Ghh! This is the least comfortable vehicle I've ever been on!
I'm getting dizzyyyyyy!
Hold on tight, Master!
Will do! ...Whoaaa!
Okay! ...Wait. Waaah!
Oh, for...! She JUST told you!
Grab on to me, Fujimaru!
Sorry about this, Setanta!
No problem! Just hold on tight so you don't get thrown off!
Th-thanks, Draco.
Heh, not bad. Not bad at all.
Seeing you cling so desperately and disgracefully to my juvenile body is most amusing. Hehehe.
？！
We're almost out of the Fourth Singularity!
So this is the Third Singularity!
Now that it's collapsed, there's not a trace of land to be found.
All the islands are underwater now. Nothing but eternally raging seas in all directions.
Haha. It looks very much like a scene taken from the apocalypse.
What do we do now, Lady Nero?
We never collected the Incarnadine Demonic Beasts and we can't go back for them now. Not in this mess.
Do not worry, Locusta.
The Incarnadine Demonic Beasts will come to us; they have no intention of letting us escape.
...No sooner spoken than proved. Prepare yourselves.
...
Damn thing followed us here all the way from the Fourth Singularity.
I thought I told her to defeat it. Hmph. I should have known the only Beast I can count on is myself.
Don't you go slandering me!
Yikes, you scared me! But I'm glad to see you, Tiamat!
Tiamat! You're here, too!? That's great!
？！
Tch. So, you survived...
Of course! The sea is Mother's domain! A little storm like this isn't even worth getting my umbrella out!
Well, no matter. If you are here, you can help us. Taking on two Incarnadine Demonic Beasts at once is beyond even my ability.
Annnd of course it followed us here, too.
So what the hell's going on here, Sodom's Beast? Why're your own incarnadines attacking you?
I cannot say. All I know is that they have become self-aware.
And it seems, for whatever reason...they do not particularly care for me.
...
GRRR...AAAAAAH!
So we're at sea, in the middle of a storm, with no stable footing anywhere, and we have to fight...those things. Fuuun...
Lady A?
What is it?
Huh!? Something's rising up from the bottom of the ocean!
Gyaaaaaah!
Is that...a ship!?
That's not just any ship!
That's the Golden Hind!
？！
That's right! It's the last gift Francis Drake left behind after she fought to the bitter end on this floor!
And the one who breathed new life into it after it sank is
...
And she didn't even have any magical energy to spare at the time! I swear, every King Arthur I meet is entirely too reckless!
I see. Indeed, they are both kings of the storm embarking on their own Wild Hunts.
Very well! Then by my Authority as a Beast, I am commandeering this vessel!
Gula! Acedia! This has gone on long enough! Let us end it here and now!
...
I do not know why you are attacking me and I will not ask. For one thing, to do so would be meaningless.
How sapient you may be or what you might intend make no difference.
You are simply malfunctioning, for you are all no more than clones of me.
...Right you are, Nero.
...
Nero... My dear, sweet, clone doll...
...
...It is time you returned to your place within me. Begone with you!

51 linesThis ends now!
...
...We don't want to die.
Shut up.
...Ghh.
Are you okay, Lady Nero?
...I am fine, Locusta. You need not worry about me.
Incarnadine Demonic Beasts Gula and Acedia have returned to me.
That finally makes five. Rejoice, Fujimaru.
It will not be long now before I regain my true Beast form.
...Only two left. But
Two more to go... But
？！
Yes. I know what you are thinking.
It was clear those Incarnadine Demonic Beasts had it out for you, even though they're part of you.
No, it wasn't just them.
Ira tried to swallow you all up with its mud in the sixth imitation Singularity.
In the fifth imitation Singularity, Invidia broke its seal and corroded the Mad King from within.
And all without your knowledge or intent.
...Yes, Beast of the Stars. You are correct.
The incarnadines are very clearly fighting against me of their own accord.
Their rebellion must be tied somehow to the reason for this Spiral Proof World becoming so twisted.
Is this what Georgios and Sita were talking about?
Hmm. Maybe, maybe not.
Ugh, I hate when you mages refuse to give a straight answer.
Me? I'm just everyone's favorite lady of flowers.
...
The ladder is here.
...Are you sure about this, Lady Nero?
What do you mean?
Well...the next Singularity is
Stop right there, Locusta.
Hngh! I'm sorry...
Next is the second imitation Singularity...the ancient Roman Empire.
So, it's time to go back to the Roman Empire, huh?
？！
Right you are! It's your city, Draco. The one built atop the seven hillsthe Septem Montes.
...
And no doubt, the Incarnadine Demonic Beast there will be waiting for you deep in those depths.
Are you ready to face it?
...It does not matter.
Neither the Incarnadine Demonic Beasts' rebellion, nor the Septem Montes, matter. Not once have I devoured them all.
More importantly...if anyone should steel himself for what lies ahead, it is you, Fujimaru.
It will not be long now before I have regained my true form.
...
...Draco.
？！
Once I do, this accursed contract of ours will be over.
But worry not. I am a benevolent ruler. I will reward you for the hard work and devotion you have shown me.
I will devour you, and your Chaldea, down to the very marrow of your bones.
You may rest assured that I will bear witness to your final moments.
