny others."

"I-I don't need to hear that from you Amadeus! You already tell me that every day!" Marie replied in fluster. "T-This is what you want right? You piano brain! Piece of human garbage! You're a pervert who can only get it up for musical scales! If you like music so much, you should turn into a piano."

If that was supposed to be Marie Antoinette trash talking, Shuri was not exactly impressed.

"I don't know if I should say this, but when you insult me, I feel something indescribable."

Okay, maybe Marie was on to something with perversion.

"But see? You can do it if you try!" Amadeus finished.

"In other words, treat Jeanne like anyone else." Shuri surmised.

"Yes. Thank you Shuri." Jeanne confirmed.

"Very well. Then you can call me Marie. Oh wait!" Marie's eyes fell on to Shuri's father. "My apologies sir. Our little chat cut you off from introductions."

"It's no trouble. I'm (F/n) of House Emiya. Shuri and Leon are my children, and Rose is the daughter of my close friends." Dad said. "We're also Devils."

"Devils?!" Marie squeaked in surprise.

"Yes. Let me explain."
