|

I see. So that's your story.[sr]Well, good job breaking it all down.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Chaldea's situation, the reason you came to SE.RA.PH, and BB's asinine presentation...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It fits pretty well with what I expected.[sr]It seems protecting you was the right choice.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？1：Why DID you choose to protect me...?
|
||
|
||
？！
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 1]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Happenstance. I saw that a new human had dropped in, so I went to see for myself.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
I knew that BB was paying extra attention to you for some strange reason, so I figured you must be more important than the other Masters or researchers.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
At any rate, is that really your only question?[sr]There's still a lot you don't understand, after all.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_55 0.7]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Let's see... Why don't we start with SE.RA.PH.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[bgm BGM_EVENT_1 0.1]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
SE.RA.PH is a digital labyrinth loosely based off of the Seraphix oil rig...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Yet it's still only an imitation.[sr]The original SE.RA.PH is even bigger.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
You see, the inside of the moon is an entire world made up of photonic crystals called Mooncell Automatons. That world belongs to us rather than humans.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
The original SE.RA.PH was a city-type engine that was created to run this giant Mooncell processor[line 2]
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It was a network that excelled in its role by having many humans, AIs, and NPCs live inside of it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 1]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It was also the site of the Moon Holy Grail War.[sr]You have Holy Grails in your world too, right?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
In our world, the Mooncell itself is an inexhaustible Holy Grail.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It also chooses for itself which human will wield it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
But the Mooncell is just an observational device. It has no way to make value judgments about the quality of humans within it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
So it opted to use a battle to the death as a “fair and impartial standard” for weeding out candidates.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It invited 128 Masters to SE.RA.PH, and had them compete to win the Holy Grail.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It didn't care what the surviving human was like, or what methods they used to survive. It simply decided that whoever survived would have proven their superiority...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
So the Moon Holy Grail War ended up a slaughterfest. And now, things are more or less the same here on this SE.RA.PH too.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 1]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
That said, one difference is that the Moon Holy Grail War was a tournament, rather than this barbaric free-for-all battle to the death.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It lasted for seven rounds, and the administrators decided who would fight who.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
In that sense, it was actually quite rational.[sr]But the one on this SE.RA.PH is anything but.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
“Kill whoever you want, as many as you want.[sr]All that matters is being the last one standing.”
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
That is the sort of trap you find yourself in now: a battle royale.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？1：Then, does that mean BB is...?
|
||
？2：Why do you resemble BB so much?
|
||
|
||
？！
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
BB is a high-grade AI, an information life-form mapped out all the way down to her soul. She was stationed on the moon during the Holy Grail War.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
She was to keep Masters healthy during the war...[sr]A pure, righteous being in charge of their health.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
But then, she bugged out and started to style herself as the Ruler of the Moon.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Her prime directive to PROTECT humans started creating errors, and she now thinks that MANAGING humans is what she should be doing.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
She even went so far as to take control of the Mooncell. However, she messed up and lost to a human.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
As for me, I was an aspect of BB's personality before she cut me away from herself. I'm the Alter Ego that was created from her sense of pleasure.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
That's why the other Alter Egos and I resemble her[line 2]we were all born from her.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 1]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Of course, now that I'm an Alter Ego, she and I are completely separate life-forms.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
So I'm under no obligation to obey her orders.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Honestly, I saved you just to piss her off.[sr]I do hate humans, but I hate BB even more.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 6]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
So, does that satisfy your curiosity? As far as I'm concerned, humans, Masters or otherwise, are no more than a source of experience points.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
You and I are not equals, and we do not trust each other. Is that clear, human?
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
|
||
[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_1 0.7]
|
||
？1：Yes. I won't say anything about how nice you are.
|
||
[bgm BGM_EVENT_7 0.1]
|
||
[charaFace A 5]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Really? Because I could have sworn you just did.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
If you consider a perfunctory summary like that to be “nice,” I have to wonder if you actually have a capybara inside your head instead of a brain.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？2：Yes. By the way, that outfit is really something.
|
||
[bgm BGM_EVENT_7 0.1]
|
||
[charaFace A 5]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Of course it is. It's easy to move around in, streamlined, and, above all, shows off my perfect figure.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
It is chaste, feminine, and in all other aspects a perfect garment for the ultimate Alter Ego. If anything, it deserves even more praise!
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 9]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
In fact, you SHOULD praise it! Go on![sr]I think I deserve at least that much!
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？！
|
||
|
||
[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_7 0.7]
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
...Never mind. Now is not the time. Getting out of here before you dissolve is marginally more important than praising my outfit.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Since you lack a Master's proper detection abilities, I should tell you that there are other Servants up ahead.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
And as I said earlier, every Servant you meet here is your enemy. You'll have to defeat them to stay alive.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 10]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
...Hehe, this one should be easy, though.[sr]He hasn't noticed we're here.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Luckily, one of my many specialties is ambushing my enemies. I'll take him down before he even knows what's happened.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
All you have to do is give me the order, and maybe help out with a Command Spell if things take a turn.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 4]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
...I hate to say this, but I'm afraid I pushed myself too hard on the way here.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Consequently, I'm unfortunately just a tad below my peak performance level.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
If we're really unlucky, I could even end up losing to a lower-class opponent. So make sure you're ready with a Command Spell in case we need it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
If you could be generous enough to use one that lets me unleash my Noble Phantasm at the start of the battle, that would be even better...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
？1：I see you're not much for strategy...
|
||
？2：Isn't that for fighting higher-class opponents...?
|
||
|
||
？！
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 2]
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Oh, shut up. I was just suggesting a more effective plan of attack!
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
Besides, if I win, you win! So don't hold back and do everything you can to support me!
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Meltryllis
|
||
...Okay, the enemy Servant's now within firing range! Let's crush them, [%1]! But keep it elegant!
