女王の躾

Medb

Mmm!

It’s nice and open here, I like it!

Medb

Well, I did say, “bring me someplace where we can be alone with one another…♡”

Fufu…

Medb

But I didn’t expect you to go along with it when I was being so obvious.

Maybe I was wrong about you.

Medb

Thank you, for letting me have my way. But…

Medb

I’ll have to take points off for bringing a third wheel.

Who’s the shorty? Is she your bodyguard?

Medb

Come to think of it, she’s always by your side.

Not that I care, I don’t even remember her name.

Mashu

Right… sorry, I am Mashu Kyrielight.

Senpai’s reliable Demi-Servant.

Dr Roman

Ahem.

Not that it matters, but I’m here too, obviously.

Dr Roman

As your overseer, I won’t let the passions of youth get the best of you!

Not a chance!

Medb

Is that so? Well, it doesn’t matter.

Neither of you interest me anyway.

Medb

The important one here is you, listening to my wish and giving me what I want.

Medb

And to think that you’d pick this place yourself.

I’d thought you just had no sense of danger, but maybe you just think you’re untouchable?

Medb

I mean, even I’d lose interest if things were always this easy.

I worry about why you trust me so much.

Medb

Yes… we have time, so let me ask this before we start.

Medb

What do you think about me?

An unheroic Reverse Hero? Just a queen who’s hard to deal with?

Friend and/or girlfriend material? Umm… you lie to yourself, but you’re really a good person deep down?

[1] Medb

I see. That wasn’t too bad, being so assertive.

But you have no chance. You’re not a warrior, after all.

[1] Medb

I need men who can fight.

What do I even do with a plain normal human?

[2] Medb

Oh? The name of Queen Medb doesn’t mean much to you, huh?

Sorry, but I won’t ever fall for you.

Medb

I am summoned only to dominate and seize from others.

The only things I need are excellent soldiers, and neighbouring lands worth my while.

Medb

Answering the summons of Chaldea is something like an appraisal.

Medb

Just you watch. Behind the black, I can prepare and launch as many invasions as I want.

Medb

Dr Roman, was it?

You might want to find a less accessible place to store your Holy Grails.

Medb

You seem pretty weak to seduction, anyway.

Summon three more unfaithful ones like me, and you’d be snapped up straight away, you know?

Dr Roman

Hahaha, no worries there!

The lock on the vault is courtesy of Da Vinci-chan.

Dr Roman

I don’t even know how to open it!

She just refuses to tell me no matter what I say, damn it!

Dr Roman

So seduction won’t work on me.

Or rather, it would be meaningless.

Dr Roman

Yep, the strongest form of security is not even knowing…

That way, we won’t have to worry about honeytrapping at all!

Fou…

Nice one, Da Vinci-chan… She’s a pro when it comes to handling the Doctor…

Medb

Da Vinci… what an eyesore.

We don’t need two women with Golden Rule (Body).

Medb

I’ll put a knife in her back soon enough…

A Caster is no match for me, anyway.

Medb

But there’s something weird about her…

Like she can class change to an Assassin when we get down to it…

Mashu

Um, Miss Medb?

May I ask you a question as well?

Medb

Hm? What is it?

If it’s a good question, I’ll answer. But keep it short.

Mashu

I-I’ll try my best.

Um, as you’ve just said, you are a Rider… is that correct?

Medb

That’s right. I’m a Rider.

I rode every day and every night. What about it?

Mashu

Yes, but… you normally fight with a… wand…?

So I just thought, maybe, you were a Caster as well…

Mashu

I can see that your Noble Phantasm calls forth a chariot.

But I don’t really know what happens after that…

Mashu

And the opponent doesn’t get blown back either, so I was wondering what kind of attack it is.

That’s my question.

Medb

Wait, really? You want to see it? Do you really?

Dr Roman

Stup- you’re asking this now, Mashu?!

What if Lancelot comes and yells at me?

Fou-fou, fou!

Let’s stop there, Mashu. Actually, I was wondering too…

[1] Mashu

But Senpai, grasping the fighting style of the Servants by your side directly increases our chances of survival.

[1] Mashu

We have to make things clear, for your sake as well!

[2] Dr Roman

Noooooooo!

It’s too early for you two to learn about the legends of Celtic heroes!

Medb

Do I even have to explain what happens inside the chariot?

Medb

I am Queen Medb. The mother of warriors.

My class is Rider, not because I ride a chariot.

Medb

It’s men. I ride men.

So I am a Rider. Isn’t it obvious?

Mashu

…Um.

So, you mean, so, um…!

Medb

It feels absolutely amazing, you know, riding that.

Being in control is the best feeling in the world!

Medb

I don’t mind being ridden either, but I like holding the reins, you know?

Medb

And strong, tough, hard men just get me so hot, I want to slap a collar on them!

Medb

After all, the stronger they are, the more muddled I become.

I can feel it in my arms, my legs, my body.

Medb

Like something boiling up from my very cells, seeping out everywhere.

Until even the inside of my head is in a dizzying haze…

Medb

And then, it’s like I’m reborn!

A nectar you can never stop having once you’ve tasted it!

Medb

Really, the pleasures that men have are tiny in comparison.

It’s almost pathetic.

Medb

A strong man is there only to kill the enemy.

Do you know that’s nothing compared to the joy of giving birth?

Medb

That’s why I like strong men.

I love a battlefield where I can meet those warriors!

Medb

No matter who I try to be, that’s the one truth that cannot be changed.

I am she who rides the chariot. rides men, and rides the field of battle.

Medb

That’s the existence of Queen Medb, the invader.

Was that answer good enough for you?

Mashu

Y-Yes…

I don’t really understand, but I’ve recorded what you said.

Mashu

But, um… give birth, you said?

Did you have children, Miss Medb?

Medb

Yes, more than I can count.

It’s what a country is built on, and absolutely necessary in defending it.

Do you… like children..?

Medb

No?

Not really,

Medb

It’s so annoying to raise them.

I just leave that to someone else, anyway.

Medb

What I mean is, it’s important for a woman to ride lots of men and make lots of babies!

Because it feels good, and it’s necessary!

Medb

Oh, um, right.

Sorry, I think I missed an explanation.

Medb

The way I ‘birth’ soldiers is not the same as normal birth.

You didn’t know that, did you?

Mashu

No, we didn’t.

Please explain in detail.

Medb

As you can clearly see, I’m the queen of Connacht.

The way I birth my soldiers is different from creating an heir.

Medb

I just need the fluids of a base warrior to replicate into soliders.

Medb

I bring my target into the chariot, and our bodies become one.

After that, I cut my index finger and let the blood flow onto the earth.

Medb

…Like mixing my blood into mead.

Medb

And so, my darling soldiers are created, like instant homunculi.

Medb

Just like that, soldiers that never betray me and belong only to me.

Medb

Well, it’s a drawback that they’re not as strong as the original warrior.

So it’s my style to overcome that with numbers.

Medb

You got that? That’s the way I fight.

So, well…

Medb

It’s not the same as making an heir.

For that, well, you know…

Medb

How can I be blessed with something like that, if it isn’t with someone I love with all my heart?

Dr Roman

(An unexpected declaration worthy of a virgin maiden…!)

Dr Roman

(Having that sense of morality on top of acting like such a nice girl…

She really is hard to deal with…!)

Medb

That’s enough! Anyway!

It’s time to get back on topic… what say we bare ourselves?!

Dr Roman

But I don’t remember that ever being the topic?!

Mashu

B-But why?

Don’t tell you want to… with Senpai…!

Medb

That’s right. I’ll be taking your Master….

Just the head, anyway, to decorate my chariot.

Mashu

…!

Medb

I am a woman who never forgets humiliation.

What was done to me, must be paid in return.

Medb

I know that you defeated my nation here, in this singularity.

Medb

I must do this, or I might as well not exist at all.

What is a queen who does not revenge herself?

Dr Roman

That’s ridiculous!

You’re a contracted Servant. You can’t harm your Master!

Dr Roman

Queen Medb might have done as she liked, but you’re not an exception!

If it comes down to it, a Command Spell can force you to withdraw!

Medb

Fufu, that’s impossible.

This time, at least, my selfishness comes first.

Fou?!

Medb

I told you, didn’t I?

I invited you, and you accepted it.

Medb

A geis has been established.

It won’t be undone until I’m satisfied.

Medb

Do you understand now, cheeky little sheep?

There’s no escape.

What an evil smile…! What an evil honeytrap…!

Medb

Hmph! I like your reaction! Not bad!

Fitting for the Master who defeated me once!

Medb

It is time to fight for me, my soldiers!

Show them the power of the Celts!

Dr Roman

Soldiers appeared from the ground in an instant…!

Get ready, she’s serious!

Medb

Of course. I’m always serious when it counts.

I’ll always create an opportunity to trample anyone underfoot, even my own Master!

Medb

Will your Servant lose strength first?

Or will I run out of soldiers first?

Medb

Let’s try this one more time!

Here I come!

Mashu

Ugh…!

Servant Medb, incoming!

Mashu

Let’s give her everything that we’ve got, Master!

[battle with Medb and her soldiers]

Mashu

We’ve neutralized Queen Medb!

She’s been rendered impotent!

Dr Roman

Well done!

And Mashu, just say ‘powerless’ next time, okay?

Medb

Grr…!

But this isn’t riiiiiiiiight!

Medb

I got everything ready!

I never let my guard down!

Medb

And you still beat me face-to-face! Me!

How can I lose…!

Dr Roman

I’m sure she’s taken a lot of damage…

But it looks like the sting of defeat is overwriting that…

Just look at those little feet stamp! Just look at that whip swing!

Mashu

In any case, this should dissolve Miss Medb’s geis.

Mashu

Since Senpai has completely rejected Miss Medb’s invitation.

Medb

Hey! What do you mean, ‘rejected’?

I wasn’t rejected! I just wasn’t strong enough!

Medb

If I really go all out, I can make any man or woman fall head over heels for me!

Medb

This is your fault!

You’re bad at using me!

Medb

If you’d made me stronger to begin with, I’d have flattened you completely!

Medb

It’s too laid-back, the way you do things at Chaldea!

If I were in charge of repairing the human order, it’d be done in an instant!

Medb

You wouldn’t even need to be on the front lines!

The war would go smoothly!

Medb

Oh, whatever! I’m going back now!

You’d better power me up before the next fight!

Medb

What? I’m not going to tell you how!

I’m not going to tell you to use a Grail! Or use a Grail!

Hahaha, no can do. But I did use one, Medb…

[1] Medb

Now you’re just completely pissing me off!

Idiot! I’ll remember this!

[2] Medb

Huh…? Really?

You’ve already used one on me…?

[2] Medb

But wait, you mean I was at full strength and still lost?

I’m not that useless a queen, right?

[2] Mashu

Yes… unfortunately, I’m also female, so Miss Medb’s power boost doesn’t work against me…

[2] Medb

Ugh…! That won’t happen next time.

Next time, your party better be full of male Servants!

Mashu

Queen Medb is retreating.

She’s probably going back to Chaldea…

Dr Roman

Yeah, I’m detecting Medb on this side.

She’s rushing straight for the cafeteria.

Dr Roman

Well, it looks like a binge is coming.

I do hope that she’d mind Chaldea’s supplies…

She’ll turn her frustration into a springboard for growth. She’ll turn those calories into more weight.

Dr Roman

I guess so.

I was concerned for a moment there, but it looks like it’s been a good lesson for Medb!

Dr Roman

Also, Medb revealed a hidden ability of hers during the fight.

She should be of even more use to you from now on.

Dr Roman

That just now was probably Medb’s way of compromising with you.

Not that she herself seems to realize it.

Mashu

Yes, in her own way, I think Miss Medb is showing that she trusts you, Master.

Mashu

After all, she didn’t fight us out of hate.

She was just annoyed, so…

…like how a friend would feel. I don’t know about that… maybe she’s just an airhead…

[1] Mashu

Yes!

I look forward to our next battle with Miss Medb!

[2] Fou, fou…
