@Meltryllis
|

I see. So that's your story.[sr]Well, good job breaking it all down.
|

[k]
|

@Meltryllis
|

Chaldea's situation, the reason you came to SE.RA.PH, and BB's asinine presentation...

[charaFace A 0]

@Meltryllis

It fits pretty well with what I expected.[sr]It seems protecting you was the right choice.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?1:Why DID you choose to protect me...?
|
|||
|
|

|
?!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace A 1]
|

@Meltryllis
|

|
Happenstance. I saw that a new human had dropped in, so I went to see for myself.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
I knew that BB was paying extra attention to you for some strange reason, so I figured you must be more important than the other Masters or researchers.

At any rate, is that really your only question?[sr]There's still a lot you don't understand, after all.

Let's see... Why don't we start with SE.RA.PH.
|

|

[bgm BGM_EVENT_1 0.1]

@Meltryllis
|

|
SE.RA.PH is a digital labyrinth loosely based off of the Seraphix oil rig...
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
Yet it's still only an imitation.[sr]The original SE.RA.PH is even bigger.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
You see, the inside of the moon is an entire world made up of photonic crystals called Mooncell Automatons. That world belongs to us rather than humans.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
The original SE.RA.PH was a city-type engine that was created to run this giant Mooncell processor[line 2]
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
It was a network that excelled in its role by having many humans, AIs, and NPCs live inside of it.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace A 1]
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
It was also the site of the Moon Holy Grail War.[sr]You have Holy Grails in your world too, right?
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
In our world, the Mooncell itself is an inexhaustible Holy Grail.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
It also chooses for itself which human will wield it.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace A 0]
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
But the Mooncell is just an observational device. It has no way to make value judgments about the quality of humans within it.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
So it opted to use a battle to the death as a “fair and impartial standard” for weeding out candidates.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
It invited 128 Masters to SE.RA.PH, and had them compete to win the Holy Grail.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
It didn't care what the surviving human was like, or what methods they used to survive. It simply decided that whoever survived would have proven their superiority...
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
So the Moon Holy Grail War ended up a slaughterfest. And now, things are more or less the same here on this SE.RA.PH too.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace A 1]
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
That said, one difference is that the Moon Holy Grail War was a tournament, rather than this barbaric free-for-all battle to the death.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
It lasted for seven rounds, and the administrators decided who would fight who.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
In that sense, it was actually quite rational.[sr]But the one on this SE.RA.PH is anything but.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
“Kill whoever you want, as many as you want.[sr]All that matters is being the last one standing.”
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
That is the sort of trap you find yourself in now: a battle royale.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?1:Then, does that mean BB is...?
|
|||
|
?2:Why do you resemble BB so much?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace A 0]
|

@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
BB is a high-grade AI, an information life-form mapped out all the way down to her soul. She was stationed on the moon during the Holy Grail War.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
She was to keep Masters healthy during the war...[sr]A pure, righteous being in charge of their health.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
But then, she bugged out and started to style herself as the Ruler of the Moon.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
Her prime directive to PROTECT humans started creating errors, and she now thinks that MANAGING humans is what she should be doing.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
She even went so far as to take control of the Mooncell. However, she messed up and lost to a human.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
As for me, I was an aspect of BB's personality before she cut me away from herself. I'm the Alter Ego that was created from her sense of pleasure.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
That's why the other Alter Egos and I resemble her[line 2]we were all born from her.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace A 1]
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
Of course, now that I'm an Alter Ego, she and I are completely separate life-forms.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
So I'm under no obligation to obey her orders.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
Honestly, I saved you just to piss her off.[sr]I do hate humans, but I hate BB even more.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace A 6]
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
So, does that satisfy your curiosity? As far as I'm concerned, humans, Masters or otherwise, are no more than a source of experience points.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
You and I are not equals, and we do not trust each other. Is that clear, human?
|

[k]

|

|
|

[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_1 0.7]

?1:Yes. I won't say anything about how nice you are.

Really? Because I could have sworn you just did.
|

|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
If you consider a perfunctory summary like that to be “nice,” I have to wonder if you actually have a capybara inside your head instead of a brain.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?2:Yes. By the way, that outfit is really something.

[bgm BGM_EVENT_7 0.1]
|

|
[charaFace A 5]
|

@Meltryllis

Of course it is. It's easy to move around in, streamlined, and, above all, shows off my perfect figure.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||

It is chaste, feminine, and in all other aspects a perfect garment for the ultimate Alter Ego. If anything, it deserves even more praise!

|

|

[charaFace A 9]

In fact, you SHOULD praise it! Go on![sr]I think I deserve at least that much!

Since you lack a Master's proper detection abilities, I should tell you that there are other Servants up ahead.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|

|
@Meltryllis

And as I said earlier, every Servant you meet here is your enemy. You'll have to defeat them to stay alive.

Luckily, one of my many specialties is ambushing my enemies. I'll take him down before he even knows what's happened.

[k]
|

@Meltryllis

All you have to do is give me the order, and maybe help out with a Command Spell if things take a turn.

[charaFace A 4]

...I hate to say this, but I'm afraid I pushed myself too hard on the way here.
|

|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
Consequently, I'm unfortunately just a tad below my peak performance level.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Meltryllis
|
|||
|
If we're really unlucky, I could even end up losing to a lower-class opponent. So make sure you're ready with a Command Spell in case we need it.
|

[k]
|

|
|

@Meltryllis

If you could be generous enough to use one that lets me unleash my Noble Phantasm at the start of the battle, that would be even better...
|

?1:I see you're not much for strategy...
