[At least this person seems to know what he's doing: he doesn't look at all surprised when the device clicks on and starts recording, merely annoyed and more than a bit worried.]

This is a ridiculous situation. It isn't possible for someone to wake up on another continent for no reason. For one thing, who would bother to kidnap a monk? Not even a monk, but a monk in training?

On the chance that this isn't an extraordinarily vivid dream, I'd like to ask for some explanation of what on earth is going on here. I would appreciate it. The only other apparent option would be to beat my head against the wall until the concussion knocks me out and I wake up at home again, but that doesn't appeal as much.

Lancer it is.

[Luckily, because calling Lancer a last name that he just made up... Anyway, Issei gives the camera a disbelieving look.]

Every night. This happens every single night, and becomes normal.

Anyone else that came to this city in the same way can easily confirm my words as fact.

Or I could just see for myself tonight. I suppose I won't be in doubt for very long.

I wouldn't advise doing that alone, unless you have some experience in combat.

I have training, but I've never fought anything actually seeking to hurt me.

Then it would likely be better to fight alongside someone for a while.

...Well, there are a few obvious choices.

There are many of us skilled in the use of weaponry, myself included. And in time, assuming the current trend remains fact, you'll likely end up finding a power of your own.

A power, me? I'm only a high school student, whatever you may be.

...Are you busy tonight?

I'm no different from any other twenty-five-year-old on this island.

[Which...was only half a lie, given the state of things.]

I can certainly say I had nothing planned, at least.

I know that, but... Ah, will it sound strange if I feel that I can instinctively trust you?

Then, if it would not be too much to ask, I would like to perhaps accompany you. I... don't want to impose on Emiya so quickly, actually. [He knows he would get himself killed trying to protect him.]

No, I don't find that strange. It's a bit flattering, really.

That's fine. If you're an ally of his, then I won't allow any harm to come to you. [Because Saber would never let him live it down.]

Good.

While I'm not in a position to do much, I'll try and help as much as I can.

I would appreciate the help.

It's good to be appreciated.

Of course. Where should I meet you, then?

I might as well stay at this bookstore, as it will give me something to do until then and I don't feel comfortable staying in a strange hotel yet...

[Issei turns the camera to show the outside of the bookstore Diarmuid works at.]

. . .

One second.

[SUP ISSEI?]

[He'll just be sticking his head out the door and adjusting his glasses again.]

Had I known you were right there, I wouldn't have stayed in here so long.

[Hi, Lancer. Watch Issei jump just a little.]

That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Remarkably so. I happen to work here, actually.

Then, considering my sudden lack of access to my temple's library, I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

I suppose I'll look forward to that, then.

Likewise.

[Issei bows low.] Forgive my sudden imposition upon you. I felt it best to not be with Emiya at the present time if this is all true.

Not at all. [He gave a slight respectful bow as well, smiling.] It'll hardly be any trouble, I'm sure.
