We're canceling the operation!
Retreat!
I repeat!
We're canceling the operation! Retreat!
You're kidding me, John!
We're canceling the operation! Retreat!
We're canceling the operation! Retreat!
Retreat!
All hands, retreat!
Slaughterer of chaos...
I did not think I could exert this much power against a human.
You are willing to call me a human...
even though I am in this guise?
Appearance is trivial.
I know not your name...
but I promise I will engrave this past battle into my heart.
I'm sorry, Master.
I shall make the Little Red Riding Hood burned within you fade.
Participate in the Holy Grail War...
Ayaka Sajyou.
If you don't want to be devoured by Little Red Riding Hood.
Saber...
We should hide. It's dangerous.
No.
As Master of the King of Heroes,
I have a duty to continue watching him to the very end.
I do not have many elements that allow me to reach you.
However...
When it comes to speed, I can win!
Ex...
calibur!
How naive!
Excalibur!
Excalibur!
Ex...
calibur!
Why you little...
Ex...
calibur!
Miss, is your body feeling all right?
Huh?
Oh, come to think of it, I might be feeling a little sluggish.
"A little"?
Miss...
What...
are you?
Tsubaki Kuruoka's room is the rightmost one from our viewpoint on the top floor.
Much appreciated.
Leave the rest to me.
No, wait a minute.
I'll go with you.
You've made a wise choice, boy.
Say earlier...
if you had left this lovely lady behind and retreated by yourself...
I would have carved your heart out, crushed it, kneaded it with sand...
and scattered it into the slop for pigs to feed on!
But you really made the worst choice.
I will never allow a diminutive human...
to even attempt walking alongside my beloved!
Envelop in the black blades...
Zabani—
Jester Karture.
How many bullets...
are left within you?
Damn you.
How'd you get intel on me?
Are you all right, Mr. Jack?
Master...
You transported a half-dead Heroic Spirit?
You are likely the only fool who would use a Command Spell for this.
If we defeat that person, will Mr. Ja...
Berserker's Spirit Origin revive?
Jack is fine now.
You see it, don't you?
Yes.
The Spirit Origins have fused within him.
It's as if they melted together...
inside something that looks like mud.
I'm afraid that even if you defeat him...
my power will not return to me.
Not unless I truly disappear and then get resummoned from the Throne.
But if we do so, will that Mr. Jack be a different person than you are now?
Wait.
Stop right there, whoever it is!
Oh brother.
You shouldn't make an author do physical labor.
My name is Dumas.
Alexandre Dumas.
Ever heard of me?
What? Why would a Heroic Spirit disclose his True Name—
M-Mr. Dumas? Which one?
The general under Napoleon?
Or the author of The Three Musketeers?
No, perhaps The Lady of the Camellias?
The second one. You sure know your stuff.
Of course I would know!
I watched the movie, the anime and the puppet play of The Three Musketeers!
Well, I thank you for that.
But you're pretty difficult to figure out, kid.
You jumped into the conversation while setting up a spell in my shadow.
That's definitely a Mage. However...
even when the spell was completed,
you got worked up and kept talking about The Three Musketeers.
That's not like a Mage.
Huh? I mean, I set it up because I'd be in danger if you were an enemy.
But if I executed it and you weren't an enemy, I'd be wasting Magical Energy,
and it would be bad for you.
You know, kid, you don't act like a Mage...
but are you prepared to throw your life into a pot for your objective?
This is not mere recklessness, either.
W-Wait, that's...
So, you can still move.
Ridiculous. Hmm?
Mage, you have come out of the cellar.
P-P-Play Ball!
Master!
I'll leave it up to the boy whether he does it or not.
Jack the Ripper.
Being able to become anyone is the best ingredient ever.
By mixing that and the boy's presence, I can fortify your powers temporarily.
But I can't even imagine what kind of side effects the Master will have...
after being stewed with a street slasher.
Oh? Is that it?
Huh?
Musketeers' Masquerade!
What?
Game Select!
Running through a part of Mr. Jack's Noble Phantasm power
you stole is a spell I injected...
that confuses the flow of Magical Energy.
There's no way you can do that—
It would have been impossible unless I got this close.
Y-You could have transformed into your Master and casted the spell.
That would have been the same.
Why did your Master take the risk to stand on the battlefield?
Because he holds something that I cannot.
Archer's Master has already used up all the Command Spells, right?
If there was even one stroke left,
the power of that connection would have repelled it.
You have eyes that can see through that deeply!
However...
I'm not done yet!
At this rate—
The actor showed some courage.
That makes me want to fix up the logic a bit.
Guys like you are the ones...
that should become heroes.
