Homura: (goes back to finish her cup of tea)

Sayaka: (lets it go and adjusts her position at the table) Did you guys drink a lot of sake back then?

'S not what I meant, but... yeah, it was big back in the Sengoku era. Something your average joe could rely on when Nobunaga and Ieyasu were tearing Japan apart with their wacky antics.

Sayaka: Must have been a lot of wacky antics with those two, huh?

Ohhhhh yeah. If I recall correctly, Nobunaga was a chick who crossdressed and called herself Demon King just because. At least, that was hearsay from those samurai who supposedly knew her and went to commission me for a sword.

Sayaka: Huh? I thought Uesugi was the one whom some people thought was a woman.

Trust me, there's a lot of cases where a Servant can be off-gender. In fact, I think every one of 'em's got a counterpart of the opposite sex! Helps that you can summon Servants from parallel worlds. Like Archer.

Homura: ... (says nothing, but pauses for a moment)

Sayaka: Huh. Guess that makes sense. Wouldn't surprise me if some of those legendary fighters turned out to be Magical Girls in our world. Anyway, "Demon King".

Yeah, that title spun the fuck outta control. I think Nobunaga was cracking a joke, but lookit any video game that features the guy. He makes Darth Vader look like Darth Sand!

So, yeah. I think that if Nobu was a chick, and she called herself Demon King, then people would focus on the "king" part.

Sayaka: (needs a few seconds to process it all) ...wait, does that mean she was actually a demon?

...Yeah, I'm bad at this. Uh - there's a skill Servants can have. Innocent Monster. It's what happens when you're subjected to rumors about something you were never actually in life. So your Servant form takes those traits.

Like Vlad III. He most definitely wasn't a Dead Apostle or some other vampire in life - probably - but I bet because of Bram Stoker, if you summon the hero of Wallachia you'll instead get Dracula.

Homura: The legend supersedes the hero.

Sayaka: Ohhhh...so...if I tried to summon Nobunaga as a Servant now, I'd get a guy.

I... don't... know about stuff like that. I mean, there's me. And King Arthur. He was a chick, y'know?

Sayaka: OH! You meant the royalty part of "king"! Or "nobility" or something like that.

Homura: Arturia...

Homura: (looks over at Muramasa) ...In a way. I have shared memories with a Servant who once fought in a Holy Grail War with her. And as well...it seems in our world "King" Arthur was a Magical Girl.

Sayaka: Oh yeah! She was here like a long time ago. (pause) Wonder how she's doing.

Hey, my host body was in that Grail War too! Probably. She had the hots for her, and I can sorta see why.

Sayaka: Really? Huh, wow - funny how it's all connected here.

Homura: ...Did she ever find out about it?

Uh...

...Yeah. Friendzoned at that. But hey, they won the Grail. And blew it up.

Sayaka: (sees the sudden glazing over) Whoa. (gets answer) ...Aw. That...had to hurt. (pause) At least the Grail got destroyed.

Homura: (looks back at Sayaka for a moment) And that was the end of that.

...Y'know, I wanna get summoned into that Grail War. Not as her, as me. Just so I can take advantage of the fact I know the future and shit.

Ohhhhh yes.

Hell, I might be doing that in some parallel world right now. Or yesterday. Or tomorrow, or three years in the future or past. Imaginary time's fun, 'specially when you want to impress people at parties.

Sayaka: (worried look, turns to Muramasa) <She, uh...hasn't had much to be happy about in our set of parallel timelines.>
