[charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Habetrot No problem. I like that you're so polite.

They're all from Norwich. Some want to join our army, others just want to live here. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Percival Even this is only about half of everyone who showed up. There were so many that we had to have the rest stay at Norwich for the time being. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Count Peperon That's right. I managed to sneak some inside Londinium under cover of night yesterday, but that won't work again. [k] @Count Peperon Now that Woodwose is sending out patrols, the rest will have to come once this battle's over, right? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 9] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Pepe! You're here, too? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 7] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Count Peperon Of course, hon.[sr]Almost time for the final battle, isn't it? [k] @Count Peperon So I thought, why just sit around in Norwich waiting for a report when I could come see the action for myself♡ [k] ?1:Thanks for coming, Pepe. It's good to have you here. ?2:Thanks for everything, Count. ?! [charaFace D 4] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_94 1.0] @Count Peperon Oh, no no no. You shouldn't go thanking me just yet. [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] @Count Peperon I have my own goals, after all. I'm really just using you as bait here. [k] [charaFace D 6] @Count Peperon Once the fighting begins in earnest, you're staying in Londinium until it's over, right? [k] @Count Peperon And if Beryl knows where his target is, he's bound to turn up sooner or later. [k] [charaFace D 7] @Count Peperon For some reason, I can just tell when and where he'll try to strike. [k] @Count Peperon He loooves going after his victims when their guard is down, right after they've won a hard battle.

[k] @Count Peperon This Lostbelt isn't like the others. It's not going to go away, even with its Tree of Emptiness destroyed. [k] @Count Peperon It was never part of human history long enough to be pruned away in the first place. [k] @Count Peperon Rather, this world is just as strong as Proper Human History[line 2]a new human history, not an empty one. [k] [charaFace D 6] @Count Peperon Ironic that fantastical creatures like faeries became their own human history, isn't it? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 25] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Da Vinci So you're saying this place isn't a Lostbelt, but a Lostworld, huh. I can buy that. [k] @Da Vinci Britain's Tree of Emptiness may have burned down during the attack on Olympus... [k] @Da Vinci But it had long since stopped functioning. [k] @Da Vinci I think this Lostbelt escaped the Tree of Emptiness's cosmic fantasy about two-thousand and nineteen years ago... [k] @Da Vinci The first year of the Era of the High Queen, when Morgan began ruling Britain. [k] @Da Vinci It's not the Tree of Emptiness keeping this Lostbelt going. It's Morgan herself. [k] @Da Vinci But...that also means that once we defeat her, this Lostbelt will go back to the way it was. [k] @Da Vinci And that should mean it'll eventually be pruned away just like the others. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 6] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Count Peperon That's true, at least for Britain.[sr]But not for its residents. [k] @Count Peperon In the other Lostbelts, the fates of the people who lived there were inextricably tied to their surroundings... [k] @Count Peperon But that's not the case for this Lostbelt. [k] @Count Peperon If nothing else, we can be sure that faeries who were born during the Era of the High Queen won't disappear even if they leave this Lostbelt. [k] @Count Peperon It makes sense, really, since this world is just as strong as Proper Human History. That's the difference I'm trying to point out. [k] ?1:You mean...they can immigrate? ?! [charaFace D 7] @Count Peperon That's right. Humans who were made[line 2]I mean, born in the land of the fae can only live here... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.0] @Count Peperon But if they wanted to, the faeries of this land could immigrate to Proper Human History. [k] @Count Peperon Now do you get it? There's a possible future where you can all live together in peace and harmony. [k] ?1:...! ?! [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Um... So... [k] [charaFace A 7] @Altria ...What's that all mean, Da Vinci? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_1 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 24] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Da Vinci It means that even if defeating Morgan results in this Lostbelt disappearing... [k] @Da Vinci ...you could still survive if you came with us to the outside world. [k] @Da Vinci At least once we figure out how to get past that wall of light. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Count Peperon Yup. You could either disappear with this place, or start a new life in Proper Human History. [k] @Count Peperon The choice is yours, Altria. In fact... [k] [charaFace D 6] @Count Peperon ...you could abandon this whole Child of Prophecy thing and just leave right now. [k] @Count Peperon There's a whole other life waiting for you on Chaldea's Storm Border, if you want it. [k] [messageOff] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk off] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadeinFSL C 0.1 0] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadeinFSR A 0.1 2] [wt 1.0] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 24] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Da Vinci ...I'm kind of amazed you said that, Pepe. Especially with Percival standing right here. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 6] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Count Peperon Oh? I wouldn't have said it at all[sr]if Percy hadn't been here. [k] @Count Peperon I've already told him about Proper Human History, the Lostbelts, Chaldea, and the Trees of Emptiness. [k] @Count Peperon That's why I just told you, [%1],[sr]and Altria about this as well. [k] @Count Peperon I wanted to get this all out in the open, so there'd be no hard feelings. Pretty fair of me, right? [k] ?1:...What do you think, Percival? ?2:...How do you feel about this, Percival? ?! [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 3] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Percival Well... I don't know nearly as much as the rest of you, so this may be pretty simplistic... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Percival But if Altria wants to stop being the Child of Prophecy, that's entirely her choice. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Really!? Even though you went to all the trouble of creating the Round Table Army!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 11] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Percival Really. I chose to build the Round Table Army on my own. [k] @Percival Nobody forced me to do it, and I don't intend to force anyone else to join. [k] [charaFace C 10] @Percival ...And besides, I really don't deserve to be their commander. Not after some of the things I've done. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Percival So please believe me when I say you don't need to give up what you want for us. [k] @Percival Besides, now we know that we can still help the faeries of Britain escape to the outside world, even without defeating the queen. [k] @Percival And isn't just knowing that's an option a big step forward for Faerie Britain? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria W-well, yeah, I guess so... [k] [charaFace A 12] @Altria But, um... I still don't think that's good enough. Morgan will never just sit back and let everyone walk away. [k] @Altria If we're really going to save the faeries of Britain, there's no getting around the fact that we'll have to defeat Morgan le Fay. [k] ?1:Gotcha... [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?2:Where'd the “le Fay” part come from? [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk depthOff] [charaDepth H 1] [charaDepth E 2] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 23] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Da Vinci I'm pretty sure that means “the faerie” in the legend of King Arthur. [k] @Da Vinci The “Fay” part changed over time to “Fae” in modern-day English. Although... [k] [charaPut H 0,-200] [charaFadeTime H 0.2 0.5] @Da Vinci (I haven't seen a single other faerie call Morgan that since I've been here...) [k] [charaFadeout H 0.2] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?! [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Count Peperon I see. So you still want to defeat Queen Morgan, just like the prophecy said, huh, Altria? [k] [charaFace D 7] @Count Peperon Looks like I'm with you to the bitter end, then. [k] @Count Peperon If, as a Crypter, I'm going to settle things with Beryl... [k] @Count Peperon ...then I guess as [%1]'s nosy senpai,[sr]I have a right to interfere in your affairs, too. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Count Peperon Okay, that's enough serious talk for now. And while I trust this goes without saying, for the record... [k] @Count Peperon ...if Altria plans to continue on her path as the Child of Prophecy, we'd best keep this conversation between ourselves. [k] @Count Peperon It wouldn't be very good for morale if the rebels found out they could just escape the world itself, would it?
