[k] ＠Evil Dragon Of course, that must be exactly why it was thee,[sr]among all, who was summoned here. [k] ？2：I'm sorry, who are you again? ＠Evil Dragon ...My name is Fafnir. I am the evil dragon who[sr]once made off with the miracle of humankind. [k] ？！ ＠Evil Dragon So, what sayest thou? [k] ？1：Uh, what if I say no? ？2：I'm guessing I can't leave until I solve this? ？！ ＠Evil Dragon Nay, shouldst thou choo[line 2]ugh... Nope.[sr]You can refuse if you want. If you do, that's that. [k] ＠Evil Dragon ...Yeah...[sr]I should've known. [k] ＠Evil Dragon It was incredibly arrogant of me to call you[sr]here out of nowhere and ask you to fight. [k] ＠Evil Dragon Don't worry about it. I'll figure something else out.[sr]I'm terribly sorry to have bothered you like this. [k] ？1：That's so considerate... Tell me what's going on. ？2：I want to know everything that's happening here. ？！ ＠Evil Dragon ...I see.[sr]Very well then, I shall start at the beginning. [k] ＠Evil Dragon ...[sr]... [k] ＠Evil Dragon ...This is more complicated than I thought...[sr]Hold on, let me just get everything straight... [k] ？1：It's okay. I'm not going anywhere. ？！ [messageOff] [wt 0.4] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_1 1.5] [fadeout black 1.5] [wait fade] [wt 1.5] [fadein black 1.5] [wait fade] [bgm BGM_EVENT_2 0.1] ＠Evil Dragon ...Uh, first off, let me explain[sr]where you are right now. [k] ＠Evil Dragon This is the Reverse Side of the World. Hmm, or maybe a hidden place on “the other side,” so to speak, is more accurate? [k] ＠Evil Dragon Basically, you can think of it as a mythical[sr]land and the home of magical beasts. [k] ＠Evil Dragon Your world, the human world,[sr]is built on human laws. [k] ＠Evil Dragon ...This world, however,[sr]is entirely removed from those laws. [k] ＠Evil Dragon This may be difficult to understand, but your world came to exist once humanity had covered the entire planet, like a cloth. [k] ＠Evil Dragon But before that could happen,[sr]beings called Phantasmals fled here. [k] ＠Evil Dragon Of course, I hear that Phantasmals have been showing up in your world again as well, now that humanity is in such disorder. [k] ？1：Sorry to interrupt, but...you mean like wyverns? ＠Evil Dragon Yes, that's right. [k] ？2：Phantasmals? Like what? ＠Evil Dragon Wyverns, bicorns, chimeras...[sr]Creatures like that. [k] ＠Evil Dragon They're supposed to live here, in this world, though. They shouldn't be visiting yours as though it were some sort of café. [k] ？！ ＠Evil Dragon Now, this land is in grave danger,[sr]thanks to the Greater Grail I brought here. [k] ？1：Greater Grail...? ？2：As in, the one that was in Fuyuki...? ？！ ＠Evil Dragon You really DO know your stuff. [k] ＠Evil Dragon I don't know what happened in your world, but in mine,[sr]I had no choice but to bring the Greater Grail here to the Reverse Side. [k] ＠Evil Dragon Otherwise it would have caused[sr]all kinds of problems, you see. [k] ＠Evil Dragon There was a problem, though. A certain Noble Phantasm partially destroyed the Greater Grail. [k] ＠Evil Dragon Even so, things were fine until now... [k] ＠Evil Dragon ...but then, even though I didn't do anything,[sr]it just kind of...broke. On its own. [k] ？1：Suuure it did. ＠Evil Dragon No, really, I didn't do anything.[sr]I'm sure I didn't... [k] ＠Evil Dragon I may have a few gaps in my memory, but I'm fairly certain nothing happened during those gaps. [k] ？2：You expect me to believe that!? ＠Evil Dragon ...I mean...I don't think I did, anyway.[sr]I'll admit my memory is a little hazy, but even so... [k] ？！ ＠Evil Dragon A-at any rate, the real problem... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 1.5] ＠Evil Dragon ...is that a Holy Grail War is taking[sr]place inside the damaged Greater Grail. [k] ？1：Did you say...a Holy Grail War...? ？！ [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] ＠Evil Dragon Yup. [k] ＠Evil Dragon A miniature war between Servants is being waged inside the very Greater Grail they want to control. [k] ＠Evil Dragon I haven't actually seen any of the battles myself, but I know how many there have been. Just looking at the numbers here, it's been over ten thousand now. [k] ＠Evil Dragon At first there were only two Servants. By the 567th Holy Grail War, there were four, and by the 2313th, there were seven. [k] ＠Evil Dragon ...That was when my control of the[sr]Greater Grail started to waver. [k] ＠Evil Dragon That is to say, someone is trying to take over the Greater Grail and use it for themselves. [k] ＠Evil Dragon If something isn't done, the Greater Grail will continue to spin out of control until it's completely destroyed. [k] ＠Evil Dragon And that would be...a problem. [k] ？1：Problem? ？！ ＠Evil Dragon Yes, a big problem. You see, this Greater Grail[sr]isn't mine. I'm just holding on to it. [k] ＠Evil Dragon I don't have any right to use it myself,[sr]and I can't let anyone else use it either. [k] ＠Evil Dragon I have to take good care of it. [k] ＠Evil Dragon If the Greater Grail went out of control, that would cause a great deal of trouble for all the Demonic Beasts who live here... [k] ＠Evil Dragon It's even possible that an event like that, or its aftermath, could damage one of the anchors that holds the world together. [k] ＠Evil Dragon If the cloth[line 2]or texture, if you like[line 2]is torn, the laws of physics will be turned on their heads, and the Age of Gods will end up mixing with modern times. [k] ＠Evil Dragon And that...wouldn't end well for anybody. Humans and Demonic Beasts would only end up hurting each other. [k] ＠Evil Dragon So I'm asking you now:[sr]Will you help me save this world? [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 0.7] ？1：...Okay, I'll give it a shot. [bgm BGM_EVENT_4 0.1] ＠Evil Dragon Really...!? [k] ？2：If there's something I can do to help... [bgm BGM_EVENT_4 0.1] ＠Evil Dragon ...!

[k] ？1：So...I'm gonna get to be a dragon rider!? ＠Evil Dragon Yes. You may be the first to do so since[sr]humanity began using the Gregorian calendar. [k] ？2：Oh man, I'm gonna get to be a dragoon! ＠Evil Dragon Ah, that is a popular misconception. A “dragoon,”[sr]I am afraid, is not one who rides a dragon. [k] ＠Evil Dragon Though I do admit,[sr]it has a very nice ring to it. [k] ？！ ＠Evil Dragon Anyway, just climb up and grab one of my scales.
