1. Before the battle
55 linesThe further back in time you go, the more unforgiving the fight for survival becomes.
If you have no weapons, you'll never manage to hunt prey.
If you can't run, you'll never be able to chase that prey.
All you can do is die.
But Homo sapiens is a tenacious species.
They created any number of alternatives and even worked together to survive.
One of the things which helped them to survive was sight.
As sight is essential to many competitions, even beyond the biological...
...humans concocted a means of aiding their vision in the thirteenth century.
This enabled even those with poor vision to see and read clearly.
In time, it even worked its way into fashion.
Strangely enough, it became a symbol of wisdom and intelligence.
I speak, of course, of the invention of eyeglasses.
Another day, another minute Singularity to fix! Let's get to work!
Wooo!
Wooo!
Why're you two so energetic? Is this part of the briefing?
No, I don't believe so.
How come you're so hyped about this one, Da Vinci?
I'm not, really. It's more that I felt the room could use some energy.
？！
Now, about the Servants who'll be accompanying you to this latest Singularity...
This is who we decided on.
...Nothing against you guys, but wouldn't me and Nobukatsu be plenty of firepower already?
Maybe, maybe not.
See, there's something kind of...
...peculiar about this Singularity.
So, we decided not to take any chances.
It's safer for all five of these Servants, each of whom is a good match for this Singularity, to accompany you.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Why have you asked for me instead of Sister for this?
I mean, not that you should waste her time with something so trivial, but still!
Some things never change...
So I'll have to leave the Nautilus behind to go on this Rayshift, huh...
Marines, you remain on standby here at Chaldea. Make sure not to neglect your duties while I'm gone. Got it?
Aye, aye, sir! We'll keep everything spick-and-span!
So, who're we killing? What are we destroying?
That is a little...blunt for my tastes, but I do share those same questions.
Well, the thing is...we haven't picked up any Servant readings in this Singularity yet.
Of course, it's entirely possible they're just hiding from us very effectively, but as of now, we haven't detected any.
We have, however, been able to confirm the presence of multiple life-forms of some kind there.
Based on our data, they're probably just Demonic Beasts, but still.
Hmm...
So there appear to be no Servants, and only a handful of Demonic Beasts...
...but, for some reason, you say you have a bad feeling about this?
Perhaps we should trust your intuition.
You think? Is that how it works?
Singularities are essentially a kind of pitfall for human history.
No matter how small or bizarre they may be, it is still in their nature to disrupt that history.
Which is why we must do whatever is necessary to eradicate them.
Honestly, I couldn't care less about that, but since I'm here on Sister's behalf, you'd better believe I'll do whatever I have to.
So let's head over there and take care of it as soon as we can.
Okay then, let's get going!
You got it! All right, get ready to Rayshift!
