Demon King of the Sixth Heaven - Akechi Mitsuhide

...This can't be right. If all my hard work...just ends like this...then it was for nothing...

Back when...I killed you...and fell to him...

Lady Nobunaga... Please, tell me...

I did all of this for you, Lady Nobunaga... I consumed a tainted Holy Grail...

I spent years on end planning your salvation...

What was different...? Why did you choose him over me...?

Okita Alter

Now I see...

You sought forgiveness.

Akechi Mitsuhide

...Forgiveness?

Is that what I wanted?

Forgiveness for killing Lady Nobunaga...?

...

I see...

I... I...

Your choice

We won...!?

Alter...!?

Akechi Mitsuhide

?!

Okita Alter

...Yes. It's all over now.

Your choice

Alter, your body...

...

Okita Alter

?!

...I'm afraid this is goodbye, Master.

This is the pact I made with the world.

I became a Guardian of the Counter Force, just once, to atone for changing my fate so I could live.

Your choice

So...you really have to go away...?

Just once...?

Okita Alter

?!

Sorry for all the trouble I caused you, Master. I'm grateful to you for guiding me when I knew nothing.

You said you are from Chaldea?

I would have liked very much to see it for myself. But it just is not to be.

I'm only a manifestation of the Counter Force. Now that my job is done, the only thing for me to do is disappear.

Your choice

No... No, I don't want you to go!

I don't want you to leave...!

Okita Alter

?!

Neither do I!!!

I want to spend so much more time with you!

I want to see so much more of the world!

I want to live so much more...!

I don't want to just disappear...!

Your choice

Alter...

Then come with me! Let's go back, together!

Okita Alter

?!

...I can't.

This is as far as I can go, as far as the life I borrowed from the world will take me.

Once it's gone...there won't be anything left.

Your choice

I don't care! Come on, Alter!

You can't just give up!

Okita Alter

?!

...Master.

Thank you for getting angry on my behalf...

...

Before I go, I have one last request.

Please, let me touch your face... Be with me... Here, by my side...

Your choice

Like this?

Alter, your hand...

Okita Alter

?!

...

...There. I can feel it.

I can feel your memories flowing into me.

I have so few memories from after I was born, so...

...I'm glad...I got to see your memories of Chaldea.

...These memories will be the only proof that I ever lived.

...Thank you, Master...

...Thank you for everything.

Nobukatsu

Uh, S-Sister!? This place isn't gonna last much longer! We've gotta get out of here!

Nobunaga

Shut it, Nobukatsu! This is nothing compared to Honnoji!

Hell, heat this mild just makes me want to break out my Atsumori dance moves.

Hijikata

Hey, man-slayer. You sure about this? The way things are going, you're going to end up buried alive.

Izo

Nobody gives me orders, especially not an overgrown wolf... Besides, I still have a job to do.

And I never leave a job unfinished.

Hijikata

...Hmph. Suit yourself.

Your choice

You guys...

Alter...

Hijikata

?!

Nobunaga

There you are, Fujimaru. Where's Okita? ...I see. So she managed to free Mitsuhide.

...I'm sorry for making you two clean up my mess.

Hijikata

...

Izo

Go on. Ryouma entrusted me with making sure you all get out of here safely.

If I let you die now, I'll never hear the end of it.

Nobukatsu

Hey! I'm the one who was saying we need to hurry and get outta here!

Da Vinci

There, we're finally back online! Are you all okay!?

Looking at how much clearer our picture is, I'm guessing the situation is pretty well handled!

Mash

That entire area is deteriorating! I'm also seeing space-time bubbles bursting at the Imperial Capital's outer edges!

You need to get out of there right now! Are you all right, Senpai!?

Your choice

Yeah, I'm okay.

...Uh-huh.

Mash

?!

...? Um, I don't see Sakamoto or Okita anywhere...

Da Vinci

We can ask about that later. Right now, we need to get Fujimaru out of there!

Izo

Looks like your ride is here. That's my job done, then.

Hijikata

Hmph. Izo of Tosa, eh? The next time we meet, I will kill you.

Izo

Right back at you, Shinsengumi.

Your choice

Come with us, Izo!

...Isn't there anything we can do?

Izo

?!

Forget it. I'm not like the rest of you; the Holy Grail summoned me here.

I'm not gonna last much longer no matter what, so just hurry up and get out of here.

Your choice

Izo... Thank you for helping us!

...Thank you, Izo! Take care!

Izo

?!

...Idiot. Is that way you say to a guy about to disappear?

Once an idiot, always an idiot.

...Well, Ryouma? You happy now?

Ryouma

Damn, so you figured out I was still around. Well that takes the wind out of my sails.

Izo

I knew you were probably faking your death just in case something else came up. I swear, can't take my eyes off you for a second.

Ryouma

She and I have a lot in common, so I thought better safe than sorry. But, it looks like I didn't have to worry.

Izo

Hmph... That's just like you.

But, I guess it's kind of nice getting to talk to you like this, here at the end.

Ryouma

True. I wonder how long it's been since we last talked, just the two of us.

Oryou

Hey, Oryou is right here.

Ryouma

Right, right. Just the three of us, then.

Izo

Hmph... You always were a great fool.

That much never changed...
