01x13 - This Illusion Becomes Reality

[bunniefuu]

Oh, I guess it's nice to meet you!

King Lionheart...

and I don't really get it,
but the girl with amazing Magical Energy!

Why is your umbrella
open inside a building?

I think that's the least of our concerns.

I'm glad you asked!

The answer is simple. It's because...

it's going to rain in here momentarily!

This is...

Another irritating pest!

You worried about that police squad?

You guys were at each other's necks,
too, you know.

I won't let you do as you please!

That's all!

No, that's not quite true!

You learned they were trying
to save Tsubaki Kuruoka...

and that's when you started
respecting them, right?

I know everything about y—

However, Mages are the
epitome of rationalists.

Ultimately, they will choose
the path to k*ll Tsubaki Kuruoka.

Ah, perhaps the one
that will end that girl's life will be...

A hero who protects humanity
would choose that path without a doubt!

Because sacrificing one little girl
will give salvation to everyone else!

I'm Francesca.

And this is François.

If I said we're the True Caster faction,

bookies and troublemakers
for this Holy Grail w*r...

would you get the gist of things?

I don't get it at all,
but thanks for helping us out!

No need for thanks!

Because we came here to sully you.

Hmm?

Changed quite a bit, have you?

Did King Lionheart drag you along
and make you stronger, as well?

Or...

are you a fox that feels big
because you're next to someone strong?

What are you talking about?

Ayaka has been strong from the beginning!

She does have sharp eyes like a fox,
but she isn't one to wheedle other people!

Great! You really are great!

You really are one who
goes with the moment.

Ayaka, was it?

You have come across a great king!

That's why we have to apologize
right now, you see!

Sorry, sorry!

For now, we're gonna be trampling a bit...

upon this king's admiration!

This is...

No way!

How...

This is...

where I was before...
the castle in Fuyuki!

Was that a chariot just now?

Bulls clad in lightning...

It can't be!

H-Huh?

You're kidding me!

I had heard the real deal
was a massive figure, but...

Who is that?

Philia?

No.

Something is different.

Is this... a dream?

Huh?

Oh my goodness.

Is that someone you know?

No, this is a first for my eyes.

There are two reasons
why I am standing here, not kneeling.

One is because I am a
king, even if imperfect.

Huh? Wh-What are you talking about?

The other is...

to burn this legend

I chased my entire life
into my memory as long as possible!

King Arthur?

That's correct!

What you're seeing is a part of the Fourth
Holy Grail w*r that happened in Fuyuki...

almost 15 years ago!

Luckily, I was able to see the place
where three kings gathered!

In order to...

grant salvation to the people...

a king sacrifices himself
to the path of a righteous ideal.

I would wish upon the Holy Grail
to return to the sword of selection,

and if there were to be someone
more fit to be a king than I...

yield my history to them...

so that Britain can gain a new start.

Sacrificing all for righteousness
and discarding everything about yourself?

That is not how a person should live.

King of Conquerors...

How can you declare
that a rule where you stop

being human is lesser
than that of a human?

King of Knights...

That way of life will someday raise you
from a human...

into the realm of the gods.

What are you laughing
about, King of Heroes?

If such a thing were possible for a human,
is there any reason for hesitation?

Seeking a path of divine righteousness

ultimately brings about
a culling of the people.

Saber...

Destroy...

the Holy Grail.

Is this...

how a Holy Grail w*r can end?

This is...

something you shouldn't
worry about, Saber!

It's an illusion, right?

It's all made up!

I don't know about that! We'll see!

How was it, King Lionheart?

What's your opinion after watching
the king you admired for so long...

try to make her heroic tale
something that never happened?

A pathetic story where
the legendary King Arthur

couldn't grasp a single
thing in her hands!

A hero always faces a choice!

And always, the choice that protects
human history is chosen!

Hey, corpse.

You previously mentioned
you were going to deny humanity...

that Dead Apostles existed
to contaminate human history.

But you're not going to deny Assassin,
who is a part of human history?

What are you getting at?

Defeating high-level
Dead Apostles like you...

requires a consecrated weapon,

a Singularity wielder
or a high-ranking Mage.

Jeez.

I guess this has all
been guided, as well...

Dorothea.

Play Ball!

What the hell did you...

Flat...

Yep! You said that was
a body that split off...

so I followed the
current of Magical Energy

and attacked the main body!

I know, I get it!

It took a long time to distinguish
the pattern! So painstaking!

To think you'd be so surprised...

Perhaps you were being
a bit too conceited?

Don't feign ignorance!

How do you know of that name?

Looks like the information was correct.

I shouldn't be doing this
given my position,

but I believe there is a need
to officially give my gratitude.

No need for gratitude.

I only invested in the descendant

of an old, important
friend of mine, not you.

In return, I request
that you deal with the rubbish.

That voice!

Flat, whose voice was that just now?

I called the one vampire
that I exchanged phone numbers with!

Can it be...

That was a good lecture, Lord.

It seems I have quite a relationship...

with the students of your classroom.

Sir Van-Fem.

I was quite intrigued listening in.

So much so, I believe
it is of no loss to me in this bargain.

Are you planning on getting
in my way, Lord Vandelstam?

A Dead Apostle is one
that denies humanity, you say.

Indeed, that is how it is.

It's what you call a "double standard."

If you are going to
change how you exist

as a Dead Apostle depending
on who you're dealing with,

you have become an unnecessary bug
engraved into this world.

Flat, please clean up that thing for me.

Francesca Prelati!

Saber...

I give you my gratitude
from the bottom of my heart.

Huh?
- Huh?

For giving me an indirect rendition

of a new epic tale of
the great King of Knights!

In my case, I know everything
about the legend of the Round Table.

How the king is betrayed,
how she is irrational,

and how she loses everything in the end.

But my admiration stems

from the entire package,
including all of that.

Besides, the King of Knights
was not denied by the other two.

Is that so?

The King of Conquerors was simply angry.

He did not deny the royal road
of the King of Knights.

Depending on the times, the land,
and feelings of the people and subjects...

what is just or not can easily vary.

That is why that question
does not have a right answer,

and those three knew that
more than anyone else. But...

let's see.

If I had to say something,

there was one thing our King of Knights
lacked compared to the other kings.

She simply had a softer
voice than the others!

Oh, that's the direction
you're taking this?

More like, you're not surprised
that King Arthur was a girl?

So, you knew, didn't you?

The legend of the true King Arthur...

Altria Pendragon.

You somehow found out
back when you were alive.

Just as I thought.
That is what you were really after.

You wanted to know just
how far I stepped myself

into the history of the
King of Knights, didn't you?

But it really was amazing!

Alexander the Great, that golden one,
and our ancestral king!

All rulers beyond my imagination!

Ayaka...

That determination you showed earlier...

I decided to accept it after all!

I would like to redo
my first encounter with you.

I ask you.

Are you...

my Master?

Dammit!

What is that Saber—

What is it this time?

That is...

I see.

I have been forsaken?

What are you...

Mr. Hansa!

That might be bad news!

All right! I shall prove it to you!

I will grasp the Holy
Grail with my own hands,

and with its power, I will
destroy all of humanity!

And when humanity is
reduced to just her...

I will affirm it once more!

When the time comes, I will have you
hold a banquet to celebrate...

Lord Vandelstam!

Did I make the spell a
bit too rough on him?

Rest assured. He's been like this
from the beginning.

Are you targeting Tsubaki Kuruoka?

Flat, what's going on?

Everyone, retreat!

Sorry.

I was asleep for a bit.

You sure are looking good.

Did you wake
from a good dream or something?

Yeah, I'm sure the dream's coming true.

Right, Master?

Just call me "Ayaka."

Ayaka.

I want to use the Holy Grail
for something extremely selfish.

With the power of the Holy Grail...

I want song to echo
throughout a particular location.

Sorry...

can I borrow a sword?

Thank you.

The enemy is likely the Grim Reaper,

and its energy is
likely this world itself.

A most worthy opponent!

Wow!

This is turning into one huge deal!

Quiet down. You will make
the concealment spell meaningless.

Hansa, it was a good thing...

we searched inside the room beforehand!

A parachute similar to a Mystic Code...

I don't know who left them,
but they're quite generous.

King Arthur truly was someone
just like in the legends!

I give my praise!

Even if the King of Conquerors
shows his anger...

even if the King of Heroes scoffs!

I affirm her chivalry...

the building of her ideals,
even if it means nullifying...

all which her subjects accomplished!

However, the great king did not notice.

The kingdom created by the Round Table

and seemingly destroyed
by the Round Table...

needs no new start!

Oh boy, he's sure running
his mouth as he pleases.

Altry is having a hard time here with more

expectations piled on
top of her after her death.

I thought he'd show
a much uglier side of himself...

but he's quite the staunch one.

But maybe it's good!

I like that king!

And...

that girl looks like an
interesting one, too!

The path of kingship you walked
was not mistaken.

The path you left behind,
the pride left by the Round Table...

We who followed had something to admire!

I have lost the qualification
to do so, but...

someday, one will come
and reach where you are!

I will...

No...

to sing a song of human victory...

to the very ends of...

ever-distant Avalon!

Tsubaki, go fetch your father and mother.

O-Okay!

Hold it. Hold up.

It's a pain in the a*s
to don a new guise of a child.

What's wrong?

Monsters...

Monsters!

Mr. Black...

Tsubaki...

What's the matter?

Father!

Ghosts...

So many ghosts...

It's all right, Tsubaki.

Those big skeletons are all on your side.

That's right, Tsubaki.

They are the same as Mr. Black.

Miss!

Assassin!

He's in the basement!

Miss!

It's dangerous, Tsubaki.

Why? Why did Miss—

Because that young lady
is trying to k*ll you.

She said it would be a problem...

Stop it!

Me? Why?

You are the king of this world.

The people who are jealous of you
are trying to bully you.

Mr. Black will protect
you from all of them.

Forever.

But...

then all the people in town...

It doesn't matter how many townsfolk die.

They're simply expendable.

Right. And I've always
been telling you, haven't I?

I...

failed again, didn't I?

What are...

I'm all right.

I'll do my best.

I'll do my best, so...

please, Mr. Black.

Stop it!

Wait!

You are...

Everything...

Please make everything the way it was!

Please...

make me...

all alone forever and ever!

What the hell have you guys done?

What kind of life...

what has she been forced to do...

for a young child to
voluntarily choose this?

What have you been doing
to your own daughter?

Oh man...

what a wet blanket.

I didn't think she'd break that badly.

See you, Miss.

You're not getting away!

But our methodology was
not wrong after all.

Sigma, was it?

Can you contact Faldeus?

Dear, we need to head
to the hospital first.

Right.

Please let Faldeus know.

We will enter the Holy
Grail w*r as soon as

we transplant the Command
Spells from Tsubaki.

Transplant?

You, dear...

That little Tsubaki used up
two strokes of Command Spells.

But with the power of that Heroic Spirit,
we can gain quite an advantage.

You, dear. Listen closely.

Are you going to sever Tsubaki's hand?

Yeah. It's a blessing that
she can't do any ridiculous screaming.

In the worse case scenario,

we have to preserve
at least her reproductive functions.

What you need to eradicate are the ones
who are trying to plunder from us.

I see. It's you guys.

Why do you have that?

I'd like you to return it.

I have been...

participating in this Holy Grail w*r
as one of the Masters.

My boss Francesca...

has authorized me
to wage w*r at my own discretion.

Hey, don't get any
strange ideas, got that?

From me...

as a spellcaster...

not a Mage...

This is a declaration of w*r against you.

We're back?

So, they have returned.

I've had stomach pain for a while now,
but it will be over in a few more days.

I must adjust things now in earnest.

What first?

Oh, there you are!

Hey!

Ayaka!

Huh? Who?

Why do you know my name?

Oh, you really are someone else!

But your name is also Ayaka?

I'm Flat!

Nice to meet you!

You know about me?

I'm friends with someone
who has the same face and name you do.

But your Magical Energy flow...
so it really is...

Tell me if you know something about me!

What am I...

Who is Ayaka Sajyou?

Yep, you really don't have
a good grasp of what you are.

All right.

Listen up. Your body is—

Huh?

Master?

Wha...

It's so bright.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jack.

I screwed up.

Flat!

I'm sorry, Professor.

Everyone...

I'm sorry.

Nooooo!

Target's head
has been confirmed demolished.

Pursuit complete.

So, this is your stomach medicine?

Yes.

Getting rid of the cause of your stress

one by one is the
best way to deal with it.

This is...

It seems Flat Escardos has met his end.

I shall give a blessing...

to the great deed...

my old neighbor has accomplished.

is going on?

You look as though you've come
to a reconciliation within yourself.

Francesca had told me.

That makes you sad?

No. I finally understand now.

I was jealous.

Because I'm sure Mother
had discovered her reason to live.

So, what are you going to do from here?

I was told I can act freely...

so that's what I'll do.

I will take this Holy Grail w*r...

and destroy it!
