Chevalier d'Eon
In the Name of Lily
d'Eon:
Thank you–
d'Eon:
Sorry for making you tag along with me.
But, thank you.
d'Eon:
Something is going to happen here, in this era.
I can't shake that feeling.
d'Eon:
So that's why I insisted on this, and now here we are...in the Paris of a bygone age.
d'Eon:
Honestly, I hope we find nothing, but in that case...hmm.
d'Eon:
It'll mean I've wasted your time. I apologize,
you're probably tired from the constant fighting.
Mash:
Don't worry about it.
It seems like Senpai is feeling restless anyway.
Fujimaru 1:
Yeah, I just can't fall asleep.
Fujimaru 2:
I feel wide-awake.
Mash:
Maybe there's some kind of connection with what d'Eon's feeling.
Fou:
Fou?
Dr. Roman:
That's right, Masters and Servants are connected through magical energy, so it's possible.
Dr. Roman:
One recorded example is the phenomenon of shared memories within dreams.
Dr. Roman:
I imagine there are other examples as well.
It's quite intriguing.
Mash:
Yes. He, umm, I mean she–
wait, uh–
d'Eon:
Haha, either is fine.
Sometimes I am a man, and sometimes woman.
d'Eon:
You may refer to me however you wish.
Hey Fujimaru, what do I look like to you?
Fujimaru 1:
A woman, I guess?
d'Eon:
Hehe...
So that's how I look.
Fujimaru 2:
A man, I guess?
d'Eon:
Hmm...
So that's how I look.
d'Eon:
I'm the Knight of the White Lily, sworn to defend France's royal family. Gender means nothing to me.
d'Eon:
Sometimes I'm a saber-wielding dragoon.
Sometimes I'm an elegant lady in a dress.
d'Eon:
If it's to defend the royal family, I won't hesitate to use a saber or a dress.
d'Eon:
That remains as true now as it was when I was alive.
Being a Heroic Spirit doesn't change that.
d'Eon:
Also...
Mash:
???
Fou:
Fou?
d'Eon:
I committed a crime. I remember my manifestation in this world as Berserk Saber.
d'Eon:
Not just at all of you... I even pointed my blade at "the one" who's the very symbol of the royal family.
d'Eon:
I want to atone for that.
Forgive me Master Fujimaru.
d'Eon:
Instead of fulfilling my duties as a Servant, I am now acting to fulfill my duties as a defender of the royal family.
d'Eon:
Please forgive me, even if it's only for a night.
d'Eon:
Please give me a chance.
Master.
Fujimaru 1:
Don't worry about it.
Fujimaru 2:
Sure, I don't feel like sleeping anyway.
d'Eon:
...Thank you, Master.
Fou:
Fou!
Kyuuuuuu!!
Mash:
Magical energy detected, Senpai!
Multiple units in the town ahead!
Dr. Roman:
It seems that d'Eon's worry was justified!
If anything comes up, we can also Rayshift!
Dr. Roman:
Multiple signatures approaching our position!
We might have to fight!
Mash:
...Senpai!
Fujimaru 1:
Get ready for battle!
Mash:
Yes, Master!
d'Eon:
Shadowy beings lurking in Paris's twilight hours–
I, the Knight of the White Lily, shall be your opponent!
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
Enemy unit destroyed. It's likely that the target's composition was magical in nature.
Dr. Roman:
A ghost-type monster. The fact it lacks a physical body is troublesome, so I'm glad you're the ones against it.
Dr. Roman:
Even against monsters immune from physical attacks, a Servant can still fight with no problems.
Dr. Roman:
Since Servants are composed of magical energies, all your attacks are still effective against non-physical targets.
Dr. Roman:
A fine opponent.
We're quite lucky then.
Fujimaru 1:
"We're quite lucky?"
Fujimaru 2:
I don't know if I'd put it that way...
d'Eon:
Another group is approaching!
Master, looks like another fight!
Fou:
Kyu!
Foou!
Mash:
Senpai, please take care of Fou!
Also,–your orders please!
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
...I thought the battle would continue, but it seems like there are no more enemies in this area.
d'Eon:
Hmm, I don't know about that.
d'Eon:
This feeling... Something's close.
It's cleverly hiding itself, but it's definitely there.
d'Eon:
Reveal yourself! Present yourself before the royal family's august lily!
d'Eon:
You who haunts Paris during the dead of night!
–Wretched ghost mired in wickedness!
E:???:
...Death...to the royal family...
E:???:
...Freedom...to the people...
E:???:
...We, the people, no longer need the white lily of the royal family...
E:???:
...Thus...
E:???:
...The revolution shall sweep Paris...
Mash:
!?
Fou:
Foou!
Dr. Roman:
I am picking up a powerful reading! This is different than a Servant, it's closer to the ghosts we encountered.
d'Eon:
...I know who this is.
d'Eon:
The strength of this man's convictions. He sought freedom for the people and castigated the royal family.
d'Eon:
In days and nights long past, I once crossed swords in the shadows with this man.
d'Eon:
You're... I see.
So it's you who summoned me.
d'Eon:
–Maximilien Robespierre.
Dr. Roman:
What!
Robespierre!?
Fujimaru 1:
Uh, who?
Fujimaru 2:
He's famous in history!
Mash:
Yes. Maximilien Robespierre was the world's first terrorist and an instigator of the revolution–
Dr. Roman:
B-But, hold on a second.
Whatever that is, it doesn't look like a Servant!
Dr. Roman:
The first Holy Grail...
It has influenced Paris and conjured up a ghost!
Dr. Roman:
Everything's a mess, and the era is out of control.
The Holy Grail makes such things possible–
Ghost of Robespierre:
...Death...to the royal family...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...Death...Death, death...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...Death to all...who oppose the revolution...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...Ah, yes, upon everyone and everything...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...Purge...and death!
d'Eon:
He has lost sight of his own justice.
Robespierre...
d'Eon:
I could judge your life as an evil one, but now all you wish is death upon everything.
d'Eon:
You shall fall before a knight of France.
–By the sword of the White Lily!
Mash:
Master, your orders, please!
--BATTLE--:
d'Eon:
–It's over, poor ghost!
Ghost of Robespierre:
...ah, aah, ah, aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...It's disappearing, everything...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...France, liberty...to where...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...do you fade away...
d'Eon:
No, Robespierre.
They will not fade away.
d'Eon:
France's royalty may vanish.
Perhaps revolutionaries like you will fall as well.
d'Eon:
But France itself will never die. It may change its shape or form, but it will continue to exist.
d'Eon:
As long as this world exists.
So I leave you with these words.
d'Eon:
–Vive la France!
Ghost of Robespierre:
...Ah, Vive la...
Ghost of Robespierre:
...Fr...an...ce...
Mash:
–Magical energy signature eliminated.
Fou:
Foou...
Fujimaru 1:
Good work, d'Eon.
Fujimaru 2:
Now he can rest in peace.
d'Eon:
...Yes.
d'Eon:
Thanks to you, we were able to bring him peace.
Thank you, Master.
