Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Symphony of the Heroic Spirits
Townsperson:
Get out if you can't pay!
I'm keeping this until you've got the money you owe!
Amadeus:
Oww...What a violent man... The drink was cheap...
And there were no pork cutlets either...
Amadeus:
Oh, but losing my travel bag was a bad blow.
I don't want him selling it to the pawn shop.
Mash:
...Master, that's Amadeus lying on the ground in front of us.
Mash:
He appears to have been bounced out of the tavern like a pinball.
Fujimaru 1:
What happened?
Fujimaru 2:
You okay, scum?
Amadeus:
Oh dear. You've caught me at an embarrassing moment.
Fujimaru, Mash, are you two getting lunch as well?
Amadeus:
I would advice against that tavern.
The meat and fish are excellent, but the drink is awful.
Amadeus:
And the customer service is abysmal! What kind of establishment throws you out just because you can't pay?
Mash:
Amadeus, did you go in there without any money?
Amadeus:
Of course I did.
I'm a genius composer.
Amadeus:
God loves me and says I get an unlimited tab for everything.
Amadeus:
But the owner here knows nothing about music!
He doesn't even have a single piano in his tavern!
Dr. Roman:
Taverns in this era don't have pianos, obviously.
From his perspective, you're the crazy one.
Amadeus:
How am I crazy? I played him a song on my flute.
It wasn't a full concert, but it should more than suffice.
Mash:
T-That sounds wonderful. I think a song from Amadeus would be worth a full day's meals, not just one.
Dr. Roman:
I see. And what kind of song did you play for him, Amadeus?
Amadeus:
Well, it's untitled, but if I gave it a name, perhaps,
"A fugue to inspire sudden bowel movements."
Amadeus:
As you can tell from my Noble Phantasm, it worked perfectly. It was hilarious seeing the line to the bathroom.
Mash:
Senpai, he's bad news! He's the kind of Servant you can't let wander around on his own!
Amadeus:
Hahaha! You're making me blush!
Still, excellent timing.
Amadeus:
I've had my revenge on the owner, but he took my bag of instruments. I need to make money quickly.
Amadeus:
Will you come with me for a while?
I just need a simple bodyguard.
Mash:
...We're all the way outside town.
What are we doing here, Amadeus?
Amadeus:
Oh, there are bandits in this area that attack merchant wagons. If I get rid of them, I'll be paid in gold.
Amadeus:
Look, here they come.
I'm counting on you, Master. Teach them a lesson!
--BATTLE--:
Bandit:
What's going on? They're as strong as raging bulls!
We can't beat'em by ourselves! Bring it over here!
Mash:
R-Raging bulls is rather rude, isn't it Master?
Amadeus:
Well, anyone would think that seeing the way you swing that shield. Then add in the size of your chest—
Mash:
Monsieur Amadeus, one more word and your category might switch from ally to enemy.
Amadeus:
Oh my. How scary. I'd love to tease you more, but we're in the middle of combat.
Amadeus:
Fujimaru, the bandits haven't given up yet.
The big one's coming—
Bandit:
Okay, take off the leash! Go, Patricia!
There's your targets! Go ahead and eat them!
Wyvern:
GRAAAAAWR!
Mash:
A-A stray wyvern...!
They must have a decent breeder with them!
Amadeus:
Yes, I'm surprised, too. And disgusted.
Talk about a waste of talent!
Amadeus:
If they've got the talent to train a wyvern, why are those idiots wasting their lives on this?
--BATTLE--:
Amadeus:
Well, wasn't that a nice haul? We got paid three times what I expected, Fujimaru, Mash!
Mash:
Yes.
I didn't expect to capture 23 people.
Dr. Roman:
They were tough enough to have a wyvern with them.
Each one's worth a pretty penny, and all together they're worth even more.
Fujimaru 1:
Now you can live the high life.
Fujimaru 2:
Now you can pay off your debt.
Amadeus:
That's right. I can pay my tab at that tavern, then at the others...And then I guess that's all of it.
Mash:
You owe money at other taverns too!?
Amadeus:
Yes. Most just wouldn't let me in.
Otherwise, why would I go to a new place?
Mash:
I don't know...Amadeus's skills and appearance are so impressive, but he's got too many personality problems.
Mash:
Next time we summon him, please summon him at an age where he's more dignified.
Fujimaru 1:
You mean when he's older?
Mash:
Yes. An old Amadeus should be a lot more calm.
Fujimaru 2:
You mean when he's younger?
Mash:
Yes. He'll be less powerful in battle, but a child of 12 won't be going to pubs.
Dr. Roman:
No, that's impossible Fujimaru.
A Servant is summoned at the height of their powers.
Dr. Roman:
It's at the time of their lives when that Heroic Spirit was strongest. Otherwise there'd be no point.
Dr. Roman:
As long as he's a Servant, Amadeus will carry this form.
Well, his age might change if he's in a different class...
Amadeus:
I'm never anything but a Caster.
So you won't see me old, or young.
Amadeus:
And I'll tell you something else, Mash.
There are only two kinds of artist Servants.
Mash:
Two kinds?
Um...What do you mean?
Amadeus:
I mean their age when they're summoned.
Whether they appear as children or adults.
Amadeus:
I can promise you that artist Servants will all either be children or young adults. Nothing else.
Amadeus:
Servants are summoned at the height of their powers,
right? That means when they were a genius.
Amadeus:
The ones who appear as children grew up to be decent, dignified adults.
Amadeus:
That's why they manifest as "children," when they were called geniuses. Child prodigies who didn't care about the problems they caused.
Dr. Roman:
Oh, I see. An artist's talent comes from their instincts.
And they're summoned when those instincts were strongest?
Mash:
In other words, they're summoned as children, when they were pure geniuses. And the young adults?
Amadeus:
Those ones are weirdos and scums, who would never change until the day they die!
Mash:
...
Dr. Roman:
...It sounds so convincing when he says it...
And what an awful Servant he is...
Amadeus:
Oh, it's dinner time!
My tab's paid off, so it's off to my favorite pub.
Amadeus:
Oh, but I do need to thank you.
Here, Fujimaru. A present from me.
Amadeus:
This is also my thanks for everything you do for me.
Buh-bye, then! You guys have a nice dinner too!
Mash:
He's gone... Some Servants have no interest in the era they're summoned to,
Mash:
And some Servants, like Amadeus, act like they belong there...
Mash:
There really are all different types of Heroic Spirits...
