Undying Fidelity
Hijikata-san... why...
What, isn't it simple... That guy, Hijikata Toshizou, is also a Heroic Spirit summoned by the demon pillar.
...isn't that right?
---Now that I've heard it, that seems to be the case.
The day when I was shot in Hakodate... when I opened my eyes I was already here. Was I also absorbed by the demon pillar?
No, that's not it. That demon pillar summoned to this space "those who bore the same wish".
You are one of the foundation stones making up this space, and at the same time a rogue Servant that does not need the demon pillar's power.
Had you been absorbed, this place would look more akin to a hellish battlefield.
Anyway! The "Undying" that you wish for is something incompatible with that demon pillar.
That's right, Hijikata Toshizou. This is the culmination of the evils of not giving up. In the first place, you would have to be soft in the head to get your Saint Graph manipulated by others.
Sigh, you could say it is an honor to be endorsed by the Conqueror of the Warring States.
Why, now that I look closely, you are really a beauty.
Now is not the time for jokes!
No, if we persuade Hijikata-san properly, then...! If he returns to sanity, then it'll be solved, right!?
That is impossible. To release him from his madness is something impossible even for the demon pillar.
Hey, Hijikata... you didn't even notice that you were already dead and had become a Heroic Spirit, did you?
Wandering that dubious battlefield, did you turn to wish upon that Holy Grail of a demon pillar?
"I cannot die here, I cannot be killed here".
That's right. This Holy Grail grants the wish of men. This space's fundamental design is something by that swordsman.
That's... then Hijikata-san was always, always been living on as a member of the Shinsengumi...
So that's it... it has never been clear in my head, but I have finally managed to take it in.
---In other words...
"If I do not die here, you cannot leave".
Is that right, Demon King of the Sixth Heaven?
...Correct.
Then, what will you do, Okita? If it's too hard for you I can do it instead...
Nobu, just shut up for a bit!
Hijikata-san! Why!? You weren't even aware that you were dead?
That's just strange! Because... because the Shinsengumi have already---
Silence! Okitaaa!
See here, the Shinsengumi have not ended...
Kondou-san... Nagakura... Saitou, all of them were gone at the end.
---But rest assured.
I... as long as I am here, the Shinsengumi have not ended.
This is...!
I am...!
----THE SHINSENGUMI!!
That...
That's just...!
Choice: No, this is Okita-san's Shinsengumi...!
M-Master!?
That's... what are you...
Heh... you said something good there, newbie.
No, Gudako!
In front of this Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, "Hijikata Toshizou"...!
That is where you are! And you dare claim the Shinsengumi!?
Master...!
I see... right now, I am my Master's sword!
Hijikata-san!
---I, my "Fidelity", it is right here!
Why, Okita, are you prattling mindlessly because of your illness...?
But if you are going to use that word, "Fidelity", there will be no mercy for you.
Your flag and my Shinsengumi, let us see which of this is the real Shinsengumi!
---Let's go!
SHINSENGUMI, ADVANCE!
.....Hah, hah, hah.
---your sword is as fearsome as always.
Your skill with the blade has been evident from the time you were just a brat.
Hijikata-san...! I... I...!
I see... so you have raised your flag there.
...But, no matter what...
---I, my Shinsengumi will never... end...!
See you, Okita...
Never let anything topple the "Fidelity" that you have raised up!
Really, till the end he was dancing to his own tune. Well, that's the conviction of a Berserker for you.
Hijikata-san...
Eh!?
Wait a minute, Hijikata-san was a Berserker?
Choice 1: Eh? You didn't notice? Choice 2: Well, it was obvious
No, no, shouldn't he be a Saber or an Archer? For the Vice-Commander to be a Berserker, what would happen!? The Shinsengumi!?
Hey, Chacha is out of the loop. Isn't that strange, isn't that strange?
No matter how you think about it, shouldn't Chacha be the heroine this time? REALLY?
Senpai, now that Hijikata-san is gone, that space has begun to collapse! Please hurry and return to Chaldea!
That's right! Everyone, follow me! If we don't successfully escape we'll become a barbeque at the temple!
Chacha wants to see Aunty's strange Atsumori!
It's gross but Chacha likes it!
Hijikata-san...
I will... fight for a bit longer.
As long as my "Fidelity" is here...!
Choice: Let's go...!
Yes, Master!
...Now then. Is everything lost?
I cannot hear the sounds of the battlefield. I cannot see the way back to Hakodate.
Ah, damn it. That fool Okita did say that I had died.
..........I see. I died.
I removed my haori, picked up a gun, and just by myself, continued to fight.
But in the end I was chased all the way to the ends of the north... and ended up in this state, huh.
How pathetic. It's so pathetic that I could come back to life full of rage in my guts.
Rage at this worthless body of mine that collapsed before my "Fidelity" could---
Though I've been really beaten up badly by that fool Okita.
...Ah, well.
On that day, the person who was idly staring up at the sky while on the veranda, who was quite the chatterbox.
The fool that I met at Kondou-san's dojo. The one who none of us could defeat, and burst into laughter, that Okita Souji.
I've seen so many amusing things. Perhaps it would be fine to just sink here quietly--- hm?
Demon Pillar Andras: ---are you still here? These coordinates can no longer be preserved. You should leave before you encounter disaster.
The demon pillar... huh. I understand if you are looking for a fellow traveller, but why take an interest in me now?
Had my obsession been closer to yours, this world would have been more robust.
Demon Pillar Andras: That is right. That is too regrettable. But thanks to that, I have arrived at the answer.
Demon Pillar Andras: "To die with regrets".
Demon Pillar Andras: That is the final salvation that "I" have obtained, that has been given to me.
Demon Pillar Andras: But, you are different.
Demon Pillar Andras: I disappear at the end of my drifting. You disappear at the end of your struggle.
Demon Pillar Andras: That is the fate engraved on your Saint Graph. Therefore, it is yet too early for you to fall.
Demon Pillar Andras: My beacon. My enlightenment. The mad warrior that I found at the end of my drifting.
Demon Pillar Andras: Keep on fighting. For the sake of your fidelity, knowing that you will never be saved.
Demon Pillar Andras: This is the punishment given to you, who briefly saved the evil that I am. The final wish of the life that I was.
---Hmph.
That goes without saying. I am a fool that will fight until I win, no matter how much of a beating I take.
Ah, that's right. The Shinsengumi may not have won in history. I may have been a Mibu Wolf till the end.
But my... the Shinsengumi's "Fidelity" will not fall. No matter which battlefield, which hell it is.
---Very well. Those of the dead, behold this mad warrior.
If there is a voice that would call for me, raise a roar and let's brawl it out!
------It's been tough on you, senpai.
Choice: Yeah, it was even more Gudaguda than before.
Anyway, before the next mission, please take a rest in your room. I'll brew you a cup of tea there.
Choice: That'd be great. Let's eat the snacks from Kyoto.
W-w-what is this----!?
Ah, isn't it Gudako!
Chacha doesn't like a plain and boring room, so she tried reproducing the golden tea room from the other day. Not bad, isn't it?
No, it's not good after all... simple elegance is more of... how do I put it...
No, no, that's not it.... in the first place, why is everyone lounging around in Master's room?
Well, Okita-san used a bit too much of her NP in that fight...
I won't be able to move for a while so please let me rest in Master's room.
Ah, I would like my tea to be more diluted. And some sweet snacks, please.
Chacha too, Chacha too! Ehh, cup, cup....
Ah, by the way, while leaving that place I got this from the demon pillar, so will it do?
Choice 1: Eh? Is that a Holy Grail? Choice 2: Well done....!
What? If you like it I can give it to you, you know?
Chacha isn't really fond of this cup anyway.
And! Gudako! Chacha isn't bored after coming to this Chaldea!
You can look forward to Chacha's dazzlingly luxurious yakuniku set meals every day from now on!
Are you looking forward to it? Ne, are you?
-----And, Mashu! Chacha gets bored quickly so let's do something fun!
VR? Is there something like VR around?
Mou! Please say something already, senpai!
Choice: That is... well...
It can't be helped, can it!
