[k] [charaFace C 5] @Da Vinci As you can see, in preparation for tomorrow's battle, everyone is asleep, though. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Thanks for all your hard work, [%1]. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Da Vinci It's the same as usual, but this time I wonder if you've become a little more [&masculine:feminine]? [k] ?1:That sounds suspicious... Something's changed? [charaFace C 3] @Da Vinci Something. We've been busy with so many things, we haven't had time to say much. [k] @Da Vinci Since it's just the two of us, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to try and catch up. [k] ?2:The same goes for you, Da Vinci. [charaFace C 1] @Da Vinci Is that so? I only roamed between life and death a bit... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Even in a situation like that, maintaining a smile is what it means to be the Mona Lisa, though... [k] [charaFace C 1] @Da Vinci Yes. If it has increased my appeal, I suppose it was worth it. [k] ?! [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Well, incidentally, I did have something else. [k] [charaFace C 5] @Da Vinci [%1], are you hiding something? Not from me, but from Roman. [k] ?1:Ugh! ?2:...How do you know? ?! [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci You made eye contact with Mash, right? You seemed surprised. [k] @Da Vinci This is the territory of Egypt. The conversation between us won't reach Chaldea. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Da Vinci If it's all right, if there's anything wrong, I'd like for you to be able to tell me. [k] ?1:...Actually... ?2:...Roman is... ?! [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [wait fade] [scene 28820] [charaFace C 0] [wt 1.0] [fadein black 2.0] [wait fade] @Da Vinci I see...The 2004 Holy Grail War... Yes, I didn't know that either. [k] @Da Vinci I was summoned to Chaldea much later. I only met the previous director very briefly. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Da Vinci Near the end of that year, Marisbury died. I didn't know about the relationship between Romani and the former director. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Oh, speaking of which, a Heroic Spirit was summoned into Mash shortly before my summoning. [k] @Da Vinci At that time, Mash's condition got worse, and the former director apparently asked Romani for help. [k] @Da Vinci Romani learned of Heroic Spirit possession experiments at that time, and seemed to regret his foolishness. [k] @Da Vinci He had been in Chaldea for some years, but never realized that that section existed. [k] [charaFace C 5] @Da Vinci Of course I was shocked, too. Then angry. I wished I had never been summoned to Chaldea. [k] ?1:But then why did you stay in Chaldea? ?! [charaFace C 5] @Da Vinci ...Well, there's a chance that Heroic Spirit summoning could disappear in the future, and I had a scientific curiosity, so I couldn't turn it down. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Da Vinci But the biggest reason was Romani. [k] @Da Vinci I knew from one look. “Ah, this is the kind of guy who overworks himself.” [k] ?1:Overwork himself...? ?2:Not that he had a secret? ?! [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Romani is only human, not a mage. Just like you, he experiences various emotions when dealing with challenges. [k] @Da Vinci He possesses greater than ordinary gifts, but he's not a genius to surpass other people. [k] @Da Vinci That kind of person was carrying humanity on his back, and was becoming desperate. [k] @Da Vinci Romani himself didn't know why he would have to do such a thing. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Da Vinci He never said it, but I understood that he was at his wits' end... Because I'm a genius. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci That's why I chose to stay in Chaldea. The point is I couldn't turn my back on Romani. [k] ?1:...Is the Doctor a bad person? ?2:...Is the Doctor a good person? ?! [charaFace C 4] @Da Vinci He's neither, and he's both. I mean, that's what human beings are. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci ...But Romani is holding a trump card. I will tell you that. [k] @Da Vinci Just as you suspect, Romani is hiding something. That's... Well, it's like the Holy Grail. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Da Vinci He's secretly holding onto a means to grant one wish. But he's too scared to even think about it. [k] ?1:Why? ?! [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci It's simple. If he uses it, he'll disappear. That's why he can't use it. [k] ?1:...You mean, he'll die? ?! [charaFace C 4] @Da Vinci [line 3]Yeah. Something like that. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci ...Anyway. Dr. Roman's past is a mystery, but he doesn't have any ulterior motives. He will be your ally to the end. [k] @Da Vinci That alone I'd stake my title of “genius” on. So please don't pick on Romani too much. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Da Vinci As you know, his will is like tofu. If he loses confidence, it will have an effect on our chances of survival. [k] ?1:...Yes, you're right. ?2:...Thank you, Da Vinci. ?! [charaFace C 5] @Da Vinci What, I should be thanking you. It helps you're a thoughtful person. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Da Vinci Okay, you should sleep. Our negotiations with King Ozymandias are tomorrow. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Da Vinci It's surely going to be a long day. Make sure to prepare for battle. [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 2.0] [wait fade] [soundStopAll] [end]
