Chapter 20 > Third Singularity 1
43
I awoke at the same time again today.
I confirm my body temperature. I check all five senses are working.
To understand it objectively, I say my name.
I take a deep breath.
I am aware that I could disappear any time I go to sleep.
I am Me. Today, again, my existence has been allowed.
44
Dr: Good morning. It was quite cold this morning, wasn't it?
Dr: Not that it really affects you in this room.
That sounds difficult.
I say what comes to my mind.
I’m in a clean, pleasant room.
He makes a pained face,
Then
Congratulations on your 5110th awakening.
He says.
“Thank you very much.” I reply -words that come straight from my heart.
45
I’m very happy.
That this day,
I can gaze upon this clean world-
Fujimaru: A dream…?
Fujimaru: That was…
Ma...er…
Please wake up…
46
Kiyohime: My
Kiyohime: Ma-
Kiyohime: s-ter.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
47
Mash: A…
Mash: ha
Mash: ha
Mash: And,
Mash: Why have you come here?
Mash: Miss Kiyohime.
Kiyohime: Why?
Kiyohime: No idea?
Mash: No idea!
You left after the first singularity, didn’t you!
So why are you in Chaldea now!
Kiyohime: Yes, If a heroic spirits role is completed, they will disappear.
Kiyohime: The fact that I didn’t disappear, and remain in the present age must mean that-
48
It’s the power,
Of love.
Dr: So, you reported it to me?
Dr: Huh? Are you trying to make fun of this 30 year old bachelor?
Mash: Of course not!
Mash: Senpai’s troubled by it!
Dr: Well,
Dr: In the first singularity you linked fingers, right?
Fujimaru: Y- Yes…
49
Dr: Maybe you made a contract then?
Dr: And then she somehow made her way to Chaldea.
Dr: I’ve really got no idea how that happened though.
Doesn’t that explanation sound a bit sloppy!
Anyway, don’t worry about it. I got Leonardo to do a thorough check.
Kiyohime is definitely our ally. There’s nothing to be suspicious of.
Fujimaru: Nothing suspicious…
Fujimaru: Her personality is completely different from when we were in France, you know?
Dr: Well, you see-
Kiyohime: I’ll explain from here ♡
Kiyohime: I’m back from my examination ♡
Fujimaru: …
Kiyohime: It’s true that there’s one thing that’s different from when you saw me France.
Kiyohime: I’m sure you haven’t noticed, but-
50
Kiyohime: I’ve fallen in love with a certain gentleman.
*glance* *glance*
I’ve noticed!
That person said my dragon form was cool ‘fu’.
It wasn’t a lie, but his true feelings ‘ji’
That’s the first time I’ve ever been told that ‘maru’
There’s something strange on the end of your sentences!
Kiyohime: So you see, I’m in love
Kiyohime: with
Kiyohime: you ♡
In the end you just said it anyway!
Dr: They say a berserker loses their reasoning.
Dr: I guess you can lose it like this as well.
Mash: You seem like you don’t care about any of this, Doctor!
51
Regardless, It’s a good thing to gain more allies.
From now on we’ll have her accompany you.
Dr: It was good timing.
Dr: The next rayshift is today, after all.
Fujimaru: Over the sea?
Dr: That’s where the next singularity is.
Dr: It’s a certain area of ocean in 1573,
Dr: but there’s been a significant change to the geography.
Fujimaru: Can we rayshift there properly?
Dr: Of course!
52
Dr: Rayshift technology is advancing day by day!
Dr: At the very least, you shouldn’t come out above the sea!
Dr: Well, it technically wasn’t above the sea…
Dr: I didn’t think you would come out on top of the clouds though… um…
Dr: I’m really sorry…
53
Mash: I softened the impact by activating my noble phantasm when we hit the water.
Kiyohime: If I hadn’t transformed and carried everyone to nearby island,
Mash: Senpai
Kiyohime: My husband
Both: would have
Both: Died!
Dr: I didn’t mean any harmmmm!
Fujimaru: Let’s not worry about it.
Fujimaru: In the end, we’re all safe.
Fujimaru: For now, let's get a grasp of the situation.
Fujimaru: Right now, we’re-
54
Fujimaru: on an island. Somewhere.
Right, exactly! We’re detecting life on this Island!
There may be someone here who knows about this singularity!
Glare
Ah… Sorry…
Dr: Anyway, speaking seriously,
Dr: Fujimaru, you need to be careful in this singularity.
After rayshifting your mystic code basically kept you uninjured,
But when you return, the wound’s will open all at once.
You do remember, right?
Fujimaru: uhh…
Mash: So that was it… I didn’t notice then…
Fujimaru: No, no, don’t worry about it.
55
Fujimaru: I’ll be careful this time.
Fujimaru: I don’t particularly like being in pain.
Mash: I- I’ll do my best, Senpai!
Mash: I won’t let the enemies lay a single finger on you!
Mash: Let’s begin searching! I’ll take the front!
Mash: Hiya!
Kiyohime: Liar.
Miss Kiyohime!
Kiyohime: Please, just “Kiyohime”, my husband.
Kiyohime: You may not like pain, but if there’s no other choice you’ll do it.
Kiyohime: That lie is easy to see through.
Fujimaru: That’s…
Do you remember my tale?
Fujimaru: Um…
56
Kiyohime: My sweetheart lied to me and ran away,
Kiyohime: so I burned him to death.
Kiyohime: Make sure not to lie to me. Alright?
Kiyohime: My
♡
Fujimaru: Ah, Okay. I'll be careful.
Fujimaru: Mi-
Fujimaru: Kiyohime.
57
Fujimaru: That ring of light’s here as well…
It seems so. We don’t know what it is though, so let’s leave that for now.
Dr: More important is this singularity’s abnormality.
Dr: Since the rayshift, the accuracy of our observations has improved.
Dr: It’s quite crazy.
The currents and wind are strange.
There’s jungle and warm ocean.
But wherever we look, we can’t find anything resembling a continent.
Fujimaru: For that big of a change to happen…
It has to be a “holy grail”.
Dr: Or more accurately, ”There’s has to be a grail in this era as well”.
Dr: “Whoever obtained that grail brought about this abnormality”.
Dr: In other words, what you need to do in this singularity is no different from the others.
“Recover the grail”.
58
Fujimaru: “Find the owner of the grail.”
Fujimaru: “Take the grail and restore the singularity.”
Fujimaru: Right, Doctor?
Dr: You got it.
Fujimaru: Saying that,
Fujimaru: Right now I couldn’t even guess who that might be.
Fou!
Right?
Kiyohime: It would have to be someone related to this era, right?
Kiyohime: Just like “Gilles de Rais”.
Someone related to the ocean of 1573, huh…
Mash: If that’s the case, could it be someone from the “age of exploration”?
Fujimaru: Are there any famous people?
Mash: The most famous would probably be Francis Drake.
Mash: He was the first man in human history to navigate around the world and survive.
Mash: He was also known as El Draque, devil of the sea.
Fujimaru: That’s quite a disturbing name, isn’t it?
Mash: Yes. After all, he was a “pirate”.
59
Mash: He was an official pirate of England, known as a “privateer”.
Mash: As a captain, he dominated the seas, crushing Spain. He became known as the “Unsinkable Sun”
Mash: He greatly contributed to England’s prosperity, as “The Hero who Sank the Sun”.
Fujimaru: I wonder if they might have the grail?
Dr: It would be good if things went that smoothly.
Kiyohime:
Kiyohime: Please look over there.
Kiyohime: It seems like there’s significant signs of life.
60
I’ll kill you, bastard!
The rum’s gone! The gunpowder too!
61
They’re ridiculously barbaric!
Would they be the people of this era?
It really is something…
Fujimaru: Yeah… Pirates…
Mash: Do you think we could find anyone to work with out of these people?
Fujimaru: Well…
62
Man: Would you happen to be searching for someone?
Man: Master and his beautiful Servants.
!
*Ding*
Man: There’s no need for battle.
Man: I’m not your enemy.
Fujimaru: You’re…
Mash: Master! He’s a Servant!
Fujimaru: !
Man: That’s right.
Man: But I told you, didn’t I? I’m not your enemy.
63
Man: I’m “Archer”.
Archer: You’ll trust me if I tell you my class, right?
Archer: Huh? You think I’m suspicious? How strange…
Archer: Well, anyway. If you’re searching for someone, I’ll lend a hand.
Archer: I’ll take you to meet the person in charge of this island.
Archer: I’ll lead the way.
Fujimaru: Eh? Ah, wait!
Fujimaru: What should we do, Doctor?
Roman: Follow him.
Archer: I’ll go call them now.
Archer: Please wait here.
64
Fujimaru: Is this going to be okay?
Pirate: Oh?
Pirate: What a cute face!
*Stare*
*Stare*
Fujimaru: Huh?
You’re quite violent, Captain.
You’re telling me to stop because it’s dangerous?
I’m the one who says whether it’s dangerous or not!
So you guys are Master and Servant?
65
Captain: Well,
Captain: You’ve quite the queer appearance.
Fujimaru: A woman!?
Mash: We- We’re from an organization called Chaldea!
Captain: Chaldeaa?
Captain: What do the star watchers want with me?
Doctor: !
She knows the origin of Chaldea!?
66
Wait, in this unknown singularity,
The fact that she’s in charge of a whole island,
Means that she can’t be just a normal pirate.
Dr: You two, be careful with these negotiations.
Mash: Miss Captain.
Mash: Are you aware of the situation in this sea?
Captain: Of course.
Captain: It’s quite the funny situation,
Captain: I haven’t seen waters like this before.
Mash: We’ve come here in order to correct this situation.
Mash: Would it be possible to have your cooperation?
67
Captain: No way.
Mash: Wh- Why is that!? You said yourself that the situation was funny!
Captain: Yeah, It really is funny.
Captain: But I didn’t mean that it was abnormal!
Captain: There could be no other world as amusing as this!
Mash: Wh...! Wha…!?
This sea is entertaining! And no-one’s ever seen it before!
68
Captain: So to start with, we’re going to steal everything we can from this ocean!
Captain: That’s what it means to be a pirate!
Captain: Isn’t that right, ya bastards!
Pirates: You’re amazing, Sis!
Alright! It’s time for more drinking!
Mash: Wha- Wha- Wha-
Mash: These people aren’t listening at all!
Fujimaru: Crap!
Fujimaru: Please wait, Captain!
Fujimaru: If we don’t restore the sea, the whole world will be destroyed!
Fujimaru: It may be difficult to believe, but please, let’s talk a little-
69
Captain: You’re getting annoying.
Fujimaru: Huh?
70
Captain: What did you think would happen, bringing up the fate of the world to a pirate?
Captain: Also, you talk too much.
Captain: Oh?
71
Not bad.
You’re pretty tough.
Fujimaru: Wh…
Fujimaru: The cannons just appeared from nowhere!
Is she a Servant!
Captain: That’s rude.
Captain: I’ve got legs, don’t I?
Captain: Don’t go treating people like they’re ghosts.
I’m 100% alive.
The name’s Francis Drake.
72
Huhhhhhhhhhhhh!!?
Drake: Wh- What is it?
Fujimaru: You’re not a man!?
Drake: Hah? You wanna die?
Kiyohime: Is this the time to be surprised!
Kiyohime: We’re still in combat with her!
Take her
Archer.
Archer: Aye Captain.
*Wizz*
73
Fujimaru: Kiyohime!
Kiyohime: Was “I’m not your enemy” a lie after all…?
Archer: It’s the truth.
Archer: But I don’t have any choice.
Archer: I am a crew member of her ship.
74
Archer: Don’t worry, I’m not going to kill you.
Archer: I don’t know about the Captain though.
Mash: I’m detecting a magical energy reaction from Francis Drake again!
Fujimaru: Even though she’s a human? Doctor!
Doctor: She is definitely a human.
Doctor: Most likely she is Francis Drake.
Doctor: In other words, a person related to this singularity!
Doctor: Fujimaru, she-!
75
Possesses
The holy grail!
Fujimaru: Francis Drake really had the
Fujimaru: Grail…?
76
Drake: The holy grail?
Drake: Is it that treasure of mine that Archer mentioned?
Drake: So you guys are hunting for treasure too?
Drake: Nice, nice! That makes things easy!
Fujimaru, this could be your chance.
Doctor: If she’s the source of the disturbances in this era,
Doctor: you just need to defeat her and recover the grail.
Fujimaru: Defeat her… She’s human, isn’t she!
Either way,
Francis Drake’s ready to fight.
You’ve got no choice other than battle.
77
Oh, that's good.
It seems you’re prepared to fight back.
Drake: Alright then. Killing,
Drake: Stealing.
Drake: When it suits,
Drake: firing off swarms of bullets and cannonballs too.
Let’s begin.
On this shore with nothing but pirates,
On this ocean full of pirates,
Now then!
78
Whether in victory or defeat!
Let’s make a show of it!
