Hah! An idol and her bodyguard... practically asking for a scandal now, aren't you?
[ As if he, the most suspicious guy ever, would ever be accepted as a bodyguard. Not that he's ever met "Saitou" in more than just her memories, but he can imagine how well that conversation would go.
...Well, for now, he supposes he should focus on trying to reach that bridge at all before he considers crossing it.
The battle ends, the curtain closes... the faerie of paradise sacrifices her life at last, the spinster faerie fades away like mist, and the divine corpse is destroyed along with it's endless sea of curses.
It's time for the curtains to fall on this tragedy, yet inexplicably, everything starts to collapse. ]
"But we dealt with all the calamities! There shouldn't be anything left to threaten Britain! So why is the collapse beginning now!? There's no sign of a new enemy anywhere!"
"Sure there is. You just didn't notice it because you'd been looking at it the whole time. Remember that mural in Londinium? THere was a depiction of the Prophecy of Destruction Cernunnos' priestess made just as she was being dismembered. 'As the world grows newer, unbeknownst to all, its roots will grow older... until one day, they will be so brittle as to crumble with a bite from a single, insignificant insect.' That prophecy wasn't about Britain's future. What you're seeing now is what happens when the roots of even the strongest human history are gnawed through. Soon, the entire planet will be gone, as though it never existed."
"...I knew it."
"Huh? You mean you've been on to me, Fujimaru? Well, that sucks. Now I feel silly for biding my time waiting for the perfect moment to make my reappearance. But, really, so what? I never bothered to hide it from you in the first place. Of all my little pawns, you were by far the most insignificant."
"..."
"Oh? What's wrong, Blanca? Your pretty antennae stopped moving. Ah. You're dead. Were you taking all the mors' poison being directed at me from all of Britain, in my place? Thanks, I guess. Not that it really matters."
[ There he is, the true villain of this story, the doomsday device designed to destroy Britain, yet aiming for the destruction of the whole world. Well, it's not like he ever hid his villainous nature from Ai. His softer side, sure... but the Faerie King aside, he was always the very picture of a villain. ]
