The city of Kyo, currently in the midst of the Imperial Holy Grail War.
[k]

＠
Lately, foul creatures have even been prowling the city's main roads.
[k]

＠
And recently, something even stranger has been seen there: my steel Caster.
[k]

＠
The steel monster was said to be a great, hulking beast that stalked the streets of Kyo at night, and that towered over women and men alike.

...Now, he will never be seen again. All that remained of him was a faint mass of glittering light, which shortly vanished.
[k]

＠
Following my defeat, the marks on my left hand disappeared, never to return.
[k]

＠
I do not doubt that people will be glad to hear these new rumors.
[k]

＠
They will no doubt say it was our valiant officers who vanquished the red-eyed steel monster.
[k]

＠
But I know the truth.[sr]The steel monster was no monster at all.
[k]

＠
The worst thing he ever did...was protect me...

＠Fujiwara-no-Kaoruko
All right, I shall be back later!
[k]

＠Fujiwara-no-Kaoruko
My duties at the palace keep me quite busy even when I'm not writing, you see.
[k]

＠Fujiwara-no-Kaoruko
Oh, no need to worry about my protection.
[k]

＠Fujiwara-no-Kaoruko
My family's carriage is embedded with special talismans, so I'll be all right with just my servants.
[k]

＠Fujiwara-no-Kaoruko
You are still free to stay here as long as you like.[sr]I won't breathe a word to the main Genji house.
[k]

＠Fujiwara-no-Kaoruko
All right, I shall see you later.[sr]Please, enjoy your breakfast!

Lady Kaoruko has been hiding her tears, but I noticed some signs of redness around her eyes.

I doubt she was able to get much sleep last night...

Or at least, if she says she's all right,[sr]that's good enough for me.

＠Sakata Kintoki
I think...the way I see it...
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Sometimes, puttin' up a brave front's a way to help yourself to feel better.

＠Sakata Kintoki
It's kinda like armor for your heart.[sr]Least, that's what I think.
[k]

[charaFace A 1]

＠Sakata Kintoki
So I'd rather see this as Kaoruko findin' herself a damn fine set of armor!

＠Sakata Kintoki
Yeah... That's how I'm choosin' to see it!

...Encase our dreams in steel armor[sr]forged from our own ideals, huh.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Man, that's good. That's real good.

What is my dream?[sr]What is it I wanna do?

＠Sakata Kintoki
It's no use. No matter how much I think[sr]about it, I keep comin' up short.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I may be grown up on the outside, but I'm an empty vessel inside, where it counts!
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Things were a lot simpler back on the mountain. If I didn't like somethin', I'd just grab it and toss it!
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I laughed, I wrestled, I ate, I slept.[sr]That's all there was to it.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
What's wrong with me?[sr]What is it I'm missin'?
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
It's been a few years since I was named one of Raikou's Four Heavenly Kings and charged with defendin' the city...
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
And I still have no idea!
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I dunno if I'll ever be cut out to be a Master.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I'm empty. I got no reason to fight anywhere.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I want somethin' else. Somethin' right.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
A dream? Sure, I'll take that. Gimme one of those.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
...What'd you call it before,[sr][%1]? A morphing hero?
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Hell, I'll take that, too. The point is I ain't got any real substance to me.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
And Babbage? He had it in spades. I really envy that.

I don't quite get what he meant by all that, but I could tell he shined bright. Damn bright.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Yeah... I think he really embodied that word you introduced me to. What was it again? ...Oh, yeah.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
He was golden!

That's right. That old steel guy was real golden.
