1st Floor, Room No.1

It's so cold... Something's not right, Senpai. The thermometer shows normal values, but I feel like we're inside a freezer...

Yeah, absolutely. Since there's an air conditioner, why don't you try turning on the heater?

Isn't that right, big guy? Just because your soul becomes cold, that doesn't mean your body has to be cold too, right?

...Hmm.

Benkei!? Are you living in this room!?

Or... Are you imprisoned here, like what the Doctor suggested?

Please answer me, Benkei. Why did you come to this apartment?

...I don't accept it. I don't! It's unforgivable...unforgivable!

Abandoned by Heaven, forgotten by the earth, and deceived by the people! Why would you turn away from this respectable life?

Instead of training your wisdom, you mastered ugliness, It's outrageous! I can't let it be, I have to make a stand!

Servant, Musashibou Benkei is switching to combat mode!

I can't get a read on this situation, Master!

Yes... Let's start a Servant battle!

You don't have to tell me. Our first opponent is a monk? Talk about a twist of fate!

？！

Ooohhh... Oooohhhhhh... Nghhhhhohhhhhhh!

Benkei...has disappeared. Is he going to be all right?

Hmmm, I'm not sure. When a contract is bound to Chaldea...

The defeated Spirit Origin doesn't return to the Throne of Heroes, but to Chaldea instead.

Given some time, he'll probably return to Chaldea.

We still don't know why he was in that room, but it seems like you just "freed" a Servant.

Is that so? He was rather aggressive, but at least we've reached a solution.

As I thought, there's nothing here. This is the wrong room. Let's check the others, Fujimaru.

What? You look sad... Don't tell me you're feeling down?

？！

Hey, guys. I should let you know, this apartment's always been like this, okay?

You can feel bad for him, but I can't do anything if you let that get to you...

I mean, if you guys didn't force them out, they would've gone on like that forever.

Don't you think that would've been even more tragic?

...That's right. It's just as Ryougi says.

It may be a little violent, but if a Servant attacks us, we'll have to face them as enemies.

Looks like that's our best option in this apartment. Do you understand, Mash and Fujimaru?

？！

We have to keep a positive mindset, no matter what. Those imprisoned here all had a negative way of thinking.

Let's keep pace and proceed with our investigation.
