Ritsuka: Because that's what she called herself. Kojirou: If you don't know her well, then why declare her to be Miyamoto Musashi? Ritsuka: I thought this might be a good chance to learn more. Ritsuka: I don't know very much about her, you see. Kojirou: Might you be planning to summon said swordmaster to our Chaldea? The final volume reads more like a treatise on philosophy, you know. But beyond that, it presents itself as a riddle.
Kojirou: It's easily seen as a military text, an instructional manual in which Miyamoto Musashi recorded all of his swordsmanship and techniques. Kojirou: That Book of Five Rings, eh? You've touched upon quite the mystery. Kojirou: Ha ha ha! Don't look so shocked. I have to admit, the implications have me curious. Mash: There must be two separate Musashis, female and male. Mash: Senpai, from what you've told us about Musashi. Mash: It's the legacy of the male Musashi in our world's human history. Mash: This is our data on the Book of Five Rings. Kojirou: I happened upon them just as the topic arose. Kojirou: Master and Mash-dono were in the middle of a conversation about that woman Musashi.ĭa Vinci: You mean that swordswoman Ritsuka-kun met in a dream? Shuten: Master was already laid out on the ground when I came into the room.ĭa Vinci: So she says. Shuten: Like I said, I didn't do a thing. I'm sure Mash is taking this the hardest.
Geronimo: They've been on this journey longer than any of us. Geronimo: Personally, I'm more worried about her. Tamamo: Now's the time to redouble our efforts! I swear on my name as a good wifely Servant, I will rescue our Master! Since we can't observe what she's seeing and we can't pinpoint the cause, we've given up for now. Though, she is exhibiting her unique pattern of dreaming. Geronimo: Physically, she's in perfect health. Geronimo: We can't figure out the cause of her coma. Mozart: So, how fares our unconscious Master? Tamamo: Water! Water! Gimme that sweet nectar! Inshun: As one who reveres the Dharma, allow to give you a sermon or two! Musashi: We're in your debt, Inshun-dono! Inshun: And I happen to be one well-suited to dealing with your kind! Those who stink of blood as you do have no place in this era of peace!
Inshun: Listen up, you devils who call yourself Swordmaster Heroic Spirits! Inshun: You'll need to carry both O-Nui and Tasuke. Inshun: If you flee, Musashi will follow. Inshun: My Noble Phantasm can even counter opponents I'm facing for the first time. Inshun: And I happen to excel in these situations. Once we lose the initiative, our defense will fail with it. Inshun: This is a fierce and unfamiliar battlefield. Shuten: My pure name is Berserker Saṃghāta. Ritsuka: (Is that her Noble Phantasm!? But she hasn't even invoked its true name!) It doesn't matter whether we know you or like you. Shuten: We've all gone quite mad, you see. On the contrary, if she's been summoned by a different spellcaster, then it's natural that this Shuten Douji would be different from the one we know at Chaldea.)
Ritsuka: (Servants don't share memories of their other summonings. Shuten: If you know who I am, you'll just have to forgive me. Shuten: Don't you have quite the heated gaze, dear. Ritsuka: (One of the Servants I've contracted with at Chaldea.) Ritsuka: (That voice and that dialect, I knew it.) Shuten: If I had to pick, I'd say that I rather like you all, hm? Shuten: Oh, don't sweat the details, dear! Humans, Heroic Spirits, you're all fine to me! I'm no misanthrope. Musashi: (Her demonic aura alone is greater than this woman's.) I can't see her clearly, but this one's a huge thread, too!) Raikou: Know your folly and kill yourself. Raikou: Would that include those children there as well? The depth of your depravity makes me sick. Raikou: I was wondering what drivel you were spouting, but to suggest there are none of worth living in the Tokugawa. this Tokugawa era really has gone to the pits, hasn't it? Shuten: And to see you still flapping your lips after cross swords with that cow. Shuten: Splendid, splendid! So you can even give a fairy tale hero the run-around! Musashi: (*heart pounding*) Sh-She can cut through steel!? Musashi: (All of them are on a different level than I am.) Ritsuka: (Even if I can summon Servants, these guys are.) They probably reacted somehow when I met Inshun-san.) Ritsuka: (My Command Spells suddenly activated. Much gratitude to Infigar for their excellent image editing work on the complete chapters.
