Tamamo-no-Mae
E-Pal Wars
Tamamo-no-Mae: Master, where are you? Your Caster's looking for you!
Mash: That's... Tamamo, isn't it? What's gotten into her?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh Master, there you are. I've been looking for you.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Let's get going, then! Come on, come on! This way! Come on!
Fujimaru 1: Where are we going?
Fujimaru 2: Um, you're a little too close.
Tamamo-no-Mae: We're going, of course, to our... H O N E Y M O O N♡
Mash: Oh, so that's all it was... What!?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Mmm! Blue skies! Sandy beaches! And a clear blue sea as far as the eye can see!
Tamamo-no-Mae: It's the perfect day for a honeymoon, isn't it Master?
Tamamo-no-Mae: ...That said. (Glance)
Mash: ...(Hmph)
Fou: Fooou...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Well, one or two tag-alongs shouldn't bother us too much.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh, how about something to drink? D A R L I N G♪
Dr. Roman: I really don't want to know, but how did this happen?
Dr. Roman: I mean, I really, really don't want to know. Actually, just forget it.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Too bad, here's how it happened! Listen up. Yesterday, I got a message from Kiyohime, my texting buddy.
Tamamo-no-Mae: I just went on a date with my Master, who is also my lover.
Tamamo-no-Mae: A lover's tryst, you could say. A lover's tryst.
Tamamo-no-Mae: "So, how are things with your Master, Tamamo... Oh. (gotcha.) Anyway, I'll text again sometime♪"
Tamamo-no-Mae: Can you believe she sent that!? What the hell was (gotcha.)? What is she saying she got!?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Kids these days... Even Osakabe-hime, who never leaves her room...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Is going on "chat dates!"
Tamamo-no-Mae: At this point, I have no choice but to act!
Tamamo-no-Mae: So I'm sending selfies of me and my Master being lovey-dovey, just to show the two of them who's boss...
Mash: So... It doesn't have to be with Senpai, does it?
Dr. Roman: That's right. She just wants to brag that she's getting along well with her Master.
Fujimaru 1: Caster, you're toying with me?
Fujimaru 2: Caster, let's end our contract...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh, no! No! Not at all! It's true that I've sworn my soul to another.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Even though I don't quite remember what that person was like, or even which dimension did I encountered them in.
Tamamo-no-Mae: But that's different!
Tamamo-no-Mae: I respect Fujimaru for making a contract with an Anti-Hero like me, and with no complaints!
Tamamo-no-Mae: I've seduced countless men and committed countless sins. But if I feel this one's the one, I'll serve with my whole spirit—
Tamamo-no-Mae: That is my true nature as Tamamo-no-Mae, the Caster!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Okay, so maybe "honeymoon" was going too far, but maybe you can at least call it a vacation? Maybe? Tee hee hee!
Mash: ...
Dr. Roman: Sorry to interrupt, but we have enemies. Looks like this is a Lamia spawning ground.
Dr. Roman: It looks like you're surrounded? What? Your discussion's more important? Sorry.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Why now, of all times!? Geez, this is just great.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Now I feel awkward, like when you run into an old friend and you find out she's married and has children now...
Tamamo-no-Mae: ...I'm going to take it out on these... What were they? Lamias?
Fujimaru 1: All right, fine. I'll join you!
Fujimaru 2: Yeah, I know how you feel.
Tamamo-no-Mae: That's my Master! I'm even more in love with you now!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Now that we're both on the same page, excuse me while I give a little speech.
Tamamo-no-Mae: I will come to your aid whether you ask for it or not! The reliable Shrine Maiden Fox, Casko-chan, now descends upon the tropical seas!
--BATTLE--:
Tamamo-no-Mae: Wow, it sure is nice to relax in a mountain inn, isn't it, Master?
Fujimaru 1: Sure is.
Fujimaru 2: I want to relax...
Mash: What's going on here...
Dr. Roman: Don't ask me. No idea...
Fou: Fooou...
Tamamo-no-Mae: So Master... Oh who is it, at a time like this...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh, a message from Kiyohime? What does it say...
Tamamo-no-Mae: "Today I went shopping with my Master, who is also my husband."
Tamamo-no-Mae: "We went to a famous French clothing store... Oh, what was its name? Anyway, there my Master bought me some Western-style clothes."
Tamamo-no-Mae: "I get so put on the spot by things like this. So Tamamo, do you... Oh. (Gotcha.)"
Tamamo-no-Mae: "Anyway, I'll text again sometime. -from France with love- Your Kiyohime"
Tamamo-no-Mae: This again! I'm asking you, what the hell is this? What the hell is this, this (Gotcha.)?
Tamamo-no-Mae: In the first place, I'm sure her partner is being tricked!
Fujimaru 1: Not Kiyohime?
Fujimaru 2: The partner is!?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Yes. It's not polite to say, but unlike me, Kiyohime can get the weirdest ideas in her head.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Tendencies for love at first sight aside, she often creates relationships in her mind without talking to the men involved.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Her imagination when it comes to these things could put virtual reality to shame. Every relationship she imagines already has marriage on the horizon.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Ultimately she traps the guy inside a bell and burns him to death. That's how she is, so I worry about her partner...
Mash: ...Oh, I should've brought us lunches or something.
Fou: Fooou...
Dr. Roman: I hate to interrupt, but I'm picking up something... Yeah. It looks like we're in wyvern territory.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Again? Jeez, I just want to make some memories with my Master. Why do they keep interrupting?
Tamamo-no-Mae: This isn't fair! My texting buddy does this to me every single day!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Her texts always sound so happy! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
Fujimaru 1: Me neither.
Fujimaru 2: ME NEITHER!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Wyverns, flying lizards, I don't know what you are... But how I feel on all those Sundays...
Tamamo-no-Mae: The feeling that I should do something meaningful but ends up on the couch, getting nothing done...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Then after a bath, realizing I'm already getting into bed... That dismal feeling...
Tamamo-no-Mae: I'LL TAKE THEM ALL OUT ON YOU!
Mash: ...I'm actually feeling the same way. Oh, Senpai! I was joking! I-I'll do my best!
--BATTLE--:
Dr. Roman: Well, I'm glad you two had fun yesterday...
Mash: What exactly was all that, anyway?
Fou: Fooouu...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh, Master! Trouble! Big trouble!
Fujimaru 1: What is it?
Fujimaru 2: Another text message?
Mash: Now what is it? Did Osakabe-hime ask you on a double date or something?
Tamamo-no-Mae: No, she's, you know, in the middle of a very cute internet romance.
Tamamo-no-Mae: The problem is the active one, Kiyohime. It seems, um... she got–dumped.
Fujimaru 1: Huh?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Yes, apparently she got mad and started setting everything on fire.
Tamamo-no-Mae: I wanted to ignore it, but you know, she's a dear friend.
Tamamo-no-Mae: We'd both promised to enroll in that cooking class held by Benienma from Severed-Tongue Sparrow, you see.
Tamamo-no-Mae: So out of my deep compassion and love, I think Master and I need to stop her!
Tamamo-no-Mae: It's a friend's job to be supportive at times like this, right?
Tamamo-no-Mae: –Though I've never met her in person.
Tamamo-no-Mae: So come on! Come on! Come! Come! With the deep bonds between us,
Tamamo-no-Mae: we shall heal poor Kiyohime's wounded heart! No ulterior motives, of course!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh, the shield girl is welcome too, I suppose...
Mash: I'll pass. Senpai, please try to avoid being burned to death, okay?
Nine-tailed Fox
Dr. Roman: The enemy type is a demon! Be careful, the readings are off the chart!
Fou: Fou-foou!
Mash: Roger. Let's go, Master! You be careful too, Tamamo!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Right, right. Sure thing, Shieldy!
Mash: Shieldy!?
--BATTLE--:
Mash: Whew... That was tough.
Tamamo-no-Mae: ...
Mash: ...Is something wrong, Tamamo?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh no, it's nothing! Come on, let's finish off the last of them!
Fujimaru 1: ???
--ARROW--:
Fou: Fou!
Mash: ...Oh, that's Tamamo. What's she doing in a place like this?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Sigh...
Fujimaru 1: What's wrong?
Fujimaru 2: Why the sigh?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Master... I'm sorry. You've caught me at an embarrassing moment.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Actually... No, I'm sure you've already noticed. It's about my body.
Mash: Your body? W-What does she mean, Senpai!?
Fujimaru 1: C-Calm down!
Fujimaru 2: Deep breaths, deep breaths...
Tamamo-no-Mae: I'm sure even Shieldy's noticed, but lately, I've been slowing you down.
Mash: What did you do, Senpai?! ...Wait, slowing us down? You, Tamamo?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Indeed... You see, for some reason, I cannot fully use my powers.
Mash: It doesn't feel like you're holding back...
Tamamo-no-Mae: No, I can feel that I am. It's my body, after all.
Tamamo-no-Mae: A long time ago, you see, I had nine fluffy tails and would go around...
Tamamo-no-Mae: ...causing havoc everywhere. The follies of youth, you understand–
Tamamo-no-Mae: I'll spare you the details, but eventually I became deeply, deeply repentant.
Tamamo-no-Mae: I sealed away eight of my evil tails... and became a weak, one-tailed fox.
Dr. Roman: The famous story of the nine-tailed fox. I've never heard that she lost her tails, though.
Tamamo-no-Mae: I'd like to be stronger so that I can be of use to you, Master, but...
Mash: Is there a problem?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Yes, when I get stronger, I get more tails. But you see...
Tamamo-no-Mae: When I get more tails, I become a very different sort of creature than I am now...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Yes, I kind of... I become a great demon strong enough to destroy the multiverse.
Dr. Roman: Y-You get that strong?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Yes. Understand that this isn't an exaggeration. I become a great demon...
Tamamo-no-Mae: ...that is an avatar of the apocalypse itself.
Fujimaru 1: I see...
Fujimaru 2: But should I care?
Tamamo-no-Mae: The thought of you seeing me like that makes me scared to grow more tails...
Tamamo-no-Mae: But if I can't be useful to you, I'm just a fluffy fox, shrine maiden...
Tamamo-no-Mae: ...and the cause of this Holy Grail War is a threat enough to rival my nine-tail self...
Tamamo-no-Mae: I'm not sure what to do.
Mash: A battle with your past, huh?
Dr. Roman: Sorry guys. I hate to interrupt, but there's another monster... A big one!
Dr. Roman: It's bigger than that demon enemy!
Fou: Fou!
Mash: Senpai, leave this to me and get Tamamo!
Tamamo-no-Mae: If I could get back at least one more tail, that monster would be nothing...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Aah, I hate myself for having so much hidden power!
Fujimaru 1: Even with more tails, aren't you still Tamamo?
Fujimaru 2: Really, it doesn't bother me.
Tamamo-no-Mae: I know, I know... You're just about to get sick of m... MIKON!?
Tamamo-no-Mae: M-Master!? W-What did you say?
Fujimaru 1: Seriously, I don't care.
Fujimaru 2: You'll always be Tamamo.
Tamamo-no-Mae: What!? So Master, even if I get all nine tails back, and even if I think...
Tamamo-no-Mae: “Wow, this is ridiculous,” you'll still treat me like you did before?
Fujimaru 1: Yup.
Fujimaru 2: Yeah.
Tamamo-no-Mae: I can't believe it! I came to this world by pure chance, and to think the Master I've contracted with out of some sense of fate...
Tamamo-no-Mae: ...Would possess such a handsome soul! Oh, but it's not as good as the man I'm destined to be with.
Tamamo-no-Mae: Okay, now I'm really fired up! I'm even more serious about this! Yeah!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Even if something terrible happens, you can quell my negative energy, scold me, and exorcise me!
Mash: ...U-Um, so what exactly are you doing?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Shieldy, I'm sorry for worrying you! From this moment, I am reborn—
Tamamo-no-Mae: A reborn Tamamo-no-Mae! That's right! I am the New Tamamotchi, at your service!
Tamamo-no-Mae: Come, come, come, come, come, Master! Come watch the cute little Casko-chan's big moment on stage!
Tamamo-no-Mae: –Come now! Those afar, hear my sound! Those nearby, be charmed!
Tamamo-no-Mae: I am the guardian of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the bearer of luck from the Kunluns!
Tamamo-no-Mae: A mirror of water reflecting the golden sun's rays! Behold the Eightfold Blessing!
--BATTLE--:
Tamamo-no-Mae: Mmm! Tamamo W I N S!I feel so good! So good!
Fujimaru 1: You don't have more tails, do you?
Fujimaru 2: Did you power up somewhere?
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh, my tails?That's right... To get another tail back...
Tamamo-no-Mae: I need another 500 billion experience points or so? So I'll just have one for now.
Mash: Huh? Then all that stuff about you growing your tails back...
Tamamo-no-Mae: Oh, I'm just a worrywart, you know?I'm the type who worries about the future.
Tamamo-no-Mae: But I'm okay now.With my Master's trust, I'm invincible.
Dr. Roman: Honestly, I didn't see anything different between that last battle and the one before it...
Mash: That's right... What was all that stuff she was talking about?
Dr. Roman: They do say the mind rules the body, right?
Fou: Fooou?
Tamamo-no-Mae: This fleeting world is but a moment's dream, just as the lives of men are but morning dew...
Tamamo-no-Mae: But my contract with you is firmer than the Sesshouseki. I will serve you with all my soul, Master!
