I'm Amor, the god of love.

Of course, it would usually be impossible to summon a Divine Spirit like myself as a familiar...

[charaFace Q 5]

＠Da Vinci
I sure do!
[k]

[label lblConf2]

＠Da Vinci
First, putting aside the fact that everything I'm about to tell you is straight out of myth...
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Amor originally comes from ancient Greece.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
The ancient Greeks believed that a number of primal gods were born at the same time the world was created, and one of them was Eros, the god of erotic love.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
But then, as the mythology was developed further, Eros was effectively reinterpreted as Aphrodite's son.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
As more time passed, and Rome incorporated Greek mythology into its own...
[k]

＠Da Vinci
...Eros and Amor, the Roman god of love, were eventually conflated.
[k]

[charaFace Q 0]

＠Da Vinci
Suffice to say, Amor's got a lot of history, even for a god.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Speaking of which, Amor actually has yet another name, too. One I'm pretty sure you've all heard before.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
You know, the adorable little cherub who carries arrows of love, much like Artemis?

Cupid.

＠Amor
Yes, I'm sure you all do know me as Cupid,[sr]the cherub of love.
[k]

[charaFace D 15]

＠Amor
But that doesn't matter right now.
[k]

＠Amor
The Spirit Core that makes me me may be Amor, but as far as I'm concerned, the only one I consider to be the lord of the heavens is God the Father.
[k]

＠Amor
So really, I'd rather you didn't call me Amor or Cupid.
[k]

＠Amor
I'm not a Greek god of love, but rather an agent of the Holy Spirit[line 2]a missionary of love, if you will.

And that would mean your current sense of self comes from your vessel, rather than from Amor.

The little girl is counting on us here. We can't let her down.

＠Cú Chulainn
As Servants who've been around much longer than she has, don't you think the manly thing to do is to live up to her expectations?
[k]

...(Sigh) I've never cared one way or another for doing things because they're “manly.” That seems like a stupid, self-defeating way to approach life.

But, if Mash needs my help, then I guess I'll just have to step up.

Attaboy! You know, you're a hell of a lot more understanding than your grown-up self!

Yes, yes, I'm sure. Just remember that being TOO understanding can make you indifferent to just about everything.

All right, there you have it.

You go ahead and help Da Vinci out in the Command Room, missy. We'll watch Master's back.

...which means I have to charge a...modest usage fee for every shot I fire.

It comes to about this much.

I really thought I had done my homework about what the going rates were these days, too... But, I'm afraid that's going to be a problem.

We can't defeat the Bitters without the bazooka, but I simply won't pay for its cartridges myself...

There's plenty of small bits of magical energy floating around that can't become Bitter Shadows.
[k]

＠Caren
You won't need my bazooka to handle them, and as they say, a penny saved is a penny earned.
[k]

＠Caren
So I'd like you all to work tirelessly to eliminate those bits, collect materials, and donate them to me.
[k]

[charaFace D 6]

＠Caren
You don't mind doing that, right? It's all to restore peace to Chaldea, after all.

Good. Then I'll be counting on all of you to keep those donations coming.
