[k] [charaFace A 1] @Duryodhana Yes...this must be the price of fame. That's how I'm going to think about it. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus (Blank stare) [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 10] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sion Duryodhana, eldest of the Kauravas, the hundred princes born to the Kuru clan. [k] @Sion And also a child of ill omen said to be an avatar of the demon Kali, if I am not mistaken. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Duryodhana Hey, you've got that last part all wrong! That was just a nasty rumor the enemy spread to ruin my reputation. At least, I'm pretty sure it was. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Duryodhana Trust me, no other prince has ever been as universally adored as I was. [k] @Duryodhana But never mind that now. You know Karna? [k] ?1:We're acquainted, yes. ?2:The Hero of Benefaction and dependable child of the sun? Yup. ?! [charaFace A 3] @Duryodhana I see, I see. Sounds like you and he have fought together then. He's a lackey[line 2]I mean, flunky[line 2]I mean, dear friend of mine. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Duryodhana You probably already know this, but I was the one who discovered him. He wouldn't be who he is if not for me. [k] @Duryodhana So whatever respect or admiration you have for him, you oughta have even more for me. Got it? [k] ?1:I actually know Arjuna as we[line 2] ?! [charaFace A 4] @Duryodhana S[messageShake 0.05 4 3 0.3]top![wt 0.5] Don't bring up the five princes now.[sr]My heart can't take it... That is, it makes me sick. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Duryodhana Listen. It's not that I'm scared of them[line 2]it's DEFINITELY not that[line 2]but at least wait until I'm more in the mood. [k] [charaFace A 8] @Duryodhana Right now, I'm still reeling from my True Name coming out so...casually. I really am. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus I still don't get what you're talking about, but it sounds like your name is better known than you thought? [k] [charaFace B 0] @Āyus True, I can see how that would be a disadvantage in battle, but what can you do? [k] @Āyus I mean, it's not like you were going to be able to keep it hidden forever. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Duryodhana Yeah, let's just leave it at that! Turns out I'm so famous it even scares me! End of story! [k] [charaFace A 12] @Duryodhana You[line 2]and more importantly I[line 2]don't need to think about anything else. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_146 1.5] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 6] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sion To be frank, knowing your True Name does not change things for us one way or the other. [k] @Sion Now, if you have both calmed down, would you tell us more about what is going on around here? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_MAP_57 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus Let's see... Where to begin...? [k] @Āyus Well, the system currently running is called an AI Holy Grail War, or just a Grail War... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Duryodhana That's where you're starting? Come on, these two are a Master and Servant. I'm sure they already know that much. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus But, they're not AIs like we are. And there are two of them. [k] @Āyus So I think it's possible that they might be here because of an anomaly of some kind, even if they have nothing to do with the system itself. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Duryodhana Hahaha, do you really? That's ridiculous. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 14] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Kama It feels like you're mocking us. I don't like it. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Kama But anyway, it sounds like we'll never get anywhere unless we hear what this Grail War is about. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 10] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sion In the Holy Grail Wars we are familiar with, seven Masters and seven Servants fight one another in a deadly battle royale. [k] @Sion The survivor gets a Holy Grail, which they can then use to grant any wish they want. [k] [charaFace C 2] @Sion Does that match your understanding? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus Hmm? Hmm... Well, I don't think ours isn't exactly about granting wishes. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Āyus For one thing, the whole point of this system is to perform maintenance on this world. [k] @Āyus Completing these Grail Wars is what keeps the Paper Moon operating properly. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Āyus So that's the main reason we hold them. [k] ?1:You hold Holy Grail Wars to keep the Paper Moon's world running smoothly...? ?! [charaFace B 0] @Āyus If that doesn't make sense to you, then you must really be anomalies. [k] @Āyus That means you should go see someone who can tell you more than I can. [k] @Āyus Like the central governing AI who serves as the overseer of the Grail Wars. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 18] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Kama Central governing AI? What're you talking about? I thought you led the AIs. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @E:Āyus No, I'm basically just the representative of the Repair AIs. [k] @E:Āyus The AI I'm talking about is much more advanced than we are. She oversees all of the Paper Moon's different types of AI. [k] [charaFace E 1] @E:Āyus We can take you to see her right now if you like. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Duryodhana Huh? Are you serious? Why should we go to all that trouble? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus Oh don't be so petulant! We still owe them a debt for saving us, don't we!? [k] ?1:But if you're fighting a Grail War, isn't that Caster going to attack you again? ?2:But what if that Caster comes after you again? ?! [charaFace B 5] @Āyus Well, we should be okay if we go straight there. [k] @Āyus I don't think Caster will come after us again so soon, not after retreating like that... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Āyus ...and we should be safe where the central governing AI is, since it's a neutral location. Fighting is prohibited there. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sion If possible, I would also like to know more about this world's geography. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus I see. So you don't even know that much, hm? [k] @Āyus Then I'll tell you about the different zones, the partitions on the way. [k] [charaCrossFade B 1098270370 1 0.3] @Āyus Hehe, you know, this is kind of fun![wait charaCrossFade B] [k] @Āyus I've never walked and talked with people before. Everywhere I go has always just been for work. [k] @Āyus Ooh, is this one of those picnic things I've heard about? This is amazing! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Duryodhana No, I'm pretty sure this isn't a picnic. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_MAP_57 1.5] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Āyus Oh shush. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Āyus Okay, I'm going to go get ready. I'll be right back, okay? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 6] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_77 0.3] @Sion Fine, then I will tell [%1] more about[sr]this while we wait. [k] @Sion [%1], would you mind closing your eyes for a bit? [k] ?1:Hmm? ?!

[charaTalk C] [charaFace C 9] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Sion Since we are already connected via Etherlite, I threw in an information processing program as a bonus. [k] @Sion It will automatically organize the information we acquire. I will set it up so you can easily access it with just a thought. [k] @Sion Of course, I do not want to waste its capacity, so I will not send you any especially bulky data... [k] @Sion ...but I think it should still help you make sense of the current situation, so please make use of it. [k] ?1:Thanks, Sion! ?! [charaFace C 5] @Sion No problem.
