01x05 - Stars' Banquet

[bunniefuu]

You, dear. Listen closely.

What you need to eradicate are the ones

who are trying to plunder from us.

You, dear. That's why you shall fight.

So that you can take your

mother back someday.

You're missing quite

a lot deep down there.

Let me tell you something interesting.

Those spellcasters that were repeatedly

calling you guys "You, dear"

They all died, okay?

Oh, and about your mother.

She's long since died in

a country called Japan.

Let me tell you once again.

This operation is to recreate

a Magecraft ritual

We fished up six Masters and their Servants

using a fake Holy Grail w*r as the lure.

We will use them as

catalysts to officially

summon seven Servants, and the real

As a Master of the True Holy Grail w*r

I will have you summon a Servant.

If the summon succeeds—

You don't have to report

to me what showed up!

You can do whatever you want

after it's summoned, too!

If anything, you can even consider

coming after my life!

Please make sure to report to me.

And this has nothing to

do with the job, but

What will you wish upon the Holy Grail?

I don't have any wishes.

I don't have a god to believe in

or a homeland to return to.

All I desire are meals

and good sleep each day.

I didn't expect the favorite

that you kept talking about

to be a boy like him.

Oh, right. He looks like

a boy because they fiddled

with his body too much when he was young.

He probably can't live that long a life.

Though, he's not the type

to worry about stuff like that.

Is that the reason why you didn't prepare

a catalyst for him?

I had a lightbulb moment.

If I made a fake Holy Grail choose

a Servant for someone who has nothing

what exactly

would be drawn to it?

So, you're a Master of the Holy Grail w*r?

Hah!

How this face lacks ambition.

I am indeed the Master who summoned you.

You can call me "Captain."

But that will soon become meaningless.

Who exactly are you?

My boy, you have a misunderstanding.

We were not

summoned by you.

Who are you?

We are nothing more than shadows

of the Heroic Spirit you summoned.

We are not Heroic Spirits.

You're outta luck, man.

You can't escape now.

You have summoned a hardship

that has no way out.

However

we have high hopes for you.

That you will become a Lancer

that pierces through all.

What do you mean?

Are you lot not the Lancer?

If Fuyuki's system was used as is,

Lancer would have been the

one rightfully summoned.

Then, what in the world

Let's see.

A guardian whose job is to always look

down on us from a high place

I guess you could say "Watcher."

Hurry up already!

Mr. Cordelion?

Bazdilot!

What are you doing

to a member of the family?

A fly.

Wait—

If you thought you could infiltrate

with a disguise like that

that's a great insult to Mr. Scradio.

I received a catalyst from the States.

I will summon a Servant.

Bazdilot Cordelion.

His public face is the president

of an industrial waste disposal company.

His hidden side is a high-ranking member

of the Scradio Family,

a huge mafia group

that is very close

to a portion of the government.

There are over 125 murders

that he is suspected of involvement.

During his first incarceration,

three wardens and 26 inmates

went missing in six months.

He painted the entire penitentiary

into allies of the Scradio Family.

I am still against it.

Taking someone

with so many enemies out of jail

to weave him into the Holy Grail w*r.

You say that, but all the Masters I called

are kinda similar, you know!

The Masters can all be controlled

however we wish.

But

you and Bazdilot Cordelion

are a different story.

Hey, what do you think will happen?

I mean, he's trying to summon

the great virtuous, unyielding hero

Heracles!

Are you the one

that will become my master

and present me a labor?

The one who decides that

isn't me. That's you.

And I shall ask you, as well.

O hero of Greece.

Are you

testing me?

If you speak of such

knowing my background

I will deem those words

as something you risk your life for.

Of course.

I have already

thrown my life away long ago.

How facile.

Restraints from Command Spells

are meaningless to me.

Drop your facade.

b*stard!

What did you

I don't need a hero.

I need human obsession that uses

any means necessary to meet an objective.

Impossible!

This is not a level of Magical Energy

that someone of this era can harbor!

I further order you with

another Command Spell.

Remember all the humans you have observed.

Wh-What's going on?

I further command you.

Was it really all right?

I mean, to hand him that thing

you brought here from Fuyuki.

It's fine, it's fine!

I mean

I didn't want to keep touching

How does it feel

to get rid of what is unnecessary?

Why do you hide your face?

Admonition.

So that the sins of man

never reach my eyes again.

I ask you.

Are you my Servant?

My name is Alcides.

I will have my vengeance

against the gods

and using the power of the Holy Grail

I will rid myself

Ridiculous.

But tell me. What is the source

of your Magical Energy?

Even after such a fierce battle,

I did not feel it ever flicker.

That is not the Magical Energy level

of an ordinary Mage.

It's quite simple.

I am using batteries.

In the past

and built upon it.

A Magical Energy forge

that runs on human lives, huh?

With this much, I'll

have no issues fighting

at full throttle for about half a day.

Half a day with this much?

Then

you should be able to continue fighting

with all you've got for several months.

How many humans have you sacrificed

to this contraption until now?

just 24,976 people.

Surprising you were able

to keep it a secret.

Of course.

It is all thanks to my lord

Galvarosso Scradio's connections.

The bigger the Scradio Family gets,

the more enemies we have.

If we have to eradicate them anyway

we should make good use of them.

I appreciate that you

stopped their squabbles

but we'll be in trouble

if you don't hold your reins properly.

I hear you have been erased by the Agency

twice or so in the past.

I cannot understand it.

Why the government decided

to join forces with you

even if it has been several decades

or you, who has the nerve

to join forces with a government

that tried to eradicate

your very existence.

She'll k*ll you if you

say that to her face.

Is that why you became

interested in eternal youth?

I have no intention

of putting up with your hedonism.

If necessary, I will forcefully have you

exit the stage.

I know that.

I have never once thought

that you were on our side.

Jeez!

Faldeus should enjoy the w*r more.

We have so many actors

that shine on the stage after all!

Hey, don't you think so?

Isn't this where you welcome me

with a "Welcome home, master!"?

I did some work immediately

after being summoned, you know.

But

I'm the master here!

And that was nothing

more than a performance

to make the States feel relieved.

But still, it wasn't all

that bad a show, right?

Yep! I gotta hand it to me!

Oh, but I wanted to see it in person

the angry face of the King of Heroes!

Now, now, this is just the beginning, me!

I, François Prelati

in pure, righteous glory

- in pure, righteous glory

swear to win and acquire

- swear to win and acquire

the great Holy Grail!

- the great Holy Grail!

Just kidding!

- Just kidding!

In other words, you lot can objectively

observe the Holy Grail w*r?

To be precise, not us,

but the one you summoned.

I don't get it.

Is this what you call an "Extra Class"?

And what do you mean

I'm going to become Lancer?

I got some sleep and thought

it over once again,

but it's not making sense to me.

I think you're quite something

to be able to sleep

and even eat in this condition.

Sleep and meals are more

important than anything.

We are slightly different

from those Extra Class folks.

Didn't I tell you?

You're the one who will become Lancer.

Watcher is the barrier and watchtower

for that to happen.

Isn't it absurd to say

that a human will become Lancer?

What is absurd is this

Holy Grail w*r itself.

It has derailed all too far.

Those that normally would not be summoned

are calling for each other

and more will be drawn over to this land.

Tsubaki

It's all right.

I will never abandon you.

Is this a tattoo?

Was this here before?

Did you pull this bird out, as well?

Thank you! I love animals!

Love!

You know, Mr. Black

nobody will disappear anymore, right?

Nobody will disappear anymore, right?

Oh, yes! I'm sorry!

Yes. Thank you so much.

Goodbye.

Professor wasted two hours of his time

because of me.

I see the reason why you admire

your mentor so much.

He is a magnificent

instructor of Magecraft.

Taking into account the tale that

he survived a Holy Grail w*r,

he must also be top-notch as a Mage.

Of course! Professor has solved

all sorts of cases for the Clock Tower—

What's wrong, Master?

The fog is rather thick.

What are you talking about?

There isn't any fog anywhere—

Mr. Berserker, we might

be in a bit of trouble.

This fog has at least

swallowed up the entire city.

What will happen to me now?

From hereon out,

an assortment of difficulties you may

call "trials" will stand in your way.

By overcoming them,

you will slowly become someone.

I am a mere soldier with no name.

I will not amount to "a somebody,"

even to death.

We'll see about that.

That just means that you

can become anything.

Escape the jaws of death, young man.

Rage against God.

Never submit.

Beyond all that

is where the proof of your life will be.

See

Are you a Mage seeking the Holy Grail?

Are you

a Servant?

Answer my question.

Hold on. I have no hostile intent.

Can you allow me

to negotiate with your Master?

Jump.

You have some hair coming your way.

That's not a Master.

That's a poor little girl

who got roped into the Holy Grail w*r.

Get away!

If you stay here
