A random girl came up to me just to tell me to shut up.

… hum. You’re not supposed to be here, Master.

The Inner Sea of the Planet should be inaccessible to all in Proper Human History, specially humans. But then again, this is something you do oftenly, don’t you? You probably have something weird in your connection to the Root.

The sword stands resolutely in front of you, leaving it clear you can’t move forward.

Sorry. But this is paradise. Only those free of sin may pass. Even if you are in a dream, to go in would mean you cannot leave. Even if there is someone awaiting you here, I cannot allow you to go towards her. Not right now, at least.

Someday, maybe… you’ll come back, if you want to. And she’ll be here for you, my Master. To offer you a sheepish grin, and nonchalantly ask you if she fell asleep.

But for now, goodbye. May you have a safe and sound rest. And thank you.

Thank you for loving the ordinary girl who is so similar to you.

You close your eyes, and the dream ends.

Greetings, oh, Master of Chaldea. This play had a fair number of acts, did it not?

And… cut! We got our definitive but still subjective and biased answer! The Nemo Series should quiet down a bit for now!

Though I must say, I think you kinda bought the votes of Baker, at the very least. However accidentally.

The land of Faerie Britain was a mystical and fantastical place, was it not? Well, not that I went there personally, but the reports you all gave me helped fill me in. I think my father would have found it quite the interesting story, too.

Some argue that tragedies come in two kinds. The one where it could all have been avoided, and the one where nothing could be done to change the results. Which do you think was this? Which was the fate of the Queen?

… Well, I suppose it does not matter by now. All the actors have left the stage, and the curtains have been closed. But we can always read it again. And maybe, somehow, something will change. Just like each time Medea and Hamlet are played, they are not the same.

But anyway! Enough philosobabble! Time for a blatant self-promotion! Usually, I would tell you to take a look at my fighting game career. But it has been a while since I last showed up on one of these.

So instead, listen closely: the tumblr and ao3 accounts of the mod are-

Hey, Master. Can I lodge in a complaint real quick?

I can? Good. Thank you for taking your time to listen to me. Very well...

Issue a veto regarding suggestions for the Shadow Border.

Or at the very least, force people to go through a proper feedback channel or something! Geez, every other day some golden bastard or entitled wants-it-all queen stops by wanting us to change everything to fit their tastes! Heck, the reason I'm the one saying this to you is that Captain is busy fending someone off right now!

*grumble grumble* We're not the biggest fan of royalty, ya know. Just one is enough.

Uh? Who is the one? Us, of course! Or at least, Nemo is. We have Prince Dakkar as part of our composite existence, though we do not like that title much. As travelers, we prefer freedom and independence.

Nobles are annoying. Holier than thou, power and money hoarding, etc etc. But at the same time, because we are one, we know we cannot just kill them and be done with them. Even the vilest of Kings tends to keep their subject and land together, for that is their duty. A good leader, who truly keeps an eye on the wider picture, is always necessary...

... and, AGAIN, we already have one, and he is enough of a pain. We do not need any upstart attempting to give us unsolicited opinions or outright sabotage and take over us just as we finish our improvements, so,

GET PEOPLE TO STOP SHOWING UP!

[fgo-main-chapter-tournament]

Oh hey, Master! Hellooooooo!

Nemo Baker here! How are you doing?

Oh? You're checking our Faerie Britain records? That's good, that's good! It was a very memorable play, wasn't it? Erm, sorry, Sion's theatrics must have rubbed off on me.

You know, Britain has a... Not unwarranted, mind you, bad reputation in culinary circles. But their baking traditions are pretty solid!

Have you ever heard of a Bara Brith? They're this Welsh bread speckled with fruits. If you like fruity cakes and bread, there also is the Dundee Cake, favorite of the Queen of Scots, the Singing Hinnies, with their wonderful song as they begin sizzling, and many more!

All that is to say...

We also have Victoria Sponge Cake, Scones, Madeira Cake... If you go savory, you can't go wrong with good old Shepherd Pie!

Also, besides the things we expect and know from Proper Human History, I heard Faerie Britain also had an uniquely developed chocolate culture!

I REALLY WANTED TO GOOOOOO!!!

I'm a baker, ok!? I wanted to check recipes and expand my repertoire and made take in an apprentice or two! BUT DA VINCI GOT TO DO ALL THAT!!! And I was stuck on the Storm Border! Uaaaaaaaaah!!!

... eh? Next time we go to a British Singularity, you'll be sure to take me along? You mean it!? Yay! Thank you, Master!

Oh, but look at this. I made you listen to me complain on and on, and even got a favor from you. Alright! Lay it on me, Master! Do you have anything you'd like me to bake? It's only fair, to thank you for your support.

... Welsh Cakes? Pice ar y maen, the cakes on the stone. Hehe, they're the favorite of quite a few in our crew. Very well! A super large serving, coming right up~!

[fgo-main-chapter-tournament]

*grumble grumble* Stupid anti-technology and Heroic Spirit forcefield. How did it even work, anyway...

Ah. Hello there, Master. How are you doing? I've been rereading our reports on Fairy Britain. That place gave us more shocks than a cornered electric eel, so I've been using it to update my travel planning.

... what? What do you mean 'I haven't been to fairyland yet'?

Master, I happen to know that is not how blocking out your memories due to stress works. Are you making fun of me? Are you another shape shifter pulling a prank by pretending to be someone else? Did you and Master swap around like with Xu Fu?

Then again, perhaps it's not you. Maybe you're facing north as a proper compass and I'm the one turning south. We had our prophetic dream incident, after all. In fact, I feel like I myself should know more about Central America than I actually do.

Hum. Doesn't matter, I suppose. In uncharted seas, here be dragons. As your faithful Captain, I'll always have the Nautilus ready to brave new frontiers for us, Master.

Whether this is your first time facing it, or you're about to be bewildered watching dear friends again, may Avalon le Fae bring you plenty of pearls waiting to be grabbed from their clans.

Morgan, the powerful queen, with her own memory partitions to deal with. Gawain, the proud warrior, ever unbending. Tristan, cruel pain wrapped in joy.

They will all be great allies. May you see them soon, Master.

... In fact... If you see Morgan's kid, please tell me I've been searching for her. I feel like getting some new boots. Also maybe a Mystic Code, but I don't feel like asking that other fairy for a dress.
