I've been summoned as a Servant. It must mean I'm supposed to resume my research here on Mt. Hourai.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
So from here on, I'll be keeping a diary.[sr]After all, if I'm here, then Lady Yu must be, too.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
The first thing I'm going to do is see what's become of Mt. Hourai over the last two thousand-odd years.

|
||
...This is amazing. The people I brought here must have been even more talented than I realized.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
They not only stayed on this mountain for two-thousand two-hundred years, they've continued our research the whole time.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I won't deny that the fruits of their labors have degraded with each passing year...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
But even so, they managed to come tantalizingly close to our ultimate goal.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Unfortunately, it also seems this village died off about forty years ago.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I doubt they went out with any sort of bang. Science has come to dominate the entire world, leaving no more room for secrets to hide.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
So they must have realized they simply couldn't go on like this any longer. Especially since not everyone can live their lives like I did.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Even the imitation people[line 2]the dolls I created so we could perform our experiments without killing real people were no longer usable.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
It seems my successors tried hiring new people to carry out experiments on without killing them, but with little in the way of success.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Near the end, their population had declined to less than a hundred people.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Still, they did make it this far over the last two thousand years...and I'll be damned if I let their achievements go to waste.

I dug up the dolls that were used for manual labor,[sr]and freed the ones that had been sealed away.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
They may act up from time to time, but they're all willing to do what I say.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
So it only makes sense to use them as my pawns.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
All that aside...their faces are huge, huh...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Oh, on a different subject, the thing that surprised me most is that historical records said I was a man.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I knew I had my share of enemies back in the palace, but I never would have expected them to get back at me like this.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
That emperor didn't care if you were a man or a woman. All the emperor cared about was whether you could get the job done. ...Though of course, the emperor was more than a little unusual as well.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
At any rate, history thinking me a man won't have any effect on my ability to see my plans through, so I won't pay it any more mind.

Someone showed up on the mountain out of nowhere today, even though it's in the process of becoming a Singularity.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
It scared me enough that the first thing I did was use the mask to kill her.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I swear, what was she even doing here...? She kind of looked like a mermaid, but I don't think she was.

Well, it happened.[sr]Other Servants have been summoned to this Singularity.
|

[k]
|

＠Xu Fu

But while I expected that, I didn't at all expect that one of them would promise to help me.
|

[k]

I'm sure she has her own goals in mind, but as long as it works out in my favor, that's fine with me.

And now, the other shoe has dropped.[sr]She's finally here.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|

It's not exactly surprising, but it is strange to see her look just the same as she did thousands of years ago.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
She's just as dainty as I remember, and just as strong, too. I was so happy to see her I cried a little.
|

＠Xu Fu
|
||
Now, at last, I finally have the immortal slayer mask in my hands. I have to do this.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...I'm basically the reason this Singularity exists.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
So it should be well within my means to brainwash Servants and use them to do my bidding.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I'll also read the Master of Chaldea's memories and[sr]transform into [&him:her].
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I'll have to do so as a [&female:male] version of [&him:her][sr]thanks to the whole yin and yang thing, but oh well.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Here in this Singularity, anything I don't like can easily be fudged over with my visual and auditory illusions.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Well, that one Servant who controls dreams could be a problem, but I'll find and deal with her too eventually.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I'm scared of fighting and terrible at it,[sr]but I'll do the best I can.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
This mask is so close to becoming a Craft Essence capable of killing immortals I can almost taste it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...Will she hate me for this?[sr]...Will she praise me for it?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Either way is fine with me.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I didn't come all this way for cheap talk, whether angry, happy, or anything in between.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...At least, that's what I thought.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
But at one point, something changed.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Now, I want to keep her close by at all times.[sr]I want to gaze upon her forever.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...Most importantly, those feelings she hated so much had tied me down.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I could end up losing here.[sr]My wish[line 2]Our wish...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...could end up vanishing along with this Singularity.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
But I think...I'm okay with that, too.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I guess if heaven and hell really do exist,[sr]there's no question where I'm headed.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...The villagers, though...they should be okay. After all, they never killed anyone aside from that one mage, and they were hardly a saint.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Then again, I guess having everything disappear into nothingness in the end would be a fitting way for us to go out.

...I need to write this down before[sr]I completely lose my mind.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
I loved her from the bottom of my heart, both platonically and romantically. That's all there was to it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
That should have been enough for me...except it wasn't.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
From a distance, she hasn't changed at all.[sr]But...I know her history now.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Not long after she and I met...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...she met a hero by the name of Xiang Yu.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Part of me was jealous of him,[sr]while another part felt relieved.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
That part was happy to know she found someone she loved, even if they were only together for a short time.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
Even though there's no other creature on Earth as elegant as her, she still found something everyone has in common.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
So even if I should fail, and this body turns to dust...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
...I won't have any regrets.
|
||
[k]
|

＠Xu Fu
|
||
...Our final battle is coming up soon, and only one side will be walking away victorious.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Xu Fu
|
||
So come on, [%1] and Chaldea,[sr]and let's see what you've got.

The truth is, I don't feel any kind of pressure to win.

After all, whether I win or they do,[sr]I know she'll still be happy.

So [%1], if that's you, then I'll ask you here and now: please take care of Lady Yu Mei-ren for me.

And Mash, if you're reading this too, then I'd just like to say I'm sorry for everything...but I really did enjoy the time we spent together.
