1. Before the battle
65 linesHumans and gods are different.
I might have some divine blood in me, but I was still a human at heart, and she, a goddess.
Everything about us, from our origins on, is fundamentally...well, different.
Hey, you.
Hmph, how could you say that!? It's me! Artemis!
Whoa, really?
Yes, really. You look confused. Why?
You're nothing like I'd imagined.
Ahahaha, well that's funny. And here I went and changed my appearance to suit you.
...You did?
Don't you get it? I fell in love with you at first sight.
So from now on, it's your responsibility to care for me in sickness and in health, okay?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. This is all happening way too fast.
Get used to it♡
My memories of you from Proper Human History are a series of silly, meaningless, uplifting comedies.
Heck, even the way I died was ridiculous.
I'm still grateful to the god who stopped you from trying to make me immortal.
Like I said: gods and humans are different.
That's got to be just as true for why we fall in love, how we fall in love, how that love comes to an end...and everything in between.
But that doesn't mean having humans become gods would solve everything.
If I'd been made a god...who knows how my human feelings would twist and change once I'd abandoned that humanity.
And that just didn't sit right with me.
...Deep breaths.
I look up at the sky right where I know her to be, even if I can't see her from here.
I knew it. It's just like I thought. You don't belong up there in the sky.
Senpai, it's Mash Kyrielight. I have something to report.
Come in!
？！
Oh, hello, Fou. So this is where you've been.
Jason wanted me to tell you that Corday made it off the ship safely.
That's good to hear...
？！
If you want to say goodbye to her... Oh, I guess you already did.
She was unfailingly good-natured, wasn't she? And I think she was very strong, too.
I know she always talked about how weak she was...
...but I think there's a difference between having power and being strong.
I wish I'd had more chances to talk with her.
Me too.
？！
I see.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes. A journey like this makes that really sink in.
Even so...I still remember.
I remember every one of them.
？！
Me too.
I'm sure the battle we're heading into will be even harder than usual.
Even Jason has stopped smiling, and he's usually so upbeat.
...It makes me want to win even more.
But...not out of a sense of duty towards saving the world.
Even though fighting is always scary... Even though I can't even stand up without someone protecting me... I still want to win.
We can never go back to Chaldea again. We'll never get to go back to that room.
But that's exactly why I want to focus on reaching a new destination.
And I want to see what it's like with you, Master... Senpai.
That's what I want, too.
？！
Master.
Right!
？！
Storm Border, Royal Fortune, Argo. All engines answering full stop.
Boosting cloaking to maximum power, just like Jason asked.
We're almost at Nemesis Island...
...and there are countless enemy ships gathered around it.
I guess that means it's time for the final battle.
2. Before the battle
53 linesI hope this works...
I don't blame you for being nervous...
...but I'm also sure Jason knew what he was doing when he came up with this plan.
So...I think it'll work out.
Are you ready?
Y-yes! I've double-checked my equipment and can confirm everything is working fine.
I'm good to go at any time!
Try to relax. You don't wanna be so on edge that you end up screwing up.
I'm sorry...
Wait, crap. That was a poor choice of words.
？！
Fujimaru.
You try to relax too.
There's only so much we can do, and worrying about the stuff we can't isn't gonna help anyone.
It's okay. I'll make sure to keep you safeer, alive at least.
After all, you and I are frie... Uh... You know...
Really? You couldn't bring yourself to say it here?
Hey, cut me some slack.
This sort of thing's way out of my usual wheelhouse, okay? I can't help it.
Really? You can't even look me in the eye?
I'm sorry, okay!? This is the best I can do!
？！
All right. Mash, Fujimaru, circle up. Hands in.
Okay. You mean like this?
What's our goal here, Fujimaru?
Win.
Not just win. We've gotta survive, too.
Survive.
Are you three done living out your youthful fantasies yet!?
It's not a fantasy. This is all as real as it gets.
Aye, aye, sir.
I take it you all know the plan backwards and forwards by now?
I'm still not sure if it really qualifies as a plan, but yeah.
You don't have to tell me. Believe me, I'm well aware.
At any rate, our first order of business is to win this battle.
We're all going to protect Orion and land on the final island: Nemesis Island.
So you all need to be ready to kick Odysseus to the curb like he's nothing!
Well, I guess you do need to convince yourself of that more than anyone...
Who asked you, sun god!? Just stick to blessing (read: buffing) the hell out of us like a good support mascot!
All right... Go on, Master! Say something to inspire us!
...What do you mean, "like what?" I don't care! Just come up with something!
Let's all win this together!
Let's all make it back alive!
This is the Storm Border. Torpedoes are locked, loaded, and ready to go!
This is the Royal Fortune. I'm all set.
On my honor as The Courier, I promise I'll deliver Orion to Nemesis Island as fast as I possibly can.
Move out!!!
