Oh, I guess it's nice to meet you!
King Lionheart...
and I don't really get it, but the girl with amazing Magical Energy!
Why is your umbrella open inside a building?
I think that's the least of our concerns.
I'm glad you asked!
The answer is simple. It's because...
it's going to rain in here momentarily!
This is...
Another irritating pest!
You worried about that police squad?
You guys were at each other's necks, too, you know.
I won't let you do as you please!
That's all!
No, that's not quite true!
You learned they were trying to save Tsubaki Kuruoka...
and that's when you started respecting them, right?
I know everything about y—
However, Mages are the epitome of rationalists.
Ultimately, they will choose the path to kill Tsubaki Kuruoka.
Ah, perhaps the one that will end that girl's life will be...
that mercenary?
A hero who protects humanity would choose that path without a doubt!
Because sacrificing one little girl will give salvation to everyone else!
I'm Francesca.
And this is François.
If I said we're the True Caster faction,
bookies and troublemakers for this Holy Grail War...
would you get the gist of things?
I don't get it at all, but thanks for helping us out!
No need for thanks!
Because we came here to sully you.
Hmm?
Changed quite a bit, have you?
Did King Lionheart drag you along and make you stronger, as well?
Or...
are you a fox that feels big because you're next to someone strong?
What are you talking about?
Ayaka has been strong from the beginning!
She does have sharp eyes like a fox, but she isn't one to wheedle other people!
Great! You really are great!
You really are one who goes with the moment.
Ayaka, was it?
You have come across a great king!
That's why we have to apologize right now, you see!
Sorry, sorry!
For now, we're gonna be trampling a bit...
upon this king's admiration!
This is...
No way!
How...
This is...
where I was before... the castle in Fuyuki!
Was that a chariot just now?
Bulls clad in lightning...
It can't be!
H-Huh?
You're kidding me!
I had heard the real deal was a massive figure, but...
Who is that?
That's Alexander the Great!
Philia?
No.
Something is different.
Is this... a dream?
Huh?
Oh my goodness.
Is that someone you know?
No, this is a first for my eyes.
There are two reasons why I am standing here, not kneeling.
One is because I am a king, even if imperfect.
Huh? Wh-What are you talking about?
The other is...
to burn this legend
I chased my entire life into my memory as long as possible!
King Arthur?
That's correct!
What you're seeing is a part of the Fourth Holy Grail War that happened in Fuyuki...
almost 15 years ago!
Luckily, I was able to see the place where three kings gathered!
In order to...
grant salvation to the people...
a king sacrifices himself to the path of a righteous ideal.
I would wish upon the Holy Grail to return to the sword of selection,
and if there were to be someone more fit to be a king than I...
yield my history to them...
so that Britain can gain a new start.
Sacrificing all for righteousness and discarding everything about yourself?
That is not how a person should live.
King of Conquerors...
How can you declare that a rule where you stop
being human is lesser than that of a human?
King of Knights...
That way of life will someday raise you from a human...
into the realm of the gods.
What are you laughing about, King of Heroes?
If such a thing were possible for a human, is there any reason for hesitation?
Seeking a path of divine righteousness
ultimately brings about a culling of the people.
Saber...
Destroy...
the Holy Grail.
Stooooop!
Is this...
how a Holy Grail War can end?
This is...
something you shouldn't worry about, Saber!
It's an illusion, right?
It's all made up!
I don't know about that! We'll see!
How was it, King Lionheart?
What's your opinion after watching the king you admired for so long...
try to make her heroic tale something that never happened?
A pathetic story where the legendary King Arthur
couldn't grasp a single thing in her hands!
A hero always faces a choice!
And always, the choice that protects human history is chosen!
Hey, corpse.
You previously mentioned you were going to deny humanity...
that Dead Apostles existed to contaminate human history.
But you're not going to deny Assassin, who is a part of human history?
What are you getting at?
Defeating high-level Dead Apostles like you...
requires a consecrated weapon,
a Singularity wielder or a high-ranking Mage.
Jeez.
I guess this has all been guided, as well...
Dorothea.
Play Ball!
Jester, what's wrong?
What the hell did you...
Flat...
Yep! You said that was a body that split off...
so I followed the current of Magical Energy
and attacked the main body!
Impossible! I'm not simply a body that split off—
I know, I get it!
It took a long time to distinguish the pattern! So painstaking!
Painstaking, you say?
Dammit.
That mercenary, too!
Is this what a Holy Grail War is all about?
But none of that matters!
To think you'd be so surprised...
Perhaps you were being a bit too conceited?
Don't feign ignorance!
How do you know of that name?
Looks like the information was correct.
I shouldn't be doing this given my position,
but I believe there is a need to officially give my gratitude.
No need for gratitude.
I only invested in the descendant
of an old, important friend of mine, not you.
In return, I request that you deal with the rubbish.
That voice!
Flat, whose voice was that just now?
I called the one vampire that I exchanged phone numbers with!
Can it be...
That was a good lecture, Lord.
It seems I have quite a relationship...
with the students of your classroom.
The Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, their pinnacle...
If one of them were going to listen in,
I should have chosen my words more wisely...
Sir Van-Fem.
I was quite intrigued listening in.
So much so, I believe it is of no loss to me in this bargain.
Are you planning on getting in my way, Lord Vandelstam?
A Dead Apostle is one that denies humanity, you say.
Indeed, that is how it is.
Thus the stain that you are.
Claiming to deny the world of humans...
yet in love with a hero, the culmination of human history.
It's what you call a "double standard."
If you are going to change how you exist
as a Dead Apostle depending on who you're dealing with,
you have become an unnecessary bug engraved into this world.
Flat, please clean up that thing for me.
Francesca Prelati!
Saber...
I give you my gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
- Huh? - Huh?
For giving me an indirect rendition
of a new epic tale of the great King of Knights!
In my case, I know everything about the legend of the Round Table.
How the king is betrayed, how she is irrational,
and how she loses everything in the end.
But my admiration stems
from the entire package, including all of that.
Besides, the King of Knights was not denied by the other two.
Is that so?
The King of Conquerors was simply angry.
He did not deny the royal road of the King of Knights.
Depending on the times, the land, and feelings of the people and subjects...
what is just or not can easily vary.
That is why that question does not have a right answer,
and those three knew that more than anyone else. But...
let's see.
If I had to say something,
there was one thing our King of Knights lacked compared to the other kings.
She simply had a softer voice than the others!
Oh, that's the direction you're taking this?
More like, you're not surprised that King Arthur was a girl?
So, you knew, didn't you?
The legend of the true King Arthur...
Altria Pendragon.
You somehow found out back when you were alive.
Just as I thought. That is what you were really after.
You wanted to know just how far I stepped myself
into the history of the King of Knights, didn't you?
But it really was amazing!
Alexander the Great, that golden one, and our ancestral king!
All rulers beyond my imagination!
Ayaka...
That determination you showed earlier...
I decided to accept it after all!
I would like to redo my first encounter with you.
I ask you.
Are you...
my Master?
Dammit!
What is that Saber—
What is it this time?
That is...
I see.
I have been forsaken?
Now we match...
my beloved Assassin!
What are you...
Mr. Hansa!
That might be bad news!
All right! I shall prove it to you!
I will grasp the Holy Grail with my own hands,
and with its power, I will destroy all of humanity!
And when humanity is reduced to just her...
I will affirm it once more!
When the time comes, I will have you hold a banquet to celebrate...
Lord Vandelstam!
Did I make the spell a bit too rough on him?
Rest assured. He's been like this from the beginning.
Are you targeting Tsubaki Kuruoka?
Flat, what's going on?
Everyone, retreat!
Sorry.
I was asleep for a bit.
You sure are looking good.
Did you wake from a good dream or something?
Yeah, I'm sure the dream's coming true.
Right, Master?
Just call me "Ayaka."
Ayaka.
I want to use the Holy Grail for something extremely selfish.
With the power of the Holy Grail...
I want song to echo throughout a particular location.
Sorry...
can I borrow a sword?
Thank you.
The enemy is likely the Grim Reaper,
and its energy is likely this world itself.
A most worthy opponent!
Wow!
This is turning into one huge deal!
Quiet down. You will make the concealment spell meaningless.
Hansa, it was a good thing...
we searched inside the room beforehand!
A parachute similar to a Mystic Code...
I don't know who left them, but they're quite generous.
King Arthur truly was someone just like in the legends!
I give my praise!
Even if the King of Conquerors shows his anger...
even if the King of Heroes scoffs!
I affirm her chivalry...
the building of her ideals, even if it means nullifying...
all which her subjects accomplished!
Such tyranny...
is further proof of a king!
However, the great king did not notice.
The kingdom created by the Round Table
and seemingly destroyed by the Round Table...
needs no new start!
King Arthur...
has indeed...
guided us to Avalon!
Oh boy, he's sure running his mouth as he pleases.
Altry is having a hard time here with more
expectations piled on top of her after her death.
I thought he'd show a much uglier side of himself...
but he's quite the staunch one.
But maybe it's good!
I like that king!
And...
that girl looks like an interesting one, too!
The path of kingship you walked was not mistaken.
The path you left behind, the pride left by the Round Table...
We who followed had something to admire!
And we will continue to admire it!
I have lost the qualification to do so, but...
someday, one will come and reach where you are!
I will...
No...
I shall...
use the power of the Holy Grail...
to sing a song of human victory...
to the very ends of...
ever-distant Avalon!
Tsubaki, go fetch your father and mother.
O-Okay!
Hold it. Hold up.
It's a pain in the ass to don a new guise of a child.
What's wrong?
Monsters...
Monsters!
Mr. Black...
Tsubaki...
What's the matter?
Father!
Ghosts...
So many ghosts...
It's all right, Tsubaki.
Those big skeletons are all on your side.
That's right, Tsubaki.
They are the same as Mr. Black.
Huh?
Is the girl all right?
Miss!
Assassin!
He's in the basement!
Miss!
It's dangerous, Tsubaki.
Why? Why did Miss—
Because that young lady is trying to kill you.
She said it would be a problem...
if you stayed alive.
Stop it!
Me? Why?
You are the king of this world.
The people who are jealous of you are trying to bully you.
Mr. Black will protect you from all of them.
Forever.
But...
then all the people in town...
It doesn't matter how many townsfolk die.
They're simply expendable.
Right. And I've always been telling you, haven't I?
The only thing you need to think about is Magecraft.
I see.
I...
failed again, didn't I?
What are...
I'm all right.
I'll do my best.
I'll do my best, so...
please, Mr. Black.
Huh?
Stop it!
Wait!
You are...
Everything...
Please make everything the way it was!
Stop it!
Please...
make me...
all alone forever and ever!
What the hell have you guys done?
What kind of life...
what has she been forced to do...
for a young child to voluntarily choose this?
What have you been doing to your own daughter?
Oh man...
what a wet blanket.
I didn't think she'd break that badly.
See you, Miss.
You're not getting away!
I didn't think Tsubaki would gain Command Spells.
But our methodology was not wrong after all.
Sigma, was it?
Can you contact Faldeus?
Dear, we need to head to the hospital first.
Right.
We can procure equipment to cut the right hand off over there.
Please let Faldeus know.
We will enter the Holy Grail War as soon as
we transplant the Command Spells from Tsubaki.
Transplant?
You, dear...
That little Tsubaki used up two strokes of Command Spells.
But with the power of that Heroic Spirit, we can gain quite an advantage.
You, dear. Listen closely.
Are you going to sever Tsubaki's hand?
Yeah. It's a blessing that she can't do any ridiculous screaming.
In the worse case scenario,
we have to preserve at least her reproductive functions.
What you need to eradicate are the ones who are trying to plunder from us.
I see. It's you guys.
Why do you have that?
I'd like you to return it.
I have been...
participating in this Holy Grail War as one of the Masters.
My boss Francesca...
has authorized me to wage war at my own discretion.
Hey, don't get any strange ideas, got that?
From me...
as a spellcaster...
not a Mage...
This is a declaration of war against you.
We're back?
So, they have returned.
I've had stomach pain for a while now, but it will be over in a few more days.
I must adjust things now in earnest.
What first?
First off...
I guess I'll get a prescription for stomach medication.
Oh, there you are!
Hey!
Ayaka!
Huh? Who?
Why do you know my name?
Oh, you really are someone else!
But your name is also Ayaka?
I'm Flat!
Nice to meet you!
You know about me?
I'm friends with someone who has the same face and name you do.
But your Magical Energy flow... so it really is...
Tell me if you know something about me!
What am I...
Who is Ayaka Sajyou?
Yep, you really don't have a good grasp of what you are.
All right.
Listen up. Your body is—
Huh?
Master?
Wha...
It's so bright.
I can't see well.
I'm sorry, Mr. Jack.
I screwed up.
Flat!
I'm sorry, Professor.
Everyone...
I'm sorry.
Nooooo!
Target's head has been confirmed demolished.
Pursuit complete.
So, this is your stomach medicine?
Yes.
Getting rid of the cause of your stress
one by one is the best way to deal with it.
This is...
It seems Flat Escardos has met his end.
I shall give a blessing...
to the great deed...
my old neighbor has accomplished.
What in the world...
is going on?
You look as though you've come to a reconciliation within yourself.
Francesca had told me.
That my mother...
participated and died in a Holy Grail War as an assistant to a mercenary.
That makes you sad?
No. I finally understand now.
I was jealous.
Because I'm sure Mother had discovered her reason to live.
So, what are you going to do from here?
I was told I can act freely...
so that's what I'll do.
I will take this Holy Grail War...
EPISODE 13
and destroy it!
