Original subtitles

Set.

For the elements, silver and iron.

For the foundation, stone and the Archduke of Pacts.

Raise a wall for the wind that shall fall.

Close the gates of the four directions.

Come forth from the Crown...

and follow the forked road leading to the Kingdom.

Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill!

Repeat five times.

But when each is filled, destroy it.

Heed my words.

My will creates your body...

and your sword creates my destiny.

If you heed the Grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me!

Is it really something that we have to strain ourselves for?

This Holy Grail War, as it is called...

Are you really asking such a foolish question...

Faldeus?

Well, um...

I'm sorry, Professor Langal.

Just how much of the Holy Grail War do you understand?

I'd read all of the documents that I was handed over in advance.

Then you should already know.

If there's a possibility that something with the name "Holy Grail" will manifest...

we must be involved.

Because it is the ultimate wish for us Mages...

and a waypoint for our goals.

However, will it really be on this land?

The Holy Grail War was a system created on Japanese land...

by the three families, Einzbern, Makiri and Tohsaka, right?

It's currently nothing more than an omen.

Lord El-Melloi in the Clock Tower sensed an abnormality in the leylines.

We are here to investigate it.

Yes.

I personally wish for it to be nothing more than a rumor.

Huh?

Isn't that contrary to what you said earlier?

About how the Holy Grail was the ultimate wish and a waypoint for Mages?

Yeah, you're right.

Mages participating in the Holy Grail War all have the pride of their clan on the line...

and will bring forth catalysts to summon Heroic Spirits.

And they will promise victory to their inherited Magic Crests.

Then, if the Heroic Spirits...

What if the summoning of Servants is confirmed?

You can't summon Servants without the groundwork from a Holy Grail.

After all...

they are the actual heroes engraved within human history.

I did it!

Answer me.

Are you the insolent Mage seeking to cling to a king's brilliance?

That's right. I am your Master―

What is this?

Are you a clown?

If so, you will amuse me with a more entertaining scream.

Wh-What in the...

With all due respect...

I humbly request that I may be allowed to present myself before such a great king.

Granted.

I will grant you the honor of an audience.

I am truly grateful.

Who are you?

How did you get past the bounded field—

My compliments for not spilling the mongrel's blood before me.

However, the stench of unworthy meat has reached me.

Speak your excuse, if you have one.

I felt this person unworthy of the great king's judgment...

so I took the liberty of punishing the thief who stole the treasury key.

This key?

Rubbish.

I had it made, yes, but I disposed of it. There was no reason to use it.

If that is the king's will...

Please, leave now.

If you do, I will spare your life.

Eat them all, bælwielm!

You're kidding!

I beg your forgiveness for such an unsightly display.

You are making use of the land's leyline.

Have your ilk been ruling this land in my absence?

Nothing so insolent as that. We do not govern this land, we live alongside it.

As you may have guessed,

the people of my tribe are nothing but ordinary humans once we leave this land of Snowfield.

Mongrels will never be more than mongrels.

The presence or lack of Magecraft changes nothing.

So, I will ask again.

Are you the insolent Mage...

seeking to cling to a king's brilliance?

And that's why I really want to participate, professor!

I want to join this Holy Grail War that's supposed to be starting in the United States!

Shit.

You know...

if I had to describe you in one word, it would be "moron."

That can't be!

At least use two words to describe me!

Then, "idiotic moron."

Please, I beg of you, Professor El-Melloi—

No, the greatest instructor in all of the Clock Tower...

Great Big Ben London Star!

To hell with that ridiculous nickname!

Not only are you an idiotic moron, you're absolutely impudent!

How did you learn about it in the first place?

I won't say that it's highly classified,

but it's not something a fledgling like you should know—

No, wait.

You don't have to tell me.

You had that meeting with the officers in the underground lecture hall yesterday.

I wonder if they're in the middle of the investigation right now.

Isn't Mr. Langal that famous puppeteer―

I said you don't have to tell me!

That was a top secret briefing!

There were multiple bounded fields surrounding it!

I-I did feel bad about it...

but I was just so curious!

Ouch!

You really are impossible to deal with.

I'll pretend I didn't hear any of that.

Do not complicate my life any further.

It's all right!

I swear I won't get in your way, professor!

But you need an item to summon a hero, right?

How do I go about obtaining one?

If I had a portrait of Napoleon, would I be able to summon him?

If I were Napoleon...

I'd be shooting you to death before I'd make a contract with you.

The seven Heroic Spirits that are summoned will materialize into this world as Servants.

The summoning Mages will be their Masters, and the Servants will battle to the death...

in search of the Holy Grail.

That's the Holy Grail War.

The souls of Servants defeated in the deathmatches...

will be poured into the vessel that will become the Holy Grail,

and when that is filled, the wish granter becomes complete.

Right?

If the words of that Lord who actually experienced it are true.

Or there's a group of Mages that are pulling the strings,

and it's so large that they have this entire city of Snowfield under control.

It can't be!

I'm just talking about possibilities.

I hear that the three houses I mentioned did anything they could to get the Holy Grail...

in order to arrive at the Root.

The final objective of Mages, huh?

In the unlikely event that the Holy Grail were to materialize on this land...

It would truly be an exasperating mess.

The fact that a country...

that has yet to grow a long history is trying to shove the Clock Tower aside to acquire it.

Flat...

Why do you seek the Holy Grail?

I find it hard to believe you're the type of Mage who's actually seeking the Root of Magecraft.

It's because I want to see it!

What?

I mean, it sounds super-duper awesome! A Holy Grail!

If it really exists, wouldn't you want to see what it's like?

Do you understand what exactly goes on in a conflict between two Mages?

You may face a tragic situation worse than death

and then be murdered savagely without being able to accomplish anything.

But everyone seeks it even if they have to brace themselves for that, right?

That makes me want to see it all the more!

Then, do you have the conviction to take the life of your opponent just for that?

Isn't there a way to win without killing? Like, playing a game of chess?

Oh, that is a great idea!

If the Mage facing you is the world champion in chess, they might agree to those terms.

I guess it's a difficult problem, huh?

I really, really want to see all the other heroes, too!

And if I could, I'd like to become friends with them!

If...

If I could make seven heroes all my friends...

then, even world domination wouldn't be just a dream!

Professor?

Aw, man...

Aw, man...

The professor was so angry.

Oh, great timing!

This is a package for the professor of your class.

Can you hand it over to him?

Oh, okay!

Th-This is...

Huh?

Professor!

Th-This package... Me...

To me...

Oh, that...

You want it?

If you want it, you can have it.

I have no need for that thing.

Thank you so much!

Really...

I really thank you so very much!

I'm glad I am your apprentice...

professor!

He's so easily distracted.

But...

it's all well if that will make him forget about the Holy Grail War.

To consider having other Servants serve under him to conquer the world...

However, in a land differing from the intended location,

what kind of Servants will be summoned?

Yes. That is certainly unpredictable.

Assassin aside, the other five will all depend on the summoner.

Hey, there are six aside from Assassin!

There are a total of seven Servants, right?

Enough of your nonsense!

No.

There are six of them in total...

Mr. Langal.

What?

The rules of the Holy Grail War in Japan indeed had seven classes.

However, in this city, the number is six.

The Saber-class, said to be the utmost superior class...

doesn't exist in this Fake Holy Grail War.

The system that those three houses created is truly splendid!

I wanted to start with a perfect copy of it...

but the Third Holy Grail War I used as reference was riddled with problems.

I really was at a loss.

You...

You're not Faldeus, are you?

No, I am Faldeus, you see?

Although, I've never shown you any truth other than that name.

You've taught me so much up to this very moment today.

In that aspect, I should give you my thanks first.

You said this country was young.

That makes it all the more reason to remember, old one.

What?

Do not look down upon a young nation.

Don't underestimate me, youngster!

I'm not underestimating you.

Therefore, I'll take you on with everything I have!

This is a sleight of hand...

not Magecraft.

We are not a group of Mages per se.

We are simply public servants who can use Magecraft...

for the country that you call "young."

It can't be that the United States―

Thank you for that comical dance.

You look about 30 years younger...

Mr. Langal.

That's strange.

Lord Jester?

I heard every Assassin Heroic Spirit wears a white skull mask.

I ask you.

Are you the Mage who summoned me in order to obtain the Holy Grail?

Yes, that's correct!

Overflow with agony...

I am your―

Zabaniya.

Our god...

does not hold a goblet.

Zabaniya!

Heretic Mages will be...

eliminated.

Nothing abnormal in the surroundings.

Good work.

Now, you guys don't know much about Mages, so I'll give a quick explanation.

Of course, they bleed and die just like any other...

and most forms of physical attacks are effective.

No matter how powerful the Magecraft, it can't fend off an attack from an anti-tank rifle.

The only exception would be someone like this who wasn't here to begin with.

Wha...

An artificial body. Rather, a puppet.

Mr. Langal is a cautious spy after all.

I'm sure his actual self is panicking inside his workshop right about now.

Then, doesn't that mean he heard all of the earlier conversation?

That's not a problem. It's all part of the plan.

Huh?

I gave him such an irrational speech to take to the afterlife...

because I wanted him to relay it to the Mage's Association.

This is our way of publicizing ourselves to the Mages,

as well as giving them a warning...

that the Fake Holy Grail War will begin...

now.

We do not seek the Holy Grail.

We merely wish to drive out the Mages...

who chose this Snowfield as the location of the Fake Holy Grail War and trampled upon this land.

That is our only earnest wish.

Tiné, was it?

That's insignificant.

Whoever it may be who stands on it, all lands are ultimately part of my garden.

I would usually brush them aside...

but things are different if they are trying to pilfer my treasures.

My tribe has coexisted with this land for the past thousand years.

But ever since a part of the government paired up with that group called "Mages,"

they've overrun this place in a mere 70 years.

These are the members of an organization created in the city to fight against them.

I've followed in my father's footsteps...

and was chosen for this war as our representative.

In your desire to borrow my strength...

I see you sally forth into this war with some modicum of conviction.

However, this is nothing more than an imitation.

The rabble gathered here other than myself should not amount to much.

Until an enemy worthy of my full attention takes the stage,

I shall spend my time under a different guise.

Well then, Faldeus should be making it known now.

Soon, the Holy Grail will grant Command Spells to six Mages.

And when that happens, one should appear on my hand, as well.

Right.

We were able to ready the Relic that's basically the Noble Phantasm itself.

Yeah.

They also said Tsubaki's reproductive functions have no issues whatsoever.

We are fortunate.

I still can't believe it.

To think Faldeus was a spy...

But that's the truth. And he's certainly not one of our double agents, either.

Professor Langal, can't you do something about that doll?

Everyone is looking at you.

I'm also embarrassed to have to walk around in such a quick-and-dirty job of a doll!

However, Faldeus may have planted something onto the others!

I have no time to care for appearances right now!

Oh?

Mr. Langal, do you need something?

You're still giving your usual lectures even in times like this?

You truly are dauntless, Lord.

What I can do for this current case is limited.

The truth is that I'm keeping myself together by going about it all as normal.

You discredit yourself.

I'm sure you want to rush over there before anyone else.

With my inexperience, the only thing I can do is to carefully ascertain the situation.

I would like your opinions as you can make a cautious adjudication...

about their objectives.

Let's take this somewhere else.

But Lord...

you say you're carefully ascertaining the situation, but you're quite the wily old fox.

What are you talking about?

You don't need to feign ignorance.

You already have an apprentice on-site, have you not?

Apprentice?

Yes.

One of the Association members who landed on-site yesterday said they saw your apprentice in the city.

Lord?

This mobile device you are calling is currently unavailable...

or outside service netwo―

Yes, this is―

It's me! There's something I need you to look up right away!

Records of a student entering or leaving the country!

Can you check if Flat Escardos has departed from this country?

Flat Escardos has boarded an airplane headed for the United States three days ago.

The departure reason is sightseeing and...

"Thank you, professor! Hurray to the London Star!"

I wonder what that means.

No, I've heard enough.

Thank you very much.

Shit!

Oh, I really have to be grateful for my professor!

Despite everything he said...

he got such a cool-looking Relic ready just for me!

So, your apprentice went to the United States all by himself?

While mistakenly thinking the toy you won from a special sweepstakes for a game...

was a Relic of a hero?

Seems that way.

But where did he learn about Snowfield?

He was eavesdropping on the top-secret briefing in the underground lecture hall the other day.

You must be joking, Lord.

Multiple Magecraft bounded fields were placed upon that meeting.

You'd have to be an extremely high ranked Mage, at least of Pride level―

Yes. What makes things awkward is that the Mage named Flat Escardos...

can easily get past bounded fields as such.

So, will this disappear once I use it?

It's not using my Magical Energy to sustain itself.

Is it directly connected to my Magic Circuit?

Three cords, each independent of one another...

Oh, so it will disappear.

All right! I'll try not to use Command Spells at any cost!

I ask you.

Are you the Master who summoned me?

Y-Yes?

Can I assume that answer was affirmative?

If so...

the contract is complete.

As fellows in seeking the Holy Grail, let's have a grand ol' time together.

Let's see.

What the...

You summoned me in such a public location with no altar?

No, wait.

The fact that there is no altar means...

you made no incantations, either?

I'm sorry.

I was kinda fiddling with all the flows of Magical Energy...

and somehow got connected with you!

That's fine.

It merely speaks of your superior quality as a Mage.

Um...

Would you mind telling me your name?

Hey you!

Hmm?

You've finally shown yourself!

Huh?

What are you talking about?

Oh, um, uh... That's not it!

Are you surprised?

Huh?

U-U-U-Um...

I simply wanted you to understand my characteristics before I introduced myself.

So, let me get to it.

My True Name is...

To be honest...

I don't know myself.

Hold up!

Those who'd know my actual name would be my true self, which is not of legend...

and the one who stopped my atrocities.

However...

there is a name people called me by.

A pen name that I supposedly went by when signing letters.

That is to say...

Jack the Ripper.

So, you're saying that because you are no one,

you have the ability to turn into anyone?

What is your class?

Assassin?

Oh, pardon me.

My class is Berserker.

What?

I was a legend created as the symbol of madness.

And such is the only class that matches my wavelength of madness.

So basically, multiplying negative with negative yields positive!

Um...

What kind of wish will you make if you find the Holy Grail?

Don't have a laugh at me, but...

What in the world am I?

That's all I want to know.

What you are...

I am a legend propagated in London...

and an existence that changes shape depending on tale or hypothesis.

And to me, that is very, very terrifying.

You might not understand since you have a physical body...

a name and a past you remember.

What will you do once you figure out who you really are?

Normally, memories of materialization cannot be taken back to the Throne, but the records remain.

If I can learn who I really am,

I should be able to approach my true form in my next materialization.

That sounds even more like someone without an identity.

Do people often say you're terrible at reading the room?

They say that a lot!

Thank you very much!

It's not really a compliment.

Well, we'll say it's a good thing.

We will likely not have this conversation again anyway.

But I do like folks like you.

Mysterious beings with no known identities!

What?

I mean, that sounds really awesome!

I'm glad you seem to be a good person for now!

O Master...

With my ability...

we can infiltrate anywhere you please!

It should be possible to directly crush an enemy Master if you choose!

Now, how will you proceed?

For now, the weather is really great, so let's sunbathe!

It feels really good!

Wha...

Oh, what a surprise!

The Holy Grail has sent quite the maverick my way.

Ah, I didn't think such remnants of humanity, such emotions, still dwelled in me!

So beautiful.

Pretty? Admirable? Bewitching? Perfect? Picturesque? Cute?

Oh, no good. I had an abundance of time.

If I had but mastered poetry in that time...

I cannot find words to describe her conviction!

However...

to unleash multiple terrifying Noble Phantasms...

in succession with no hesitation...

A Mage with an ordinary amount of Magical Energy would've long since used up his strength and died.

It seems I do not have to be bored with this world quite yet.

That beautiful Assassin!

And her conviction!

Can I let it fade away without a name?

No!

Who will authorize such a wasteful act?

I shall give her a name!

I will, to that beautiful face, soul, power, conviction...

Stain, tarnish, defame, subdue, crash!

What better pleasure is there to find?

It must be fun!

It must be fleeting. It must be beautiful!

I'll make that beautiful Servant kneel to me, break her beliefs...

and drain all of her power dry! What face will she show me then?

The King of Heroes has been summoned, I take it.

Yes. There was a report just now that Tiné Chelc has subjugated him.

What happened to the Kuruoka couple that we approached to form a united front?

Actually, we lost contact with them around the same time we made our proclamation.

As for the other Masters, we've confirmed many Mages entering the city,

but we haven't been able to confirm who now possesses the Command Spells.

I see.

The city's surveillance system is less useful than I expected.

However, there was one Mage confidently staring at his Command Spell...

all alone in Central Park in broad daylight.

After showing an illusion that seems to have been created by the Servant...

he was seen sunbathing.

Though, I must say the surveillance we put on him was easily thrown off his track,

so he seems to be quite a skilled Mage.

We are currently investigating his origins.

In light of the situation, I'm sure they're treating this with caution, as well.

Those government meddlers certainly know how to whip up a commotion.

It's fine.

In any case, the King of Heroes should be our biggest obstacle.

We'll be fine as long as that can be dealt with.

Call for them.

Wow!

Thank you, Father and Mother!

It's fine, Tsubaki.

You really tried hard.

That's right.

You're our precious treasure.

Thank you!

You're the one who brought Father and Mother here, right?

It's me.

Yo!

Ya doin' well, Brother?

Caster, huh?

What do you want?

Don't "What do you want?" me, man!

Hey, I just saw a bit of something on TV!

Is it true that there's a top-notch chick in this country who costs millions to bang?

If so, what of it?

Can you call her over for a bit tonight, Brother?

Oh, don't get me wrong, okay?

I'm not trying to buy her.

I'll make her a meal and try to woo her fair and square.

I don't recall ever becoming brothers with you.

What?

I won't let you forget...

that we drank from the same cup!

You made a contract as a Heroic Servant with me, a Master.

Nothing more, nothing less.

You don't get it!

My job is to create heroes.

I myself am never the hero.

But it's okay to praise me like I was a hero!

Call me "the extraordinary lady-killer who had dazzling romances with women all over the world...

from the Silk Road to Antarctica"!

You don't have anecdotes like that.

Hurry up and get back to your job.

Man! You're gonna keep me at it?

I've only got tasty food and great women to wish for from a Holy Grail.

More than that...

I wanna see what kind of drama the guys hopping onto this war's bandwagon will create...

and what kind of endings await them!

That's all I wanna see!

But you know what?

At this rate, I'm gonna die from overwork before I see the ending!

I'll get you food and women.

So hurry up and keep going with your job of sublimation.

First and foremost, if you're creating replicas, I've heard of others who are better suited!

Simple counterfeits will not do.

It must surpass the original to be able to compete against the vault of the King of Heroes.

Hah! If that was so...

I wish I hadn't joked around about plagiarism like how mine was better than the real thing!

Don't get me wrong.

I didn't choose you because of your anecdote of doubtful authenticity.

It was because I concluded that you had enough power...

to take a legend no matter how perfect and overwrite it, and then turn it into reality.

I'm not happy hearing compliments from men!

But we should put that line into a script! That's perfect for pillow talk!

Oh, and once you write that script, bring it to me.

More than legends, my expertise is in taking bad scripts and―

Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes...

I hear that a nameless sword and the infinite vault are the most troublesome of his Noble Phantasms.

Creating a momentary weakness by any means before he draws his sword...

is the only way of dealing with him.

But we are facing against a Heroic Spirit.

We can't even scratch him without a Noble Phantasm, the materialization of great Mystics.

However, what if a human body could fully utilize a Noble Phantasm surpassing that of the original?

And what if there are multiple humans who have mastered using said Noble Phantasm?

"Clan Calatin."

The name of warriors who battled against Cú Chulainn in Celtic legend.

Think of that as something like a codename for you guys.

These are cheap words...

but I will guarantee as the police chief...

and promise you as a Mage!

You guys are...

justice.

What are you here for?

Whaaat? You're acting a bit cold!

Can't I come here without something to tend to?

At the least, this isn't a place for outsiders to saunter in.

Oh, you're calling me "an outsider" now?

You've gotten quite authoritative, rookie.

"You guys are justice," was it?

That was an amazing acting job!

If I was the judge for the Golden Raspberry Award,

I'd have voted for you as Lead Male Actor hands down!

I didn't mean to say it as an act.

I only spoke the truth.

Oh? Oh?

Do you actually believe you're "justice"?

You, on the side that carried out this grand con...

I do.

Amazing! Just amazing!

But that's a bit different from patriotism, don't you think?

Because if you really loved this country, you'd never say something like this is justice!

Perhaps so.

But I have confidence that these actions are the result of believing in what should be believed.

Though...

our justice may not be so for the Holy Grail, as well.

It's fine!

A Ruler won't be coming to arbitrate this Holy Grail War.

What?

Snowfield's Holy Grail War will sublimate from fake to real...

and deviate from its right path!

And if that happens, even a Ruler can't intervene!

We can violate the Holy Grail War to our heart's content...

as long as one more Servant is summoned!

This is something amazing, you see?

To have a crack at that maiden again...

and to turn her into cinder that won't even be pig feed!

Oh! So amazing!

It'd be the best!

I want Ruler to show up after all!

Don't you think this is a wonderful thing?

I will do so if there is a need...

but I cannot think these actions are worthy of praise.

You're so stiff! Rock solid stiff!

Doesn't being some hero spouting about justice tire you out?

Life is easy once you pretend to be a villain!

Because no matter what you do, you can just resolve it by saying you're a villain.

It's also easy to pretend you've gone mad, too!

Because no matter what you do, you can just resolve it by saying you've gone mad.

Oh!

That's right! You can say the same thing for justice!

Right! Fake Caster wanted a woman, right?

Then, can I head over and keep him company?

Stop doing unnecessary things and hurry on back.

Yeah, yeah!

I'll stay quiet until it's my turn.

You can keep acting like the mastermind for now...

old hag.

You gave me a hard time!

Of all things, why were you given the Command Spells?

What do you think I even made you for?

For what purpose do you think I increased your Magic Circuits to the limit?

For what purpose?

You are a catalyst!

Why won't you accept the honor of becoming a catalyst to summon a god?

Instead, biting the hand that feeds you!

Live...

Fine. I have spares.

I'll have those Command Spells returned, but after that, you can die.

Live... Gonna live... I'm gonna live!

LIVE

Are you...

the Master who summoned me?

Thank you.

The contract is now sealed.

Impossible!

Impossible!

Such a thing cannot happen!

A beast...

A Chimera is a Master?

Gimme a break!

Please lower your gun.

My Master doesn't harbor any murderous intent toward you.

I can understand his language...

and by looking at the situation...

I can imagine what you have done to my Master.

However, my Master doesn't harbor any murderous intent toward you.

You understand what this means, right?

Hold on!

You desire the Holy Grail, as well, don't you?

Instead of making that damn dog your Master, pair with me―

I won't let it end like this!

If I release all the other Chimeras, I'd easily kidnap that mutt―

That would be a problem.

We'll be distressed if you cause some trouble out in the open.

We can't afford to have civilians against us, as well.

After all, we're public servants.

I'm quite the chatterbox.

But I can't speak at ease unless I'm speaking to a corpse.

You've created an awkward situation, too.

I didn't think you'd be trying to call for something...

in the realm of a Divine Spirit and not just a Heroic Spirit.

That is against the rules, system-wise.

Don't you know?

Even wars have their rules.

But...

to think that he...

No, perhaps the right word is "she," so I'll just settle for "it."

To think that it would appear as a Heroic Spirit...

Seriously.

Your pet has called forth something outrageous.

I'm glad.

I was thinking the entire world would've been covered in something like the city of Uruk.

But this world is still as beautiful as it ever was.

Unbelievable!

Is that you?

So, we can continue that duel from that town square.

That seems fun in its own right.

Is this... the presence of a Servant?

It's enormous.

This voice...

Is that you?

O mongrel girl, rejoice!

It seems this war is now worth my undivided attention.

That is a Potion of Youth.

There should be no need for you to use it at your age, but gratefully hold on to it.

Y-Y-Yes!

If you are going to be one of my vassals,

there's an order I must give you in advance.

If you are a young child, at least act like it a little bit.

If you don't know the ways of the world yet...

all you need to do is to keep your eyes shining with the light of myself, the king.

I will make my best effort.

Don't think this is in any way similar to the key that clown brought in.

This is like a tangible contract...

that I've signed of my own accord.

Tiné...

Prove to me.

If you're going to be overwhelmed with the aftermath of child's play...

know that you're not worthy of being my vassal.

SWORD OF RUPTURE EA

O Ea...

Your mood must be sour after awakening from your slumber.

But I will require your company for this banquet.

Oh, I won't bore you.

Not even one of you!

Master, I would like you to wait here for just a little bit.

I must take my leave.

I can greet him here...

but that would mean killing this forest.

And more than anything, I have no means to protect you.

Will you allow me to go?

Thank you, Master.

I promise to return to you...

as long as my life does not come to an end.

This is not good!

Let's get out of the forest!

The flow of mana has changed!

I'm afraid this forest is already under the control of that thing!

Please stay as far away from the desert as possible when you retreat!

I'll be sending drones and familiars over there!

Can this...

really be?

You haven't even gotten a grasp of the power structures.

Do you plan on starting already?

What's wrong, Master?

You kinda seem like a character-voiced toy alarm clock, Jack.

You're the one who made me take this form because it seems spy-like and cool, right?

Do you feel something?

Hmm?

There are two large flashy static noises of Magical Energy.

They're moving toward the east.

What is this?

There was a Mage who was doing surveillance of the desert with a familiar,

so I'm just taking a small peek.

Isn't that dangerous?

If they trace back to us, they'll know our location.

I'm doing my best to not get caught.

But if I do get caught, I'll make a wholehearted apology!

I have this strange feeling you would say the same thing even after killing someone.

Countless miniscule Magical Energy signals are detected in the city.

I believe the Mages who've infiltrated the city have released their familiars toward the desert.

What's the identity of the fifth summoned Servant?

It's not definite, but reports say...

Enkidu.

Ea!

Sing praise as you like!

I am happy...

to compare my abilities...

against you like this once again.

To put it in more modern terms...

I'm gonna go all out...

Gil!

I will tell you of the beginning.

Heaven and Earth split, nothingness congratulated creation...

and my sword cleaved the world!

Mortar of the stars...

heaven's hell is the eve of creation's celebration!

I will awaken the breath of the planet...

for I walk with humanity.

Therefore...

Enuma...

...Elish!

What is that?

Lightning!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

L-Lightning!

I-I'm scared!

What a relief.

I was momentarily bewildered by your nostalgic guise...

but what fills your vessel has not regressed.

To take the effort to greet me in the desert...

You are the only one foolish enough...

to prioritize caring for the forest over providing me with a warm reception.

Desolate though this appears, there should be sandworms and mice about.

Have you finally matured to the point where you can discriminate between life-forms?

I have no qualifications to do that.

I am a tool, so how I should be depends on my Master.

But this choice was my own decision.

I should be the only one the desert holds a grudge against.

Are you still spouting such nonsense?

You really haven't changed even after death.

Says you... who reincarnated into a tyrant while still alive.

Indeed.

If my childhood self glimpsed who I am now...

he would've ended his own life.

Is that so?

If your childhood self was just like what Shamhat said...

I'm sure he still would've chosen a path to live on...

for the sake of the people of Uruk.

Something despicable is coming.

Oh?

Likely my natural enemy of sorts.

A curse of death...

I, of all people, had lost myself in delight.

I'd completely forgotten there are thieves who are after my treasure.

Am I included among those thieves?

You have no need for the Holy Grail, do you?

You yourself can become a limited wish granter if you wanted to.

I have a duty to protect my Master, though.

I can't take damage and disappear from some interference.

I will choose to escape from here for now.

Well then, let us continue the banquet after we've executed all the insurgents.

You shouldn't, Gil.

A king shouldn't make such a depressing face.

You are preparing to flee, yet would speak of the ways of a king.

Your body can transform a thousandfold, yet you still haven't changed.

This is the final blow of the evening!

Take it in lieu of a contract for a reunion!

Of course, I intend to do so.

Marvelous!

This is beyond my imagination!

This is a power that can quite trample over my Servant!

This is amazing!

So this is...

the Holy Grail War.

This axis is wrong...

and this line has been annihilated.

Oh, this cutting is quite the...

No, it's the worst.

The giant spider will awaken.

No matter how we deal with it,

there will be no decent ending for the Association after all.

And yet, there is not enough reason for me to interfere.

We are at a complete stalemate.

What do you think about this?

Oh, pardon me. So you had noticed.

Did you think I was an old man who often talks to himself?

What do you want?

Unfortunately, I have quite a troublesome piece of work at the moment.

That's the reason why I came here, too.

What?

If you're going to choose one incident from Snowfield to observe,

don't choose a Mage.

You're better off selecting a world based on the intruder.

So, this girl should be the protagonist?

Right.

But you should be careful about interfering...

or the world will be fixed to one path.

I see.

That sounds like something he'd consider.

If so, I will adhere to being an outsider for this Holy Grail War, as well.

Yes.

Will her universe simply be a protocol, or will the reverse be the case?

Let's see things for ourselves with some anticipation.

I ask you.

Are you my Master?

I am not.

I will no longer...

be what you all want me to be!
