4th Floor, Room No.4

...Senpai, we're almost done investigating the 4th floor. If what happened on the first floor applies to every floor...

Leave. The floor above is crawling with vengeful ghosts. It's not a place for the living.

(Completely stunned by a horse suddenly appearing)

Enemy Servant appeared! Prepare for battle, Master!

？！

...Hum.

I am sure! This pressure, this evil magical energy I am sensing...

That's a Servant more chaotic-evil than Mephisto here!

Hyahoo! Exactly! That there is the evil Dark Knight, the crow that devours the dead.

...No, wait!

I get chills just from the gaze beyond that helmet! That Servant is cold-hearted!

Master, be careful... That is not someone we can talk to!

Let's defeat that Servant! Oh I can't stop laughing! Hehehe, kill, let's kill!

Inside that armor is probably a hollow shell like the ghosts outside, or a bony skeleton!

...Hey! Who are you calling a bony skeleton?

Feast your eyes upon this body! One that belongs to the King of Storms, the protector of the holy lance!

LOOK! CLOSELY!

(Completely stunned by her taking off her armor)

Whoa! Time to record this! Where's my recorder!?

Fooooooooooou!

Wh-What? Have we met before?

...Indeed. You are very perceptive, Fujimaru.

That was a different aspect of myself, but still the same person.

Your perceptiveness deserves a compliment. You show much promise. However...

(Her eyes are saying, "I will kill you if you finish that sentence.")

Fo...Fou...

？！

Unlike my armor, my patience is wearing thin. Especially when it comes to humiliation.

You ruffians have witnessed a king's face. Since it has come to that, a fight cannot be avoided.

I shall forgive your disrespect if you can survive and prove your bravery to me. If you can't, your soul will be mine.

I am the King of Storms, the Wild Hunt itself! All those who witness my face shall become my servant.

My limbs, my offerings... Cry as you gather under me. Be as crimson as velvet, fit to decorate my hooves.

This tower here is my castle. Here I go, human! Resist your fate with all of your might!

Lancer Alter is attacking us after saying all those cool lines!

Master, your orders, please! You too, Shiki! Be prepared!

Ah, yes, thank you, you saved me! She almost gave me a heart attack!

What the hell is she doing on a horse in an apartment! That's creepier than any ghosts in this place!

...Insolent fool. The eyes that can see death, huh? To think my servants will be disposed of so easily.

If she's with you then you can win. I have no more reasons to stop you.

Master, Lancer Alter has lowered her spear.

Unlike the other Servants, maybe she still hasn't mutated?

Of course she hasn't. I mean, she's just not cut out for it.

How should I put this... The heart that's not afraid to go all out? The courage to pursue desires? Kind of like the class president?

No matter how strong she becomes, she never seems to turn into a cruel queen.

Unless you pour ale into the Holy Grail and have her drink it, she will never become a villain.

That's very much like her. But why is she blocking our way?

...Hmm. I can't let people without light tread into the darkness.

I am here to filter the people who can't resist against the grudge in this place.

But with that woman around, any immortal will face death.

That's why I will allow you to proceed. Besides...

Even with a light, it's common to be eaten by beasts. I will enjoy watching how far you can go.

Wow, what a scary laugh... She looks like a cruel queen to me... Cruel enough...

You talk too much, mage. Small talk is strictly prohibited. Instead of speaking, keep moving!

Fou, fou!

Ouch, she scolded me... She's like a class president alright. Now for the necessary questions.

Heroic Spirit of the Holy Spear. Why are you here? Did Mephisto trick you into coming, too?

I don't know about that. I came of my own free will.

...This is the tower that gathers grudges. It is the cenotaph that imprisons death.

Originally it should've been drowned in the darkness of history. But someone dug it up, and tried to convert it to a Singularity.

Someone... It's probably the same person who's incinerated humanity. But you said they tried, did they fail?

...This is what you will find out from your investigation. Indeed, the King's plan ended in miscalculation.

That's probably because he sent the wrong man for the job. As a result, this place did not turn into a Singularity.

Instead, it became a tower that attracts and imprisons Servants, turning them into demons.

There are many types of death that come here. Someday, it will become the Singularity called "Hell."

So this is the gate of Hell, right? That means I am most suitable to be your guide!

Now, even if a Hell wasn't created here, one already exists. Adding one or two more holes to it wouldn't be a problem. However...

If you can't overlook that fact, then do whatever you see fit.

This place has no effect on the incineration of humanity. The mutation of the Servants is the result of their own doing.

...That's what she thinks... What should we do, Senpai?

？！

Roger! I will go with you, Master!

...Even if it won't cause any harm to you, you'll still intervene? You sure are a curious one.

Or are you just nosy? Chaldea is more laid-back than I thought.

That's not it. It is my duty as a king. An inferior being like you wouldn't understand.

Don't be ridiculous. Even inferior civilians have their path! Especially, when it's related to our own territory.

Oh well... We've already defeated the large chested woman, so let's go ahead Fujimaru.

If we keep looking at those things, it'll mess up our sense of scale! More than enough is too much, you know?

Heh. No one who has more than enough says that. I will accept it as sour grapes.

Okay, okay. Ah, how about that Room No. 4? That is your room, right? Can we go inside?

You clean it up everyday, right?

Eh?

No! Absolutely not! If you go in, you will die! What the hell are you thinking?!
