"A comeback? Do we still have a chance?" Fiore quietly asked.
"
Of course we do. With me here, we will definitely be the victors of this Holy Grail War!" Shirou answered decisively. "We are not without a chance of victory; on the contrary, our chances are very high!" "Now, we just need to wait for the final moment to arrive."

After the small meeting among the few, Shirou led Jeanne to arrange a room for her.
"How is it? Do you like the environment here?"
"Please don't worry about me. I have no demands regarding external conditions like accommodation."
Jeanne didn't care for the luxurious furnishings of the Yggdmillennia family. After all, this French village girl had never experienced such a lavish life even in her past life.
"Is that so? What about the food?"
"Food?" Jeanne looked at Shirou in confusion at his question. A moment later, Shirou and Jeanne sat at the dining table in the hall. Through the dark night outside the window, the two ate a luxurious and delicious meal.
"Delicious!" Jeanne couldn't help but let out a moan as she put a piece of cut beef into her mouth with her fork. She had never eaten such delicious food. After coming to the present world and tasting the food of this era, she had thought she had arrived in heaven. After all, in her past life, even at her wealthiest, she had never eaten food comparable to modern street food. But now, the steak made by Shirou's own hands completely captivated her.
It was simply too delicious!
"How is it? Do you like it?" Shirou rested his face on one hand, propped on the table, and asked with a smile.
"I love it, it's so delicious, Shirou!"
"As long as you like it!" Shirou also had some research into Western cuisine. After all, Japan was highly westernized. Western trends were also very popular there. So, Shirou also knew some basic Western cooking techniques, like steak.
Watching Jeanne wolf down her food, Shirou's eyes and
lips were filled with a smile. After all, as a chef, Jeanne's current performance was undoubtedly a huge bonus.
"Shirou, why is your cooking so good!"
"Of course, it's from practice!"
"But this is too delicious!" Looking at Shirou's admiring gaze, Jeanne, who was continuously eating, slowly lowered her head. She dared not meet Shirou's eyes directly.
The moonlight from outside the window shone on the two of them. In the beautiful moonlight, Shirou quietly admired Jeanne eating. The night was enchanting. Jeanne was exceptionally beautiful tonight. Shirou thought so. On the other side, influenced by this atmosphere, Jeanne's head was already bowed to her chest; she simply dared not lift her flushed face. That night, Jeanne, lying in the guest room of the Yggdmillennia family, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
