Singularity 3: Sealed Ends of the Four Seas - Okeanos
Prelude
Pirate: Cannon ready!
Drake: All right, FIRE—!
Pirate: Dammit, it's no good! Looks like it's not working after all!
Drake: I can see that! We're fools to be taking them seriously!
Drake: Hard to port! Time to make a run for it, men! Catch the breeze and flee!
Pirate: Breeze?! Isn't this more like a storm?
Pirate: If we put the sails up,our ship will be blown away!
Drake: It's okay! Even pirates wanna fly sometimes!
Drake: Now you'll have more lame stories for when we return to land! Maybe they'll finally work on the ladies!
Drake: And returning from the skies? That's a tale any woman of wit will love!
Pirate: Hah! Our Pelican's seriously getting some air now! Looks like the boss is out of control!
Drake: What! Pelican? What the HELL did you just call my ship!?
Pirate: The Hind! The Golden Hind, ma'am! My mistake!
Pirate: All right! Hang tight, you little twerps!
Pirate: Our boss' good luck is the real deal! Believe in her, and she'll get us out of this alive!
Pirate: Once we're on land again, even swabbies will get to feast! Don't you go dyin' on me now!
Pirates: AAAAHHH! After what we've seen,we'd follow you into the depths of hell, Captain!
Drake: Don't be silly. I've got no use for dead people! A pirate's all about staying alive and sailing!
Drake: Now, get to work you idiots! We'll win this war and return to drink ourselves silly!
Pirates: OOOOOOH! Captain Drake, you're the best! I love being a pirate!
F：???: ...You managed to escape this massive whirlpool...And you aren't even a Heroic Spirit. Unbelievable...
F：???: But—Heh heh, hahahahaha! That's what makes you Francis Drake! Your legend is true!
F：???: Hahaha! HAHAHAHAH! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOL!
--SECTION BREAK--
A：???: —I woke up at the same time today.
A：???: I checked my temperature. My five senses. To drive the point home, I said my name out loud.
A：???: A deep breath—I confirmed my consciousness,as I was told it might disappear each time I fell asleep.
A：???: I was myself. My existence had been approved one more day.
B：???: Good morning, Number 2. Aren't you cold? The temperature outside is 70 below.
B：???: It's especially cold this morning. Well, I suppose that's irrelevant as long as you're in this room.
A：???: There in that clean, comfortable room,I said what came to my mind, "That's quite troublesome. "
B：???: ...Any inconveniences? If there's something you don't like, please let me know.
A：???: He smiled as he told me that,and gave me a very pained look.
A：???: I thought, perhaps, that part of his body was in pain. "Are you okay? " I asked him.
B：???: ...Yeah, I'm fine. Guess my worries were unwarranted. Good morning, ■■. Congrats on your 5,110th awakening.
A：???: "Thank you very much," I responded. It was how I genuinely felt.
A：???: I was extremely happy. For one more day,I'd get to enjoy the wonders of this world.
Fou: Fou! (plod, plod, plod)Fou! FOU!! (plod, plod, plod, plod)
Fujimaru 1: Oww, oww.
Fujimaru 2: Stop, stop.
Mash: N-No, Fou! You must not bite. You should use a gentler touch.
Mash: Even if they are as dense as a rock. See, like a blade peeling a carrot.
Fou: Fou!
Fujimaru 1: ...Good morning, Mash.
Fujimaru 2: I'm already awake, Mash.
Mash: ...My. Non-REM sleep to fully awake in a single second...
Mash: Good morning, and very impressive, Senpai. You're clearly enthusiastic about being entrusted with the Continuation of Humanity.
Mash: I'm serious about it too. Let's be optimistic and head to the control room!
Dr. Roman: Good morning everyone, how did you all sleep? I didn't sleep much.
Dr. Roman: We defeated Lev Lainur and retrieved the second Holy Grail...That's great, but there are more questions.
Dr. Roman: What was that pillar of flesh? Who was that,claiming to be one of the 72 Demon Gods?
Dr. Roman: We unfortunately don't have the time or resources to analyze these questions.
Mash: ...Um, Dr. Roman. Speaking of the 72 Demon Gods, well...
Dr. Roman: Yeah, I can only think of one thing. The familiars who served a certain ancient king.
Fujimaru 1: Ancient king?
Fujimaru 2: Familiars?
Da Vinci: That's right! The King of Ancient Israel,and the greatest summoner in the world of mages!
Da Vinci: The familiars who served him were the infamous 72 Demon Gods!
Fou: Fou!?
Mash: Huh! Are you Da Vinci?
Da Vinci: Yes. Good. Perfect! Mash, I love your reaction!
Da Vinci: It was worth slipping those cue cards to Roman! As a genius, my stage entries must be grand!
Dr. Roman: ...Sigh. Please don't tire me out so early in the morning, Da Vinci.
Dr. Roman: Also, please refrain from spreading rumors. None of this information is substantiated.
Dr. Roman: To begin with, the 72 Demon Gods are all fantasies. Demon Gods don't actually exist.
Dr. Roman: These days people speculate that they were merely familiars broken down into 72 different roles, right?
Da Vinci: Yeah. But since the roles were so clearly defined,some theorize that they may be the origin of angels.
Da Vinci: And since he actually claimed to be one, it's not unrelated?
Da Vinci: How about the hypothesis that Lev, or the mastermind behind him, summoned "a certain ancient king? "
Dr. Roman: ...That possibility does exist...Still, I find the idea of 72 Demon Gods hard to believe...
Da Vinci: Why is that? I mean, Fujimaru actually fought one, right?
Dr. Roman: That's why. The data I have seems to correspond with what I would expect from a "demon. "
Dr. Roman: But, uh, how do I put this...It follows the legend too well. The concept of demons came much later than that king.
Dr. Roman: Suppose that king really did turn into a Heroic Spirit. His Noble Phantasm would be a lot simpler and smarter.
Dr. Roman: It would be strange to have such an ominous Demon God, one that modern-day people know of, serving under him.
Da Vinci: Hmm. You have a point. The chance that they're just assuming the name is high.
Da Vinci: Now, if we could just ask Servants related to Demon Gods a few questions, it would make our lives infinitely easier.
Dr. Roman: Yeah. That's why, for now, I won't comment on the Demon God Lev transformed into. It's still anybody's guess.
Dr. Roman: Back on topic...Let's talk about obtaining the third Holy Grail.
Dr. Roman: This may seem sudden, but Fujimaru,did you get seasick back in Rome?
Fujimaru 1: A little bit.
Dr. Roman: I see.... Right, of course.
Dr. Roman: Humans are creatures that have learned to adapt. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Mash: That's not very reassuring, Doctor.
Fujimaru 2: I'm fine.
Dr. Roman: Good! How reassuring. I was about to get motion sickness meds that "work" on the central nervous system, if need be.
Fou: FOU!
Dr. Roman: Oh? Fou is going to head out again?
Dr. Roman: ...Hmm. I'm not superstitious, but when Fou's around Mash's mental state stabilizes...I'll be counting on you.
Mash: ...I'm sorry Doctor, but if Fou's nearby during a crisis, I just feel so much calmer...
Fou: N'kyu.
Dr. Roman: New land always awaits us with each Rayshift. The more we find familiar, the better. Take him with you.
Dr. Roman: The year is 1573. The location— An ocean as far as the eye can see!
Mash: Ocean, you say?
Dr. Roman: Right. The geography is shifting correspondingly with the Singularity.
Dr. Roman: It doesn't look like there's an area that can be specifically marked "here. "
Dr. Roman: The sea only has several islands scattered around. I would like you to investigate the cause of the Singularity immediately.
Fujimaru 1: I hope we don't end up in the ocean...
Dr. Roman: There's no need to worry about that. We'll input the necessary coordinates for the Rayshift.
Dr. Roman: At the very least, you shouldn't end up in the ocean. Besides, you have another promising ally with you.
Mash: Ally?
Da Vinci: Here, I invented it. It's a rubber floaty. You can use it in case you get into trouble.
Mash: ...Sigh.
Fujimaru 2: Roger that.
Mash: Umm...It would be quite troublesome if we landed in the middle of the ocean right after being teleported.
Mash: I don't know how to swim. Senpai...You're not a great swimmer either, are you?
Dr. Roman: Don't worry, I've taken that into consideration for the purposes of the Rayshift.
Dr. Roman: At least you won't end up in the walls somewhere. In case you do end up in the ocean–
Da Vinci: Here, a floaty! Cool, isn't it? I took the liberty of designing it in Decalavian style.
Dr. Roman: Hahaha. This is needlessly prickly! Fitting the ocean theme, it's like a starfish!
Mash: —Dr. Roman? This is putting Senpai's safety on the line, right?
Dr. Roman: ...Sorry. It was just a little joke before departure. I shall tend to the Rayshift at all costs.
Mash: ...Hmm. I still have some worries,but we don't have the time to address all of them.
Mash: Master, let's go. I will give it everything I have.
Fujimaru 1: Yeah, let's do it, Mash!
Mash: Of course. Leave the combat to me once we arrive.
Fujimaru 2: I have a couple of errands...
Mash: Leave the errands till after we've returned to Chaldea. Now, let's go.
Dr. Roman: Hahaha. Mash has really started to take charge. Fujimaru is the type that gets henpecked, too.
Mash: ???
Fou: Fou!
Fujimaru 1: You're coming after all.
Fujimaru 2: I'll carry you.
Fou: N'kyu!
Dr. Roman: Looks like you're all set. Now, let's start the search for the third Holy Grail!
Announcement A: Unsummon Program, start. Spiritron Conversion, start.
Announcement A: Counting down to Rayshift. 3, 2, 1...
Announcement A: All procedures cleared. Grand Order, commencing operation.
Section 1: Pirates of Chaldea
Mash: ...
Dr. Roman: ...
Fujimaru 1: ...
Fujimaru 2: Hey, Mash...
Mash: ...True, we never did Rayshift to the ocean before.
Fujimaru 1: ...
Fujimaru 2: Yes, but Mash...
Mash: Yes, Senpai. I know exactly what you're trying to say.
Mash: ...Dr. Roman. If you have any excuses, let's hear them.
Dr. Roman: Well...Uh...Murphy's Law, was it?
Dr. Roman: When there's a chance of failure,you're sure to be guided towards that failure?
Dr. Roman: Also...When you think about it...
Dr. Roman: It is completely possible to be Rayshifted onto a deserted island and wait a full 28 years before help arrives, right?
Dr. Roman: Then wouldn't you say it's rather beneficial to have transport immediately available?
Fou: Fou...
Mash: ...
Pirate: Not really sure what's going on, but...Get 'em, fellas!
Mash: –Seems like Dr. Roman needs to be disciplined after all!
Dr. Roman: Sorry, I promise I meant well!
--BATTLE--
Pirate: Sorry about that...
Mash: ...Whew. I don't like to get rough, but with the situation as it is, I have no choice but to interrogate you...Forcefully.
Mash: Who are you, where is this ocean, and what's going on? Would you care to explain?
Pirate: Hey, we have no clue either, see. Before we knew it, we were afloat around here.
Pirate: Our compasses and maps are completely useless, too.
Pirate: When you've got no clue what's going on, see, you just attack the prey in front of you, right? It's the pirate's way.
Mash: What? So you had no idea who we were...
Mash: And you didn't know if it's safe to do so,yet you still attacked us?
Pirate: ♪That's right, yo ho♪♪Because we're pirates♪
Mash: ...What should we do, Senpai? He's started to sing like he's in a musical...
Fujimaru 1: Is he an idiot?
Fujimaru 2: Don't we have other leads?
Pirate: I may be an idiot, but I do have some leads. Word has it, there's a Pirate Island nearby.
Pirate: We're running low on food and water. I say it's a good idea to try the island...
Mash: Pirate...Island? Um, are there lots of pirates there?
Pirate: Yeah, it IS Pirate Island.
Dr. Roman: Hmmm.
Dr. Roman: ...For now, we don't have any leads that feel like leads. We might as well go there.
Mash: Understood...Well, everyone, I hereby exercise my rights as victor.
Mash: Please, man the wheel. Head towards this Pirate Island.
Pirate: Aye, aye, sir!
Mash: That would be, "Aye, aye, ma'am! "
Section 2: Pioneering Pirate Queen
Mash: Looks like this is Pirate Island...
Pirate: Woo-hoo! Women! Prey! Hunting! Looks like fun!
Mash: ...Looks like pirates are just as enthusiastic on land. I'm taking them out!
--BATTLE--
Mash: ...All right, next please.
Pirate: Hey, gimme a break. I didn't mean any harm...
Pirate: It was my instinct as a pirate...
Dr. Roman: Wh-What a poor excuse for a pirate!
Mash: Does anyone on this island have a grasp of the situation?
Pirate: Oh...That would be Boss, I guess.
Mash: Who's Boss?
Pirate: Heh heh heh, listen and be amazed...Francis Drake,the greatest, most glorious pirate on the high seas!
Dr. Roman: Why this swagger all of a sudden?
Da Vinci: Hmm. Perhaps it's a desperate attempt to seem more"pirate" like. That's what I think.
Pirate: After we get through the forest, you'll find the Great Pirate Francis Drake's secret hideout.
Pirate: Heh heh heh...You guys are done for. When Boss gets a hold of you, you'll be...
Dr. Roman: Why does this person keep talking like a grunt?
Da Vinci: Setting up one's character is important in any era. It's even normal to recreate your body into a beautiful idol.
Dr. Roman: Sorry Da Vinci, but can you just go back to your workshop?
Pirate: What's with all the ruckus? Is it magic? Magic or something!?
Fou: Fou.
Pirate: Oh my, what is this adorable little creature. It looks delicious.
Fou: Fou!?
Fujimaru 1: Eat him and I'll beat you till you cry.
Fujimaru 2: Eat him and I'll crush you till you cry.
Pirate: Yes, sorry!
Mash: Master, we need to press onward.
Mash: Francis Drake. One of the great heroes that pioneered this world.
Mash: We are in the midst of the Age of Exploration—If he's the real Drake, he's probably a living being.
Mash: He's the first voyager in history to sail around the globe and live to tell the tale.
Mash: England received great fortune from his actions. They bested Spain, who had been dominating the world seas.
Mash: Spain was once touted as The Sun That Never Sets. But even Spaniards feared him, the "El Draque"...
Mash: Truly the "Hero Who Brought Down the Sun. " The prosperity of the British Empire wouldn't be possible without Captain Drake.
Mash: Though Drake was officially sanctioned by the state as a corsair...A pirate is still a pirate.
Mash: Judging from the behavior of pirates we've met so far,odds are high that he's a good-for-nothing thug.
Fujimaru 1: Don't let your guard down.
Fujimaru 2: Roman's just as good-for-nothing.
Mash: Yes, that is correct.
Mash: Most likely a gluttonous giant, a nefarious character able to grab a barrel in one hand and chug its contents.
Mash: ...It is quite disturbing, but there is no doubt he is a key person of this era.
Mash: We must somehow get the help of Francis Drake.
Pirate: Boss! BOSS! We've got enem...err, guests, I mean!
Pirate: They said they wish to speak with you, Boss!
Drake: The hell? Geez, right when I'm in a good mood from this good rum–
Drake: Guests? Are they pirates?
Pirate: Umm, I don't think so! They seem a bit classier than us, and a bit more violent!
Mash: ...A bit?
Drake: The hell is that? Well then, government? Or army?
Pirate: Uhh, I don't think they're any of those.
Drake: So you don't know...Fine, bring them in!
Mash: If you'll excuse me.
--ARROW--
Drake: ...Well now,you certainly brought me some strange ones, Bombe.
Pirate: Yeah. But they've got their good points.
Pirate: Not only did they save our lives,but they're excited to meet their idol captain.
Drake: Idol. I'm their idol? Really?
Pirate: Yeah. They've been saying how great you are,how Drake can blast away the Spanish Armada in an instant!
Pirate: That Drake's a giant over 3 meters tall who downs rum by the barrel. They're really excited!
Drake: Whaaat? What's up with that? I haven't committed such sins yet!
Mash: ...Um, Senpai. I'm so stunned I can't speak. (whispering)
Dr. Roman: Me too. Who knew that THE Francis Drake was— (whispering)
Fujimaru 1: Who knew she was a woman!
Fujimaru 2: Yeah, who knew she was a beautiful lady!
Drake: Stand aside, Bombe. I'll do the talking.
Drake: So? Who on earth are you? Looks like you took good care of my boys.
Fujimaru 1: We're from the Organization.
Fujimaru 2: We're from Chaldea.
Mash: You must be Francis Drake.
Mash: My name is Mash Kyrielite. I'm part of the Chaldea Security Organization.
Mash: This is my Master–Fujimaru.
Drake: Chaldea? What do the "stargazers" want with us? Are they here to sell us some new maps of constellations?
Dr. Roman: Wha-? This drunk actually knows her stuff! Even the origins of Chaldea!
Drake: ...Something feels really shallow about you, sir.
Drake: Cowardly, gutless, pessimistic...A good man,but a chicken. I hate people like you the most.
Mash: ...Perfect. Senpai, her analysis...I mean instinct, is perfect!
Dr. Roman: Shucks...
Drake: Well, spare me the details. They're just a pain in the ass. So, what does Chaldea want with me anyway?
Mash: ...Right, we were sent to fix all the anomalies in this era.
Drake: ...Okay.
Mash: Captain Francis Drake. Since you're so great, you've probably already noticed.
Mash: Something is wrong with this era, with this world.
Mash: The ocean you've spent your days in,and the ocean we see before us, are not the same.
Drake: ...Heh, all this talk about the world, the era,they were things I decided to completely ignore...
Drake: ...But I can't ignore talk about the ocean. You're right, something did feel strange.
Mash: ...I thought so! We can explain why—
Drake: —But when I say "strange," I don't mean it as a bad thing. There's no other world that's as fun as this one!
Drake: Isn't that right, you scumbags?
Pirate: Woo-hoo! You bet! You're the best, Boss! Hear, hear, to never-ending rum!
Mash: Whaaaaaaaat?
Drake: You see? We pirates long for freedom,even if it entails evil deeds!
Drake: If you insist on speaking with me...You must pass some tests first.
Drake: Try to defeat me, THE Francis Drake. Then we can talk!
Drake: I'm as drunk as they come right now! Let's see if you have what it takes to sober me up!
Dr. Roman: I guess too much freedom is sometimes a bad thing. Like in France, please use the back of the blade!
Mash: O-Of course! I shall respond to Captain Drake's request. Master!
Fujimaru 1: Okay, let's do this!
Fujimaru 2: Let's go!
--BATTLE--
Mash: S-So powerful...This person is flesh and blood, right?
Dr. Roman: W-Well, she should be. Thing is, I'm getting a magical energy reading from her.
Mash: So she's either a mage–or a hero from birth?
Drake: Ahhhh! That hits the spot. Rum's got nothing on this, I'm telling you.
Pirate: Hey Boss! You all right?
Drake: Hahaha! What are you talking about? Of course I'm all right!
Drake: That aside though...Seems that I lost.
Drake: You can boil me, fry me, sleep with me,anything you want!
Fujimaru 1: I'll pass.
Fujimaru 2: I'm good.
Mash: Master, I don't think you need to reply every time...
Drake: Oh? I see, I see. In that case, I guess it can't be helped.
Drake: Anyway, a loss is a loss,I'll hear you guys out.
Drake: But, you know what? From the looks of it, you want a ride, don't you?
Drake: You're looking for something, but are unfamiliar with these seas. That's why you need to rely on me, pirate or not.
Fujimaru 1: You being a pirate is irrelevant.
Fujimaru 2: We need you, Francis Drake.
Drake: I see.... Hmm, hah, so that's it.
Drake: So? What exactly do you want from us? We lost, so we'll give you anything other than our lives.
Mash: ...First, we must understand the situation. "Where" exactly are we?
Mash: England? Or closer to Spain, perhaps? Or are we in the Caribbean?
Drake: Uhh, sorry. Come to think of it, we don't know either.
Mash: So all that revelry and you don't even know!?
Drake: Right, because there's no shortage of food or booze.
Drake: All right. Now that we've surrendered to you,we're officially part of your crew!
Drake: How about we start off with a toast!
Mash: H-Hey, wait a sec...
Drake: C'mooon, it's fine, it's all good.
Mash: It's NOT good! Hey, what are you...No, wait! Master, save me!
Dr. Roman: ...Hm? What are these readings...
Fujimaru 1: What's up?
Dr. Roman: Nah, must be an error. I'll make some adjustments.
--ARROW--
Drake: All right, men! To our two new comrades, Fujimaru and Mash.
Drake: Huh? That's backwards. To their new comrades, us–
Drake: Cheers!
Pirate: Cheers!
Mash: Oh, but we really don't have time for this...
Fujimaru 1: It can't be helped.
Fujimaru 2: There's nothing we can do.
Mash: Please don't give in so easily! We have to set sail and check out these waters immediately...
Drake: What's with the gloomy look? You'll never find treasure with an attitude like that!
Mash: That's not what I mean. If you're going to help, please consider our situation–
Drake: Huh? Oh, I get it, more or less. These waters are abnormal, right?
Drake: I mean, I've seen superhumans walking around who won't even budge from cannon fire.
Mash: Servants!
Drake: Being a pirate myself, see,I've been through my share of chaos.
Drake: I can usually tell when it's something bad and unavoidable.
Drake: These waters are abnormal. One moment we're in a jungle, the next we're in a temperate Mediterranean climate–
Drake: The currents and winds are a mess, too. I mean, even sailing straight out into the sea is tricky.
Drake: ...Moreover, there's no "continent" in this ocean. Nor is there an "England. "
Mash: So, you already knew that much...
Drake: Hence why we were already planning on a new journey as soon as tomorrow.
Drake: Doesn't make sense for pirates to settle down on land. Gotta find a town to call our home base.
Drake: Tonight was supposed to be the pre-party. But, you guys showed up out of nowhere.
Mash: I see...
Fujimaru 1: Sorry for interfering.
Fujimaru 2: Pardon us.
Drake: Don't sweat it. You guys are a good omen!
Drake: From what I can tell,you know how to handle a cannon or two. Right?
Mash: I've never tried, but probably.... Um, so if you already knew this much, why did you attack us?
Drake: Ahahaha! Well, isn't that obvious? Because it seemed like fun!
Mash: Such a trivial reason...
Drake: So, Fujimaru you say? You the–captain or something?
Mash: Something similar, I would say.
Drake: Heh heh heh. In that case–Drink up!
Drake: Let's be friends. From one captain to another, eh?
Fou: Fou!? Fofou? FOOOOOOOOOU!
Mash: ...Huh?
Drake: Now, someone knows how to hold their liquor.
Mash: U-Umm...Senpai?
Fujimaru 1: What is it, Mash?
Mash: The H-Holy Grail...
Fou: Fou!
Fujimaru 1: I know.
Mash: Senpai, the Holy Grail–!
Fujimaru 1: We'll get it.
Mash: No, that's not what I mean. The Holy Grail...
Fujimaru 1: For everyone who fought with us!
Mash: Um, okay.... That's not what I mean, Senpai!
Fujimaru 1: Let's do our best, Mash!
Mash : Senpai, how many fingers am I holding up?
Fujimaru 1: I see two Mashes, so...
Mash : Get ahold of yourself! Senpai! Right in front of you! The Holy Grail! It's here!
Drake: Why're you staring at me all of a sudden? You see someone you recognize?
Mash: That's not it at all! That thing! What the captain has in her hands!
Drake: Ah-ha! You got a fine pair of eyes there. Gold tankards are usually so tasteless, but not this one.
Drake: It's not just the never-ending booze from it, either.
Drake: Place it on the table, and behold! It produces endless meat and fish!
Drake: I just happened to pick it up,but I doubt you'll find anything like this anywhere.
Pirate: What're you talking about, Boss? This wasn't coincidence. It was an adventure for several lifetimes!
Pirate: Seven endless nights! Giant destructive whirlpools in one ocean after another!
Pirate: And from within the maelstrom,the legendary lost city of Atlantis!
Pirate: "The time is upon us. By the 12 gods of Olympus, I shall create another flood and destroy all civilization! "
Pirate: That's what the big thing said right before Boss kicked its ass and seized the treasure!
Pirate: And with that, as crazy as it sounds,she became a hero! She saved the world!
Drake: Huh? Was it really that epic? It got on my nerves, so I gave it a piece of my mind.
Drake: That big lug called itself Poseidon. Can't really have that as a sailor.
Drake: That's why I put it in check and took its treasure, see? I even sank the entire city into the whirlpool. It was great!
G：Pirate: Bwaaaahahaha! Way to go, Boss! Both fortune and misfortune smiled upon you!
G：Pirate: You're gonna be single till the day you die! Or maybe you're actually a dude or something, eh Boss?
Drake: Now this is fun! We've got a new crew, and the booze is tasty! But we're takin' Bombe in a barrel later, and sinkin' him!
Drake: Now we sing, you idiots! Golden Hind, sing the crew's theme song!
Drake & Pirates: ♪Reap our treasure! ♪♪Down our ale! ♪
Fou: Fou...FOOOOOOOU!
Mash: Ahhh...Aahhh...I don't believe it...They're not lying!
Mash: Senpai, the Foundation of Humanity was on the verge of destruction in this era before we arrived!
Mash: And...Captain Drake, without even knowing,resolved it on a whim.
Mash: And the result—
Drake: Whoa, it's sinking into my body. I never get used to this, really.
Drake: With this treasure,I can even deal damage to those invincible guys.
Drake: But it goes in and out of my body. Makes my chest so tight, I can't stand it.
Mash: That Holy Grail! Captain Drake is the owner of this era's Holy Grail—
Mash: No, by saving this era, the Holy Grail chose her. She is truly the rightful owner of the Grail!
Mash: Doctor! Doctor!
Dr. Roman: Yes, yes, yes, what is it? Can you get back to me later?
Dr. Roman: The search program is acting up a bit. For some reason,it says the Holy Grail is right in front of you.
Mash: That's right! The Holy Grail is here! In front of us!
Dr. Roman: WHAT!?
Fou: Fou!
Fujimaru 1: Case closed! Woohoo!
Dr. Roman: And, Fujimaru seems to be in an awfully good mood?
Pirate A: Ow! Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing.
Pirate B: Huuuh? Shut up and mind your own business.
Pirate A: Huh?
Pirate B: Huuh?
Drake: And, now they're fighting. Looks like we have to stop them!
Mash: This is insane...
--BATTLE--
Drake: So...What? You guys came for this magical tankard...
Drake: I mean the Holy Grail? You can go back to your country if you have this?
Mash: ...Yes. Well, that's it, more or less.
Drake: Hmm. Well, I can't deny that I lost to you,and I even said I'd give you anything but my life.
Drake: Here, take it. You came here from a distant era, right? Thanks for making the trip.
Mash: Th-Thank you very much. Since we've retrieved the Holy Grail, we've resolved the Singularity of this era...
Fujimaru 1: Have we?
Fujimaru 2: I don't think we have.
Mash: ...You're right.
Mash: Doctor, the Holy Grail has been secured. Have there been any changes?
Dr. Roman: Not that I can tell. The Bolt of this era is still left unsecured.
Dr. Roman: The Holy Grail is indeed functioning to a certain extent. But, it's not as strong a force as before.
Dr. Roman: ...Maybe it's the real Holy Grail. The one that was in this era to begin with.
Mash: ...In other words, it's different from the Grails we've seen?
Dr. Roman: Yeah. The Grails that Lev Lainur supposedly placed disrupt the seven Foundations of Humanity.
Dr. Roman: But, there was another Holy Grail in these seas. Captain Drake is the one chosen by that Grail.
Dr. Roman: The reason behind the turbulent seas is that the opposing forces, the two Holy Grails, are in contention.
Dr. Roman: "The rightful Grail held by the savior Captain Drake,"and "Lev's Holy Grail brought in from the outside to disturb the world. "
Dr. Roman: As long as Captain Drake is around, this era won't fall. However, it won't return to normal, either.
Dr. Roman: In order to restore the seas—I fear we must retrieve Lev's Holy Grail after all.
Mash: ...I see. So it's not as urgent as previous eras,but the final objective is the same.
Fou: Fou...
Drake: There's that odd voice again...Say, who are you talking to, Mash?
Drake: You got a pet gnome or something?
Mash: No, it's not quite that cute. The Doctor is, how shall I say...
Mash: Think of it as a mysterious fairy,talking to us from a town really far away.
Drake: Sure. So, he's making you guys fight,while he gets to cozy up in his home?
Drake: In the end, what's this all about? You get what you came for?
Mash: ...No. It seems there's another Holy Grail, Captain Drake,one that shouldn't exist in this era.
Mash: Unless we retrieve it,the ocean will be like this forever.
Drake: Whoa, whoa, that sounds real dangerous.... Are you serious?
Fujimaru 1: Dead serious.
Fujimaru 2: Absolutely.
Mash: Which is why I'll give this back to you.... You were meant to have it, Captain.
Drake: O-Okay. I appreciate your courtesy.
Drake: ...Boy. I've never given up a treasure so easily,or had it returned so easily either...
Mash: Doctor, can I get some advice?
Dr. Roman: H-Hey, just hang on a second. I'm thinking. This is way beyond what I imagined...
Da Vinci: Then, may I ask a few questions?
Da Vinci: It's a pleasure to meet you, Francis Drake. I know this may seem very sudden, but do you have a wish?
Drake: Wish?
Da Vinci: For example, you're a pirate. You wish to gather all the treasures in the world, do you not?
Drake: Yeah, I suppose I do. So, do I just wish on this Grail to have it come true?
Da Vinci: Most likely. Are you going to?
Drake: Of course not. You know I'm a pirate, right?
Drake: A pirate that gets treasure by praying–That's a bad joke if I ever heard one.
Drake: Treasure should be won through power, wisdom, and courage.
Da Vinci: Hmm, that would mean your immediate wish is simply to secure enough water, food, and safety.
Da Vinci: In other words, you already had that wish granted.
Drake: ...I suppose that's true.
Da Vinci: The Holy Grail you hold has the power to create this world. However–this ocean is not what you desire.
Da Vinci: Which means, "something" is causing this world to exist. Someone is disrupting your ocean, and your era.
Da Vinci: There's only one thing to be done, right? You need to reclaim your own world.
Da Vinci: The people next to you, Mash Kyrielight and Fujimaru, exist to resolve issues of this nature.
Da Vinci: They're professionals who have defeated what you call "invincible guys" many times.
Drake: I see...I think I understand now. Thanks.
Drake: So, who does that make you?
Da Vinci: Leonardo Da Vinci. I died about 20 years before you were born. I'm a genius.
Drake: Oh. Never heard of you.
Da Vinci: W-What...did you say?
Drake: So, this world is broken after all. Which means that there's no treasure to begin with.
Mash: You could be right. I don't think there is...
Dr. Roman: No—there is! I believe there is!
Fujimaru 1: Doctor?
Fujimaru 2: Aren't you a little too excited?
Dr. Roman: In this world and era, "pirates" are a common thing.
Dr. Roman: For better or worse, the Age of Exploration was an unavoidable event that expanded the world.
Dr. Roman: The planet's pioneers entrusted their dreams to the unknown seas and the other side of the horizon.
Dr. Roman: ...And with all those "thoughts" and "desires" gathered,I wouldn't be surprised if a treasure really did exist here.
Drake: So, it does exist? Enough gold and silver and spices to sink this ship?
Dr. Roman: Yes. I, Dr. Roman, will guarantee that. There is a treasure–for sure!
Drake: ...I can't take it. I'm fired up, I'm fired up as hell! All right scumbags, let's drink up a storm first!
Drake: Our voyage tomorrow is going to be one unlike any other! No guarantee we'll return alive, so drink your hearts out!
Drake: Treasures! Riches! Spices! Tasty booze and uncharted adventures await us!
Pirate: CHEERS!
Mash: Wait, we're drinking again!?
Pirate: After all, we're pirates! ♪Both you and I are pirates! ♪
Mash: Ah, please! No more singing!
Section 3: Ghost Ship and New Island
Drake: All right, we're setting sail! Raise the flag, the Golden Hind is moving out!
Pirate: Aye, aye, Boss!
Drake: Blast that cannon! Let's liven things up!
Mash: Sigh...
Fujimaru 1: What's wrong?
Fujimaru 2: You're not used to the sea?
Mash: ...Yes. We saw never-ending land last time, but I've never experienced an ocean as far as the eye can see.
Mash: Ah, don't worry. I haven't let my guard down.... Senpai, you seem to be having fun.
Mash: Unfortunately, this is not the time for that. I'm afraid things will be slightly different this—
Mash: Ah, Senpai! Seagulls! Seagulls over there!
Mash: And look,I see more pirates there!
Mash: ......
Mash: Ahem. Now, here I go!
Fujimaru 1: Have fuuuuun.
Fujimaru 2: Good luck.
Mash: I-Is it just me,or are you sort of out of it, Master?
--BATTLE--
Mash: Whew...I'm all sticky from the seawater.
Drake: Hey, hey, Fujimaru and Mash. Got a second?
Mash: Yes, what is it?
Drake: Those people we took out have vanished. In your eyes, is that possible?
Mash: ...True, they have disappeared. Doctor?
Dr. Roman: Yes, just as I thought. Seems like it's the concept of pirates that exist in these waters.
Mash: Concept, you say?
Dr. Roman: A type of spiritual body etched in the memories of the"Age of Exploration. " They can only act to fulfill their roles.
Dr. Roman: They have their own will, but are models of an idea. Call them an infinite copy of the "average pirate. "
Dr. Roman: They do little damage, but unless the world is corrected,these "bugs" will keep spawning forever.
Drake: ...What do you mean by that?
Mash: If I had to sum it up in a single word,those pirates are like...Ghosts.
Drake: ...But, they took damage from bullets, you know? Not just mine either, from the scallywags as well.
Mash: Sorry, let me rephrase that. Think of them as ghosts with physical bodies.
Drake: S-So they have physical bodies. Then we're okay! There's no problem!
Mash: Yes, that's correct. Now, let us be on our way!
Fou: Fou!
--ARROW--
Drake: By the way.
Mash: Yes?
Drake: What do you think are in these waters, anyway?
Mash: If what the doctor says is true,there might be a treasure here.
Mash: But...That means these waters are basically the same as those in the Age of Exploration.
Mash: ...Which means Drake isn't the only pirate going after the treasure.
Drake: Ahah! That gets me all fired up! First come, first served. How simple is that?
Pirate: But Boss,we don't have any leads on that treasure.
Drake: Fool. We're going to start by finding those leads.
Pirate: ...Boss! An island in sight! East-northeast of here!
Mash: ...It is indeed an island. Doctor?
Dr. Roman: Yes. I'm detecting Servants on that island.
Mash: Captain Drake. That island has those superhumans you mentioned before.
Mash: Please have all the pirates retreat. The only ones who can fight them are myself, Senpai, and you.
Drake: Already? Well, you guys are with me this time. Hey scumbags, protect the ship!
Drake: Fujimaru and I are gonna go check things out!
Pirate: Roger that, Boss! We look forward to your return!
Mash: We need to proceed with caution, Master. We still don't know if the Servant is a friend or foe...
Drake: Hmm...Over there, perhaps?
Fou: Fou!?
Mash: Ack! Drake? Is that an enemy?
Mash: Ahhh! Fou, stop running around!
Drake: No. But I felt a vague presence, so I took a shot.
Mash: "Vague? " "Took a shot!? "
Drake: If you get a bad feeling, fire first, ask later. That's the key to survival, you know?
Mash: How violent...That's how an outlaw thinks!
Fujimaru 1: So, did it hit?
Fujimaru 2: Did you get it?
Drake: Hah! You won't know until you look for yourself! I'll go see if it's dead or not.
Mash: ...Captain Drake is unlike Jeanne or Nero. She's a type of person we've never encountered before.
Mash: At any rate, there goes our plan to proceed with caution. Senpai, what should we do?
Fujimaru 1: Let's calm down.
Fujimaru 2: Let's play it by ear.
Mash: ...Yes. I will calm down and play it by ear.
Drake: Hey! Mash, Fujimaru! Come over here!
Mash: A...Stone tablet?
Drake: That's right. Can you read what's written on it?
Mash: It–appears to be runes of some sort. Doctor, can you decode it?
Da Vinci: I see, I see, these are relatively new runes. I'd say they were carved within the last week.
Dr. Roman: Um, Da Vinci? That's my job, yes? Don't take my job, okay?
Da Vinci: Let's see here...
Da Vinci: "Bloodaxe King, once laid to rest, shall awaken once more. "
Da Vinci: ...That's the general gist of it. But, Bloodaxe King? Why does that sound familiar–
Dr. Roman: Th-The Bloodaxe King is the name of the Viking king that ruled Norway in the 9th century!
Dr. Roman: Be careful. I'm picking up readings similar to those copied pirates from that stone tablet!
Mash: Enemies?
Drake: ...Yeah, it appears so. I'm getting a very bad vibe here. Mash, Fujimaru!
Drake: Get ready for a fight...We're goin' in! The first to strike is the winner!
Drake: ...Here they come!
Pirate: For King Eric,our great and glorious leader!
Mash: Roger. Master...Let's go!
--BATTLE--
Mash: ...Whew. The battle has ended, Master.
Dr. Roman: Searching surroundings...Nothing detected. The nearby Servant signals are not moving.
Dr. Roman: They haven't noticed us? Anyway, you need to get out of there fast.
Mash: Roger that. Let's move on.
--ARROW--
Drake: Mmm...Sniff, sniff. Treasure, will I get a whiff of that treasure?
Mash: Captain Drake, treasure has no scent.
Drake: Ahaha! You think so, Mash? Treasure does indeed have a scent.
Mash: What?
Drake: Ah, that look says you don't believe me! All right, let's make a bet.
Drake: If there's treasure up ahead, like I said...Hmm, what should we do?
Drake: I know, how about coming with me on a trip around the world?
Mash: Around the world you say?
Drake: When I flee these waters and return to England–I'm going to sail around the world on the Golden Hind.
Drake: What do you say? If you help me out,I bet I'll be the luckiest pirate ever.
Mash: Around the world...
Drake: Of course Fujimaru will come along, too. You're Mash's Master, aren't you?
Fujimaru 1: I'll see what I can do.
Fujimaru 2: I'll think about it.
Drake: All right, and if I lose–If I lose...Hmm, is there anything else you want?
Fujimaru 1: Nothing.
Fujimaru 2: I have enough already.
Mash: There is nothing I want. If I had to choose,having your assistance like this is enough.
Drake: Really? That's really greedy, you got me there! That's gonna cost you dearly!
Mash: E-Excuse me? Senpai and I both answered that we've been repaid already. Actually, Senpai, we have a good deal.
Drake: What's gotten into you? You said you have no wishes. That's the most troublesome wish.
Drake: Because, you can't buy items that "don't exist. "I am, after all, a merchant!
Drake: If I can't keep my customers happy, then I'll be a third-rate one. And THAT, I will not have.
Drake: That's why first,I need to get whatever it is you want.
Drake: But, you said you couldn't think of anything. Now, this is going to be a problem. How can I deliver something you don't want?
Mash: ...
Dr. Roman: ...I see. I'm beginning to understand why this crude outlaw of a woman has THAT skill.
Dr. Roman: –Here they come! Servants are on the move.
Dr. Roman: Looks like they sensed you guys. They're coming in fast!
Mash: Hopefully we can talk it out with them–
F：???: Gagagagaga! Gigigigi—giiiiiiii!!
F：???: M-My! My name! Eric! The Grand...Eric!
F：???: Gah-go! Kill! Kill anyone in the way! Kill. KILL! Gigigiiii–!
Mash: ...He's not getting it.
Fujimaru 1: Seems so.
Fujimaru 2: Good luck.
Mash: Yes, Mash Kyrielight–going in! Captain Drake!
Drake: Sure thing! Vikings from Norway! They're like our ancestors, you know–
Drake: I'll pay my respects, but also give him a dose of reality! Fujimaru, this is how we say it in the pirate world!
Drake: "Shut up, you bearded freak! The old need to retire! "
--BATTLE--
Eric Bloodaxe: Gi, gi, gi...Ga, ga, ga...Not giving it to you! It's mine!
Eric Bloodaxe: It is...mine...but...
Mash: ...Eric Bloodaxe has been eliminated.
Dr. Roman: Wait, that's odd. He vanished, but there's still a Servant response...
Mash: What's the matter?
Dr. Roman: Huh? It's gone. Hmm, since coming to this era, I've been off my game.
Dr. Roman: Sorry, the equipment's not in the best shape. It's going to be a little hard to track you.
Dr. Roman: There are no more Servants on that island,and those pirates from before are all gone.
Drake: I see. Then how about we go on a treasure hunt?
Mash: Do you think there's treasure, Senpai?
Fujimaru 1: I do.
Mash: Really? ...It would be interesting if there was one.
Fujimaru 2: I don't.
Mash: If you consider it rationally, there shouldn't be.... Though it would be fun if there were.
Drake: Hey! Over here! I found something!
Mash: Huh? You did? Let's go, Master!
Drake: See this ship? It's probably the one that king was on.
Mash: Doctor, can you find out?
Dr. Roman: Yeah, but I don't think there's any need. It's a larger version of the ships the Vikings used.
Dr. Roman: Therefore, it should look like something out of the 9th century...but it's good as new.
Mash: It does not appear to be...a treasure.
Drake: Sure it is. You guys wait right here. If this is a Viking ship, I'm sure it has one–
Drake: Found it. Treasure!
Mash: ...A book?
Drake: When sailing, Vikings record everything from starting point to destination using pictures and glyphs.
Drake: Coast shapes, shoal spots, current traits, and paths–
Drake: If they appeared here out of the blue that's one thing,but if they sailed here...
Drake: Yes, I smell fresh ink! This must be the chart for this island and it's surroundings.
Drake: There's no better treasure for us since we're about to set sail into the seas, right?
Mash: ...You have a good point. Captain Drake, well...You seem violent, but you're actually pretty pragmatic.
Drake: Impressed? Now, how about that trip around the world?
Mash: Umm...
Fujimaru 1: I'll think about it.
Fujimaru 2: After this battle is over.
Drake: I see, I see! With you guys, our strength would be a hundredfold! We'll depart after restocking food and water.
Drake: Now, time to return to the ship!
Mash: ...Senpai, are you sure about this? By correcting this era, the memories of us–
Fujimaru 1: Not a problem.
Mash: ...As her memories disappear,I suppose the problem itself will be gone, but...
Fujimaru 2: I forgot about that.
Mash: Wait, Senpai...Were you really planning on sailing around the world?
Mash: ...Oh, please stop teasing me!
Drake: Now, according to the Viking map–there's an island to the northwest.
Drake: Considering our speed, it'll take about 10 hours. If we can catch wind, maybe even less.
Mash: We can have the glyphs analyzed. Doctor, I'm transferring the data.
Dr. Roman: Very well. One book shouldn't be an issue over here. That said, I'd like a summoning point established soon.
Mash: Let's hope there's a Leyline on the next island.
Drake: All right, you scallywags! Time to set sail!
Section 4: Lightning and Goddess
E：???: (Pant, pant, pant...)
E：???: Ugh, no good. So tired, can't move, can't run.
E：???: I've never run so much in my life. Why am I a Servant in the first place?
E：???: I don't see "myself" here–Nor my "loser sister" either...
E：???: ...No, even if that girl isn't here, I'm fine. I'm so fine in all sorts of ways...
E：???: Sigh...I wonder who I'm talking to.
E：???: In the first place, this maze is "that" labyrinth, right? There's no way...out of here...and no string.
E：???: ...Wait, that means HE is here. As long as this labyrinth exists, HE is sure to be here.
E：???: !!! I knew it...
E：???: Something's coming from behind, too...ARGH! What am I supposed to do?
E：???: Auuuuuggggghhhh!
Drake: Hmm?
Mash: Something the matter?
Drake: Yes, the air tastes different here.
Mash: Tastes...different?
Drake: In different countries and lands, the air changes flavor.
Drake: The distance between England and France aside,when you travel to a new continent, the air really tastes differently.
Dr. Roman: Hmm. Perhaps Miss Drake can detect changes in the wind due to differences in temperature and currents?
Drake: What's this "Miss Drake" business? You sound creepy when you put it that way, Mister Scholar!
Dr. Roman: S-Sorry. Please excuse me, Drake.
Dr. Roman: Mash, Fujimaru. What Drake says may be correct.
Dr. Roman: Your current location has obvious different temperatures and currents than the previous island.
Dr. Roman: With a little more time, I'm sure we can determine exactly where you are.
Pirate: Boss! There's a ship to the northwest!
Drake: All right, what flag?
Pirate: A pirate's flag I've never seen!
Drake: So, an enemy! Mash, Fujimaru, get ready! Time to get to work!
Mash: Aye, aye, Captain Drake! Here we go, Master!
--BATTLE--
Drake: All right, this side's taken care of.
Mash: This side as well. They were below average in combat power.
Pirate: Boss, here's their Jolly Roger.
Drake: Hmm, it doesn't look familiar. Mash, do you have any ideas?
Mash: If it's a famous flag, it might be in our records. Doctor, can you look into this?
Dr. Roman: Okay. You'll have the results right away.
Drake: All right, then I'm advancing this ship. If this chart is right, the island should be in sight soon!
--ARROW--
Dr. Roman: Yes. This island is way bigger than the other one. That's why we were able to locate a Leyline.
Dr. Roman: I'm sending you the coordinates, just follow them for now. But be careful...I'm detecting multiple life-forms.
Mash: Roger that. Drake, we'd like to head this way. Would that be all right with you?
Drake: It's fine. I was thinking of going in the same direction as well.
Mash: Then we'll depart. Let's go, Senpai.
Drake: This place is huge...Hard to imagine it's an island. This wind is amazing.
Mash: ...All true. Master, doesn't this feel like the time we were in–
Fujimaru 1: Rome?
Mash: Yes. I think it's a bit like when we were in Rome.
Fujimaru 2: France?
Mash: I believe it's closer to Rome than France.
Mash: Master,we're almost at the designated coordinates.
Drake: ...What the heck is that?
Mash: That–appears to be a skeleton,but something is slightly off.
Dr. Roman: Dragon Tooth Warriors. Soldiers forged from dragon fangs. Fujimaru, dispose of them.
--BATTLE--
Mash: The battle has ended, Master. Creating terminal point.
Dr. Roman: ...Huh? Something just...
Mash: What's wrong?
Dr. Roman: No, just my imagination. You can start setting up as usual.
Mash: Very well. Now, then–
Da Vinci: –All right, everyone. Time for a little history lesson,courtesy of yours truly.
Da Vinci: Right now, you're in the middle of the Age of Exploration.
Da Vinci: Many things were imported from the East, and Europe started advancing into the new land, fighting to gain a foothold.
Da Vinci: One of many things imported from the East were spices. Nutmeg, cloves, and peppercorns...or pepper.
Da Vinci: Pepper was necessary to help eat decomposing meat. In this era, it was more precious than gold.
Da Vinci: Case in point. I just transferred a pepper shaker to you. What do you think would happen when you hand that to Captain Drake.
Da Vinci: Try it.
Drake: Seeeeeeeeriously?
Fujimaru 1: She collapsed.
Fujimaru 2: She passed out.
Da Vinci: Amusing, right? Oh, and be sure to retrieve it. We shouldn't aimlessly disrupt their economy.
Da Vinci: In the meanwhile, the summoning circle is up. Use it to your heart's content.
Mash: Summoning circle confirmed. Terminal point established.
Dr. Roman: Oh, and yes...I got a hit on that pirate flag from earlier–
Dr. Roman: That's the flag of the legendary ■ate, ■■ of the "■■. "In other words, those pirates are ■■■ called ■■■■■.
Mash: Doctor? Doctor, the communications are acting up–Doctor!?
Dr. Roman: —
Mash: We've lost contact. What on earth could have...
Mash: Eek! An earthquake?
Drake: Get down. It's a big one!
Mash: ...It settled down. Master, are you all right?
Fujimaru 1: I'm fine.
Fujimaru 2: No injuries.
Mash: Seems that way. Thank goodness. How about you, Drake?
Drake: That was a breeze compared to a raging ocean. But I'm worried about my ship and crew. Can we go back for a bit?
Mash: Let's do that.
--ARROW--
Mash: The summoning circle has been established,but communications are still cut off.
Mash: We should move away from here, perhaps.
Drake: Huh? Hey, what's wrong? Something up?
Pirate: Boss...The ship won't move.
Drake: Huh?
Pirate: The ship, Boss! The ship won't budge, not an inch!
Drake: ...Sorry,but could you guys wait a second?
Drake: No good, it won't move. But I don't think there's anything wrong with the ship itself.
Drake: It's stuck like something's anchoring it real tight.
Drake: What on earth is happening? Fujimaru, this is your specialty, right?
Fujimaru 1: A type of Magecraft?
Fujimaru 2: A type of Bounded Field?
Mash: Yes, I believe that is correct. It looks like a Bounded Field has been drawn all around.
Mash: Its rank is low enough for Demi-Servants like me to escape...But I can't say the same for the ship.
Mash: Unless we take down whoever is creating this field,I'm afraid we'll be stuck here forever.
Drake: What are we gonna do?
Mash: Search and destroy. There is no other means of escape.
Drake: All right, if you say so then it must be true. Men! Stand your ground!
Drake: Behave and stay put. The real fight's gonna be above sea. Don't be wasting stuff!
Pirate: Aye, aye, Boss!
Drake: This is rather dull. That fortress earlier was completely empty, too.
Mash: To begin with, it's mysterious that artificial structures are on this island.
Mash: But that pattern...Could it be?
Mash: ...Hmmm? Is there a hole in that mountain?
Fujimaru 1: Let's take a look.
Fujimaru 2: Let's go inside.
Mash: This is...
Drake: Is this what you call a dungeon? Oh boy, the pirate blood in me is heating up!
Mash: Wait! We have no idea what the scope of this place is. I suggest we retreat at once and–
Drake: The way I see it, retreating's not gonna change a thing. That's what it means to stay on my ship.
Drake: Leave behind that goodie-goodie old self, Mash! Now, onwards! Treasure awaits!
Mash: I think we're rushing it too much...
Drake: See, they're here. Let's clean this up quickly!
--BATTLE--
Mash: I mean...Seriously!
Drake: Right or left...My gut says left!
Fujimaru 1: Should we trust her instincts?
Mash: I don't think so...But Captain Drake is a first-rate pirate.
Mash: She must also have keen intuition.... P-Probably.
Fujimaru 2: Remember where the entrance is?
Mash: Don't worry, I've recorded everything just in case. Not that I'd ever forget...
Mash: It's just a matter of going back the way we came. Getting separated along the way would be a bigger problem.
Mash: ...Oh I know. Master, let's hold hands.
Mash: It'd be a disaster if we got separated here. Holding hands would prevent that from happening.
Fujimaru 1: That's embarrassing...
Fujimaru 2: We don't have to...
Mash: Umm...I understand how you feel,but this is no time to be embarrassed, Master.
Mash: If we get separated,we might be wandering in this maze until we die.
Mash: It may be a bit awkward at first,but better safe than sorry...
Fujimaru 1: Are you embarrassed too, Mash?
Mash: ...N-No comment.
Fujimaru 2: I'm not embarrassed.
Mash: Th-That's fine. I feel...Slightly embarrassed...I think.
Mash: At any rate, we have now just proven that holding hands is necessary.
Mash: If you'll excuse me.
Mash: ...That reminds me, back then–You held my hand like this, too.
Mash: Now, it feels nostalgic. Even though not much time has passed.
Fou: Fou. Fou, Fou!
Drake: Hmmm? Hang on a moment.... I smell something.
Mash: What is it?
Drake: Blood.
Drake: ...Well, with my job I'm used to smelling stuff like this.
Mash: Look, the drops form a trail.
Drake: Looks like the wound itself wasn't that bad. A flesh wound.
Mash: It's our only clue. We should follow it!
--ARROW--
Drake: The blood trail stops here. I guess we'll have to give up tracking it further?
Mash: Not necessarily. Master, please stand back.
Drake: This is great. I was getting bored of dungeon-crawling anyway.
Drake: Let's take a break and light our guns up! All right, bring it on!
--BATTLE--
Drake: Well, fighting these non-humans, including the bones back there, means I now got some more great tales to tell.
Drake: Anyway, even these things die when you shoot a lead bullet through them. I learned something!
Mash: No, normally that wouldn't have any effect. It's because you possess the Holy Grail...
Mash: I think it continuously grants your wish of,"Whatever it is, gunfire is effective. "
Drake: Oh, is that what it is? So, I guess I shouldn't wonder about when the Wild Hunt is happening then.
F：???: Hey, it looks like they're here again. I thought you wiped them out...
F：???: Oh dear, isn't this just troublesome. What do you wanna do?
F：???: ...Hmmm. If you want to rampage, then be my guest?
F：???: Let me warn you...I don't like breaking a sweat. So, I'm not helping you.
--ARROW--
Drake: Hmmm...It's not like we're lost in here,but I'm still getting all kinds of bad vibes.
Mash: Bad vibes? What about you, Master?
Fujimaru 1: I'm getting bad vibes, too.
Mash: I see. If both you and the captain say so,perhaps we should be careful.
Fujimaru 2: I sense an encounter!
Mash: ...Encounter?
Mash: Hmm...What on earth could we encounter inside this dungeon, Master?
Mash: Don't tell me you're expecting to run into[♂ a cute girl /♀ a cute boy]...
Drake: !!! Stop right there!
Mash: !!!
Drake: Seems my hunch was right. Something's headed our way!
Mash: This is...a Servant!
H：???: ...Die.
Drake: I-It's huge! What on earth is this thing?
Asterios: Me...Asterios...Kill...All...You!
Mash: Another Berserker, like Eric the Bloodaxe King! Guess there's no use arguing!
Mash: Master, please be careful. Asterios is his lesser-known, original name–
Mash: People more commonly know him as the "Minotaur. "He's one of the monsters from Greek mythology!
Mash: This labyrinth is his territory. Retreat is not an option.
Mash: ...Let's go, Master!
--BATTLE--
Mash: Th-That was close! Wait...No way!
Asterios: Ugh...gi! Uh...uhh!
Drake: You're still alive after eating all those bullets? Talk about gluttony!
Asterios: Pro...tect!
Drake: Then it's time to bring out the culverin cannons! If we blow his head off, he's sure to go down!
Drake: Now–give Davy Jones my regards!
Asterios: Ugh!
F：???: ...Hold up!
Mash: Oh no...Two Servants?
F：???: All right! All right! I guess I just have to go with you.
F：???: Do whatever you want with me! Just hurry up!
F：???: Asterios is near death. He wouldn't be much use to you.
F：???: Besides, if we take too long, he'll die and then the labyrinth will collapse on you.
F：???: –We should hurry back. Leave the navigation to me.
Asterios: ...Uh...
Mash: U-Umm,I'm sorry. Do you have a moment?
F：???: What is it, Miss Lame-Shield? Let's hurry up and go where "he" is.
Mash: L-Lame!?
Drake: Hey brat, don't talk to us like that. You're the one getting rescued.
F：???: Huh? I don't think that's a way to talk to a grown woman.
Drake: –Some nerve. Wanna sub in for the goddess statue at the ship's bow?
Euryale: Goddess statue? ...I'm not really sure what you mean,but I AM the goddess, Euryale.
Euryale: Wait, you chased after me not even knowing that?
Euryale: Obviously, you wouldn't have anything like me,a full super idol, on board your ship.
Euryale: You should at least remember my name, sheesh. Where are you from anyway, third-rate pirate?
Drake: Y-You little brat!
Fujimaru 1: I want to clear something up.
Fujimaru 2: You've misunderstood.
Euryale: Huh? What? Wait...Why, you're a human.
Euryale: Hm? Hmmm? Are you the Master of "that thing? "What brings you here?
Euryale: No, before all else, if you're the Master you must discipline your Servants!
Euryale: What's with that perverted Servant anyway? You can't find something that disgusting, even in Greece!
Mash: U-Umm, excuse me–It's not like we were chasing you!
Euryale: ...Huh? Then what on earth were you doing?
Mash: We are–
Euryale: Are. You. Serious–! You guys are so misleading!
Mash: Look who's talking!
Mash: You trapped us inside a Bounded Field. Wouldn't it be natural for us to assume you're our enemy?
Asterios: Guh...
Euryale: Ahh, Asterios! You don't have to move.
Euryale: You're tough. If you just stay still, you won't die.... You won't die, right?
Asterios: ...Urm.
Euryale: There's no need to worry. These guys aren't associated with "him. "
Mash: ...Pardon me. We were a bit shaken up as well. Asterios over there is the one who put up the Bounded Field?
Euryale: That's right. But it wasn't to trap you guys in. It was to prevent the enemies outside from entering.
Mash: I see. But, unless you remove this field,we'll be stuck in here...
Euryale: ...Mmm, fine.
Drake: Well, that didn't take a lot of convincing.
Euryale: It's a simple numbers game.
Euryale: There are only two ways out of here. Either Asterios dies, or we remove the field.
Euryale: In that case, I'd rather remove the field.... It's much better than being alone.
Drake: ...I see. Yes, I like you.
Drake: But, you're so cornered that you had to put up this "Bounded Field" thing, right?
Euryale: –It has nothing to do with you.
Drake: It does! See, I love interesting things.
Euryale: ...Huh?
Drake: A trip around the world. Adventure. Dungeons. Monsters. This world has so many interesting things to offer!
Drake: Interesting things tend to be more valuable. That's how this world works. That's why I became a pirate. But that's that.
Drake: Anyway, you smell like money. That's why I'm bringing you aboard my ship.
Euryale: H-Hey! You can't just decide that on your own! Board your ship? You must be insane!
Euryale: I already decided! I'm not leaving Asterios behind!
Drake: Who said anything like that? Asterios over there is coming with us, too.
Asterios: ...
Euryale: ...Huh?
Drake: So much guts and power...And, quite a hunk if you look at him long enough!
Drake: I'd be the laughingstock of pirates if I let this talent slip by! Hey, would you like to be a bodyguard on my ship?
Drake: If you refuse, there's nothing I can do. Hey you, will you die unless you're cooped up inside a labyrinth?
Euryale: Th-That's not really the case.... Are you sure?
Drake: Of course I am. I'll pay you well, too. Oh, but don't expect any benefits from us.
Euryale: That's not the issue. I mean...As long as you are okay with it.
Euryale: ...Asterios. What do you want to do?
Asterios: Go.
Euryale: ...Are you sure?
Asterios: If...you...go...me...follow. Alone...lonely.
Euryale: I see. Very well, then...We'll board your ship.
Euryale: Ah! But I'll need you to prepare my own room. I have no intent of showing my face to common pirates.
Euryale: Of course, your ship has a bath, right? Oh, and also–
Mash: Senpai, Senpai! ...It seems things went quite well without us interjecting.
Fujimaru 1: Happily ever after.
Fujimaru 2: All's well that ends well.
Mash: ...Good point.
Mash: Still, a Minotaur was supposedly a monster. One that devoured children offered up as sacrifice, but–
Euryale : Put me on your shoulders, Asterios. Oh my, you're even taller than my "loser sister. "
Asterios: Uh...Uh...Uh...
Euryale : Ouch! Crouch down a little more! My head's gonna hit the ceiling!
Asterios: Uuu...
Drake: Ahahaha! Goddesses sure have lots of demands!
Fou: Fou!
Section 5: Blackbeard's Misery
G：???: –I always do wonder...Isn't he ashamed to be alive?
H：???: Now, Mary. You can't say such things.
H：???: Earthworms, cockroaches, even plague-ridden sewer rats are all living beings, you know?
H：???: That means it's okay for this Servant to live. I shall allow it.
F：???: Ohoho! LOL My, my, such intense and poisonous talk you're engaging in! LOLOLOL
F：???: Heh heh! LOL Missy Anne is always so gentle when she throttles me!
F：???: Because I'm naïve, if you ever said that to me,I'd have to *&£¢% you both on the spot! (Just kidding! )
Mary: ...Let's kill him, Anne. He shouldn't exist in this world.
Anne: I said no.
Anne: If you keep your distance, he's just a harmful,unpleasant, and stinking guy, right?
Anne: Now Captain, give us your orders soon, or I'll gouge, crush, and blow away that lighter-than-a-balloon head of yours.
F：???: Oops, good heavens me! LOL Sorry, sorry. Please, let me work hard from now on. LOLOLOL
Anne: ...
Mary: Anne, calm down or you might pop a vessel.
F：???: Going into totally serious mode! Wowowowow! It's coming, coming, coming–
F：???: ...And so, my brothers. The licky-enthusiast's treasured Muse Euryale–
F：???: Let's go catch her! Oh, and the you-know-what from the old hag, too!
Anne: Huhuhu. That's the main target, idiot.
Mary: No good, he can only think about Euryale. Fine, we'll just have to be careful.
F：???: Duhuhuhu! Missy Euryale is so fine! I love her so much!
F：???: Now, Missy Mary Read! Missy Anne Bonny! Mistah Eric Bloodaxe! And–
F：???: Teacher! Our teacher! Please, take the field!
E：???: Ah, I wonder...I never did anything great enough to be called a teacher, yeah? As you can see, I'm an underdog.
F：???: Haha, stop joking! With you by our side, great hero of the Trojan War, our power level will be over 9000!
F：???: Plus we've had a nutritionally balanced breakfast! Great and Ne-great!
E：???: ...Hey, guys. Are you really okay with a captain like this? Hello?
Mary: ...
Anne: ...
F：???: Ahnm, these freezing glares feel so good. They should be coming out soon...Fuhehe!
Euryale: All right. Remove the Bounded Field.
Asterios: Under...stood...
Drake: Geez! If you're gonna shout, tell us first!
Asterios: ...
Euryale: There. The Bounded Field has been removed. Now, let's go.
Asterios: Mm.
Pirate: He's huge! Huge! And scary!
Pirate: Boss? Are we taking these two with us as well?
Drake: What's this "scary" nonsense! You guys are veteran pirates! Yes. Those two are guests.
Drake: Erm...What're your names again?
Euryale: Remember! I'm Euryale. And he is Asterios.
Euryale: Just so you know, we're the same as that human named Mash.
Euryale: If you touch me, I will beat you up, okay?
Mash: How aggressive...
Euryale: With matters like this, it's better to make things clear from the start.
Drake: Okay, Fujimaru's on board, too. It's time to set sail!
Drake: Good weather, low waves. It's a really good day!
Drake: Days like this make me want to grab a drink.
Mash: ...Isn't that every day?
Drake: Hahaha! You're right!
Pirate A: Boss! Unknown ship detected starboard!
Drake: Okay, let's deal with it,then booze it up!
--BATTLE--
Drake: ...Now, according to the map, the next island is a bit further...Huh?
Mash: What's the matter?
Drake: Oh, the wind just changed direction. There might be a storm around sunset.
Drake: You guys, get the freight and food organized!
Pirate: Aye, aye!
Euryale: ～♪
Asterios: ...Song?
Euryale: Oh, did you hear that?
Asterios: Yes.
Euryale: Well, fine then. I'll let you hear it as a special treat.
Euryale: La-la-la♪
Drake: I like it. Beautiful songs are so soothing...
Euryale: Oh Captain,I don't remember giving you the permission to listen.
Drake: Oh, don't be like that!
Euryale: Fine. But it's not something you get to hear often.
Euryale: Be grateful, and listen to the music of a goddess.
Mash: ...It is a beautiful song.
Fou: Fou...
Euryale: There. The end.
Asterios: Mmm...
Mash: Euryale, I have a question. Why are people chasing after you?
Euryale: You sure know how to open up old wounds.
Mash: ...I'm sorry. But I thought it was something I should still ask.
Euryale: ...Hmmm. Since you don't mean ill, I'll forgive you.
Euryale: ...See. I'm cute, right?
Mash: ...Huh?
Euryale: I said, I'm cute, right?
Mash: Erm...Well...Yes.
Euryale: You think so too, right?
Fujimaru 1: You're cute.
Fujimaru 2: You're beautiful.
Euryale: Yes, I'm pretty and cute. That's why guys always want me...
Euryale: But this time, the most atrocious pervert is after me. A strange pirate, just like Drake.
Mash: A pirate?
Euryale: Not just an ordinary pirate. A "Pirate Servant" is after me.
Mash: !!!
Euryale: I don't know his True Name. But, he's certainly the most disgusting guy in the world.
Euryale: Even Scylla would feel pretty in front of him.
Mash: ...Not strong, not scary, but disgusting...What kind of pirate is he?
Euryale: More importantly...Asterios,are your wounds better now?
Asterios: ...Mmm.
Euryale: Oh, I see. Then you'll be all right carrying me on your shoulders?
Asterios: Mhm...
--ARROW--
Euryale : All right, what a great view–What? What's wrong, Asterios?
Asterios: ...Ugh.
Pirate: Boss! A ship up ahead!
Drake: Are they pirates?
Pirate: Yes! ...Oh, it's THAT flag! Boss! That ship's raising the same flag we've seen before!
Drake: Meaning they're enemies! ...Huh? That ship looks familiar...
Mash: That flag...I know! Doctor!
Dr. Roman: Mash? Thank goodness, I finally got through! What in the world's happening over there?
Fujimaru 1: I forgot about that...
Fujimaru 2: It slipped my mind.
Dr. Roman: What, you forgot about me? I'm the lovable and reliable Dr. Roman, remember?
Mash: Sorry, but can we talk about it later?
Mash: Could you tell us about that flag again? Communications broke down and we couldn't hear you.
Dr. Roman: Oh, yeah. That flag is–a legendary Jolly Roger. Belonging to the most infamous pirate in history!
Mash: Most infamous...In history...It can't be!
Dr. Roman: Right! Blackbeard! His True Name is Edward Teach! Be careful, Mash!
Mash: ...Unfortunately, Doctor, it's too late.
Dr. Roman: What?
Drake: Ah! It's him! It's him! The pirate who was chasing my ship!
Drake: I found him at last. I'll blast him beyond the horizon!
Euryale: (...Sneak sneak...)
Blackbeard: ...
Drake: Hey, are you listening you hairy oaf?
Blackbeard: Huh? Sorry, my ears don't pick up old-hag noises!
Drake: —Say that again?
Mash: ...What?
Drake: What. Did. You. Just. Say?
Blackbeard: I- just- said! I didn't ask for old hags! What's with them useless huge knockers? Is that a joke?
Blackbeard: Guess scars are okay? Blade scars are great,they turn me on. But, the age, that's a slight problem.
Blackbeard: If it were only half that, you'd be in my strike zone. Du'huhuhuhu!
Drake: ...
Pirate: Boss? Boss? She's dead...(Inside. )
Euryale: It's hopeless. She's all frozen up. I was the same during my first encounter, too.
Euryale: ...I'm surprised I survived it.
Blackbeard: Mm-hooooooooo! You really are here, Euryale-chan!
Blackbeard: Ah, really cute! Cute! Kawaii! I want to lick and be licked! Mainly armpits and groin!
Blackbeard: Oh, and step on me, too! Barefoot! Step all over me! I want to be treated like a cockroach!
Blackbeard: Don't you all want that, too?
Euryale: Uh...I don't like this...
Asterios: ...
Blackbeard: What? You there! Big guy! You're in my way!
Blackbeard: Show me, show me, show me, Missy Euryale!
Mash: ...Huh? I'm sorry, I almost passed out.
Fujimaru 1: Me too.
Fujimaru 2: It's no wonder.
Mash: Erm...What is that?
Fujimaru 1: B-Blackbeard...maybe?
Fujimaru 2: S-Servant...maybe?
Mash: I refuse. I won't admit that he is a Servant.
Blackbeard: ...Hmm?
Mash: !!!
Blackbeard: Mm...Mm, mm-hmm...I approve! You're accepted! Ta-da-dah-da-da-dah!
Mash: Eek!
Blackbeard: Mmmm, who was the one that liked one eye covered? I think it was that guy Bartholomew?
Blackbeard: No, his fetish was both eyes covered...Well, it doesn't matter.
Blackbeard: Anyway, you Servant there! Tell me your name! If you don't–
Mash: I-If I don't what?
Blackbeard: I will dream about you tonight when I sleep♪
Mash: My name is Mash Kyrielight! I'm a Demi-Servant!
Blackbeard: Mash...Mash...Mashmallow. Mallow mallow...How beautifully raunchy...Bofufufufu...
Mash: Please save me, Senpai! The goose bumps just won't stop popping up.
Fujimaru 1: There, there.
Fujimaru 2: Pat, pat.
Mash: Th...Thank you very much. But, what can we do...
Mash: Someone so disgusting...How do we deal with him...
Drake: ...Fire!
Pirate: What?
Drake: Cannons.
Pirate: B-Boss?
Drake: Cannons. Every single one. I don't care. Just fire! Otherwise I will pack you guys in as cannonballs and fire!
Pirate: A-Aye, aye, Captain!
Blackbeard: Oh, old hag-chan? You mad? You mad, bro? Like huff and puff?
Drake: Bring the ship around! Send that bearded fool down to Davy Jones' Locker!
Blackbeard: Oh my, how scary. Mm, Mr. Bloodaxe King.
Eric: ...Gigigi.
Blackbeard: Can you take a minute and grab you-know-what from that old hag for me?
Blackbeard: Meanwhile I will be busy here licking Euryale! 'Tis my duty as a human being!
Euryale: ...Hey Fujimaru. You too, Servant.
Euryale: Make sure that disgusting sea roach doesn't come near me. Protect me well. Got that?
Euryale: Fortunately, my class is Archer. I can at least give you some cover.
Mash: ...Understood. Mash Kyrielight...heading in!
--BATTLE--
Euryale: More incoming!
Asterios: ...Me...Kill!
Euryale: Asterios, don't move in your state! You're already injured!
Asterios: ...Ugh...
--BATTLE--
Drake: Fire the cannons. Fire, FIRE!
Blackbeard: We're coming alongside them, everyone! Go Team Blackbeard! Yeah!
Pirate: Go Team Blackbeard! Yeah!
Blackbeard: Go Team Blackbeard! Yeah! (glances)
Pirate: Yeah!
Blackbeard: ...(glances)
Mary: ...You want us to join in, too?
Anne: Ahaha, no way. If we have to do that,I'd rather be killed by Command Spells.
Anne: ...Ah, actually that sounds good right about now. Teach, could you order us to commit suicide?
Blackbeard: You hate being my subordinate that much?
Mary & Anne: Yep.
Blackbeard: Don't say that. Please help me...
Anne: I don't really think you need our help. Why don't you just steamroll them with your Noble Phantasm?
Pirate: Dammit! No good! Our cannonballs are bouncing off!
Pirate: Their armor thickness is on another level! Crap...They're coming on board!
--ARROW--
Drake: Damn! Seriously? Our only option is to retreat!
Mash: Can we retreat from this chaos?
Drake: We have to! Reload the cannons! We'll use smoke bombs to create a diversion!
Pirate: Here it comes, Boss!
Blackbeard: Hey! Don't overexert yourself, old hag! If you behave and hand over the Holy Grail, we'll let you go, yeah?
Drake: Holy Grail!?
Mash: They know about the Grail?
Blackbeard: Hey, are you gonna hand over the Grail or what?
Drake: Shut up! Keep your mouth shut!
Blackbeard: Gyafufufu! Scary, scary! LOLOLOL
Eric: Gigigigigi! Kill! This time, kill for sure!
Mash: ...Eric Bloodaxe? How?
Dr. Roman: W-We already defeated him, right!? We even verified he vanished–
Fujimaru 1: He didn't vanish.
Fujimaru 2: Something strange is...
Dr. Roman: Th-That's right! There was a turbulence in the magical energies that shape the Servants.
Dr. Roman: Could it be...teleportation? Then, he's a Servant that Blackbeard summoned to begin with!
Mash: A Servant summoning another Servant...Is that even possible? By BLACKBEARD!?
Mash: Perhaps he has a Holy Grail, or something similar in nature in his possession?
Eric: Kiiiiiiiillll!
Mash: Ugh!
Euryale: Kyaaa!?
Asterios: Di...e!
Eric: Yooouuuuuuuuu!!
Euryale: What are you doing, Asterios? You can't!
Mash: Asterios, stand back! This time I will finish him for sure!
--BATTLE--
Eric: ...Kill...you...kill...you...Damn...Get...Holy...Grail...
Dr. Roman: All right! He's gone for sure this time! We defeated Eric Bloodaxe!
Blackbeard: Hohohohoho! It's too soon to be happy! LOLOLOL
Blackbeard: Eric Bloodaxe was the lowest rank among us Blackbeard Pirates!
Blackbeard: Plus he smelled bloody all over, his armpits reeked, and his feet were greasy. There was nothing good about him!
Mary: That's all you, Captain.
Mash: !!!
Fujimaru 1: What's wrong?
Fujimaru 2: Something just...
Mash: ...He's so stubborn! That guy!
C：???: You don't let your guard down. Good girl, good girl.
C：???: I thought it would be easier if we killed the Master as soon as possible...
C：???: –You're really something special. What kind of Servant are you?
C：???: Well, if you're defeated by something of this caliber,then it's not worth "letting you live. "
C：???: Do your best, young girl.
Drake: If that's the case...
Drake: All right! Set sails! Hard starboard! We're gonna get away from them!
Drake: We are faster compared to that bulky ship!
Pirate: Aye, aye!
Mary: Ah, they shot the ropes connecting the ships. Looks like they're trying to flee.
Anne: Hum. She shoots as well as I do.
Anne: As expected from Francis Drake,the first person to survive a trip around the world.
Anne: –Though, doing nothing does make me feel bad. I guess I'll help a little bit.
Mary: Anne, you're so earnest.
Anne: Huhuhu. In the end, it's only a show, Mary.
Anne: My bullet. My pride. Our name is Freedom. Catch the prey like a falcon...Just kidding.
Drake: Ugh...What happened?
Pirate: Seems like an explosion in the bilge!
Drake: What!?
Mash: Impossible!
Drake: Dammit, they'll catch up. No, at this rate, we'll sink before that!
Drake: I'll go fix the hole in the bilge! You guys keep the ship balanced!
Pirate: That's unreasonable, Boss! Everybody, stop the boss!
Drake: Hey, let me go, idiots! If I don't go, who will–
Euryale: Asterios!?
Mash: The ship...He's lifting it up!?
Drake: We recovered! Okay! Drop all Barrel Bombs behind us!
Drake: Drop 'em, drop 'em, drop 'em—
Blackbeard: Oooooou!? Wait there! I don't care about the old hag,but please leave Missy Euryale and the Holy Grail behind!
Blackbeard: I don't want the old hag's body at all,so at least give me Missy Euryaleeeeeee!
Mary: Our main objective is the Holy Grail, Captain. Euryale is just a bonus.
Anne: Huhuhu, this captain isn't listening at all.
Drake: You said you're Blackbeard, right? Someday! For sure! No matter what! At all costs!
Drake: I'll take your head and tie it on my bow! Remember it, idiot! Dumbass! You...
Drake: Oooh, I can't think of any more insults! In any case, I'll make sure to get revenge on youuuuuuu!
Section 6: Hunter of the Three Stars
Euryale: Asterios! Where's Asterios? Fujimaru! Mash! Help me look for him, too!
Fou: Fou! Fou, fou! Kyuuuu!
Mash: Fou found him! He'll bring him over!
Drake: I'll help! Ugh, so heavy!
Asterios: ...Ugh...
Mash: Don't worry, he's alive. But the wound he got during the battle against us opened up.
Euryale: That's for being reckless before making a full recovery!
Euryale: What kind of moron keeps swimming while carrying a galleon! You dummy!
Asterios: ...This kind...of...moron.
Euryale: It's not something to brag about!
Euryale: Did you forget your role of carrying me on your shoulders? Go on, clean your filthy body!
Asterios: Mgh...
Mash: Drake, how about the ship–
Drake: It's no good. Nothing can make it budge.
Drake: ...Although I think we'll be able to fix the ship,thanks to Asterios bringing it to the coast.
Drake: But we don't have enough materials. Looks like this island has a forest, so I guess we can make some lumber out of those trees.
Euryale: Don't you think it's better to slay the forest monsters first? See, over there.
Mash: Right. I'd like to reassess the situation.
Drake: Oh boy, when we're done, I want to ask you something...How to sink that huge fool of a pirate!
--BATTLE--
Drake: There wasn't much difference in the ships' performance. The issue was the thickness of their armor.
Mash: Yes. Our cannons had no effect.... Doctor, please tell us about Blackbeard.
Mash: I have some knowledge,but I'm sure that Chaldea has more accurate data.
Dr. Roman: Right, Blackbeard was a pirate born 100 years after Francis Drake.
Dr. Roman: His real name was Edward Teach. He was one of the pirates who ruled over the Caribbean.
Dr. Roman: His policy was simple. He would kill anyone who showed resistance but spared the rest.
Dr. Roman: Based in Nassau, he rampaged through these waters on his beloved ship, from Virginia to Honduras.
Mash: His beloved ship...It had a name, right?
Dr. Roman: Yes. It was called "Queen Anne's Revenge. "He had 300 men on board.
Dr. Roman: He built up a large fleet centered around his flagship,and reigned as one of the strongest and worst pirates.
Dr. Roman: However, he ended up losing his head.
Dr. Roman: ...Even a pirate as fearsome as him...Unbelievable...
Mash: ...Don't say any more. He's a Servant I'd rather not remember.
Euryale: I erased the image of that thing from my brain. What? Has something happened?
Drake: Yeah, pirates are all trashy, but he is the trashiest of them all. The King of Trash. That's what he is.
Drake: Sorry, everybody. I apologize on behalf of all pirates.
Fujimaru 1: You're also a victim, Drake.
Fujimaru 2: I know how you feel.
Drake: Fujimaru...You're a good [♂ guy /♀ girl]...You'd be a great pirate!
Drake: As a pirate, I can guarantee it!
Mash: Doctor, are there any stories that could give us hints on his Noble Phantasm?
Dr. Roman: There are a few...Among them, I think his ship has the highest possibility of being a Noble Phantasm.
Dr. Roman: I was monitoring the magical energy levels during the battle, and his ship gave off the strongest readings.
Dr. Roman: Captain Drake's "Golden Hind" too. Maybe it's the Holy Grail, but it showed magical energy similar to a Noble Phantasm...
Dr. Roman: Even then, that ship was superior...
Fou: Fou...
Drake: Hmm...I don't quite understand,but are you saying that my ship is no match for his?
Mash: It seems that way...
Drake: Hmmm...
Dr. Roman: Wait a second...Nothing happened before you blasted the ropes and made your escape?
Dr. Roman: Did you inflict any damage to their side–
Mash: Ah, at that time...I believe we defeated Eric Bloodaxe.
Dr. Roman: Right! Yes, we confirmed that he vanished completely on our end as well.
Dr. Roman: ...Ah, so that's it!
Mash: What do you mean?
Dr. Roman: Simply put, Blackbeard's Noble Phantasm–is that ship, "Queen Anne's Revenge. "
Dr. Roman: Maybe it's a Noble Phantasm that powers up as"his subordinates get stronger and stronger. "
Mash: !!!
Dr. Roman: The moment you guys defeated Eric, the magical energy surrounding the ship clearly weakened.
Dr. Roman: After that, it stayed in that state until they lost sight of us.
Mash: In other words–the more Servants it carries,the stronger it becomes?
Dr. Roman: There were five Servants including Blackbeard on that ship. With Eric defeated, it's now four.
Mash: Maybe the reason he sought Euryale...
Dr. Roman: ...is because he gets stronger with her on board. His personal interests also play a part, of course...
Mash: If only we could pull those Servants away somehow...But I'm sure it will be hard.
Dr. Roman: Ah, I've never encountered a hindrance like him before. He knows nothing and still disturbs our Holy Grail search!
Drake: Well, we pirates are all like that. We take treasures from people, no matter how good they may be.
Mash: ...If it's hard to pull them away, we'll have to slay them.
Mash: ...And we better do it fast, before Blackbeard becomes even more powerful.
Dr. Roman: ...Offense is the best form of defense. Hmm? I'm picking up couple life signatures on that island.
Dr. Roman: Looks like they're wyverns, be careful!
--BATTLE--
Drake: Oh, so this is a dragon? It really looks like a lizard!
Mash: More precisely, a wyvern. We fought many during our battles in France.
Mash: ...Hmm?
Euryale: Something the matter?
Mash: Oh no, I just thought of something...
Fujimaru 1: Use the dragons as materials.
Fujimaru 2: Fix the ship with the dragons.
Mash: ...That's it, Master!
Drake: Huh? You're going to fix my ship with dragons?
Euryale: ...Oh, that's brilliant. If you process it,dragon scales are even harder than steel.
Euryale: We need someone really strong to process it,but...
Asterios: Uuugh...
Euryale: Oh, you're here. Can you handle it?
Asterios: Yes.
Mash: Looks like it won't be a problem for Asterios. I'll try to strip their scales immediately!
Pirates: Yeah, I feel reassured with this guy! But don't overdo it like before!
Pirates: Hey, let's eat first! After that I'll let you meet our blacksmith!
Asterios: Y—Ye-ah...We...eat food...together.
Drake: Hmm...These scales are tough, but we still need more.
Mash: Technical Director Leonardo. How many more wyverns do we need to slay to fix the ship?
Da Vinci: Considering the size of the scale and how it shrinks while processing...I think 30 more wyverns should be enough.
Mash: In that case, we should be able to do it in a day once we found a nest.
Fujimaru 1: Let's go hunting.
Fujimaru 2: Then it is a quest.
Mash: We make pretty good adventurers, right, Master?
Drake: Hmmm, maybe I should change the ship's name to the "Golden Dragon"...
--ARROW--
H：???: ...All right. Uh, chop that up...and add some spices, and sauté...
H：???: Oh no,we need to add some vegetables too, right?
H：???: Will that grass there do? There!
H：???: Okay, now put it in that box...And stir...Done!
H：???: Darling, I made you a boxed lunch!
E：???: Wait. Do you even know how you made that?
E：???: It's just grilled meat with some plucked weeds sprinkled on top, you can't call it a boxed lunch.
H：???: Don't say that. Please try some? It's tasty, you know?
E：???: How are you so confident in a boxed lunch with that kind of quality?
H：???: You're asking so much, darling...What?
E：???: Hmm...Something's coming. Looks like a Servant.
H：???: Is it friend or foe?
E：???: If she's cute, I don't care which side she's–
E：???: No, it's nothing. Don't scrape me on this tree trunk! Owww!
H：???: Actually, this is perfect. I'm getting bored of this island already.
H：???: I don't even know why we were summoned here in the first place!
E：???: Yes, you're right. Friend or foe, we need information.
H：???: ...Well, it's not like I want to leave or anything, though...
E：???: Speak for yourself. These last two islands are way too boring.
H：???: And there weren't any cute girls?
E：???: No, there weren't.
E：???: ...I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
E：???: I forgot that I rely completely on you,and that I leech off you for everything.
E：???: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't swing me arouuu–
H：???: Ah...(slip)
E：???: Wha—at—!
H：???: Eek! Darling, I'm sorry!
E：???: You think apologizing is enough?! You moron!
Dr. Roman: ...Be careful. I am picking up multiple wyverns. And...What is this?
Dr. Roman: It's tiny. Maybe like a familiar...
Mash: There's a familiar on an island like this?
Dr. Roman: Hmmm...Something different about it, though.
Dr. Roman: Looks like it doesn't have that much magical energy,so I don't think we need to be too concerned.
Euryale: ...Hmmm.
Asterios: Huh?
Euryale: It's nothing. I just had a bad feeling.
Euryale: And, with your height, I'll be hitting my head on the tree branches.
Euryale: Please, duck a little, or hold me in your arms.... Yes, that's way better.
Drake: Geez...Comfy enough there, Princess?
Euryale: Princess? I'm a goddess.
E：???: Please, stop. Stop! Don't chew, don't chew please! Not food! Not food!
Mash: Just now! I think I heard a voice...Master!
Fujimaru 1: Let's rescue them.
Fujimaru 2: Let's hurry.
Mash: Yes!
Mash: Wyverns!
Drake: Good timing, I'll turn you into materials!
--BATTLE--
Mash: That's the last one. But, I thought I heard someone's voice earlier...
Drake: I am not seeing the usual mess wyverns left behind,maybe they ran away?
Dr. Roman: Huh? That weak magic response I mentioned...Seems like it's right near you.
Dr. Roman: Well? Can you find it?
Mash: No, not really...
E：???: Hrrrnngh!?
Fujimaru 1: I think you stepped on something?
Fujimaru 2: I heard a strange voice.
Mash: What? I stepped on something? Let's see...Could it be this?
Drake: What is it? A plush toy? It sure is ugly. Even I can sew something better.
Dr. Roman: Ah, that's it. The magical energy I mentioned is coming from that thing.
Mash: Is this the familiar you mentioned? ...Hmmm, it doesn't look like anything but a plush toy.
E：???: Kyun kyun♪
Euryale: ...I can feel a really creepy gaze.
Mash: Me too.
Drake: What? You too? So I'm not the only one...
E：???: ...
Mash: (Stare...)
Euryale: (Stare...)
Drake: (Stare...)
E：???: ...
Asterios: Wah!
E：???: Hyoo? What are you doing?
E：???: ...Oh.
Mash: Senpai, Senpai. The unknown object is talking.
Fujimaru 1: Talking plushies are rare.
Mash: ...I see, it does look pretty rare.
E：???: I'm not a plush toy, okay? Though I do look like one. I'll admit that.
Fujimaru 2: Let's dissect it.
Mash: Dissect...You're right. That's a pretty good idea.
E：???: No, it's not!
Mash: ...It really talks. Are you friend or foe?
E：???: –Huh? That's my line!
E：???: ...I'm sorry. I think we can be friends. We have no intention of harming you.
H：???: Ah—!!
Mash: ...A Servant?
E：???: Wait! They're not enemies...Pugyuru?!
H：???: Did you cheat on me again, darling?! Despite! Having! ME!
H：???: I'm at the limit of my patience! Come on, it is time to punish you!
E：???: What? How am I the first to get hit? Wait! Wait! There's a misunderstanding!
E：???: I really was staring at their breasts and legs, but...I'm sorr...Pugyuru!
Mash: U-Um...
H：???: What? Don't interfere in a lover's spat! It is a civil matter! Civil court!
Mash: Master, what do we do? This is the first time I feel at a loss.
Mash: Ah, no...When we met that Black-whatever earlier,I felt like this too. One bad feeling after another.
Mash: In this era,everyone has a few loose screws!
Fujimaru 1: What's your True Name?
Fujimaru 2: What are you doing here?
H：???: Hmm? ...Wait, you're human? Are you a Master?
E：???: Fujimaru...Right. Okay, finally we meet a respectable Servant.
E：???: Let's see...This summon is for a Holy Grail War, right? Are we friend or foe? Is the busty girl single?
H：???: Don't casually mix questions up!
Fujimaru 1: We're here to fix this era.
Fujimaru 2: We're here to repair the world.
--ARROW--
Orion: ...I see. Now I get what's going on, more or less.
H：???: Huh...So this world is endless? Eternal?
Mash: Even if this era is,I believe it will still vanish if its outer frame is gone.
Mash: And if that happens, we'll be defeated,and human history will come to an end.
H：???: Poo...
Orion: Hey, you were thinking that you wanted to live in this world forever and stuff, weren't you?
H：???: Oh! Guessing what's on my mind...It's like we're in love...How lovely...
Orion: If I have to live in an eternal world,I'd prefer to die in the hell.
Mash: Senpai, Senpai...
Mash: Those two people...Or one person and one thing? There's something weird about their relationship...
H：???: What is it? No matter how you look at it,Darling and I are the best couple of the Servant world.
Orion: Hmm, from a third party viewpoint, it must look strange for a woman to be talking to a plush toy...
Mash: I see, each person has their own tastes. That aside, could you help us?
H：???: Hmm, what do you think, Darling?
Orion: You ask what I think, but with humanity about to be exterminated. We have no choice but to help, idiot!
H：???: I'm not an idiot! I'm a goddess!
Orion: Quiet you useless goddess! (Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap! )
H：???: Ah, it's DV! This is what you call domestic violence, right?
Euryale: This is just too much, I can't see the end of it...
Drake: ...By the way...Lady Goddess. What's your name?
Artemis: What? I'm Artemis.
Mash: What!?
Fou: Fou?!
Dr. Roman: What?!
Euryale: ...
Asterios: Uh?
Drake: A super famous one just appeared...She doesn't seem to be faking it...What do we do?
Mash: How about that plush toy right there?
Artemis: He is my love, Orion.
Artemis: ...I knew that he was going to be summoned, and got worried so I came as his substitute!
Dr. Roman: I, I see...By lowering her divinity, it allows her to be summoned as a substitute Heroic Spirit...
Dr. Roman: It's not like there aren't previous cases...
Orion: I'm Orion. When I was summoned into this Holy Grail War, I got turned into a strange creature.
Orion: ...Strange creature...Strange...
Fujimaru 1: I am crying.
Fujimaru 2: Live strong.
Orion: By the way, I'm infinitely close to useless. I can't live unless I totally depend on her for everything.
Artemis: Hehe. You can depend on me even more, Darling.
Orion: I want to be independent...
Mash: Ahem.
Mash: Then let's fight together. Artemis, Orion.
Mash: Now, we need dragon's scales to fix our ship. Let's pool our strengths and gather them!
Orion: Okay, this way...Dragon nests are usually hidden in bleak places like this.
Artemis: Darling, so smart♪
Dr. Roman: It's just like Orion said. I am picking up multiple dragons nearby.
Mash: Okay Servants. Let's go hunting!
--BATTLE--
Mash: Finally, we're halfway.
Drake: So hot, so tired, so exhausted, need booze...
Euryale: The captain is such a slacker.
Drake: Well, you've been leaving everything to Asterios for a while now...
Euryale: That's fine. I give orders, and he acts.
Artemis: Hey, hey, Darling.
Orion: What?
Artemis: Are there male and female wyverns?
Orion: They have parents, but I've never heard about gender.
Mash: Parents?
Orion: Yes. Their parents are not of the wyvern subspecies. Wyverns are born from their superior species, dragons.
Orion: I guess they're more like minions than children.
Mash: ...So...For example...They are way bigger than wyverns?
Orion: ...Yeah. Indeed...
Mash: And if we keep slaying their wyvern minions,they will become excited or angry?
Orion: ...Well, they probably won't forgive us...
Mash: Master...
Fujimaru 1: A boss battle is a given.
Mash: I know nothing about such givens!
Fujimaru 2: Let's apologize.
Mash: If we apologize, will they forgive us?
Euryale: The dragons basically think we declared war against them when we entered their territory in the first place.
Euryale: It's useless. Go, fight now. Like a hero, do your best♪
Mash: ...Understood. Mash Kyrielight–heading in!
--BATTLE--
Mash: I've fought dragons before,but it never gets easier.
Orion: Why do I have to take part in this?
Asterios: Ugh.
Euryale: Oh well, you have enough scales now, don't you? That was quite fun.
Euryale: It's easy to sit back and see how things pan out,but it's also fun to see people struggle up close.
Drake: Thanks for the god-like opinion. You sure got noticed by someone bizarre huh, big guy?
Asterios: Ugh...
Section 7: Queen Anne's Revenge
Drake: Improvements and repairs complete! We fixed the hole in the bilge. No leaks found.
Drake: We also equipped the ram with the leftover scales. Things are going to get interesting.
Drake: Now...Asterios! Time for your unrivaled strength and dauntless courage to step up!
Asterios: Uh...Uhhh!
Euryale: Looks like your wound has healed. You really are durable. Just like my loser sister.
Euryale: All right, go for it!
Asterios: Uuuuhhh—!
Pirates: Whoaaaa! Incredible!
Pirates: Damn, Asterios! There anything you can't do!? We all admire you...Uh, as men...
Asterios: Ugh...Huh.
Drake: All right, men! Time to take our revenge on Blackbeard! Don't worry, this time we'll be fine!
Drake: Believe in me and follow me!
Artemis: Hey Darling. Let's do that. The you-know-what.
Artemis: That thing where I stand at the bow and extend both arms.
Orion: Yep, you can do it. By yourself. Be careful of seagulls.
Artemis: You won't hug me from behind? So cruel!
Orion: Don't ask a plush toy for the impossible!
Pirate: Hey Boss, what is that thing?
Drake: It's a harmless creature. Just let it be. Fou is way cuter anyway.
Fou: Fou!
Mash: Fou said, "Don't compare me to that. "
Drake: Oh my...I'm sorry, Fou. Indeed, you have more class and flair.
Drake: ...All right, we're setting sail! Ring the bell!
Pirate: Boss! I've already found a pirate ship!
Drake: Let's take them down to liven things up!
Mash: Roger that!
--BATTLE--
Drake: We'll be entering unknown territory soon. We won't be able to use the Vikings' map anymore.
Drake: It'll be an adventure, so that's fine! The problem is Blackbeard's ship.
Mash: Even with just four Servants,it's still a formidable amount of enemies.
Mash: If we make a bad approach,their guns and cannons will destroy our ship.
Drake: We're way faster though. Should we use the ram to charge in?
Mash: These seas don't seem to have many obstacles...We'll probably encounter them from afar like last time.
Mash: If we were to have any chance, it would have to be during a Wild Hunt...
Mash: They don't notice us, we notice them, and then a storm hits at the perfect time–
Drake: That's wishing for too much, really.
Euryale: ...How about we shoot arrows before they notice us,to confuse them?
Mash: They'll certainly be confused,but there are still Servants on their side.
Mash: ...That woman with the musket is especially problematic. If it turns into a gunfight, I don't think the confusion tactic will work.
Artemis: Why doesn't someone board their ship and cause a riot before the ships collide?
Orion: Are you stupid? How would someone board their ship before our ship...Oh.
Mash: ...Something wrong?
Artemis: Heheh. I am a goddess. But...I was technically summoned as Orion.
Artemis: So I have control over Orion's power.
Dr. Roman: Ah, now I remember. Orion can walk on water.
Euryale: You're the son of Lord Poseidon so you can walk on water...Wait, that's it?
Orion: ...Look, even I wish I had slightly cooler powers!
Orion: I mean, walk on water? What am I, a water strider or something?
Artemis: Aww, you're so cute when you're sad and gloomy! I just want to squeeze you tight! Squeeeeeeze...
Orion: Mash, comfort me in your bosom!
Mash: I refuse.
Orion: Ngyuu...
Drake: Anyway, we've been dealt a new card. Now, I have something to ask you guys...
Orion: Great. I'm excited but have a bad feeling...
--ARROW--
Blackbeard: Woo-hoo-hoo! Heh, heh, heh...Hohohohoho...
Blackbeard: Gasp! Awww, once I wake up,my harem is nothing but a distant dream.
Blackbeard: The only ones here are our teacher and the yuri couple in their own little world.
Blackbeard: ...Well, I happen to like yuri myself. Since sleeping alone is so lonely (glance)
Mary: –Incredible, Anne. This captain wants to sleep with us.
Anne: For someone with zero popularity,or rather, negative popularity, that's rich.
Anne: Actually, we didn't appear in your dreams, did we? If so, I'll just have to hit you with my gunstock till you forget.
Blackbeard: Heh heh. So many heroines populate my dreams, I just don't remember.
Mary: –Incredible, Anne. The captain has lumped us together as mob heroines.
Anne: Yes♪ Let's kill him, after all♪
C：???: ...Huh? Hey Captain, your enemies are here. That Francis Drake.
Blackbeard: Euryale-chan is here? And the Holy Grail, too!
C：???: Most likely. I have to say,they're out for revenge a lot earlier than expected.
Blackbeard: Yahoo! Prepare to receive them!
Mary: Well, I guess we don't have a choice. Let's get to work.
Anne: Yeah, you're right. But I'm pretty sure I opened a big hole in their bilge...What did they do?
C：???: –What's more important is how they're coming back after such a severe beating.
C：???: ...They have something up their sleeve. But I have nothing to do with it.
Blackbeard: Mmm? Are they planning to charge straight in without a plan?
Blackbeard: A reckless and self-destructive assault! Pretty unusual for that old hag.
Mary: Not exactly, Captain. Isn't the one at the bow the Servant you're infatuated with?
Blackbeard: Euryale-chan? What's this about my Euryale-chan? Bow! Is she at the bow?
Blackbeard: Yay! Euryale-chan! Come spread your arms at the bow with me—
Blackbeard: Huh?
Euryale: Tch, I missed. No, I feel like I missed on purpose.
Euryale: I felt like my arrow would be soiled...
Mash: I'm sorry, but can you try to aim and shoot him down? Your arrows are disposable. Deal with it.
Mash: If we don't get him now, Captain Drake and I have to fight that Servant in close combat.
Euryale: I know. But instead of hitting Blackbeard directly–
Euryale: It's better if I hit someone else. That's how my "arrow" works.
Euryale: Some of them are boarding our ship.
Euryale: There aren't many, so let's defeat them quickly.
--BATTLE--
Blackbeard: Hey comrades! If you get hit by Euryale-chan's arrows I'll kill you off immediately, so be careful!
Pirate: ...Huh? Captain, what on earth are you saying...
Pirate: Ow?
Pirate: ...Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...Ohhhhh!
Pirate: You scum...You scum! For Lady Euryale's sake...Die!
Pirate: Huh? Captain, why did you...Ugh...Ah—
Blackbeard: See, now your blood got my shirt all dirty. Remember,DEATH is what happens when you're careless!
Pirate: A-Aye, aye, sir!
Blackbeard: Missy Anne! Missy Anne!
Anne: Please don't call to me in that creepy voice. What is it, Captain?
Blackbeard: Gigigi. Say, why don't you go pew pew at them!
Anne: If it wasn't for the disruption, I would have done so.
Blackbeard: Countin' on ya♪
Blackbeard: Let's see...Don't tell me this is all you got, old hag-chan?
Drake: –Of course not, pervert captain.
Blackbeard: ...Above!?
Artemis: Hi♪
Blackbeard: An angel...There is an angel here...There is an angel...But who are you?
Mary: A Servant!?
Artemis: I am Orion! I'll kill all of you☆
Pirate: Ugh!
Pirate: Gyah!
Mary: I'll go! You keep shooting there, Anne!
Anne: Gotcha!
Orion: ...Geez. They sure work their plush toys really hard. One, two. One, two. One, two.
Pirate: We're almost in cannon range! Grab all reserve ammo from the arsenal!
Orion: Sure, sure, show me where it is, please...
Artemis: Hai, yaa! Take that!
Pirate: Gyah!
Blackbeard: Dammit! Missy Mary! I'm counting on you!
Mary: You don't need to say it!
Artemis: Oh human, I'd be troubled if you get too close to me.
Mary: Figures. Since you're probably an Archer from the looks of it!
Artemis: Exactly! Bye-bye now!
Mary: Hey, wait!
Orion: Artemis! Tell them we're ready!
Artemis: Darling! Understood, Captain!
--ARROW--
Drake: All right! Helmsman, hard to starboard! Get a good angle! We'll rip through its belly with the ram!
Pirate: Gotcha, Boss! Hard to starboard!
Blackbeard: What is that small thing.... That small thing...
Blackbeard: Oh...My...God! Everyone, hold on!
Blackbeard: It's gonna explooooooooooode!
Mary: What?
Anne: Explode?
C：???: Ah, so that's what's going on! Dammit!
Pirate: E-Explosions! In the ammo hold!
Artemis: That went well, Darling!
Orion: I-I thought I'd die down there! I lit the fuse and ran! Ran at full speed!
Mary: You bastards–!
Artemis: How rude. Fine, I'll play with you for a while.
Orion: Don't play, shoot her down! ...Though, what a waste it will be.
Artemis: Okay♪ Oh, and Darling, I'll punish you later☆
Pirate: C-Captain! What should we do?
Blackbeard: C-C-C-Calm down! Everybody calm down! Extinguish the fire first! Now everybody strip down–
Anne: Regain your sanity, Captain.
Blackbeard: W-W-W-W-What? I'm super sane, you know? More importantly, Missy Anne, take off your pants too–
Anne: Next time you say that, I'll shoot.
Blackbeard: I'm sane again! And I understand! Hard to starboard! Anyway, we have to get out of here!
Pirate: Aye, aye!
Blackbeard: ...Oh, great. Looks like it's too late!
Pirate: Huh?
Blackbeard: All hands, brace for impact! Bahahaha, I've always wanted to say that!
Mary: It's the Golden Hind!
Anne: Right! Both fast and sturdy!
Drake: Prepare to board, my filthy scoundrels! Yes, yes! Let the plundering begin!
Asterios: Uuuuuuuu!!
Euryale: Asterios, go!
Mash: Well, Master, can't keep Blackbeard waiting!
Fujimaru 1: Let's go, Mash!
Fujimaru 2: Let's do it, Mash!
--BATTLE--
Section 8: Desperate Battle
Mary: Haaaaaah!
Mash: ...Ugh!
Anne: Mary, I'll join in!
Mary: Okay!
Mash: These two...combined, they're one Servant?
Mary: My name is Mary Read.
Anne: And I'm Anne Bonny.
Mash: The legendary female pirates...No wonder their teamwork's sublime!
Mary: ...Interesting. So Heroic Spirits of Shield really do exist.
Anne: They have many Servants on their side as well. Mary, for now, why don't we do the usual thing.
Mary: –Okay. We haven't lost quite yet.
Mary: If we can hold you off, we can win.... Let's go!
--BATTLE--
Mary: ...So we fell short. Sorry Captain, we're going on ahead.
Anne: Captain. Please don't get depressed just because we're not around anymore.
Anne: ...Being a victor is all you're worth. If you lose,we're the ones who end up looking like fools.
--ARROW--
Blackbeard: Mmph! Then, Blackbeard's beard began shining like gold or silver or burning red, and he rose like a phoenix!
Blackbeard: At least emotionally!
Mash: Ugh. This is discouraging...
Fujimaru 1: Don't give up.
Fujimaru 2: Hang in there.
Mash: Even Master starts to sound unmotivational.
Blackbeard: Backs against the wall, all is vanity, Glory to the Sutra. However!
Blackbeard: I hate to brag, but this Blackbeard never even thought he could lose!
Drake: Oh, look who's talking, you swine! Now this finally feels like a death-match!
Drake: You and I, we're the same. A pair of heartless scoundrels who live our lives taking or saving lives!
Drake: The loser is scum and the winner is justice! In that case,I'll trample your justice with my demonic heels!
Blackbeard: Aww♪You're acting pretty cool for an old hag...
Blackbeard: If I was a woman, I'm sure that right now there'd be romantic BGM playing with an event CG where I start stripping.
Blackbeard: Such a bother to create backups and programming for that though...
Drake: I seriously don't understand what you are saying at all...
Mash: You don't need to understand. I guarantee that you'll never need that knowledge.
Blackbeard: Well, anyway! Let's have our showdown, old hag!
Drake: Insult me as much as you want.
Drake: Now that I can punch you directly in the face–I'll laugh at your jokes.
Drake: And when I finish with you, not even your mom can recognize you! Mash! Fujimaru!
Mash: I'm on it. Let's go, Master!
--BATTLE--
Blackbeard: Ugh...Not yet...not yet...I'm...not even...at my full power...yet!
Blackbeard: If I really put my mind to it, there's no way I'd ever lose to a Servant or two...let alone the old hag!
Drake: If you can blab like that after a fatal blow,you certainly got some guts.
Drake: I don't respect you, but I am impressed. The great pirate born 100 years after me.
Drake: I know you wanted the Holy Grail, but give up. That's my treasure.
Drake: Treasures at sea have no rightful owners. "First come, first served" is our rule, right?
Blackbeard: Yeah...That's right...Feels good...What a feel-good conclusion...That's how a pirate should be...
Blackbeard: Ugh!
Mash: ...What?
Drake: Teach! Dammit, you...To your own comrade!?
--ARROW--
F：???: Well...You finally let your guard down, Captain.
F：???: I mean, you act totally carefree, but wherever you are,you're always gripping your gun warily.
F：???: This old man's really impressed.
F：???: After all, a genius who acts like a moron is more trouble than a moron calling himself a genius.
Blackbeard: ...I see...So that's why...I couldn't read your true thoughts...
Blackbeard: But betraying me under these circumstances? Mistah Hektor, are you an idiot?
Mash: Hektor!?
Hektor: Oh please, this old man's doing it knowing there's a fair chance to succeed.
Hektor: All right Captain,I'll take your Holy Grail now!
Blackbeard: Don't mock me!
Hektor: Too bad, you missed. The Holy Grail...is mine!
Mash: Is that...the Holy Grail!?
Mash: Edward Teach was...the Singularity for this era?
Blackbeard: I screwed up...
Hektor: Now all that's left is...you. Francis Drake.
Hektor: Sheesh. The plan was to let the Holy Grail fall into an idiot's hands, causing this era to fall apart.
Hektor: I can't believe that a voyager who exists only to stop that would appear. The Naval Chart of Mankind sure walks on a tightrope.
Fujimaru 1: Stop him, Mash!
Fujimaru 2: Defeat him, Mash!
Mash: I won't allow it!
Mash: What?
Hektor: Just kidding. I don't care about the correct Holy Grail.
Hektor: My objective is...her.
Mash: ...The ship!
Euryale: Eek!
Mash: Euryale!
Euryale: Hey, let me go!
Hektor: Please behave.
Drake: That means you were betraying Teach even before you boarded this ship?
Hektor: Correct. I guess you can call me a Trojan Horse?
Hektor: Granted, I've never seen the real thing.
Asterios: Let her goooo!
Hektor: ...Whoa! You're a dangerous one!
Euryale: Oh!
Hektor: Minotaur–huh? A combination that is truly beauty and the beast.
Hektor: Still...This old man hasn't fallen so far as to be defeated by an incompetent Berserker!
--BATTLE--
Asterios: Ugh!
Euryale: Asterios!
Hektor: Tch! ...Hey now Captain, are you still alive?
Blackbeard: Hee hee hee. It's the power of love! ...Just kidding. That was my final blow.
Hektor: Tch! But, I've achieved my goal. Too bad, pirates.
Orion: Dammit, he had a ship ready! Cheeky bastard!
Artemis: Should we go after him, Darling? I'm sure we could
Orion: We can't!
Artemis: ...Why not?
Orion: Because right now,both you and I are Servants.
Artemis: Hmph. So you think that I'd lose, Darling?
Orion: That's a Lancer. On top of that, if he's Hektor then he's also, you know...
Orion: The great hero of the Trojan War. The greatest conflict in which the gods of Olympus intervened.
Orion: Even the omnipotent, invincible hero Achilles took many years to defeat him.
Orion: If you were in your "true body" sure,but with my power as your base it's a bit much.
Artemis: Hmph. Surprisingly calm.
Orion: Not really. Everybody's mad right now. One of us has to be calm, or it's hopeless.
Artemis: Oh, you're so cool! Darling! Embrace me! Do what you want with me!
Orion: Like I said, don't ask the impossible from a plush toy!
Mash: Blackbeard's subordinates...vanished.
Dr. Roman: They were created by Blackbeard's magical energy. Now that the Holy Grail is gone, they can't be maintained.
Dr. Roman: ...Even though he himself still looks full of energy.
Blackbeard: Hey everybody, it's almost time to say goodbye! Don't you dare think you won, old hag, got that?
Drake: Yeah, yeah. The more you talk, the more you sound like a sore loser.
Drake: Hurry up and begone, Blackbeard. It must be hard for you to even breathe right now.
Blackbeard: Damn you. You're being nice to me...Makes my heart flutter.
Blackbeard: I'd say, "Marry me, I'll make you happy"...I mean, you've been single ever since you were born, no?
Drake: I've had enough of you nitwit! Hurry up and kick the bucket!
Blackbeard: Hahaha, what a nice insult!
Blackbeard: Now that I'm satisfied, it's time to die! But this time I won't be beheaded.
Blackbeard: Because I am the greatest pirate after all! I am a merry pirate, and I will die as one!
Blackbeard: I regret that I wasn't able to create my harem,but I still had fun. I approve!
Blackbeard: ...Oh, old hag. Don't you need a story route where I revive as a rival?
Blackbeard: Wouldn't it be great if I revived with a line like"It's been decided, I'm the one who defeats you! " or something?
Drake: ...Not needed, useless. Come on, snuff it.
Drake: Mash told me about your final moments. Make sure to take that head with you!
Blackbeard: Okay, well that's all fine! Hah, that's all dandy and fine! Fandy and dine!
Blackbeard: The woman who Blackbeard respected most! The pirate who he yearned for most!
Blackbeard: She is present at Blackbeard's deathbed,and he keeps his head intact!
Blackbeard: Then, farewell humanity! Farewell pirates!
Blackbeard: And so Blackbeard draws his last breath! Haha! Ahahahaha!
Drake: Hurry up and die, Edward. In the end, both you and I are headed to hell.
Drake: Why don't we pay for our misdeeds with disgrace and shame like true pirates?
Mash: ...The ship will collapse. Let's go back!
Mash: Come, Asterios. Hold onto me.
Asterios: Ugh...Eu...ry...ale...
Mash: ...
Section 9: Tracks Down the Dandies
E：???: Excuse me. I'm coming in, Master.
F：???: Hey, what's going on? My beloved!
E：???: Lord Hektor contacted us. It seems he caught Euryale.
F：???: I see! I see, I see, I see! All right!
F：???: We were told, if we offer up Euryale,we can obtain even more power.
F：???: Me! I'll be more powerful than anyone. I'll be invincible! Wouldn't that be amazing?
E：???: Yes, very. I think that would be extremely amazing, Master.
F：???: I like your smile. Your smile is like the sun. It never fails to enrich my heart.
F：???: Oh, but you seem a little tired. Are you all right?
F：???: You've been the ship's power source for so long. I want you to tell me when it gets too hard.
F：???: See. Just a bit. If it is just a bit,I can think about letting you rest.
E：???: T-Thank you very much! But it's fine. Your words alone are enough for me to go on.
F：???: Perfect—yes. That's how you should be. The woman who will become my lovely wife.
F：???: As soon as Hektor returns,let's go search for "you-know-what. "
F：???: I mean, where the hell is it? You still haven't received any oracle?
E：???: Correct. I assume that as soon as Lord Hektor returns,I will receive an oracle showing where we must go.
F：???: What's with all these problems...They always keep dragging me down...
F：???: Ah, I'm really sorry. I don't mean to blame them.
F：???: But, I have the right to receive these oracles too. Why is it only you–?
E：???: ...? What is it, Master?
F：???: ...Nothing. Haste makes waste I guess.
F：???: That's right, that must be it. For now, I'll believe in your oracles, and do my best as the captain.
E：???: Yes, that is what we hope. Let's go welcome Lord Hektor.
E：???: We members of Argonautai are undefeatable heroes. There is no way a random group like theirs can win.
F：???: Yes, you're right! We are the strongest! There is no mistake. Our strength is unparalleled!
F：???: We have the world's greatest, strongest hero, and witch on our side! Oh, and there's one useless woman, too.
F：???: Hmph, to think someone would vow chastity to someone like Artemis and reject my invitation like that.
F：???: Should be a shark's meal by now. Serves her right.
F：???: Now, everybody! Prepare to depart!
F：???: We shall obtain the "Ark. " Even the golden ram pales in comparison to this treasure.
F：???: With the Holy Grail and the "Ark,"I will reign as the king of Okeanos!
Drake: Full speed ahead! Hey, lookout! Pay close attention to what's ahead!
Drake: Once you see that ship, call out!
Pirate: Aye, aye, Boss!
Drake: ...That tiny ship is faster than it looks.
Drake: With their head start, unless they stop,we might not catch up...
Asterios: Uh, uuh...
Mash: Don't worry, she won't die.
Asterios: Eu...ryale...I...will...save you.
Mash: ...I understand how you feel. But for now, concentrate on healing your wounds.
Asterios: No!
Fujimaru 1: We'll save her.
Fujimaru 2: We'll help too.
Asterios: ......
Asterios: Do...You...Promise?
Mash: Of course. Drake is sailing the ship at top speed with that very same thought.
Asterios: ...Uh.
Pirate: Boss! A pirate ship's headed our way!
Drake: Damn, at a time like this!?
Mash: Master, let's take them out quickly.
Asterios: ...Crush!
--BATTLE--
Mash: Master...I'm sure Blackbeard said "Hektor. "
Mash: If that's the case, then that spear is the sword "Durandal," later inherited by Roland, one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne.
Mash: Or rather, the base for that sword.
Mash: It's a miracle that Asterios didn't die. That's how powerful that spear was.
Dr. Roman: But I wonder what Hektor plans to do,with Euryale.
Drake: Human trafficking...No, it can't be.
Orion: ...But he sounded like he had a clear goal in his mind from the beginning.
Mash: Yes. From the start, Servant Hektor had his eye on Mistah Blackbeard's Holy Grail.
Fujimaru 1: Blackbeard seemed wary of that.
Fujimaru 2: Mash, why "Mistah"...
Orion: I can understand the Holy Grail,but why Euryale?
Dr. Roman: It's not about bolstering forces. Euryale herself isn't that powerful of a Servant.
Dr. Roman: I think what makes her special is the fact that she IS a Servant.
Drake: What? What do you mean?
Dr. Roman: Actually, in the past, we met "another" her...No, maybe her...Big sister, perhaps?
Dr. Roman: Anyway, we met a girl summoned as a Servant despite being a goddess.
Dr. Roman: Euryale is not a hero,nor is she someone whose name is engraved into history.
Dr. Roman: She was treated as a goddess in Greek mythology. "The one who flies far"–that is Euryale.
Dr. Roman: Or she was a monster. The middle sister of–the three Gorgons.
Dr. Roman: The youngest is the famous Medusa,I can see her being summoned into a Holy Grail War.
Dr. Roman: But, not Euryale. She is just a goddess,an idol of ideals, and undoubtedly weak.
Dr. Roman: For her to be summoned as a Servant is a strange phenomenon.
Dr. Roman: ...Though some other Servants are just as peculiar.
Dr. Roman: Usually it's hard for Divine Spirits to become Servants. Unless there is a really special case.
Dr. Roman: In addition, a pure god becoming a Servant is something that isn't supposed to happen in the world of Magecraft.
Artemis: Really? Who's like that?
Orion: Us, take the hint.
Drake: Basically what you're saying is, Euryale isn't good enough to be kidnapped for her fighting prowess?
Asterios: ...
Drake: Well, that's not a reason for us not to save her. Plus, she's a great singer.
Drake: I like great singers. It is a very important role for sailors, right men?
Pirate: Aye! It heals our rotten heart!
Drake: There ya go. . Don't worry, big guy. Nobody on this ship wants to abandon that girl.
Asterios: ...
Mash: ...
Fujimaru 1: What's wrong, Mash?
Fujimaru 2: Is something the matter?
Mash: ...No. Captain Drake's personality is just very complicated.
Mash: ...It's hard to explain, but she reminds me of you. Facing difficulties. Helping those around her.
Mash: It is an advantage, a merit, that humans possess. But why—
Mash: Is Francis Drake a villain? As she is now, and back in history.
Mash: She is such a good person, but her actions are that of an outlaw.
Mash: I can't understand this contradiction well—
Drake: Ah, dammit. It had to happen in a time like this!
Drake: Everybody tie yourself to the ship! There's a storm coming!
--ARROW--
Pirate: What should we do, Boss?
Drake: Shut up, I'm thinking! Um...The distance between us and that ship is about this much...
Drake: This storm has a small range...Perhaps...Depending on distance, it'll be a tailwind for them...
Drake: ...The ship's armor is...Oh, that's right. Since we used THAT for repairs...
Drake: All right!
Drake: You guys! Good news and bad news, which do you want first?
Pirate: Let's see. Bad news first...
Drake: All right.
Drake: This Hektor guy who kidnapped Euryale probably won't be affected by this storm!
Drake: If we sit tight, he'll probably pull so far away that we'll never catch up!
Pirate: ...Um. So what's the good news?
Drake: Rejoice, guys! We're gonna raise all sails to and cruise at top speed in this storm!
Drake: Let's have another exciting ride through the seas!
Pirate: How is that good news!?
Drake: Shut up or you'll get the boot! Anyways, get moving!
Drake: Mash, Asterios, and Lady Artemis,please help us too!
Drake: ...Of course Fujimaru, too. Okay, let's go!
Mash: Master...L-Let's do our best!
Drake: Come on, keep going!
Pirate: Boss! Our ship won't last much more!
Drake: Really? But it is pretty stable, isn't it?
Pirate: What? ...Now that you mention it, indeed...
Drake: Did you forget? We used a bunch of dragon scales when we repaired this ship.
Drake: It'll take more than this to sink us! This is no sailboat!
Drake: Got that? Now, charge forth!
Pirate: Boss, there's a ship up ahead!
Drake: Did we catch up!?
Pirate: It's not them. That ship is bigger than ours!
Drake: It's similar to Blackbeard's ship!?
Pirate: Yes, but–
Drake: But?
Pirate: It looks pretty beat up. That's all I can tell in this storm!
Drake: Give me the telescope!
Drake: Mm-hmm.... What is that, a ghost ship?
Mash: A ghost ship?
Dr. Roman: Wow, it's even more like an ocean adventure novel now! So much excitement, I want to turn this into a book!
Drake: Hah, ghost ships are usually just vessels that were abandoned for things like mutiny and starvation.
Drake: ...Hmm? Some light...is headed this way...Eek!?
Orion: Drake made a really strange sound just now!
Artemis: Her voice was like a maiden's!
Mash: Master!?
Fujimaru 1: Huh, what?
Fujimaru 2: What's wrong?
Mash: Nothing, I just was shocked by Drake's voice. What happened, Drake?
Drake: F-Forget about my scream, look to the bow! Enemy attack! Ghosts are attacking us!
--BATTLE--
Drake: Ugh...Thank goodness we beat them...
Mash: Drake, are you afraid of ghosts?
Drake: Can't a pirate be superstitious!?
Mash: S-Sure. There's no problem. Sorry.
Drake: All right, the storm is winding down. Hang on just a little more.
Drake: Let's go!
--ARROW--
Hektor: Now, according to my calculations, it's almost time.
Euryale: ...Why me? Does your Master have the same tastes as Blackbeard?
Hektor: Oh no, my boss may be a worthless womanizer,but he's not brave enough to hit on a goddess like you.
Hektor: Let's just say your very existence is important.
Hektor: Even if you've fallen to the level of a Servant,Divine Spirits normally don't appear in this world.
Hektor: ...So, now that you've appeared,it'd be a waste not to use you, right?
Euryale: As a Divine Spirit, I'm low-tier, you know?
Hektor: They're probably not expecting any combat skills from a goddess like you.
Hektor: "Offer a god as a sacrifice. "This is the only thing we expect from you.
Euryale: Oh? Offer to whom?
Hektor: To the world. We can't tolerate being part of an endless spiral.
Hektor: Even if we take a little risk,we have to blow this world to pieces.
Euryale: ...Who do you serve, exactly?
Hektor: Mm...That's a good question. Who do you think this old man is serving!?
Euryale: ...In any case, asserting principles of anarchy is sure to meet interference in the end.
Euryale: Honestly, whether or not they'll come is like fifty-fifty.
Euryale: ...Hmph, it must have been because Asterios was there.
Hektor: What? That is "the Golden Hind! "
Drake: Okay, we caught up. Can't waste anymore time, let's ram into them!
Drake: Are you ready, guys!?
Pirate: Yup!
Mash: Yes!
Drake: Good! Let's land a hard one on that guy!
Mash: Master, we are ready to fight too.
Orion: Hey, Asterios! Calm down, calm down! Relax, please!
Asterios: Euryale!
Artemis: Nope, no good. Can I let him go?
Orion: Letting him go now is like painting a target for that spear. Come, there there. Now, there there.
Asterios: Uhhh!
Orion: Fine! I got it! Wait 10 more seconds. 10, 1, 0!
Artemis: You cut corners, Darling!
Orion: Thinking rationally, there was no way a plush toy could stop a Berserker...
Artemis: You should've realized that sooner!
Mash: Asterios!? I-I will go with him!
Fujimaru 1: Let's rescue Euryale!
Fujimaru 2: Let's help Asterios!
Mash: Yes!
Hektor: Geez, what a pain in the ass. Oh, brother–But this old man...
Hektor: Is really good at defense to the point even I hate it!
--BATTLE--
Mash: These pirates are way more tenacious than before!
Asterios: Give...Baaaaaaaaaaack!
Hektor: Geez, that damned Minotaur! Fine, I'll give her back!
Euryale: Aughh!
Asterios: Eu...
Hektor: Nothing like the predictability of a Berserker!
Mash: I won't let you–!
Hektor: Demi-Servant!
Mash: Hero Hektor—who do you serve, and what are you after...I'll have you tell me!
Hektor: Huh. Pretty interesting, little girl. This old man would rather not take a young life...
Hektor: But the world is cruel like that. Let me show you what that truly means!
--BATTLE--
Hektor: Tch, she's surprisingly tough! That's why I can't stand heroes with shields!
Mash: Haaa!
Hektor: –Well, this old man won through persistence. Dear me, I'm tired, so tired.
Pirate: Boss! A ship up ahead! I-It's a ship that I've never seen before!
Drake: Did you say a ship that you've never seen before?!
Mash: !!!
Hektor: Yes, thanks for that! My current "superior" is on that ship.
Asterios: Oh...Uh!
Hektor: Now, time for the counterattack. This old man's gonna be serious about it now, yeah?
Section 10: World's Oldest Pirate Ship
Pirate: Boss! They're approaching!
Drake: Cannons ready! Fire!
Pirate: Not good, it didn't do anything! They deflected every single cannonball!
Drake: Ugh, each and every one! Hmm. You know what?
Drake: If we wanna burn down a ship, we should just ram our own burning ship into them, yeah?
F：???: –All right, found them. Okay, Heracles.
F：???: Let's send those scrappy masses gathered there a hearty greeting.
Mash: What? They threw a boulder?
Asterios: Move...away!
Asterios: Nuaaaah!!
Euryale: Asterios!
F：???: Hahaha! He managed to barely catch it! That barbarian over there...
F：???: What is that? Is it a werebeast?
E：???: Oh, that's probably Lord Asterios. Otherwise known as the Minotaur.
E：???: The tragic child born from the union of a divine bull and a human.
F：???: So, a poorly created human! A comical creature fated to be defeated by a hero!
F：???: The're really short on talent aren't they? Hahahaha!
F：???: Hektor! You seem to be in trouble. Need help?
Hektor: ...Yes, Captain. I'm so sorry. Could you help?
F：???: No problem, Hektor! The goddess is there? And you have the Holy Grail?
F：???: Then all is well.
F：???: While we're at it,let's settle the score once and for all!
F：???: You, the evildoers trying to "correct" the world...And us, the heroes trying to make it right!
F：???: A suitable finale for the Holy Grail War!
Hektor: Then, this old man will take this opportunity–
Artemis: Ah, he jumped and ran away.
Orion: Let that old guy go. The problem we have here is more important.
Pirate: I won't let you go!
Mash: Master, let's defeat the remaining enemies first. We have to hurry!
--BATTLE--
Artemis: Ohhh. Is that the Argo, by any chance?
Mash: The Argo? Is it possible?
Mash: Orion, by the Argo,do you mean "the" Argo!?
Orion: Yeah, you got it right, dammit. Those are the real "Argonauts! "
Orion: The ship of adventurers who set sail seeking the Golden Fleece. Likely mankind's first and strongest pirates.
Orion: Though unlike our brabuster, generous, big-sisterly, tigbits Captain, their captain will make you think lice have better personalities.
Mash: The leader of the Argonauts...Jason.
Asterios: Ja-so-n!
Jason: So disrespectful, Minotaur. My name should be called with awe and worship!
Jason: But, as you are an ugly monster fated for death,I shall grant you forgiveness.
Jason: Now, come at me!
Hektor: What do we do, Captain? Should we crush them here and now?
Jason: Of course, just like heroes of justice. We will fight and win head-on!
Jason: Indeed, justice makes me feel so good!
Dr. Roman: ...I recommend you withdraw. It's impossible. Since we already have Euryale, it's better to retreat.
Mash: But, Doctor!
Dr. Roman: Powerful heroes were gathered as Argonauts, but...There is one exceptional hero among them...
Mash: ...I know. That Berserker, presumably...
Dr. Roman: Yes. The greatest hero of Greek mythology. He who overcame the Twelve Labors. –Heracles.
Heracles:
--ARROW--
Jason: You can't win! As if you could! Heracles traveled everywhere, fought every monster.
Jason: He was undefeated, and ultimately rose to become a god!
Jason: He's not like you second and third-raters. You trash mobs are fated to be ripped to shreds!
Jason: Of course, as a summoned Servant,he does lack two things.
Jason: Intelligence and dignity. He's just a vicious stray dog now. Serves him right, I'd say.
Jason: Now...Hand over Euryale.
Jason: ...If you do, I'll stop sending Heracles to attack you.
Jason: What do you say, you Master-ish entity?
Fujimaru 1: I refuse.
Fujimaru 2: Shut up.
Euryale: ...
Mash: Master!
Jason: Haha! I see, I see!
Jason: You are very courageous! I really, really, really like you!
Jason: And you have such a cute Servant, too! Good, very good! You're just like a hero!
Jason: Wooo! So cool!
Jason: –Geez, so cocky for the likes of trash. Can you perish now, Servants and all?
Jason: Medea! My beloved Medea!
Medea Lily: Yes. Are you calling me, Master?
Jason: You know what I want, right? I want you to kill them and break them into tiny pieces!
Jason: Just like you did to your little brother! Ah, it's fine, it's fine.
Jason: I already repented! I will never betray you again!
Medea Lily: Little brother, in pieces? Sometimes you say strange things, Master.
Medea Lily: But that's right, Lord Jason was like this. Now, you are like this.
Medea Lily: That's why details don't matter. I'm the first disciple of Hekate, goddess of Magecraft—
Medea Lily: Princess Medea will make your desires come true.
Artemis: Oh, I know this. It is called DV.
Orion: It's worse than DV. Neither of the two are looking at their partner!
Jason: And Heracles! You shall go too! I'll be looking after you two from here.
Mash: ...He sends his wife to the front line, but doesn't fight himself. Um, Master. Maybe he is...
Fujimaru 1: The scum of mankind.
Fujimaru 2: A trivial boss.
Jason: Hah, that's a funny joke.... Kill them all, Heracles!
Orion: To think there's someone even scummier than me. This world is so big, and Greece is so tiny.
--BATTLE--
Mash: Look at their numbers with just the Dragon Tooth Warriors...
Artemis: Familiars created from dragon fangs...That's Hekate's specialty, all right!
Orion: That sparkly kid,is that really Medea?
Orion: That's weird...I thought Medea would look more, like...Ill-fated, or maybe gloomy...
Medea Lily: I still have a lot of materials. Will your ship sink from the Dragon Tooth Soldiers' weight before you are defeated?
Drake: Take that! You're so damn annoying! Get lost!
Drake: Euryale! It's you they're after! Stay with Asterios!
Euryale: But...
Asterios: Rest...assured...
Euryale: I can't do that! Stand back...Wait, are you getting in my way!?
Mash: The second wave is coming!
--BATTLE--
Medea Lily: So they have strong bodies and minds. All right, I'll go too, Master.
Jason: Yes, I'm counting on you, my Medea. Although Heracles alone is enough, with you victory is assured.
Dr. Roman: Here she comes. Princess Medea, a mage known as a"witch" even in Greece, where Magecraft was mainstream!
Dr. Roman: The Witch of Colchis, whose skills rank among the top five in the world!
Medea Lily: I will offer everything, dispose of everything,and sacrifice everything.
Medea Lily: Even without reward, even gaining nothing. That is the reason I left the island.
Medea Lily: Prepare yourselves, everyone!
Medea Lily: I'm not the best at fighting,so please forgive me if I make you suffer...
--BATTLE--
Medea Lily: Impressive. Just what you'd expect of someone who's already crushed two "eras. "
Fou: ...Fou!
Mash: At this rate, we'll make it somehow!
Dr. Roman: Thank goodness she really is a lousy fighter! But the problem is the other one!
--BATTLE--
Medea Lily: I'm sorry, I can't take them down by myself. Heracles–it's your turn, brave one.
Heracles:
Mash: !!!
Asterios: Don't...Leave...My...Side!
Euryale: What are you saying? Of course I'd flee without hesitation.
Euryale: That's Heracles, the strongest hero in the history of mankind. He's like a walking disaster.
Euryale: A man who walks into an avalanche is no hero. He's just a dimwit.
Euryale: ...I've seen many dimwits.
Asterios: ...I...know.
Euryale: In that case–
Asterios: But...if...somebody...needs...to. Then...I...will...Because.
Asterios: I...am...monster. Killed...many...children. Many...Many...Many...Many!
Asterios: So...I...will...go! I...Fight!
Mash: ...They're coming!
Asterios: You...Won't...Have...Her!
--BATTLE--
Asterios: Ugh...uh...aaaaaaaaaaargh!
Heracles:
Mash: Did we defeat him?
Dr. Roman: No, it's no good! I'm still picking up a reaction!
Jason: Oh, effort, effort, so much effort! So, I've got some news for you guys!
Jason: –About Heracles...He's immortal.
Mash: What?
Jason: Heracles' most famous legend. The Twelve Labors given by the gods.
Jason: Since he's overcome them all,he's been granted that many lives as a reward.
Jason: In other words, you have to defeat him eleven more times. Good luck!
Mash: No way...Eleven times...For real?
Dr. Roman: I-Impossible. That is just cheating!
Drake: ...Retreat! Everyone, retreat! Come on, back to the ship!
Jason: Hahahahaha! Great! This is the best! Using overwhelming violence to oust enemies!
Jason: This is the real pleasure behind "justice! "Don't you agree, Hektor?
Hektor: Hmm...well, at least Heracles makes it nice and easy. Ah, and here's the Holy Grail.
Jason: Oh, so this is the Holy Grail. Well, I suppose this is sufficient to be king of this world.
Jason: I only regret that the previous owner was a lowly pirate. Now all I need is Euryale and–"the Ark. "
Jason: Then I'll have everything I need!
Fou: Fou!
Mash: Ark?
Dr. Roman: Did he say "the Ark"!?
Hektor: Captain, you sure it's okay to disclose that?
Jason: It's fine, Hektor! They wouldn't have the slightest clue!
Jason: Not of this world! Not of this era! Not of our true intentions...Nothing!
Hektor: ...Well, I think the lack of understanding is mutual.
Jason: Now, Heracles! Finish them off!
Heracles:
Mash: Ugh!
Asterios: !!!
Euryale: Augh!
Drake: Crap!
Heracles:
Euryale: –Oh, this is not good.
Jason: !? No way! Knock it off, Heracles!
Jason: This will wreck all my plans! Don't kill that woman!
Asterios: !!!
Euryale: !!!
Euryale: Asterios–!?
Asterios: Ugh...GRRRRRRRRRRR!
Euryale: Asterios...it's no good now. We're no match! We can't win against him!
Euryale: It's no good. It's no good, but why...Asterios!
Asterios: !!! ...Ugh!
Asterios: Kill-ed. Killed...killed...killed! Killed...innocent...children!
Asterios: Father...told me...to...do it. Father...called me...monster!
Asterios: But...it...was...my fault. I was sure...my heart was...monster.
Asterios: But...you...called my name. Everyone forgot...my...name!
Asterios: Then...I need to...return. Even if I'm not forgiven...Even if I'm still ugly...
Asterios: I need to...return to human!
Asterios: ...Ugh!
Jason: Quite considerate of you, Ox-head! Medea! Go retrieve Euryale!
Medea Lily: Yes. Just what you'd expect of the Minotaur. Though only once, he ultimately pushed Heracles back.
Drake: Don't you dare...
Drake: Come over here, Euryale!
Medea Lily: ???Why go so far to protect her? You're a pirate knowing no love nor romance, only desire, so why?
Drake: Hah! You don't understand? I may be inhuman, but this girl's beauty is true!
Drake: Her soul is especially beautiful. She's not blind like you. It's obvious we would protect her!
Drake: Euryale is our treasure! I won't let a guy like that get even a hair from her head!
Euryale: Drake!
Mash: Euryale, please stand back! You're the one they're after!
Jason: What are you doing, Heracles? Medea?
Jason: Oh, dammit! Why is everyone else but me a hopeless imbecile?
Jason: Heracles, finish off that ox-man! But don't lay a hand on Euryale!
Heracles:
Asterios: Ugh...uh!
Jason: You can't even obey me now, you piece of scum? U-Ugh—Whew...Hektor!
Hektor: Yessir.... Time to do it?
Jason: ...Yes. When things don't go exactly as I plan,it irritates me.
Jason: I can't stand my own allies' disorderly conduct. If you can't follow orders, you're worse than the enemy.
Hektor: Gotcha. ThenReleasing Noble Phantasm.
Orion: Oh, this doesn't look good. Asterios, dodge it!
Asterios: ...No. I can't...handle...that one.
Hektor: If you want to stop this, you should bring either Achilles'or Aias' shield! "Durindana Pilum"!
Hektor: ...What?
Euryale: No! Asterios!
Heracles:
Jason: Good job, Hektor! That damn ox-head is going to hell along with Heracles!
Jason: But, Heracles will revive immediately. Now, quickly get up and grab Euryale!
Jason: You died once, and ox-head also died! You should have come to your senses a little bit!
Hektor: Oh no.... I don't think that's gonna happen, Captain.
Hektor: That bastard Asterios is still "alive. "
Jason: W-What!?
Hektor: ...Amazing. He's the enemy, but I'm impressed.
Hektor: He clung onto Heracles,fully aware that the spear would pierce through his body.
Hektor: By doing so, my spear becomes a chain,and ties Heracles down.
Hektor: He really wants to let Euryale escape,even if it means receiving a fatal blow.
Asterios: ...Mas-ter! Master! Master! MASTER!
Fujimaru 1: ...We're retreating!
Asterios: Y-Yes! Thank...you!
Asterios: Master...you too...called my name! Everyone...did not hate...monster!
Asterios: First time...For the first time! I was...happy!
Asterios: I am happy...to be...born!
Mash: —
Asterios: Take care of...Euryale! All...thanks to...Euryale—
Asterios: I...love...Euryale!
Drake: We're setting sail! Fire all the smoke bombs we have on hand!
Euryale: You can't. Asterios is–
Orion: Shut up, tiny goddess! Try to understand his feelings!
Euryale: Asterios!
Euryale: No matter what anyone says,you're Asterios and nobody else.
Euryale: And so–I beg of you. Don't regret not fully turning into a monster.
Euryale: Because that's a very noble thing.
Asterios: ...Right. But...after all...a monster...need proper punishment.
Jason: W-What the? Hektor, go after them!
Hektor: I am very sorry, but that's impossible. They sunk into the ocean, with my spear and all.
Hektor: Asterios likely won't let go of Heracles until he dies–
Hektor: By the time Heracles returns,they'll be long gone.
Jason: ...Dammit. Medea!
Medea Lily: Y-Yes?
Jason: Can you track them?
Medea Lily: Yes, I analyzed their Magical Circuits on contact. I can find them as long as they're somewhere in this world.
Jason: Can you find the location of the "Ark? "
Medea Lily: Yes. Even without searching for it–They will find it for us.
Medea Lily: That captain, Francis Drake, was a hero who greatly expanded this world at some point. She is a Pioneer of the Stars.
Medea Lily: Since she pioneers this world,she is sure to work miracles.
Medea Lily: If we nip that in the bud, this world will truly be whatever you desire, Lord Jason.
Medea Lily: Don't worry, Master. We can capture Euryale at any time.
Medea Lily: As long as those two Servants exist,we will be invincible–
Medea Lily: We obtained a fragment of the Holy Grail. With it, we gained the right to rule over this naval world.
Jason: I see! I get it, we just have to use them! That's my Medea!
Jason: You indeed are not a treacherous witch, but the wise wife of a hero. That's what you should be called, my beloved Medea.
Medea Lily: Treacherous witch...Who are you talking about?
Hektor: Hey, Princess. When are you planning to tell him the truth?
Medea Lily: Must I tell the truth? The world is going to end eventually.
Medea Lily: For just these seas to last forever...That's something HE would never allow.
Medea Lily: If so, it's not a bad thing to let him bask in blissful thoughts until the end, is it?
Hektor: ...If you say so,then this old man will keep quiet.
Medea Lily: Anyway, please warn Heracles. It seems he does have a brain after all.
Medea Lily: He probably knows that Euryale is the key. That's why he tried to kill her, to fend off destruction.
Hektor: It's hard to believe he has "a brain" in that state...Fine, I'll give him ample warning.
Hektor: Oh, brother. This old man wishes he was summoned to a proper Holy Grail War...
Medea Lily: The Hand of the End has ticked forward again. One more push, and "the order" will crumble and fall.
Medea Lily: My beloved. Before then, would you please awaken me from my dream?
Section 11: Lost Ark of the Covenant
Pirate: No sign of any approaching ships.
Drake: ...I see.
Euryale: ...
Mash: ...Master. What do you think we should do from now on?
Fujimaru 1: About that "Ark" they mentioned?
Fujimaru 2: Steal the item they want.
Drake: So what exactly is this "Ark? "
Mash: Doctor, please explain.
Dr. Roman: ...The "Ark" contains the Ten Commandments that Moses, leader of ancient Israel, received from God.
Dr. Roman: From a historical standpoint,it's a relic equivalent to that of the true Holy Grail.
Drake: ...Hmm. So it has no worth as treasure, then? What a pity.
Mash: That's what Jason and the Argonauts are searching for. I'm certain that that's what he said.
Mash: Even with Mistah Blackbeard gone, the Singularity still stands.
Mash: Which means we should assume that Jason,captain of the Argonauts, is the Singularity.
Mash: ...So should we steal the Ark first?
Orion: The Ark, huh...How are they planning to use it?
Dr. Roman: ...I don't know. I have no idea whatsoever.
Artemis: Come on. You're not fighting on the front lines,at least make yourself useful.
Dr. Roman: ...Oh, sorry, that's not what I meant.
Dr. Roman: What I found incomprehensible was the actual concept of using the Ark.
Fujimaru 1: The concept itself was incomprehensible?
Fujimaru 2: There's no way to use the Ark?
Dr. Roman: They say the Ten Commandments are sealed inside. Whoever opens it will be punished...
Dr. Roman: Basically it's one of those "don't open it" fables. Just like Pandora's Box in Greece.
Dr. Roman: Which is why I can't even begin to imagine why they'd want to find it and use it. It's just stupid.
Mash: ...I see. Doctor, you're afraid of imagining the worst-case scenario.
Artemis: You're too cautious. Either that, or you're too smart.
Dr. Roman: Mm...I admit that I'm too cautious...But you're all so carefree because you don't know about the legend of the Ark.
Drake: Okay, okay, no more fighting. In any case, it's better to find this Ark thing for sure, right?
Drake: Let's hurry up and get it. If it comes to it, we can smash it out of spite.
Dr. Roman: Captain, have you been listening? "The Ark" activates when it's broken or opened.
Dr. Roman: And the effect is...well, it is divine punishment. At worst, the surrounding area will be reduced to nothingness.
Drake: What the hell? Why did ancient kings possess something so dangerous!? Were they all idiots or what?
Dr. Roman: Don't look at me, I got nothing to do with it.
Mash: ...I'm for going after the"the Ark. "
Mash: Um...I'm just not sure how to fight the Argonauts. More specifically, how do we fight Heracles?
Euryale: Heracles...Even as a Berserker,his powers as a great hero weren't diminished.
Euryale: It was only because Asterios held him down that we were able to flee to safety.
Euryale: ...Seems like he died.
Mash: ...Yes, most likely.
Euryale: –How foolish. We just called his name. That's all it took for him–
Euryale: With just that, he felt he could die for us. Just because we called him "Asterios," not "Minotaur. "
Euryale: That's the reason he risked his life to protect us...It was just that pure and simple.
Fujimaru 1: He had no regrets.
Fujimaru 2: Without him we all would have died.
Euryale: ...Perhaps. But it might have been better if we were cleanly wiped out then and there.
Euryale: Asterios died, and Heracles still lives. With just that, it makes it all seem so hopeless.
Euryale: Sigh. Geez, this had to be the one time where my "loser sister" wasn't summoned.
Drake: That Heracles...He has to die like ten more times?
Mash: It's eleven times. But perhaps he died once when he got pierced by the spear at the end.
Mash: In that case, it's still ten...Not much difference.
Pirate: Boss, sorry to bug you when you're thinking. But a ghost ship has appeared!
Drake: Huh? Oh fine, let's take our frustrations out and crush them!
--BATTLE--
Drake: All right. We'll get going soon!
Mash: Huh? But we have no strategy yet...
Drake: Oh please, we can just play it by ear! They say you can't deal with trouble till you run into it.
Drake: Besides, if we waste more time here, they are just gonna come after Euryale again after they grab that "Ark. "
Drake: Anyway, lay forward!
Drake: If what Jason said was correct,neither of us has any leads.
Drake: Though, we have a better chance because I'm here instead of their incompetent captain!
Euryale: ...Well, it's true that Jason's worthless. At least, you're probably a better captain.
Orion: He's not a bad guy.
Orion: He's just utterly worthless with a horrible personality,and now he's getting cocky because he's gained some power.
Mash: Senpai, I don't understand which part of him is "not a bad guy. "
Artemis: Just because you say someone's not a bad guy,that doesn't excuse everything they've done.
Orion: Right. Okay, I take it back. He's not a good guy.
Orion: He's a scumbag with a terrible personality, but has power.
Mash: There's nothing good about him whatsoever...
Drake: See, that's what I meant. In that case, I win.
Drake: Treasure always ends up in the pocket of the decisive one. That's how this world works!
Drake: If Heracles is unstoppable, then bring it on. Only humans can challenge the impossible.
Drake: We're greedy and shameless. We live by dreaming of achieving the impossible!
Drake: Isn't that right, Fujimaru?
Drake: Since you've come all the way to this era,that makes you just as big a fool as me, right?
Fujimaru 1: Not as much as you, Captain.
Fujimaru 2: If that's what you think of me, it's promising.
Drake: Damn right you are! I'm a merchant. I only go after the best goods!
Mash: ...That's right. Both in France and in Rome,that's how it was for us.
Mash: Let's go, Senpai. With you as my Master,I feel I can take on any opponent!
Fujimaru 1: Anchors aweigh!
Fujimaru 2: Set sail!
Drake: Full speed ahead then! Get to it, men! Sound the bell!
Drake: The "Ark" will be ours! Let's go!
--BATTLE--
Pirate: Land ho, Boss!
Drake: All right, get us closer! ...So, what's your take, scholar man?
Dr. Roman: ...This island's no good, either.
Dr. Roman: No magical energy detected. We have several weak responses, but based on recorded data it's probably just monsters.
Dr. Roman: It's a bust. On to the next.
Drake: You heard her! To starboard! Avoid that island!
Pirate: Aye, aye!
Drake: ...This island's also no good. That's three in a row.
Drake: I'm happy the charts are filling up,but nothing looks like a clue.
Mash: No Servants around, either.
Mash: ...Even if there were, we probably wouldn't find someone who could put up a fight against Heracles...
Drake: All right, to the next island!
Orion: ...You know, something still bugs me...About that Medea, I mean.
Mash: Medea...You mean the young girl standing next to Jason, right?
Mash: She looked too sweet to be called the Witch of Colchis...
Orion: Yeah. If Medea transformed into a Servant,she'd definitely be her grown up self, right?
Orion: Medea was betrayed terribly by Jason,so she massacred his wife and children for revenge.
Orion: ...No matter how you look at it, they should've started killing each other the moment she was summoned!
Artemis: That's awful!
Artemis: At least Orion only flirts and randomly messes around with goddesses and other people's wives, right?
Orion: Yeah, it's better to break those off clean...Pugyuru!?
Orion: Dammit, that was a loaded question!
Dr. Roman: Hmm. It could be that she's the young Medea.
Dr. Roman: Servants are summoned at the height of their powers,but this is before she became a witch...
Dr. Roman: In other words, when she was first learning Magecraft at Colchis Temple...Before she became "Jason's wife. "
Dr. Roman: That explains the way she looked and acted. She hasn't experienced Jason abandoning her yet.
Mash: I wonder if we should pity her...
Euryale: Impossible. Once you become a Heroic Spirit,a slight difference in age won't alter your memories.
Euryale: ...I'm sure she knows the outcome of her story with Jason. So why does she act like that...
Drake: It's obvious she's "acting oblivious. "It's a pity, but also horrifying.
Drake: Unlike you, she's not someone who can look a person in the eye and pick a fight.
Euryale: What does that mean? I ignore humans because they don't matter to me, okay?
Dr. Roman: ...I know this! What they call that cold attitude of hers...
Dr. Roman: That explains Blackbeard's obsession...She's obviously a tsun—
Pirate: Boss! A new island!
Drake: All right! We're sure to hit the jackpot this time!
--BATTLE--
Orion: Hey, Fujimaru. Which side you betting on?
Fujimaru 1: Jackpot.
Fujimaru 2: Miss again.
Orion: I see. Well, I'm for–
Orion: ...Eek!?
Artemis: An arrow in your head, Darling? Jackpot!
Mash: Master, we're under attack!
Euryale: Oh, an arrow, you should duck.
Artemis: Darling, hey, hey, does it hurt? Does it actually hurt?
Orion: It hurts a ton, idiot! G-Gotta pull it out!
Orion: D-Damn...Hey, I just realized...I can't touch the top of my head!?
Mash: A shocking fact has just been discovered, Master!
Orion: Pull it out! Come on, hurry up!
Artemis: A-All right. Artemis will do her best! Ready, set, twirl...twirl!
Orion: Ouch ouch ouch! Just hurry up and pull it out! You're ridiculous!
Artemis: Oh, this makes me so happy! It's not every day people think I'm useful like this!
Drake: Ugh...You're making me cry...What an admirable maiden's soul. (Tears)
Orion: Wish you'd make expressions like that under different circumstances!
Orion: Oh...oh. I thought I was a goner...
Orion: ...Huh? There's something on it.
Mash: What?
Orion: Oh, it's a message. Let me see...
Orion: ...Somebody open it, please.
Artemis: All right. Let's see...Oh!
Mash: Artemis?
Artemis: Hehehe, it's from someone I know. So stiff, as usual!
Artemis: Perhaps because she's a pure girl who's never known love?
Mash: Someone you know...Um, who would that be?
Artemis: Uh...This girl is–
--BATTLE--
D：???: All right, it's delivered.
E：???: ...Whew. They're sure to notice the letter on that arrow. It's not like they have any clues right now.
E：???: Now they've got to come to this island...They should. But there is an off chance...Or not?
E：???: Oh no, I'm getting anxious. If they don't figure out that arrow, we'll never get another chance!
E：???: It's about time the Argonauts found us as well.... And if things don't play out, it's checkmate.
E：???: ...This is bad. It's super bad. I'm getting horribly anxious. I need some medicine.
D：???: Shut up.
D：???: They have no will to fight? Impossible. We've already confirmed–They're determined to fight.
D：???: We're sure they're seeking the "Ark," right? Otherwise, they wouldn't be going island-hopping.
D：???: They'll surely come. The world will be destroyed if they don't.
E：???: Of course my calculations are correct. Oh, but...No, I just can't.
E：???: I can't stand the anxiety, the feeling that everything is futile!
E：???: I know, my love...May I hold your hand?
E：???: I'd like your soft hand to guide me to tranquility. Desperately.
D：???: May you? You may not. So no.
E：???: ...I'd like an explanation as to why I may not, but...
Both: They're here!
Orion: Hey, hey, are you really going to meet HER?
Artemis: Huh? Of course. She's a hunter who worships me.
Artemis: I have to give her my blessing.
Orion: Hmm, well, okay.
Mash: Orion, is there a problem?
Orion: I mean, well, Mash. Artemis is the goddess of virginity.
Artemis: Oh, Darling. Virginity? You're embarrassing me.
Artemis: Oh, but I do run simulations every day of the day I lose my virginity, you see?
Orion: What's that now?
Artemis: Um, um. Orion first slams his hand against the wall. Like, SLAM.
Artemis: And then he whispers in my ear, "Am I not good enough? " In a husky voice! And then, and then–
Fou: Foou...
Orion: I don't know why, but Fou's gaze makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! I could just cry!
Euryale: Her head is just way too romantic...If "she" saw that, I think she'd faint from shock.
Euryale: ...Huh?
Orion: Um, Artemis?
Artemis: And then, and then? ...Wait, what's with that look?
Orion: Enemies are here and I'd like you to defeat them...
Artemis: Oh, dear me! I'm so clumsy! Tee-hee☆
Artemis: Okay, we'll defeat them quickly!
--BATTLE--
Mash: Combat complete. Let's keep going, Master.
E：???: Wait!
Mash: !!!
Drake: Are you the one who sent that arrow?
E：???: That's right!
E：???: ...Are you foes of the Argonauts? Or have you already given up and submitted?
Fujimaru 1: Foes.
Fujimaru 2: We haven't given up.
E：???: ...Very well! Then I shall show myself!
E：???: ...Forgive my questioning. I already knew the answer, but I still had to ask.
E：???: We are, after all, the last hope in these seas.
Mash: ...Atalante, I presume?
Atalante: Indeed. My True Name is Atalante. A hunter in service to the goddess Artemis.
Atalante: ...Oh, come to think of it, we ran into each other a bit in France, didn't we?
Atalante: I was affected by Madness Enhancement back then...But this time I've been summoned as a normal Archer.
Atalante: For now, I perceive to be on your side.
Mash: Thank you very much. My name is Mash Kyrielight.
Mash: This is my Master, Fujimaru.
Mash: And the ship's captain, Francis Drake,and this is Euryale.
Atalante: Yes, good to meet you.
Mash: This harmless-looking plush toy is Orion,and the animal is Fou.
Fou: Fooou.
Orion: A pleasure...By the way, Mash, why did you introduce me with Fou? Are we in the same category?
Mash: Also, this is Artemis.
Atalante: Francis Drake, Euryale,Orion the plush toy, and Artemis, huh?
Atalante: ...Artemis?
Artemis: Yeees♪
Atalante: ......
Atalante: Mash, was it? You can stop joking.
Atalante: Lady Artemis is the goddess of hunting and virginity. There's no way she could be summoned as a Servant.
Artemis: Hey, Darling? Atalante doesn't believe me.
Artemis: What's wrong with the goddess of virginity living for love? Right?
Orion: Hah-hah-hah. No comment! No comment!
Atalante: ...Huh? Really?
Artemis: It's true, Atalante. The hunter goddess who lives for love, that's me–
Artemis: Artemis! Hehe!
Atalante: ...(Staggers)
Mash: A-Are you okay!?
Atalante: I-I'm fine. The Holy Grail War on the great seas has strengthened my mind a bit...
Atalante: E-Even finding out the goddess I worship is hopelessly romantic won't be enough to break me!
Fujimaru 1: The wound's deep, be disappointed.
Fujimaru 2: Hang in there, maiden.
Atalante: You don't sound like you mean it! ...Anyway, I would like to introduce you to another Servant.
Atalante: The Servant in possession of the "Ark. "In other words, the man the Argonauts seek.
Mash: The "Ark" is a Noble Phantasm!?
Atalante: Indeed. He was the first Servant summoned to these seas. His True Name is–
F：???: Hey, I've been waiting a long time for you guys.
Atalante: David.
Fou: Foou...
Section 12: Defeat Heracles
David: Normally I'd hold a feast with food and drink,but first, let me explain about the "Ark. "
Euryale: Fine with me. I like men who get to the point.
David: Thank you. I am David, King of Israel. The "Ark" is my Noble Phantasm.
Fujimaru 1: ...King of Israel?
Fujimaru 2: Israel? You mean...
David: Yes, that King of Ancient Israel. Is there something on my face?
Mash: No, it's nothing. Don't worry about it.
Mash: ...Psst! Senpai! I thought it was a perfectly valid question to ask. Let's hear him out for now.
Fou: Fou.
David: ...Now, before I continue, it seems we've been interrupted. While we're at it, let's recover any edible meat we find.
--BATTLE--
David: Anyway, back to our discussion.
David: The "Ark" is a third-rate Noble Phantasm. If you make someone touch the box, they die–That's it.
David: Could it be used for evil? ...Yeah, probably. Strictly speaking, it doesn't belong to me.
David: It's like a contract that God gave to humanity. It's not easy to steal, but it's bad news if stolen.
David: What's more, you can't shift it into spirit form.
David: I'm the Servant summoned to this world along with the actual physical "Ark. "
David: Even if I die,it will remain as long as someone possesses it.
Mash: It is said that inside the box lies the stone tablets engraved with the Ten Commandments...
David: But that's not all. That thing brings literal "death," not just metaphorical.
David: Anyway...After I heard from Atalante that Jason was after the "Ark"...
David: I hid in the forest with her, and waited for an opportunity.
David: We waited for properly summoned Servants,like you.
Atalante: I was summoned as part of the Argonaut crew,but I didn't lose control of myself like Heracles.
Atalante: Maybe because I never liked Jason in life, or because I was summoned as an Archer who can act freely.
Atalante: Either way, once summoned,Jason immediately sought the "Ark. "
Atalante: He kept saying that if he had it,he could be the king of these seas.
Mash: Is the "Ark" a representation of kingship?
David: Hardly. It's just a relic I offered to God when I was a king.
David: It's not a sign of kingship. It's simply something owned by a king.
Euryale: ...David, may I ask something?
David: Of course. Ask me anything.
Euryale: If I were to be sacrificed to this "Ark,"what would happen?
Euryale: If nothing else,that seems to be their goal...
David: Euryale, right? You were originally a Divine Spirit. If you were sacrificed to the "Ark"–
David: Yeah, this whole era would "die. "
Dr. Roman: Sigh. I thought so.
Mash: Huh?
David: Details—After the fight!
--BATTLE--
David: Like I said before, the "Ark"brings death to all things–
David: Sacrificing a soul that exists as a god, regardless of rank, would cause the box to lose control.
David: The death of a god means the death of the world. The Ark is a disaster from that kind of era.
David: If this was a normal world, it would only destroy the surrounding area, but, hmm...
David: This is an unstable place that normally wouldn't exist,right? I doubt such a groundless world like this can survive.
David: Um, a Singularity, was it? The thing blurring the foundation of human history.
David: This whole era will disappear without having to wait for its collapse.
Drake: There'd be no need to use a weird Holy Grail...or even steal mine, for that matter.
Drake: They can use that box to sacrifice a goddess,and at that point it will all be over.
Mash: ...Why does Jason want to destroy the world so badly?
Atalante: Who knows? ...He may not even know himself.
Atalante: Somebody may have convinced him that all he has to do is offer Euryale to the "Ark. "
Mash: –Either way.
Mash: We know why they're after this Noble Phantasm,and why we absolutely must stop them.
Mash: The question is how do we defeat them...By the way, David, is your class Archer?
David: That's right. Atalante is an Archer as well.
Mash: Talk about unbalanced. Four Archers, a Shielder,and one Pirate...
Atalante: We're up against Heracles, Medea, and Hektor. We don't have to count Jason, I suppose.
Fujimaru 1: Why?
Fujimaru 2: Is he that weak?
Atalante: He's weak. Rather, he's never actually fought.
Atalante: He's a monster who formed the Argonauts with just charisma and eloquence, but he's no fighter.
Atalante: But I doubt having one useless member in their party poses any problems for them.
Atalante: ...They have Heracles, after all.
Mash: Multiple resurrections from the Twelve Labors. And above all else, his prominent combat techniques.
Mash: I don't see how we can beat him.
Orion: We, on the other hand, are full of fighters who specialize in long-distance combat.
David: If we can get him to touch the "Ark,"we might be able to instantly obliterate him.
Artemis: Would he touch it that easily?
David: It's a what-if. Even a Berserker can sense the magical energy around Noble Phantasms. You'd never walk up to a bomb, right?
David: If he had no choice but to touch it, then maybe...But how could we force that situation?
--BATTLE--
Mash: Not just Heracles. Medea and Hektor also possess terrifying power.
Mash: If all three attack at once,it'll be impossible for us to hold out.
Mash: If we could at least lure Heracles away from the others–
Fujimaru 1: ...
Dr. Roman: ...How about we flee with the "Ark" in tow,and wait for an opportunity...
Mash: Doctor, just go choke on an expired sesame bun or something.
Fujimaru 1: ...
Orion: How about we hole up? Anywhere like that near here?
Atalante: Nope. Some cramped pagan catacombs are all this island has.
Atalante: Even if there were some kind of stronghold here,it wouldn't be enough to hold off Heracles.
Orion: Hmm, I suppose you're right.
Fujimaru 1: ...
Fou: Fou? Fou, fou, fou!
Mash: What's wrong, Fou? Huh, Master?
Mash: Master?
Fujimaru 1: I have an idea.
Mash: ...Yes?
Drake: Oh good, nice, great idea! You're just as reliable a [♂ man /♀ woman] as I thought!
David: That's a reasonable strategy. But, besides the Servants,Fujimaru would also be at risk.
David: Well, I guess that's life. The odds of winning usually go up with your life on the line.
Euryale: It's quite a gamble. If you fail, you're done. No turning back. A one-shot deal.
Artemis: So I guess the question is how the enemy will act.
Artemis: Will Heracles head straight for Euryale?
Orion: ...Out of countless Heroic Spirits, Heracles is likely in the top tier.
Orion: Even though he's Berserker, I doubt he's completely devoid of intelligence.
Orion: When he was fighting Asterios,he was dead set on going after Euryale.
Orion: ...That's the reason Asterios somehow managed to keep up.
Drake: Berserkers are easy to lure. The one I can't get a read on is Jason.
Drake: He impaled the enemy along with his own ally. Who knows what other cowardly tricks he'll pull off?
Atalante: No, don't worry about Jason. Trust me. I'm sure he will act this way.
Atalante: ...It's true he's a coward, but, more than that,he places absolute trust in Heracles.
Atalante: I like Fujimaru's plan. Count me in.
David: Count me in, too. Since everyone's betting equally,it's fine as long as one of us survives and wins it all.
Orion: ...What destructive thoughts this guy has. Or is it irresponsibility?
Artemis: And you, Darling?
Orion: Are you expecting something from me, a plush toy?
Orion: It's Mash who has it toughest here. She's risking her life on the front line.
Orion: Shouldn't Mash decide whether we go through with this plan or not?
Mash: ...I'm fine. I'll make sure that the plan Master devised succeeds.
Mash: Of course, that's contingent on the Doctor's cooperation.
Mash: Doctor? You've been silent for a while now. Are you listening?
Dr. Roman: Of course I'm listening. It's risky, but we don't have any time left. Count me in.
Dr. Roman: We don't know when or if King David will fall into enemy hands. I'll provide all the backup I can.
Fujimaru 1: Let's do this.
Fujimaru 2: Let's win.
Mash: Yes, Master!
Section 13: Betting It All
Medea Lily: That's the island.
Jason: Ah, I see. Euryale hasn't been killed yet?
Medea Lily: She's still alive.
Hektor: ...Even though they know they're being targeted...I question their judgment.
Hektor: ...Well, whatever. It's their choice. I'll leave the decisions here up to our captain.
Jason: All right! The luck of the gods is on our side. Heracles, Medea, Hektor!
Jason: Land on that island and seize both Euryale and the "Ark! "
Jason: I–
Hektor: Whoa!
Jason: Huh, arrows? ...What fools. As if these flimsy arrows would work against Heracles–
Medea Lily: !!!
Medea Lily: Lord Jason! They're–aiming at you!
Jason: ...What?
Atalante: Well then, time to show off all our Noble Phantasms.
Atalante: I dedicate this to Apollo and Artemis–"Phoebus Catastrophe! "
Artemis: Awww...How touching♪
Artemis: ...What's wrong, Darling? Your head is in your hands and you're shivering.
Orion: It's a knee-jerk-reaction from hearing Apollo's name...
Artemis: Hehe. Then, it's my turn! Deploy Noble Phantasm! Hear my song of love! "Tri-Star Amore Mio! "
Euryale: It might be a waste to use my Noble Phantasm on such a disgusting idiot. Well, whatever, I'll use it without hesitation. Noble Phantasm–"Eye of the Euryale! "
David: I'm jealous. Jason, you're so popular! Let me share something with you too. Noble Phantasm–"Hamesh Avanim! "
Hektor: Whoa, a concentrated attack of Noble Phantasms Ugh, what a pain!
Medea Lily: They have also mixed in A-rank attacks! They are leaving no openings!
Jason: W-Why? Why is it all directed to me–You damn cowards!
Medea Lily: Please stay calm, Master. I shall protect you!
Jason: Oh, uh, thanks Medea.... But I just can't count on someone so inexperienced...
Jason: Hektor! You stay here too! Protect me like a true Servant!
Jason: Heracles! They're just Archers. Pulverize them with one blow!
Heracles:
Medea Lily: ...Sigh.
Hektor: ...Up to this point it's going just like the enemy wants it to.
Hektor: But, what are they planning to do against Heracles? The ox-head aside, that shield girl isn't going to cut it.
Hektor: To defeat Heracles, they'd need 12 wielders of A-rank Noble Phantasms, or...
Hektor: No, that can't be. There's no reason to risk one's life to that extent, is there, oh Future Mage?
Euryale: He's here, Fujimaru.... I mean, Master.
Euryale: Do everything you can to protect me!
Fujimaru 1: Got it!
Fujimaru 2: Let's run.
Dr. Roman: I'll show you the route to take! For now, Fujimaru, just run!
Euryale: Yes, let's go!
Heracles:
Mash: Just as expected, he's targeting Euryale! First, let's hold him down here!
Drake: All right, I'll give you as much support as I can! Mash, this plan all depends on you!
Drake: Time to brace yourself!
Atalante: I'll take Mash with me.
Mash: Yes! ...Mash Kyrielight, here I go!
--BATTLE--
Mash: (Pant, pant, pant...)
Heracles:
Mash: ...As predicted, he's headed towards Euryale!
Euryale: I know! On to the next!
--ARROW--
Euryale: Hey, can't you run any faster?
Fujimaru 1: I am trying!
Fujimaru 2: Doing my best!
Euryale: He's here!
Atalante: He's caught up! Mash, go!
Mash: Yes! Great Hero Heracles–!
Mash: It's time for a rematch!
Orion: All right, Artemis! Let's do this!
Artemis: Yeah! I won't pull any punches here!
Heracles:
--BATTLE--
David: He's here. Euryale, Fujimaru, hurry!
Euryale: Master, do your best! Just hang in there a bit longer!
Fujimaru 1: I'm super-duper running!
Fujimaru 2: I'm giving it all I got!
Atalante: He's here, so get ready!
Mash: We've caught up. Here we go!
--BATTLE--
Euryale: Run, run! If we don't hurry...
Heracles:
Euryale: He's here. There's nowhere to run anymore. Scared?
Fujimaru 1: I'm scared.
Euryale: I see...Me too.
Fujimaru 2: I'm not scared.
Euryale: I see...You're overdoing it.
Euryale: If we stop, he'll catch up to us. We have no choice, jump over the you-know-what!
Fujimaru 1: Even if a touch means death!?
Fujimaru 2: I'm not confident!
Euryale: Never mind that and just jump! Trust me!
Euryale: All right– One, two, three!
Euryale: W-We did it! You can do anything you put your mind to, Master!
Heracles: !!!
Euryale: He stopped! It looks like Heracles was able to understand...
Euryale: What that box separating us really is...
Atalante: That's far enough, Heracles!
Mash: Heracles, the Noble Phantasm that Jason seeks is right in front of you!
Heracles: !!!
Mash: The "Ark" kills whoever touches it. Since you still have ten lives, this is the only way to defeat you.
Mash: Master, bear with us just a little longer.
Mash: Heracles, we will stop you! –Here we go!
--BATTLE--
Mash: Take this!
Drake: Force him in!
Heracles:
David: All right, he touched it!
Mash: ...We've defeated Heracles. No, it was more like he disappeared instead of dying.
Mash: Honestly, I still can't believe it. Master, are you all right!?
Fujimaru 1: I'm fine.
Fujimaru 2: I thought I was gonna die.
Euryale: ...We were all terrified. But, I'm glad you're not just some savage hero.
Euryale: You knew your own weakness, and still did what you could. You did a wonderful job, Master.
Drake: Now, the only one left is that revolting Jason. Let's go free the seas once and for all!
Section 14: Pioneer of the Stars
Hektor: ...He's late.
Jason: The arrows have stopped. Medea, check things out with your familiar.
Medea Lily: That's unnecessary. It seems Heracles has been defeated.
Jason: What? Hey Medea, that's not funny.
Drake: Oh, there he is. Hey Jason! Can you hear me?
Drake: Well then, we're coming for you!
Jason: ...Impossible! Heracles! What happened to Heracles!?
Drake: Oh, come on. You really need to ask?
Drake: If he was alive,we obviously wouldn't be, right?
Drake: Since we're alive, it means he's dead. That's pretty simple logic.
Jason: There's no way he'd die! He's Heracles! The great immortal hero!
Jason: He's the epitome of a hero, someone who heroes admired, challenged, yet still fell short of!
Jason: There's no way a petty, ragtag bunch like you could ever overcome someone like that!
Drake: ...I guess even you felt a semblance of friendship. Even if it was a distorted one.
Drake: Well, fine. If that's what you want to believe, so be it. We'll settle the match.
Jason: Ugh! ...Get us out of here!
Hektor: Oh, thinking of running?
Jason: We're retreating! Using this Holy Grail,all I need to do is summon a new Servant!
Hektor: As far as I can tell, we're still at an advantage here.... Well, gotta follow the captain's orders.
Drake: So you ARE thinking of running. Just as I thought. Men, are you all ready?
Drake: "Golden Hind! "This is our last voyage, our final task as pirates!
Drake: The target is the Argo! The treasure they hold captive is the freedom of the seas!
Drake: We'll have them pay us back in full! Ring the bells, brothers!
Pirate: Aye, aye, Boss!
Drake: Hard to port! Make a steady approach and fire the cannons and guns!
Jason: What're you doing? Hurry up and cut us loose!
Hektor: With so many Archers on their side, their attacks are that much more fierce.
Medea Lily: Never mind the cannonballs...It's Atalante's arrows. We're the only ones who can block them.
Jason: Damn, how are they catching up! This is the legendary ship, Argo!
Jason: It's in a different class from their mundane sailboat!
Hektor: The difference is in the helmsman, I guess. Those are the skills of one who has lived with the sea.
Hektor: They're fundamentally different from someone who just takes his boat out casually.
Jason: Damn...We have no choice. O Holy Grail!
Drake: We've caught up with you, pretty boy! Let's see what you got!
Jason: You lowly scum! Go! Kill them!
Fou: Fou!
Mash: ...That's a Shadow Servant! Be careful, everyone!
David: Oh boy. What a rotten thing.
David: ...But, I guess since you're relying on tricks like this,it means you're pretty much cornered, right?
Jason: How dare you, you piece of...
David: Now, now, Jason was it? No need for such a scary face...Guess I really hit the mark, didn't I?
--BATTLE--
Drake: All right, let's board! ...Then again, we're just all Archers.
Atalante: I'm going. Being an Archer doesn't mean I can't handle close-range combat.
David: In that case, I guess I'll go, too. If I die, I'll trust you'll take care of the rest.
Fou: Fou!
Mash: Mash Kyrielight, here I go!
--ARROW--
Jason: Hektor!
Hektor: Yes, yes, I know. All right, Medea.
Hektor: If the need arises, I'll be counting on you.
Medea Lily: Yes. It is my duty to protect our Master. I will look after him until the very end.
Hektor: Oooh, scary...Is this what they mean by "naturally insane"...Hm?
Hektor: Hi, future [♂ boy /♀ girl]. Your name was Fujimaru, right?
Hektor: I'm impressed you've come this far. It's truly amazing. France, Rome, and now "here. "
Hektor: I appreciate you coming all this way. I value that kind of perseverance.
Fujimaru 1: This guy!
Fujimaru 2: Do you know about Chaldea?
Hektor: Oh, my hunch was right, that's all. I'm just a warrior who couldn't pick a Master to serve.
Hektor: Now, let's see who can hold out longer. This old man is pretty confident in defensive battles.
Hektor: So—Come at me with everything you've got, brat. I'll show you how experience trumps youth.
Mash: ...This is Hektor, the hero of the Trojan War. We can't let our guard down. Let's take him down, Master!
--BATTLE--
Hektor: ...Dammit, this is it for me. Well, I did what I could.
Hektor: But at least I'll leave a parting gift. Euryale, offer your life–to the "Ark! "
Mash: Oh no!
Euryale: –Yes, that is what I expected you would do.
Hektor: Wha...
Euryale: "Eye of the Euryale. "
Hektor: Urgh...This old man's scheme...How did you see through it?
Euryale: Oh, I didn't see through anything. But you killed Asterios.
Euryale: That alone was reason enough for me to pay close attention to you, old man.
Hektor: ...Pfft. I guess I'm just not cut out to be a villain.
Hektor: I thought I'd at least go out big at the end of the world. But your hands are tied when the "top" is terrible.
Jason: Wha...Hektor!?
Medea Lily: Hektor has passed on, too. Lord Jason, what shall we do now?
Medea Lily: Impossible to surrender or retreat. I'm a mage who can only heal and defend.
Medea Lily: Now, what shall we do?
Jason: Silence, woman! If you're my wife,act like one and think about protecting your husband!
Medea Lily: Yes. Of course I am thinking, Master. After all, that's what a Servant does.
Jason: ...What's that look? Why are you still smiling!? Don't you understand what this situation means?
--ARROW--
David: Wait! Before that, I have a question for Jason.
David: ...Who gave you such an idiotic idea as sacrificing Euryale to the "Ark? "
Jason: That's none of your business!
David: Oh, I think it is. After all, if you had sacrificed her, the world would have been destroyed.
Jason: —What?
David: Of course. That box brings death.
David: To offer it a Divine Spirit is completely insane.
David: This era is unstable to begin with. It would have killed the era itself.
Jason: —Ridiculous. Lies. That can't be—
David: That's why I'm asking you.
David: "Sacrificing a Divine Spirit will grant infinite power. "Who tempted you with that promise?
David: Was it Hektor? Medea?
Jason: ...Medea? He's lying...isn't he?
Jason: Sacrificing a Divine Spirit to the "Ark"would've grant me powers and invincibility, right?
Jason: I mean, that's what HE told me...
Medea Lily: It is no lie. After all, the death of an era brings complete destruction.
Medea Lily: If the world is destroyed, your enemies will cease to exist. See–? That makes you invincible, no?
Jason: Y-you. You people lied to me?
Jason: That doesn't serve my purpose at all! I was finally going to create an ideal nation!
Jason: One where everyone respects me! A true utopia, where all are content, and there is no war!
Jason: Was this trial not for that purpose!? Was it not to give me a second chance!?
Medea Lily: ...That is a dream that can never come true, Lord Jason. It is beyond you.
Medea Lily: You'll never be an ideal king. Even if your heart truly wished for peace, your soul is hopelessly twisted.
Medea Lily: You cannot make your dream come true. Not in the manner that you desire.
Medea Lily: You will only realize your fate the moment you obtain what you truly desire, then crush it with your own hands.
Jason: What...What are you talking about, witch!? What does a woman who was holed up in a rural shrine know!?
Jason: I was born the son of a king, but my uncle robbed me of my throne. I was forced into the care of a centaur!
Jason: Even while suffering that indignity, I became resourceful. I built the Argo and gathered a crew of heroes!
Jason: So what part of me!? Where!? Where am I lacking the qualifications to be king!?
Jason: I just wanted to take back my own land! I just wanted my own nation!
Jason: How is that wrong, you traitor!?
Medea Lily: ...Such a pity. Ever since I was summoned,I have told you nothing but the truth.
Medea Lily: I am Princess Medea. Prior to being betrayed,I was a witch who blindly believed the one who summoned me.
Medea Lily: That is why I have protected you all this time. You were chosen by "that" king.
Medea Lily: Everything is real, everything is true.... Though there may have been some misunderstandings.
Medea Lily: For example, I just said I would protect you, yes? But how I will protect you–
Jason: Huh?
Medea Lily: This, is how.
Jason: Wha-!? Y-You! Stop! What are you doing!? Aaah! No! My body is melting!
Fou: Fouuu! Fouuuu!
Medea Lily: O Holy Grail. O ultimate vessel granting my desires. Manifest. Remember. You are one of the 72 Demon Gods.
Jason: Arggh, ack, aieeeeeeee!
Medea Lily: –I shall give you the strength to fight. I shall give you the strength to rise up.
Medea Lily: Let us fight together for the sake of destruction.
Medea Lily: Now then, rank number 30. Sea Fiend Forneus. Use that power to put an end to your journey!
Dr. Roman: A Demon God! This is the second one of those things, I mean deities, we've seen! Something like that really exists?
Mash: !!!
David: This is a surprise...What did she just say?
David: Rank number 30, "Forneus!? "She's talking about Solomon's Demon Gods!
Atalante: Will we–Be able to defeat it?
Drake: I hit it! All right, if it can be hit, it can be defeated!
Drake: Mash, this is truly the final battle! Come, get a hold of yourself!
Drake: You came all this way to slay that thing, didn't you? So hold your head up high!
Drake: This is it! The final battle! Be brave and laugh your fears away!
Drake: Say, "I have no use for a monster! Just give me a pretty crown! "
Pirate: Whoaaaa!? We...We just heard somethin' awfully rare, yeah!?
Pirate: Did Boss just say a seriously feminine line!?
Drake: Shut up you fools, go hide in your cabins! This isn't something you can handle!
Drake: A-Anyway, Mash, just do it! And forget what I just said!
Drake: If you keep hesitating, I am going to take that second Holy Grail for myself!
Mash: —Captain Drake.
Mash: ...Yes, understood! Master, visual confirmation of the final enemy of this era!
Mash: Commencing correction–!
Fujimaru 1: Let's go, Mash!
Fujimaru 2: We're gonna win, Mash!
Mash: Yes!
--BATTLE--
Mash: ...We got it, Master!
Fujimaru 1: All right!
Fujimaru 2: Are you okay?
Mash: Yes!
Jason: Oh...ah...ugh...Medea, Medea, Medea...
Medea Lily: –Yes, Jason. Is something wrong?
Jason: ...Fix me, my Medea. It hurts, it hurts, it really hurts!
Medea Lily: ...
Jason: What are you doing you slowpoke? I said, fix me.
Medea Lily: –I can't do that, Jason. I'm sorry.
Jason: ...Huh?
Medea Lily: I will be falling soon myself. It's such a pity. Originally, the world would've sunk with you.
Jason: ...Why you, just as I thought...
Medea Lily: Although it has nothing to do with me,but it's true that I did know you.
Medea Lily: Even as we speak,the memories of Princess Medea are coming back to me.
Medea Lily: Even if she was betrayed, even if she was cursed at,even if she'd been deceived from the very start.
Medea Lily: She truly, truly adored her Lord Jason. You had been given divine power, yet–
Medea Lily: You were endlessly innocent. Like a child excited over receiving a paltry treasure.
Medea Lily: You were hopelessly cruel, and completely innocent. Despite being weak, you attracted others and inspired loyalty.
Medea Lily: That's who you were, Jason. That was her first love.
Medea Lily: But you were quick to betray everything. That's the only way you knew how to live.
Medea Lily: If so—isn't it easier to sink along with the world,so that you won't be betrayed?
Medea Lily: You were never—supposed to return to your land.
Jason: Damn...witch! ...You treacherous...damned witch!
Jason: Die! Die! Go to hell! Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT–!
Medea Lily: ...I'm sorry, Lord Jason.
Medea Lily: I wanted to protect you from him,but I had no way of doing so.
Medea Lily: I don't have much time left...I only wish I could have dreamed a beautiful dream in my final moments...
Dr. Roman: Medea's about to vanish...No, before she does! Fujimaru, you have to ask her!
Fujimaru 1: Who's behind all this?
Fujimaru 2: Were you allies with Lev, too?
Medea Lily: ...I'm no longer at liberty to tell you that,since I have lost to him as a mage.
Dr. Roman: Princess Medea the mage,not the Servant, was defeated?
Dr. Roman: In other words—
Medea Lily: Yes. Please be sure to prepare yourselves,newest and last mages from a distant era.
Medea Lily: You don't stand a chance against him. As mages, you have no prayer of defeating him.
Medea Lily: So—go gather stars. Numerous dazzling stars.
Medea Lily: Stars that can rise against the greed and beast hidden within man's heart. Stars that can remain bright even within a storm and light up the sky—
Mash: Elimination confirmed. Holy Grail collection complete.
Mash: No enemies left. End combat actions.
Mash: Era correction–complete.
Drake: The wind has stopped blowing...Ah, this is the end. There is nothing that can be done.
Drake: This sea will end soon. But not anything like the giant whirlpool earlier.
Drake: This is a good ending. It's a new birth—Our sea is coming back to us!
Pirate: Heee—eey! It's goodbye to this damn weird sea–!
Pirate: We did it, men! Can's say I won't miss it, though! After all, these waters were full of adventure!
Pirate: Hey, we're vanishin', one after another! Guess that's how life works, the rank and file exit first!
Pirate: Mash and Fujimaru, see ya! Thanks for helpin' the captain!
Pirate: We'll get hanged sooner or later, but you're good folk! Let this be a lesson! Never keep the company of pirates!
Mash: Everyone...
Artemis: Haaaa! We can finally go home!
Artemis: Come on, Orion! A new journey of love awaits!
Orion: This is supposed to be a nice goodbye scene. Don't you want to look cool?
Orion: Oh, forget it. I'm tired.
Orion: Well, I hope we can meet again with me in a different form! Farewell!
Orion: Oh, and Mash. How about a kiss goodbye for good measure?
Orion: No? Oh, okay.
Artemis: Darling, how about a "goodbye" from me?
Orion: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Euryale: And so our roles are played out now. Oh, what a terrible time.
Euryale: Without "me" or my "loser sister" around,it's dreadfully boring.
Euryale: ...Although I would like to meet HIM again someday.
Euryale: I'll have to call him by name, and make fun of that embarrassing confession of love.
Euryale: Oh, that's right. Fujimaru, you did well, too. As a final reward, I'll give you a little kiss.
Euryale: Get down on your knees. Here–(smooch. )
Mash: Wha!?
Euryale: Well, safe travels. Make your next struggle as merry as this one.
Mash: ...
Atalante: ...Whew. I'm happy I was of service this time. I didn't want to be defeated like last time.
Atalante: That said, I haven't really shown what I can do yet. So please call on me again sometime.
Atalante: Still...From now on, how should I go about honoring Lady Artemis?
David: Well, it's about that time.
David: It seems you have various struggles ahead,but do your best without being discouraged.
David: With two humans, a quarrel ensues. 100 will create competition, 1000 will cause confrontation.
David: That holds true no matter what era. You should fight your own battle.
Mash: Please, wait. You knew about the 72 Demon Gods.
Mash: Was that...Um, really a Demon God? The doctor claims they don't exist...
David: Oh? Did I say as much? Why would you think so?
Mash: ...Well, naturally. You're King David of Israel.
Mash: You are the father of King Solomon,who is said to have summoned the 72 Demon Gods.
Fou: Fou!
David: Hmm. It's true Solomon is my son...But summoning spells are beyond my capabilities.
Dr. Roman: ...How utterly useless...
David: Ah, how rude. But what about yourself?
David: It seems you said that Demon God was no Demon God. On what grounds?
Dr. Roman: W-Well, that's—That wasn't exactly my image of one, or...
Da Vinci: Ahahaha. Roman is a fan of King Solomon. I hear he's been an admirer for a long time?
Dr. Roman: Hey, Leonardo! That was a secret! A secret!
Da Vinci: That's why you don't accept the Demon Gods, isn't it? You don't want to believe your idol messed with such disgusting things.
Dr. Roman: Ugh...Right, you're correct! The 72 Demon Gods signify both the beginning and the pinnacle of summoning spells!
Dr. Roman: They couldn't be foul creatures like that! I mean, he's King Solomon, you know!?
Dr. Roman: He's the king who held the omnipotent Ten Rings, built the First Temple in Jerusalem, and made Israel prosperous!
Dr. Roman: How could someone like that command such monsters, or even worse, plot...plot the destruction of humanity!?
Da Vinci: There you go. As his father, what do you think, King David? Does King Solomon have a connection to that Demon God?
David: Mm, Solomon would do things like that, you know? Basically, he's a cruel, vulgar good-for-nothing.
Dr. Roman: What? How terrible! I can't believe anything anymore!
David: Hahaha. My apologies. It's my fault for not having much to do with Solomon. I was never interested in child-rearing.
David: But certainly—though he was a fool, he was honest.
David: As for destroying human history, well...
David: I don't think he'd consider it unless he was betrayed by all ten of his secret lovers?
Mash: In its own way, that makes his image even worse.
Fou: Fou.
Dr. Roman: Just how bad is the public's image of King Solomon!?
David: Well, I must be going. I leave the rest to you,but if anything happens, don't hesitate to call on me.
Dr. Roman: ...Right. So we still don't have any definite information about the Demon Gods yet.
Dr. Roman: But—King Solomon is involved,and that's the ugly truth...
Mash: Doctor?
Dr. Roman: Oh no, never mind. Now, Captain Francis Drake.
Dr. Roman: Thank you very much. With so many special cases this time, I wasn't really much help.
Dr. Roman: Lucky we had a dependable voyager like you on site. Thanks to that, history has been successfully corrected.
Drake: Oh, it was nothing. I couldn't do much in the end.
Drake: Ahhh...If I could become one of those Servants too,I'd be a little flashier.
Drake: But I suppose that's an impossible request. A pirate like me could never be treated like a hero.
Fujimaru 1: That's not true.
Fujimaru 2: You're already a fine hero, Captain.
Drake: Really? Since that's coming from you, I'll believe half of it.
Drake: So if history is corrected, will I really lose my memories of all of you?
Fujimaru 1: ...
Fujimaru 2: That's what happens.
Drake: Hahaha. Well, you don't have to say a word. That look on your face says everything.
Drake: I see. Guess I can't sail around the world with you folks. A pity.
Drake: But that's fine. Our time together was short, but it was a merry journey.
Drake: So go. For seafarers, parting is always abrupt.
Drake: Blown up by a cannonball, washed away by a wave,and ultimately lose sight of our destination and die.
Drake: That's why we take those fears–and always "brush them off" with a laugh.
Mash: Yes, goodbye,Captain who navigates across the seas of freedom.
Mash: ...It's too bad. During this journey, I wanted to discover my wish and report it to you, Captain.
Drake: Mm? What we talked about before? How you're troublesome because you have no wishes?
Drake: It bothered you that much? Don't be silly. Or rather—
Drake: You already have a wish, Mash. You know very well what you want to do.
Mash: Huh?
Mash: Captain Drake, what do you mean...
Drake: Saying you have no wish is wrong. In the first place, nobody is without greed.
Drake: All humans have some kind of wish. You can't live without one.
Drake: The only difference is living while knowing what it is,or spending your whole life not realizing it.
Drake: ...Same with that Jason guy. Even he had a dream of "creating a utopia. "
Drake: His homeland banished him, and didn't save him. I don't know if he did all this to prove them wrong.
Drake: Still,he wanted his nation to be a peaceful one.
Drake: The man was obsessed with the desire to rule,and at the very end, he arrived at his true wish.
Mash: ...Yes. Jason's actions and behaviors were reprehensible.
Mash: But—surprisingly, he was thinking of the people. Though selfish, he was trying to protect others.
Drake: Aye. Sometimes sinners do saintly deeds, while saints sin. That's humans for you. That's us.
Drake: That's why everyone's got a wish.
Drake: It's just that some go their whole lives without realizing what their true wishes are.
Mash: ...Captain Drake. Which type am I?
Drake: You...You're the type that's better off not realizing. You should stay just the way you are.
Drake: I'm sure you'll know in the end.
Drake: You'll realize what you want to do, and why you continue to raise that shield to defend others.
Drake: I'm the opposite, I already know. The sooner you know,the uglier the punchline ends up being...
Mash: ...Captain Drake. Are you, um...From now on, your life...
Drake: It's fine. You needn't state the obvious. I know how it ends for me. I die, right?
Drake: Life is interesting once you know you're going to die. No, because you will die, you want to live in the moment.
Drake: I'm not really a fiend for treasure. What I want is money, and pleasure.
Drake: We're gonna die eventually! So I want to enjoy every single moment while I can.
Drake: Thanks to you, I now know how vast the world is. It's a never-ending journey, even if I go all out.
Drake: I'd be satisfied to take just a little of that,and blaze one of the many trails available.
Drake: How blessed, how inconvenient, and how it would be just like what I wished an ending to be.
Drake: So never mind. Don't worry yourself over my dying days.
Drake: Farewell, Mash and Fujimaru. You too, cowardly scholar guy!
Drake: The reward for saving an era...Let's see—
Drake: When your journey ends, just remember how much fun you had with me! That'll be enough!
Fujimaru 1: Will do. Farewell, Captain!
Fujimaru 2: Bon voyage!
Dr. Roman: Welcome home. Good job, Fujimaru and Mash.
Dr. Roman: This makes three eliminated Singularities. Protecting human history...That mission is no longer just a pipe dream.
Dr. Roman: I'll look into that Demon God on my end. For the time being, I'll focus on King Solomon's era.
Dr. Roman: I'll use Chaldeas and Sheba to observe the Earth of 1000 BC.
Mash: ...Are you sure?
Mash: Sheba's range is the Christian Era. Go back further than that and you lose accuracy.
Mash: Plus, it would require vast amounts of magical energy and electricity. Chaldea's current reserves aren't that—
Dr. Roman: With my pride on the line, I'll take care of that somehow. As for magical energy, I might know someone who can help.
Mash: Really? I thought chances for outside help were nonexistent?
Fou: Fooou!
Dr. Roman: Huh? Oh yeah, sorry. I had the wrong idea. I'll get by somehow with Da Vinci's stash.
Dr. Roman: Anyway, you two need to unwind. Next up is the fourth Singularity—the turnaround point.
Dr. Roman: France, Rome, and the sea. Each time, the number of irregularities has been increasing.
Dr. Roman: Maybe with the next Singularity,the real target will come.
Dr. Roman: That's why I want you to rest up. We've got some time until the next Rayshift.
Fou: Fooou!
Mash: Good job, Senpai. You did your best too, Fou.
Fou: Ky, kyuuuu!
Mash: ...By the way, Senpai. Did you want to sail around the world with Drake?
Fujimaru 1: A little.
Mash: Me too.
Mash: The captain was larger than life,but overflowed with charm.
Fujimaru 2: Let's go after this is over.
Mash: After our battle is over?
Mash: ...Yes. Not a trip via Rayshift, but a journey in this era.
Mash: I want to enjoy a world in which the future isn't decided yet, just like Captain Drake.
Mash: ...Senpai. I think this recent search for the Holy Grail was the most special case so far.
Mash: The process solely was to head somewhere. It was a battle on a seemingly endless sea.
Mash: Along the way, I think I learned something.
Mash: Good and bad people alike contribute to human history. Human diversity and contradictions. Expectations, too.
Mash: ...Humans are brutal creatures. They use wisdom and gain power for their own desires and objectives.
Mash: That is a truly brutal trait. You could say that they are the most powerful and barbaric organisms on the planet.
Mash: But there's hope in that brutality...The hope of realizing what couldn't be realized.
Mash: The power not to let the impossible remain impossible. This power, this hope, she taught us that is what makes us human.
Mash: ...I don't know if I have such a power. But, I'd like to get as close as I can.
Mash: So I can keep fighting by your side, Senpai. To become a Servant that you can be proud of someday.
Mash: Now, then, Senpai, Fou, sweet dreams. We're on dry land for the first time in a long while.
Mash: We don't have to worry about getting seasick anymore. Please have nice and long rest.
