We walked around the streets while eating and briefly stopped at a karaoke room at the end.
I was surprised that Caster of Fuyuki and Tonelico sang better than expected. As for me, well, I was average. Or, should I say slightly below average...
Anyway, since evening had come, we headed to the docks.
First, from a spot a little away from the docks, we used Tonelico's magecraft to observe the situation at the docks. Diarmuid was provocatively waiting as per the original, and shortly after, Saber's group appeared.
Just looking at him like this, he really seems like a handsome young man. Is it because his chest is small...
Caster definitely seems bigger in that area. Tonelico has a similar build to begin with, but her chest seems bigger than Caster's. Just look at the Rain Witch version...
"Hmm, Master. It seems this is different from the Fourth Holy Grail War you experienced, doesn't it?"
"Huh? Why?"
"Take a look at this."
Above the container that Tonelico showed. There...
"What the..."
Surprisingly, Kiritsugu was concealed for sniping. Further away, Maiya was there too. Then, this isn't Accel Order...? It's the real Fourth Holy Grail War?
This complicates things a bit... Kiritsugu is troublesome. Other things aside, those Origin Rounds are a real problem.
Well, maybe we can take him out before he shoots. It would have been better if the roster had different members, you know.
The flow itself proceeded identically to the original. There was Diarmuid and Saber's battle, followed by Iskandar's appearance.
And then his true name reveal and subordinate offer, followed by intimidation, and then Gilgamesh also revealed himself. This isn't good...
"Still, there are rats hiding. Two beings who aren't even human... Did you come from paradise?"
"Oh my... It seems deceiving those eyes is difficult."
And you were just showing off. Merlin's magecraft would be more practical.
"All the tools you create are explosives, as Zhen Gong praised, aren't they?"
In the swimsuit version, the description for Tool Creation was that they were all explosives, which lowered its rank... Oberon, just what did you teach her...!
"It seems we need to go out."
"Certainly, even I wouldn't find that man easy. Even if I use my water mirrors, that man's treasury isn't easy to handle. He's an opponent I'd have to fight with all my might."
Well, the King of Heroes is definitely a Servant positioned as a powerhouse no matter how much time passes. In a way, isn't he almost unique among the early Servants? While everyone else's treatment worsens, in terms of combat power, he's always stable.
First, I walk through the container zone and reveal myself before everyone.
"Sorry for hiding. But I can't resist watching a fight, you know?"
"What an insolent jester. But you... I can see how many battlefields you've been through. A jester wearing a mask, no, a jester granted excessive power."
"I'll accept that."
He noticed right away. Quite different from that AUO whose intelligence clearly dropped from being soaked in mud, huh?
"Another Master..."
Waver looks at me warily, and everyone's gaze focuses on me. Ah, this burdensome attention...
"You're all giving me too much attention~ Well, is it because the Master came out before the Servants? Honestly, if you touch me, even I can't handle it, you know. A catastrophe might come from beyond dimensions? Enough with the threats... Come, Caster."
Along with my words, Caster of Fuyuki and Tonelico appear using teleportation.
"What...?"
"Se, Saber is... two?"
And the most surprised to see the two were Saber herself and Irisviel. Well, that makes sense. Looking at their faces, anyone can tell they're Saber.
"Hey hey, Saber. Did you have siblings?"
"That's impossible..."
But you do, man. Tonelico made a face for a moment. Well, she's Morgan, so she has memories of Proper Human History.
"Hooh~ Two of them. Two Servants, how interesting."
"To begin with, didn't the Edelfelts summon two Sabers in a previous Holy Grail War?"
How about that, my blabbering based on original knowledge. Logically, no one can refute it! That mother rabbit who knows this information must be flustered!
Then, Gilgamesh opens his Gate of Babylon, revealing ten Noble Phantasms.
"Foolish...! All of them are Noble Phantasms!?"
I'm not surprised, but everyone else has a shocked reaction. I already knew, that's why.
"Tonelico. I'm counting on you."
"Yes. I'll show you the power of a savior."
Then, Gilgamesh smiles thinly and fires the Noble Phantasms. Water mirrors deploy in front of Tonelico, and the Noble Phantasms are reflected right back at him. As if expecting this, Gilgamesh immediately deploys his Gate to retrieve them and then deploys dozens of other Gates.
Tonelico jumps back and then a warp zone opens, warping her right in front of Gilgamesh.
Boom!!!!!
A magical energy-charged reverse roundhouse kick strikes, and Gilgamesh immediately takes out a shield from his Gate to block her kick. That kick from the motion capture... And that shield... That's not just any shield, is it? Isn't that the original of Rho Aias from Prisma?
"Interesting... A mongrel worth fighting."
"Don't look down on a pureblood fairy of paradise."
Subsequently, Tonelico takes out a spear, stabbing at Gilgamesh, and a battle of attack and defense unfolds. She also takes out a greatsword and swings it, and as her magecraft deploys, hundreds of weapons appear from numerous water mirrors.
Tonelico rapidly deploys numerous formulas and executes magical attacks, while Gilgamesh fires numerous Noble Phantasms. Their battle is fierce and almost equal.
Bam!!!!
"Hooh... Clones, is it."
Then Tonelico begins using clone techniques. Clones with the same combat power and magical abilities as the original appear and attack Gilgamesh.
"It's at a level I can't even see..."
They're too fast even for me, the omniscient Yamucha's perspective.
While the two are fighting, shortly after, Berserker suddenly appears with black mist. What a sudden acceleration.
"Artoria."
"Yes."
"!?"
When I call Caster's name, Saber flinches in surprise. Surprised?
Bam!!!!
And then Caster immediately draws Marmyadose and swings it. A huge golden slash flies out, slicing through a container and causing an explosion. Berserker naturally dodges, and Caster then levitates stones with magecraft. And...
"Holy Sword Creation."
Screeeech!!!!
Numerous Excaliburs appear in the air.
"Arrrr...!?"
"{Excalibur}(The Sword of Promised Victory)"
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ahh, what a beautiful light."
And simultaneously, the numerous fired Excaliburs shatter with a Broken Phantasm, and a huge golden light soars upward. I can hear the Church's migraine from the secrecy measures~
"I'm sorry... but you're not my opponent."
"Ar.... Arrrthurrrrrr...."
"You survived well. Good instincts. But, I expected that much."
"!?"
Four stakes impaled in Berserker's shadow. The white-hilted sword Carnwennan, known as Shadow Step. Berserker, whose movement is sealed by Carnwennan's power.
"Farewell. You should have taken better care of your lower body... Marmyadose."
Booooom!!!!
She holds the massive sword Marmyadose, as tall as herself, with both hands, and then the sword automatically flies at high speed, shining golden, and slices Berserker clean in two.
If you can't move, even Nine Lives is meaningless. In the end, the reason he fought well against Gilgamesh in Zero due to compatibility was only because Gilgamesh held back.
"Berserker... that easily?"
Saber can't hide her surprise at the scene before her. Well, they're Noble Phantasms she used in her lifetime.
"How amusing... It's been so long since I've had a fight like this since Enkidu... That coward Tokiomi summoned me as a Servant. The mood is ruined."
"You're not running away, are you? Frankly... I'm confident, you know? If you see the future, I can see you who sees the future. If we continued fighting like this, I would have won."
"Ha! How arrogant? Witch."
"Thousands of years of experience is the decisive difference between you and me, King of Heroes. I know your power very well. I've fought you many times, you know?"
"What?"
"Even if you don't let your guard down, there are many ways to win. That treasury of yours... I can close it even without a key, so please be careful not to touch the ripples of that treasury. Without your treasury, you're the weakest in this Holy Grail War."
"How amusing..."
Can she really interpret that...? Well, she's a genius who created a throne and protected the Fairy Kingdom, and made multiple Rhongomyniads. A monster even Goetia acknowledged... Is it obvious, then? If Medea is within the top five in magical ability, she would easily be within the top two or three.
Is this the downside of worldview expansion? Then how much will Medea's magical ability be buffed in terms of settings...? And what about Circe, who is a higher version? I feel some cognitive dissonance.
Gilgamesh smiles thinly and leaves...
"Hmm... The mood just died~ Such awkward silence, I hate it..."
The gazes looking at me have changed. Looks as if they're seeing a demon king. Ah, please don't tell anyone. The fact that I command fairies of paradise...!
"Well, it seems you don't intend to fight us any further? To begin with, this side can transform trash into holy swords with magecraft, you know? Saber."
"... Could it be, the first Holy Sword user...?"
The first Holy Sword user? ... Ah~ The one who defeated Sefar? The one who wielded the Excalibur created 14,000 years ago? But that's not right.
Seeing Holy Sword Creation, did she feel it wasn't her? They are clearly different people, right?
Anyway...
"Hey~ Mrs. Irisviel."
"Huh...?"
"Congratulations on participating in the Holy Grail War. Is your daughter doing well?"
"!?"
Ah, I wanted to say that line. I deliberately put on a sly smile and immediately leave the scene using Tonelico's water mirror.
"Hey, Tonelico. Can you also make Saint Quartz?"
"... Of course it's possible. I can make QP too, wouldn't I be able to do that much? I've long since mastered all of Chaldea's systems, you know? But, who are you planning to summon?"
"Well... I was debating between a Magician or a Goddess... but I've decided for now."
Well... What's so great about the Holy Grail War? Isn't the winner the one who enjoys it?
"So... what do you want to do?"
"... It's simple."
"I'm going to kill Kiritsugu."
