Moonlight Lostroom OVA
Announcement:
Announcement to all Chaldea staff.
Announcement:
The workday ends at 5:00 p.m.
Announcement:
A special arrangement thanks to our Acting Director.
Announcement:
This isn't due to Christmas holiday, but be sure to get a good rest.
Announcement:
Also, the Inspection Committee seems to be delayed, but they will be here once the weather allows it.
Announcement:
Their ETA is tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
Announcement:
We expect all of Chaldea's staff to receive them with modesty and pride.
Announcement:
Our functions are to be handled by the new staff once 2017 ends, but keep doing your job diligently as possible until then.
Duston:
The inspection will begin soon.
Duston:
What about you guys, will you leave for Clock Tower?
Male Chaldea staff:
I'll be going back to London.
Male Chaldea staff:
It's not like I really want to go back, but the situation here isn't any better.
Male Chaldea staff:
This organization has ties to the UN after all.
Female Chaldea staff:
I'd like to stay here.
Female Chaldea staff:
We have high-end equipment, and I've grown fond of this place after protecting it for over a year.
Female Chaldea staff:
And I don't really think the new staff will be able to handle Chaldea that well.
Mash:
Excuse me for a moment.
Mash:
Mr. Duston, can I ask you something.
Duston:
No problem.
Duston:
Is something wrong, miss Kyrielight?
Mash:
I had a transmission from Senpa– from Fujimaru Ritsuka, but I can't find him.
Mash:
And now the communication has been cut off.
Duston:
Fujimaru?
Duston:
Now that you say it, I couldn't see him in the cafeteria.
Male Chaldea staff:
He wasn't in the medical room nor in the simulator either.
Male Chaldea staff:
I locked the entry myself.
Female Chaldea staff:
Then I wasn't seeing things...
Female Chaldea staff:
There's a warehouse behind the Control Room, right?
Female Chaldea staff:
It was a break room before remodeling.
Female Chaldea staff:
If I'm not mistaken, Ritsuka was around there.
Mash:
Thank you for your help. But...
Mash:
Is there something wrong with that warehouse?
Duston:
Nothing, it's just weird to see people around there.
Duston:
The Lost Room is there, after all.
Mash:
Lost Room...?
Duston:
It'll sound like a ghost story.
Duston:
They say people disappear when they enter at midnight.
Duston:
And this isn't an isolated incident, there are many reports about it.
Duston:
Now it's no more than a warehouse, a forgotten relic from the previous Director's era.
Olga:
You want to reorganize humanity based in the caste system?
Olga:
I won't allow a society where my destiny is set in stone from the moment I was born!
Olga:
Go, Berserker!
Fujimaru:
Director!
Olga:
What did you expect?
Olga:
Who do you think I am?
Olga:
I'm Chaldea's Director and owner of the Celestial Body Department in Clock Tower!
Olga:
I'm Olga Marie Animusphere!
Olga:
If we talk about Master potential, you of all people shouldn't be that surprised!
Fujimaru:
Director, above!
Fujimaru:
Look above!
Olga:
Heroic Spirits from the Age of Gods aren't needed anymore.
Olga:
This planet now belongs to humanity.
Olga:
It's too late for gods to claim ownership over it!
Olga:
Archer! Caster!
Olga:
Good grief, at this rate I'll have to take care of everything.
Olga:
Mashu...? Fujimaru...?
Olga:
Where did you go?
Olga:
Perhaps I didn't do well as a Master?
Olga:
Tell me! What does this mean!?
Olga:
Was I asleep...?
Olga:
It feels like I had a weird dream.
Lev:
Can we continue now, Olga?
Olga:
Lev...?
Olga:
Y-Yeah... Go on.
Olga:
What is it?
Mash:
It's about the unknown location observed by CHALDEAS the other day, Director.
Olga:
That was it.
Olga:
It's an alarming situation indeed.
Olga:
At this rate, it will become a Singularity disturbing human history.
Olga:
I wonder if I should report this to the Association and the UN...
Lev:
I believe it's too soon for that.
Lev:
Maybe CHALDEAS isn't working properly.
Lev:
It's been eleven years since it began operations in 2004.
Lev:
How about trying a maintenance?
Olga:
That won't do.
Olga:
CHALDEAS is a pseudo-celestial body copying the Earth's soul.
Olga:
Stopping CHALDEAS is the same as killing it.
Olga:
To begin with, my CHALDEAS lacks any imperfection.
Olga:
If it has a problem, the reason must be an external factor.
Mash:
An external factor...
Mash:
Then, if CHALDEAS isn't at fault, the issue must be in the Observation Lens SHEBA.
Lev:
Oh? It would be my fault if that's the case.
Lev:
It's true that my SHEBA has been working for 10 years.
Lev:
Perhaps its theory isn't up to date.
Olga:
I never said I had complaints towards you, Lev!
Olga:
There's the possibility of the staff in the Control Room overlooking something...
Olga:
...due to the Association harassing them all the time.
Romani:
The staff is completely healthy.
Romani:
If you ask me, the one who should take a day off is you, Director.
Lev:
I agree.
Lev:
You haven't been sleeping properly since we discovered this anomaly one week ago.
Lev:
Let the doctors check your condition.
Mash:
Aside from Leyshift experiment report, the report for the selection of Masters candidates is also finished.
Mash:
So, please use the next twelve hours to rest as much as you can.
Mash:
We don't have a replacemente for you, Director.
Olga:
Alright, I'll take your advice.
Mash:
Speaking of rest, proffesor Lev must be sleeping well.
Mash:
I've heard that going to bed and waking up early it's healthy.
Lev:
That? Because my work was very exhausting before coming to Chaldea.
Lev:
Once I completed SHEBA, I stopped seeing dreams.
Lev:
That's why I can sleep soundly at night now.
Lev:
What about you, Romani?
Romani:
It's the opposite for me.
Romani:
Since I came here, all I see are dreams.
Romani:
But the dreams are always different.
Olga:
The Organization for the Preservation of Human Order, Chaldea.
Olga:
An organization established by my father in order to ensure the future.
Olga:
The Animuspheres are a magi family that have studied the celestial bodies from long ago.
Olga:
The mission of this family, of the Animuspheres, is to establish the thesis of the Grand Order.
Olga:
That is, to guarantee the human history on this planet.
Olga:
We see into the future to ensure that human history will continue beyond the present.
Olga:
We don't aim for something big like "creating the future."
Olga:
Our mission is to guarantee that "there is a future," and pass that onto other magi.
Olga:
For that reason, the Animusphere created this Mystic Code.
Olga:
Pseudo-Celestial Body, CHALDEAS.
Olga:
Assuming the planet had a soul, we copied that soul and put it inside this model of the Earth.
Olga:
But, we can't interfere with this second Earth.
Olga:
That's because its phase it's different.
Olga:
Still, it's possible to analyze it.
Olga:
My father configured CHALDEAS one hundred years into the future.
Olga:
As long as the light of civilization shines in CHALDEAS, we can assure the survival of humanity for the next one hundred years.
Olga:
At the same time, CHALDEAS works as a library of Earth.
Olga:
We can't observe in detail the future one hundred years ahead.
Olga:
Because the future is always changing.
Olga:
However, details of the confirmed past can be extracted.
Olga:
It's a compass pointing towards the past of humanity, so to speak.
Olga:
The success rate of sending someone to the past via Leyshifting after quantum decomposition...
Olga:
...raises dramatically thanks to CHALDEAS.
Olga:
My father founded Chaldea in order to observe and operate CHALDEAS.
Olga:
He was a great researcher and a great magus.
Olga:
That was my father... he left me alone after passing away three years ago.
Olga:
His dead body was found in his office, back in 2012.
Olga:
I don't even know if he had an accidental death or if he had an illness.
Olga:
I was just a little girl who took over Chaldea after his death.
Olga:
My father didn't leave me anything.
Olga:
But I did receive his conviction as a magus of Animusphere.
Olga:
It has been two years since I became Director.
Olga:
And just when I thought I was finally starting to get things done...
Mash:
But, why one hundred years into the future?
Olga:
What do you mean, Mashu?
Mash:
I mean, if the only thing that matters is to see that civilization continues, why not set it to one day or one year after?
Lev:
It's about response time, Mashu.
Lev:
If we set it to one day, there's nothing we can do if the light of civilization disappears.
Lev:
There's no solution.
Lev:
However, if the destruction comes one or ten years later, that's time enough to act.
Lev:
I believe the previous Director set it in one hundred years to give humanity enough time to prepare.
Mash:
I see now.
Mash:
The previous Director thought things through.
Olga:
B-But of course!
Olga:
My father was a very prudent and thoughtful person!
Olga:
He didn't act based on speculations nor wishful thinking.
Lev:
That's true.
Lev:
The Heroic Spirit Summoning System must be there for situations like that, too.
Lev:
If an abnormality emerged in the past, it would be impossible for us in the present to fix it.
Lev:
At least not if you don't go directly to that era to solve it.
Mash:
Even if Leyshift succeeds, you can only send a magus by himself.
Mash:
Once in that location, there's no weapons to rely on.
Mash:
For that reason you need Heroic Spirits, the Servants.
Mash:
Heroic Spirits exist as they're an extension of human history, in spite of how much it can change.
Mash:
By borrowing their power, you can hold your ground in any era.
Romani:
So, that's how it is.
Romani:
Heroic Spirits are spiritual phenomenons of higher order.
Romani:
The Throne of Heroes lies in a dimension above our own.
Romani:
They're beings that transcend time.
Romani:
Just like Chaldea, they're a security mechanism to protect The Human Order.
Romani:
Because, as long as you make a contract with them, they can be summoned into any era.
Olga:
The Heroic Spirit Summoning System isn't stable yet.
Olga:
And first we must secure those Master candidates with high Leyshift aptitude.
Olga:
I must make sure to verify that information...
Lev:
I wish Da Vinci were more cooperative with our cause.
Lev:
Olga, what about giving him...
I mean, her, a workshop?
Olga:
Not yet.
Olga:
I can't trust a Masterless Servant.
Olga:
Besides, I can't deal with that Heroic Spirit.
Olga:
Once we accomplish another summoning,
I'll have her leave immediately.
Romani:
That's harsh.
Romani:
I've heard Da Vinci-chan sees you as her little sister.
Lev:
We should leave Da Vinci in charge of the Heroic Spirit Summoning.
Lev:
So we can focus in the Masters selection.
Lev:
Olga, are you done choosing the A-Team?
Olga:
Yes.
Olga:
"I recommend these seven magi if an emergency arises."
Olga:
Those were the orders my father left.
Olga:
Father ordered to call them Crypters instead of Master candidates.
Mash:
Director...
Mash:
What's this?
Mash:
It doesn't seem like it was made here in Chaldea.
Olga:
That...
Olga:
How weird... it was supposed to be under strict security measures.
Mash:
My apologies.
Mash:
Is this something important?
Olga:
Don't worry, we don't use it anymore.
Olga:
It's one of the presents from the Atlas Institute.
Mash:
The Atlas Institute?
Mash:
The ones who provided the blueprint for the TRISMEGISTUS....
Mash:
...resting at the core of Chaldea? Them?
Olga:
Yes.
Olga:
The place where the definitive weapons of the world of magecraft are stored.
Olga:
The Pit of Taboo... The Atlas Institute.
Olga:
My father had a deal with Atlas, and based on it, they had to provide us with technology.
Olga:
That's how we got the Pseudo-Quantum Processor: TRISMEGISTUS.
Olga:
The other one was that...
Olga:
The Imaginary Numbers Observation System: PAPER MOON.
Lev:
PAPER MOON...
Lev:
A plane moon, perhaps?
Lev:
It's my first time hearing of it.
Lev:
So, what does it do?
Olga:
It's a compass that allows you to demonstrate and observe the Imaginary Numbers realm.
Olga:
It was prepared as a means to exceed CHALDEAS' phase contrast.
Olga:
Although, it isn't need anymore.
Olga:
Because SHEBA was completed and we could accomplish Leyshifting.
Mash:
I'm surprised.
Mash:
There is another way to interfere with Singularities besides Leyshifting?
Olga:
Yes.
Olga:
By diving into the realm of Imaginary Numbers to later resurface in the appointed location.
Olga:
We called it Zero Sail.
Romani:
And the ship that made that possible was the Shadow Border.
Keep the secret.
Lev:
I get it.
Lev:
There was a machine unused thanks to me finishing SHEBA.
Lev:
You got me there.
Lev:
I can't help but feel that I wasn't really needed.
Olga:
Lev...?
Lev:
It's just a thought.
Lev:
Maybe it's a bit sudden, but that's how things are.
Lev:
Let's say it took me by surprise.
Lev:
Olga, I completed the Near-Future Observation Lens SHEBA back in 1999.
Lev:
That's when I accepted Marisbilly's invitation.
Lev:
My destiny was determined at that moment.
Lev:
To save humanity...
Lev:
No, that's wrong.
Lev:
To make this planet a better place.
Lev:
That became the goal of my life.
Lev:
Before and after this incident.
Lev:
The future that humans build is versatile and keeps changing.
Lev:
That's why there's no stability.
Lev:
Humanity's existence is wonderful, but they carry a big burden.
Lev:
Wouldn't it be bad if it collapses like a mountain of pebbles?
Lev:
That's exactly what I want to avoid.
Lev:
I can't do much by myself.
Lev:
But, at least I can stop one of those pebbles before crumbling.
Lev:
What about you?
Lev:
Do you want to be part of that big burden?
Lev:
Do you want to carry that burden?
Lev:
Or maybe you want to keep away those pebbles from your feet.
Olga:
I...
Olga:
I'm none of that.
Olga:
This big duty of preserving the Human Order only brings me anxiety.
Olga:
I don't give a damn about the future and its importance.
Olga:
All I have is this obsession to demonstrate that I'm capable of doing it.
Olga:
Everyday is painful...
Olga:
Everyday, there's no future...
Olga:
What will I do once the end comes...?
Olga:
Is there a way for me to be happy...?
Olga:
I don't know at all what my purpose should be...
Olga:
This is so...
Lev:
Oh, look at the time.
Lev:
Pardon my discourtesy, but I'll be very busy from now on.
Lev:
Are you Olga Marie?
Lev:
My name is Lev Lainur, nice to meet you.
Lev:
Oh? Without shaking hands?
Lev:
It's fine, I like that attitude.
Lev:
It takes time to trust others.
Lev:
What? I dress weird?
Lev:
It looks off?
Lev:
But of course.
Lev:
I'm the only here who dresses old-fashioned.
Lev:
It's my pride as a magus trying to display courtesy towards the history of the Animuspheres.
Lev:
This may be a modern place, but it's also the workshop of the Animuspheres.
Lev:
So, even if it's only me, it's natural to dress like a magus.
Olga:
Okay.
Olga:
Goodbye, Lev Lainur.
Mash:
Good morning.
Mash:
Are you in your break too, Senpai?
Fujimaru:
I see everybody was here.
Mash:
I'll give you something to drink, what would you like?
Fujimaru:
Only tea.
Furjimaru:
Excuse me.
Olga:
It's not like I'm worried, but you look gloomy.
Olga:
Is there something bothering you?
Fujimaru:
It's about my lack of skill.
Olga:
That's obvious.
Olga:
You were picked only to fill in numbers.
Olga:
You aren't a magus nor a soldier.
Olga:
Just an average joe.
Olga:
I'd have never given you the chance to fight if you weren't the last remaining candidate.
Olga:
For you to receive such an important duty as protecting humanity's future is–
Fujimaru:
Even so...
Fujimaru:
I can't keep getting saved by everyone else.
Fujimaru:
First, I must get things done by myself.
Fujimaru:
And I've been working hard for it...
Olga:
You...
Fujimaru:
The more time passes, the more I realise how ordinary I am...
Fujimaru:
It doesn't matter how much I train, or how many spells I learn...
Fujimaru:
From time to time, I ask myself...
Fujimaru:
"Why me? I bet they have someone more qualified."
Fujimaru:
That kind of unpleasant thought.
Olga:
Do you believe it was a mistake to become a Master?
Olga:
You've been doing it reluctantly because there's no one else to do it?
Olga:
Good...
Olga:
I should crush him now...
Fujimaru:
Anyways.
Fujimaru:
Those who don't even try are those who can't accomplish anything.
Fujimaru:
If you can't get out of the situation...
Fujimaru:
At least make yourself stronger.
Fujimaru:
Even as an ordinary person, I'll be useless if I at least don't show off my mediocrity.
Fujimaru:
I'm not someone's substitute.
Fujimaru:
I want to meet everyone's expectations by being myself.
Olga:
I'm disappointed.
Olga:
How can we trust the future of humanity to such weakling?
Olga:
The restoration of Human Order went to your head.
Olga:
Maybe my judgement was wrong.
Mash:
Still, we made it this far thanks to you, Director.
Mash:
We could complete Fuyuki's Order thanks to you.
Mash:
We were able to eliminate the Singularities in France, Rome and Okeanos...
Mash:
...because you were our navigator.
Olga:
I did that with you...?
Olga:
Mashu, what year is this...?
Mash:
It's May 1st, 2016.
Mash:
Director?
Mash:
Are you feeling bad?
Olga:
It's nothing.
Olga:
Thanks, Mashu.
Olga:
I regret not talking with you like this earlier.
Olga:
Fujimaru.
Olga:
Will you keep going in spite of your fear?
Fujimaru:
Well...
Fujimaru:
I'm not discouraged enough as to give up.
Olga:
Is that so?
Olga:
There's nothing else for me to do, but I'll root for you anyways.
Olga:
Even if your future gets replaced by something completely hopeless.
Fujimaru:
By the way...
Fujimaru:
Who was that?
Galahad:
She's nobody.
Galahad:
She's someone who couldn't reach this future.
Galahad:
Give up.
Galahad:
There's no Human Order to protect anymore.
Galahad:
Listen, drifter who came from a faraway future... no, from the correct history.
Galahad:
You can't win.
Galahad:
The human world will be destroyed.
Galahad:
The future has already been decided.
Fujimaru:
I knew of someone who said the same...
Fujimaru:
But, that was just an empty theory.
Fujimaru:
The future will always be a blank sheet as long as there's someone willing to fight!
Fujimaru:
I won't let that happen!
Galahad:
You're right.
Because the future literally became a blank sheet.
Galahad:
Galahad:
It would be better if there were something to incinerate, because at least there would be something.
Galahad:
But, this planet even let go of that residue.
Galahad:
Humanity is at a stalemate.
Galahad:
This is the future one year from now that was decided once you stopped the Incineration of the Human Order.
Galahad:
This is how planet Earth looks.
Galahad:
The King of Magecraft once said...
Galahad:
"You would be happier by not doing anything."
Galahad:
Let me repeat those words again.
Galahad:
Our history shall not continue onto the future.
Fujimaru:
Because... we restored the Human Order...?
Voice of Romani:
Wake up, Fujimaru.
Fujimaru:
Sorry! I overslept!
Fujimaru:
Huh...?
Fujimaru:
I only came to leave my stuff here and I fell asleep...
Fujimaru:
Even though the whole Chaldea staff is very busy cleaning things up...
Mash:
Senpai!
Mash:
I couldn't find you neither in your room nor in the cafeteria...
Mash:
I was a bit worried.
Mash:
Did you go to the warehouse?
Fujimaru:
Yeah.
Fujimaru:
I was sorting out the sheets and tablewares I used until now.
Fujimaru:
It doesn't feel right to just throw them away.
Fujimaru:
Isn't the new staff from the Association arriving soon?
Mash:
Yes. They will arrive by helicopter once the weather allows it.
Mash:
Their ship is anchored on the coast.
Fujimaru:
Really?
Fujimaru:
We went through a lot in one year, but it was worth it.
Fujimaru:
Thank you, Mashu.
Fujimaru:
Thank you for always supporting such a mediocre Master.
Mash:
I... I should be the one saying it!
Mash:
I'm conscious I've been supported many times and far longer than Senpai!
Mash:
The objective of the inspection is obvious.
Mash:
The old Chaldea will be disbanded and the staff will be renewed.
Mash:
I wonder if I'll be able to be in the same department as you...
Mash:
To begin with, will you stay at Chaldea!?
Mash:
If you're going back to Japan, please give me your address!
Mash:
I'd like to send you a New Year's greeting card and the like...!
Fujimaru:
The Inspection Committee will arrive soon...
Fujimaru:
And with that, my unbelievable days at Chaldea will come to an end.
Fujimaru:
I don't know what will happen from now on.
Fujimaru:
It would make me happy to get a job at Chaldea, even if not as a Master.
Fujimaru:
Though, I know that won't be easy.
Fujimaru:
But, it doesn't matter what happens.
Fujimaru:
It doesn't matter how uncertain the future looks.
Fujimaru:
I believe there's nothing to be afraid of.
Fujimaru:
Humans are fundamentally powerless, and things rarely work out well.
Fujimaru:
Usually it's all in vain, and it's normal to just laugh it off saying something like...
Fujimaru:
"Things like that happen, you know."
Fujimaru:
I know... that kind of strength was what helped me in this short yet long journey.
Fujimaru:
For the time being, there must still be things that only I can do.
Fujimaru:
Let's welcome the New Year without doubting that.
