My Memories

Hmm

Based on my observation, I couldn't detect anything. Um, maybe I should expand the range?

Hmmm, you are in 1st century Gaul, within the second singularity that's being corrected.

Are you sure it's around here, great hero of destruction, AttilaI mean, Altera?

Don't call me Attila. Yes, I'm sure it's around here.

Someone is calling me here. I'm certain that I felt it.

It's a destructive...impulse. What's worse, it's extraordinary.

Even if it destroys everything in sight, it still won't calm down... That's what it is.

An impulse, huh? I don't know how to understand a phenomenon that can't be observed with numbers.

She probably meant she sensed something similar to that of magical energy.

Magical energy, hmm? I see, I won't deny that, but...

It's more like a forced command, one more powerful than Command Spells. That's what I've sensed.

Yes, I am wondering the same.

...Right. It might be best for us to be prepared for combat.

？！

Fou, Fou Fooou!

It seems like it is already approaching us. A collection of destructive impulses.

It's a Servant! If we're just picking that up now, that means...

...it's hiding in spirit form until our arrival! Senpai!

...I am troubled.

Oh, no... See, I knew it. I am troubled because of it...

I can smell that person... No wait, it's a smell similar to that person...

Why do I sense it? Why do I think like this?

...That woman...

She must be one of the women... Who tried to get close to my...Sigurd...

Oh?

You're Brynhild...right? A woman who tried to get close to your Sigurd? Who are you talking about?

...

She's looking at me. So that destructive impulse is directed to me.

But I don't remember anyone named Sigurd. Hm...

Ah! No, Altera, try to remember!

Fou?

How do I explain this... It's not Sigurd per se, but someone who shares the same origin and legend as him...

You've already met him, Altera. That's right, this has happened before...

...Huh?

Wait, I'm sorry. I'm getting confused so let me get this straight.

In other words...

Siegfried and Altera married "the same woman?"

Yes, that's right. After I died, my wife Kriemhild remarried Etzel

In other words, the great king of the Huns. I heard that the great king also lost his wife.

Kriemhild...

My wife, huh? Wife...

Wife...

？！

I'm familiar with her name, but it feels unrealistic to have a wife.

I know nothing except for war and destruction. I never directed my attention to anything else.

So...it's possible that woman was there for me.

Oh I see, one of Altera's retainers probably played it smart and had them married for diplomatic reasons.

？！

...I do have some thoughts on that, but this is not the place to talk about it.

I heard Kriemhild used King Etzel for her revenge.

What led her to seek revenge was my death. So, I'm in no position to accuse the king.

Etzel

Fou?

Etzel, huh

What's the matter, Altera?

Well, the name Etzel isn't bad.

？！

...It's not...what I meant. It's not...

It's not that.

(Seems like it is.)

(Yes, it is.)

(Indeed.)

(Fou, Fou Fou♪)

...It's not...

...Do you remember now?

Indeed, I do. But I suppose he is a different existence, or hero, than Sigurd.

Siegfried and Sigurd. I hear both of them are heroes with the same origin...

Oh... Oh my...how can that be?

That's exactly what I thought. Taking...a wife... There's no way it can be...

Forgiven.

？！

Y-Yes, Senpai! She's obviously gone into battle mode!

What, a Servant battle!? Now?

...Fight me with everything you have.

Hmm, she wishes to fight.

Very well, I shall answer that wish. All I can do is wield the sword of destruction.

Come. The sword of Mars shall crush you!

...Oh... What...was I...doing?

Don't tell me... Was I fighting? Me? Against you?

Yes.

I-I see, so that's what happened. I wonder why...

It's odd. Sometimes I attack men, but usually not women.

It sounds horrible, but yes, most of Brynhild's victims are men.

Her Noble Phantasm feels like it's that way, too E-Either way, I am happy we could clear up that misunderstanding!

Y-Yes. It was just a matter of pressing the wrong button!

Hmm...

Oh?

Fou, Fou...

...Anyway, I was lucky to fight such a powerful individual. It helped adjust the aim for my Noble Phantasm.

Fou, Fou. Kyao?
