Chapter 40: Gawain VS Suzuka Gozen I
Text: Suzuka doesn’t retreat a single inch against Gawain!!
Saber (thought): Vertical, 1 // Horizontal, 9 // …There we go!
Leo (thought): I’ll follow Caster’s advice. // We’ll render Suzuka Gozen immobile with a short, decisive battle…!
Page 2:
Saber (thought): Fast! // Not bad. // Then, // how about this!?
Page 3:
Gawain (thought): She raised her speed by a notch— // She’s testing…no, gauging my sword.
Saber (thought): He’s so annoyingly composed…! // His reaction speed is too good.
Gawain: No matter how fast you move or how far you read ahead, // I will mow it all down.
Saber: Hmph. // Despite being a peeper, you aren’t a Knight of the Round Table for nothing, I suppose. // I’ll revise my earlier comment. // You aren’t just relying on the power of the sun.
Page 4:
Saber: But your speed, power and experience— // I can read it all!
Kazuhito: Kuh!
Leo (thought): In order to obtain the SG, // Hakuno-san is indispensable— // Should we retreat or continue attacking?
Text (sound effect): Bzz
Leo (thought): First, I need to check Hakuno-san’s condition—
Leo: !!
Text (sound effect): Bzz // Bzz
Page 5:
Leo (thought): BB—
BB: …Vio was too immature.
Text (sound effect): Bzz // Bzz
BB: Suzuka-san is too naïve to properly deal the final blow.
Leo (thought): —Our plan became a failure the moment BB appeared. // We have to escape— // …
Hakuno: …I… // I…
Leo (thought): But // do we even have the time
BB: I’ve almost reached the Holy Grail. // Playtime ends here.
Leo (thought): to wait for a chance to escape, with BB right in front of us—!?
Page 6:
Text (sound effect): Bzz
BB: I…will… // ……
Text (sound effect): Bzz
Leo (thought): Something’s off with her…
Julius (flashback): BB must be continuously devoting her energy to reach the
using the fabricated Arena.
BB: directly…
Leo (thought): Is she temporarily lagging due to the heavy load on her data capacity!?
Leo: Gawain, // we’re retreating!
Saber: !
Gawain: !
Page 7:
Gawain: Understood!
Saber: BB-chan! // I was just at the good point, you know!?
Kei: Hakuno-san!?
Hakuno: No… // I don’t want…to leave…
Gawain: Pardon me.
Hakuno: Cas…
Page 8:
Saber: Sorry, but I’m not letting you have her.
Leo: Kuh…
Kazuhito: Kill her, // Saber!
Page 9:
Shinji: Wait! // Caster is our hostage!
Saber (thought): If I kill Caster and Kishinami vanishes, the knight will be freed of any baggage weighing him down. // It’s better to use the fox as a bargaining tool…huh? // Regardless of Matou’s true intentions, his suggestion makes sense.
Saber: If you say that, I suppose I can’t ignore it.
Leo (thought): Shinji-san…!?
Shinji (thought): Now’s your only chance to run, Leo! // We’re both geniuses, so you should get what I’m trying to do here!
Leo (thought): But—
Page 10:
Leo: Gawain! // What are you—!?
Gawain: My lord. // The chance Matou Shinji provided us lasted only an instant. // I feared that your decision to leave Caster behind would be delayed by your feelings of specially viewing Kishinami Hakuno— // I will accept punishment for my arbitrary judgment later…!
Page 11:
Leo (thought): With BB there, we don’t have the time to rescue Caster. // And there’s no guarantee that Caster won’t be killed after being left behind… // But if we had hesitated to act, Caster would have been used as a shield by them. // In that case, I would have had to abandon Caster…and Hakuno-san.
Leo: —No. // Your decision was correct.
Shinji: Like I was saying. // Rather than eliminating Kishinami and freeing up the hands of the team that beat Karna, // it’s obviously better to use Caster as a hostage to restrict their actions.
Kazuhito: My primary objective is to kill Kishinami. // I’ll think of what to do afterwards when the time comes. // Saber, whose Servant are you?
Saber: Yours, obviously, Kazu-kun.
Page 12:
Kazuhito: Then why won’t you finish lowering that sword?
Saber: Though it irritates me, it’s true that she has value alive, you know? // And that knight is annoyingly strong too… // Well, I’d like to just kill her here and now myself. // But is that really all right with you?
Shinji: Saber directly fought against Gawain’s sword. // She knows from experiences just how troublesome he is as an opponent.
Kazuhito: —I don’t care. // Kill her.
BB: That’s enough.
Page 13:
BB: You mustn’t… // kill Caster.
Saber: Ah. // You’ve recovered?
Kazuhito: …What’s the meaning of this, // BB? // You’re the one who said it. // To kill Kishinami—
Text (sound effect): Creak
BB: Stabbing his leg was wonderful.
Saber: ?
BB: But…charm, was it? // That won’t do at all. // If you kill Caster now, // senpai will simply disappear without feeling anything. // That’s such a waste…There’s no way I could agree to that.
Page 14:
BB: At the very least—he must suffer as he dies— // I’ll…kill senpai with my own hands once the charm is undone— // At…that place.
Text (sound effect): Creak // Creak
Kazuhito: Wait, BB!
Page 15:
Saber: Well, true enough. // She didn’t say that he has to be killed by any means necessary, // but rather that we “has to make him suffer”. // Isn’t she acting solely out of some personal grudge here?
Kazuhito: … // As if you’re one to talk.
Saber: Eh, but, // BB-chan and I have completely different positions.
Shinji: We were gathered here for the sake of BB’s grudge. // That’s how it is.
Saber: Her motive is obvious as day, but BB-chan’s claim remains unchanged. // Remember what she said? “You have no choice but to trust me.” // As expected of an AI, she really understands people’s hearts.
Page 16:
Saber: …The point is, // we still can’t kill the fox.
Kazuhito: Tch.
Saber (thought): If I hadn’t been using my second Noble Phantasm, // I might have brought down my blade before I could consider the advantages and disadvantages, though…
Saber: …If BB-chan kills Kishinami and it looks like you’re about to vanish, // I’ll deal the final blow to you myself first. // That’s one thing I don’t want BB-chan to take from me. // That’s my obligation as the one who took you down, you know?
