Diarmuid Ua Duibhne
Twin-Spear of the Rose
Fou:
Fou, Fou.
Fujimaru 1:
Good Fou, good Fou
Fujimaru 2:
(Backrub, backrub)
Fou:
Foou...
(purr)
Mash:
Master, it seems like Diarmuid wants to talk to you.
Diarmuid:
Master, thank you for granting me an audience. I must say this army is fantastic.
Fujimaru 1:
What is fantastic?
Fujimaru 2:
What do you mean?
Diarmuid:
How no one reacts to my face. Until now, I had to be careful merely walking around.
Mash:
Oh. I see, it's about your beauty mark, Diarmuid?
Diarmuid:
Yes, it's more like a curse than a mark of love. Nothing good ever came out of this beauty mark.
Diarmuid:
...Well, even though I did not have any regret about the love I felt because of it.
Diarmuid:
Apologies, we've strayed away from the subject. Master, what I want to talk about are my Noble Phantasms.
Diarmuid:
Currently, I'm using two Noble Phantasms...
“Gáe Dearg” and “Gáe Buidhe”–
Diarmuid:
But perhaps due to using two Noble Phantasms, neither one demonstrates its true potential.
Diarmuid:
In other words, their power is sealed.
Diarmuid:
If I can release their power somehow,
I think I could be a bigger help–
Mash:
I'm painfully aware of the feelings of not being able to fully utilize your Noble Phantasm.
Mash:
Why don't we have the Doctor investigate and see if there are any clues.
Dr. Roman:
Hmm, so sealed Noble Phantasms...
Dr. Roman:
Usually, there is some kind of clue in the era that the Heroic Spirit was living in, but–
Dr. Roman:
Hmmm. I am not picking up anything.
Dr. Roman:
It was such a long time ago when Diarmuid was alive... We may not be able to trace it completely...
Dr. Roman:
Either way, there is a chance that you actually sealed the Noble Phantasms yourself.
Mash:
What do you mean?
Dr. Roman:
It could be a malfunction during summoning, or the Servant is subconsciously restraining himself–
Dr. Roman:
I'm not really sure. But if you want to unleash his Noble Phantasm, why don't you just dive into his heart. It's risky though.
Diarmuid:
It's... Risky?
Dr. Roman:
Because [♂ he /♀️ she] as your Master and several Servants have to tag along.
Diarmuid:
...
...
Diarmuid:
I cannot let my Master take a risk. I decline your suggestion.
Dr. Roman:
That's what he says. But what does Fujimaru want to do?
Fujimaru 1:
We should go look. I'm sure it's fine.
Diarmuid:
Oh, Master! You are so generous. How lucky am I to serve under such a wonderful Master!
Fujimaru 2:
Let's see how awesome our man Diarmuid can be!
Diarmuid:
I'm flattered that you say that but... Why did you just call me “our man Diarmuid”...
Diarmuid:
I'm a little embarrassed.
Dr. Roman:
Fine. Well then, let's get ready.
Diarmuid:
So this is what my heart is like...
Dr. Roman:
It's your mental landscape. Diarmuid, you will lead us to finding clues about your Noble Phantasms.
Diarmuid:
Understood.
Well Master, let us proceed right away.
Mash:
Do you have any ideas where to?
Diarmuid:
Of course. I know this landscape very well. There is a forest nearby where I used to hunt.
Diarmuid:
...It's also the place we passed when I ran away with her.
Mash:
Her, does that mean–
Diarmuid:
Yes, exactly whom you think.
Gráinne... A woman I used to love.
Diarmuid:
...There are a few suspicious presences. Is this why you told us to come with Servants?
Mash:
Master, be careful.
There seems to be enemies.
Mash:
...They're coming!
Diarmuid:
I see. White blood cells, so to speak– Something like guardians of my own mental landscape.
Diarmuid:
I feel bad about destroying them, but I have no choice. I'm charging in. Come on!
--BATTLE--:
Diarmuid:
We are finished here!
Mash:
Yes. We got them all on our end, too.
Diarmuid:
I guess we are lucky the enemy was not formidable... Hmm?
Mash:
What happened?
The light was...
Diarmuid:
I see. I think I understand now.
Diarmuid:
By defeating the enemies in my mental landscape, the true brilliance of my Noble Phantasm is restored.
Diarmuid:
Master, I'm sorry to ask you but I would like to ask for your assistance a while longer.
Diarmuid:
Well, let's move onto the next spot.
--ARROW--:
Diarmuid:
This place... Well, although the furniture is different, it reminds me of the castle of the king I used to serve.
Dr. Roman:
By King... Do you mean Fionn mac Cumhaill?
Diarmuid:
...Yes, he is the one. This is the place I used to drink with the king and my fellows.
Diarmuid:
!?
???:
Diarmuid...
Diarmuid:
This voice... Are you the Knights of Fianna!?
???:
The king is not here.
Fionn mac Cumhaill is not here.
???:
The king is calling. If you don't see Fionn mac Cumhaill, the brilliance won't return.
Diarmuid:
The king is in this world?
???:
At the same time, we will stand in your way.
Diarmuid:
...You are threatening us.
What is going on?
???:
We are not your true allies.
We are mere gatekeepers within your mind.
???:
Though, our capabilities are exactly as you remember. Show us your skill, Diarmuid.
???:
The skill of someone who deserves to be called a Knight of Fianna in the past, and the future!
Dr. Roman:
I guess we have to fight.
Diarmuid:
...Understood.
Master, please give me your orders!
Fujimaru 1:
Let's win!
Fujimaru 2:
Let's fight!
Diarmuid:
Understood! As you wish.
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne– Here I go!
--BATTLE--:
Diarmuid:
My spear's brilliance has returned once again!
Mash:
One more should do it.
Let's keep going!
--ARROW--:
Diarmuid:
If the king is here, he should be in this forest...
Fujimaru 1:
Bad memories?
Fujimaru 2:
You look glum.
Diarmuid:
Yes... This is the place where I died.
Diarmuid:
I came boar hunting with my king, Fionn mac Cumhaill, and I was killed by the boar– A demonic beast.
Diarmuid:
What happened after that, I don't need to tell you. I was not granted the king's healing.
E：???:
Certainly!
That's right, that's absolutely right, Diarmuid!
Diarmuid:
My king?
Fionn:
Yes, I'm your king, the all too perfect mac Cumhaill. But... Your attitude hasn't changed at all.
Fionn:
What a strange man you are. Don't you feel any hate towards me?
Fionn:
Yes. In this forest, at this place, I refused to share water after you had collapsed..
Fionn:
I could have saved you under the circumstances, yet I abandoned you on purpose, you see?
Diarmuid:
That is because of me–
It was my fault.
Fionn:
Hahahahaha. You are a truly loyal knight.
But I think that's a lie.
Diarmuid:
What?
No, it's not true!
Fionn:
You need not bite your thumb. I'm sure your new Master completely understands that.
Fionn:
For one thing— You don't regret it.
Fionn:
Even if you are summoned to a Holy Grail War somewhere, you'd not hope to overturn this unfortunate death.
Fionn:
If you trace the cause of this misfortune, it was actually caused by my queen, Gráinne.
Fionn:
You loved Gráinne, and you also reconciled with me.
Fionn:
Therefore, you should accept this ending–
That's what you are thinking, right?
Diarmuid:
O-Of course.
My king, I–
Fionn:
However, while you feel you weren't wrong, your true self regrets and resents!
Fionn:
Why did I not give you water back then?
Why did I not heal your wounds?
Fionn:
What should you have done back then, and such!
Diarmuid:
Augh... Shut up!
You are not the king!
Fionn:
Haha, correct! I'm a materialization of your resentment. What you were ashamed of and had sealed away–
Fionn:
The “something” that you cowered and ran away from, so you can keep pretending to be a knight.
Diarmuid:
...Augh!
These...are my true...feelings!?
Fujimaru 1:
Let's fight together!
Fujimaru 2:
Things happen.
Diarmuid:
Master!
Diarmuid:
Right, doesn't matter who I was in the past, I'm a Servant now. My duty is to serve my new Master and eliminate the enemies.
Diarmuid:
O' Evil Fionn mac Cumhaill, created by my own mind. As a knight, it's my duty to kill you!
Fionn:
Ha! Nonsense, you are spineless!
Fionn:
Why don't you show me if your fragile heart can survive from being crushed by your own overwhelming guilt!
--BATTLE--:
Fionn:
—Yes. Yes I know of this.
Fionn:
Diarmuid, the resolution in your spears, the clarity of your art.
Fionn:
Our pride and joy,
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne's battle art.
Fionn:
Then, I only have one more thing to ask of you.
...Do you have any resentment, my knight?
Diarmuid:
...I must have some. But I will leave that here right now.
Diarmuid:
I have gained “something” more than that from my king. Something precious– Something I should not lose sight of.
Fionn:
Well done. Considering you tend to get lost, you found the correct answer quickly this time.
Fionn:
...Well, tendency to get lost is something I am guilty of myself.
Fionn:
...The powers of Gáe Dearg and Gáe Buidhe are properly released.
Fionn:
Move onward, Diarmuid. Grasp victory in your hand!
Diarmuid:
I appreciate it, King.
I do appreciate it...
Diarmuid:
My lord and Master. Thanks to you, my spears have returned to my hands.
Diarmuid:
I have no more hesitation. Using these twin spears, let us defeat our enemies.
