Halloween Comeback! Super Ghouls'n Pumpkins - The Seed of Adventure

Prelude

A：Elisabeth:
—We've finally made it here, me.
Are you ready for this?

A：Elisabeth:
Also, is my makeup on right?

B：Elisabeth:
...Of course, me. We'll defeat the witch and take back Castle Csejte!

B：Elisabeth:
And of course my makeup's perfect! It's me we're talking about!

A：Elisabeth:
Yup! By the way... Why are there two of us?

B：Elisabeth:
Well, it doesn't really matter,

B：Elisabeth:
If you ask me, by splitting into two, our idol coefficient's gone up several thousand times.

B：Elisabeth:
Even my idol frenemy got a bride costume so...

B：Elisabeth:
That's right! If there are two of her, there should be two of me!

A：Elisabeth:
Exactly! Smart thinking, me! And now, the most important thing, without a doubt, is...

A：Elisabeth:
...my new performance...

A：Elisabeth:
“Heartbreak★Castle Csejte Heaven and Hell Dual Concert - Sweet Bloody Halloween Special: What The... It's So Sweet!”

A：Elisabeth:
...is about to begin!

A：Elisabeth:
Ticket sales are projected to completely sell out!
I had to reserve some tickets for Chaldea!

A：Elisabeth:
As such, I can't let the schedule get messed up, now, can I?

B：Elisabeth:
...Which is why I need to take back the castle, me!

A：Elisabeth:
Okay, let's go!
Ready, set, go!

Both:
Excuse me!

???:
Who's making all that noise? It's the middle of the night! Why can't you be quiet?

???:
...Hmm. Why, if it isn't two ugly little girls!

???:
Oooh... You little shrimp aren't very fashionable at all. What a sin it is to be like you!

???:
And I am disgusted. Disgusted!
You cling to the glories of the past...

???:
You're so focused on something that you fail to see the bigger picture!

???:
Yet I will accept that my glory must have blinded you.
So sorry!

A：Elisabeth:
Huh? Oh, uh, no. But thank you.

???:
Humph! Don't get the wrong idea. It's not like I was trying to be considerate or anything when I said that!

???:
Now get back to your dank little caves, you scrawny lizards!

???:
Because, as you're quite well aware, staying out late is very bad for the skin!

A：Elisabeth:
Tch... She gives off such a powerful aura just by standing there...! Her idol coefficient is really high like always!

B：Elisabeth:
Jeez! I understand why I would shake in the presence of a powerful enemy, but for now, just concentrate!

A：Elisabeth:
I-I know that!
Now get ready, witch!

???:
You make me laugh! I've never gotten myself ready for anything! Because—

???:
Because my heart is free as a feather!
I have no worries about anything!

A：Elisabeth:
Ugh... this self-confidence and boastful attitude...
She reminds me of someone...!

A：Elisabeth:
She's like a woman I see every single morning... when I'm checking myself in the mirror...!

???:
And, obviously, the word “witch” is inappropriate for me.

???:
“Witch” in this region refers not to an embodiment of beauty such as me, but rather to that Halloween girl next to you, right?

B：Elisabeth:
This is just a stage outfit based on the concept of a witch! I'm the mistress of this castle!

???:
Hahaha!
Hahahahahahaha!

???:
You may not look that great, but you've got a real sense of humor! It's tasteless, low-class, and ridiculous!

Both:
WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

???:
Hahaha. If you're telling me that the job of a castle mistress entails wearing a ridiculous outfit like that, even I can't help but laugh.

???:
Actually, I'm tired from laughing so much.
I'm going to bed.

???:
I'm the owner of this castle now. Naturally, I am also assuming direct control of these lands as well.

???:
Being a ruler is much too difficult for tryhard lizards like the two of you! Now be good little commoners and quietly take your leave!

???:
Hahaha! But I don't know if freeloading nobles like you can handle the life of a commoner!

A：Elisabeth:
What...!?

B：Elisabeth:
What did you say!?

???:
Don't scream at me.
It's like listening to surround sound.

A：Elisabeth:
Shut up!
You took my Castle Csejte without asking!

A：Elisabeth:
You're not even from the right culture anyway!

A：Elisabeth:
You don't match Castle Csejte at all!

???:
...? Are you so excited that you haven't even bothered to look outside?

???:
Hahaha. It's too late.
Behold the snake that foretells the end!

Both:
Huh?

Both:
Something weird's sticking out!?

???:
Oh, you're back! Good evening!
You do know I'm actually really busy?

A：Elisabeth:
What is that!?
Why is my castle a pyramid!?

A：Elisabeth:
Actually, why is the pyramid upside down!?

B：Elisabeth:
The castle's all smooshed! All you did was stack it on top! Talk about cutting corners!

???:
Hahaha, you've got me there, little lizards!
But I'll tell you one thing:

???:
This is remodeling!

???:
Farewell to that nasty, disgusting prison castle!
What this era wants is simplicity!

???:
The golden ratio is the basis of beauty in this world! That's right! Just like me! Exactly like me!

B：Elisabeth:
No, it looks really out of place. I mean, this is Europe... Besides, how is that “remodeling”!?

???:
Avant-garde!
Hakone! Art park! Museum!

???:
Anyway, this castle is under my control!
But I understand beauty. I'm not a monster.

???:
If you insist on holding a concert, out of respect for the former owners, I will offer you a place.

???:
Yes... I know exactly where!
How about that stable?

???:
That's rock n' roll style right there! You can jam in the same kind of place that holy man was born in!

???:
Hahaha! It's fine, it's fine. No need to thank me with words! Just bow down before me in gratitude!

Both:
Hell no!!

???:
Humph. So negotiations failed, huh?
...How disappointing.

???:
I guess I have no choice then.
Behold my power!

???:
...Is what I'd like to say, but fighting directly isn't elegant. It's bad for my skin, too.

???:
So I'll leave that to my stand-in.
Fierce, ugly knight of steel, come forth!

Tristan:
Tristan the Tragic has arrived.

A：Elisabeth:
What...?

Lancelot:
As has Lancelot the Sorrowful.

B：Elisabeth:
No way...!

???:
Now then, I have to get back to my book.
Finish them by the time I'm done, you losers!

???:
Of course, if you fail, you're banished. I have no use for men whose only redeeming quality is their beauty.

Tristan:
How sad... You're underestimating our power, aren't you?

Lancelot:
I agree with Tristan. We'll have this finished before you can read the next sentence.

Lancelot:
Now then. It's time for you to go.

A：Elisabeth:
H-Hey, time out!

A：Elisabeth:
We're here to fight with that nasty woman over there!

???:
A truly good mistress has talented retainers.
Heh... I'm so perfect.

???:
Oh, I'll give you one last bit of advice.

???:
Remember this face, for it is my consolation to you.

???:
After all, they say seeing beautiful things makes you more beautiful, right?

B：Elisabeth:
Why, you...!
Let's do this, me!

A：Elisabeth:
Wah!?

B：Elisabeth:
Funyah!?

Tristan:
Now go. We weren't told to take your lives.

Lancelot:
You cannot beat us, let alone our mistress.

Lancelot:
You need to grow at least 10 years older, cute little girls.

B：Elisabeth:
Waah! We lost to a couple of literal homewreckers!

A：Elisabeth:
W-We'll get you for this!
You COUGAR LOVER!

A：Elisabeth:
We'll be back! Real soon!

Lancelot:
Hahaha. I look forward to it.
Now let's go, Lord Tristan.

Tristan:
...Homewreckers...

Lancelot:
(He's genuinely shocked that she called him that!)

B：Elisabeth:
(Panting)
W-We made it out okay, somehow, but...

A：Elisabeth:
What do we do, me!?
We can't hold our concert at this rate...

B：Elisabeth:
I hate to say it, but we can't handle this on our own.

A：Elisabeth:
...Uncle Vlad is away on business...

A：Elisabeth:
And Tamamo Cat said, “Woof! I'm leaving on a journey for paws unknown!” and quit her job.

A：Elisabeth:
By the way, do you think she was lying about why she quit? Were we tricked?

B：Elisabeth:
It doesn't matter.
No, I mean, it does matter, but...

A：Elisabeth:
Waah! If only my [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet] were here!

B：Elisabeth:
No sense in complaining about what we can't have.

B：Elisabeth:
Ugh! I'm so pathetic, relying on others and whatnot!

A：Elisabeth:
Humph. S-So what, me!?
Do you have any good ideas?

B：Elisabeth:
N-No, but...

A：Elisabeth:
Then stop complaining!

B：Elisabeth:
Wh-What!? You don't have any ideas either, do you?

B：Elisabeth:
You're stupid, so just shut up!

A：Elisabeth:
Argh!
You're me, so you're stupid too!

B：Elisabeth:
I'm a Caster, which makes me one rank higher than you in intelligence!

A：Elisabeth:
There is no such stat!

A：Elisabeth:
...And you know what? I'm not sure it's a good idea for Caster me to be one rank lower in MP either!

B：Elisabeth:
Gah! You know that's a sore spot for me!

A：Elisabeth:
What, you wanna fight!?

B：Elisabeth:
＆＄＃〓％＆∧§’（＆（％＆））!!!

A：Elisabeth:
”）※＄〓〓＊｀％”～’＄’％＃!!!

A：Elisabeth:
Huh?

B：Elisabeth:
Huh? What's this light?

A：Elisabeth:
Huh? Huh? What!?

Both:
((Wait! What happened!?))

Both:
...

Both:
WHAT IS THIS!?

Section 1: "The Power of Friendship"

Dr. Roman:
Okay, let's start the briefing!

Mash:
Doctor, you seem more excited than usual.
Did something good happen?

Dr. Roman:
...

Dr. Roman:
...Anyway, let's start the briefing!

---

Fujimaru 1:
What's the matter, Roman?

Dr. Roman:
What? Aren't I always like this?
Haha, or maybe it's because I've been staying up late lately.

Mash:
Doctor, sorry I haven't been able to help you out even though we're in such a tense situation.

---

Fujimaru 2:
...That's suspicious...

Dr. Roman:
Oh, what's wrong, Fujimaru?
You're looking at me strange.

Dr. Roman:
Hahaha, maybe you're tired? Still, this is all to save the world, so I want you to do your best!

Fou:
Fou...

Mash:
Now Fou's looking at the doctor suspiciously.

Mash:
...Is there something you're hiding from us?

Mash:
Actually, why is the staff surrounding us right now?

Dr. Roman:
...Well, a minor Singularity has been detected, see...

Dr. Roman:
Obviously we can't just leave it there.
I would like you to investigate and correct it.

---

Fujimaru 1:
...So like what we always do?

Mash:
Y-Yes. Master and I are all ready to go.

Mash:
Now I don't think anything will hinder this mission, but...

---

Fujimaru 2:
Are you hiding something?

Dr. Roman:
...

Dr. Roman:
...All right. In any event, please enter the Coffins!
Get ready to Rayshift!

Mash:
Doctor!?

Dr. Roman:
The briefing's over, so you need to head over there now!

Mash:
Wait, Doctor! You still haven't told us where we're Rayshifting to!

Dr. Roman:
...Oh, someone dropped some documents here.
This won't do at all.

Dr. Roman:
Um, your Rayshift destination...
Um, how do you read this again? Uh... I think it was...

Dr. Roman:
Castle Csejte.

Dr. Roman:
Yeah that's it! Got it?
Time to head out!

Fou:
Fou!?

Mash:
Doctor! Did you just mention that one castle name we can never just let slide!?

---

Fujimaru 1:
...The nightmare returns...

Mash:
Oh that's right! It's almost Halloween!

Mash:
It was supposed to be a cordial gathering, but last year's Death Concert is still haunting us!

Mash:
Senpai, it's too dangerous! That music will destroy your psyche if you continuously listen to it!

---

Fujimaru 2:
All right, Mash! Dismissed!

Mash:
Right!

Mash:
I have only a bad feeling about this, so I'm going to take a voluntary leave of absence!

Dr. Roman:
That's not going to work! All staff, scrum!

Dr. Roman:
Once we save the world, I'll personally review your current salary!

Dr. Roman:
It's time to show them the muscle you've gained from training with Leonidas!

Mash:
Th-That's not fair, Doctor!

Fou:
Fouuu!

Dr. Roman:
Let's do it! Crouch! Bind! Set!

Dr. Roman:
Force them in!

C：Chaldea Staff:

Yeah!

Mash:
Eep!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Why you...! We'll come and haunt you!

Dr. Roman:
Fine! When you do, I'll welcome you with some pumpkin dishes!

---

Fujimaru 2:
So the Doctor is the final boss!?

Dr. Roman:
Hey! Don't go starting rumors about me!

Dr. Roman:
In any event, head out!

Dr. Roman:
Go, uh, keep Elisabeth company again this year!

Dr. Roman:
...Meaning, just go to her concert, okay? Nothing makes an idol like her sadder than an empty venue! And you shouldn't make idols cry!

Dr. Roman:
Here, I'll even give you some of my glow sticks!
Now then, commence forced Rayshift!

Mash:
...

---

Fujimaru 1:
We're here...

Mash:
Yes, the Rayshift succeeded.
Looks like Fou is here too.

Fou:
Fou...

---

Fujimaru 2:
Now I'm depressed...

Mash:
Yes...

Mash:
I didn't think we would come here again...

Mash:
...Communications seem fine.
Doctor, the Rayshift succeeded.

Mash:
However, we won't let this slide.

Dr. Roman:
I kind of hope that you will... Anyway, how are things looking over there?

Mash:
It looks like...a graveyard.

Mash:
We can get back at the doctor later.
Let's keep moving for now.

Mash:
...Huh?

Mash:
Sorry, Master.

Mash:
If I remember correctly, last year when we came here, there were ghosts all over the forest.

Mash:
We're in a graveyard, but I don't see any ghosts.
I wonder what's going on.

Dr. Roman:
Hmm. I'm getting a reaction of some kind.
It's very close to you.

Fou:
Fou!

Mash:
Hmm... Bugs.

Mash:
Completely unrelated to Halloween, but a nuisance nonetheless.

Mash:
Let's take them out!

--BATTLE--

Mash:
Phew. The battle is over. Everything has been annihilated, so it should safe.

Mash:
Shall we head into town, Master? Although I'm pretty sure Servants are going to show up and get in our way...

---

Fujimaru 1:
So our reward is box seats at the concert...

Mash:
Master, don't be discouraged.

Mash:
It'll be fine. I'll be with you!
We are one as Master and Servant!

---

Fujimaru 2:
This sucks.

Mash:
Up until now you were so optimistic about everything!

Mash:
It'll be fine. When we get back... Yes, when we get back we'll have Amadeus play us some music!

Mash:
We can request some really soothing music to listen to...

Mash:
Looks like you're remotivated to continue the mission. Thank goodness...

Mash:
Now, let's head towards town!

Fou:
Fou...?

Mash:
Fou, what's wrong?
...Could it be...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Don't look behind you.

Mash:
Th-That's right! What you don't see can't hurt you.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Run!

Mash:
W-We're just going to start running!?
Wait, Master! Master!

???:
Achoo!

???:
...Heh. It looks like my stealth Rayshifting worked. Hehehe... Be afraid! Be very afraid!

???:
Achoo!

???:
...It's so cold. I didn't know the mountains in the West were this cold... That's a problem... I guess I'm dressed a bit too light...?

Section 2: "Hero Elly Gathers Allies"

Mash:
...That's strange.
The town doesn't feel like Halloween at all.

Mash:
...Still, it doesn't seem like it was attacked or anything either.

Mash:
And all the house lights are on, but I don't see any townspeople walking around...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Actually, Mash...

Mash:
Yes? ...Hmm? Up in the sky?

Mash:
Um... What!?

---

Fujimaru 2:
The castle...!

Mash:
Huh? What is it, Master?
What about the castle?

Mash:
Umm...

Mash:
Castle Csejte...! What a mess!

Mash:
And on top there's a pyramid...and it's upside down!!

Mash:
It's just sitting there, Senpai!
Like, boom!

Fou:
Fou...!?

Dr. Roman:
I checked it out. The pyramid and the castle are from different epochs.

Dr. Roman:
The former is obviously older. And the fact that it's crushing the castle like that means...

---

Fujimaru 1:
It's not her?

Dr. Roman:
Right. I've never heard of her having anything to do with pyramids.

---

Fujimaru 2:
So no concert!?

Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru, you sound way too excited. Anyway, that pyramid must be the source of the Singularity.

Mash:
What should we do, Master?
Head up there?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Let's gather intel first.

Mash:
Yes, but it might be difficult to ask the townsfolk for information...

Mash:
...Hmm? A tavern, you say? ...I see.

Mash:
Neither of us can have alcohol, but let's go.

---

Fujimaru 2:
We should head for a tavern.

Mash:
I see...

Mash:
People let their guard down when there's alcohol around. They're more likely to talk... even with newcomers like us.

Mash:
All right! Let's go!

Mata Hari:
Welcome♪

Mash:
...Umm.

Mata Hari:
My my, such young customers.
Welcome to Mata Hari's tavern!

Mata Hari:
Your one-stop shop for bittersweet meetings and farewells!

Mata Hari:
Are you seeking traveling companions?

Mash:
C-Companions?
No, we're fine.

Mata Hari:
Oh, is that so.

Mata Hari:
Then perhaps that cute [♂ guy /♀ girl] with you came to find some other kind of companionship?

Mata Hari:
I wouldn't mind spending the night with you, you know...

Mash:
No, we're fine!
Right, Senpai!? Right!?

---

Fujimaru 1:
R-Right.

Mata Hari:
That's too bad.

Mash:
Actually, we'd like to ask about that pyramid...

Mata Hari:
Oh yes, the pyramid.
It fell from the sky one day. It really was sudden.

Mata Hari:
Inside it you'll find a queen and the loyal knights who serve her.

Mata Hari:
They banned Halloween.
Can you believe it?

Mash:
Banned... Halloween!?

Mata Hari:
There was a notice from the queen.

Mata Hari:
“If you object to the way I rule, if you're a reckless savage that dreams of getting rich fast, come and challenge this pyramid.”

Mata Hari:
...So she has declared.

Mata Hari:
And so this town is searching for heroes to do just that–to take on Pyramid Csejte.

Warrior:
I'll do it! I'm going to get rich off the pyramid's treasure!

Knight:
Leave the defending to me, you guys!

Monk:
We need a mage! I'm a priest that only knows how to heal using mundane means!

Thief:
Heh, leave any doors and chests to me!

Mash:
So many people from so many different lands... I see.
No wonder it's so lively.

???:
...

Sign:
“Please take me home!”

Mash:
...

Mash:
...Master?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Act like you don't... notice...

---

Fujimaru 2:
We're going to leave nice and quiet.

???:
(Starry eyed)

Mash:
Master, it's too late.
She's noticed us. She's positively glowing!

???:
[♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]! Hey there! Heeeeeey!

Mash:
L-Let's make a run for it, Master!

???:
Wait! Hey, waaaaaiiit!

Mash:
She's chasing after us!
Also, I think I just saw a familiar face!

Mash:
Maybe that was just my imagination!
But we don't have time for that!

???:
Waaaaaiiiiit!

Mash:
Master! Master!

Mash:
It was basic survival instinct that made us flee, but maybe we should at least listen to what she has to say!?

Dr. Roman:
Y-Yeah! It's bound to be one of the causes of this Singularity, after all!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Sorry, I just couldn't help it...!

Mash:
Last year's Halloween must be a great source of trauma for you, Master...

---

Fujimaru 2:
Mash is right, but...!

Mash:
No, I get it. Our feet just started moving of their own accord!

???:
You made me fall over! That hurt!
Don't leave me behiiiiiiind!

Mash:
Master... I hear crying... from behind us...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Goodbye, eardrums...

---

Fujimaru 2:
Hello, Halloween...

Mash:
Okay... Let's head back.

Fou:
Fou! Fou, fou!

???:
What do you want? I have a broken heart, you know...
Oh, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]!

???:
Oh, come on! So you did hear me!

???:
I'm not happy about this at all!

???:
You made me so worried!
You should be punished!

Mash:
...Is that you, Elisabeth...?

???:
Have you forgotten!?

???:
It's me, the celebrated diva, praised as a talent that only comes once every thousand years, an unbridled genius!

Elisabeth:
Elisabeth the Crimson Hero!

Fou:
Fou-bah!?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Where's Lancerbeth and Casteli?

Elisabeth:
Why the nicknames!?

Elisabeth:
...They're not around anymore.
They're alive in my heart.

Elisabeth:
To be more specific, we fused together.

Fou:
Fou...

Mash:
Fou seems to be shocked at how far removed from a Servant she's become.

---

Fujimaru 2:
A swimsuit? At this time of year?

Mash:
That's right. The swimsuit event is over, Elisabeth.

Elisabeth:
What? Wait, you had a swimsuit event without me!? Where was my invite!?

Elisabeth:
That's not fair! That's not fair at all!

Mash:
...Well, let's forget about that for now.

Elisabeth:
Let's not!

Elisabeth:
I want to know precisely why no one called me!

Mash:
I see. So dual Elisabeths were driven out of Castle Csejte by this queen.

Elisabeth:
Yeah, exactly.
Now do you understand?

Elisabeth:
The LanCas duo couldn't finish what they started.
So now there's something I must do... For their sake.

Mash:
In other words, once more–

Elisabeth:
That's right!

Elisabeth:
That cursed pyramid has destroyed my concert hall!

Elisabeth:
I'm going to take it out and overthrow the queen within! That is the mission of the Crimson Hero Elisabeth!

---

Fujimaru 1:
So that's what's going to happen this time...

Mash:
Yes. I see. That's why there are tons of adventurers in the tavern.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Crimson Hero...

Fou:
Fou.

Mash:
Fou's trying to say something, but it's best not to translate it.

???:
There she is! Surround her!

Mash:
...!

Dr. Roman:
Oh? What's going on?
This is...

Mash:
Elisabeth, who are these people?

Elisabeth:
The queen's lackeys!
Be careful! They're all pretty strong!

Queen's Knight:
We are knights in the queen's service.
We fight to purge Halloween.

Queen's Knight:
Those who speak of or desire to bring back Halloween shall be exiled or sentenced to hard labor, without exception!

Mash:
That's terrible...!

Queen's Knight:
And we also received a complaint that this girl over here... is, um... not wearing appropriate attire in public...

Fou:
Fou.

Elisabeth:
That's not true! I'm quite obviously dressed as a hero! ...Wait, I am, right!?

Queen's Knight:
(Ahem)

Queen's Knight:
In any event, it's exile or hard labor.
You're going to have to pick one!

Elisabeth:
I don't have to be afraid of you any longer!
Come, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]! We're going to fight!

Mash:
Wait.

Mash:
Can you at least tell us why Halloween was banned?

Queen's Knight:
Because, uh... Because the queen ordered it!

Mash:
Then we'd like to ask the queen why.

Queen's Knight:
The world's most lovely queen will not hold an audience with the likes of you!

Queen's Knight:
Sorry, but we're going to restrain you!

Elisabeth:
Like hell you are!

Elisabeth:
If you're going to stand in the way of my concerts and everything I stand for...

Elisabeth:
...I don't care who you are.
I'll use every ounce of my strength to defeat you!

Mash:
Looks like there's no way around it.
Let's go, Master!

Mash:
By the way... Do you keep seeing someone lurking around here?

--BATTLE--

Queen's Knight:
W-We've failed...! Retreat! Retreat!

Mash:
We sent them running, but... they were all quite skilled.

Mash:
A queen adored by knights of such caliber...
I wonder what she's like.

Dr. Roman:
We'll probably need to meet her if we're going to repair the Singularity.

Elisabeth:
Now, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet], you're going to help me, right!?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Fujimaru has joined the party!

Elisabeth:
...Th-Thank goodness...

Elisabeth:
Thank you... I'm so moved, I want to dance and sing right at this moment.

Mash:
Not necessary, let's move!

Elisabeth:
Eh!? Fast much!?

Elisabeth:
...Whatever. Anyway...!

Elisabeth:
The legend of the Crimson Hero Elisabeth is going to start right here! That witch needs to brace herself!

Narration:
Crimson Hero Elisabeth's Adventure has begun!

Mash:
So why were you in the tavern with that sign?

Elisabeth:
Oh, that? All I did was say this to the owner lady:

Elisabeth:
“Now then! I'm looking for some strong, radiant companions! Ones who will put me in the spotlight and worship me!”

Elisabeth:
“I'll be on vocals. I've never been in a band before. Looking for pros on guitar, bass, and drums.”

Elisabeth:
When I did, she smiled and just handed the sign to me! Isn't that mean!?

Mash:
I guess it serves you right...

Lancelot:
Your Majesty, we have confirmed visitors from Chaldea. It seems they were caught in the Bounded Field that was put up.

Tristan:
...

???:
Ha! Oh, I am so perfect, I predicted all of this!
I of course have countermeasures in place!

???:
With the ultimate gatekeeper on watch, my superiority cannot be challenged... Oh, it's too beautiful...

???:
I rule this land appropriately, with tolerance and ruthlessness.

Queen's Knight:
I-If I may, Your Majesty... Will Halloween continue to be banned?

???:
Dunce! How about going to a salon and cleaning up your dull look first!

???:
It's too soon for the common fools to celebrate Halloween!

???:
Holding such a lighthearted festival when the world is in such an unstable state? Pure idiocy!

???:
Endure with patience, and keep love within your heart! Follow in my footsteps!

Queen's Knight:
...But everyone was looking forward to Halloween...
My children, too...

???:
Blasphemy! Backtalk is punishable by death! But, for the sake of your children, I shall give you a day off. With remuneration!

???:
Lay down your sword and return to your pitiful family at once! That is, if you value your life!

Queen's Knight:
Er, Your Majesty?
I, uh, I don't quite follow...

Lancelot:
Just go home.
It means you have tomorrow off.

Queen's Knight:
...Understood. Then with all due respect, I shall receive your punishment of...paid leave.

Lancelot:
Now then, my queen.
What would you have us do?

Lancelot:
Shall we take them on now so we don't have to worry about them later?

???:
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
You fool!

???:
If we did that, it'd be like I was afraid of them for some reason!

???:
I'm sending the knights into town.
It'll prevent the citizens from becoming restless.

???:
As for you two... Well, there's no need for you to be deployed.

???:
I know you're planning on hitting on the local girls the second I send you there. Sorry, but things don't always go your way!

Lancelot:
...No, that's not what I...

Tristan:
Unbelievable... She sees through our very way of life...

Lancelot:
No, Lord Tristan. I really just care about the safety of the town.

Tristan:
...I hear there's a girl with a broken heart at one of the taverns. Apparently her man left her after losing his entire fortune on a bet the other day.

Lancelot:
Which tavern is that? You mean that cute girl from Ash Tree Tavern on 3rd?

???:
Ohoho. Maybe you would like to wait in prison instead of your own rooms?

Lancelot:
Excuse us. We will remain on standby, Your Majesty.

Lancelot:
Then we shall take our leave.
Please get some rest, my queen.

???:
I will, of course.
Now leave immediately!

Tristan:
...

Lancelot:
Yes, Your Majesty.
...Tristan?

???:
...?

Tristan:
...

Tristan:
... (Snoring)

???:
...

Tristan:
...How sad. This intense pain is making me sad.

Lancelot:
You know, in a way, that was quite impressive...

Section 3: "May King"

Elisabeth:
First things first.
We should get more people!

Mash:
Are we not enough on our own...?

Elisabeth:
No, that's not it! Mash, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet], I'm always depending on you!

Elisabeth:
But we're up against famous knights.
Just the three of us isn't enough!

Elisabeth:
Also, I'm a fantasy hero. They always have a wide variety of party members to support them!

Elisabeth:
When I was an idol, I had someone on drums and taiko, woodwind, and more, all to back me up!

---

Fujimaru 1:
That's a lot of percussion.

Elisabeth:
Yes, we played to the primal beats!
You could really feel it!

---

Fujimaru 2:
We need more cowbell...

Elisabeth:
I know... But I think there's an even more pressing issue at hand...

Mash:
Umm... So you'd like a Caster as well?

Elisabeth:
Yep, yep! And a cleric type would be good too.
One who can use their cure magic for healing!

Mash:
Healing, huh...

Nurse:
...Now then, let's begin the treatment.

Nurse:
This is to save you. You will have to endure one or two broken bones, and maybe the loss of an arm or two.
Or three.

Nurse:
Okay, here I go!

Monk:
Hm? Healing? You don't need that yet. We can self-heal through adrenaline and endorphins alone!

Monk:
Come now, don't cry. Pull yourself together.
You're a hero, right!?

Serial Killer:
Hmm... I don't really know what I'm doing, so I'm going to take you apart. I'll do my best!

Elisabeth:
...Let's handle the healing ourselves!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Good idea!

Mash:
Finding the right person for the job is harder than I thought... Is there anyone else who can heal?

---

Fujimaru 2:
Is there no one else who could do it?

Mash:
Others who could... Perhaps Sanson?

Sanson:
There, I healed you.

Sanson:
To think that I would be healing people, when I used to execute people. Hehe, how ironic...

Sanson:
Yes, I have sinned...

Sanson:
Oh, Marie... Marie... Will I ever be able to forgive myself?

Mash:
He'd be too burdened with guilt to even do his job...

Mash:
It's no use. Nobody comes to mind.

Mash:
How about we head back to the tavern and ask there?

Elisabeth:
Uh, I'm not sure about the tavern...

Mash:
...I suppose you're right.
In that case, Doctor...

Dr. Roman:
... (Yawn)

---

Fujimaru 1:
Hey!

Dr. Roman:
Yikes! Talk about an ominous voice!

Dr. Roman:
I had a rare occasion to relax, and I couldn't resist...

Dr. Roman:
Don't worry, I've confirmed your location.
What's going on?

Mash:
We want to find a Servant that can join us, so we'd like you to widen the search range as much as possible.

Dr. Roman:
Okay, roger that.
...It's weak, but there's a signature near you.

Mash:
What!? Near us!?

Mash:
Master, be careful!
Someone might be here to ambush us!

Elisabeth:
Huh? What? Is someone here?

Elisabeth:
Show yourself!

Mash:
...It's quiet. Doctor, are you sure...?

Dr. Roman:
Of course I am! I'm doing my job! I really am!

Dr. Roman:
But if it's that close and you can't tell, then that means—

Mash:
An Assassin, I imagine.

Dr. Roman:
They haven't moved at all, so I'm guessing they don't mean you any harm.

Elisabeth:
Aaaaaahhh!!

Mash:
Master, that scream...!

G：Elisabeth:
Who set this trap here!?
M-My leg's stuck and I can't move...!

G：Elisabeth:
Something weird's coming!
I can't move! Save me, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Let's go save her!

Mash:
Yes!

Mash:
Elisabeth!

G：Elisabeth:
[♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]! My leg! It's stuck! I can't move!

G：Elisabeth:
Save meeeee!

Mash:
It's okay! We're coming! Master, give me your orders!

G：Elisabeth:
Save me before you do that!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Sorry, in a second!

--BATTLE--

Mash:
The battle is over.

Dr. Roman:
Good work. I'm not seeing any more enemies in the surrounding area.

Dr. Roman:
Except for the KO'd demi-dragon in front of you, I mean.

Mash:
Okay, Doctor.
So...

F：Elisabeth:
...

Mash:
The constant flailing must've made all her blood rush to her head and knocked her out. I suppose we should get her down.

Elisabeth:
That was mean! You just left me there!

Mash:
Sorry, we had to prioritize the situation...

Elisabeth:
In any event, there isn't anyone here!
I'll turn you into a pincushion for lying to me!

Dr. Roman:
That's strange. Looks like they just won't come out.

Dr. Roman:
It's almost like they're saying, “I want nothing to do with this zero who's mistaken herself for a hero! I'm going to stay in my room!”

Mash:
We'll just have to bring them out somehow...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Oh...

Fou:
Fou!?

Mash:
Master, you look like you just saw the world ending or something!

Dr. Roman:
Your spiritual essence is also wavering!
Are you okay, Fujimaru!?

Elisabeth:
Wh-What's wrong, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]?
You don't look so well.

Elisabeth:
Do you want to hear a song?
Will you feel better if you hear me sing?

Mash:
Elisabeth, that's—

---

Fujimaru 1:
I...just might.

Both:
WH...

Both:
WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

Dr. Roman:
That... That can't be! Fujimaru, this is all my fault!

Dr. Roman:
You must've been carrying around a heavy mental burden all this time!

Dr. Roman:
I'll Rayshift you back, and we can try this Singularity again later...

Mash:
Master, pull yourself together!
Um, well... You can do it! You can do it!

Fou:
Fou, fou, fou!

Elisabeth:
[♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]... You've finally become captivated by my songs...!

Elisabeth:
Very well. This will double as my daily voice training.
I'll sing my heart out for you!

Elisabeth:
Consider yourself lucky.

Elisabeth:
You're going to be the first ones who get to hear my songs after becoming a hero.

Dr. Roman:
I wonder if a flock of wyverns will randomly come to attack!?

Dr. Roman:
If not, Roman soldiers will suffice.
Honestly, anything's fine... Whoops! Guess not!

Mash:
It's...too late...!

D：???:

Hold it riiiight there!

Mash:
Oh.

Fou:
Fou.

---

Fujimaru 1:
Thank goodness...!

Elisabeth:
Huh? Uh... It's the green... You know...

Mash:
Robin Hood!

Elisabeth:
Yeah, that's it!

Robin Hood:
D-Dammit! I accidentally released my No Face May King!

Robin Hood:
Fujimaru... You're reckless.

Elisabeth:
Huh? Huh? Wait, what's going on?

Mash:
...!

Mash:
Master risked it all to bring the hidden Servant out...!

Elisabeth:
...I don't really get it, but this is all thanks to my song, right?

Elisabeth:
I'm just glad I was able to help [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet].

---

Fujimaru 1:
Yeah...

Fou:
Fou...

Robin Hood:
If it's going to weigh on your conscience later, then don't bother doing it at all...

Elisabeth:
...Oh!

Mash:
Elisabeth?

Elisabeth:
I get it! That trap that got me a moment ago!

Elisabeth:
That was your doing, wasn't it!?

Robin Hood:
What a pain. You have surprisingly good intuition.
Yeah, yeah, sorry about that.

Robin Hood:
The outskirts of town have been dangerous lately.
Pests and werebeasts have been lurking about.

Robin Hood:
Probably because it's almost Halloween.
The monsters are getting all excited, too.

Robin Hood:
As a guy who roosts around these parts, I can't sleep at night without setting up some traps. I get all anxious.

Elisabeth:
Are you sure that's the werebeasts' fault? Is it not just that you need traps around to feel at ease?

Robin Hood:
The latter, of course. A free safe haven doesn't feel right. Safety is maintained through hard work and money.

---

Fujimaru 1:
You're pretty cautious.

Robin Hood:
Yep, I'm a cautious guy.
Only the humble survive in the forest.

Robin Hood:
I'm naturally a coward. I'm scared to see my enemy's face straight on.

Elisabeth:
Is that why you take them down from the shadows?
You're actually an Assassin, aren't you?

---

Fujimaru 2:
Werebeasts...

Robin Hood:
Yeah, beasts typically don't go near human territory. They're careful, after all.

Robin Hood:
But they've gotten so close.
We're in a perilous situation here.

Mash:
It does seem that it is unusually dangerous here.
I bet that pyramid is the main culprit.

Elisabeth:
That's right, Mash! Nicely done!

Elisabeth:
That pyramid is the cause of everything!
I'm sure something can be done if we travel there!

Robin Hood:
You think so?

Robin Hood:
To be honest, the werebeasts started showing up way before the pyramid—

Robin Hood:
Hey, looks like someone else got caught in the trap.

Robin Hood:
If you're going to take on the pyramid, I don't mind lending a hand. That queen's brazen attitude is just too much for me.

Robin Hood:
I was just thinking that she could use a little punishment.

Mash:
Thank you very much!
Elisabeth, we got ourselves a scout!

Elisabeth:
Scout? You mean someone who looks for potential idols!?

Elisabeth:
...But I don't feel like joining an agency yet...

Elisabeth:
What should I do...?

Robin Hood:
Considering you're a ruler, I really think you should stop daydreaming like that, you know?

Elisabeth:
Sh-Shut up. Anyway, let's take out those werebeasts!

Elisabeth:
[♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet], Mash, Robin... Follow me!

Elisabeth:
I can't have dirty werebeasts attacking my town!

Robin Hood:
...

Mash:
Robin, what's wrong?

Robin Hood:
Oh, nothing. Just thinking about how the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so to speak...

Robin Hood:
That dragon girl has no other plan but to rush in.
We'll just have to support her, won't we?

Elisabeth:
There you are! Hahaha. Something really did get caught!

Elisabeth:
You look stupid hanging upside down like that!

Fou:
Fou!

Mash:
Elisabeth! You should think about what happened to you a few minutes ago!

Elisabeth:
I decided to stay positive, and keep anything that happened in the past locked away in my heart!

Robin Hood:
Well how about you examine some of those things tucked away in your heart, huh?

Elisabeth:
Yeah, I couldn't forget them even if I wanted to!

Elisabeth:
Anyway, Green! You're joining us once we take them out!

Robin Hood:
Sure. Once we get rid of all of them, there's no reason for me to stay in this forest anyway.

Robin Hood:
This is totally going to be a pain, but I guess I have to.
I'll join you on your Death Tour!

Elisabeth:
It's not a “Death Tour”!
It's a curing, shiny concert tour!

--BATTLE--

Elisabeth:
Alright, the scout will now scout for us!
You're going to keep your promise, right?

Robin Hood:
Fine. So what do we do? Barge into the pyramid now?

Elisabeth:
No, I want one more person, I think.

---

Fujimaru 1:
A four-person party is pretty standard.

Mash:
I-Is it? I thought it was six...

Elisabeth:
Anyway, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet], I want a mage!

---

Fujimaru 2:
A mage!

Elisabeth:
That's right, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]!

Robin Hood:
Huh. You're going to go scout a mage, huh...
Well, that's fine.

Robin Hood:
I do know someone, but... um...

Mash:
Is there a problem?

Mash:
Is it because they have gone insane, or that they build miniature gardens, or that they're fighting between AC and DC, or that they summon a flying saucer...?

Robin Hood:
...Well, those would be problems, yeah...
It's just, she's a lot like someone we know.

Dr. Roman:
A lot like who?

Robin Hood:
(Points silently)

Elisabeth:
Me?

???:
(Gasp!)
I just had a feeling of impending disaster!

???:
But he who runs in the face of the enemy does not deserve the mantle of “pharaoh.”

???:
No matter what disaster it may be, I shall humbly fight it off!

Section 4: "PHAAARAAAOHHH"

Elisabeth:
...Hey, are we there yet?

Robin Hood:
Sure, just wait a little longer.

Mash:
Robin, Robin.

Mash:
Um... Who is this mage you're talking about, and how is she like Elisabeth?

Robin Hood:
They're practically one and the same.
She's just a bit more intelligent.

Robin Hood:
She's a bright one, but she's narrow-minded. Arrogant. Bossy. Fairly serious, but with a low boiling point.

Robin Hood:
She jumps to conclusions and goes out of control, leading to disastrous consequences. It's all very painful to watch.

Mash:
Oh...

Fou:
Foou...

Elisabeth:
What? That's not like me at all.

Both:
It's just like you.

Elisabeth:
(Gulp)

Robin Hood:
She's a pharaoh, and a queen, as well as a self-proclaimed god of the sky and the underworld.

Elisabeth:
What? Don't you think that's too much description?
Only idols of little talent have that many traits.

Mash:
Noblewoman, vampire, serial killer, bat wings, dragon horns, idol, dragon girl. Isn't that too much too?

Elisabeth:
Wait, how come all my traits sound negative!?

Dr. Roman:
Hey, hold it. I'm detecting a powerful response...

C：???:
Who's intruding in my territory this late without an appointment? Begone, impudent ones!

Fou:
Fooou!

Mash:
S-So sudden!

Elisabeth:
Waaaaah!

Robin Hood:
Calm down! It's an illusion.
An illusion!

Robin Hood:
Hey there, Your Majesty.

C：???:
May King, you must be mad to bring them here.

C：???:
We made a pact to protect one another's territory.

Robin Hood:
Firstly, stop calling me that. It's embarrassing.

Robin Hood:
And secondly, what's your deal? Bringing out a scary illusion to intimidate us and whatnot?

C：???:
Well, what did you expect?

C：???:
I don't know about you and the shield girl, but that woman there has a nasty aura.

Elisabeth:
Eh? Me?

C：???:
Indeed. Tell me your name, impudent one.

C：???:
You're... I don't know...um, like... The fact that I feel a subtle kinship with you is ticking me off!

C：???:
This may sound sudden, but I hereby declare you my eternal rival! Got it!?

Elisabeth:
Fine by me!

Elisabeth:
For some reason, when I'm talking to you, my head starts to hurt and it's ticking me off!

C：???:
I see. So it looks like our opinions align.

Elisabeth:
Right. That's good.

C：???:
...

Elisabeth:
...

Both:
TELL ME YOUR NAME!

Mash:
When these two start talking, I get the feeling it will never end, Master!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Introduce yourselves! Both of you!

C：???:
Huh? Oh, r-right.

---

Fujimaru 2:
My name is !

Elisabeth:
Huh? Name?
Oh, right. Name. Yes, name.

Nitocris:
My name is Nitocris.
I am a pharaoh from a distant land.

Nitocris:
The god of the underworld, and the incarnation of the sky god Horus.

Nitocris:
And now, I study magecraft while I frolic with my phantoms in a deep cave.

Elisabeth:
My name is Elisabeth Báthory.
As you can see, I'm an idol.

Elisabeth:
My specialty is idol pop, I suppose. An since I have draconic blood, naturally I also have a breath attack!

Elisabeth:
And I'm also a distinguished noble. And these wings and horns? Cute, aren't they? Anything else?

Nitocris:
I see. Now we understand each other well.

Elisabeth:
That's right. I think so too.

Both:

We'll never get along!!

Robin Hood:
No, I think you two are getting along just fine.

Nitocris:
How!? She's a typical spoiled Western noble girl!

Nitocris:
She's the type of woman I hate the most in this world! She needs to suffer more!

Elisabeth:
Th-That's my line! I hate that “Oh, look at me, I'm a queen” attitude! It makes me want to throw up! Especially since you're an old hag!

Mash:
(Master, is she talking about Carmilla?)

---

Fujimaru 1:
Probably...

Mash:
(It's very sad, isn't it...?)

---

Fujimaru 2:
They're denying each other, so yeah...

Robin Hood:
She's lived a complicated life, too, huh?

Elisabeth:
I can't take this anymore! It's time to duel!
I'll smash your face in with my holy sword!

Nitocris:
Fine! I'll teach you and your 80s style who's really the boss!

Nitocris:
That armor is just old! I can't say exactly what's old about it, but it's very old!

Elisabeth:
What? You don't even know that retro style is the new trend!? What a dummy!

Nitocris:
The only thing retro we need around here is Egypt!
You moron!

Elisabeth:

RAAARRGGH!

Nitocris:

HISSSSSS!

Mash:
Master, I don't understand what's going on.
Fou's cries are easier to follow!

Fou:
Fou...

Elisabeth:
What are you doing? Let's go, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]! Crimson Hero Elisabeth is going to take down the evil mage!

Elisabeth:
Follow meeeeee!

Mash:
Hey! Please don't take Master away!

Robin Hood:
Argh! Damn it! We've got no choice but to follow them!

Nitocris:
First, let's have you fight my pretty, pretty phantoms!

Elisabeth:
Bring it on! Come on, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]!

---

Fujimaru 1:
I got it, so let go of my hand!

--BATTLE--

Elisabeth:
We're through! Let's keep going!

Elisabeth:
My throat's all warmed up now!

Nitocris:
Tch, I can hear those evil sound waves all the way here.

Nitocris:
It's like the wails of the dead from the underworld! Honestly, it's a genre I like!

Nitocris:
Idol pop... I guess I can't take it lightly!

Elisabeth:
What do you mean by wails of the dead!?

Elisabeth:
The motto of idol pop is “Cute, Cuter, Cutest,” you know!

Nitocris:
But I'm not done yet!
...Sphinx! Come on out!

---

Fujimaru 1:
What!?

Nitocris:
Heheh. It costs a lot to rent, but this sphinx is the true guardian of my cavern.

Nitocris:
Pharaoh Ozymandias may not look it, but he runs a very honest business...

Nitocris:
“Oh, you want to borrow my army of holy beasts?
Then the rental fee is three scarabs a week.”

Nitocris:
“If you want a Marika Sphinx, add in 10 chains. Also, make sure its stomach is full when you bring it back.”

Nitocris:
He gave me those very reasonable terms!
Now, get them!

Elisabeth:
Tch! Even I can tell... That thing is really powerful!

Elisabeth:
But don't worry, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet].
I will win. You know why?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Not a clue...

Elisabeth:
Heheh, so even my little [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet] doesn't know?
Then I'll tell you.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Because you're strong?

Elisabeth:
Close. But might doesn't always make right.

Elisabeth:
It's because I'm a hero. In other words, the good guy always wins!

Elisabeth:
Now do you get it, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]?

Nitocris:
...That's strange. My pharaoh-vision shows your original alignment as Chaotic-Evil...

Elisabeth:
Sh-Sh-Shut up! Bring it, you hag!

--BATTLE--

Elisabeth:
...That was surprisingly easy!

Nitocris:
Th-That's strange! There's no way my guardian sphinx is this weak!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Maybe it's not in its natural habitat?

Nitocris:
That's it! How foolish! I should've brought a heater!

---

Fujimaru 2:
It seemed tired.

Nitocris:
(GASP!) It must have been tired from its long journey from Egypt...!

Nitocris:
And it probably couldn't adapt to the environment either! How foolish of me!

Elisabeth:
Now we finally meet!

Nitocris:
So you made it through all my challenges, and now here you are at last.

Nitocris:
I shall praise you for that!
But this is the end of the line!

Nitocris:
Why? Because I'm splendidly strong! I've been cooped up in my room perfecting my magecraft!

Elisabeth:
...Unbelievable. She's bragging about being a shut-in!

Elisabeth:
Wait, are you okay?
I really hate dark and cramped places.

Nitocris:
Me too! But this is the underworld right now! If I want to enhance my dark pharaoh power, this is the only place!

Nitocris:
To be honest, the Western underworld is just too damaging.

Nitocris:
The Egyptian underworld is vast, comfortable, and dry... Why do you people view death as a negative thing?

Nitocris:
Rather, why do you have to punish souls who have already lost their bodies? Does your god actually hate humans?

Elisabeth:
...Listen to you. You're pretty cynical. You look pretty sporty, but you're actually just another bookworm.

Nitocris:
Book...worm? No, I study curses, see...

Nitocris:
I wrote messages as a pharaoh, but most of what I wrote were spells and curses...

Elisabeth:
So you're a bass player!

Elisabeth:
The person that works hard to set the tone of the band from behind the scenes and carve an oppressive sound into the audience!

Elisabeth:
But the sound is usually hidden under the melody of the guitar. The guitar plays the melody, the bass lays down the rhythm...

Elisabeth:
Oh, it's so sad! The bassist is lonely,
but their job is the most rock n' roll of them all!
That's what I think!

Elisabeth:
You must've endured a lot, despite your demeanor!

Nitocris:
I don't really know what you mean by bassist, but I appreciate your noticing that!

Nitocris:
And I can see you struggle a lot, too! Just look at how hard the people around you struggle!

Elisabeth:
Yes, of course!
Wait... Was that a compliment?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Of course.

Elisabeth:
Right!? Zebra stripes says some good things, despite being our enemy!

---

Fujimaru 2:
That's Nitocris for you... She's just a little off...

Dr. Roman:
Yeah. She has the insight to understand a situation in a single moment, but her conclusions always seem to miss the mark...

Elisabeth:
I accept it. That woman is a tough foe! That's why I won't use any tricks. I'll fight her head-on!

Nitocris:
Haha, bring it on.
If it weren't for this situation, I'm sure we'd—

Elisabeth:
Yes, I'm sure we could've been friends...!
But that future will never happen.

Nitocris:
It's sad to say it, but you're right.
Now let's fight...!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Are you sure you guys aren't actually getting along...?

Both:
100% SURE!

--BATTLE--

Nitocris:
Heh... Not bad... I've run out of my hardworking phantoms...

Elisabeth:
You're not so bad yourself. Those were some amazing moves... Also, those phantoms are cute.

Elisabeth:
Especially the ones with the sheets on their heads.
The ones that go in circles.

Elisabeth:
I feel like they could give me some useful ideas for my concert!

Nitocris:
So you noticed my Medjeds... I guess you're not just a harmful beast after all.

Nitocris:
Your songs really were wonderful...
The phantoms were all applauding...

Nitocris:
And so was I... It felt so good that I was inspired spiritually.

---

Fujimaru 1:
Huh?

---

Fujimaru 2:
Huh?

Nitocris:
It's true that the pyramid has been in the back of my mind. As pharaoh, I figured I needed to “say hello”...

Nitocris:
But I didn't think it was right to take them on alone, so I stayed here in my little abode.

Nitocris:
...Very well, Crimson Hero Elisabeth.
I will help you with your concert.

Elisabeth:
Thank you. I have a feeling we will become good friends.

Mash:
(Panting) We've finally caught up... Huh?

Robin Hood:
A-A handshake?
Not a fight?

Mash:
Um... Master?
What happened?

---

Fujimaru 1:
I knew they'd be friends.

Robin Hood:
...But if two troublemakers become friends, that just means an exponential increase in problems for us...

Both:
WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

Fou:
Fou...

Elisabeth:
Anyway, let's get going!
Our goal is to reach Pyramid Csejte!

Elisabeth:
Our next stop takes us through the Glacier Zone!

Mash:
Glaciers!?

Elisabeth:
...Now that I think about it, yes, it's weird to have something like that on the way to a castle...

Dr. Roman:
I think it's a staple for these type of adventures.

Dr. Roman:
...Hm? I'm seeing one, two, three, four... five Servant responses...

Dr. Roman:
There's one too many of you!

Ibaraki-Douji:
...Humph. There's an un-candy lack of candy around here... And no, that wasn't meant to be a joke.

Ibaraki-Douji:
What's going on, Fujimaru?
You didn't lie to me, did you!?

Ibaraki-Douji:
I thought Halloween was supposed to be this wonderful festival where you can eat all the candy you want!

---

Fujimaru 1:
What are you doing here?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Idiot! I've been here the whole time!
You just failed to notice me!

---

Fujimaru 2:
How long have you been here?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Fwahahaha! I Rayshifted here with you!

Mash:
So I wasn't seeing things...!
Thank goodness!

Elisabeth:
Huh? Who are you?
I don't want a Jester joining my party!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Who are you calling a Jester!?
I'm not some drunk Kyoto commoner!

Mash:
Looks like the next episode will still be chaotic!

F：???:
...Humph.

F：???:
Hahahaha! What a boring book this is!
Though it is killing time, I guess...

F：???:
You there! The sleeping pig!

Tristan:
Yes ma'am. Sleeping pig Tristan, at your service.

F：???:
I don't like that music. Play something else.

Tristan:
Then what about this?

F：???:
Stop it, you're driving me crazy!
I can't read my book in peace!

Tristan:
I thought a more upbeat tune would be better...

F：???:
There are limits to how far you can go! Limits!

F：???:
And night has fallen. Loud noises are unrefined.

F：???:
And actually, how did you play that sound with a harp?

Lancelot:
Excuse me, my queen.

F：???:
What do you want? I'm going to bed. If you have something to report, tell me tomorrow—

Lancelot:
Pharaoh-You-Know-Who has joined the party from Chaldea.

F：???:
WH...

F：???:

WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

F：???:
The pharaoh aligned herself with that stupid, foolish girl who lacks even a shred of intelligence!?

Tristan:
How sad! Our queen's face is twisted in sorrow...

Tristan:
...but even then it is still radiantly beautiful...

F：???:
With her involved, they will even break through the Lava Zone, not to mention the Glacier Zone...

Lancelot:
What shall we do, my queen?

F：???:
It seems an idiot can exceed one's expectations.

F：???:
This is difficult... Humph...

Tristan:
The worried look on Your Majesty's face is beautiful too—

F：???:
I'm trying to think, and there you are getting in the way. Go jump out a window.

Tristan:
Oh... I can fly...!

Lancelot:
He really jumped...!

Lancelot:
He's using sound waves to fly...

F：???:
Of course he can fly! Haven't you heard of the Tristan thrush? Anyway, Sir Lances-A-Lot-Of-Married-Women...

Lancelot:
Yes, Your Majesty...
I mean, what!?

F：???:
I'm deploying those girls to the Lava Zone.
Hold them back no matter the cost.

Lancelot:
Wh-What...? But those girls are far too dangerous.

Lancelot:
They might get out of control.
No, I mean they will! I'm sure of it!

F：???:
Hahahaha! It'll be fine! Why?
Because it's me doing it!

Lancelot:
(That worries me...)

Section 5: "It's Frozen, So Let It Go"

Ibaraki-Douji:
There's no need to introduce myself!
That's right, it's me, Ibaraki!

---

Fujimaru 1:
You were in the corner hiding.

Ibaraki-Douji:
If you noticed me there, you should've said something! Or are you teasing me!?

---

Fujimaru 2:
I didn't notice you.

Mash:
Sorry. I thought you were some child trying to stalk us for some sweets!

Ibaraki-Douji:

Y-You...
Y-Y-You...!

Ibaraki-Douji:
You thought I would hang around just for some sweets!? They were good, yes, but still...!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Argh! You're all a bunch of imbeciles!
Don't you know who I am!?

Ibaraki-Douji:
I'm the leader of the oni, as well as a skilled thief notorious in the capital!

Ibaraki-Douji:
I am Ibaraki-Douji, a thief so great that I was able to build the great Ibuki Shuten Palace on Mt. Ooe!

Dr. Roman:
A thief... Right, I suppose that's accurate... There are records of you stealing treasures from the nobility...

Ibaraki-Douji:
Hahahaha, that's right!

Ibaraki-Douji:
“Princess Kaguya” is such a joke! If I had been around in that period, those five treasures would've easily been mine!

Ibaraki-Douji:
So, do you fear me now!? Do you respect me!?
Will you praise me!? Will you give me some sweets!?

Ibaraki-Douji:
I am an evil monster, an oni...
Ah-choo!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Sniff... It's cold... I hate being cold...
Mother always told me to wear a belly warmer...

Ibaraki-Douji:
...Um, wait.
Uh, where was I in my story?

---

Fujimaru 1:
I think we've heard enough.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Enough, eh? I see, I see. Then you're quick to understand. That's not a bad thing.

Ibaraki-Douji:
But Mash. You look as cold as me. Aren't you uncomfortable? Do you not have a belly warmer?

Mash:
No, I'm fine...
But it's true that the temperature is low in this area.

Mash:
Senpai, as long as you're in your Chaldea uniform, you should be fine. It's resistant to both the cold and the heat.

Mash:
What about you, Elisabeth? Um, since you're exposing yourself more than usual...

Elisabeth:
...I'm cold...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Well, I mean, your outfit...

Elisabeth:
I-I'm a hero, so it shouldn't be a problem!
Heroes don't catch colds!

Mash:
I don't think she's okay...
Let's get through here as quick as we can.

Nitocris:
Y-Yes, good idea...

Nitocris:
From a pharaoh point of view, I think it's best we just run right through.

Nitocris:
My garments don't cover much either!

Robin Hood:
Got it. Then let's go for a little run!

Elisabeth:
Waaah, it's cold!

Nitocris:
My lovely phantoms normally cool me down, but in this weather, they're kind of annoying!

Robin Hood:
Yeah... Even I'm cold. And I'm one of the more properly dressed ones.

Mash:
By the way, Ibaraki!
Why did you come here!?

Ibaraki-Douji:
(Talking with mouth full of something)
Oh, no special reason. I just felt like it.

Mash:
...Oh. You just felt like it...

Mash:
And it's not for extremely selfish reasons, correct?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Trick?

---

Fujimaru 2:
Treat?

Ibaraki-Douji:
I don't understand. Is that a password?
But that tart thing was delicious.

Ibaraki-Douji:
And this “candy” stuff is exceptional as well!
But it's so sweet, I'm afraid my fangs will melt!

Ibaraki-Douji:
...Sheesh. Back in the day, a single piece of konpeitou was enough to make me swing between joy and sorrow...

Ibaraki-Douji:
I wish Mother were here, because then I could give her some... But anyway, mmm, I'm very curious about those pound cake things too...

Mash:
You've developed quite the sweet tooth...

Mash:
No wonder Shuten treats you like a child...

Ibaraki-Douji:
What are you talking about?
This is not my intention!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Humans are the ones who offer me sweets to save their lives!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Meat is a better choice than sweets when you get hungry. Then again, after becoming a Servant, I am never hungry!

Ibaraki-Douji:
So I'll let them live in exchange for this unsubstantial offering of sweets, but just this once. Welp, I feel like I'm going to melt!

Dr. Roman:
I see. Intentions aside, your true feelings are totally showing.

Ibaraki-Douji:
But once you step out of town, what the heck is going on!? Treat! Treat! Treeeaaat!

Ibaraki-Douji:
I keep yelling the password, but no one shows up!
Ah! Oh no! I'm getting sugar withdrawal symptoms...!

Ibaraki-Douji:
I need something to munch on! Something sugary! Something tough!

Ibaraki-Douji:
But if you don't have anything like that, one of those Evil Bones you always have stocked up will do!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Oh hell no! Anything but an Evil Bone!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Then candy! Marshmallows would be fine, too!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Come to think of it, running around in the cold is making me crave something with calories in it!

---

Fujimaru 1:
What about Mash!?

Mash:
S-Senpai!?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Mmm, she looks soft but not sweet!
Rejected!

---

Fujimaru 2:
I don't have any more!

Dr. Roman:
Hahaha. That's because we used a lot on Caster Elisabeth.

Ibaraki-Douji:
What...did you just say!?

Ibaraki-Douji:

So... no more sweets? All gone?

Ibaraki-Douji:
But I still haven't had my favorite–this thing you call “chocolate”!

Mash:
That's the way the cookie crumbles...

Ibaraki-Douji:
Grrr, grrr, hahahaha!
...I'm going home...

Ibaraki-Douji:
I'm going back to the mountain!

Mash:
P-Please, wait, Ibaraki! I'll give you sweets when we get back to Chaldea!

Mash:
Our meeting up here must be fate.
Please, won't you help us?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Bwahahaha!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Nonsense. A human seeking help from an oni is the height of absurdity!

Mash:
You're right, but...

Robin Hood:
... (Rustle, rustle)

Ibaraki-Douji:
In the first place, I only came here for fun. I am what you could call a visitor from out of town, and yet you ask for my help to–Mmmpph!

Mash:
Hmm?

Ibaraki-Douji:

Ohhh... Ooooooohhh!

Fou:
Fou!

Robin Hood:
Whoops, silly me, throwing chocolate around like that!
I was saving that for the kids in town...

Robin Hood:
Although I suppose this works in a Japanese sense. Don't people there yell “Oni out, luck in!” while throwing food?

Ibaraki-Douji:

This is... choco... chocolate...!
It's sweet as hell... and sweet as hell to boot!

Dr. Roman:
This oni here isn't good at expressing herself.

Ibaraki-Douji:
But it won't work. Just a measly piece of chocolate won't work on me at all! It won't work...!

Nitocris:
She's gritting her teeth through a torrent of tears...
Her lament is making me choke up...

Ibaraki-Douji:
Yaaa! What's wrong, good man in green!? Aren't you going to attack me more!? Come on, come on!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Like the time at Rashomon!
Just like at Rashomon!

Robin Hood:
Well, I wish I could give you more, but...

Robin Hood:
Uh-oh, something's coming.
This is no time to be throwing chocolate around.

Ibaraki-Douji:

Hahahahaha, this infuriates me even more! Scum!
Get out of here. I'll rip you from limb to limb!

Mash:
M-Moving to battle formation!
Whenever you're ready, Master!

--BATTLE--

Ibaraki-Douji:
Green man! Green good tidings, green pilgrim, green hermit, green geezer!

Ibaraki-Douji:
As you can see, the pests are gone! So come on!
Pretend it's Setsubun and throw me some sweets!

Robin Hood:
All right, all right. I suppose you deserve it. But call me a geezer again and you can kiss chocolate goodbye.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Mmm. Understood. I'm clever in that area.
But... Mmm. Mmm-mmm-mmm.

Ibaraki-Douji:
We got rid of those enemies as quickly as the chocolates melting in my mouth.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Even this delicious chocolate isn't enough to keep me here. This place isn't worthy anymore! You heard me!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Farewell! Farewell!

Robin Hood:
Oh really? I was going to say... If you can defeat the queen living in that pyramid, you'll have all the sweets you can eat. Too bad.

Ibaraki-Douji:
I knew that pyramid was trouble.
When do we leave?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Ibaraki...

Dr. Roman:
Hmm. She's an unexpected addition to our party, but Ibaraki-Douji's strength is the real deal. Besides...

Mash:
Besides what, Doctor?

Dr. Roman:
I think it's a good thing she's showing an interest in human culture.

Dr. Roman:
Even if her underlying aggression towards humans can't be changed, having a favorite food in common with us is a positive thing.

Mash:
Yes, certainly. I think that leads to mutual understanding.

Dr. Roman:
Yeah. So, Fujimaru, I know it'll be tough, but please look after her.

---

Fujimaru 1:
Sure, I'll do my best!

---

Fujimaru 2:
She's perfectly tame now.

Ibaraki-Douji:
So where do we go from here?

Elisabeth:
Next is... the Lava Zone!
...But why is there lava...?

Mash:
L-Let's just go. We won't know until we see it for ourselves...!

All:

IT'S SO HOT!

Section 6: "Mother's Love and Lover's Passion Are as Barren as a Lava Plain"

Elisabeth:
It's hot!
So hooooooot!

Elisabeth:
Yow! Magma!
Magma splashed on me! Hot!

Mash:
A-Are you okay!?

Elisabeth:

Maaaaash!

Mash:
Behind my shield!?
U-Understood!

Mash:
You too, Master! It's dangerous here, so please hide behind my shield!

Nitocris:
S-Sorry, but me too, please!
With my thighs exposed like this...!

Mash:
W-We're like sardines in a can!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Robin, you too! Over here!

Robin Hood:
Thanks for the offer. Your consideration is all I need.
I've got this hood to protect me, so I'll make it through.

Robin Hood:
When you're on an adventurous journey, countermeasures against heat are a must. Though I have to say lava was unexpected.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Baki, you too! Over here!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Hahaha, unnecessary! It'll take more than this kind of heat to injure an oni's skin!

Ibaraki-Douji:
I'm fine here. Use the space to protect your weak bodies instead.

Elisabeth:
Argh, this... Move over a little, Nitocris!

Nitocris:
No way! If my body pokes out any more, my thigh will... My thigh will...!

Both:

It's so hoooooooot!

Robin Hood:
This is bad. Hey, we've got some enemies.

Elisabeth:
Enemies? There are enemies here...?

Elisabeth:
What's that queen thinking!? Here! In the Lava Zone! Why!? Why would she put enemies here!?

Elisabeth:
This is the only path that leads to the pyramid!
Why is there lava here anyway!?

Elisabeth:
Do they use this path themselves to get to town!?
Are they stupid? Are they morons!?

Dr. Roman:
...It seems the excessive stress has... temporarily enhanced her intelligence...

Mash:
I understand your frustration, but now's not the time! Get ready to fight!

Elisabeth:
I'll kill whoever thought of this map!

--BATTLE--

Elisabeth:
(Panting) I-I did it... I sure did it...

Mash:
N-Now then, let's keep moving!

---

Fujimaru 1:
...

Mash:
What's wrong, Master?
You're not looking too well...

Nitocris:
Not too well? More like you look ghastly.
Though honestly, it's my type of color.

Robin Hood:
You may be ill. Maybe your body's out of whack coming from the freezing cold into the scorching heat.

---

Fujimaru 1:
No... I'm getting chills for no reason...

Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru!? Your brain waves are getting highly unstable!

Dr. Roman:
Is there something abnormal in the area? Maybe there's a statue or book that affects your mental state with just a glance!?

Mash:
This is the Lava Zone!
Nothing like that can be found here!

Elisabeth:
It's okay, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]. With the five of us, it won't matter who we're facing.

Elisabeth:
Mash is the drum-defense, Nitocris the bass-support. Green is a manager-backup, while Ibaraki and I will be the leads.

Mash:
I agree... I think it's a good, well-balanced team.

Dr. Roman:
That's the spirit!

Dr. Roman:
There seem to be some Servants waiting, but I'm sure it will be okay with this party.

Elisabeth:
C'mon, we're almost at the end of this Lava Zone! There's nothing left to fear!

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
...Oh my.

Serenity:
...

Kiyohime:
...

---

Fujimaru 1:
I'm going home!

Mash:
Th-That's...

Dr. Roman:
The three Servants who Fujimaru keeps calling a “danger beyond all dangers”!

Mash:
...Also known as the Always-Sneaking-Into-Master's-Bed Trio!

Robin Hood:
Nah, let's face it. They're monsters.

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Oh? Oh my, my, my?

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Everyone, did you hear that child's voice just now?

All:
!!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Oh crap, Minamoto-no-Raikou!?

Serenity:
Indeed I did. I think I just heard “I love you!”

Kiyohime:
Yes, I'm sure that was towards me.

Serenity:
... (Giggle)

Kiyohime:
...Hee hee.

Robin Hood:
(...G-Got my No Face May King out in the nick of time...)

Mash:
(Master...! S-Senpai, are you okay? Deep breaths, deep breaths. We're fine. They haven't found us.)

Elisabeth:
(Hey, why do we need to hide?
We have to defeat them to get through, right?)

Nitocris:
(Shh! Just keep silent, Elisabeth. I can spiritually feel it.)

Nitocris:
(You may be the root of all negative energy for mankind, but those three are the root of all negative energy for the entire universe...)

Nitocris:
(In other words, they are like black holes...!)

Ibaraki-Douji:
(That is correct... You've got a pretty sharp eye there... Minamoto-no-Raikou is especially bad. That woman doesn't have a hitbox!)

Kiyohime:
Hmm... How odd.
I can smell Fujimaru after all.

Robin Hood:
(Smell? What's up with that Servant...!?)

Kiyohime:
(Sniff, sniff) Yooooo-hooooo!
Fujimaru, are you heeeeeere?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Eeeeek!

Mash:
(It's okay, it's okay!
Calm down, Master!)

Robin Hood:
(How traumatized are you...!?)

---

Fujimaru 2:
(Trembling)

Ibaraki-Douji:
(You there, are you all right?
You've started shaking like jelly...)

Mash:
(This may take a while, but let's keep still...
They'll eventually leave...)

Elisabeth:
(But we're still in the Lava Zone, so it's unbearably hot!)

Mash:
(Would you rather fight those three!?)

Elisabeth:
(...Well... that's...)

Mash:
(Right?)

Kiyohime:
Hmmm... Around here somewhere...
Fujimaru, where aaaaare yoooouuu?

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Playing hide-and-seek, are you?
Do you two know a surefire way to win?

Both:
?

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
“Vengeful Lightning of the Ox-King”!

Mash:
(What the...!?)

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
You just go and incinerate places that look like good hiding spots.

Both:
I seeee.

Robin Hood:
(...Why on earth are you contracted to someone like that?)

Nitocris:
(...Fujimaru, this may sound obtrusive, but now may be the time to make up your mind.)

Mash:
(Master...)

---

Fujimaru 1:
Let's fight...!

Mash:
(Y-Yes! Understood, Master!)

---

Fujimaru 2:
Let's do our best...!

Nitocris:
(I can tell you are mustering up all the courage you have... Now that's what I call an ally!)

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Oh.

Kiyohime:
Ah!

Serenity:
...Found you...

Elisabeth:
Sorry, but we need to get past.
And no, we're not letting you have [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]!

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
We will let you through if you just hand over the child though...

Elisabeth:
...! I said no!

Robin Hood:
I saw her hesitate...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Elly!?

Elisabeth:
It's okay, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]! Don't worry!

Ibaraki-Douji:
...Hey, you foreigner.

Nitocris:
Um, me?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Mm-hmm. There's something I want you to do with your skills...

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Then we have no choice. Let us squash the gypsy moth and take back our beloved child.

Elisabeth:
Gypsy moth? Who are you talking about?

Mash:
...Probably you...

Elisabeth:
Hmm, I see.
...Did you just call me a moth!?

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Yes, a moth. See, you have antennae.

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Plus you're an eyesore.
All those unnecessarily bright colors.

Elisabeth:
Hehehehe.
Hahahaha.

Elisabeth:
All right, you're dead. I was never afraid of thunder to begin with. Don't you underestimate the thunder of János Hill!

Kiyohime:
Hehehehe. I'm usually a very lenient person, but...

Kiyohime:
But with this “Elly” individual I feel... some sort of destined rivalry.

Serenity:
...Um, I would be happy if I could just sneak into Master's bed...

Mash:
That's a no! Rejected!

Serenity:
(Sob)

Elisabeth:
Don't worry, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]!

Elisabeth:
Crimson Hero Elisabeth shall protect you from this sinister, good-for-nothing trio!

All Three:
...

Ibaraki-Douji:
...Is she a genius at rubbing people the wrong way?

Nitocris:
She is an innate airhead...

Elisabeth:
Now, bring it on!

--BATTLE--

Mash:
Urgh...!

Elisabeth:
Hey, whoa! Why are they so persistent!?

Elisabeth:
They come back no matter how many times we defeat them!
They're like zombies... It's scary!

Kiyohime:
Who are you calling a zombie? Only one thing keeps this body moving, and that's love!

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
There's nothing stronger than a mother's love.
Nothing in this whole world!

Serenity:
...As I said before, I only want Master to touch me a little.

Serenity:
Like, my head or cheek...

Mash:
We can't keep this up...

Ibaraki-Douji:
Alright, now!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Go, Sogen-bi! “Great Grudge of Rashomon”!

Serenity:
Eek!

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Cursed pest...!

Kiyohime:
Flailing about is useless!

Kiyohime:
To the three of us who are used to being around lava, your attack was like a gust of refreshing wind!

Kiyohime:
...Wait, h-huh?
Master...? Where did Master go?

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
There, over there.
...Oh no, don't go that way!

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
That's hot lava! Wait right there, Mother is coming to save you!

Minamoto-no-Raikou:
Hyah!

Kiyohime:
Oh! I shall not fall behind!

Kiyohime:
Please wait for me, Master!

Serenity:
Huh? Oh, um...

Serenity:
Then me too—

Ibaraki-Douji:
Okay, now's our chance!

Mash:
Ibaraki-Douji, what did you do?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Ah, I asked Nitocris to make a Master decoy doll using her magecraft.

Nitocris:
I had the mummies make it while we fought, but I didn't think it would work...

Ibaraki-Douji:
They do say love is blind.
Heh heh! I can't believe Raikou actually fell for it!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Keheh, foolish fools!
They'll fall into the hot lava and—

Dr. Roman:
Think again! All three of them are alive and swimming merrily through it! Let's run while we can!

Ibaraki-Douji:
No way!?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Run for your life!!

Mash:
Y-Yes! Everyone, let's hurry!!

Ibaraki-Douji:
They're not even oni! How can they jump into boiling lava and still survive!?

Mash:
It's probably the power of love!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Love? Love is scary!

Section 7: "One More Chance"

Elisabeth:
We've finally made it here...

Elisabeth:
Come on, everyone, let's take out that witch in her pyramid!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Yeah!

Elisabeth:
Good answer, my little [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]!

---

Fujimaru 2:
We'll do our best.

Elisabeth:
That's what the nobility say when they don't actually want to do something!

Dr. Roman:
I'm seeing something ahead that looks like a Servant, so be careful.

Elisabeth:
I'm not scared, no matter who it is!

Elisabeth:
The journey of the Heroic Idol Elly won't end until I defeat that queen!

Elisabeth:
Now everybody, charge!

Ibaraki-Douji:
You've got fighting spirit, but not much else... I'm tired.
I can't go full power all day like Shuten.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Green man, give me some caloric fuel.
I want another chocolate.

Robin Hood:
Right, right. Take that, oni.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Fwahaha! Your pitiful attacks cannot harm me!
I am invincible! (Chomp chomp)

Nitocris:
Anyway, I'm feeling dirty from all this running around.

Nitocris:
Fujimaru, you're a Master, can't you conjure up a bathing area or two with your magecraft?

Mash:
I don't think that's possible...
Oh, I do have towels, though.

Nitocris:
Alright, I'll take one.
...Hmm. It's a little rough to the touch.

Nitocris:
Hand me an Egyptian silk one instead.
What? You don't have any?

Nitocris:
Very well. Prepare one in the castle as soon as this battle is over.

Nitocris:
Of course, a place to bathe as well.

Mash:
R-Right...

Elisabeth:

YOU GUYS AREN'T TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AT ALL!

Elisabeth:
Come on, guys! Can't you get a little more excited?

Elisabeth:
Come on, shout in unison with me, the hero!

Robin Hood:
Sure. After we win.

Elisabeth:

ARGH! Fine! Forget it!

Elisabeth:
Come on, who's our next opponent!?
Someone else from the Round Table? Bring it!

???:
...Oh?

Elisabeth:
U-Uncle...!?

Mash:
Huh? Uncle... Vlad III!?

Mash:
Huh? But he seems a little different than the person I know...

Vlad III:
Of course I am.

Vlad III:
A Servant is summoned by extracting a single aspect of a hero.

Vlad III:
I am not here as King Vlad III.
I am here as the warrior who punishes all evil.

Elisabeth:
Um, Uncle Vlad? ...Why are you glaring at me...
Is something the matter?

Vlad III:
Elisabeth Báthory!
I have come to judge you for your sins!

Elisabeth:
H-Huh!? You have!?

Vlad III:
Save your breath!

Vlad III:
Your existence is sinful... And now you shall be punished for your immorality and wickedness!

Dr. Roman:
Jeez... Count Vlad normally only gets mad when people call him a vampire, but look at him now!

Dr. Roman:
...Oh, never mind. This is the warrior Vlad–no wonder his anger threshold is so low!

Dr. Roman:
A-Anyway, prepare for combat!

Mash:
Elisabeth! Let's just fight for now!

Elisabeth:
Um, okay... Y-Yeah, you're right! We have to fight...!

--BATTLE--

Mash:
Got him... No! We didn't!
Master, we're continuing the battle!

Vlad III:
—No, we're done.
As I thought, thou does not understand.

Elisabeth:
Huh...?

Vlad III:
...Start over from the beginning once more. Otherwise, thou shall never be able to stand before that Queen.

Vlad III:
If thy wish to call thyself a hero and wear that armor, thy must first understand!

Elisabeth:
Understand what—Huh?

???:
...y.

???:
...ry.

???:
...rry.

???:
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry this is so sudden...

Elisabeth:
Huh!?

Mash:
Um... Uh...What!?

???:
I'm really sorry, but...

???:
I regret to make you do this after all the battles you've fought, but—

???:
I want you to start over from the graveyard.

???:
—Ahem.

???:
This isn't some kind of system issue.
There's a reason for it...

???:
Fujimaru, I want you to consider as a trial...

???:
Alright— I'm sorry, but I'm going to teleport you.

All:

WHY!?

Section 8: "New Game Plus"

Elisabeth:
...We've come back...

Mash:
Ignoring the fact that there's a giant Siegfried floating in the night sky...

Mash:
What could it be that Elisabeth doesn't understand?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Green man, you seem to have some idea.

Robin Hood:
Huh?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Haha. Don't play dumb.

Ibaraki-Douji:
You were the only one who had a knowing look on your face.

Robin Hood:
Oh, yeah... Probably.

Elisabeth:
What? What is it!? What don't I understand?

Robin Hood:
...Didn't you notice something about the town?

Elisabeth:
The town...? Hmm... Oh, now that you mention it...

Elisabeth:
Nobody was preparing for Halloween.
Everyone was locked up in their houses.

Mash:
Isn't that because the queen in that pyramid banned all the festivities?

Robin Hood:
No.

Robin Hood:
The lack of activity was apparent long before she even came.

Elisabeth:
...Huh?

Robin Hood:
Let me fill you in.

Robin Hood:
You were so busy getting excited for Halloween that you left all your administrative duties in the lurch!

Elisabeth:
...Oh.

Robin Hood:
Don't “Oh” me!

Robin Hood:
And because you were doing nothing as leader, the townspeople didn't know if it was okay to get ready for the festival or not!

Robin Hood:
Neither did your soldiers! They couldn't decide whether to go forward with the preparations or whether to stop them!

Robin Hood:
You were the only one who was getting excited for Halloween, basically!

Elisabeth:
Ahhhh...ahh...ahhhhh!

Nitocris:
Th-That's really bad...

Elisabeth:
...That's... So that's it...

Ibaraki-Douji:
So you alone got so swept up in Halloween fever that you forgot to order preparations to begin?

Ibaraki-Douji:
I'm in shock. How can you be a ruler if you don't care for your people?

Ibaraki-Douji:
A ruler must first ensure that their subordinates' bellies are full. Only then can the ruler eat. (Chomp chomp)

Elisabeth:
B-But I was really busy preparing for the concert...

Mash:
...There's really no excuse for what you've done...

Elisabeth:
Ugh... Wh-What should I do, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]?
Uncle Vlad was really mad!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Let's go get another scolding.

Elisabeth:
Waaaahh...

Mash:
Elisabeth, I understand how you feel, but...

Mash:
We need to go back towards that gate to see the queen anyway...

Elisabeth:
But Uncle Vlad's going to get mad again...

Nitocris:
We can't do anything about that.
But there's one way to apologize...

Nitocris:
You need to make the festival a success.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Let's make it the best Halloween ever.

Elisabeth:
The best ever...? But how?

Robin Hood:
...Well, all you have to do is tell the townspeople that Halloween's begun.

Mash:
That's right, Elisabeth!
Let's start Halloween properly!

Elisabeth:
Y-You're right!
But how...?

Robin Hood:
Hand out pumpkins, throw sweets, and have the little brats get their costumes ready.

Robin Hood:
And then get rid of the wandering ghosts drawn to the festivities.

Elisabeth:
...G-Got it!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Humph. Then make the announcement.

Elisabeth:
Huh?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Make the announcement. Tell everyone that the festival you promised them, the one with overflowing sweets, is set to begin.

Ibaraki-Douji:
As a leader, you must be capable of such a proclamation. Especially given how loud you are usually.

Elisabeth:
...You're right. I can't just lip-synch along with some recording through a mic. My pride won't allow it.

Elisabeth:
...Here I go!

Elisabeth:
This is Elisabeth Báthory, the ruler of Castle Csejte!

Elisabeth:
I'm sorry I'm laaaaaate!
But I have an announcement!

Elisabeth:
...Let the Halloween festivities commence!

Dr. Roman:
Be careful! Elisabeth's proclamation made the dead burst from the ground!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Haha! As I expected, your words made the dead scream in terror!

Ibaraki-Douji:
It's time for this Halloween thing to begin!
Come, Master!

Nitocris:
I'm seeing lots of pumpkinheads!
Let's smash them all!

Elisabeth:
Master!
I'll do my best!

Elisabeth:
This time, I will do Halloween right!

--BATTLE--

Mash:
We got a lot of pumpkins...

Nitocris:
Let's give them to the people.
This should get Halloween off to a good start.

Elisabeth:
That's right. You gotta start with a strong opening act!

Section 9: "Halloween Declaration"

Mash:
The townspeople still aren't celebrating Halloween.
I'm not sure, but they don't seem very happy.

Elisabeth:
Then let's start by making the place Halloween central! Right, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]?

---

Fujimaru 1:
How?

Elisabeth:
Huh!? Well, um...

Elisabeth:
...Once I decide something, shouldn't it just kind of happen?

Robin Hood:
No, it shouldn't! Do you think you're some kind of spoiled princess?

Nitocris:
We can't do it alone. Let's ask the townspeople for help.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Let's all do it!

Robin Hood:
Yeah. I'm with you.

Robin Hood:
We won't get anywhere unless we ask the townspeople.

Elisabeth:
...R-Right! Time to order the pigs around!

Robin Hood:
Nobody likes being called a pig. Explain to them what's going on properly. Come on, you're the ruler.

Elisabeth:
What? But my fans love it!

Elisabeth:
Even that Cock Robin chirped with joy! As its owner, that means you'd love it if I called you a pig too, right?

Robin Hood:
I've got nothing to do with that fat thing!
It just follows me everywhere!

Nitocris:
Elisabeth, you mustn't assume all humans are the same.

Nitocris:
If you want to make Halloween fun, then you must ask properly.

Elisabeth:
F-Fine...

Robin Hood:
Okay, let's split up and ask everyone we come across.

Robin Hood:
We can hand out the pumpkins at the same time.

Nitocris:
You're right. Let's reconvene here in two hours.

Robin Hood:
Okay, see you then!

Elisabeth:
Huh? Wait, where do I go?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Follow me.

Mash:
Elisabeth, come with us.

Mash:
(We wouldn't want her to say things in a weird way and cause trouble...)

Elisabeth:
Okay!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Alright, I'll sit this one out.
I'll be waiting here! (Chomp chomp)

Mash:
Looks like we're all here.

Mash:
We didn't have any luck...
Master, this is depressing...

Nitocris:
You too? ...Robin Hood, what about you?

Robin Hood:
No good. Zilch.

Robin Hood:
Still, people did seem to be looking forward to the festivities.

Mash:
Oh, yes. I agree.

Mash:
I don't think they were against Halloween per se, but they were not particularly open about any support either.

Elisabeth:
Grrr... Unforgivable! Halloween's a festival kids and adults can both enjoy, and yet...

Nitocris:
It seems that Elisabeth does not have enough respect as a ruler.

Nitocris:
Add that to the fact that the queen in the pyramid banned Halloween and it's no wonder they're not on board.

Nitocris:
...Sheesh. What kind of queen would do that to a pyramid, anyway?

Elisabeth:
Hey, what is it about me that's wrong?

H：All:
The outfit (probably).

Elisabeth:

BUT I AM A HERO!

Queen's Knight:
Halloween has been banned by—
Oh, not you people again!?

Elisabeth:
Oh, I know! Hey, you there!

Elisabeth:
What do you think when you look at me?

Queen's Knight:
What do I think?

Queen's Knight:
You should hold back on showing your skin.
It'll hurt if you get slashed.

Elisabeth:
Zero fashion sense!

Mash:
...That sound... Oh no!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Hmm? More commotion?
Well, it has nothing to do with me.

Ibaraki-Douji:
I've got this chocolate cake that the townspeople gave me to consume instead!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Heh, heheheh... It feels like a waste to even eat it... Where should my first bite be?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Gee... It looks good no matter where you begin...
Aww... Heheh. You adorable little thing...

Ibaraki-Douji:
I think I should take little nibbles from the side and—

Ibaraki-Douji:
HEY! WHAT GIVES!?

Mash:
You're...!

???:
Oh, how sad...

???:
It saddens me that the queen does not wish to see the town stained in the orange of Halloween...

Robin Hood:
Huh? What's with this pretty boy?

Tristan:
I am Tristan... Former Knight of the Round Table. Currently a Queen's Knight.

Tristan:
Call me Tristan the Tragic... Or perhaps Tristan Who Sighs And Looks Out Upon the Setting Sun...

Robin Hood:
Way too long!

???:
You're an Archer. You needn't go out ahead—

Mash:
Here's one more!

Mash:
What the... Where's he going!?

Elisabeth:
Huh? What was that?

Tristan:
Wait! Where are you—

Mysterious Black Knight:
...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!

Mash:
New enemy approaching, for sure this time!

Tristan:
What's wrong, Lanc—

Mysterious Black Knight:
SHUUUTTTTTT UPPPPPPPP!!!

Tristan:
Eh...!? Why the sudden sleeper hold!?

Tristan:
I give up! I give up! I give up!
I'm tapping out! I'm tapping out!

Mash:
They've started fighting each other!
Master, let's take them out now!

Mash:
...Um, I don't really understand why...

Mash:
...but my body is telling me that black knight needs to get mashed up...

Mash:
...just like Gawain's potato dishes!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Get him, Masherker!

Mash:
Right! Prepare to die!

---

Fujimaru 2:
D-Deep breaths!

Mash:
R-Right! Mash Kyrielight, taking deep breaths!

Mash:
In... Out... In... Out...
In... Out... In... Out...

Mash:
...Okay, ready to crush him!

Elisabeth:
She's too pumped up!

Tristan:
It's the enemy!
Th-The enemy's here! The enemy!

Mysterious Black Knight:
ENEMYYYYYYYYY!

Mash:
Now!

--BATTLE--

Mysterious Black Knight:
LOSERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

Tristan:
We lost... How sad...

Queen's Knight:
Sir Tristan and Sir Lan– I mean, the Mysterious Black Knight have been defeated!

Elisabeth:
Anyway! This town is going to celebrate Halloween!
I won't allow any complaints!

Elisabeth:
That goes for you guys too.
Here, wear these and go celebrate!

Queen's Knight:
A jack-o'-lantern? Uh, wait, let me at least remove my helm—

Elisabeth:
Save it.

Nitocris:
Those knights ran away crying...

Robin Hood:
Probably because you cursed those pumpkins with your Egyptian magecraft or what have you. They'll never come off now.

Elisabeth:
Thank you, Nitocris!

Nitocris:
...Well, it is Halloween after all.
Anyway, Elisabeth.

Nitocris:
Now the townspeople can prepare for the festivities without having to be afraid of the queen.

Elisabeth:
That's true!
Okay, everyone! We drove all the knights away!

Elisabeth:
Feel safe to openly celebrate Halloween!

Mysterious Black Knight:
GOOOOOOOOOD...

Tristan:
You seem quite happy, considering we lost...

Tristan:
Still, I'm glad too.

Tristan:
She matures fast... I was so sure it would've taken at least ten years...

Mysterious Black Knight:
QUEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Tristan:
Yes. Now she has won the right to face the queen.

Tristan:
Now it's a question of whether or not she can surpass her. This is something we must see with our own eyes.

Mysterious Black Knight:
ESCAAAAAAAAAAAPE!

Tristan:
Yes, let's take flight. Quietly now.

Robin Hood:
Hey, they're fleeing!

Tristan:
Easy.

Nitocris:
How rude...!

Nitocris:
The vanquished should hang their heads and await punishment!

Nitocris:
Surround them, Medjed!

Tristan:
How sad... But naturally, a knight never gives up!
Not until he draws his last breath!

Tristan:
The game is not over until the whistle blows...!

Mysterious Black Knight:
WINNERRRRRRRRRRR!

Tristan:
Now, let us escape!

Ibaraki-Douji:
...So, it was you.

Tristan:
Step aside, young one. You're clearly not one of us.

Tristan:
As you can see, I am the embodiment of chivalrous ideals, dreams, and realities. I would never lay a hand on a woman.

Tristan:
That holds true even for non-humans like you. In fact, if you were a decade or so older, I would have liked to have dinner with you.

Tristan:
...However, given the murderous look on your face, I shall use an Evade skill on myself. Just to be safe.

Ibaraki-Douji:
That wind-cutting bow of yours...
So you're the scumbag responsible!

Ibaraki-Douji:
“Great Grudge of Rashomon”!

Tristan:
Oh my...! A Noble Phantasm that removes buffs...
How awful!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Here's another one for you!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Go, Sogen-bi! You're going to pay for what you did to my cake!

Ibaraki-Douji:
“Great Grudge of Rashomon”! Raaarrrrgh!

Tristan:
Two in a row! How... agile...

Mysterious Black Knight:
STUUUUUPIIIIIIIID!!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Hm, not good. I should have sent them flying the opposite way.

Nitocris:
They went flying towards the pyramid.
...It's like we set them free ourselves.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Th-Things like that happen in battle, you know.
It's not my fault!

---

Fujimaru 1:
(In Shuten's ASMR voice) Oh, but it is.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Eeeeeek! Shuten!?
Shuten, I–Why yooou...!!

Mash:
Amazing, Master. That impression was not good at all, but it had an intensity to it.

---

Fujimaru 2:
(In Shuten's ASMR voice) All your fault, Ibaraki. How sad...

Ibaraki-Douji:
Nyafu!?
...Huh, Shuten? No? Where'd she go?

Ibaraki-Douji:
...Why you...! What trickery is this!?

Mash:
There, there, Ibaraki. Calm down.

Elisabeth:
Anyway, this town has been liberated!

Elisabeth:
Even if the queen tries to stop the festivities, there's no way they ever will!

Elisabeth:
Ahh, the world is filled with the happiness of Halloween...! It makes me want to burst out singing!

Robin Hood:
Let's not do that. We'll just get sent back to the starting point again.

Elisabeth:
Why's that!?

Mash:
...Oh? The children...

H：Child:
Yayyy, trick or treat!

Mash:
Oh, m-me!? I'm sorry...
I don't have any candy...

H：Child:
Then trick it is!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Yes, trick!

Mash:
Master, you too!?

Fou:
Fou!

Mash:
Fou just gave them the sesame buns that the doctor was hiding!

H：Child:
Yay, sweets!

Mash:
...Phew. You saved me, Fou.

Fou:
Fou fou.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Hrmm, hrmm. (Om nom nom)

Ibaraki-Douji:
Hey, it's not enough.
And I'm tired of this flavor already.

Ibaraki-Douji:
I want something a little more like confectionery!

Mash:
Oh, I'm sorry.
How about these macarons then...?

Ibaraki-Douji:
What are these?
They look great! Such vibrant colors!

Ibaraki-Douji:
And this texture... They're soft, but solid enough to be broken apart... Ah! They're all mushy inside!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Oh, wait. What's this? They have different flavors and colors!? Matcha! Chestnut! Strawberry! Pistachio!

Ibaraki-Douji:
It's like a kaleidoscope of sweets!

Dr. Roman:
Yeah, kids love macarons...
No wonder they hit the spot for Ibaraki-Douji...

H：Child:
Halloween's so fun!

H：Mother:
Yes it is, very fun.

H：Father:
Look, it's a pumpkin monster!

Mash:
...

Mash:
It's finally starting to feel like Halloween.
Right, Master?

---

Fujimaru 1:
This is how it should be.

Mash:
Exactly!

Nitocris:
To properly hold and run a festival is also the job of a pharaoh.

Nitocris:
I hope that child begins to understand that soon.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Halloween sure is fun.

Robin Hood:
Well, people need to take breaks at times. Although as a person coming from the forest, I hate rowdy places.

Ibaraki-Douji:
You say that, but I know you're secretly handing out candy to the kids.

Robin Hood:
What!? But I never sensed your eyes on me!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Kahahaha, I disguised myself as a child and received some too!

Robin Hood:
Have you no shame...?

Ibaraki-Douji:
Humph, call me clever, you spineless candyman.
I just have a different sense of pride, that is all.

Elisabeth:
Now let's go pay the queen a visit! My concert will—No, never mind. The concert is also important, but...

Elisabeth:
But most of all, in order for everyone to enjoy Halloween, we need to take her out!

Fou:
Fou...

Mash:
I kind of understand what you're trying to say, Fou.

Mash:
Even as a Heroic Spirit stopped in time, one can still understand and learn something new.

Nitocris:
...That is true.

Nitocris:
Even if it is like a single night's dream, the experience will not have been in vain.

Nitocris:
Mash Kyrielight.

Mash:
Yes?

Nitocris:
...I'm sorry, it's nothing. It doesn't seem like you need my words of advice.

Mash:
H-Huh...?

Nitocris:
Now, let us go. And let us face that gatekeeper once more.

Elisabeth:
...By the way, maybe one song wouldn't hurt before we go...?

H：All:
ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Section 10: "Pumpkin Harvest! Part 1"

Elisabeth:
There's another pumpkin here!
It's harvesting time!

Mash:
Can you really call it harvesting if it's just taking pumpkins off their heads?

Section 11: "Pumpkin Harvest! Part 2"

Nitocris:
There's even pumpkins in my cave...!
Let's slay them right away.

Nitocris:
My apologies, Elisabeth, but this cave does not need any Halloween decorations!

Nitocris:
The reason is... Yes, the reason is...

Nitocris:
...jack-o'-lanterns have too much overlap with the Medjed design!

--BATTLE--

Elisabeth:
All right, that'll do for today.
We'll harvest more pumpkins tomorrow!

Section 12: "Pumpkin Harvest! Part 3"

Elisabeth:
It's freezing, so run through as fast you can!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Right. I love the feeling of a cold piece of chocolate melting in my mouth, but it's so cold my teeth will break over it!

Section 13: "Pumpkin Harvest! Part 4"

Mash:
...It seems those three aren't here.

---

Fujimaru 1:
Let's hurry!

Ibaraki-Douji:
R-Right. I don't know what they'll do now that they figured out they were tricked, and I don't want to know!

Section 14: "Let's Sing a Song"

Elisabeth:
...Um, uh...
Trick or treat, Uncle Vlad!

Vlad III:
I can hear the festival... Did you yourself realize why I was angry, or did someone bring it to your attention?

Vlad III:
If the former, then you show some promise.

Vlad III:
If the latter, then they showed you sympathy.

Vlad III:
The verdict looks only at the results. If the people were satisfied, then you have the right to proceed.

Elisabeth:
Uncle Vlad!

Vlad III:
However, in this form I am especially strict with you.

Vlad III:
You have committed many sins...

Vlad III:
One of which I, having become a Heroic Spirit, simply cannot ignore.

Vlad III:
...I won't say to atone for it with death.
For there is no way to atone.

Elisabeth:
...!

Vlad III:
As a king, I demonstrate magnanimity while I suffer within. But as a warrior, I shall never show mercy toward wickedness.

Vlad III:
You... Evil killer who committed depraved acts, toyed with the citizens, and thought it only natural to be ignorant...

Vlad III:
Your sins are a nightmare from which no one can wake, even after 100 years. What you have done is committed a crime engraved in history.

Vlad III:
It is time you return to the darkness where no one can venture. I shall slaughter every last one of you.

--BATTLE--

Vlad III:
...I would have never thought my skill with a lance would come up short against a fictional creature–a vampire.

Vlad III:
I must be the one who is unworthy.

Elisabeth:
U-Um... Uncle Vlad?

Vlad III:
You have no right to call me that. You should refer to me as “uncle” when I'm summoned as king.

Vlad III:
I told you before. Each different aspect of a particular hero manifests as its own distinct Servant.

Vlad III:
Like what has happened with me here, now.

Elisabeth:
But, but even so... you're still Uncle Vlad.

Elisabeth:
...Even though you may hate me.

Elisabeth:
Even though I may have done things that are unforgivable.

Vlad III:
You have indeed. You committed a sin... though the world may not consider it that way.

Vlad III:
That sin is not even engraved upon your Spirit Origin. After all, that world has been forgotten.

Vlad III:
...But I shall never forget.

Vlad III:
You denied the final integrity of my light, my wife, my love.

Vlad III:
For her sake, I will not forgive you.
Even if she herself may have...

Elisabeth:
...

Mash:
Elisabeth...

Robin Hood:
...I see. I somewhat recall it too.
Man, humanity being in a state of flux is a nuisance.

Robin Hood:
That Vlad III and Elisabeth had a bit of a history together.

Robin Hood:
This isn't about who's right and who's wrong.

Robin Hood:
The World isn't concerned by human values like virtue. It will just adopt whatever means are useful to guarantee the continuation of its existence.

Robin Hood:
Whether it's a young lady who tries to atone for her grave sins, even if she knows no shame...

Robin Hood:
...or the conviction of a gentleman who won't accept any kind of atonement, but just seeks to punish every evil act... The World considers them equally sinful.

Dr. Roman:
...Right. They're the same, so it will choose the one that's more effective–even someone evil, if it means preserving humanity.

Dr. Roman:
If humanity's preservation isn't wished for, they won't be allowed to be summoned as a Heroic Spirit. Even if they stand for righteousness.

Dr. Roman:
But if that's the case, it means even Vlad III wishes for the preservation of humanity.

Dr. Roman:
After all, he was summoned as a Servant this time.

Ibaraki-Douji:
...I think you're right. I hate humans.
I don't like them and I don't trust them.

Ibaraki-Douji:
That being said, I have no intention of destroying their world. After all, humans are useful for a number of things.

Ibaraki-Douji:
I exist because humans, my enemies, exist. In a world without humans, neither Shuten nor I would be summoned.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Isn't that true, Red Horns?
No matter how many sins you've committed...

Ibaraki-Douji:
No one can reject your being here right now. As long as you don't wish for “nothingness,” you'll be a Heroic Spirit like the rest of us.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Of course, as an Anti-Hero... A sacrifice whose role is to lose to the Heroic Spirits.

Elisabeth:
...You're right. Thanks, Ibaraki.
I'm grateful.

Elisabeth:
Now then... Sorry for making you wait, [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet].
Come! To the final battle with the queen!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Yeah, let's go!

Elisabeth:
Nice reaction!
Thank you, Fujimaru!

Elisabeth:
After we take the castle back, I'll let you help me prepare for my concert!

Mash:
Ah, Master's face suddenly went pale.

---

Fujimaru 2:
I'll follow you anywhere, Elly!

Elisabeth:
Heh... It makes my heart flutter to be called a pet name by a fan...!

Elisabeth:
All right, I'll specially reserve a front-row seat for you at my concert!

Dr. Roman:
What's wrong!?

Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru is displaying signs of being in an incredibly agitated mental state...!

Elisabeth:

Why!?

???:
Mmmm, don't tell me they really made it!?
Were my countermeasures too flimsy!?

???:
No, no, calm down. Calm down.
Everyone makes mistakes. I'm no exception.

???:
Rather, a beautiful queen is the only one allowed to make careless mistakes. Paradoxically, those mistakes are what make her a queen in the first place!

???:
Yes, that's right. That proves I'm not at fault here. Therefore...

???:
Rise, you useless loser knights!
Next up is an all-out war.

???:
The time has come to make it clear who's best suited to rule this land!

???:
I too... have a wish, and to make it come true, I shall continue being the queen!

???:
That is the agreement I made with that person!

Section 15: "Trick or Treat!"

Tristan:
Welcome. Thank you for coming.

Elisabeth:
Hey, it's the knights that ran away.

Tristan:
That depends on how you look at it.
Things must be observed from up high...

Tristan:
This is called a “bird's-eye view.” It looked like I was about to lose, so I, Tristan the Sad, threw the match.

Tristan:
In other words, by giving up on winning, I avoided defeat. I am a quick-witted man almost to the point of sadness...

Mash:
That is certainly sad, in every sense of the word...

Mysterious Black Knight:
FWWWWUUUUUUUUUU...

Mash:
Master, I have a strange feeling about that black knight. Trying to whistle but not quite getting it and whatnot.

Mash:
We should focus on taking them out right here...
Or perhaps we could just have a nice, long chat...

---

Fujimaru 1:
W-Will you be okay?

Mash:
...Yes. Either way, that black knight is our enemy.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Mash, relax.

Mash:
I'm fine. I'm calm right now! Now, let's fight!

Tristan:
(Oh, how terrible... That seemingly gentle girl has the menacing look of an executioner.)

Tristan:
(What did you do to make her hate you so much?)

Mysterious Black Knight:
(I'm sorry... But I don't remember. I think it's some sort of misunderstanding. She'll calm down soon enough.)

Tristan:
(Really...? So it's not dangerous?
As in something that would end up involving me?)

Mysterious Black Knight:
(N-No, it's nothing, probably.)

Tristan:
Good to know. Ahem.
Her Majesty awaits. This way, please.

Elisabeth:
We finally get to see her...
[♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet], get psyched.

Elisabeth:
Don't get fooled by her unorthodox attitude and appearance.

Elisabeth:
Inside there's a nastiness boiling up like a poisonous stew!

Nitocris:
Do you know her True Name?

Elisabeth:
Nope, not at all!

Nitocris:
...Well, given that there's a pyramid, it must be someone who has something to do with me.

Nitocris:
...Let me double-check. She really is a queen, right?

Nitocris:
Because I'll be forced to surrender if it turns out to be some extravagant man with eyes like the sun and a beautiful voice...

Elisabeth:
Don't worry. She's a woman for sure.
Just her true nature is different.

Elisabeth:
I may be a dragon, but she's a snake–a fiercely venomous one at that!

C：???:
I see you haven't learned anything from your two defeats. How dare you come here, you little lizard!

C：???:
I fail to understand how you are so pathetic, but I shall praise you for surviving this hell twice!

C：???:
But you are still merely a girl crazy about Halloween! To someone tempered by the hot desert sand like myself, you—

C：???:
...Am I seeing things? Is there one less of you? ...Wait. You look stronger than before!

Elisabeth:
Heh, for you to notice that...
That's some observation you got there.

Elisabeth:
Yes, I was born once more through a Palingenesis-like process from the humiliation of having everything taken from me, and my own self-denial...

Elisabeth:
I am the muscle-based idol that has become a Saber-class Servant, Elisabeth Báthory (Brave)!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Oh I get it now...! (At last)

Robin Hood:
That's right. Everyone just kept quiet.

Nitocris:
Really? I honestly thought she was a salamander Heroic Spirit...

Elisabeth:
I'm not a fire lizard! I'm a female hero! A noble heroine blessed by a dragon! Someone who never sings out of tune!

---

Fujimaru 2:
You just came up with that on the spot, didn't you?

Elisabeth:
...Hehe. I've actually been thinking about it for a while, just didn't have a chance to say it.

C：???:
Are you done yet? Eyes back on me!

C：???:
Ahem. Anyway, you've done well to make your way here, heroes! I shall praise you for your spirit!

---

Fujimaru 1:
So beautiful...!

C：???:
Heh. I'm tired of hearing that, but thank you!
It's good to be honest!

---

Fujimaru 2:
...!

C：???:
Indeed. A beauty so great you would lose your words. That is I!

C：???:
If you understand, then bow to the ground until you bang your head! I'll also allow you to take photos of me, this time only!

Tristan:
Bow before Her Majesty. You're not going to listen to me anyway, but...

C：???:
Don't just tell them without even meaning it, you dumb dodo! You do nothing but fail!

C：???:
It's your own incompetence that has allowed them to come this far! As punishment, do a handstand over there!

C：???:
But don't stop playing the harp!

Tristan:
So sad... So backbreaking. But if Her Majesty commands it, I must obey.

Elisabeth:
You can actually do it!?

C：???:
Also...

Mysterious Black Knight:
...

C：???:
It seems that the current situation is punishment enough for Sir Anonymous here. Very well, I will let him off the hook.

Mash:
No, I think it's only fair that he gets punished too. Specifically, he has to take off his helmet or show us his face.

Mysterious Black Knight:
...!!!

Elisabeth:
Umm... Mash...?
You're acting kinda scary...

Mash:
R-Really?

Mash:
Sorry... When I look at that indecisive black knight, my heart becomes as jagged as a Saint Quartz...

C：???:
So you get irritated. That was a nice way to put it.

C：???:
I completely understand how you feel, but have your fight elsewhere.

C：???:
It's a drag, but first I have my duty as a ruler.

C：???:
Elisabeth Báthory, the fact that you've made it here means you finally understand, yes?

Elisabeth:
...Yes.

Elisabeth:
I got too excited over the Halloween concert and neglected my duties as ruler.

Elisabeth:
...I was too immature to rule over the common pigs.

C：???:
Yes, it is pure stupidity for those who stand on top to seek something other than being at the top!

C：???:
To be served you need a reason to be served.
Or you need fervor!

C：???:
That reason may be that you're as beautiful as the heavens. It could be that you wield power, even though you're hideous.

Elisabeth:
Oh, that stings... I'm as beautiful as the heavens, but I chose the life of an idol...

C：???:
No, I'm the beautiful one.
You're the powerful one.

C：???:
You said it yourself just a second ago. You're the muscle-based idol, Lowland Gorilla Báthory.

Elisabeth:
I didn't say that! Only the Báthory part is right!

C：???:
Now that you mention it, you're right, but who cares about the small things! We're having an important discussion right now!

Elisabeth:
That's my line! I've never had so much trouble talking to someone before!

Elisabeth:
Just who are you?!

Elisabeth:
You act like some sort of model, but what Heroic Spirit are you?!

C：???:
Isn't it obvious? A queen who rules with beauty!
Whose name is synonymous with beauty!

C：???:
If you asked a hundred people who that queen is, they would all tell you my name!

C：???:
Yes, my name!
My beautiful name is...!

---

Fujimaru 1:
Well, that'd be Cleopatra.

---

Fujimaru 2:
Obviously, Cleopatra.

Elisabeth:
Seriously?! You mean that Paris Fashion Week girl is Queen Cleopatra...!?

Cleopatra:
Ohohohoho. Even a girl with the bare minimum of nobility like you knows my name.

Cleopatra:
Then I shall ask again.
Can you compete against my beauty?

Elisabeth:
...This is bad. When it comes to whose Heroic Spirit is more beautiful, she has the upper hand...

Elisabeth:
No matter how you look at it, my style is more modern, but I can't beat her brand reputation...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Modern?

---

Fujimaru 2:
Style?

Elisabeth:
What, are you saying my bikini armor is old-school!?
It's totally modern! Right!?

Nitocris:
Yes, I think that outfit is good. It would make perfect sense in Ancient Egypt.

Elisabeth:
I know, right? Finally somebody from Egypt gets me!

Robin Hood:
To me you both look the sa—No, never mind.

Robin Hood:
But, well, in terms of looking dignified, the queen over there is on a different level. Her self-confidence has no limits.

Ibaraki-Douji:
I don't know what to say. My standards of beauty are different from humans' to begin with.

Ibaraki-Douji:
That being said... Hahahahaha!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Master! Master! She has an ulterior motive, and a malicious one at that.

Ibaraki-Douji:
Like she'll bite you or tear you up if you get close.
Well, I guess for a demon, that's pretty beautiful!

Cleopatra:
Hmm... You're not human, huh?
Then it makes sense you can't understand me.

Cleopatra:
And also...

Nitocris:
...

Cleopatra:
You...

Nitocris:
Quiet, Cleopatra. I simply ended up on this side by chance this time.

Nitocris:
I am just a normal Caster, a mage. You just need to live up to your beliefs without wavering.

Cleopatra:
...Yes.

Cleopatra:
So, Elisabeth, let me ask you again.
Do you intend to compete with my beauty?

Cleopatra:
Ha...hahahaha! Ohohoho! No way, that would be impossible! That's not even a contest!

Cleopatra:
If you're a woman, then you know there's nothing more terrifying than being judged based on your beauty!

Cleopatra:
I am the world-renowned Cleopatra!
That contest would only make you lose face...

Elisabeth:
Huh? I can compete.

Cleopatra:
...What was that?

Elisabeth:
It's true that if we're just talking how our bodies look, my physical age might put me at a very slight disadvantage...

Elisabeth:
In any event, diversification is in right now. There are more standards of beauty now than there were in the past. Espeeeeecially...

Elisabeth:
Yes! What about cuteness?
I sing, dance, and smile for my pig fans!

Elisabeth:
That's something only an idol like me can do! And something a queen, who is served on every day, cannot!

Cleopatra:
In other words, you're not someone that rules over others...

Elisabeth:
That's right! Your Majesty, I challenge you to a duel!
As an idol!

Elisabeth:
Oh, and of course I'll take up the reins of government. An idol can rule just fine.

Cleopatra:
How dare you... How dare you...
You have no idea how mad your proposal makes me...!

Cleopatra:
Beauty is born from intelligence.
Thus, ruling is carried out through beauty...!

Cleopatra:
Ruling over the masses merely because you're “cute”...
As a queen, I won't allow such happy-go-lucky attitudes!

Mash:
(I kind of get why Cleopatra is mad...)

Robin Hood:
(No, Elisabeth is just that selfish. After all, she's an Anti-Hero...someone who's been making mistakes her whole life.)

Elisabeth:
I'm an idol, and the mistress of Castle Csejte!

Elisabeth:
Servants get summoned as Lancers, Casters, and so on, right?

Elisabeth:
Just like Uncle Vlad accepted me for who I am and didn't forgive me—

Elisabeth:
I'm greedy, prideful, and selfish.
That's why both versions of me are important!

Elisabeth:
I won't give up on either one!

Cleopatra:
So you're not going to give up...on either of you?
This is why regional rulers are so annoying...!

Cleopatra:
Very well, we'll see just how long you can keep that attitude. I'll test you!

Cleopatra:
...At the end of the day, you're just spouting nonsense! Drown in the beauty of Cleopatra...and die!

--BATTLE--

Tristan:
...Splendid. This is different than before.
A complete defeat...

Tristan:
Ha... Excellent. Truly excellent.
A splended defeat is quite exhilarating.

Mysterious Black Knight:
(I'm not sure about that...
I feel like we fought for nothing...!)

Cleopatra:
...I can't believe it. I didn't think I would lose...

Elisabeth:
The match is over! You're going to give me back Castle Csejte!

Elisabeth:
And do something about this pyramid!
Actually, don't bring this kind of stuff in here!

Cleopatra:
...That's... kind of difficult...

Elisabeth:
What?

Cleopatra:
...Well, I'm not the one who brought this pyramid here.

Elisabeth:
Then who dropped this annoying thing on my castle?!

Cleopatra:
Well...

G：???:
IT WAS ME!

Elisabeth:
Who are you!?

Nitocris:
Th-That voice...!?

Nitocris:
It can't be?! It couldn't, could it!?

Ozymandias:
If you want to know who I am, I shall answer.
I am Ozymandias, the king who rules the sun!!

Ozymandias:
Hahahaha! Cleopatra!
They've completely crushed you!

Cleopatra:
H-How embarrassing! As someone who holds the name of pharaoh, I have fallen hard...!

Cleopatra:
I cannot bear any additional embarrassment.
Please sever my head!

Elisabeth:
I don't want you making a bloody mess here!
We're going to decorate for Halloween!

Ozymandias:
Yes. Just as that thin girl over there says.
We need to decorate this castle now.

Ozymandias:
Your blood would ruin the festival. Your punishment will be to sit there and take your shame!

Cleopatra:
Yes, Your Majesty!

Dr. Roman:
Ozymandias... In other words, Ramesses II! To think someone so important would show up in this weird Singularity...!

Dr. Roman:
It's like an adult showing up to a kid's event, you know!?

Ozymandias:
Adults have fun, too. Grown-ups enjoy this kind of levity!

Ozymandias:
But that's why you should not worry.
I will not fight.

Ozymandias:
Cleopatra was ruling over this pyramid, and was defeated by you.

Nitocris:
I would have never thought Your Majesty... If you had given me word... I wouldn't have joined their side...

Ozymandias:
Heh. Don't say that, Nitocris.
I told Cleopatra to keep her mouth shut.

Nitocris:
I-I'm not displeased at all!
My apologies for slipping my tongue!

Elisabeth:
...Umm, I'm not really following what you guys are saying. Why are people from Egypt here?

Both:
HOW DISRESPECTFUL!

Elisabeth:
Whyaun!?

Elisabeth:
I can't help it! I don't know if I'm being disrespectful!
I don't know what's going on!

Robin Hood:
That's right. You guys really have no connection to this place whatsoever, so why are you here?

Ozymandias:
Umph, No Face King of the Forest.

Ozymandias:
...Very well. It's no fun just seeing you all rack your brains.

Ozymandias:
Then I shall ask you. Does anyone know the final moments of this woman, Cleopatra?

Cleopatra:
...

Mash:
Y-Yes.

Mash:
They say she committed suicide after her husband Antonius, general of the Roman army...

Mash:
...lost to Augustus in the naval battle of Actium and later died.

Ozymandias:
That's right. The Ptolemaic Kingdom quickly collapsed and the country disappeared.

Ozymandias:
Leaving her as the last pharaoh.

Cleopatra:
...

Ozymandias:
And thus, she has avoided wishing for anything, and refused to be summoned as a Servant until now.

Mash:
...What do you mean?

Ozymandias:
She has a personal desire.

Ozymandias:
And it's something that won't come true unless she participates in a Holy Grail War as a Servant.

Ozymandias:
But it's not a wish as a pharaoh. It's a selfish desire you could find anywhere on the streets.

Ozymandias:
She feels so responsible for the destruction of her country that she has locked it away in her heart.

Ozymandias:
Thinking that someone that has done what she did should not be allowed to have a wish!

Ozymandias:
But I don't think it's something to be suffering over for a thousand or so years, so I gave her an opportunity.

Ozymandias:
To rule this upside-down pyramid as queen...

Ozymandias:
...Until Halloween ends.

Ozymandias:
And had she done that, I would have granted her wish with the Holy Grail I was given.

Mash:
A Holy Grail...!?

Ozymandias:
And then you lost. You have no objections.
Right, Cleopatra?

Cleopatra:
...Correct.

Cleopatra:
I realized that it's wrong for someone like me to hope for something.

Ozymandias:
I see, and so you're going to suppress that wish and turn your back on it for the rest of eternity, then!?

Cleopatra:
That is the least I can do to atone for destroying my country.

Elisabeth:
...

Mash:
...

Nitocris:
...

Ozymandias:
...Heh.

Cleopatra:
?

Ozymandias:
Hahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!!
That's your answer!?

Ozymandias:
Ridiculous! Anubis would be holding his belly laughing, I imagine! Did you hear that, thin girl?!

Elisabeth:
I told you to call me Elisabeth! Or if you want to be more friendly, Elly is also good!

Ozymandias:
Huh. I see. In that case, Elly, or whatever, if you have something to say, you should say it now!

Ozymandias:
I appreciate that ridiculous arrogance of yours!

Mash:
Did you just say Elly!?

Elisabeth:
Then I'll say it.

Elisabeth:
Umm... You know, Cleopatra...
You're an...

Elisabeth:
IDIOT!

Elisabeth:
Aren't you?

Cleopatra:
What...!?

Elisabeth:
Didn't I tell you? That I would be both an idol and a ruler!?

Elisabeth:
You can be a pha... pharaoh? and have a personal desire at the same time!

Elisabeth:
Take part in a bunch of Holy Grail Wars, and do your best to get it granted!

Elisabeth:
Why can't you do the things that I can do?

Elisabeth:
You can do it right? I bet you could do it while you dance gracefully even.

Cleopatra:
That's...!

Elisabeth:
I don't want to say this, but...

Elisabeth:
I got all excited about being an idol, I forgot about Halloween, so you might have ruled a bit... better, maybe.

Elisabeth:
You can have your own personal desires!

Cleopatra:
...Are you sure...
I don't know if I can—

Elisabeth:
It's fine! You think so too, right [♂ Puppy /♀ Deerlet]?

Ozymandias:
Humanity's final Master, Fujimaru!
You look like you want to say something.

Ozymandias:
It's fine! Finish her off!
Don't hold back and tell her!

---

Fujimaru 1:
You can be selfish.

Cleopatra:
Selfish...

Cleopatra:
...You're right.
I've wanted to be, this entire time.

---

Fujimaru 2:
You do you, Cleopatra.

Cleopatra:
Be...myself...
You're right.

Cleopatra:
That's what I've been trying to be this whole time, but...

Cleopatra:
At some point, all I could think about was being a pharaoh...

Cleopatra:
Sun King, Ozymandias.
Incarnation of Horus, Queen Nitocris.

Cleopatra:
Please forgive me. From this day forth, I will accept myself for who I am, and not just be a pharaoh.

Nitocris:
I forgive you. Become the strength needed for those that follow you. Act like the name you have carved into history.

Ozymandias:
I too grant forgiveness. Have the name of Cleopatra shine brightly, arrogantly, and proudly!

Cleopatra:
...Fujimaru.

Cleopatra:
My name is Cleopatra VII.
A former pharaoh.

Cleopatra:
From this day forward, I will answer the summons as a Heroic Spirit and protect human history.

Cleopatra:
When that happens, I will use this beautiful face, this voice, this body to be an Assassin class Servant.

Cleopatra:
In other words... My glory is wasted on you.
Give it up and resign yourself to it!

---

Fujimaru 1:
I'd welcome you any time!

Cleopatra:
...

Cleopatra:
Th-That was a good answer, Fujimaru! You've been wonderful this far. Now you just need to rest!

Elisabeth:
All right. Everything's good now!

Ibaraki-Douji:
Mhh. So is everything done here? (Crunch, crunch)

Mash:
Ibaraki-Douji... Slow down when you eat.
There will be plenty of candy once Halloween begins.

Ibaraki-Douji:
I'm not eating. I'm not eating any candy.

Elisabeth:
...So what was that selfish wish, anyway?

Cleopatra:
Th-That...

Nitocris:
I've never heard of your wish.
Would you tell us, if you don't mind?

Cleopatra:
Yes, if that's what you want, Your Majesty.
My wish... Well, I have several, but...

Cleopatra:
I'd like to see the man I loved one more time. I don't really want to get back together with him, but...

Cleopatra:
I still remember...

Cleopatra:
The day he whispered sweet nothings into my ear while holding me in his slender but strong arms...

Cleopatra:
His chiseled features, his cheek bones ever so tempting... And he was so sincere...

Cleopatra:
Yes... I'd like to see my Caesar again...!

Mash:
...

Fou:
...

Robin Hood:
...

Nitocris:
...

Ozymandias:
...

Elisabeth:
...

Mysterious Black Knight:
...

Tristan:
...

Ibaraki-Douji:
What happened?
Has the last boss made their appearance?

---

Fujimaru 1:
Everyone, emergency huddle.

Mash:
Master...

Elisabeth:
This is bad. She's talking about THAT Caesar, right?

Mash:
Yes, Caesar, one of the three least trustworthy Servants in Chaldea, and almost always the mastermind behind everything.

Dr. Roman:
...By the way, this is what Chaldea's Caesar looks like.

Ozymandias:
...!

Nitocris:
Gahgh!?

Mash:
...They both passed out.

Mash:
Oh no. It looks like King Ozymandias is holding his stomach and trying to hold back his laughter...

Robin Hood:
Yeah, it's quite a shock to see Caesar for the first time...

---

Fujimaru 1:
Should we tell her the truth?

Mash:
...I don't think we should...
We would be destroying her dream...

Elisabeth:
...But we should tell her someday.

Tristan:
How sad... People change...
They say aging isn't ugly, but...

Tristan:
...This goes beyond aging...
Please forget this song...

Tristan:
This is definitely a severe case of stress eating...
Oh, how sad...

Tristan:
I have only seen this level of stress in Agravain...

Fou:
Fou...

Cleopatra:
You look like you're having fun over there!
Let me join in too!

Cleopatra:
And why are the great pharaohs collapsed on the floor like they had a sudden stomach ache or something!?

Mash:
H-Hold on a second!

Dr. Roman:
Huh? What's wrong?
Did you call me? Want me to answer?

Dr. Roman:
W-Wait. Hold on!
Don't just Rayshift without my permi—

Mash:
Doctor?
Doctor...!?

Mash:
H-He really did Rayshift...!

Elisabeth:
This is bad!
That means...!

???:
VENI!

Cleopatra:
...!
This voice...!

Mash:
Oh... He really did come...

???:
VIDI!

Cleopatra:
My Caesar...!?
To think I can meet you again at last!

Cleopatra:
I-I need a mirror.
Does anyone have a mirror!?

Cleopatra:
Is my makeup running? We were just fighting after all!
Is it okay? Is it okay!?

???:
Now all I have to do is show myself!

Cleopatra:
My Cae—

Caesar:
IT IS I!

Cleopatra:
WHAT!?

Caesar:
Hahaha. It's been a while, Cleopatra. Hmm? I guess this is the first time meeting each other as Servants.

Cleopatra:
...

Cleopatra:
...

Cleopatra:
... (THUD)

Mash:
Yeah, I thought so...

Ibaraki-Douji:
I guess she couldn't accept reality and escaped it by fainting...

Ibaraki-Douji:
Humans are frail beings. They should just be positive as long as they have something to strive for.

Mash:
Oh, a Holy Grail fragment came out.
I'm going to collect it.

Cleopatra:
...Uuugh... Round... I saw something round...
Rolling... Rolling around... Uuuugh...

Elisabeth:
...I can't tell her to leave with the pyramid right now...

Elisabeth:
Let's have her rest here until her emotional scars heal.

Mash:
Once Halloween starts, she might calm down a little bit too.

Mash:
Yes, let's all have a very fun Halloween for her sake too!

Caesar:
Very well!
So who should I trick—I mean, persuade?

Caesar:
I haven't made much of an appearance lately!
My wit is so sharp right now, it's on par with a Lancer!

Mash:
You should stay away until Cleopatra's emotional scars heal...

Fou:
Fou...
