Looks like that Thēseus guy plans on staying in his castle, just like we thought.

＠Ptolemaîos
Yes. They'd rather not fight in our castle if they can help it. Especially when the lord can summon shadow knights and change the castle's structure at will.
[k]

＠Ptolemaîos
Like I said before, in this Singularity, the attackers will always be at a disadvantage.
[k]

？1：Then why'd we attack Taigong Wang?
？2：So why'd we make the first move then?
？！

Because we have you, of course.

[charaFace B 9]
＠Ptolemaîos
Oh, don't worry. You're not our weakness this time. The opposite, in fact.
[k]

＠Ptolemaîos
You don't seem to be aware of it yourself, but shadows or not, the ability to summon Heroic Spirits at will is an incredible force multiplier.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]
＠Ptolemaîos
When you take the average Heroic Spirit's combat abilities into account, it's like pulling a siege engine out of your back pocket.
[k]

＠Ptolemaîos
Normally, you'd have to strategize for weeks to scrounge up the firepower for a battle like this, but you have everything you need. It's practically cheating.
[k]

＠Ptolemaîos
Of course, even then, I'd still only put our odds to win at around thirty percent.

＠Ptolemaîos
That's quite good for a siege. Usually, you'd need at least three times the enemy's numbers to get odds like that. But, even then, I'm still not seeing a clear path to victory for us.
[k]

？1：Is Thēseus that strong?
？！

[charaFace B 11]
＠Ptolemaîos
No. In terms of raw combat ability, Taigong Wang and Huang Feihu were considerably stronger.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]
＠Ptolemaîos
Whether you look at them individually or as a unit, they were a rare and uniquely powerful team.
[k]

[charaFace B 16]
＠Ptolemaîos
However, Thēseus and Asterios do have the worst possible combination of Noble Phantasms for us.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]
＠Ptolemaîos
So no matter how much stronger we may be, it won't matter unless we can somehow neutralize that advantage.
[k]

＠Ptolemaîos
Because if we can't, we'll just end up stuck inside that labyrinth again, with no more hope of escape.
[k]

＠Ptolemaîos
And let's not forget that in Greek myth, Thēseus and the Minotaur were no less bitter enemies than Zeus and Typhon.
[k]

＠Ptolemaîos
So seeing them teamed up like this strikes me as very strange.

I suppose that's no great shock. Even food and drink taste different when you're ill.

＠Ptolemaîos
Anyway, do you have any thoughts about this, Sugitani?

[charaFace C 0]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
Yeah, I guess. Well, I got the same thought I always do.

Can your Noble Phantasm shoot Thēseus?

[charaFace C 7]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
...Ha.
[k]

[charaFace C 4]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
THAT'S your question? Of course it can. I can shoot anybody with it, doesn't matter who or how great a hero they are.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
In fact, guys like you are some of the easiest targets around.
[k]

＠Sugitani Zenjubou
I don't care if you're a hundred paces away. You might as well have a giant bull's-eye on your head sayin', “Shoot me!”
[k]

[charaFace B 2]
＠Ptolemaîos
Oho. So I'm an easy target, am I?
[k]

[charaFace C 16]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
You ever wanna get shot, you just let me know. I'll put one between your eyes anytime.
[k]

？1：Well, uh, I'm glad you two are enjoying yourselves.
？2：Man, Heroic Spirits really do see things differently...

？！

[charaFace C 3]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
What comes next is the problem. I can shoot him, sure, but I don't think that'd kill him.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
The way Mystics work, older things are way better. Doesn't matter if we're talking about magecraft or weapons.
[k]

＠Sugitani Zenjubou
Much as I hate to say it, a newer weapon like a matchlock ain't exactly top-tier for a Servant's tool kit.
[k]

[charaFace B 17]
＠Ptolemaîos
Yes, I understand that. It's one of the prime rules governing Servants, after all.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]
＠Ptolemaîos
Still, your Noble Phantasm isn't an actual matchlock, but the embodiment of the skills and legends you acquired when you were alive, right?
[k]

[charaFace C 17]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
Hm? Uh, I guess?
[k]

？1：So, your skills and legends turn into your Noble Phantasm?
？2：So when you fire your matchlock, you're firing your skills and legends?

？！

[charaFace C 0]
＠Sugitani Zenjubou
I mean, I haven't exactly got hard data to back that up, but my gut says...probably?

My matchlock's definitely not like any other weapon, but calling it my Noble Phantasm doesn't feel right, either.

In that case, we may have a way to succeed.
