Epilogue

Welcome back, Senpai!

We could tell from here that the minute Singularity's all repaired. Great job, Fujimaru.

I'm just sorry we weren't able to stay in contact, and that we messed up with the Servants we sent to accompany you.

？！

Oh. Um, probably.

Huh!?

When I tweaked the Singularity to make it fairy tale-themed...

...I also made some adjustments to make it easier to summon my dark mother goddess, so...

Huh...

Ah.

I-I, um... I'm sorry. I'm Molay, by the way...

(Molay... As in, the Heroic Spirit of Jacques de Molay!?)

Ahaha. So how did you come here to Chaldea, Molay?

I thought I'd come back with Puppy, since we were both headed here anyway.

...

But what're YOU doing here!?

Oh, uh, me?

Well, see, uh, I sort of forgot to tell you something, so I kind of just...tagged along.

Don't worry, I'll keep it brief and then head back to the Throne. I don't have a Holy Grail or a Singularity anymore, so...

？！

Oh yeah, that reminds me of something I wanted to ask. Who was the prince, anyway?

That's it. That's what I wanted to tell you.

See, I ran into him while Zenobia and the seven hotties were vanishing, and he filled me in on what I missed.

Anyway...

It sounds like you unwittingly rejected the prince, Elly.

Huh?

I can't imagine ever doing that. I mean, Prince Charming is like, THE staple in fairy tales...

I know. Which is why I think it's probably because of the role I chose to play.

So I'm guessing he wasn't the handsomest prince then.

No way! I'm not that shallow! Looks are just one factor in evaluating a potential partner!

I-I mean, different people certainly have different tastes, but just being a prince is a huge advantage!

？！

Me too. Including a number of female ones.

Hmm. All right, so who'd you go with, anyway?

Here, I'll show you! Come on out, Mr. Prince!

Understood.

Th-that cool, gravelly voice! Don't tell me it's

？！

Hello.

I knew iiit!

？！

What?

？！

...I-I'm sorry, I won't deny he's handsome, but he's just too OLD to be a prince!

A king, I could understand, but a prince? No way!

I can't argue with that.

So instead of breaking off the engagement, you'd rather lecture the prince who broke it off instead, huh?

？！

While we're on the subject, I could only think of her as a granddaughter, too. Fairy tales and romance haven't ever been a part of my life.

Hey, who even picked him as my prince to begin with!?

Does this mean I subconsciously think of much older men as princes...?

No, that can't be it!

I'm looking at him right now, and he just doesn't seem like a prince to me at all!

Just a guess, but did you happen to run into him right before going to the Singularity?

What should I dooo♪ For this year's Halloweeen♪

Hm.

Hm?

That's right. It's almost Halloween, isn't it? I'll have to stock up on candy then.

Thank you.

No problem!

I don't know what that was all about, but I guess I just racked up some good karma?

(Hummm)♪ It feels good to do goood♪

Hm? That's weird. It feels like someone is calling me somewhere...

(Losing consciousness)

...And the next thing you knew, you were in the Singularity?

Are you KIDDING me!?

Hey, it doesn't take much to accidentally "cast" someone you know in a dream, right?

And the Palmyra Singularity was basically no different from a dream.

Hmm. I can't tell if that's profound or not.

I can't, either. I suppose it's true in the sense that it wasn't ordinary reality, but...

See? YOU guys get it! ...Oh. Looks like my time is up.

Well, um, it's not like I formed any positive bonds with you guys...

...so I guess we'll never see each other agai

？！

...Oh?

Innnteresting. Oh, that's not sarcasm, by the way. I mean it.

Well, you know. I'm a twisted heretic who puts the "Innocent" in "Innocent Monster" now...

But if you're sure you can handle that, then I'm sure we'll meet again some day.

If you should happen to summon me, I'll do my best to become your shield and protect you from all kinds of harm.

Sh-shield!? D-did you say "shield"!?

Hehehe. I think my chances are preeetty good.

Okay, au revoooir.

...She's definitely gonna get up to more hijinks if she's summoned.

？！

Oh well. At least I've got yet another me-variant thanks to this fairy tale Singularity now...

So I guess all's well that ends Elly.

Besides, it's just not a fairy tale without a happy ending!

And now, to cap it all off...

Hello! I'm a musical idol princess!

I'm the unrivalled Elisabeth Cinderella, and I come from a world of fairy tales!

I slash my enemies to ribbons with my glass slippers, and crush them beneath my pumpkin carriage!

Thank you for your support!

？！

Now then, without further ado...

It's time for the traditional, New Elisabeth Báthory Version Debut Concert!

First I'll gather all the others, then I'm gonna sing my heart out!
