[k] [charaFace D 0] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] The key difference between you and me, Columbus, is that I was made to be evil, where you were labeled evil by others. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] But in both our cases, the question is:[sr]Who decided we were evil? [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] For you, I imagine that's the[sr]means of measuring you spoke of. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] I was hoping to determine whether you still follow your original time period's sense of morality... [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] ...or whether you've come to adopt more modern ones... [k] [charaFace D 1] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] ...but I think that can wait for another time. And I'm quite certain there will eventually be such a time.

Well listen to you. Fine, I guess I can't turn you down now. How much do you want? [k] ？1：I want you to finally come clean. ？2：I want you answer the question he put to you. ？！ [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Oh... You mean when he first asked me what I thought he was? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus ...Well, since you've stuck with me this far, I guess it wouldn't be fair to fudge it any longer. [k] ＠Columbus All right, this'll be your payment then. Though I've gotta say, it's a little embarrassing talking about myself like this. [k] ＠Columbus If you want to know what I think I am,[sr]well...I'm afraid all I can say is this: [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 0.3] [wt 0.4] [bgm BGM_EVENT_6 0.1] [charaFace B 1] ＠Columbus I'm myself. I'm the man most people[sr]know as Christopher Columbus. [k] ＠Columbus Back when I was younger, I went by Cristoforo Colombo, and in España, I'm known as Cristóbal Colón... [k] ？1：No fair! ？2：That's not what I meant, and you know it! ？！ [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus Haha, well, I had to try. But if you're[sr]not satisfied with that, I'll keep going. [k] ＠Columbus Given my current position, it might be easier to think about why I was summoned as a Servant. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Columbus Was it because I'm a sailor?[sr]A merchant? A villain? Of course not. [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Columbus Hell, I just turned down invites for all those clubs 'cause I didn't want to be pigeonholed into any of those particular categories. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Columbus So then, why was I summoned as a Servant? [k] [wt 0.8] [charaFace B 1] ＠Columbus I think it's because I made my dream come true. [k] ＠Columbus I think it's because I proved to the whole world that, as long as you never give up, you can make your dream a reality, no matter what that dream may be. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Still...if we're talking about your Servant status, well, you are technically a Rider, right? [k] ＠Mash So while you may not be a pirate, I still can't help but think the sailor part must be pretty relevant, since it involves riding a ship... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus Hah, now we're taking things literally, are we?[sr]Well, if you want to think about it in terms of riding... [k] ＠Columbus ...you could say that I never disembarked from my dream. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash ...! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus No matter what sort of hardships I encountered, or how many other people I stepped on, or how long it took... [k] ＠Columbus ...I believed I'd eventually arrive at my goal as long as I kept moving forward, and never stopped believing till the very end. [k] ＠Columbus You know, thinking about it now... [k] ＠Columbus ...I might just be the best example there is of a Servant that made their dreams come true. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 13] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash ...I see. That's certainly...one way to look at it. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus Oh, and while we're on the subject, let me make one more thing clear about the role I have to play. [k] ＠Columbus Like I just said, the only thing I've got going for me is my ability to follow my dreams. [k] ＠Columbus But you know, my dream from when I was still alive already came true. I don't need to discover the New World all over again. [k] ＠Columbus So then, what dream should I pursue now that I'm a Servant? What do I set my sights on and chase after with all I've got? [k] ＠Columbus Well, I think the answer to that question[line 2]the thing that gives dream-chasing Servants something worth chasing[line 2]is probably you, Master. [k] ？1：...! ？！ [charaFace B 1] ＠Columbus 'Course, I still have a mind and a will of my own. [k] ＠Columbus I'll still go after any easy money there is to be made, go wherever I want, and do whatever I want. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Columbus But all that said... [k] ＠Columbus If you point me towards something that can match discovering the New World... [k] ＠Columbus ...and if I can think of it as my own dream... [k] [charaFace B 1] ＠Columbus ...then I'll do whatever it takes to get there.[sr]Guaranteed. [k] ＠Columbus So as long as you're on board my ship,[sr]I'll make sure you get there too. [k] ＠Columbus I don't care if it involves restoring humanity, achieving world peace, or even conquering the world. [k] ＠Columbus The only thing I've got going for me is my tenacity.[sr]As for what I use it for, well...that's up to you. [k] ＠Columbus It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about the end result. Good, bad, it's all the same to me. [k] ＠Columbus All I care about...is following my dream until it becomes reality. [k] ？1：...I'll remember that. ？！ [charaFace B 1] ＠Columbus Good. Anyway, thanks again for helping me out today. Give me a shout the next time you head to the treasury.

[k] [charaFace A 4] ＠Mash Even though he changed the world, he only did so because he was chasing his own dream. [k] ＠Mash That must be why he doesn't like having his actions, or his ethics, or the good and bad sides of his deeds, labeled one way or the other. [k] ＠Mash Because that would just be him[sr]going by someone else's metric. [k] ＠Mash The only things he's concerned with are his own dreams and desires, as determined by his own way of thinking. [k] [charaFace A 0] ＠Mash So...if we can come up with a good dream for him...one that lines up with our own goals... [k] ＠Mash ...then I think he might just end up[sr]being a tremendously capable ally. [k] [charaFace A 8] ＠Mash On the other hand...if we show him the wrong sort of dream by mistake, he'll probably end up doing things that most would describe as evil. [k] ？1：True. We'd better be careful... ？！ [messageOff] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_6 1] [fadeout black 1.5] [wait fade] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 3] [scene 11010] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] [fadein black 1] [wait fade] [wt 0.7] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] ...Welcome. What can I do for you this fine day? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus Well, I've been thinking about[sr]what you said the other day... [k] [charaFace B 11] ＠Columbus ...and I've decided to join your club after all.[sr]Here's my registration form. [k] ＠Columbus I figured, if I'm gonna join any club around here,[sr]this one looks like the best fit. [k] [charaFace B 12] ＠Columbus Course, I already went and declined while Master was present, plus the other clubs I turned down. [k] ＠Columbus So I'd appreciate it if you kept my membership here just between us. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] Heh, by all means. This is precisely the outcome I expected. But, as a matter of interest, and do be straight with me about this... [k] [charaFace D 5] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] ...You're doing the same thing with the Pirate Club and Merchants Association as well, aren't you? [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] I trust you fed them the same line, and similarly asked them to keep your membership secret? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus ... [k] [charaFace B 9] ＠Columbus Hahaha! Was it that obvious!? [k] ＠Columbus If only I'd had a smart guy like you on my crew instead of Pinzón or Bartolome! [k] [charaFace B 12] ＠Columbus Still, I didn't technically lie[sr]to Master and Mash, you know? [k] ＠Columbus I am me. It's not accurate to say I'm just a pirate, or just a merchant, or just a villain. [k] ＠Columbus But...if you're gonna say I'm all of them, well,[sr]that's fine with me. Accurate, that's for sure! [k] [charaFace B 7] ＠Columbus So...if you're that smart, Professor, do you also know why I went to all the trouble of getting Master involved and making a show of turning you all down? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] Of course. The answer couldn't be simpler: to gain all you could, personally, from your membership to each club as was possible. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] After all, you only act to satisfy[sr]your own personal desires. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] You brought Master along to spread the belief throughout Chaldea that you would not be joining any of the Servants' clubs. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] Then, when you went to a club and said you would make an exception just for them, you would be assured a special position. A shadow member, if you will. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] In doing so, you will be able to gain insider knowledge while staying out of the spotlight. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] Naturally, there are many merits to such an approach. For one, you can act with greater impunity, knowing you will be safe even if the club should go south. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 11] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Columbus So, now that you know all that...are you still willing to let me join? [k] ＠Columbus 'Cause if you are, you should know that I'm still planning to hide in the shadows and suck up all the juiciest bits for myself. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaFace D 5] [charaTalk D] [charaFadein D 0.1 -312,0] [charaFace B 11] [charaFadein B 0.1 312,0] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] It's quite all right with me. If that's how you want to play, I can think of any number of ways to make use of you. [k] [charaFace B 9] ＠Columbus Haha! You've got guts, telling a guy you're gonna make use of him right to his face. [k] [charaFace B 10] ＠Columbus ...I think you and I are going to get along just fine. Pleasure to join your club, criminal gentleman! [k] [charaFace D 5] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] The pleasure's all mine. After all, you achieved tremendous success and changed the world itself merely by following your own selfish dreams and desires. [k] ＠D：[servantName 202300:Archer of Shinjuku:Moriarty] As far as I'm concerned, that is a world-class criminal accomplishment. I daresay I'm rather envious...
