- Assassin briefly hesitated about her course of action, then apparently decided that she did not have the time to fight a double and made to leave out a broken window—toward where Kuruoka Tsubaki was.
- But a massive form covered the broken window, standing in her way.
- It was neither a smoke-like demonic beast nor a Kerberos; it was an even more pure symbol of death: a complete skeleton scorched and carbonized by jet-black flames.
- One other notable feature was its height, which rivaled the building’s.
- “Whoa! A giant’s ghost?!”
- Flat was startled like an elementary schooler. Jester, meanwhile, slowly rose from his knees.
- “Whoa! A vampire’s ghost?!”
- Flat was even more startled.
- “The spell should still be effective,” Jack chimed in, still in wristwatch form.
- Jester might be a double, but that did not necessarily mean that he could not attack them.
- The people around the room tensed while Jester remained downcast and silent. Then . . .
- “. . . Hee hee.”
- A soft chuckle escaped him.
- “I see. . . . So, I’ve been scrapped as a Dead Apostle.”
- Jester’s face was still ghostly pale as he broke into a grin with more than a hint of madness in it.
- “Then we’re a perfect match now, my dear Assassin.”
- “What do you mean?”
- Assassin furrowed her brows, sensing something ominous.
- “You were abandoned by your chiefs despite holding the strongest faith of anyone, and I was abandoned by the mainstream of the pro-humanity faction because I turned toward a stronger love than anyone. Yes, I see! So, this is the view you saw! Now I understand it in my soul! We truly were destined to be drawn to each other!”
- “Stop. You sound like a stalker who lost his job after the he got the cops called on him.”
- Hansa looked disgusted, but he did not have time to listen.
- He turned his attention to the giant skeleton and considered whether he ought to destroy it or make his escape.
- Then, a loud shock shook the building.
- “?!”
- It was obvious what had happened.
- The giant skeleton had raised its arms and begun to punch the building.
- “Oh! This is beyond my wildest expectations! That’s a world built on dreams and death for you; it’s as if there’s no end to its nightmares!”
- Jester became even more excited as he continued to smile through the pain wracking his body.
- Fate/Strange Fake: Volume 6, Chapter 20 ("Dream Becomes Reality")
