Episode V: Answers of X

All right then, let's listen to your story.

Yes. That moving suit of armor's final words intrigue me. You there, X. What is it that you're scheming?

Scheming? Really? I think Ms. X is merely selfish and secretive, that's all...

Yes, well that kind of person is called conniving. Whereas you, Lily, are just too innocent.

I'm just going to ignore those accusations. My stomach has started to hurt♡

Quit it, romance-for-brains and outsiders. Also, change out of that sci-fi outfit, Red Coat.

...Tsk. (Damn, she's won't allow it, huh?)

Lily. Nero. And you, Fujimaru and Shieldy.

I said I came to this era to save the world To save a future that had begun to crumble.

To be perfectly frank, the cause is Lily. You too, Nero. It's you ladies.

It's us!?

Your Majesty... Are you going to have a World Tour Concert in the future?

How dare you!? Besides, wouldn't a World Tour Concert from me save the future?

No, you ladies will do nothing. Well, the Red One's concert tour did bring Planet Rome to its ruins.

What!?

Yes. It was so bad even Altera ran away from it. But I am not here to speak on such trivial matters!

You Sabers will do nothing. However, your mere presence causes trouble for the future.

Why? Because we're too sexy!?

...Enough of that. This is serious, so I'd appreciate it if you listened closely.

Get this. You may find it hard to believe, but in the future, there are many of you.

Actually, there are many of "us." There are so many that the whole world could end up at war.

...Excuse me. ...You're really serious about this, aren't you?

You bet I am! Why would I make up such a story to make myself look good!

The future is flooded with the Saber Class, and the inflation is out of control.

Due to that, the Class value has plummeted and the Servant-verse has fallen into an unprecedented economic crisis.

If it continues, the Lancer Class will be annihilated...

...and the Archer Class will all be rounded up as criminals and imprisoned.

Because of this, the free Servant-verse will lose all meaning. So I devoted myself to coming back here to the past.

Either I must destroy the Saber Class that will saturate us... Or eliminate whatever the cause is from history.

...I-I see. So that's why you so obstinately attack the Saber Class...

Hmm, but don't you think there's something odd about that?

If you're trying to expel the entire Saber Class, wouldn't that include Lily?

...Yes, that's right. I am a Saber that shouldn't even exist...

You could even call me one of the causes of the Saber Class saturation that you speak of, Ms. X.

N-No, Lily is all right. Destroying all the Sabers is not right.

I mean, if I don't leave at least one, then I myself will never be born.

And the person that is most suited to that role is you, Lily!

Umu, I would agree with that conclusion. But why not I?

Isn't it obvious? Your character is far too strong for it, and most of all...

Now that we're talking like this, you don't resemble me in the least.

...Anyway, though there are many things about you that I find inexcusable, I will forgive you for now

Nero! Watch out!

Guah!?

Huh! You've shown your weakness, Heroine X! You disappoint me to my very core!

Making peace with Red, of all things - how preposterous! You have no right to call yourself Heroine X!

X! Who exactly are you!? Show yourself!

With pleasure! Ha-hah!

The killer from the shadows, assassination is my forte! I will be the last Saber!

X!? But wait, she's right here, so what's going on!?

Right... She is an imitation of me! What is the meaning of this!?

I am no imitation of you. I am Heroine Z! I am the Saber that destroys all Sabers!

X! Your softness surpasses that of marshmallows and clouds alike. If the mission is to destroy all Sabers

Then you should have foreseen that another Heroine would appear that would kill her!

No, it's not likely anyone would foresee that kind of Ouroboros connection.

I agree. It's like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Well, yes, I guess that's true! But this ends here! I am, after all, the last!

I am the assassin born to kill X, as the result of her traveling back in time. Saber!

It was also I who broke her spacecraft and spread its parts all across the world!

Hmph! Why you! Everyone... I'm terribly sorry...(crumple)

Ms. X!

Hmph! Weakling. All that's left now is to eliminate you who know the truth.

I won't tell you to say your prayers. In fact, I'd rather you be careless.

To be perfectly honest, I'm really not very strong! I'm a little worried about battling you all alone!

That's pretty blunt. Thank you! All right, Senpai. Let's fight!

Enemy Servant, Heroine Z! Class... I dare say her Class is unknown!
