Chapter Text
Karna:
Is everyone accounted for?
Nero:
Umu! We are all in one piece!
Emiya:
Now I remember why I dislike facing Aggressors so much….
Tamamo:
Everyone is safe. Now, if you would just point me in my husband's direction…
Karna:
I'm certain that I've already told you… Priyatamā does not have a wife.
Apollo:
The fact that he keeps calling our Master in such a manner should make the situation glaringly obvious, really.
BB:
I hate to ruin this little debate you have going on but could one of you explain why none of the data on this version of SE.RA.PH matches up with my own data…?!?!
???:
That may be due to the fact that our timeline is not connected with yours.
Nero:
You…!
Tamamo:
What are YOU doing here?!
???:
I am Hakuno's advisor.
Apollo:
Has his other general approved of your reinstatement?
Karna:
I do not see any reason for Arjuna to disapprove of his reinstatement. He had simply been on the wrong path before. He has already reflected on his actions and vowed to never condone such acts again.
Apollo:
Sometimes I wonder just how you came to be a good strategist with that logic of yours…
Tamamo:
He ref— Oh no, Karna-san. I can say with utmost certainty that he would never truly reflect on his actions!
???:
I am hurt that you would judge me as such.
Apollo:
You're not even sounding sarcastic there, Archimedes. At least try not to sound so amused, hm?
Archimedes:
Now why would I not find this amusing? Someone finally sees this from my perspective.
Tamamo:
Grr…! I should eradicate you with the sun's flames, you demon!
Archimedes:
I'm sure you are the demon between the two of us, given your fox-like features.
BB:
Hmm…? Are you trying to steal my spot in senpai's life…? A good lesson is in order, then~
Emiya:
Could we all just focus on the actual problem rather than fight among each other?
Master:
That sounds like a wonderful idea, Emiya!
Nero:
Umu. I suppose we should… though this discussion is far from over!
Karna:
Ah, you have yet to explain the ring of light in the sky.
Archimedes:
Yes, that. My findings have shown the ring to be… essentially not harmful.
Master Choices
- It wouldn't be harmful by itself…
- Technically, it isn't….
Emiya:
It's the effect of this situation on humanity that's really harmful. If that was a normal ring of light that just happened to be in the sky, it wouldn't really mean anything.
Apollo:
Hm? Would that explain why my visions are currently drawing a blank canvas?
Karna:
Perhaps. Archimedes, what else have you discovered?
Archimedes:
Not much aside from the fact that the ring of light is connected to our current enemy. Their fort and information are guarded so well, I was barely able to get a hint as to their identity.
Emiya:
(Well, he definitely looks like he's enjoying this…)
Nero:
And how are we to know that you are not lying, hm?
Archimedes:
Either Lord Apollo or Karna could tell you.
Apollo:
I sense no lies… Karna?
Karna:
Negative.
Apollo:
Well. That's that, then.
Master:
- (They accepted the answer readily enough…)
- (Karna really is a walking lie detector, huh?)
Scene Change: Castle (Indian Styled because ;3 ;3)
Karna:
I must ask that you refrain from claiming things which are untrue.
Nero:
Umu! As long as my Praetor is happy, then I am happy as well!
Apollo:
(Huh… These people are either dense or just determined… or perhaps both?)
Archimedes:
I do believe that he is beyond pleased.
Tamamo:
You have no room to speak, you two-faced traitor!
Nero:
…………………………
Emiya:
Right…….
Mash:
Is he the brown haired one hugging… A-Arjuna-san…?!
Karna:
Hm. They are cute when they cuddle like that.
Apollo:
You're dangerously close to having incestuous feelings, aren't you~?
Karna:
…………………………
Archimedes:
Careful with your words, Lord Apollo. Our Master may think you are trying to break his dear general.
Apollo:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
???:
What's with the laughter, Apollo?
Archimedes:
You may ignore him for now, Hakuno. I bring both good and grave news.
Arjuna:
How grave…….?
Archimedes:
I have recently learned some interesting things about our enemies. Though their identities simply continue to escape my grasp.
Master:
- Enemies…?!?!
- Of course there are more than one...
Hakuno:
Wait… Who are they?
Karna:
It seems they are allies from Earth, priyatamā.
Hakuno:
Oh. Okay. Please continue then, Archimedes.
Archimedes:
Our enemies are from regions and cultures we are not familiar with at the moment…
Apollo:
Riddles are certainly my forte and not yours.
Archimedes:
Yes. Well. I do apologize for focusing more on our victory and less on wordplay.
Arjuna:
We would much prefer hearing about Caster's discoveries rather than listening to you bicker.
Emiya:
I feel like we are just here to observe…
Nero:
My gaze will not stray too far from Archimedes and his games. Umu!
Tamamo:
My husband… just briefly looked at me…?!
Mash:
I wonder if we should remind them of our presence…
