Um, well...ah yes... What was I saying?
Ri...Riden...! Oh that's right, it's Riden!
I have manifested as a Riden-class―
Yes, what is it, Tálos?
Hm? I'm wrong? It's not Riden, but Rider!?
...Oh my.
Ahem. Let me start again. I am Europa, and I have manifested as a Rider.
I am one of the consorts of the great god Zeus.
Pleased to meet you, Master of Chaldea.
I am Europa. Nice to meet you.
I am... umm... what was it...
Rai... Raiden...! That's right, Raiden!
I have been summoned in the Raiden cla—
Yes. What is it, Talos?
Mm... It's wrong? Not Raiden but Rider?
...... Oh dear.
Ehmm. Once again. I am Europa, summoned in the Rider class.
I am one of the Chief-God Zeus's consorts.
It's nice to meet you, Master of Chaldea.
The way I'm riding on His Majesty's back, striding across the land...
It's just like when we went charging through what is now called Europe.
Hehehe...so this is how we end up looking!
Oh my? This form was when I was riding across the land on his back. Speaking of that, it was during the time when I streaked across the states of Europe. Ufufu... So that's how it's turn out to.
It is quite impressive that you raised my Spirit Origin this far.
I must show you my gratitude.
Let's see...I am already going to give you some candy...
Hehe... Maybe I should just ask you directly.
What kind of things make children happy these days?
This is the limit. My Spirit Origin has been fully raised. I must thank you. Indeed... I'll give you some sweets and... Ufufu... You prefer being asked directly? I wonder what makes children these days happy?
Are you talking about me?
You're saying that I'm more mild-mannered and laid-back than most other Heroic Spirits?
Oh I see...
No...that may be very well true.
I am neither king, nor soldier, nor warrior.
I am not really a Heroic Spirit who focuses on combat.
Ufufu... What is it? About myself? I'm more easygoing and relaxed than other heroic spirits? Ah, that... that's not it. Actually, perhaps you could say that. I am not a king, nor am I a martyr or warrior. I guess I'm not a fighting heroic spirit.
Oh I'm sorry. I was asleep.
It's such a pleasant day.
Fufu, why don't you come over here too?
Would you care for some candy?
Oh, or maybe you would like me to brush your hair?
Zzz... Ah! My apologies, I'd fallen asleep. It's somehow quite comfortable today. Ufufu... Do you want to come here, too? I'll give you some sweets. Oh, or shall I comb your hair?
I'm sure you've already noticed...but I cannot fight on my own.
If it wasn't for Tálos or Taurus, I probably would only be useful as a shield for you.
Hm? Of course I can be a shield.
Heh. It's fine; Servants are more durable than ordinary humans.
You've noticed, haven't you? I don't fight by myself. Without Talos and Taurus, I... can only do so much as your shield. Oh? Yes, I can be a shield, of course. Ufufu... You know, Servants are more sentimental than depressed humans after all.
I am the woman who received the love of Zeus, the king of gods.
Even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, he is still protecting me.
And...do you know what that ultimately means?
Hehe. I do.
He's telling me to protect...to act as guardian.
To you, that is.
The woman whom the Chief-God Zeus had given his love to is me. In this way, he is able to bestow his blessings even to the world of heroic spirits. Hey, do you know what this is all about? Do you understand? Ufufu... I understand. "Protect them... Protect them with everything..." is what he's pressing on. About you.
The great Zeus is very well aware of that.
He may have become a Divine Spirit, and it may not be the Age of Gods anymore, but he is still concerned for you all.
That's right, you. And of course of Mash, too.
Why, you ask?
Hehe... Because...
You are like a very distant descendant of ours.
That's why I want to give you candies, I want to pat your head, and I want to brush your hair.
Now come! Put your head on Grandma Europa's lap!
The Panhuman History is in great danger now. He, Lord Zeus, also knows about it. Even though he's now become a Divine Spirit and the Age of Gods has long since ended, he is still thinking about all of you. That's right, you. Of course, Mashu as well. Why is that? Ufufu... That's because to us, all of you are like our distant great grandchildren. That's why I want to give you sweets, why I want pat your head, why I want to comb your hair. Come, don't be shy? Granny Europa will lend her lap as your pillow.
Asterios!
You are the child of Minos, right?
Then you should call me grandmother.
We're not related by blood, you say?
No, that doesn't matter. Now come, come...
Ah good, good. Good child!
Let me hug you really tight!
Oh, my dear! Asterios! You're Minos's child, aren't you? If that's so, then you can call me "Granny". Our bloodline is... not the same? No, that does not matter. Come on, come closer... closer. Yes, that's right~, that's right~! You're a good child! I'll make you go "gyuu~"!
Oh my, oh my! I cannot believe it!
They are all such lovely and adorable Heroic Spirits!
Ooh, I can't help but to squeeze them so tightly!
...Oh dear. Giving them candy isn't enough!
I'm going to borrow your kitchen for a bit! I'm going to make them many delicious things!
How cute~~!! Oh my, oh my, oh my! What's this? How can a heroic spirit be this lovely...! Ah, I can't... *faints*. Ah, aah, sweets aren't enough at all. I'll borrow the kitchen! I'll make you lots of delicious stuff, okay?
Well, I do like to sunbathe.
I also like naps.
And I also like taking walks.
Well, there are just too many things I like... We would be here till sunset if I tried to name them all.
Something I like? Yes, I like basking in the sun. And afternoon naps. And walks, too. That's right, I have many things that I like. Talking about them might make me lose myself.
Let's see...
If I used it on Tálos, maybe he'd get even stronger!
No, I'm kidding. Tálos is already strong enough.
I guess I have no use for Holy Grails.
The Holy Grail? Well... I wonder if Talos would become even stronger if I use it on him... No, I'm just kidding! Talos is strong enough already. I don't think the Holy Grail is necessary for me.
On behalf of Zeus and the world, I shall bless you.
The gods and the world are sure to reward you for continuing on your path.
I'm so sorry to make you suffer and go through so many painful things.
But that aside, I'm going to pamper you so much today!
Happy birthday. Instead of Lord Zeus and the world, I give you my blessing. The gods and the world will surely respond to you who continues advancing. I'm sorry for only bringing you painful feelings. Incidentally, today I will pamper you in plenty.
