01x06 - The Wandering King's Rock'n'Roll

[bunniefuu]

We can go home soon!

I wanna get home! I wanna get home soon!

Ah!

To Snowfield!!

This is

definitely beyond the confines

of ordinary Magecraft.

Cavalryman Rider?

Such thrilling music!

It was truly a wonderful experience!

All right!

First and foremost,

let's form an alliance with someone!

So, you won't be going there?

Due to the events from a previous Holy Grail w*r,

a Lord is not allowed onsite.

That's what the Clock Tower decided.

You have some new information?

Yes.

I thought you should be

the first person to know.

Baleman.

S-Several hours ago,

a certain indie band uploaded this video.

First the news, now video streaming.

Look! Right here!

Sajyou?

What's wrong, Ayaka?

Nothing.

You have an uneasy look on your face.

If there's something worrying you,

don't hesitate to tell me.

I said it's fine.

Oh, perhaps you're tired?

You weren't able to sleep

at the music club, either.

Jeez!

I have nothing but uncertainties!

Isn't there another Master

hiding here or something?

Right! This Magical Energy enveloping

the entire forest is almost like a bounded field!

What if, maybe, they attack us?

If they felt so inclined,

they would have done it long ago!

How can you have so much faith?

Huh?

I can't see Saber anymore!

Why did that weird Saber show up

instead of Altry?

What did you use as the catalyst?

They said the sheath

for the legendary sword was gone

so I used the box that it was sealed in.

I totally thought we'd

be able to summon Altry!

Jeez!

This forest is annoying!

Hello!

What have you come to me for?

I don't know what kind of being you are

but I wanted to make a request

to the first Servant I came across!

Huh? Servant?

Do you have any interest

in forming an alliance with us?

I don't mind

but will my Master gain

anything from that?

I'd like to talk to your Master, as well.

Are they not here with you? Huh?

What a wonderful Master.

They're not particularly fond of humans.

But your Master seems to be an exception.

Perhaps because she's

not much like a Master.

Well, actually she's not a Master at all.

Let's get back on topic.

I saw a monster last night.

This Holy Grail w*r

has either gotten roped into some tremendous

trouble, or it's being used for something.

In either case, why don't we

eliminate them together and start clean?

The way things are going now,

if I were to lose, I can't say Ayaka will be safe

even if she evacuates to the Church.

You seem to cherish your

Master quite a bit.

She got roped into this because of me.

If I didn't take

responsibility for that

the people who inherited

lineage of my clan

and

the name of the great first king

will be tarnished.

Interesting.

You surely are a king yourself,

but of a different type than the king I know.

Especially the part that you seem to have

an exceptional number of friends.

Is that so? I'd think

you have more friends than I do.

I believe that anything

living on this earth is a friend.

Although my feelings are

often unreciprocated.

But a close friend that I can disclose

what goes on in my heart to

That, I decided will be just one person.

Woah, come now. Is this

negotiation a failure?

Or is it

That close friend is quite a fussy guy.

If you're weak, you'd just be k*lled.

I'd like to test whether or not

you can fight against him.

I love things that are easy to understand.

I basically have to

prove my strength, right?

H-Hold on! What are you guys—

Don't worry, Ayaka.

This is just a trial to form an alliance.

Now

let's start this battle!

Hey, Brother!

That Saber sword arrived.

This isn't a Noble Phantasm or anything.

It's just a decorated sword.

But he supposedly destroyed the Opera House

with a single strike from that sword.

A knight with red streaks

in his blond hair

This is most likely Lionheart.

Yeah, that Lionheart.

I see, you conclude so, as well?

Yeah. Lionheart was a

total King Arthur freak.

Some say he pretended to live a fast life, but in reality,

went on to search around for King Arthur's fortune.

However, isn't he a hero from an era

where the Mystics have relatively thinned out?

Hey, Brother.

Lionheart was called the "Wandering King"

in my era, ya know.

Indeed, it's said the time he stayed within his country

during his 10-year reign was less than one year.

That's not what I mean!

I'm talking about the border

between mythology and history.

He's part of both eras

and the final king from a time when Mystics like

Elementals and Rune Magecraft still openly endured.

Loxley!

You're quick. Is that

physical strengthening Magecraft?

It's not mine, though.

Did you

take lessons in fistfighting?

It's a combination of techniques I saw earlier

in what they call "movies"

along with my combat style!

Such mobility despite that. Amazing.

I'll be a bit more serious

as a Lancer-class.

I'm Saber!

Nice to meet you!

I guess making do

with shallow knowledge won't work.

From here, as a Saber-class

I shall use my sword!

I've always wanted to do this once.

Mimicking the Knight of the Lake who defeated

his enemies with a branch he picked up

saying, "A knight does

not die empty-handed."

Hey Brother, let me tell

you an interesting tale!

Just how crazy he was for King Arthur

Things got so bad that he named

everything he owned after that sacred sword.

His sword, of course, but also a knife,

parchment, even a stick that was lying about.

This sword is

a road to glory, seeking a miracle!

A crystallization of

faith honoring that will!

Sadly enough, the noble dream

leads to the ends unhindered by anyone!

Engraved once again

this sword is the one and only

Ex

calibur!

Come on now.

That looks useful for cracking walnuts.

This much power with a tree branch, huh?

Do I pass the test?

It seems you haven't unleashed

even half of your strength.

You are strong.

Though I don't know

what my friend would say.

Ayaka! We have safely formed an alliance!

Safely?

You guys were trying to k*ll each other.

Well, there are trials out in the world

that you risk your life for.

Give me a break!

Please don't be angry at him.

He was being reckless for your sake.

You know do people say

you're terrible at reading the room?

The gods often said so.

Like when I defeated a bull.

Defeated a bull?

Can you tell me that story in detail?

What kind of bull? How and what did you—

Ow!

Please stop, Ayaka!

Ouch! Ouch!

It was my fault!

Why would you do something like that?

Why, you ask?

I understand that you're trying

to do something for someone like me

but

I didn't ask you to do that!

I told you, right?

I'm going to look after you on my own will.

If you need Magical Energy, you can use

Magecraft or whatever and turn me into a puppet!

But you trusted

someone like me.

I appreciate what you did. I do. But

I'm not worthy of something like that.

I don't deserve to be

protected by someone

or to be trusted.

Hey, do you know about Little Red Riding Hood

of the Semina Apartments?

A married couple and a girl

moved in next to Mr. A.

The girl was being abused

and always hid her wounds with a red hood.

That girl had been asking Mr. A

at the elevator

"Hey, can you push the button?"

One day, that family

attempted m*rder-suicide.

The girl sought help, but Mr. A ignored her,

thinking it had nothing to do with him.

From the day the girl went missing, the sound

of someone knocking on the door echoed around.

When Mr. A finally opened that door

Hey, can you push the button?

"HEY, CAN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON?"

I heard that's based on an incident

that actually happened.

What happened in the end again?

Didn't they end up missing?

STOP

STOP

I've heard an ending that they fled overseas.

I've heard an ending

that they fled overseas.

Maybe they're still running away

from Little Red Riding Hood to this day!

You're being so kind to me like this

but I'm sure I'll betray others again.

I might sell you to the

enemy and flee by myself!

You might sell me to the enemy?

Ayaka, you really do worry

about the little things.

Little things?

It happens often.

I was almost sold off to Rome

by my own little brother.

That has nothing to do with me!

It does involve you!

I have lived a life where it's no longer

a surprise for anyone to betray me.

Can it be

that you have mistaken me for a good man?

I don't know.

Besides, what you have done doesn't

w*r.

That was all I could do.

People forming an alliance with us

shouldn't be making such solemn faces.

If you'd like, have some, too.

Wh-Why is she here?

You lot

will defeat the monster?

If it harms people!

Lionheart, I have heard about you.

How you fought such monsters

together with one of our leaders. And

what a terrifying man you used to be.

My objective differs from you.

However, I must defeat that monster first.

Then, it's a temporary ceasefire.

Actually, there is a monster

I want to rid from this city, as well.

The monster you speak of seems

even more troublesome than Dead Apostles.

That's not necessarily true.

For now, it's just a black curse

and a dark brown clump of mud.

If those two fused together

and seeped into the Holy Grail

this planet itself might be

in a little bit of danger.

It seems my friend has found

a good partner to warm up with.

Tiné, work up plenty of

Magical Energy for now.

Even I can't imagine just how much

I will be spending from hereon out.

Please use your powers

as much as you wish.

Even if my body were to perish.

Don't speak of such nonsense.

If you are worried

that the cavalry girl made light of you

that is called "audacity."

No matter your resolve, when faced

with a powerful opponent, a child is still a child.

However

I am the leader of the

guardians of this land.

I obtained my power by sacrificing the lives

of my 12 elder brothers and nine elder sisters

as well as my own body.

This life exists only to regain Snowfield,

which is the earnest wish of my clan.

When opposing a proud warrior, they will respect

and fight you regardless of age or appearance.

However, though you may have gathered your resolve,

I can't quite say you are a proud one yet.

Those who lack self-esteem

will lack it even in old age.

Self-esteem, you say?

On that point, you are fortunate!

Even if temporary, you

are one of my subjects.

In a few days, the fact that you were able to sear

my glory into memory will be something to be proud of!

Yes!

There's no doubt about it.

Her hair color is different,

but that is Ayaka Sajyou.

I informed you the other day, right?

That someone who is on-site

has seen one of your apprentices, Lord.

And by that, you didn't mean Flat?

We meant her.

It's true that Sajyou was a part

of my class for about a month.

No

it's faster to confirm

it with her directly.

Let's confirm the directive!

For now, we will form an alliance

until the three threats have been dealt with.

Is that fine?

Right.

My top priority is still the safety of my Master,

so I can't move out of this forest just yet.

Then I would like to find

a base with some bedding.

For that, I know of a place.

The spot where I was summoned.

Oh!

Ayaka should be able to rest here!

Phew, I'm so glad! Rest is important!

Saber You know

Someone's here.

What?

Ayaka! Head to a place where you can hide!

Huh? H-Hold on!

Run for it!

If you stay here—

Why do you stop me?

This guy told Ayaka to run for it.

We might be able to talk it out with him, right?

I'm a Saber-class Servant.

Nice meeting you!

For now

can you listen to what we have to say?

This over here is my

Master well, not quite.

Huh?

Ayaka?

Are you going to seriously look for it?

This so-called fortune of King Arthur?

Of course!

As long as I find something,

I don't care what.

It would be the best

if that was Excalibur!

Hey there, amusing, pleasant folks!

You jumped right into the trap

I set up without any doubt!

My utmost respect for you lot

who came all the way here!

Who are you?

Thank you for asking!

My name is Saint Germain.

I am your guide, your advisor

your prophet

and a simple con man.

Amusing.

What kind of fantasy will

you deceive me with?

My hat's off to the great future king.

However, I am not the

one who will deceive you.

Faced with the numerous Mystics

that created King Arthur

you will attempt to deceive yourself.

My eternal regards to the you

within the depths of your eyes, as well.

You're finally up.

Do you hurt anywhere?

Saber, do you like King Arthur?

Ayaka, are you also a fan of King Arthur?

I think King Arthur's great, too!

That's not what I meant.

Oh, I see.

It's not dawn yet. You

should rest a bit more.

You know

sorry about earlier.

Was there something

you need to apologize for?

Well how I yelled, pulled your hair, shoved

my selfishness at you all sorts of stuff.

Such trivial things.

No, I should apologize, too.

I didn't think about your feelings and revealed my

name without permission and asked for an alliance.

You don't need to apologize about that!

Whatever you do, I won't say

it's none of your business anymore.

But, at the least, tell me

if you're doing something dangerous.

I'd like to at least try to stop you.

And I'd be troubled if you died on your own

and I couldn't tell you "Thank you."

Right. I have always troubled someone.

I don't know your "always."

And that's not what I mean.

This is me being selfish, too.

All good?

Who is it?

My husband is acting weird!

He's saying how he's not going to leave the city!

Oh? I thought you already clocked out.

I'm sorry. I forgot something!

I see. Be careful.

All sorts of things are happening lately.

But good things have happened, too.

Tsubaki's condition is very stable today.

I'm worried about that scar on her hand

that looks like a tattoo, though.

Oh?

Mr. Jack

This was the source of

the black fog after all.

Yes. Now I can feel it for myself.

You are a superb Mage.

But I think we should

head back for now.

It was a fog up until now,

but that's a waterfall.

It's in a different league!

Why don't we use a b*mb

on the entire hospital—

Y-You can't do something like that!

We don't even know

if that Master is friend or foe!

Right.

Let's reorganize for now.

Okay!

If I went through with it

I would no longer be a m*rder*r

but something else.

Just now, someone

no

something visited.
