ACT-12 "Discussing the Holy Grail"

...You're Lancer's Master?

I've been asked to participate in the Holy Grail War in his stead. You're Matou Kariya, Berserker's Master, right?

Yeah. You're going to keep your promise, right?

Of course. Archer is a serious threat to us as well.

But your Servant's Noble Phantasm can defeat him. If you want to deal with him, it'll help us a lot.

A one-on-one battle with the Tohsaka Servant, someplace where no one else will interfere.

You're going to provide us that? Here, in this forest?

More specifically, at the mansion deep in this forest.

Right now, Archer, Saber, and Rider are all there having a standoff.

Um, Lord El-Melloi, doesn't that mean they're all going to fight each other?

No, it doesn't.

All three of them have something they prize more than strategy: their pride as kings.

...I see. By the way, what is this forest? It's far away from Fuyuki's city limits.

This is an area the Einzberns set aside for the Holy Grail War. Of course, it has a powerful barrier.

Fou, fou!?

Wait, is it okay for us to just walk straight into a dangerous place like that?

It's not a problem. Rider destroyed all the alarms and defensive traps. There's no reason to worry.

Sounds like things are getting rough. What's going on inside there?

Heh. Listen to this.

They're just having a drinking party.

They're really drinking, Senpai!

What is Rider wearing... Also, is that a barrel?

And what's that cup-like thing with the long handle?

...Fou?

Hmm, I can't see what's going on since it's just audio, but it sounds like something unbelievable.

Oh? That's a strange pairing, I see.

Y-You people are...

Did you join forces with Berserker? Why?

A-Are you going to attack us here?

That's Tohsaka Tokiomi's Servant... Archer!

aaaa...

Who gave you permission to look upon me, mad dog? Your insolence warrants death!

If they're here to ruin our banquet, doesn't that mean that we'd all fight them together?

No. Those who violate my laws must be judged by my wrath. I am the King of Heroes, and none may stand against me.

I see. So you're laying down the law as a king, then? Then there's no reason for me to get involved.

Saber and her Master have no problem with that, I assume?

I'd like to ask them to take it somewhere else... But as long as they aren't attacking us, we've no reason to intervene.

Excellent! Then the terms for the battle are laid down! Berserker's only foe here is Archer.

We will intervene in the fight and take down Archer! Fujimaru, your orders!

Kill him! Crush him! Berserker!

A...uaaa!!
