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.
