They'll catch up in a few days?
Of course. That is, if Ruler can gather the remaining Yggdmillennia Servants.
I understand that.
Now time to answer my question.
Depending on your answer, it may be the last question you'll ever hear.
Ame no shizuku mitai mayoinagara ochiteyuku
Like drops of rain we fall blindly
Sorezore no omoi eranda michi he
Down the path of life we each chose
Hora mou sugu kuroi yoake ga kuru kara
Look, the black dawn will soon rise
Dakishimeta yume no kakera ga itai yo
Shards of the dream I followed pierce me
Shinjiru koto nise okubyou ni natta
I pretended to believe to cover my cowardice
Konna sekai de nani wo kizameru no darou
I wonder what can I find in this world
Tameshitai
I'll give it a try
Ikutsumo no boku wo koete umareta yo
I stand on the backs of countless past mes
Shinjiru koto de shika tsuyoku narenai
Believing is the only way for me to get stronger
Konna sekai de nani wo kizameru no darou
I wonder what can I find in this world
Bokutachi no ima
This moment together
Where are our Masters?
All five of them are in a room here in the Gardens.
I suppose they still maintain their human forms.
Such is the poison we used.
You monster...
All they were concerned about was outsmarting each other. They were in the way.
Are you not the same, only concerned about yourselves?
Will you believe me if I said their lives are not in danger?
We're out of options.
I will acknowledge you as my Master.
It really didn't take much to convince you.
I have no compassion for a weak Master.
What about us then? Will we be disposed of once you're done with us, too?
Please. You will of course be allowed to cast your wish upon the Grail.
Speaking of, mind if I ask you why you seek the miracle of the Grail?
The same as always.
I want to live as a hero. That's all.
I see.
Surprisingly bland for the great hero Achilles.
There is no such thing as grand or vulgar when it comes to wishes.
I've no intentions of backing off. I'm just as selfish as a certain Queen of Assyria.
You don't say?
I wish for all children to be loved.
That is nothing but a pipe dream, Archer.
What?! Isn't that what the Grail is for?
It's not worthy of that name if it can't fulfill such a wish!
In some form, the Grail should grant your wish.
And that wish isn't in contradiction with mine.
The salvation of mankind?
Yes.
What about you, Lancer?
I was summoned by one of those Masters.
Thus,
my wish is to wield this spear of mine.
So you remain loyal to your previous Master?
I'm getting tired of all these charity champions.
That's my wish, and the least I deserve as payment.
However, fighting for your cause is convenient for me as it happens to align with my own aspirations.
Your... aspirations?
You seek a rematch with Saber of Black?
Indeed. Once that is done, I will burn all seeking the Grail to ash.
Very well. I promise to send Saber of Black to you once he comes to the Gardens.
Keep your word.
Of course.
Then let me ask you this, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada:
how do you intend to save mankind?
All right.
Let me detail then my plan for the salvation of mankind.
The salvation of mankind?
Yes. That is the true goal of Shiro Kotomine—or rather Amakusa Shiro—as he told Archer and me.
That's one silly wish.
Shut yer trap, fatty!
The whole point of the Grail is fulfilling dumb wishes like that!
It's impossible!
The Greater Grail is, at its core, simply a huge accumulation of magical energy.
It abbreviates theory and process, only providing the result.
So what if this Shiro person knows a specific way to make it real?
Then the Grail would make it real.
So the problem is that he may actually know such a way?
No, that's not it.
The problem is what if his way was a disaster to mankind.
What does that mean?
Suppose someone wanted to become the greatest mage in the world.
His idea to realize that is to stupidly kill every other mage alive.
Would the Grail do that for him?
What?
Basically, yes.
That's nonsense! Impossible!
Who would allow that?!
So we have to come up with a plan to prevent that kind of scenario.
They are moving with their Hanging Gardens.
Considering the distance alone, catching up is not an issue.
We could go after them with a plane.
Unfortunately, they've got an Archer.
Archer of Red, Atalanta.
One of the few female hunters in Greek mythology.
Taking down a plane would be child's play for her and her bow.
We lost three Servants already.
Not even counting Assassin.
That means we need help.
Hey Master, I think that means us.
I agree to the point of stopping Amakusa Shiro.
We can't really do anything until then either.
Any objections?
Come on.
Once I chop off that Saber's head.
And his babysitter.
Well, it'd definitely piss them off, especially that poisonous hag.
Right.
Can I take it that you both agree to join forces, then?
Temporarily, until we deal with him.
We could bind a Self-Geass Scroll as well.
We don't need to go that far.
I trust you.
It's a deal, then.
You seem exhausted.
No, I... Yeah, I guess I'm a bit tired.
What did you just say, Archer?
I asked if Lady Fiore was really fit to lead Yggdmillennia.
Why do you ask? She led the talks earlier so well.
You seem to misunderstand.
I acknowledge her as my Master.
Then why?
Does she... Can she really kill someone?
Didn't she fight Sisigo a few days back?
She did. And I have to wonder, could she endure having won that fight?
If she had to finish him herself.
Well...
Mages are abnormal.
But Master has an unbelievably humane morality.
She once had a dog.
It was a lazy, slow dog.
She'd tend to it very thoroughly.
But having an animal in a mage's house... You know what that means.
So I asked her.
Why even bother?
She said,
You have to tend to pets with love!
She was painfully oblivious, which even I wasn't.
She didn't cry then.
But when the two of us dug its grave...
...sorry!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
But why would you care? You're going to leave once the fight is over.
To guide those who go astray is the job of the teacher.
I see.
Sir Caules, once I leave, you will be her only support.
I know.
I'll talk to her about it.
If she still wants to be the head of Yggdmillennia, I'll help her a little.
And there's the ancient law that the little brother follows his sister.
Is there such a thing?
Very much so.
I see. This world is fascinating indeed.
There is still so much to learn.
Maybe?
I think it was well that you were the Master of Berserker of Black.
I'm sure she felt that way too.
Wish he'd drop the teacher act sometimes.
Man, I'm so sleepy.
Is that it? What a letdown.
What spectacle did you expect a Command Spell transfer to be?
What? Dunno, you know, something awesome.
I didn't expect you to actually hand it over. You're so honest.
Give us the last one too!
What?
It's gonna be fine!
I can't promise you that.
Come on, don’t be stingy.
You next, Sieg.
The first time, when we fought against the giant.
You've transformed twice so far.
Is that correct?
Y-Yes.
Command Spells are focused magic created by the Makiri.
It means that once it loses its power, it should disappear.
It didn't.
What?
Nothing.
Huh?
The problem is the last one.
So I gave you two.
That's not fair!
Stop!
Out of my way, trash!
Show some manners!
What'd you say?!
Oh, please.
Thank you, Ruler.
Twice, Sieg.
Are you listening well?
Do not use the last Spell.
Why?
Is that even a question? Your situation is a miracle!
And such a miracle probably isn't free.
Your Command Spells are robbing you of something.
I have nothing to be robbed of. I'll have to disappoint this miracle.
No excuses!
Rider, watch over him!
You betcha! I'll babysit him good!
Is that not the word? Confine?
Sieg, you're a Master now, so be sure to hold Rider's reins.
I understand.
Do not use the last Spell, no matter what.
No such thing as a free miracle.
You know those stories where someone makes a deal with the devil?
Well, one of my ancestors actually did that.
As a result, the Sisigo family rose to might once again, as great necromancers in the Far East.
But the deal was a curse. The Sisigo family will end with me.
Huh? Why not just adopt a kid or something then?
I did. They died because of me. I'm out of options.
If a mage cannot transfer their crest to their child's body, all their skills become lost.
I autopsied them and I learned that if I transfer my crest to anyone,
it generates poison.
The moment my adopted child died spelled the end for the Sisigo family.
So I left home, became a bounty hunter and somehow ended up in this Holy Grail War.
It's just as Ruler said. Miracles aren't free.
So in the end your wish for the Grail is to have descendants?
You seem disappointed.
I even told you the shame of my family.
More importantly,
why are we back here?
Here I thought I'd finally get to sleep in a real bed!
In the enemy's castle? I'm not stupid enough to sleep there!
C'mon!
Listen, Saber. We agreed to cooperate with them.
We had no other moves left.
But do not under any circumstances show them any weakness.
Like I'd ever do that!
Just listen!
Seriously...
We'll be moving separately from them.
What?
Acting in one big unit is dangerous, and they know that.
And while the Servants of Red are busy fighting Ruler and her merry comrades,
we take the Grail!
I knew you didn't give up!
Do you think it's silly?
Who am I to say?
Worry about it when it comes to it.
Heh, you're right.
I have a question though.
Do you remember your dead child?
There are things one must not forget.
Master!
Let's go get that Grail.
His Command Spell didn't disappear.
What does that mean?
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Am I afraid something bad will happen to him?
I don't know. Are these my feelings?
Or is it...
your heart speaking, Leticia?
It's stupid. How stupid can one get?
Salvation of mankind? Give me a break.
What is going on here?
How's the pain?
Coming through!
You!
Master, I brought it!
Thanks.
Please don't stop us. They're all in grave danger.
Open your mouth.
Silly. Her breathing organs are undeveloped.
There are breathing aids in the magic supply cellar.
Bring it, and quick!
Hurry!
I-I'll do it!
Why?
What?
I thought you—
Oh, piss off!
Chaos! Everything is chaos!
Servants! Great Holy Grail War! Greater Grail!
It can all rot in Hell!
Salvation of mankind? We wanted nothing so grand.
All we wanted was a graceful fight of skilled magic and summoned Servants!
Then why? Why did it turn into this?
Is it because you drove Siegfried to suicide?
I don't know.
It's your fault.
But it's not yours alone.
I must've been wrong too.
That's right. You were wrong.
Who do you think you're talking to?
You're haughty and short-tempered. A catastrophe of a human.
You're a decent alchemist though at least.
You could have worded that a bit better.
I doubt you'd want to be compared to the Einzbern.
Our family is not so grand. But we'll catch up.
Is that why you're helping them?
I don't mind that.
So long as something new is born from it.
We don't have time to waste on idle chatter.
You homunculus there!
Oh dammit! You ought to have some simple names at least.
Naming the child is the job of the parent.
I know. I should've added something to make you unconditionally obedient.
I'm sure you have the skill to do that too.
Stop sounding so condescending!
Greetings, my dear fellows, and ah, behold this wonderful weather!
Caster, did you know about it?
What do you mean?
Amakusa Shiro's plan, of course.
Ah, that?
"We are such stuff."
"As dreams are made on, and our little life
is rounded with a sleep."
As for that, I of course knew.
Is he sane?
Sane or not, does it really matter?
He crossed suffering and despair to come to this conclusion.
In which case I'll spare no effort to make it come true.
I'm well aware you're nuts, but I'll ask you nonetheless.
Why do you help Shiro?
Isn't it obvious? Because it's interesting!
This is the salvation of mankind we're talking about!
The salvation of the six billion lives in this world!
Not to mention he's no saint!
He lost his fight and everything with it!
But he didn't despise or abandon people!
That must be what saving mankind is like!
I'll do it. There is no doubt.
Seventeen years and now sixty more.
I devote all my nerves, my cells, my muscles, all my magic if needed.
