1. Before the battle
69 linesCleanliness is filth. Filth is cleanliness.
Look at this world. Look at what our glory has wrought.
It's like a sweet fruit, near to bursting with rot. Like a flower growing to bloom from a corpse.
This world is...irredeemably ugly. We know that. We all know that.
And yet...we still want to live? Even sin has its limits.
...Save me. Save poor, pitiful ■■■■■■■■.
Save me... Help me... Reach out and take my hand...
Somebody, talk to me. Somebody, listen to me.
What right do you have to cling to life? No matter how much I vomit, it's never enough.
...This place is even worse than hell.
It's a land of purgatory...a true dead end.
We are the flames of passion, a rain of meteors, an empire of power...
Bring the poisoned chalice here. Lift the golden goblet to your lips.
Here you go. It's Cordyceps.
That's freakin' herbal medicine, not food!
What can you tell me about this London?
So what happened in the fourth imitation Singularity?
？！
The Fourth Singularity used to be exceptionally well-imitated, so I am sure even you can imagine what it was like.
In the original Singularity, the Massive Steam Engine Angrboda, which was powered by the Holy Grail, lay underground.
In the fourth imitation Singularity, Angrboda should be using Incarnadine Demonic Beast, Gula, as a power source instead.
You think that's also where we'll find the Floor Guardian?
I do. It will most likely be an Alter of King Arthur. That is, the King of the Storm who was both blessed by the sacred spear and cursed by the Holy Grail.
That's assuming there's nothing weird going on again, right?
But since it's kinda been nothing BUT weird shit this whole time, I'd bet on more of the same.
...That is true. I must accept that this Spiral Proof World is very different from the one I knew.
At this point, even I can no longer predict what awaits us in the fourth imitation Singularity. All I can do is urge caution.
We just arrived at the fourth imitation Singularity!
...Let us be on our way.
Huh!?
My body's...so heavy... And it's hard...to breathe...
Whoa, whoa, what the hell? This is crazy!
I don't know...if I can handle this...
Is the...Demonic Fog...doing this...?
？！
Hold on. I thought you were immune to poison.
I am certain the Demonic Fog had no effect on you in the original Fourth Singularity.
This isn't poison, Lady Nero.
Well, there's a bit of poison mixed in, but it's not what's affecting us.
Are you sure? I certainly have no reason to doubt you, but...
How about you tell us what IS affecting us? Is it a curse or something?
That, I don't know. Anything not poison-related is kind of out of my wheelhouse, so...
Still, I think... Um... It's probably more of a conceptual kind of thing.
...Someone's here. A child?
Is that...a kid?
？！
No way. No human could survive in this.
...Save us.
Please...save us...
Save us... Save us...
Save us save us save us save us save us save us save us save us save us save us save us save us...
Aaah! Somebody save meee!
Tch! Vexing little pests!
Quit griping! It's not as if we can fight at our best here!
Please...help us...
Save us...
Take our hands...
Ridiculous. Wishes absent desire are as bland as tasteless liquor.
How unfortunate for you that I have no interest in passing pebbles without so much as a name.
If it is salvation you seek, you had best find a saint or a savior to cling to.
...We don't want to die.
We were washed away. The water at the bottom is so dark and cold.
Please. Give us warmth. Give us light.
We don't want love that burns like fire. We don't want passion that sears with its heat.
All we want is quiet, gentle, soothing love. So please.
Please, talk to us. Please, listen to us.
Please, please...love me.
...Mommy.
...
2. After the battle
14 linesYou bother me. Begone.
Eep... What were those creepy things? If I never see another by the numbers vengeful ghost, it'll be too soon.
...That was Jack's doing.
？！
So that was Jack the Ripper, huh.
Gotcha. Guess that's what the one who isn't in Chaldea is like.
It is only a matter of time until the original attacks us as well. Even so...this is...
Oof... This is really not a great time for us to be dealing with MORE attacks...
We might be safe from the fog inside a building.
Maybe we can escape the fog by going indoors.
？！
That was certainly the case in the original Fourth Singularity. I only hope it holds true here as well.
So I guess the plan is to stay safe and make our way down to Angrboda as quick as we can.
And here we go.Well, our journey's been a lot of things, but I'll say this for it: it sure ain't boring!
