Illyasviel von Einzbern
For Whom Do We Shine
Illya: Quintett Feuer!!!
Prisma Coalesced Men☆Gentle: Gwaaaaaahhhh!!!
Illya: (Pant, pant) ... I-I did it...!
Mash: Annihilation of enemy and nuisance targets confirmed.
Mash: Good work, Illya and Senpai. Now we are finally done.
Mash: I would never have predicted the obsessive thoughts of the Magical Gentlemen, whom we thought we defeated, would come back and attack as Fused Gentlemen...
Fujimaru 1: Thanks for that concise explanation, Mash.
Fujimaru 2: It was a sad, horrendous battle.
Mash: Yes. Even attempting to talk about it would be a painfully drawn-out conversation... And I don't want to talk about it, so let's forget it.
Illya: ... (Tremble, tremble)
Mash: ...? Is something the matter, Illya?
Illya: ...My...
Illya: My entire body aches!
Mash: A-are you okay!? Did you injure yourself in the last battle!?
Ruby: Ah, no...do not fret. She did not commit a blunder like getting touched by a gentleman.
Ruby: This is something like recoil from her grand attack...or rather a price she has to pay.
Illya: This happens whenever I use Quintett Feuer... Ruby, is there anything I can do so I don't feel so much pain?
Ruby: That's a tough one... The attack itself is a bit of a cheat, really, forcing magical energy through bodily systems it's not really meant to be routed through in order to gain an instantaneous firepower boost.
Ruby: Normally, the blowback you'd feel from something like that would be even more severe, as you well know.
Ruby: Your body possesses a Spirit Origin stronger than a physical body. That's why you get off with just a hearty round of griping like an old lady!
Illya: Old lady...
Mash: I never knew it was such a magnificent attack.
Illya: Hmmm, but I feel like its gotten weaker compared to when I shot it THAT time.
Fujimaru 1: “That time”?
Fujimaru 2: Which time?
Illya: Uh...um...well, it's a long story...
Ruby: It was the time when she went up against little big Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish head-on and won.
Mash: Eh...?
Fujimaru 1: Ehhhhhh!? Seriously!?
Ruby: I swear upon this Ruby's bewitching form that story is one hundred percent true!
Fujimaru 2: It's from volume five of Prisma☆Illya 2wei!
Ruby: Exactly! This blatant advertisement is so bold, even Ruby wants to tip her hat to it!
Ruby: But you know...that was only possible because the other party wasn't going all-out...or rather, he was just toying with us, which was our saving grace.
Mash: W-well...even so, that is truly incredible!
Illya: I was just so...engrossed in the moment...
Illya: A-anyway! I want to get stronger!
Illya: Ruby. If I'm stronger than my physical body, don't you think I can increase my magical energy output?
Ruby: Ah, a girl who pursues pure firepower! Yes!
Ruby: HOOOWEEEVERRR...to cut to the chase, the problem is actually on your end.
Illya: Eh? What do you mean?
Ruby: My only job is to maintain the four systems as pseudo-magical circuits.
Ruby: The amount of magical energy that goes through them is actually dependent on Illya's willpower.
Illya: Willpower...? I think I'm trying my best...
Mash: Perhaps...
Fujimaru 1: You're holding yourself back psychologically.
Ruby: Ah! Way to go! Great, Master!
Ruby: You catch on fast, like you're a seasoned vet of school girls who are innocent and pure of heart!
Illya: Putting it that way makes it sound kind of weird...
Ruby: Now that Miss Illya is just starting to understand euphemisms, teasing her is really fun! Anyway...
Ruby: The physical repercussions she suffers are serious, and I can only imagine how SERIOUSLY painful they are.
Ruby: Perhaps she has unconsciously held back her output out of fear of the pain she remembers from the past.
Mash: That...
Fujimaru 1: Totally understandable.
Fujimaru 2: Don't push yourself too hard...
Illya: You're worried about me. Thanks, [♂ big brother /♀️ big sister} Fujimaru.
Illya: But even so...I want to get stronger.
Mash: I completely understand.
Mash: But you're still in elementary school. Why are you so eager to get stronger?
Illya: Because...because...if I don't get stronger...
Mash: If you don't...?
Illya: People will say I'm weaker than Chloe!
Mash: ...Come again?
Illya: People will say “Chloe's a much easier character to use,” or “Chloe's NP is stronger”!!!
Illya: I know...I know I'm weak. I don't have that much magical energy, and I'm bad at making snap decisions in battle...
Illya: But you know what? No matter how underdeveloped I may be, there's one thing I can't let slide.
Illya: I don't care if other people best me... But as the older sister...!
Illya: I can't let Chloe best me!!!
Mash: ...
Mash: U-um...it's been a while since I heard such a...um, intense pledge like that. It was almost moving...
Mash: But I don't think you are weaker than Chloe, Illya.
Mash: So please calm down...
Illya: It's true! Ruby told me everyone is saying that!
Mash: Ruby!?
Ruby: Ahahahahaha!
Fujimaru 1: We want to help you, but...
Fujimaru 2: Ummmmm...
???: Heh heh heh...I see you are in a bind.
Illya: Eh? Wh-who's there!?
???: Hah!!!
???: I heard it all!
Mash: Oh, that dark silhouette...!?
Fujimaru 1: Who exactly are you!?
Ruby: ...
Ruby: Oh. Um... Y'know... To be continued and all that...
--ARROW--:
B：???: I'm going to say it again: I heard it all!!!
Illya: You're repeating yourself!?
Fujimaru 1: That voice...!
Fujimaru 2: That succubus-like aura...!
Chloe: Bingo! I'm the big sister who's better than Illya in every way! The one and only Chloe von Einzbern!
Illya: Chloe!?
Illya: H-how long have you been listening!?
Chloe: Hmm...since someone said, “Congratulations. She's a healthy baby girl.”
Illya: S-since the moment I was born!? That's such a big sister thing to say... Wh-why, you!
Ruby: The “who's the older sister” battle...I still don't understand the rules.
Mash: Um...sorry to interrupt your sisterly banter, but...didn't you show up because you had business with us, Chloe?
Chloe: Oh right, right. It's about Illya.
Chloe: She's been mumbling “more firepower, more firepower” to herself every day, so I was worried about her.
Illya: W-was I muttering borderline scary stuff to myself?
Chloe: Yeah, I seriously considered calling the cops.
Chloe: Ah well, can't be helped. No matter the era, the weak always struggle to gain more power.
Chloe: To support her fervent but futile efforts, we've all showed up. That's all.
Illya: Oh that's just infuriating!
Illya: ...Hm? “We”?
Chloe: Heh heh heh! Indeed!
Chloe: Be grateful, Illya. I went ALL over to gather everyone here together, in one place!
Chloe: Now come on out! “Illya's Magnificent Strengtheners!”
Stheno: You talk too much, Chloe. Just how long were you going to keep us in the green room?
Euryale: Well, the only thing to do about this is to slap my dummy younger sister Medusa's butt once for every second you kept us waiting! (Slap)
Medusa: Ow! I-I'm sorry...! Sorry to trouble you, but please speed things up...!
Mash: The three Gorgon sisters are here...!? What is going on...?
Illya: Eh? Wh-what!? What's this “Illya's Magnificent Strengtheners” about!?
Ishtar: I usually don't work for free. If you can't pay my price, I'll have to seize some of Chaldea's assets.
Quetzalcoatl: Nonsense! A lucha match is its own reward, more valuable than jewelry! I will jump even higher than usual, yes!
Artemis: Yoo-hoo☆ I'm here to beat the pulp out of someone!
Illya: Again... What the heck!?
Fujimaru 1: Look at all these goddesses...
Fujimaru 2: What a sight.
Chloe: These are the seven great goddesses who have answered my call! Together they're called the “Bully Illya Seven!”
Illya: It's a different name now!
Illya: Wait, wait. You can't just collect so many of these UNIQUE people all of a sudden... I don't have any idea how to react to all of this...!
Ruby: Illya's really not much for processing complicated things.
Chloe: You want to get stronger, right?
Illya: (Gasp)
Chloe: As the big sister, I knew. I knew that my younger sister Illya was agonizing over her ho-hum firepower.
Chloe: A younger sister can't be mulling over things like that alone. You gotta take action, however impossible.
Chloe: Illya may always get swept away by those around her, but being the big sister that I am, I believe in her. I know my younger sister has a strong will, however undeveloped she may be.
Illya: What you're saying sounds kind of good, but I'm also sensing a mocking undertone, and I can't concentrate!
Stheno: Ah, it's so lovely seeing siblings getting along like this. In consideration of your sisterly love, we shall play along just this once. (Slap, slap)
Euryale: So you want us to show that younger sister who's boss with a few love taps, right? I'm a little worried. Do you think I am fit to play such a role? (Slap, slap)
Medusa: Ow! Um...my dear older sisters...! Please refrain from talking while slapping my butt...!
Illya: Huh? Um, I sense an imminent battle...but I haven't agreed to anything yet...!
Ishtar: I'm not sure why, but when I look at her, I feel both affection and a certain sense of caution...
Ishtar: Perhaps this vessel of mine has some sort of connection to her. Do you think beating her up will help me figure it out?
Quetzalcoatl: Of course you will, yes! The clash of bodies is a kind of communication that transcends language barriers!
Orion: Well, a future cutie has asked us to do this. As a grown-bear, we should fulfill our duties.
Artemis: After we beat that girl up, I'll be sure to beat you three times harder, my darling!
Orion: What'd I say!?
Chloe: Behold. See how these goddesses all talk and act with such...um, individuality! See how they lack anything resembling solidarity!
Chloe: Y'know, if I'm honest, I don't really know how I got them all here together...
Chloe: Anyway! This is what Illya needs! You need to free your heart! Be more open! Buck naked!
Mash: Perhaps she's saying Illya needs to follow the mentality of these goddesses as examples...
Mash: I think that's asking a lot.
Ruby: Ruby does not approve of Illya acting like this lot...but will wholeheartedly approve of her being buck naked!
Illya: Um, even so, there's no need to fight, right!? That doesn't make much sense, right?
Fujimaru 1: ...Illya.
Illya: Oh! [♂ Big brother /♀️ Big sister} Fujimaru, help! If you don't do something, they'll all beat me up in the name of some weird version of sisterly love!
Fujimaru 1: ...Good luck.
Illya: [♂ Big brother /♀️ Big sister} Fujimaru, you traitor!!!
Chloe: Brace yourself, Illya! Be grateful that I've arranged for you to receive the “love” of the goddesses!
--BATTLE--:
Stheno: Phew...I suppose that's it. That was a nice way to kill some time.
Euryale: Oh come on! Our dummy of a sister Medusa can't even be a proper meat shield! What is even the point of you being so gigantic, then!?
Medusa: I'm sorry! I'm sorry...!
Medusa: ...Um. Good luck, Illyasviel. As a younger sister myself, I'll be rooting for you.
Ishtar: What the heck! She's already strong! But I have to admit, your Noble Phantasm shined brilliantly. It was like a jewel in the Milky Way!
Quetzalcoatl: Mmmm... ¡Adiós, hermanita! That was a lovely fight! Let's meet in the ring next time!
Artemis: Awwww, she beat me up! Console me fervently and lovingly, Darling!
Orion: Yeah, yeah. Later.
Orion: ...Sorry about that, missy. Bothering people is practically an occupation for these goddesses. Forgive them, will ya?
Orion: Well, let me just warn you that you shouldn't get too worked up.
Orion: There's only so much a single person can bear or do.
Illya: W-we won!? I'm beat...both physically and mentally.
Ruby: The only sane advice we got was from that Orion bear, which makes it even sadder.
Mash: A-anyway, I have confirmed that the seven goddesses have retreated. Good work, Illya.
Illya: Ugh...my entire body still hurts... I want to go home and take a nice bath...
Ruby: Illya is not one to skimp on self care!
Chloe: Well, I'm impressed, Illya. I didn't think you would really beat all seven goddesses.
Chloe: You beat the seven... Hm? Seven?
Fujimaru 1: One, two, three, four, five, six...
Fujimaru 2: There were only six of them.
H：???: Fwahahahahahaha! Fumeow hahahahahahaha!!!
H：???: At the behest of a girl who cares for her younger sister...this feral heart roars with maternal love! If you ask for the aid of a jaguar, then I shall be happy to lend my paw!
Jaguar Warrior: The beautiful goddess of love and the rainy season...the time is meow...for Jaguar Warrior!
Chloe: Oh... (I forgot I asked this one, too.)
Illya: Um...
Jaguar Warrior: I heard there was gonna be a fight, and I couldn't resist! Meowhahahahaha! Know that the Seven Goddess Alliance is no cat...I mean, cakewalk!
Mash: Um, Jaguar Warrior...
Jaguar Warrior: Meowhahaha. Good things never wait for you! If there's a deal, pounce on it! Once it's weakened, kill it! That's the law of the jungle!
Jaguar Warrior: Now come at me! I'm pawsitively pumped!
Jaguar Warrior: Come on, Ishtarin! Kuku! Let's go in with our ★5-eliminating Delta-Nabla Attack!
Fujimaru 1: Sorry. That just ended.
Jaguar Warrior: ...Huh? Where's Ishtarin and Kuku? And where's the rest of the goddesses?
Ruby: We beat 'em all.
Jaguar Warrior: Seriously? Little girl's too strong.
Fujimaru 1: Time to beat the leftovers.
Fujimaru 2: And now it's tiger season.
Illya: Wait, what was the point of that battle? I'm really confused now...
Jaguar Warrior: Tsk. I thought I was getting into a seven-on-one battle, but now it's a one-on-five deathmatch...
Jaguar Warrior: What's up with me being the lone wolf? ...I'm a feline!!!
Jaguar Warrior: But this jaguar will not lose! Just you watch! I'll show you that the jaguar's wild nature is going to save human history!!!
--ARROW--:
Jaguar Warrior: Are...you...kitten...me!?
Jaguar Warrior: I can't believe I lost to someone who's not even wearing short-shorts! What humiliation!
Jaguar Warrior: Why you... Perish, magical girls! One day I'll be lurking in the darkness and pounce on you to claim my revenge! Brace yourself for cat-astrophe!
Mash: All seven goddesses have been defeated... This time for real.
Mash: When she fled into the jungle I thought she was planning to use guerilla tactics, but instead she just started shouting for us to come at her one by one... Why?
Fujimaru 1: Thanks for the clear-cut explanation.
Fujimaru 2: It was a grrreat and fierce battle.
Chloe: Hmmm. Even I don't want to comment on that goddess. Besides, that tiger wasn't even a goddess.
Ruby: I feel like whoever tries to give it to her straight is in for a losing battle. Before she saves mankind, she needs to match the setting a little more.
Illya: Look who's talking!
Chloe: So...Illya. What do you think? Did you get stronger?
Illya: Of course not! I just got really, really, really tired!
Chloe: That's weird... Knowing you, I thought for sure that getting cornered would give you a powerup!
Illya: Quit playing games with my heart!
Mash: That's enough. Illya, you've fought so hard, and you're already strong.
Illya: Thank you, Mash. Ummmm...but, but...
Chloe: See? Look how doubtful you are... It's no wonder you can't get strong.
Chloe: Come on, stand up straight! If you put your mind to it, you're the type who can win against THAT Enuma Elish!
Ruby: That's right! Beat the crap out of that Enuma Elish!!!
Mash: U-um...perhaps you should tone it down... If HE ends up hearing you...
Chloe: You mean that shiny gold guy? What are you afraid of? We're fine, we're fine.
Chloe: After all, Illya beat him once! To hell with that King of Heroes! Come at us!!!
Illya: S-stop...you're going overboard...!
Chloe: What about Enuma Elish!? Our Illya would totally kick its butt!!!
Kid Gil: Oh? Well, this sure is interesting.
Chloe: ...
Illya: ...
Ruby: ...
Mash: ...
Illya & Chloe: He, he's here!?
Fujimaru 1: Chloe, you've done it now!
Chloe: I-I didn't think he would actually show up! B-besides, Ruby was egging me on!
Ruby: System. Error. Language functions...shutting down...
Illya: Don't you dare act like a machine to get out of this!
Fujimaru 2: Hurry and think of an excuse, Illya!
Illya: U-um...you see, Mister Kid Gil... The term kicking one's butt is just an expression...a turn of phrase...
Illya: ...Why am I making all the excuses!?
Kid Gil: Ahaha! Oh please. I don't understand why everyone is so scared.
Kid Gil: I wouldn't get mad over a little joke like that. I'm not the big me, after all.
Mash: That's right. Everyone's being rude. Kid Gil is rational, and he listens.
Mash: Oh, um! I-I-I'm not saying that the big shiny gold you is an irrational tyrant, you see...!
Kid Gil: Aha! Listen to you, big sister Mash! Don't get me wrong, I'm praising you! For both statements!
Chloe: Hmmm? Something's...
Illya: There's something different about him. Different than the usual Kid Gil we know...
Kid Gil: Hello, mirrored big sisters. This is the first time we've actually spoken to each other.
Kid Gil: ...Yep. It appears we are connected in quite the strange twist of fate.
Illya: You are... Are you THE Kid Gil we know...?
Kid Gil: Nope. And I don't know.
Illya: ...???
Chloe: The way he gets all profound kind of reminds me of him...
Kid Gil: There's no hidden meaning behind my words. And a bit of small talk is nice. It's fun.
Kid Gil: Oh, but dear me. Big sisters, you're not my type, so this is no fun. Not one bit.
Illya & Chloe: Huh?
Kid Gil: Yep. Let's just go ahead and battle.
Illya & Chloe: Huh!?
Mash: Wh-what do you mean, Kid Gil? Why do we need to fight...?
Kid Gil: Hm? Isn't this pretty much where a story about Illya wanting to get stronger leads?
Kid Gil: You said if she gave it her all, she could overwhelm even my Ea. I sure would like to see that.
Kid Gil: Now, please. Try to “blow me away.”
Illya: U-um...if I dare ask...
Chloe: Are you mad?
Kid Gil: I am not mad.
Fujimaru 1: He's definitely mad.
Fujimaru 2: Everyone, RUN!!!
Kid Gil: Oh, please don't flee.
Chloe: Oh crap...chains!?
Illya: Chloe!?
Chloe: Hey...! Lemme go! Bound in chains is NOT a good look for a kid!
Kid Gil: That sorta thing really isn't in my–never mind.
Kid Gil: Illya, battle me.
Illya: ...!
Kid Gil: If you flee, I will kill Chloe. Oh, and if I win, I will kill Chloe.
Illya: Wha...!? That's nonsense, Kid Gil!
Kid Gil: Hmmm. You're really slow to make a decision, even when you've only got one choice.
Chloe: Illy... Ungh! The chains are tightening...!
Mash: Chloe! Are you serious, Kid Gil!?
Kid Gil: I've taken a slight interest in that heart of hers.
Kid Gil: Since you're a Servant, please hang on and survive even if your ribcage gets caved in, Miss Chloe.
Chloe: Hey...you...! Quit joking around...!
Illya: No more! Stop!
Mash: Illya?
Illya: You really are a different person. Different than the Kid Gil that we know...
Illya: You may mince your words a lot, and we still don't know what you're really thinking...but...!
Illya: The Kid Gil we know never did anything cruel!
Illya: I...will never lose to somebody like that!
Kid Gil: Finally. Sheesh. The lady took her sweet time with her costume change.
Kid Gil: I really don't want to do this, but I guess I can make a bit of a costume change myself.
Mash: Eh...? Th-that can't be...!
Kid Gil: Honestly...I reeeally hate to do this. But for a few minutes, I'll act immature...
Gilgamesh: ...and get serious about playing. I'm going to school you on how to properly use your energy and your life!
Fujimaru 1: He...uh...
Fujimaru 2: H-h-he...
Mash: He grew up!!!
--BATTLE--:
Illya: Ungh... Ack...!
Illya: Quintett Feuer!!!
Gilgamesh: Ohhhhhhhhh!!!
Mash: A-amazing! What a massive magical energy discharge!
Mash: H-huh!? Her output's still increasing!?
Gilgamesh: Haha... I see... I see!
Gilgamesh: So this is the purpose for which you use your energy and your life!
Illya: (Pant, pant) ...Hah...hah...
Illya: I-I won!? Ooohhh...
Chloe: Illya!?
Illya: I-I'm fine. I'm just out of energy.
Mash: I didn't think we would really beat Gilgamesh...
Fujimaru 1: I believed in you, Illya.
Illya: Heh...hehe... Thank you, [♂ big brother /♀️ big sister} Fujimaru.
Fujimaru 2: I believed in you, Chloe.
Chloe: See? I told you so. Illya's amazing when she gives her all.
Ruby: That was an amazing shot, Illya! It was every bit as powerful as you could be in your heyday!
Kid Gil: It surpassed my expectations. Even I was a bit surprised.
Mash: Yes...indeed...
Kid Gil: I suppose a girl's dream can truly take her to the stars. Ah, my apologies. That may have sounded a bit pretentious.
Mash: ...
Mash: ...Kid Gil?
Kid Gil: Yes, I'm Kid Gil.
Fujimaru 1: He's alive!?
Fujimaru 2: He shrunk!
Illya: Huh!? What happened to that shiny gold guy!?
Kid Gil: Ah, I'm beat. I shouldn't be tampering with my own Spirit Origin when I'm not used to it.
Kid Gil: I will not pretend to be an adult anymore. I was given the opportunity to manifest in this form, after all.
Illya: You pretended!?
Ruby: He totally played us. That kind of intensity can't possibly be argued away as just a session of pretend.
Illya: And he's unscathed! I gave it my all, but it didn't even scratch him?
Chloe: Now that you mention it, the chains binding me disappeared without me noticing.
Chloe: Ugh! I don't believe it! I was played for a fool!
Kid Gil: Now, now. Please give me some credit. See? Illya got stronger.
Mash: That... You're right. Her output was definitely exponentially higher for her final shot.
Illya: But...why?
Fujimaru 1: She did it for Chloe.
Chloe: Eh? For me?
Fujimaru 2: Her mind was made up.
Illya: Um...what do you mean?
Kid Gil: Master seems to understand.
Kid Gil: The reason Illya's output was so-so was because she never had a real reason to unleash her power.
Kid Gil: She's not a hero, so she doesn't have a mission, honor, or pride... Without a defined cause, nobody can get stronger.
Kid Gil: Why does she want to have power? For what purpose does she wield her power?
Kid Gil: I just pushed her so she could remember, with that awful bit of theater.
Mash: So Illya wielded her power just now...
Illya: To...save Chloe...
Ruby: Now that you mention it, she was strong that one time because she wanted to save the person most dear to her, Miyu. (Touched)
Illya: I get it... I didn't want to get stronger...
Illya: I wanted to be able to protect the people I care about.
Mash: If protecting someone special is what gives Illya strength...
Mash: ...That is a wonderful power.
Kid Gil: Simply measuring your power against Chloe's doesn't suit you.
Kid Gil: Your conviction and your heart must be pure and sincere... They must be beautiful, like a single flower blooming in an empty field.
Kid Gil: Please never forget that.
Illya: Yep... Thank you, Kid Gil!
Illya: You're a different Kid Gil than the one I know...but you are still you!
Chloe: (Sigh) Kid Gil ended up stealing the show.
Chloe: But I did a lot for Illya.
Mash: Though I did question whether the Magnificent Strengtheners were really necessary...
Mash: Though in the end, Illya's Noble Phantasm was strengthened, so all's well that ends well.
Kid Gil: But it still isn't strong enough to beat Ea!
Illya: Is that really what's important right now!?
Kid Gil: If this was your true power, then way back, when I lost to you, I must have really been playing around!
Illya: Wow, he complimented AND dissed me in the same breath!
Ruby: He may be small, but he's still the King of Heroes! I guess that difficult personality of his sticks around even after he grows up.
Illya: Argh. Honestly...
Illya: Say...what...you want...
Mash: Illya!? Are you all right?
Illya: Every...single...limb hurts like it's about to fall off...and I'm sooooooooo tiiiiiired...!
Mash: Oh.
Chloe: I guess that doesn't change, does it.
Illya: Ungh... Chloe...take me to my room...
Illya: Zzzzzz...
Chloe: And she fell asleep!
Chloe: Honestly. My little sister's such a handful.
Chloe: Heave-ho.
Illya: Chloe...
Chloe: Hm?
Illya: I'll protect you...always...
Chloe: ...
Chloe: ...Yeah, yeah...big sister...
