[k] @Amor That's the god of the ocean in Celtic mythology, ruler of the Otherworld, and an enormously talented mage. [k] @Amor He owns a tremendous variety of magic items and bestows them upon heroes he deems worthy. [k] @Amor And, he is the foster parent of Cú Chulainn's father, Lugh, the sun god.

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Astraea Hold on. A Divine Spirit requires a human vessel to materialize as a Servant.

[k] @Manannan And with Amor's help, I Rayshifted here. [k] @Manannan Thanks to the magical energy repository she gave me[line 2]that is, the Holy Grail[line 2]I had no problem maintaining my materialization. [k] @Manannan Then, just as I was about to set off for a bit of soul-searching... [k] @Manannan ...I heard a voice. [k] @Astraea A voice, huh. [k] @Manannan It was no more than a tiny whisper. If there had been any wind that day, I wouldn't have heard it at all.

[k] @Manannan ...I found a tiny, half dead sprout, not long for this world. [k] @Medusa You don't mean...! [k] @Medusa Was that the Theobroma sprout from the memoir? [k] @Astraea It must have been. So, it just barely managed to survive... [k] @Astraea Now I see what happened. [k] @Manannan I know you can't save every single life. Maybe I should have just let this one go. [k] @Manannan But, I am a generous soul... I simply didn't have the heart to ignore its plight. [k] @Manannan So I went to bestow just a tiny bit of life upon the sprout doing its very best to survive, but then... [k] @Manannan ...[sr]... [k] ?1:What happened next? ?! @Manannan ...[sr]... [k] @Manannan It stole the Holy Grail from me, along with all its magical energy. [k] @Bazett What!? [k] @Bazett No way! That's ridiculous! [k] @Bazett How could a single plant possibly do something like that? [k] @Manannan I honestly don't know, myself. [k] @Manannan Maybe, rather than choosing me, who'd just been holding onto it... [k] @Manannan ...the Holy Grail chose to grant the wish of the sprout clinging to life. [k] @Manannan However it happened... [k] @Manannan Once the Theobroma sprout had taken the Holy Grail, this place became a minute Singularity.

[k] @Manannan ..the blast from the Holy Grail sent us both flying, and when I came to, I was far from here. [k] @Manannan I had to fix matters. [k] @Manannan So, to do that, I went about and destroyed the other Theobroma trees while I looked for Bazett. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Manannan You can imagine how relieved I am to have found her. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Medusa H-hang on. You've been destroying other trees? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Astraea Does that mean that tree we found wasn't the, uh, root of the problem?

I've destroyed three trees like it so far. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Manannan Not one of them had the Holy Grail. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Manannan I'm guessing that the trees scattered across this region have spread their roots to form a network... [k] @Manannan ...and they're using it to move around and share the Holy Grail and the vitality they've stolen. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Astraea A tree that creates monsters and has its own network of support trees helping it... [k] @Astraea If it's using a Holy Grail to do all that, then it's going to be a major problem. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Manannan Indeed. [k] @Manannan Which is why I need to find the tree with the Holy Grail and finally destroy it. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Manannan I know I'm responsible for things getting so out of hand to begin with... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_11 1.5] [charaFace B 5] @Manannan ...but could I ask you for your help fixing this mess? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Astraea Hehe. Don't be so hard on yourself. Is that all you're concerned about? [k] @Astraea ...[sr]... [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_4 0.1] @Astraea Our whole reason for coming here was to repair this minute Singularity.

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Medusa What Astraea said. [k] @Medusa Our other mission was to locate the Rogue Servant.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Amor I see... If what Manannan says is true... [k] @Amor ...then yes, recovering the Holy Grail from the Theobroma tree should be enough to repair this minute Singularity. [k] [charaFace D 7] @Amor However, there's no telling what else may happen between now and then. [k] @Amor So I think it's best if I continue to focus on supporting the rest of you by monitoring the situation. [k] @Amor That's okay with you, right, [%1]?
