01x10 - Gold and Lion

[bunniefuu]

We're canceling the operation!

Retreat!

I repeat!

We're canceling the operation! Retreat!

You're kidding me, John!

We're canceling the operation! Retreat!

We're canceling the operation! Retreat!

All hands, retreat!

Slaughterer of chaos

I did not think I could exert

this much power against a human.

You are willing to call me a human

even though I am in this guise?

Appearance is trivial.

I know not your name

but I promise I will engrave

this past battle into my heart.

I'm sorry, Master.

I shall make the Little Red Riding Hood

burned within you fade.

Participate in the Holy Grail w*r

Ayaka Sajyou.

If you don't want to be devoured

by Little Red Riding Hood.

Saber

We should hide. It's dangerous.

No.

As Master of the King of Heroes,

I have a duty to continue

watching him to the very end.

I do not have many elements

that allow me to reach you.

However

When it comes to speed, I can win!

Ex

calibur!

How naive!

Excalibur!

Excalibur!

Ex

Why you little

Ex

calibur!

Miss, is your body feeling all right?

Huh?

Oh, come to think of it,

I might be feeling a little sluggish.

"A little"?

Miss

What

are you?

Tsubaki Kuruoka's room is the rightmost

one from our viewpoint on the top floor.

Much appreciated.

Leave the rest to me.

No, wait a minute.

I'll go with you.

You've made a wise choice, boy.

Say earlier

if you had left this lovely lady behind

and retreated by yourself

I would have carved your heart out,

crushed it, kneaded it with sand

and scattered it into the slop

for pigs to feed on!

But you really made the worst choice.

Envelop in the black blades

Zabani—

Jester Karture.

How many b*ll*ts

are left within you?

Damn you.

How'd you get intel on me?

Are you all right, Mr. Jack?

Master

You transported a half-dead Heroic Spirit?

You are likely the only fool

who would use a Command Spell for this.

If we defeat that person, will Mr. Ja

Berserker's Spirit Origin revive?

Jack is fine now.

You see it, don't you?

Yes.

The Spirit Origins have fused within him.

It's as if they melted together

inside something that looks like mud.

I'm afraid that even if you defeat him

my power will not return to me.

Not unless I truly disappear

and then get resummoned from the Throne.

But if we do so, will that Mr. Jack

be a different person than you are now?

Wait.

Stop right there, whoever it is!

Oh brother.

You shouldn't make an

author do physical labor.

My name is Dumas.

Alexandre Dumas.

Ever heard of me?

What? Why would a Heroic Spirit

disclose his True Name—

M-Mr. Dumas? Which one?

The general under Napoleon?

Or the author of The Three Musketeers?

No, perhaps The Lady of the Camellias?

The second one. You sure know your stuff.

Of course I would know!

I watched the movie, the anime and

the puppet play of The Three Musketeers!

Well, I thank you for that.

But you're pretty difficult

to figure out, kid.

You jumped into the conversation

while setting up a spell in my shadow.

That's definitely a Mage. However

even when the spell was completed,

you got worked up and kept talking

about The Three Musketeers.

That's not like a Mage.

Huh? I mean, I set it up because I'd be

in danger if you were an enemy.

But if I ex*cuted it and you weren't

an enemy, I'd be wasting Magical Energy,

and it would be bad for you.

You know, kid,

you don't act like a Mage

This is not mere recklessness, either.

W-Wait, that's

So, you can still move.

Ridiculous. Hmm?

Mage, you have come out of the cellar.

P-P-Play Ball!

Master!

I'll leave it up to the boy

whether he does it or not.

Jack the Ripper.

Being able to become anyone

is the best ingredient ever.

By mixing that and the boy's presence,

I can fortify your powers temporarily.

But I can't even imagine what kind

of side effects the Master will have

after being stewed with a street slasher.

Oh? Is that it?

Huh?

Musketeers' Masquerade!

What?

Game Select!

Running through a part of

Mr. Jack's Noble Phantasm power

you stole is a spell I injected

that confuses the flow of Magical Energy.

There's no way you can do that—

It would have been impossible

unless I got this close.

Y-You could have transformed

into your Master and casted the spell.

That would have been the same.

Why did your Master take the risk

to stand on the b*ttlefield?

Because he holds something that I cannot.

Archer's Master has already used up

all the Command Spells, right?

If there was even one stroke left,

the power of that connection

would have repelled it.

You have eyes

that can see through that deeply!

However

I'm not done yet!

At this rate—

The actor showed some courage.

That makes me want to

fix up the logic a bit.

Guys like you are the ones

that should become heroes.

You are

John!

Game Over.

You used the Hydra's venom.

But

the power given to you

is not a god's blessing.

It is a power created

by humans and the earth.

I praise you, my brother

and

I pity you, brave hero!

This tainted blood of mine

The flames of revenge

harboring within my soul

What is he about to do?

What exactly are you?

What do you mean?

It's unusual to be able to supply that

much Magical Energy to a Heroic Spirit.

At the very least, you'd have to be

a top-tier Mage to do so.

You say that, but I

really don't understand

this Magical Energy stuff to begin with.

Miss

I was planning on eradicating you,

church and all.

I have become curious

about this thing's fate.

Gilgamesh

You did the same for me once upon a time.

You thought of protecting this location?

I ought to sneer at your arrogance

and slay you here

but by nullifying that attack,

you've earned my acknowledgement.

That is

an honor.

Saber?

We can win. We can win

Lord Gilgamesh!

Mongrel

What are you hiding within you?

What are you talking about?

I'm not talking about your entourage.

I'm talking about the source

of your own Spirit Origin.

In any case, it appears

you still lack a true reason to fight.

To dare challenge me

while in such an emotional state

Now that is flagrant conceit, mongrel.

I shall execute judgment.

Have you any final words before I do?

I'd like to say I don't, but

let's see

The girl that has provided

my Magical Energy is not a Master.

It was one-sided exploitation on my part.

She bares you no hostility,

so please make allowances for her.

All right.

However, if I find her existence trivial,

I shall blast her away without hesitation.

No different from the rest of the rabble.

Mongrel, the judgment on you—

What a tactless act!

You came to settle the

score before you died off?

However, you thought I could not purify

that tiny portion of tainted mud?

Strong king

and weak warrior!

What will slaughter you is not that taint!

Oh?

It is what drowns in that mud!

The corpses!

My distinguished enemy

and pitiful fellow

you shall dance within my mad rush!

Nine Lives!

I shall personally appraise you

and see how much that hide of yours

recognizes the crafts of humans!

Hydra venom, huh?

I already have plenty

of such poison in my stores.

Nothing less from you, my king!

So

the Holy Grail can even summon

something of this caliber?

Huh?

We have an interruption.

I did not expect you to stray here.

So

you have fallen that far

Ishtar, goddess of fertility!

"Fallen"? That's quite a

terrible way to say it!

The higher ground I've obtained

hasn't changed from the beginning.

You simply thought

you climbed higher than all of us.

You got carried away

and left your Master behind, too!

A Holy Grail w*r isn't

something so easy

that you could make it through and win

without a united front.

You know that, right?

More like, you don't feel

the intense pain of the poison yet?

Hurry up and roll around the ground

to make me laugh!

That arrogance plastered onto your soul

does not dissipate

even after millennia have passed.

To make me walk through

such a clammy cave alone

is worth certain death.

A cave

Well, thanks to that, I found

something useful in order to k*ll you.

The key to the vault!

Why you

It's something that is of no use

to an ordinary human.

But I can lock it up again, at the least.

Closing the door before my treasures

dazzles your eyes

I said you had fallen,

but I stand corrected.

You have become quite laudable!

Or

did that vessel affect you?

That didn't happen.

This body is a doll that was created

only to become a vessel.

Just like this little one.

To think I made a misjudgment

You are not the actual being,

but an inferior reverberation.

I wanted to play around a bit more

but going further

would make things a bit troublesome.

What?

Perhaps it is the curse itself?

I think it'd be best to flee.

I made an effort

to avoid your vital spots

so you should agonize as long as you can!

Or so I'd like to say.

Even if I let it slide

I don't think this little

guy is so forgiving.

Lord Gilgamesh!

- Lady Tiné!

It's dangerous!

No!

No!

Nooooo!

Oh brother.

At this rate, the audience, the stage

everything will burn down to cinders.

If so

I should lower the curtains

with my own hands.

This might be really bad!

Saber!

Oh, sorry, Ayaka.

I was planning on protecting

the church to the end

but I kind of screwed up.

It's fine! Just hurry up

and get your wounds treated!

I'm sure the church has

bandages or something!

You really aren't a Mage

through and through.

Your feelings serve

as a better medicinal herb than bandages.

Stop joking!

We have to hurry out of here!

Hold it! Wait!

If I made a citizen who I must protect

do such a thing

it would be a disgrace to me

both as a knight and as a king.

At the point you're hanging out

with someone like me,

it's already been a disgrace

the whole time!
