Dolby: The Sound Of High Definition II

That's good enough for today.

About time.

This is proof of Yggdmillennia's greatness!

Artificial humans who possess magic circuits: homunculi!

The previous homunculus failed.

Try this next.

Understood! I'll order it prepared.

No. No.

Move. Move.

Strasse Gehen.

Just what does she think I am?

What are you doing?

You'll catch a cold dressed like that.

Help... me...

Sure thing!

Where should I take you?

Master could barge into my room at any time.

Rider.

Caster is looking for an escaped homunculus. Have you seen anything suspicious?

Nope.

Pardon us.

Good luck, everyone!

Oh, that's the perfect spot!

How could a homunculus escape its tank on its own?

Speculation won't change the facts.

We must accept reality and move forward.

But if he'd made it outside, the barrier would've reacted.

So he is still on castle grounds.

Let's go.

That homunculus might be the power source I've been seeking for Adam's heart.

It would seem he almost lost control of his magic circuits.

That and exhaustion.

Exhaustion?

He's probably never walked in his life before.

Huh?

He's like a battery but for magical energy.

I see. So he's basically like a newborn, huh?

Why did you help him, Rider?

Because I felt like it.

Caster seems to be searching for him.

Like I care!

I'll leave you alone for a while.

I doubt anyone will come here,

but do not respond even if someone knocks.

Appreciate it!

Rider, do you intend to be responsible for him until the end?

I'll help him for as long as I feel is necessary.

I don't like letting people die.

Ruler has come to Romania.

She is headed for Trifas.

We've dispatched Lancer.

Even the judge herself shouldn't be able to stand against his might.

Let's pray for good news.

It's dangerous here. Please turn back.

How could I leave a young girl alone on the road at night?

I beg of you.

I recognize you to be the Ruler-class Servant.

En garde.

Lancer of Red.

The hero-god Karna, son of the sun god Surya.

Oh?

I am the judge of the Grail War, Jeanne D'Arc.

Do you comprehend the meaning of attacking me?

Stating the obvious is the hallmark of the fool.

I am here. That alone should make my intents clear.

What would you gain by stopping me?

I do not know.

My Master ordered me to. Thus, as per my contract, I act.

Lancer...

It is time, Ruler.

I do not intend to consider your position nor hold back.

I shall end this in one strike, no more.

Get him, Saber!

Are you the Saber of Black?

In which case, you too must be after Ruler.

That was a close call, Ruler.

We came here for you.

Saber of Black and his master.

Indeed.

I am Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia.

Now then!

Lancer of Red!

We witnessed you trying to murder Ruler.

Attempting to kill the hero who is to oversee the Holy Grail War is an outrageous violation of the rules.

Undeniable.

Of course, now that a member of the Black Faction has shown himself, that shall take priority.

Silence!

Between my Saber and her, Ruler, you don't stand a chance!

Wrong.

If you are going to fight here, I will not be involved.

Don't worry. I shall not interfere.

Excuse me?

Lancer of Red's attempt on my life and his fight with Saber of Black are two separate issues.

As Ruler, my duty is to oversee the fight.

You hoped to fight me two-on-one? Not that I mind.

Saber, kill him! Crush Lancer of Black!

I see. We should enjoy this fight to the death.

Long ago, I met a man who had eyes just like yours.

He was a true hero down to his core.

I see the same eyes staring at me now—thus our encounter is no accident, but fate.

I am Karna, son of the sun god.

Come and face the might of my spear.

I am the travelling knight from the Netherlands, Siegfried.

Brace yourself!

Sir Siegfried!

Siegfried!

Our hero!

Help me!

Who is that knight?

My liege, that is my friend, Siegfried.

He defeated the evil dragon with the magic sword Balmung.

The dragon's blood has made him invincible.

Oh? He's the dragon slayer?

Sir Siegfried, please deal with the thieves who live in the mountains!

I will do it.

Please, Siegfried!

Avenge my lover!

Siegfried!

Hero!

Wishes are not inherently good or evil.

I'm but a means to fulfill their wishes.

That is enough.

Siegfried, this country wants you dead.

That is fine. I hope my death can put an end to this war.

But what was my own wish?

What was I seeking?

We are heroes,

warriors who've died fighting, seeking the path.

Even in this second life we've been given, that has not changed.

You have pierced my dragon armor.

Your skill, legend and struggle are laudable.

Help us! Karna is your enemy as well.

As I said earlier, I shall not interfere.

Show yourself, Master of Red!

You dog of the Mages' Association!

Face me in combat!

I know you're watching!

Damn it all.

I'm a Master!

Is this it?

The sun will rise before our fight concludes.

While that does not bother me, the same cannot be said of your Master.

I hope our next encounter will suffer no such interruption.

Indeed.

I am honestly grateful I got to fight you, Saber of Black.

Hold, Lancer of Red!

That was a wonderful fight.

Ruler, would you now come with us to Castle Millennia?

No. I must stay neutral.

But there is no better place to survey the area than our domain!

I am able to oversee the whole Trifas area at once. No need for concern.

I see.

We're leaving, Saber!

Something feels off with this Grail War.

I should first head to Trifas.

Help!

It hurts...

Help...

Don't go!

Help!

Who are you?

Oh, you're up!

I'm Astolfo!

I totally saved you! Do you remember? I did that!

Thank you.

That's Chiron. He's an Archer-class.

Rider...

Oh, we weren't supposed to use our true names?

You didn't hear anything! Forget it!

Rider. Archer.

He's scared.

No surprise.

I know you're already terrified, but I must tell you that you have at most three more years to live.

I know.

You are a homunculus. In a sense, you are a perfect creature.

You should contemplate.

Contemplate?

Contemplate what to do in your short life.

I don't know.

Still.

Otherwise there would be no difference between living or dying here.

Die...

Let's go, Rider. He'll need some time alone to reflect.

Fine...

See you!

Where did Berserker go?

H-Hey.

Actually...

Why not take the time to tell me about yourself?

You're very different from what I heard in the stories.

The genius Viktor Frankenstein created an artificial human from body parts.

He called you a filthy monster and ran away.

You caught up to him and begged him to create a partner for you.

He rejected your request

and you ended your life in self-immolation.

So you wish for a partner who is just like you?

What about the homunculi in the castle? They're a lot like you.

Or maybe not, huh?

What do I want?

I'm not sure.
