Interesting chain of events. [And also, yikes.] I suppose that's how this competition goes for the participants as well. You learn to work together toward a common goal. I wish it were as simple for us as gods, but we still have a lot of work to do.

If she did not have an opinion on humanity and protecting it, do you?

[heartmunculus]

Mm... Maybe you'll have more time after this is over.

Her answer wasn't very satisfying for somebody who wanted to be king. ... I want to protect humanity. They deserve the chance to grow and become better. They might not take it, and they might be cruel to each other... but they still deserve to live.

[divus]

Well, we'll be together for eternity after this. I suppose that's long enough.

...and that opinion is how you style your playing of this game, isn't it? Believing everyone here deserves to live as well. I can't say that's the worst way to approach it. Humanity can be beautiful if given the chance.

[heartmunculus]

I didn't come here to kill anyone. Everyone has a wish and a reason that they're here.

Wishes... can be dangerous. But they can be good too.

[divus]

Some people will do more than others for their wish, Sieg-kun. That's why this is dangerous. Do you know many other wishes?

[heartmunculus]

Here? Not very many. I know Cinque wants her Mother to be happy and safe.

I know Amakusa wanted humanities salvation. Chiron wanted his divinity. Atalante wanted every child to be loved.

[Technically as the person presiding over the mini holy grail war in the grail, he knows every wish inside of it.]

... If you thought this was dangerous, why did you agree to it?

[divus]

Because not playing at all would mean losing the chance to do anything at all. I'd rather try than forfeit immediately.

[heartmunculus]

Are you still trying to win?

[divus]

Of course I am. I refuse to give up now. I still have a chance, don't you think?

[heartmunculus]

Everyone who's still here has a chance.

Who's wishes are going to be granted? The people with the winning gods?

[divus]

The people with the winning gods, yes, unless we can find a way to change that. For now, however, that's the set of rules we've created.

[heartmunculus]

... Is there a way to change that?

[divus]

...if the winning god decides so, perhaps that can be changed.

[heartmunculus]

I'll have to hope whoever it is will be generous.

[divus]

Perhaps if you speak to more of us and begin planting the idea, they'll listen. There's only so much any of us can do at a time, Sieg-kun.

[heartmunculus]

... Yes. That's a good idea.

[divus]

I'm glad you think so. Thank you for considering it.
