The Mad King, Cu Chulainn.
That’s the name of the one leading the Celts,
The one who cast the death thorn curse on Rama.
F: Cu Chulainn’s our enemy?
F: Why did this happen?
118
Hek: An ally becoming and enemy.
Hek: It happens all the time. The opposite is true, after all.
Hek: So “Master”,
Chapter 39 >
Fifth Singularity 3
Hek: What are you going
Hek: to do now?
119
2 days later
New Mexico
M:...
Later on—
As a result of multiple discussions, we’ve decided on two courses of action.
The first—
Owowowww!
Can’t you go a bit easier!?
My heart’s been crushed here, you know!
120
Nigh: Quiet.
Nigh: Your heart has been smashed in.
Rama: Ugh…
Is to continue
Rama’s treatment.
Dr: There’s three possible ways to break the curse.
Dr: One, Defeat the one cast it, Cu Chulainn.
Dr: Two, seek out someone who can break the curse.
Dr: And three,
Dr: Increase the precision of the treatment.
Nigh: Are you saying there’s a problem with my medical skills?
Dr: It’s a matter of concepts, Chief.
Dr: In medicine, understanding of the human body is crucial.
Dr: If the patient was human, your understanding would be perfect,
Dr: and there would be no way to improve the effects of the treatment.
However, he’s a Heroic Spirit.
Thus there’s potential to improve the precision of the treatment.
Ger: That seems the most realistic of the three.
Ger: The problem is how to achieve that…
121
The best method would be to meet a Servant who knew him while alive.
If we knew the blueprints for his body while he was alive,
I’m sure we could improve the effects of the treatment.
Rama: It seems…
Rama: That we’re quite lucky…
There is one...
The reason I challenged that mad king to battle…
Was to discover their location…
And thus the first plan was decided.
It wasn’t long before we decided on our other direction either.
122
Ger: We need to expand our forces.
Ger: We should join up with as many of the Servants who were summoned to America as possible.
Hek: …
Hek: Didn’t we go over this before?
Ger: Of course.
Ger: But I’m just making sure.
Our numbers are much lower than those of the other two powers.
It would be impossible for us to march straight through the Celt forces like Edison can.
So there’s only one course of action.
“Assasination”
We’ll cooperate with the Servants we find to infiltrate the heart of the Celt’s army,
And by taking out the “king” the singularity will be restored.
123
Hek: Right, right.
Hek: That’s exactly what was said.
Hek: And with that,
Hek: We’re travelling around to meet up with those summoned Servants.
Ger: And at the same time we’re searching for the one who knows Rama.
Ger: There is the fact that he’ll be a powerful ally,
Ger: but also, I personally want to grant his wish.
Hek: How kind of you.
Hek: Well, this old man’s just a Lance.
Hek: This time I’m not bothering with those things.
Ger: Is that so…
Ger: We’ve finished going over everything.
Sorry that you had to join me in doing so.
No, no. It’s something that needs to be done, after all.
Ger: Ah, that’s right.
Ger: There’s one other thing I want to make sure of.
124
Ger: Hektor.
Ger: You are Fujimaru’s Servant, correct.
Hek: Of course.
Hek: I’m under contract to that boy.
Da: Oh Hektor...
Da: He’s not even trying to hide his lack of loyalty!
Da: It’s a good thing Kiyohime isn’t here!
125
Dr: A vessel of his Master. It seems like he’s making sure…
Dr: Fujimaru’s feeling troubled at the moment.
Dr: Cu Chulainn, someone who he looked owes a lot to, is now the enemy after all…
Da: It’s a different singularity. He’s like a different person, you know?
Dr: He can’t separate things to that extent.
That’s the same for Mash.
She’s shaken.
Whether Hektor respects him as a “master” or not,
Will determine how he faces the enemy, Cu Chulainn.
The state of New Mexico
Luna County, Deming City
126
Ger: Normally this land would still be the territory of Spain though.
Ger: With the beginning of Edison’s rule, it began being called by its name as part of the United States of America.
Dr: There’s two unknown Servants staying here.
Dr: If we can join forces with them, they would increase our strength significantly… Is that right?
Ger: The allied Servants we sent ahead made contact and confirmed it.
Ger: More importantly…
Nightingale…
What is that…
Nigh: It’s a Ramabag.
Ger: Ramabag.
127
Nigh: Without my treatment he will die before long,
Nigh: So I made it so that I can treat him while we move.
Rama: I want to stay alive, but I really want to die.
Rama: I am Rama, the king of Kosala! Why should I have to—
SFX: BANG
Nigh: He’s quiet now. Let’s go.
Ger:...
F: …
M: Um… Senpai…
Masterrrr♡
Ki, Kiyohime!?
Kiyo: It’s me♡
Kiyo: I’ve just swapped with the operator, so you’ll have me for a while♡
F: I see. Than…
SFX: Stare…
Wh, What is it…?
SFX: Stare—
128
Kiyo: Nothing!
Kiyo: Alright, Husband!
Kiyo: We need to meet up with new Servants.
Ah, yeah…
M: Th- That’s right!
M: There’s even signs here to show us the way.
Broadway… In session?
I wonder what’s in session?
More importantly, weren’t we in Deming?
F: Broadway’s kind of famous, right?
M: I believe it’s the centre of America’s showbusiness.
Musicals and stuff, huh.
Maybe it’s someone who likes those things.
Ah, I see.
129
M: In that case it might be Elizabeth.
M: We met her in the second singularity too, after all.
Kiyo: Huh?
F: We’ve ran into her a few times.
F: She seemed really happy being able to visit various places.
Eli: Little Puppy~
As laid-back as always…
The second singularity was Rome. Nero helped us out a lot as well
Ger: Nero as in the tyrant Nero?
Ger: I don’t have a very good impression…
As far as what has been passed down through history, I believe that would be true.
It was a life filled with assassinations, persecution and scandals.
However, meeting her while she was alive,
She wasn’t like that at all.
130
A smile like a blooming rose,
Filled with love for her people, for her country. Love for the world.
That was who they were.
Kiyo: ...It sounds like fun.
Kiyo: Just as much as all the other journeys.
M: It was!
M: I’d love to tell you about it when we get back.
I’ll look forward to it.
Ger: Then it may be those two who we find.
Ger: The stars tend to align like that.
Dr: That’s right. Going by probabilities it’s nearly impossible.
Dr: But that’s a nice romantic way to think about it.
131
Dr: Saying that, those two are so tone-deaf it’s scary!
F: If they started a show like Broadway,
F: We wouldn’t have time to worry about restoring human order.
Ger: Fu…
Ger: Fujimaru. Master Mage.
Ger: If you say that,
Ger: they really will show up.
132
The sound has been cut, but she’s completely off key.
133
The sound has been cut, but she’s completely off key.
Audience member 1: Archer.
Audience member 2: Archer.
134
F: Aren’t you embarrassed to keep showing up!?
F: To think you would actually show up!!
Eli: Long time no see, little puppies! This must be fate!
Nero: So you people are from this Chaldea that Elizabeth was talking about!
135
Nero: I’ve heard that I met you once when I was alive, but it makes sense now!
Nero: You’re both my type. You’ve got some nice looks!
M: Th- Thank you very much…
M: We’re really glad to have met up with you two again…
M: But, um…
What's with this disaster…?
136
Rob: I- I can explain that…
*shake* *shake*
M: Ah, who are you…!?
Rob: Archer.
Rob: My true name’s Robin Hood.
Rob: One of the Servant’s working with Mister Geronimo…
Rob: We came here to ask those two off-key wannabes to help us out…
Rob: Guhah! Guhah! Gahah!!
Mash: Robin Hood!
Nigh: Stand back!
Nigh: It seems like his organs are damaged!
M: England’s legendary noble thief, Robin Hood!
M: For a master of the bow such as him to take such wounds…!
Hek: ...Well,
Hek: It’s not like you can block music with a bow…
137
Th- Then, I can continue…
M: And, And you are…!?
Bil: Billy the Kid.
Bil: Archer…
Bil: As a condition for them joining us, they wanted to hold a recital here.
Bil: We readied ourselves, and after making sure the residents escaped, we decided to wait for you here.
Bil: And well, you know the rest…
Bill: Guhah! Guh! Guhh!
M: Billy the Kid!
Nigh: His organs are damaged as well! Beginning treatment!
M: The most famous outlaw in America, Billy the Kid.
M: For a master of the gun such as him to end up in this state…
Hek: ...A gun
Hek: can’t block music, after all…
138
Eli: It’s just as they said, Little Puppy! We’ve heard everything from the green mouse!
Nero: Yes!
Nero: But to be honest, I wanted to sing more!
Eli: Lancer!
Eli: Elizabeth Bathory!
Nero: Saber!
Nero: Nero Claudius!
Eli: Let’s work together!
Nero: To restore human order!
139
M: Elizabeth! Nero!
*Staaaaaare*
*stare—*
Hek: Why on earth is she so moved by this…?
Ger: A- anyway, we’ll appreciate their support.
Ger: You two did well.
Eli: So?
Eli: What’s the plan now?
Nero: We’ll be going to defeat this “king”, won’t we?
Nero: Where has he been staying?
Ger: Let’s talk about that. To start with—
Wait.
Rama: ...There’s something
Rama: I wish to ask you…
140
Nero: Rama… Was it?
Nero: Go ahead.
Ger: I can ask them. It must be hard for you to talk.
Rama: Ha
Rama: Ha
Rama: No.
Rama: This is a question I need to ask myself…
Rama: There’s someone I’m searching for…
Rama: Ha
Rama: Ha
Rama: Someone precious to me… So precious I would risk my life to find them…
F: Risking his life…
F: He’s not just worried about being healed…
Rama: There’s only one thing I wish to ask you…
Rama: Have you—
141
Undefeated Violet Prunella: Mac an Luin
!?
Dr: There’s a magical energy reaction coming from above!?
Something’s been thrown towards the ground…
This is…!?
142
A Noble Phantasm!
144
F: Water!?
M: It’s flowing so fast that the ground is breaking apart!?
We’ve been separated from the others.
What’s going on here…!?
Ger: This Noble Phantasm…!
Ger: Our spy informed us about this. It’s the Celt’s—
Oh?
So you know about my master.
!!
145
Eli: Hold on, what is this!
Nero: This would make a great backdrop for our stage!
Rob: We’re being attacked, you two!
Hahaha.
To hear that praise after showing my attack.
It seems like you ladies will delight me.
!!
146
M: No way…
M: We’ve been washed to the edge of the town…
Hek: Were the enemy trying to split us apart?
Hek: What are our locations?
Dr: It’s no good.
Dr: They’re too far away to regroup.
And you should be able to see him over there.
The Celt
Servant
147
I’m a Saber-class Servant.
Fergus mac Róich
As the Celt commander, I’ve come here to pierce in you.
Dr: He wields a demonic sword and was both a friend and adoptive father to Cu Chulainn.
Dr: It makes sense that he would serve under him!
F: Cu Chulainn’s…
Hek: …
Ferg: Four, no, three Servants.
Ferg: That damn Fionn, leaving it all up to the elderly.
Magical energy levels are increasing!
He’s coming!
Rama: Wait!
148
Hum…
Nigh: Again?
Rama: Sorry, but I won’t stay quiet!
Rama: Celt warrior, Fergus!
Rama: There’s something I wish to ask you!
Rama: Do you know of my wife!
Rama: A girl called “Sita”!?
Ferg: Wife? At that age…?
Ferg: No, a Servant’s appearance is irrelevant…
Ferg: I don’t know the name, but I have seen a red haired girl that looks like you.
Rama: Sita has red hair! Where is she!?
149
Ferg: Do you think I’d actually tell you?
Ferg: If you want to know something, you need to beat it out of your opponent by force, right?
Can you do that, kid?
Rama: Ha
Rama: ha
In that state?
Rama: ...Nevertheless,
Rama: I’m not going to give up…
Rama: Ha
Please, Miss Nurse
Master of Chaldea…
I want you to lend me your strength!
F: ……
F: Hektor.
Hek: Yes?
150
Back Blink
Boosted
Hek: Woah!?
Ferg: Ungh!?
151
Ferg: Ha!
Ferg: What an aggressive Master!’
But your Servant’s bewildered too!
M: Senpai…!?
Dr: …
“What are you going to do now?”
You asked me that, didn’t you.
F: I can’t decide what to do about Cu Chulainn.
F: Even if I’m told he’s a different person than the one in Fuyuki, but it still doesn’t sit right with me.
F: But that doesn’t matter.
F: For now I’ll fight. Because there’s someone right here
152
F: Who I want to help out!
Rama: …!
Rama: You…!
M: Master…
Dr: ...You knew, didn’t you.
Kiyo: Of course.
He’s not a man who would let this stop him from fighting.
F: Hektor.
I’m going to give my orders.
Can I count on you?
Hek: ...Hah.
153
Hek: Well kid,
Hek: I can’t say much to that.
Hek: You can count on me, “Master”.
Hek: I’ll show you the difference experience makes.
Rama: …!
Nigh: Rama.
Nigh: There’ll be some intense movements.
Nigh: Deal with it.
Rama: …
Rama: Thank you!
154
Ferg: ...This is getting interesting!
Ferg: It seems that I’ve met some people who are worth eating!
Ferg: Saber Fergus!
Ferg: Butting in!
