[k] @Andersen Rest for a little.[sr]I heard you haven't rested at all since your arrival, right? [k] [charaFace H 0] @Andersen Pushing yourself doesn't equate to good work. Be it[sr]writing or hunting for the Holy Grail, occasional breaks are needed. [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFadein H 0.1 0] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] @Mash Thank you.[sr]But...there's no time. [k] @Andersen Fool. Are you a workaholic, too?[sr]Can you not forget the weight of what you carry? [k] [charaFace H 1] @Andersen Then let me tell you a story to pass the time.[sr]A story of how Nursery Rhyme and I materialized. [k] [charaFace A 13] @Mash Um...you mean Alice, right?[sr]That's what she called herself... [k] [charaFace H 0] @Andersen No, Nursery Rhyme.[sr]You left for the Yard before I could tell you. [k] @Andersen I didn't get to say this, but both Nursery Rhyme and I[sr]appeared "from the demonic fog." [k] @Andersen With no Master,[sr]and no summoning ritual, either. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Mordred Yeah, so was I, come to think of it.[sr]Jekyll's no Master, and there was no summoning ritual. [k] [charaFace E 4] @Mordred I just woke up one moment in the fog.[sr]Huh, do Servants just naturally appear like that? [k] ?1:Maybe they do. @Dr. Roman No, no, no![sr]That's impossible! [k] @Dr. Roman If you can just appear... No, be summoned on your own,[sr]you're something way more powerful than a Servant! [k] ?2:I don't know about that... [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Yes, it's normally impossible. [k] @Mash If you mean[line 3]naturally appearing Heroic Spirits,[sr]there aren't many, but there are a few such records. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Mash But when that happens,[sr]they don't have a personality of their own. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash When a Heroic Spirit appears as a Servant,[sr]they're always summoned from the Throne by a ritual. [k] ?! @Dr. Roman Listen, in the other three eras we went to, the Servants[sr]were always summoned under the Grail's influence. [k] @Dr. Roman It's absolutely impossible[sr]for a Servant to just appear on its own! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Andersen So the Servants aren't appearing from the fog, then?[sr]That leaves one possibility. [k] @Andersen The fog was "created by the Holy Grail."[sr]Or, what creates the fog is influenced by the Holy Grail. [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFadein H 0.1 0] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] @Mash That's...what it would mean.[sr]That's the logical conclusion. No contradictions. [k] [charaFace H 1] @Andersen Logic applies to most things in the real world.[sr]About the only thing it doesn't apply to is love. [k] [charaFace H 0] @Andersen Use your imagination. Then, you'll anticipate[sr]most things, and sometimes even predict them. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 2] @Mordred Haha. Love?[sr]Like you'd know, you punk. [k] @Andersen I don't want to hear that from a kid who doesn't even[sr]know love. I'm a virgin. I know all about love and romance. [k] [charaFace E 5] @Mordred ...Huh? Hmm. Huh?[sr]That doesn't make sense, does it? Hmm? [k] ?1:I don't know, but those are amazing words. ?2:Hmm? It's true, it doesn't... ?! [charaFace H 1] @Andersen Have you forgotten? I am Andersen.[sr]My storytelling makes me a Caster Heroic Spirit. [k] @Andersen If a swordsman's skills lie in battle, an author's[sr]skills lie in letters, words, indolence, pain, and love. [k] @Andersen Be it improv poetry or a crazy deadline,[sr]a true author is capable of anything when serious. [k] [charaFace H 0] @Andersen I am a creative author.[sr]Not many can match me for imagination. [k] @Andersen I won't lose a debate to an amateur.[sr]If you're not going to rest, go for a late-night patrol. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Mordred Yeah. You're right! If we can nab that "P"[sr]and make him talk, we can end this. [k] [charaFace E 1] @Mordred I'm going for a patrol then.[sr]I'll take a walk to the edge of the city area. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Oh, Senpai...[sr]Mordred is about to leave. [k] ?1:Let's follow. ?2:It's better to act than do nothing. ?! [charaFace A 0] @Mash Right! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.4] [se ad59] [wt 1] [seStop ad59 2] [wt 0.3] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 1] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 2] [charaFadein H 0.1 0] @Jekyll You're good at manipulating people, huh?[sr]But thanks, they were under a lot of strain. [k] @Andersen It's nothing[sr]compared to writing a moving story. [k] [charaFace H 4] @Andersen I just had to "motivate" them.[sr]...But I don't understand. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Jekyll Hmm? [k] [charaFace H 0] @Andersen What I showed them may be an illusion. A wisp within a[sr]match light. Logical or not, it's no different from a fantasy. [k] [charaFace G 1] @Jekyll You just used your imagination, right?[sr]So[line 3] [k] @Andersen Don't be stupid.[sr]That was just a "play" on words.

[k] [charaFace E 0] @Mordred I always did it on my own. Well, this makes it easier,[sr]so I don't mind... Oh, there's some already. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 0.4] [bgm BGM_EVENT_3 0.1] @Dr. Roman I just can't match Mordred for speed.[sr]I see them too. Enemy responses! [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash Roger.[sr]Master, your orders!
