Atalante
Smile of the Goddess
Atalante:
Master, I need to talk to you.
Atalante:
You see, I want to go out to sea.
There's something that I left on that Island.
Atalante:
If it's no problem, I'd like to leave now–
Mash:
We're lucky we have a ship, but what did you leave behind?
Atalante:
Oh, a statue of Artemis–the Lunar goddess.
Atalante:
I made it by hand, but I couldn't take it with me during the battle.
Mash:
I see.
Atalante:
We were born from the gods, and they give us power.
We must never fail to be grateful.
Atalante:
...Well, despite their great power, some of them can be a little strange.
Atalante:
It's their charm point, and their weakness.
Dr. Roman:
Yeah, you've had a rough time because of it–
Atalante:
There should be a cave on the other side of this forest.
Let's go.
Atalante:
...The stench of animals. Mash, ready your weapon–
and prepare for combat.
Mash:
Right!
Mash:
This is–a chimera!
Atalante:
A demonic beast left behind in this world...
Its luck ran out when it met a hunter, though.
Atalante:
I will make good use of its meat and pelt.
--BATTLE--:
Atalante:
What a headache...
Let's keep going.
Mash:
Are we almost at the cave?
Atalante:
Yeah...Okay, this is the entrance.
Let's go.
Atalante:
...Hey, Master, do you have any wishes for the Grail?
Fujimaru 1:
Not really.
Atalante:
Hmm.
I see...
Atalante:
Well, given the state of the world that makes sense, I guess.
Atalante:
But the Grail's power is omnipotent.
Perhaps you should come up with a wish.
Fujimaru 2:
To restore the world.
Atalante:
...Hmph. That's exactly the right wish.
But it's also the wrong answer.
Atalante:
When you get the Grail, that wish should come true on its own.
Atalante:
A greedy answer isn't necessarily the wrong one.
Keep that in mind.
Atalante:
...To tell the truth, I have a wish of my own.
It's a simple wish, and I know it will never come true–
Atalante:
But I still can't give up on it.
That's why I pray to the gods.
Atalante:
I protect my vows to the gods.
...Or so I thought...
Mash:
Atalante is looking off into the distance...
Dr. Roman:
Yeah, that goddess was pretty...
impactful.
Atalante:
...Enough talking, I suppose.
It's time for combat.
Atalante:
Master, stay back.
...Let's go!
--BATTLE--:
Atalante:
We should be almost there...
Oh, good. This is it.
Mash:
That's the statue of the goddess?
Atalante:
Yes, it's handmade.
Impressive, right?
Fujimaru 1:
If you just add Orion there.
Fujimaru 2:
Needs more Orion.
Atalante:
Y-You want me to make one of him? Hmm...
He's the type of person I hate most.
Atalante:
He's lazy, lustful, and never learns. He's only interested in having fun, and doesn't care for others.
Atalante:
...He did look like he was having fun, but that fun is far too different for my tastes.
Atalante:
Not my type of man at all. If I had to pick between him and Jason, I don't know what I'd do.
Mash:
I-It's that bad?
Atalante:
Let me ask you, Mash. If Jason and Orion were the last two men in the world, who would you marry?
Mash:
Huh? I'd um...
Well...
Atalante:
See what I mean...huh?
???:
Hehehe, that's not a nice way to talk about someone's boyfriend, is it...Atalante?
Atalante:
...Hyah!
Mash:
T-That voice!
Artemis:
Hey guys!
Orion:
Hello, I know this is a surprise but I am back...
Speaking of which, Mash are you busy later?
Artemis:
Hehehehe. Even if it's the truth,
denying it is proof of my love!
Artemis:
So let's do this!
If I win you'll never get my blessing again.
Artemis:
I don't know about my Brother, though!
Atalante:
That's crazy!
--BATTLE--:
Artemis:
Ugh, I lost.
I guess my love still isn't strong enough!
Orion:
Huh? You've got more love? Seriously?
What you've got is already crushing me...
Artemis:
Well, if I lost, I lost.
You may retain my blessing!
Atalante:
Thank you Goddess, I will continue to treasure this statue.
Artemis:
Okay Orion, let's go back!
Orion:
Mash, at least hold me tight against your chest...
BRWRAH!
Atalante:
Well. That was an unexpected interruption,
but we made it through...
Atalante:
Thank you, Master.
I owe you.
Atalante:
Now let us return.
Want to take that chimera meat with us?
Atalante:
You must be sick of rations.
No? I see...
Atalante:
Then this boar pelt... No, huh?
Hmph. This is difficult.
London Child
Atalante:
I'm sorry, Master.
May I have a word?
Atalante:
...
...
Fujimaru 1:
What is it?
Fujimaru 2:
You look depressed.
Atalante:
...I want to go to this London place you visited. Will you help?
Mash:
–We're here, but why are we here?
Atalante:
I heard there was a child Servant.
Mash:
Jack the Ripper.
Yes, she WAS a child... I think.
Mash:
To think that's who she really was... What a shock.
Atalante:
That's not exactly right. She's simply one aspect of Jack the Ripper.
Atalante:
Jack the Ripper is a black box, filled with the beliefs, hypotheses, and ideas of people everywhere.
Atalante:
Even without knowing the real killer, as long as you know the name you can summon the appropriate Servant.
Atalante:
...In that sense, she's similar to Hassan-i Sabbah.
Atalante:
In a normal Holy Grail War, one of almost 20 of them can be summoned via the concept of “Assassin”
Mash:
You sure know a lot.
I am surprised.
Atalante:
I've crossed paths with them.
I hope that child disappears completely...
Mash:
Huh? She should've disappeared already–
???:
–Hehehehe.
Mash:
!?!?!?
Dr. Roman:
It's weak, but I'm picking up a reading around you! Be careful!
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
What...was that?
Atalante:
Remnants of a Servant.
Best to destroy them.
Jack:
Hehe, hehehe, heheheheh.
Atalante:
There's more!
Mash:
This feeling... It's her!
Fall back, Master!
Atalante:
–Rest in peace, Jack!
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
...The reading in this area is gone. Doctor, are you picking up more?
Dr. Roman:
Hold on, I'm expanding the search radius.
...Ah! Yes, I've found something similar...
Atalante:
Let's head there, then.
Master, Mash, follow me!
Atalante:
For a Servant, past Holy Grail Wars are more like hazy dreams than distant memories.
Atalante:
No matter how strong a past bond might be, it will inevitably fade.
Atalante:
...Of course it will. Fighting a hundred Holy Grail Wars is like leading a hundred lives.
Atalante:
More than anything, it ceases to feel real.
You stop being able to cling to just one life.
Atalante:
It doesn't mean we're choosing a noble death.
We're simply abandoning a pallid life.
Atalante:
So we forget them–like they were the dreams we once had. But some things cannot be forgotten.
Atalante:
That battle, to me, was one of them.
Jack:
Hehehe! Hehehe!
Mommy! Mommy!
Jack:
–Mommy!
Mash:
This voice!
Atalante:
I thought you might not have completely disappeared... Jack the Ripper.
Jack:
Yup. I mean, this world is wavering.
Jack:
So even we, who should no longer be here, can look for her once more.
Atalante:
...Stop it, Jack.
You won't find your mother in this world.
Atalante:
Even if she did exist, she wouldn't accept you as her daughter.
Jack:
Shut up!
You don't know anything about us!
Atalante:
You're wrong. I do know you... However...
Atalante:
I don't understand you. I can't understand you. You don't want to be understood.
Atalante:
You will try to fulfill your wish.
I will stop you. That is all.
Jack:
Okay, got it. Then–
it's time to die!
Mash:
...Here it comes!
Atalante:
Sorry, but I must finish you off.
I truly am sorry.
--BATTLE--:
Jack:
Wah...wah...
That's so mean...so mean...
Atalante:
–You're right. I'm mean.
Still, I wanted to save you.
Atalante:
I really, really wanted to save you.
No matter how broken you were.
Jack:
...I see.
Hehe, you're weird, Mommy.
Jack:
We were...saved...already–
Mash:
Whew... We beat her.
Atalante:
...No, we didn't.
Atalante:
As long as London exists, she'll keep coming back.
Atalante:
Until we restore history to its proper form.
Mash:
Huh?
But she–
Atalante:
Jack is special. When history is restored, she'll pass on as she should.
Atalante:
...That's what I want to believe.
Atalante:
Master, my wish is to save all the abused, unhappy children in this world.
Atalante:
What do you think?
Fujimaru 1:
That's a good wish.
Fujimaru 2:
That's a hard wish.
Atalante:
Thank you for not laughing.
Atalante:
It may be hard.
No, it may be close to impossible.
Atalante:
But still...
I can't give up on my wish.
Atalante:
Even if it becomes an eternal chain which binds me forever–
Atalante:
I will keep fighting.
Let's go, Master.
Atalante:
First, we have to save the world so that the children can live.
