All Settled!
Dazzling Casino Out West, Las Vegas. Las Vegas Strip
1 scenes, 128 lines
1. Before the battle
128 lines...And with that, it was gone.
The demon that possessed the Holy Grail in western North America disappeared along with the fleeting, dazzling version of Las Vegas like so much sea-foam.
That is to say...
This was nothin' less than the female Musashi's incredible art of swordsmanship!
A special Spirit Origin born to humiliate, decimate, and utterly crush swordfighters who had fallen to evil, wickedness, and wrongdoing!
Her mystic sword counter...also known as the Anti-Swordsman and Anti-Swordmaster Grand Bounded Field Ganryu-jima.
Using the wind created from the five rings of her swordsearth, water, fire, wind, and void...
...she whips up a flood of seawater to surround her opponent, before slicin' 'em like the cascade of a waterfall clean in half!
Now that's how ya get rid of a Heavenly Demon!
I'm not so sure about that Hokusai. There are other Noble Phantasms that can...
Nevermind, my apologies.
Honestly, I'm kind of in the same boat.
Usually, I'm happy to move on if all's well that ends well, but there is such a thing as being too willing to let bygones be bygones.
If nothing else, I hope this makes you think twice about cooking anything in a Holy Grail of all things again.
Seriously, you might as well inject it directly into your Spirit Origin at that point.
It's a mind-bogglingly dangerous thing to do. There's no telling what could happen, and not in a good way.
I mean, does it really matter how good the rice you cook in a Holy Grail might be...
...if it ends up creating a swordnado that lays waste to everything in its path?
... ...
...Hmm. Well, maybe it wouldn't hurt to try Holy Grail Rice just once, in a controlled enviro
Nope, nope, nope, not going there! All that matters now is that you resolved the Singularity and made it back safely!
Welcome back, guys! You did great!
The minute Singularity in western North America's already begun to self-destruct. It should still stick around for a while, but that's okay.
The important thing is, it should no longer be able to affect humanity. Mission complete!
...Well, for the most part, anyway.
Musashi, we've still got a lot left to say to you, so you're not going anywhere for the time being.
I'll say! I genuinely don't know where to begin!
All right, for starters...!
Holy Grail Rice!? What in the world were you thinking!?
This undoes all the good work you did in Russia and then some!
Servant Miyamoto Musashi! I'm putting together a special program for you that is damn sure gonna make you turn over a new leaf!
Hahahaha. It sounds like you got up to some delightful mischief. I think I would have enjoyed it.
But you should probably try to stay out of trouble for a while. Yes, the next time you think to make rice...
And you happen to see a Holy Grail...
Please. Give me a call.
...You cooked rice in a Holy Grail?
That seems an act of pure insanity, but I suppose you would not have done so unless there were truly no alternative.
Congratulations on your safe return, Lady Musashi. Rest well. You have earned it.
...Hmm. Cooking rice in a Holy Grail, huh...
Hm?
Well now, if it isn't Lady Musashi. I am glad to see you and Master returned safely.
To think that a single meal could lead to such an ordeal... But then, I would expect no less from one of your caliber.
...
......
............
Musashi?
...You won't do it again, right?
？！
I'm sorry...
I'm so, so sorry...
Even at the time, I vaguely remember thinking this could destroy the entire western seaboard...
...and hoping I could do something to fix it without causing too much trouble.
But then, instead of taking responsibility, I pretended to be someone I'm not, and...
...I'm really, really sorry.
I know, Musashi. It's okay.
It's all right. I know you didn't mean for this to happen.
？！
...Thanks, Fujimaru. That's really nice of you...
... ...
......
......Sorry again.
There she was: the great Shinmen Musashi Harunobu, looking sadder and sorrier than I'd ever have imagined possible.
'Course, she wouldn't be deterred for long. The next day...
Okay, I'm gonna get going now!
I know I caused a whole lot of trouble this time, and believe me, I've had a change of stomacher, heart.
No more Holy Grail Rice for me, no matter how hungry I get!
Later, Fujimaru!
The next time we meet... I promise I'll make this up to you!
And just like that, she was gone with the wind.
Man, she was so cool. I dunno why she keeps leavin' Chaldea to go off on these journeys all by herself...
But even though she comes from a completely different time, place, and world, she still don't think twice about it...
...Now that's my kind of woman.
Well, there ya have it.
They do say this lady Musashi's pretty different from the one in our history, but she's still a hell of a gal.
And I got ta play at bein' a swordfighter alongside her, like we were in the same league. Ain't that right, Master?
Man, that's great. I couldn't ask for anythin' more.
Hokusai...
？！
C'mon, cheer up! It ain't like I'm gonna die an' go back ta the Throne! I'm just goin' back ta my regular Spirit Origin!
Sure, I've never done this before, so I dunno what's gonna happen...but I'll still be me.
I'm still your Servant, Katsushika Hokusai. That ain't gonna change.
Well, see ya!
I've confirmed a change in Katsushika Hokusai's Spirit Origin!
Now that the Grand Canyon Singularity has been repaired, the effect on her Spirit Origin should go away too!
...Heya, Master.
...It's all right. I remember everythin' that happened. I'm still the same person I was before.
I remember the Las Vegas where I fought Lady Musashi...
And wearin' a swimsuit...
And bein' a swordfighter painter with four swords...
...who dreamed about becomin' a fairy...
... ...
Lookin' back now, it's hard to believe I did all that. I never even held a sword before, and I don't even know if that story I heard 'bout my ancestors bein' swordfighters is true or not...
M-man, I sure had a lotta nerve actin' like a big shot swordfighter painter... And fairy? Where'd I even get all that?
...I was really kinda all over the place, wasn't I?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What was I thinkin', actin' so childish!?
F-f-f-f...
Forget you saw anythin'!!!
Hokusai!?
P-p-please, Master, just forget that all happened! That was me actin' out my most embarrassin' childhood dreams... I never meant for anyone ta actually see 'em!
Aw c'mon, you were really badass!
I loved it! The Swordbeauty Mad About Art!
Um, Senpai, I think that remark only made her feel worse!
Forget ya saw anythiiin'!!!
...And that's the long and short of it.
Shamelessness and anxiety are both inextricable aspects of who we are.
Like I said, no matter how much we may struggle against 'em, it wouldn't make any difference.
I never thought the mistakes I made when I was young would come back to bite me like this...
...but even so, I'll still say this:
Everyone makes mistakes during the hopelessly childish period of their lives.
Along with the not-so-childish period.
But then again...you can't lump all mistakes together.
Even if I'm embarrassed to death by these things now, there was a time when I used to believe in 'em proudly.
Besides...putting 'em in context of everything that happened this time...
...I can't say they were all that bad. After all...
...Hey, Toto-sama?
Even though I'm still so embarrassed it feels like my face is gonna burst inta flames...
...it still kinda turned out all right in the end, don't ya think?
Everyone's 'shamed of somethin' in their past. But it's all part of what makes up our memories.
Life ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Ya never know what's gonna happen in it, good or bad.
And since this latest incident inspired me to paint a picture this evocative...
...I figure it couldn'ta been all that bad.
I mean, just look how this picture came out, Toto-sama!
She's one of the strongest swordfighters ta ever live, an' here she is lookin' sadder and sorrier than anythin' ya ever seen.
Lady Musashi, huh. I like that.
One of these days, I'd love ta grab a drink with her in this Spirit Origin...
I bet we'd have a whole lot ta talk about!
