Boudica

Once Upon a Time in the Forest...

Boudica:
~♪

Boudica:
~♪
~♪♪♪

Boudica:
...Hmm?
What is it?

Boudica:
Oh, sorry. Was I humming? It's been so long since I've walked through my home forest.

Boudica:
I just, you know?
I was just enjoying myself.

Boudica:
Anyway, Fujimaru, are you okay?
We've been walking a long way. Are you tired?


Fujimaru 1:
I'm fine.

Boudica:
I see. Okay.
Glad you're doing well!


Fujimaru 2:
What about you? You okay?

Boudica:
Hahaha, I'm a Servant!
I've got tons of stamina.


Mash:
Oh...

Mash:
(That's what I always say, but today she said it first–)

Mash:
(N-No, it doesn't matter. It's not important.)

Fou:
Fou?

Mash:
Yes, what is it, Fou?
Why are you rubbing against me?

Fou:
Fou, fo, foou.
Kyuu!

Dr. Roman:
I think Fou's trying to make you feel better.
Boudica's like everyone's big sister.

Dr. Roman:
So Fujimaru ends up being like her little [♂ brother /♀️ sister}. Yup, yup.

Dr. Roman:
And that means Mash is going to feel lonely.
–That's what Fou's saying, I think.

Fou:
Fou, fooou.

Mash:
...Thank you, Fou.
But don't worry about me.

Mash:
Both Boudica and I are Master's Servants.

Mash:
I don't feel lonely–
Not at all.

Mash:
It actually makes me feel better to have more people looking out for Master.

Fou:
Fou?

Boudica:
Oh, right.
Before we rayshifted...

Boudica:
I used the kitchen in the Chaldea living quarters to make us some lunch.

Boudica:
If you're hungry, would you like to have some?

Boudica:
I tried making Japanese rice balls.
It's my first time, so I don't know if they'll be good–

Boudica:
But if you're hungry, how about it?


Fujimaru 1:
Thanks.


Fujimaru 2:
I am feeling hungry.


Boudica:
Really? Great!
Okay–let's take a break here.

Boudica:
Hey, Mash, how about it?
Can we rest?

Mash:
Oh, yes. It should be safe.
We need to give Senpai a chance to rest, too.

Boudica:
Hooray♪ Let's eat, then!
I think we could rest by that grass over there, right?

Fou:
Foou!

Mash:
That's right.
We won't need to lay down a blanket then–

Dr. Roman:
I'm jealous you guys get to have a picnic!
I'm eating by myself...wait!

Dr. Roman:
Multiple magical energy signature detected!
We may have found our target!

Boudica:
Oh, jeez!
I was looking forward a good relaxation in the forest.

Boudica:
These nasty little goblins are interrupting just when it's getting good!

Mash:
Multiple packs coming from the front, Master!
Be careful.

???:
...Heheh.
Yummy woman...yummy...hahaha.

???:
Kill the men...
Take the women back to the nest, heheh.

Dr. Roman:
!!

Fou:
!!!

Dr. Roman:
Delicious-looking women? ...O-Oh no!
I heard the ancient Celtic goblins were primitive!

Dr. Roman:
But this goes beyond primitive, and sounds like they're planning something weird!?

Dr. Roman:
B-But are they?
Are they planning something weird!?

Fou:
Fo, foou!?

Mash:
Doctor? Fou, too...?
Why are you so agitated?

Boudica:
Not only have you interrupted our rest, you have defiled the forests of Britannia–

Boudica:
I was planning on resting Fujimaru on my lap and give the Master a much needed pampering–

Mash:
Huh?

Boudica:
I don't know if it's the Grail's influence, but these goblins have grown bigger than usual!

Boudica:
I remember normal goblins being a little bit smaller than this!

Boudica:
You weird goblins, I will never–

Boudica:
Ever, lose to you!

Dr. Roman:
!!

Fou:
!!!

???:
!!!!

Dr. Roman:
Huh? Y-You're not doing that on purpose, right!?
Boudica, that's what people say when they lose–

Fou:
Fou!

Boudica:
Huh?
What?

Mash:
Doctor, what are you saying?


Fujimaru 1:
L-Let's just fight!


Fujimaru 2:
We will never lose!


Mash:
Right, Master!
Commencing combat!

--BATTLE--:

Dr. Roman:
"...Damn it..."

Dr. Roman:
"...You captured us girls..."

Dr. Roman:
"...And took us here...
What are you going to do to us..."


Fujimaru 1:
Hehehehe, just what you think!


Fujimaru 2:
Hehehehe, you'll find out soon!


Dr. Roman:
"...O-Oh no..."

Dr. Roman:
"...Sob... I-If you're going to do that to us, I'd rather you just..."

Mash:
Doctor, Senpai, what are you doing?

Mash:
First you ordered a panting Boudica to
"Look down, embarrassed," during battle...

Mash:
...and then you started saying this weird stuff...
Why? What's the meaning of this?

Dr. Roman:
No, hahaha! It's nothing!
I just wanted to try it!


Fujimaru 1:
Sorry.


Fujimaru 2:
I couldn't help myself.


Boudica:
Hahaha, I had fun!
Anyway–

Boudica:
Thanks for coming with me, guys. We wiped out those bad goblins from my home's forests.

Boudica:
When you fixed Nero's era, I got a bad feeling.

Boudica:
So I came here to check it out, and sure enough, I was right.

Mash:
I believed in you.
I knew your intuition was correct.

Boudica:
Thanks, Mash. You really are a good girl.
I'll give you something nice later.

Mash:
N-Not really...

Boudica:
But I've never seen goblins swell up like that.
There were so many, and they attacked us.

Boudica:
Forest spirits aren't necessary always like that, you know.

Boudica:
It should be rare to see them at all.
Hmm...

Boudica:
Maybe this is the Grail's doing?
What a mess that thing makes.

Dr. Roman:
Oh, yeah. If you look through the records it causes all kinds of trouble.

Mash:
Is it that easy...
for human wishes to cause disaster?

Mash:
The Grail can grant any wish, so it can easily cause disasters. Which means that maybe...

Mash:
Human wishes themselves often bring disaster.
That's just a theory though–

Boudica:
Yes.
You might be right.

Boudica:
But I don't think I want to believe that.

Boudica:
Wishes are supposed to be...
They're supposed to be much simpler things.

Boudica:
More humble, and warmer, I think.

Boudica:
For example...

Dr. Roman:
For example?

Fou:
Fou?

Boudica:
Like eating a nice meal with someone you love, maybe.

Boudica:
That's what I mean.
Do you understand–what I'm saying?


Fujimaru 1:
Yup! Lunchtime!


Fujimaru 2:
Let's get back to that break!


Boudica:
Hahaha, that's right! Now, sit down.
I'll get the lunches out!

Boudica:
Fujimaru, you sit next to me.
Come on, you too, Mash! You sit next to me, too!

Mash:
R-Right!

Fou:
Fou!
