Facing the Greater Grail

Time for the Greater Grail. This will be our last break. Is there anything you've left undone?

That's good to hear. I dislike Masters who can't make up their minds when push comes to shove.

You're still a rookie, but you've got the most important thing a pioneer can have.

The divine luck to grasp fate, and the ability to make decisions.

Don't forget how to be reckless. People like that are the ones who'll get blessed by the stars.

If it's necessary, then by all means go back. We're attacking a bear in its hole, so we need plenty of supplies.

？！

I don't know what you're talking about. Whether we forge ahead or go back, we need to rest first.

Doctor, are you checking vitals? Fujimaru looks paler than usual.

Huh? Ah...Yeah, this doesn't look very good. It's because of the unexpected Servant contract...

You never used your magic circuits and now they're running at full capacity. It's probably putting stress on your brain.

Mash, set up camp. It's time to make warm tea with plenty of honey.

Got it, Doctor. I think tea time is a good idea.

Oh, feeding yourselves before the final battle? Then maybe I'll go hunting for some wild boars.

I'm sure there aren't any around here. Besides, forget about meat, if you must get something make it fruit.

...I'm stuffed. I can't believe you had dried fruits with you, Director. Again, your level of preparation astonishes me.

I just happened to have them. Citrus is effective against headaches. But that aside

... ...

No, I'm full! But from now on, remember that I like coffee more than tea!

N-No, that's not it. That's not what I wanted to... Oh, forget it!

？！

Th-The work you've done so far, has been passable. As the director of Chaldea, I have to give you credit.

...Hmph. What's that look for? I'm sure it's a fluke, but right now you're all we've got.

What I'm saying is, keep it up and you might hear praise from me yet. I know that even a third-rater can do first-rate work.

Well, well, admitting that Fujimaru did a solid job. Have you eaten something sweet?

Romani. If you've got time to be flapping your gums, use it to send Fujimaru a supply or two instead.

I would feel bad if someone failed because they were ill-equipped. Especially, when they have been doing their best.

What's this? "Feel bad?" How kind of you. Director, does this mean you're finally opening up your heart?

Idio... I-I meant pitiful! Pathetic! You couldn't even tell that?

Well, I never grow tired of watching young men and women interact. Although when it comes to young women, Director, you're not really...

Is that right? Certainly, the Director is older, but I feel like we have similar tastes. I feel affection for her.

What are you going on about? I told you before that you're all just tools to me!

(Mm, hmm)

There, see? Even this shadowy-like monster-thing agrees with me!

Huh? Eeeeek! Mash, hurry up and get rid of it! It's gonna eat me! It's gonna eat me!
