Lost Narrative Poetry

After quietly paying at the counter, Leticia quickly walked out of the Western restaurant without looking back.

She stood on the street and looked around, feeling the warm sunshine shining directly on her body, dispelling the chill of winter.

Probably because of the previous riots, this neighborhood seems to have suddenly become a little deserted. Many pedestrians and vehicles would rather avoid this street than pass directly by here.

Although it is almost noon and the sun is shining brightly, if you only look at this street, it seems that Fuyuki City is like a city that has not yet woken up. It is empty, and even the people on the road seem sparse. Sparse, there is a feeling of loneliness and loneliness in the winter air.

"...Do you need to go over there and take a look?"

Leticia stared at the protective scene where the cordon was set up at the end of the street. After hesitating for a moment, she still asked Joan of Arc in her mind, hoping to get instructions on the next step.

Although not long ago, she was frightened by the sudden commotion outside while sitting in the restaurant, but the French girl also felt that the vampire who was shot dead in the street was an obvious entry point. If she wanted to investigate, Maybe we should start from this matter...

"No need, I won't be able to find anything now. On the contrary, it may attract attention, and the gain outweighs the loss."

In Laetitia's consciousness, Joan of Arc's voice sounded, but she made the completely opposite decision.

Not to mention that a cordon has been set up at the scene over there, and the corpse of the vampire has been taken away. What can be seen from the past? Besides, if something like this happened, if it hadn't happened, it would have aroused the secret observation of unknown numbers of rats, who were watching over there from a distance.

If he rushes over now, there will only be disadvantages but no benefits. If things go wrong, he will only be exposed... Besides, Joan of Arc doesn't think that the vampire will be able to pull out any clues.

After all, the current undercurrent in Fuyuki City is turbulent. I don’t know how many Servants have come and are brutally beaten. And a guy like this who was shot to death by the police on the street on the first day he entered Fuyuki City is obviously a kid. A shrimp-like character.

Whether it is really because of my own recklessness or being tricked by others, whether it is used to test something or used as bait to attract targets, anyway, it is just a chess piece in the hands of others, or even an abandoned piece. Either it is of no value, and investigating the past is a waste of time; or it is a trap, and investigating the past is just being led step by step into murderous intent.

"Then what should we do next?" Leticia didn't think so much, but since the Saint said it was not necessary, she would not go.

She turned her head and looked around, but all she saw were unfamiliar scenery. She suddenly realized more deeply that she was actually in a foreign land, and she was immediately troubled.

"..."

"..."

"Let me think about it... By the way, Leticia, please leave here first. Standing here all the time will easily arouse suspicion."

Joan of Arc thought for a while and gave a less clear instruction because she also lacked intelligence at the moment.

As a referee, although she can sense the aura of Servants within a certain range, the current problem is that it is not just Servants. There are too many potential threats dormant in the city of Fuyuki, and there are more heretics and aliens coming. Keep pouring in.

Leticia thought for a moment, then turned and walked to the other side of the street.

What followed seemed to be a journey of silence and quietness. After a while, Joan of Arc didn't say anything out loud. It seemed that she still hadn't figured out what to do next and had no plan.

At this time, Leticia, who had always cared about something, thought about it, and then couldn't help but cautiously asked in her heart: "How about... let's find a job first? What if we want to work in Fuyuki next? If we continue to stay in the city for a while, we can’t do it without money, but our money is not enough now..."

Not to mention the problem of food, even a place to live will become a problem. If she doesn't find a solution as soon as possible, Leticia will not be willing to sleep on the street on a winter night.

It will really freeze to death!

"Get a job? This..." Joan of Arc also had a headache.

Originally, if she had been frugal, Leticia's money would have been able to sustain her for a while, but just now, she secretly paid for that terrible vampire princess and basically spent the last money in one go. …

This is really dumbfounding.

However, there is also Joan of Arc's own reason for this. It is precisely because she judged that Letitia knew nothing and acted more naturally, so that her disguise would not be seen through and cause any danger, so it was true from beginning to end. Nothing was said.

The French girl naturally took it for granted that the black vampire was actually an ordinary girl, but she had misjudged the situation and was neurotic.

So after noticing the vampire queen's embarrassment, the kind-hearted Leticia patiently accompanied her in the restaurant and waited for a while. She found that the other's housekeeper never seemed to come back, so she quietly helped her. The other party paid and then left the restaurant.

In this regard, Joan of Arc, who had watched the whole process, naturally had nothing to say. And regardless of the results, she also admires Laetitia's behavior and thoughts.

"If it really doesn't work, this is the only thing we can do. We really need to find a job to support ourselves first, and then we can make long-term plans..." Jeanne said helplessly, agreeing.

If she was controlling her body now, she would definitely be holding her forehead.

This French saint, who is also famous in history, has vaguely felt that something is not right. She was called out of the outside world by the restraint force. She came here to solve the hidden danger of a major disaster that may endanger the entire world! Why is the current style of painting obviously distorted and turned into "Let's work!" She looks like the protagonist of a drama like "The Holy Lady".

But this world is so realistic and not gentle at all.

Even the brave man who shoulders the important task of defeating the devil and saving mankind still has to pay for shopping, and there is no free lunch.

"Eh heh heh? Do you really, really want to find a job?" The girl was slightly startled?

Although the suggestion was made by Laetitia herself, it was just a joke in nature, and she had no idea that it would be approved by the saint.

"Yes, didn't you just say that?"

Joan of Arc was obviously a little surprised by her reaction.

"That's what I said, but... no, I mean..." The French female high school student's expression was a little subtle, "I actually thought Joan of Arc that you would use magic to solve this problem..."

"..."

"..."

"...I don't know how to do alchemy."

Joan of Arc said helplessly in her consciousness that not only was she not an alchemist, she was not even a magician during her lifetime. She was just a French village girl who accidentally heard the sigh of God, nothing more.

This time he appeared in the world as a Ruler. Naturally, he was not given any magic abilities. He only had knowledge about magic. Therefore, apart from working honestly, she really had no way to solve the problem of how to get money.

Of course, even if she really mastered the ability to control the mind and hypnotize humans, it is absolutely impossible for the saint to use it for such things.

"Okay, then let's... hmm?"

Leticia, who was thinking in her mind and communicating with Jeanne through her mind, suddenly felt her arm being pulled.

She turned around subconsciously, and was immediately startled, because behind her, there was a black-haired girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old with a temperament as elegant and noble as a princess. She didn't know when she had followed behind her and was calming down. He looked up at himself.

Next to the black-haired girl was the big white-haired dog.

"Little, little sister, it's you...what's the matter?"

Laetitia's expression was a little stiff, and she subconsciously took a step back because the giant wolf dog was really too big. Even though it acted very lazy and gentle and didn't even bark, she still felt... An unspeakable fear.

It was okay before they were at a distance in the restaurant, but now when they were face to face, she realized that she was so afraid of this large dog. At this moment, she felt that her scalp was numb.

In fact, this French female high school student doesn’t know that this is not the reason why she is afraid of large dogs, but because the big dog is actually a primate killer. As the devil dog of Eltrucci, its essence is The monsters of Gaia are agents born from the planet to suppress mankind.

In front of this big dog, all humans will be killed by it unconditionally... This is the reason why Leticia feels so heartbroken, even if the White Beast has restrained all its power and aura, it is not targeting her at all. .

"Little sister..."

Eltruqi frowned slightly, she had never been called that before. However, seeing that the other party had no ill intentions and was simply unaware of it, she didn't care much about it.

She noticed Leticia's stiff body and became more convinced that the other person was an ordinary human girl, so she reached out and gently stroked the head of the big white dog next to her. The latter seemed to rub the black-haired girl's arm knowingly. , and then retreated a distance.

The French high school girl suddenly felt relieved, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

Eltruqi waited patiently for her to relax a little before she said calmly: "Thank you for helping me out..."

"Eh? Little sister, you know..." The blond girl reacted, waving her hands and shaking her head: "Actually, it's nothing, I just happened to meet him, so I helped..."

"I will never forget everyone who has helped me, so I will repay you." The black-haired girl calmly interrupted the female high school student's words and said calmly.

"Eh? There's no need for this. I really don't need it..."

Leticia continued to shake her head and wave her hands faster and more frequently. She had never thought about asking the other party to repay her for such a thing. Although it seems that this girl is neither rich nor noble, she does not help the other party with a speculative mentality at all.

"I see you are not Japanese, why are you here in Fuyuki City?"

Heiji didn't care about the other party's rejection and continued to ask lightly, directly controlling the rhythm of the conversation.

It was obvious that one party was a female high school student of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other party was just a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, but it was the latter who dominated the entire conversation. Leticia herself didn't think there was anything wrong. She believed that a girl from a noble family should have such qualities.

"I...I'm from France. I ran away secretly this time, mainly for...ah haha, for some personal reasons."

The female high school student subconsciously answered Kuroji's question. Fortunately, she finally reacted in time and could only change her words abruptly. Her eyes wandered and she looked away in embarrassment.

"Really? Then I probably understand...where are you going next?" Erteluqi nodded lightly and did not dwell on the question any more. She could see that this girl's answers were completely meaningless. , I am afraid that he really ran away from home secretly and ran away for some childish and stupid reason.

However, His Highness Ji Jun did not intend to express any opinions on these matters, nor was he interested in them, so he did not get to the bottom of it.

It can only be said that everything was such a coincidence, because Leticia didn't know anything, and coupled with her poor acting skills and her unintentional performance, Eltrucci had no suspicion at all.

"I...I'm going to find a job next."

Leticia was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she said in a low voice: "Because I have run out of money. Even if I want to go back now, I can't afford a plane ticket..."

"..."

"..."

Your Highness Ji Jun didn't know what to say. She felt that a large part of the factors were her own, but because of this, she couldn't ignore the human girl in front of her.

The black-haired girl was silent for a moment and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "It's better not to go to work. Next, you can act with me."

"Huh?"

"Didn't you pay for me before? I will return the money to you after my butler comes back. Before that, please don't run around..." Erteluqi calmly gave a reasonable answer. reasons.

"It's really no need..."

"I don't want to say it a second time." Hei Ji frowned and interrupted the blond girl's words coldly. Seeing the other person's frightened appearance, she paused again and said in a slower tone: "Then like this Come on, you just want to find a job anyway, don’t you? Just think of me as hiring you..."

She has always been indifferent towards human beings, neither saying she particularly dislikes them nor saying she likes them very much.

But since the girl in front of her helped her out of kindness, Eltrucci would definitely repay her, so she couldn't let Leticia leave under any circumstances.

Because this city is too dangerous, this is still the first day, and I don’t know how many other monsters and monsters will rush in after that. At that time, even local residents would be in danger, let alone outsiders like Leticia, who were definitely the best targets.

Eltrucci didn't want to see this girl killed, so she decided to protect her.

Leticia was confused and persuaded by Kuroji, and she followed the black-haired girl in confusion, still not understanding what was going on. But inside her body, Joan of Arc, who had been watching the whole process, had already understood.

"It seems that my judgment is correct..."

The French saint felt relieved. This vampire queen didn't seem to be the kind of person who was completely unreasonable. This was a blessing in disguise for Leticia.

That's fine. If you follow such a character, you may be able to come into contact with useful clues faster.

Because of the apocalypse, Joan of Arc could vaguely feel that it seemed that the entire Fuyuki City had become the site of a huge magic ritual. Especially the fact that the low-level vampire from before was actually shot to death by the Fuyuki City police in the street, which further proved that something was wrong with this city.

If she was alone, there would be no hope of solving this matter.

…

…

"Hoho-"

There were angry roars and the alley was in chaos.

A crater was sunken into the ground, and a pool of human-shaped objects whose bodies were almost smashed to pieces were embedded in the crater. They twitched from time to time, and let out weak wails of pain, sounding as if they were about to die at any moment.

Standing in front of the crater was a tall giant figure. The silver-haired Lolita sat on the giant's shoulders, looking down at the unlucky guy who found the wrong target in the crater, and frowned in confusion:

"Why are there vampires in Fuyuki City...and can't they be hurt by attacks? Berserker, are you mistaken?"

The demigod berserker also seemed a little confused. He squatted down gently, stretched out his giant palm like a cattail leaf and grabbed the vampire's head, as if he wanted to verify something, and then... with a pop, the whole big good thing His head was crushed directly by him.

The vampires were killed directly, and they could no longer die.

"So you are here..."

At this time, a voice came from behind.

"...!!" The ferocious-muscular Greek hero turned around with a stern look in his eyes.

A figure wearing tight-fitting blue armor and holding a three-foot red spear appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Come on, before anyone reports it and the police haven't come yet, let's have a showdown!"
