[k] @Agravain You will be punished later, Sir Gawain.[sr]You are to wait in your manor until then. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Gawain ...How unfortunate. I cannot see the king even in a time like this? [k] @Agravain Naturally. It is merely the escape of some refugees.[sr]We can handle it ourselves. [k] @Agravain Or, Sir Gawain, are you saying you wish to trouble our king? [k] @Gawain ...I would never do such a thing. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.4 1] @Tristan ...Looks like there was some misconduct.[sr]This blunder is unfitting of you, Sir Gawain...

[k] [charaFace C 0] @Tristan That isn't kindness, Sir Mordred.[sr]That is disrespect. [k] @Tristan It is by the order of the king that the Holy Selection take place. Death awaits any failure, Knight of the Round or otherwise. [k] @Tristan There is no need to wait for the king's verdict.[sr]Agravain, may I cast judgement on Sir Gawain myself? [k] [charaFace D 5] @Mordred Hey, that's harsh. House arrest should be punishment enough for him. No need to cut his freaking head off, right? [k] [charaFace C 4] @Tristan Mordred... This is why I say you don't understand the king's heart... [k] @Tristan You would wish our king to personally take the head of a Knight of the Round? I am sad... such would indeed be the end of the world. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Tristan For our king's sake, I must take the life of my friend...[sr]Do you understand, Sir Gawain?

[k] @Gawain Go ahead and take my head. The sharpness of Failnaught would do so without doubt. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Tristan Indeed. I can cut it so cleanly that no blood will spill out. It would be ill-mannered to stain the throne, after all. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mordred Hey, wait, are you serious!? You really are![sr]Hey, stop it, I said stop! [k] @Mordred Tristan cutting off Gawain's head?[sr]Father would never allow such a thing! [k] [charaFace D 2] @Mordred “If you are to die, I will butcher you myself!”[sr]I'm sure that's what King Arthur would say! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Agravain ...No, wait. Put down your bow, Sir Tristan. [k] @Agravain I find it hard to believe that Sir Gawain would meet such resistance from refugees, much less allow their escape. [k] @Agravain Did something unforseen happen? Circumstances may dictate Sir Gawain's punishment be eased. [k] @Agravain What say you, Sir Gawain? Were the rebels who attacked you at the gate truly refugees? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] @Gawain I have nothing particular to report. There were simply two unknown Servants mixed in with the crowd. [k] @Gawain Both likely wandered in by the call of the Holy Grail. They are not the kind of Heroic Spirits who could threaten us. [k] [charaFace B 2] @Agravain I see.

[k] [charaFace B 0] @Agravain Allow me to make a report, my king. [k] @Agravain Half a year has passed since your rule began.[sr]Our Holy City is more prosperous than ever. [k] @Agravain Markets are full of bustling voices, wheat grows thick, flowing waterways glimmer, and flowers bloom in the gardens. [k] @Agravain The sky is perfectly clear and blue, and the desolate winds of famine cannot reach our lands. [k] @Agravain We know that everything... everything is all thanks to our king's rule. [k] @Agravain O Lion King, you are revered by all. [k] @Agravain Your rule must be free of all impurity. This latest disturbance will be treated as a mere mishap. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Lion King Flattery is unnecessary, Agravain.[sr]I came to hear a report from one of my knights. [k] @Lion King Now, state your business, Gawain.[sr]I will believe your words. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Agravain ... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Gawain Yes, Your Majesty. The Holy Selection was carried out correctly. [k] @Gawain As a result, we discovered three compatible candidates. [k] @Gawain Two were secured and given a warm welcome as citizens of the Holy City. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Gawain However... The remaining one was lost.[sr]This was due to my negligence in supervision. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Gawain I also allowed the refugees to resist, losing 12 Enforcement Knights in the process. The enclosure was broken and over 100 refugees fled. [k] @Gawain They split up. One group headed to the mountains. [k] @Gawain The other was sheltered by suspicious merchants.[sr]Their destination remains unclear. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 2] @Mordred Suspicious merchants?[sr]That sounds like Agravain's problem. [k] @Mordred Does that mean they haven't been wiped out? [k] [charaFace B 1] @Agravain ...It would seem so. Indeed, we still haven't confirmed the death of one merchant leader. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Gawain That concludes my report. I am prepared for any judgment you may hand down. [k] @Gawain I already dedicated my life to you[line 3][sr]Please make your decision, my king. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Lion King I see. Very well then, raise your head, Gawain.[sr]Ah, you may remain on your knees. [k] @Lion King For you have no need to ever stand again.

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Lion King Indeed, it is not your place to ask. [k] @Lion King Do you wish to measure up against Sir Gawain's toughness?

[k] @Agravain If they managed to repel Gawain, they are likely led by the foreign Master. [k] @Agravain The Master causing a revolt at the gate is hereby considered a rebel. Send pursuers their way, and destroy them. [k] @Agravain Whatever happens to the refugees accompanying them as a result of that is simply... inevitable. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Tristan I see. That plan sounds like something you'd do, Agravain. Who will you entrust the mission to?

[k] @Agravain Raider Knight Lancelot. Contact him. He should be making his way back to the Holy City.

[k] @Bedivere To survive, we require more cooperation.[sr]Thus, we would like to borrow your strength. [k] @Refugee Man We'd love to help... But only a few among us can actually fight.

[k] @Bedivere We need trust to enter the mountainous region to the north. As you can see, some of us are the same race as those in the Holy City. [k] @Bedivere We can't enter a region controlled by the mountain people. A battle would ensue the moment we tried to. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Bedivere Combat is the last thing we want.[sr]If possible, we too would like them to shelter us.

This is just my speculation, but... [k] @Dr. Roman Originally, the Sixth Singularity would have seen the Crusaders overrun the Holy City, resulting in an endless crusade. [k] @Dr. Roman ...A never-ending war for the Holy Land that would lead to the collapse of humanity. [k] [communicationCharaFace 3] @Dr. Roman The Crusader army, transformed into a Demon God, would end up doing battle with Chaldea... Or rather, [%1]. [k] [communicationCharaFace 5] @Dr. Roman But, as you can see, the Crusaders were defeated before we even arrived... [k] @Dr. Roman At the hands of King Arthur, striving to defend humanity. [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Fou Foooou... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 5] @Dr. Roman As a result, the Singularity was never repaired.[sr]In fact, the distortion grew even stronger. [k] @Dr. Roman ...The reason being that King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table built their Holy City and took control of this era. [k] @Dr. Roman They make no effort to save this land as it burns away; they only seek to enrich their own city. [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Bedivere ...That's likely the case. It may be true that the inside of the Holy City is a utopia... [k] @Bedivere However, Servants are mere shadows of their souls. They should not exist on this earth forever. [k] @Bedivere Heroic Spirits should only exist temporarily.[sr]The earth is for those living in the present. [k] @Bedivere The wise King Arthur should be fully aware of this... [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ...Yes. I hate to say this, but the Round Table has gone mad. The knights are now distorted existences who must be defeated. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 5] @Dr. Roman ...So that's why you decided to fight Sir Gawain? [k] @Dr. Roman By the way, it seems like you knew about Chaldea already. Was Merlin the one who sent you, by chance? [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Bedivere Indeed. I heard all about your situation from him. He told me that those who intend to repair the Singularity will appear. [k] @Bedivere He said to be on the lookout for a Romani Archaman from Chaldea, and to lend you strength if our interests align. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Merlin!? By Merlin, do you mean the court mage of King Arthur!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 10] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Bedivere Correct. He has shut himself away, however, speaking of how his preparations were not yet complete, or something of that nature. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 3] @Dr. Roman Yeah, sounds just like the legend. Merlin should be confined at the edge of Avalon. [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Wait... But... Senpai, I feel like Mr. Merlin[line 3] [k] ?1:I feel like we met him before once... ?2:Smug... No, I can't remember! ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Bedivere ...That about explains it all.[sr]I am a knight who arrived here late. [k] @Bedivere When I arrived, the Knights of the Round Table had taken the Holy Land from the Crusaders and turned it into the Holy City. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Bedivere ...I've come this far to correct their deeds.[sr]Even if it means cutting down my former friends. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ...Sir Bedivere... [k] ?1:We'll fight together. ?2:Let's meet the king together. ?! [charaFace A 13] @Mash Yes. We also have a mission to restore humanity. [k] @Mash The Sun King may have the Holy Grail, but the cause of the Singularity this time is the Holy City[line 3] [k] @Mash As such, we must enter the Holy City, and face the Lion King. [k] @Mash Isn't that right, Master? [k] ?1:We're running away now, though. ?2:It's going to be rough, but we'll manage. ?!

[k] @Da Vinci I talked to the refugee leader. He said we'll reach the village of the mountain people if we continue north for two days. [k] [charaFace D 1] @Da Vinci If we can make it, we should be safe for a while.[sr]We can plan our comeback there!
