"Don't be a bad loser!" "Once the stars come out, perhaps I will divine Shirou's fortune." "I am acting like one of those Iovestruck damseIs one hears about in fairy tales!" "Saber, have you seen Shirou?" "Rin?" "Do you know where Shirou is?" "IIIya's fever is climbing." "Kirameku namida wa hoshi ni." "Kaze ni nori sora o kazaru." "Tsukiakari kumo ni togirete mo, ...boku o terasu." "Massugu na reeru ga iya de, ...yamikumo ni kakedashita." "Akirame o ketsui ni kaete, ...surihetta kakato hokoru." "Michi wa tsuzuku, nishi e higashi e." "Hi wa shizundemo." "Kirameku namida wa hoshi ni." "Kaze ni nori sora o kazaru." "Tsukiakari kumo ni togirete mo, ...boku o terasu." "Episode 22:" "The result of a Wish" "She's almost reached her limit." "As long as the rite of the holy grail Wars continues, she won't return to normal." "What do you mean by "limit"?" "She still has a little free space left." "But once that fills up, she'II have to discard her human functions, the ones she needs the least." "IIIya was designed to break down the longer the holy grail Wars went on." "Don't worry, I worded that to make it hard to understand." "More importantly, I have news about Lancer's Master." "You've determined who it is?" "Yes." "I went to his lair." "AII that I found there were bloodstains and a left arm that had its Command seals ripped from it." "Lancer's Master was killed a Iong time ago." "Is Lancer already gone, then?" "You believe that he was beaten by another Servant after he attacked Shirou?" "The blood I found in that room was older than that." "My guess is that Lancer's Master was killed long before then." "Do you understand what that means?" "Someone stole Lancer's Master's Command seals and formed a new pact with him." "But Rin, that means" "Right." "Shirou and I are the only remaining Masters, ...but Lancer hasn't disappeared." "Which means that a Magus out there who didn't start out as a Master is one now." "Command seals can only be transplanted by a Master or a Servant." "No matter how skilled the Magus, he cannot become a Master by stealing Command seals." "So, explain one other thing to me." "Even if the holy grail disappears, if you still have your Command seals and a Servant, can you remain a Master indefinitely?" "Yes, I suppose so." "If he still had his Command seals and his Servant, ...a Magus would remain a Master even after the holy grail War ended." "In which case, the one who killed Lancer's Master and made a new pact with him was" "Yes, that's the only thing that makes sense." "It also explains Lancer's behavior if you work from that assumption." "He casually attacked other Servants without even trying to conceal his true identity." "You have a point." "It is standard procedure for Servants to kill an opponent who has seen your noble Phantasm." "His role was to scout out the enemy." "Lancer's Master had another combat-type Servant on hand." "still, what kind of Master would use a Servant of Lancer's caliber to do his preliminary investigations?" "Rin, where is Shirou right now?" "I don't know, that's why I asked YOU." "You don't suppose he went to see Kirei, do you?" "At that church?" "The air there is stagnant." "That church is not holy ground." "That staIeness is the same as in that cave." "It is the stagnant smell of death." "Shirou is there right now?" "AII by himself?" "Shirou!" "Hey there!" "You know, this is the second time that I've skewered that boy through the chest." "I added a little extra to make sure that he won't come back this time!" "Fiend!" "You used Gáe BoIg on Shirou!" "I missed his heart." "But he's feeling the curse all the same!" "No wound inflicted by this spear can ever be healed!" "I'm so glad that you're the Iast one left, Saber!" "It hurts..." "I can't do it." "I can't do it." "Send us back..." "I can't." "I can't save you people." "Give it back..." "I can't." "I can't save you people." "please..." "I can't." "I can't save you people." "W-Who's there?" "!" "That's quite enough!" "I suggest that you sheathe your sword." "If you have only come to retrieve this man, I will turn him over to you." "My role is to determine the owner of the holy grail." "If you wish, I can grant you the holy grail right now." "I thought it wasn't supposed to appear until only one Master was left." "Yes, but the vessel is another matter." "The vessel is prepared as a tangible object." "Power flows into it until the time the holy grail is summoned." "In this situation, in which only two Servants are left, I expect that it is nearly complete." "The holy grail is waiting to be filled with the blood of a human sacrifice." "I will gladly turn over the holy grail if a worthy person should present himself." "To that end, Shirou Emiya, ...for starters, I would Iike to hear what you have to say." "On that day ten years ago, you honestly felt no hatred?" "Ten years ago...?" "Stop it!" "It's too late for you!" "Stop it!" "There in the flames, under the rubble, everyone wanted to be saved." "But I ignored them all and kept walking." "I was only interested in saving myself." " Wait!" " help us!" "It wasn't like I couId do anything to help them." "So I didn't stop." "I ran on, ignoring the cries of the dying." "Considering what I had done, I thought that I absolutely had to live." "only one of us had our wish granted." "Everyone else died..." "That's why I was so obsessed with following in Kiritsugu's footsteps." "I Iooked up to champions of justice, people who saved lives." "In my empty heart, I thought that if I didn't move on in spite of what had happened..." "If I didn't hold my head high and move foreward, ...I'd never be forgiven by the people who died." "If it were possible to undo the events of that day, if you could do it all over again, ...you would desire the holy grail, wouldn't you?" "Come, answer me." "If that is what you want, I will give you the holy grail." "I don't want it..." "Even if I really could change the past, ...it wouId be wrong to take all the tears, the memories, ...the cruelty of reality that stabbed at our hearts," "...all the deaths and sadness that people have endured and overcome over the years, ...and make it all for nothing." "Embracing the pain and moving on." "Isn't that the only way to leave behind those you lost?" "Just like I've been tied down by their deaths and feel protected by my memories of Kiritsugu, ...I believe that emotions are the key to allowing the people who are alive now to change." "No matter how much it hurts, even if you carry wounds that will never heal, ...I believe that this path is the right one." "I see." "In other words..." "I don't need the holy grail." "I have to stay true to who I am, both for myself and for the people I abandoned..." "And what of you, Saber?" "surely you won't be as egotistical as Shirou Emiya." "I..." "Saber, kill your Master." "Do that, and your wish will come true." "My wish..." "There must be someone else who is worthier than I am to be king." "surely this person would be able to found a Iong-Iasting, peaceful kingdom." "I want to change the outcome of the selection of the king." "If I use the power of the grail to undo that, ...surely the kingdom's downfall would aIso" "I believe that this path is the right one." "Yes, that is right..." "I drew the sword from the stone, pledging to fulfill my duties as king." "I sacrificed a great many things and fought for my people." "I have no regrets on that score." "If I can be proud of what I accomplished in life, I should not have sought to change it." "Even if it ended in destruction." "The king protected his kingdom." "But the kingdom did not protect her king." "That is all it amounts to." "Even though it ended in tragedy, if the actions that led to that end were beyond reproach, ...there was no need to seek to change it." "I have sacrificed much with the aim of obtaining this change, ...yet there is something that I have protected to the end." "Yes, I would keep that something hidden in my heart, ...and I would at Ieast see this unfulfilled dream through to its end." "I do desire the holy grail." "However, I will not kill Shirou." "Do you not see, scoundrel?" "I want Shirou more than I want the grail." "If the grail is somethng that will taint me, I do not want it." "I have already acquired all that I have ever wanted." "Shirou, take my hand." "I've got my strength back..." "Saber, what just happened?" "Nothing can affect you as you are now, not even Gáe BoIg's curse." "You two are so tiresome..." "You two will die here." "allow me to introduce you." "This is the Epic Hero who was my partner in the Iast holy grail War." "It's you!" "What, we're going to finish things in a place like this, and with a nuisance underfoot, too?" "What's going on here?" "This guy is your Servant?" "After the Iast holy grail War ended, ...we entered into a partnership whereby I would provide him with the sustenance he required to remain here." ""Sustenance"?" "That's what that disgusting room is for?" "Why didn't you say anything to me?" "If I had, would you have fought alongside him?" "I'd sooner die." "So you were lying when you said you didn't know who he was!" "He showed himself to you, disobeying my instructions to wait and observe." "If you followed him, the trail would eventually lead back to me." "And so, I had to formulate a new plan of action." "Think about it." "I never once told you an outright lie." "This is a repeat of ten years ago, isn't it, Saber?" "Of course, I had been defeated by Kiritsugu, ...so I was unable to witness the final scene." "Finding myself in a corner, I touched the holy grail when it appeared." "And to think that it wouId have such a result." "So the fire was caused..." "By you trying to use the grail's power?" "I merely thought to myself that everyone in that area should just go away." "Even without my contact, the grail would have done the same thing." "Nonsense!" "The grail is nothing but a tool to grant the wish of its owner!" "How, then, does it go about granting those wishes?" "The holy grail is effectively a powerful weapon." "It is unadulterated power, one which only grants its owner's wish by means of destruction." "Then the holy grail that I have been seeking all this time is actuaIIy" "A cursed chalice that destroys everything but its owner." "GiIgamesh!" "Lancer!" "Dispose of this trash." " Don't leave my side." " Got it." "Your target is supposed to be that haIf-breed." "I changed my mind." "I want no part of this." "Lancer, what are you doing?" "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not switching over to your side or anything." "AII I'm doing is siding with my principles!" "Oh, you're breaking your pact with the holy grail almost within your grasp, eh?" "No Epic Hero gives a damn about a second chance at life!" "Lancer, not even you are a match for him one-on-one!" "Just get out of here!" "Don't think we're friends just 'cause I protected you!" "This is why I can't stand you weII-bred Knight Kings!" "Good luck to you." "To tell you the truth, I didn't like the idea of things ending this way, either." "If you hadn't done something, I would have." "You saying that you wanted to let Saber escape?" "Because that woman is my property." "But to complete the rite to summon the holy grail, one more Servant has to die." "You had this planned all along, didn't you?" "Shirou, Iet me see your injury." "Right..." "I'm sorry, this will hurt a little." "The pain, it's gone..." "I replenished the scabbard with mana." "Your wound will heal in a moment." "Scabbard?" "Wait, you mean excalibur's scabbard?" "Yes, the scabbard I once lost." "Shirou, that scabbard is now inside of you." "For an untrained Magus like you to summon me, ...a point of contact was needed to compensate for that lack of skill." "And that point of contact was excalibur's scabbard." "But what the heck is something like that doing inside me?" "It must be Kiritsugu's doing." "My dad?" "In the previous war, Kiritsugu used the scabbard as the catalyst to summon me." "The sacred sword's scabbard is a noble Phantasm that heals its owner." "Kiritsugu must have concluded that it wouId be more advantageous for him to keep it rather than return it to me." "Oh, so dad managed to win because he had the same ability I do?" "And then, when the battle was over, ...Kiritsugu came across a dying child among the charred ruins." "There was only one way that he could save that child." "The healing scabbard of the sacred sword." "By implanting it in the child, Kiritsugu saved the boy's fading life." "That is the source of your regenerative abilities." "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be using your scabbard this way." "Don't be." "Besides, it made me happy to Iearn of it, Shirou." "I had never managed to save anything, but I did save YOUR life, Shirou." "Kiritsugu was right." "I have no need of the holy grail." "He must have realized it." "realized that I can't go back and change things." "But in spite of that, I have been deceiving myself all this time." "Saber..." "Thank you." "Thanks to you, I now know the path I should take." "The holy grail and I are both dreams that never should have existed." "Even so..." "I hope that you will forgive me." "This was a misguided wish, and these were days that aren't meant to be." "But this weakness is a brief utopia gIimpsed by a certain young girl." "Saber, Iet's destroy the holy grail." "Yes." "I had faith that you would reach that conclusion, Master." "Fukai fukai mori no naka honoka kaoru itoshii hibi no omokage sagashite mireba fui ni anata ga warau." "Furete mitakute te o nobashite mo hakanaku chuu o matta no desu."
