Where am...
Finally awake?
Assassin... I...
Maybe you should've stayed asleep.
The truth is... you will die.
I guess so.
I cut off your sense of pain.
Death is a bit unsightly otherwise.
Thank you...
But why am I on your lap again?
You should feel honored.
There's still time until it collapses.
Aren't you angry at me?
Because you were defeated?
Or because you deceived me from the beginning about becoming empress?
Both.
Don't worry, I forgive you.
I was defeated too.
At any rate, I'm tired of being angry all the time.
Maybe you want to see me angry.
Not really.
Please, tell me one thing.
Yes?
By going with the original plan, were you planning to keep on deceiving me?
I was going to apologize.
And if you were not to accept that...
You were going to kill me?
No way.
I would have offered you my life.
What a faint-hearted answer coming from my Master.
You are a fool.
Maybe I am.
It appears that the fool's wish will become a reality.
I would have liked to see that world.
The world after salvation...
That is your punishment.
Resign yourself.
Punishment?
Oh, yeah... a lot of things happened.
That's why I will at least give you a reward.
Thank... you... Semiramis...
I should be the one thanking you after accepting a kiss from a poisoner.
Thank God... I was able to meet you...
It was... truly a blessing...
My sympathy, my body, my love...
Those were the things people sought every time they reached me.
The only one who asked for my strength to fight by his side, were you, Shirou.
You were the only one who never looked away while calling my name.
But, why do I always end up in this situation?
Good grief...
How unpleasant.
This place...
Master!
Are you okay?
Breathing properly?
Feeling good?
What a relief...
Rider, what's this place?
I think we're inside the Greater Grail.
Inside the omnipotent wish-granting Grail...
Master!
You're the last Master and Servant who survived this Great Holy Grail War, correct?
Who are you?
I'm a reproduction of the individual that went by the name of Justeaze.
Uhm, then you're the Greater Grail itself?
Let's say I'm a terminal of her personality.
It's unusual for another homunculus such as myself to possess ambition.
Well then, your wish.
It is possible for you to not grant Amakusa Shirou's wish?
I'm already directing all my resources towards his wish.
It will take more time because the outer shell was damaged,
but that won't change the decision of bringing the Third Magic to this world.
To the whole world...?
But...
Are you dissatisfied?
Isn't too soon for humanity to attain immortality?
Maybe.
Just like the miracle the envoys called Servants obtain,
there's a high risk of humanity discarding their spiritual nature.
Wait a second!
What will be of humanity then!?
If the desire to cross the ocean of the unknown disappears,
their existence would be bound to that of this planet.
He wished for a world with eternal peace, but at the same time he gave up on its future.
We have to do something about it!
But, what are we supposed to do!?
The Greater Grail will keep on fulfilling wishes as long as it exists in this world.
Master?
Master, your hand!
Your Command Spells disappeared, along with their protection.
Will I really turn into a good-for-nothing dragon?
Yes.
Can you heal him, Greater Grail?
Yes. It is possible.
Really? What a relief.
My Master will be able to live a prosperous life.
Live? I would be the only one "normal" in a world where everybody is immortal...
Master?
Answer me, Greater Grail!
What if I use that magical energy to–
It is possible.
W-What are you saying...?
We can't stop the Greater Grail.
But now we can do something about it.
That's not what I'm asking you!
If you do that, you will–!
I won't die.
That's more painful than dying! Nobody can't ask for something like that!
I didn't save you hoping this would be your fate!
I wanted... you... to be happy...
It didn't last long, but I was able to witness various things.
Humans are complicated, but at least I'm certain of one thing.
Rider, both you and Ruler believed in humans.
I don't want the struggles nor the desperate efforts of people to become worthless.
That's why I'm asking for this wish.
Everything would be fine if I were the one doing it.
There are things only you can do, Rider.
I want you to help the world in my place.
To help someone, to make someone happy... that kind of stuff.
You got me there.
I have no choice but to obey one of my Master's orders.
Please.
Don't worry! I'm your Servant after all!
Master, do your best!
You too, Rider!
Now, please grant my wish.
Are you really okay with it?
Yes, that's what I wish for.
I mean....
It fills me with pride!
It's collapsing faster than I thought!
Go faster!
Easier said than done!
Little Hippo already had enough for today!
Watch out for the deb–
Where am I!?
Are you awake now?
What's going on?
Sorry, no time to explain!
Hold tight!
As if I would let go!
Heroic Spirits, humans, magi and even homunculi!
They're all made of the same materials!
That is, humans and dreams are all interlaced!
I can't stop writing! I just can't stop!
Even in this age is the same!
Just a little more, Hippogriff! Don't fail me now!
Please, wait!
What about that young man, what about Sieg!
I will put you both safe for my Master.
That's the role of a Servant.
Astolfo!
This is nothing.
I'm one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne, dammit!
Rider!
Go!
We did it! We're out!
Laeticia...
Laeticia, look! Look at that!
I see, I see! Now I understand!
Humans are beings constantly aiming for the sky...
Then, it's possible to reach that illusion, even if it's a fake!
It's finished!
They reached their marvelous conclusion!
This will be my latest work!
But still, I really wanted the role of protagonist...
Is that dragon really Sieg?
Yup! My Master did it!
"If the Greater Grail really grants immortality...
...then I'll take it to a place where such thing isn't needed."
That's the wish my Master chose.
Could that place be The Reverse Side of the World?
Exactly.
Immortality is leaving to a place human hands can't reach.
That's something only the Phantasmal evil dragon Fafnir can do!
You really are leaving.
Amazing!
Will those two ever meet again?
But of course!
Because that's what they wish for!
How does it feel to lose, Caules Forvedge?
It feels like crap.
The Association feels indebted.
That's why we can have this conversation now.
Well, thanks.
And in your side only three Masters survived.
You mean "only two."
Should've been three.
What about Fiore Forvedge?
My sister isn't a magus.
She doesn't belong to this world anymore.
We know your lineage declined,
but there was no problem in admitting your family as members of Clock Tower.
If were not for your issue with the Yggdmillennia...
So, we're getting ostracised.
Sadly for me, it appears I'm destined to look after problem children like you.
How annoying.
So...?
Welcome to Norwich.
The formalities of magecraft we teach must be a bit apart from what you know,
but the more you learn, the better.
Does that mean...
Well done, Caules!
This is the best luck you can get!
Because you'll get instruction from the number one teacher in Clock Tower!
The "Great Big Ben London Star" himself!
How many times must I tell you to stop with that stupid name.
I'm not really digging this...
By the way, are you interested in atomic batteries?
Atomic...?
Apparently, the Association just averted a crisis.
And all began with a Servant who wanted to attain Magic.
Amakusa Shirou.
He remained for sixty years as a Servant in this world, hoping to change it.
Really... heroes are those who do things driven by their ego.
Like you, dude.
Hey, Laeticia!
Astolfo!
Hi there, leaving already?
Yes. Thanks for everything until now.
Don't sweat it, we caused you a lot of trouble.
Not at all.
I was able to experience an incident that none in this world could.
Even if I was just watching...
What are you saying?
You did well.
That was all Saint Jean–
Thank you!
You bravely offered to help, so this is all thanks to you.
I can be here now because you made that first step.
I'm really, really grateful to you.
What will you do now, Astolfo?
Me?
I'll do what my Master asked me to.
He wanted me to get involved with this world.
He asked me to bring a share of joy to the people in this world.
I... I'd like to do the same.
Really? Maybe we'll see each other somewhere.
Yes! Someday, somewhere.
I looked up to him.
To me, he had a dazzling shine.
Maybe that's why she misunderstood.
That what I was feeling was something I didn't know.
I wonder if she ever realised the truth.
It wasn't me the one harboring those special feelings.
I just admired and respected Sieg's way of living.
For that reason, I want you to meet him with peace of mind.
Because your feelings towards him weren't wrong.
Okay!
At the end, this Great Holy Grail War wasn't a story of Servants.
Neither was a story of Masters nor magi.
Lastly, it wasn't a story of Saints.
This was a story where people opposed, resented and prayed.
But more than anything, it was a story of people fulfilling their wishes.
It was a pilgrimage to the other side, but this journey also felt like a curse.
The sanctuary of the beasts who ran away from the world of men.
Another world, covered with a layer called The Human Order.
A promise I made long ago...
Even if we forget it, I kept on walking...
...holding that promise inside my chest.
And here he is.
A gentle dragon who robbed immortality from people.
Please, wake up.
You will never...
...be alone again.
Must have been a long journey.
Not as long as yours.
Let's go.
I mean, there's no need to wait anymore.
You're right. A new world is waiting for you.
Before that, I must tell you something important.
I am in love with you.
