Dialogue
Story Recap
- (Trailblazer): Under the guise of a variety show, Old Oti orchestrated an unprecedented "Holy Grail War" in Penacony. Seven Masters were to summon illustrious figures from history as Servants, all vying for the chance to grant any wish.
- (Trailblazer): Having survived the relentless assaults by Skott and Lancer, a twist of fate allowed me to summon a Servant from another world: Saber, Altria. This otherworldly hero, known as "King Arthur," pledged herself to our alliance.
- (Trailblazer): We set out to pursue Old Oti's lackey, Skott, and uncover the conspiracy simmering beneath the War, only to find ourselves ensnared in Assassin Grady's Noble Phantasm.
- (Trailblazer): Within his Bounded Field, the quick wits of Aventurine and Archer allowed us to expose Grady's weakness and strike him down. But the victory was bitter: Robin's Servant, Caster Miss Note had fallen under his influence and turned her back on us.
- (Trailblazer): As we reached the Grand Theater, Miss Note stood in our path and plunged us into an illusion of an endless, mediocre life. Side by side, Saber and I shattered the illusion, finally standing face-to-face with the man behind it all: Old Oti.
- (Trailblazer): To our surprise, his attempt to summon the "Self" within our hearts manifested as a monstrous parasite. With our combined efforts, both Berserker and the Holy Grail were reduced to ash.
- (Trailblazer): With the crisis averted, the Servants bid their final goodbyes, their forms slowly dissolving from this world. The shattered Holy Grail, though restored, has lost its resonance with the memoria, remaining with me only as a silent relic... But little did I know, it would soon spark a new storm...
Ask Furbulitzer about the situation
Mission DescriptionBefore officially introducing the Imagenae Holy Grail War, I must first introduce you all to the protagonist of this Holy Grail War, I mean the protagonist of this galaxy aside from myself, (Trailblazer)...
...Ugh, what a dreadful opening. No one sees this until it's polished to perfection.
- (Talk to Furbulitzer)
- Furbulitzer: How terrible... Ah, you're back! If I may ask, are you planning to write an article, draft an article, or revise an article?
Wait. Say that again. "How terrible"?
- Furbulitzer: ..."How terrible."
- (Trailblazer): No, I mean, what is terrible?
- That's all writing. Can't I just slack off?
- Furbulitzer: ...Ah, of course you can slack off and think about happy things.
- (Trailblazer): Are you implying that there are unhappy things to think about, too?
- ...I already know what happened.
- Furbulitzer: You already know!? If I'd known that, I wouldn't have tried to hide it.
- (Trailblazer): Well, I hadn't always known...
- Furbulitzer: No point hiding it... Then this little furbo will stop trying to protect your mental well-being, Boss. Time to go all out and hold nothing back...
- Furbulitzer: Please watch the latest edition of Arcadian Morning Report!
- Poofy: We interrupt our regular programming for breaking news!
- Snowie: Planarcadia's weather station has issued a Code Gold Rainstorm Warning: Over the past six hours, valuable goods, including precious metals, rare artwork, and jewelry, have continuously fallen across the entire arcadia.
- Poofy: Citizens are advised to beware of falling objects. Please stay indoors and refrain from scavenging, to avoid looting-related incidents.
- Poofy: Didn't know that this counted as weather, or that a warning could be issued after the rain's stopped. Let's move on to the next story...
- Snowie: Today, a major theft of exhibited items occurred at the Star Rail FEST currently being held on the skyline's Lookout Cloud.
- Snowie: The Security Bureau has high praises for the thieves' professional skills: According to our source, the theft was "non-violent and incredibly disciplined."
- Poofy: We'll be right back after a commercial break...
- Furbulitzer: That's just unprofessional. They skipped right over the most important part!
- Just be straight with me. What of mine was stolen?
- Furbulitzer: How impressive! Realizing you're the victim right away!
- Furbulitzer: Our field reporters are rushing to the scene right now, but...
- Furbulitzer: If you want to know exactly what was stolen, it's probably best if you went there yourself.
- Did I really have stuff there?
- Furbulitzer: ...Yes. The Express loaned out many items at the request of Pearluxe Corp. You just forgot!
- Alright, I'll go investigate.
- Furbulitzer: Boss, when you're done investigating, we can do a special feature on the victim!
Investigate the crime scene
- (Enter Exploratory Excursion Investigate! Crime Scene)
-
- (Begin Investigate! Crime Scene)
Talk to the one in red clothes and black twintails
- Step DescriptionAnd so, thanks to a twist of events, (Trailblazer) ended up forming a contract with me. Just like that.
As for who's to blame for this mess... let's not talk about it.
- A while ago...
- Duomension City, Graphia Academy Rooftop...
- Rin Tohsaka: (I've been hiding out for days, and I even managed to steal the Holy Grail, but I still can't seem to figure out a way to leave...)
- Rin Tohsaka: (To think I'd end up in a world with absolutely no connection to magecraft...)
- Rin Tohsaka: (This absurd development is practically mocking me. Is a so-called "flawless" countermeasure fundamentally impossible in a world that completely rejects magecraft?)
- Rin Tohsaka: ...
- Rin Tohsaka: (No... Tohsaka, stay cool...)
- Rin Tohsaka: ("Conduct yourself with elegance at all times"...)
- Rin Tohsaka: (...Judging by the look of things, it's time to check my reserves of magical energy.)
- Rin Tohsaka: The energy in my gem is bottoming out. It's nowhere near enough to perform "warp" magecraft...
- Rin Tohsaka: (This Holy Grail, however real or fake it may be, does actually seem to react to Wishpower.)
- Rin Tohsaka: (If I use the Wishpower inherent to this land to summon a Servant, I might be able to bypass the ritual's original restrictions. Even without a Master providing magical energy, they might be able to materialize on their own...)
- Rin Tohsaka: (Afterwards, whether it's for the ritual to leave this place or stocking up on magic items, I can just ask them for help... right?)
- Rin Tohsaka: (...)
- Rin Tohsaka: (...Let's just do the summoning first.)
- Rin Tohsaka: Preparations, ready.
- Rin Tohsaka: Wavelength, ideal.
- Rin Tohsaka: It's not the best timing, but here goes...
- Rin Tohsaka: I can and I will draw the perfect card!
- Rin Tohsaka: "For the elements, silver and iron..."
- Rin Tohsaka: "For the foundation, stone and the Archduke of Pacts..."
- Rin Tohsaka: "For the ancestor, my great master, Schweinorg..."[Note 1]
- Rin Tohsaka: (Wait... Should I change the chant here...?)
- Rin Tohsaka: "I hereby swear: I shall be all the good in the world. I shall defeat all evil in the world..."
- Rin Tohsaka: "Thou art the strider entwined with the many Paths..."
- (Cutscene begins)
- (Cutscene ends)
- (Contract Forged!)
- (Trailblazer): ...
- Rin Tohsaka: ...
- Rin Tohsaka: (I have just enough Wishpower to last seven days... That's fairly ample time. Now let's see what kind of support this person can provide.)
- Rin Tohsaka: (Speaking of which, what class is (he?/
she?) (He's/ She's) holding a... uh, baseball bat?) - Rin Tohsaka: (Wait, come to think of it, if the summoning ritual is built entirely on Wishpower, would the summoned Servant even be able to provide magecraft assistance?)
- Rin Tohsaka: (Darn it. I messed up again, didn't I!)
- Rin Tohsaka: ...
- Rin Tohsaka: Ahem, ahem! I ask of you...
- Rin Tohsaka: Are you... my Servant?
- Looks like it.
- Am I supposed to be a Servant?
- My, my, looks like I really drew the short straw.[Note 2]
- Rin Tohsaka: Huh...?
- Rin Tohsaka: (There's a Command Spelll... So the contract is formed.)
- Rin Tohsaka: Pardon my rudeness. Allow me to properly introduce myself.
- Rin Tohsaka: My name is Rin Tohsaka. I'm a mage and a traveler, searching for a world where mana hasn't dried up... Uh, that's a very powerful energy source. That's why I travel between different world lines.
- Rin Tohsaka: Unfortunately, I've run into some... difficulties, leaving me no choice but to activate the Holy Grail.
- Rin Tohsaka: Since you were able to answer the summon without a catalyst, you must either share my affinity or have a deep connection to the Holy Grail. I suppose that's a silver lining.
- Rin Tohsaka: Therefore, as your Master, I formally request of you, my Servant: Whatever it takes, please do your utmost to help me leave this world within the next seven days.
- (Trailblazer): ...
- Fine, I'll help you.
- Rin Tohsaka: Uh, r—really?
- No way. Don't even think about it.
- Rin Tohsaka: Uh, wh—why?
- Because the Holy Grail you stole is mine.
- Rin Tohsaka: Eh...?
- Rin Tohsaka: How did this happen...!?
- Some time later...
- Rin Tohsaka: I see... Paths, Aeons, the Astral Express, Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail... I understand it all.
- Rin Tohsaka: Furthermore, you're actually the protagonist of this universe. That's quite reassuring.
- Rin Tohsaka: I apologize, Protagonist. I never intended to drag you away from your Trailblazing journey into all this, let alone trouble you to stay with me for seven whole days...
- Rin Tohsaka: If all goes well, please allow me to wait until the issue is resolved before formally presenting both my apologies and my gratitude.
- I'll let it slide since I get to be a Servant.
- What I need right now is an explanation.
- If the price is right, I'll pretend this never happened.
- Rin Tohsaka: Hm? Wait, I sense bloodlust.
- Rin Tohsaka: Did you hear that too?
Investigate the righteous barking of a dog
- ???: *Righteous barking of a dog*
- Rin Tohsaka: A dog? Why is there dog barking?
- (Approach marked location)
- Rin Tohsaka: Uh, are they... your fans?
- Righteous Woofae A: Found them, woof! It really is the Supplicant, woof!
- Righteous Woofae B: But doesn't (he/
she) own the Holy Grail, woof? Is this right, woof? - Wanna catch her? You'll have to defeat her Servant first!
- I'm a victim here! Just take her!
- Righteous Woofae C: Whatever! Remember, the boss lady wants her alive, woof!
- (Begin battle against
Security Doggo ×2) - Rin Tohsaka: W—Wait, is this some kind of misunderstanding!? I'll hurt them if I use Gandr on them...
- Rin Tohsaka: ...But fine! Since we're past the niceties, here's a Command Spell for you!
- (Trailblazer): Is that how you use a Command Spell!?
- (Wave 2: Security Doggo ×3)
- Righteous Woofae DEF: We're here to help, Senior! Woof!
- Rin Tohsaka: They just keep coming!
- (Wave 3: Security Doggo ×3)
- Righteous Woofae Sheriff S: Overwhelming them with dogs didn't work. Guess I, the Sheriff, will just have to handle it personally, woof!
- Rin Tohsaka: A big doggy!? Isn't this a bit overkill?
- Righteous Woofae Sheriff S: *I'm a wolf! How rude, woof!*
- (After reducing the Sheriff to under 100 HP)
- Rin Tohsaka: Wait, there's a strange fluctuation of magecraft—
- Rin Tohsaka: Look out!
- (Gae Bolg)
Talk to K9 Officer of Culann
- Step DescriptionTo be honest, when I traveled through other planes in the past, I'd run into familiar faces here and there...
But the ones in this world... they're nothing like before.
- (After the battle)
- Lancer: Alright, canine brothers and sisters.
- Lancer: (He's/
She's) innocent. Ever heard of Holy Grail/stay night? - We meet again, my man!
- Lancer: Long time no see, (bro/
sis).
- Lancer: Long time no see, (bro/
- Who are you?
- Lancer: Come on... treating me like a stranger?
- Rin Tohsaka: You're really that Lancer? Cú Chulainn?
- Rin Tohsaka: (Is he a Servant? I can't sense any magical energy from him either... But why?)
- Lancer: Miss Tohsaka? Just dropping my True Name like it's nothing... Like Servant, like Master, huh?
- Rin Tohsaka: What's the "Hound of Culann" doing here? You know me? How?
- Kuchiba: It's the "K9 Officer of Culann" now.
- Kuchiba: Security Officer Kuchiba from the Department of Aberration Defense. Also Lancer's Master.
- Kuchiba: Female, red clothes, black twintails — matches the eyewitness account for the Holy Grail theft.
- Kuchiba: Come with us.
- What's going on?
- Uh-oh, an opponent has appeared.
- Do I get credit for bringing her in?
- Rin Tohsaka: (Something's off. If Lancer is here, that means...)
- Rin Tohsaka: W—Wait a minute! I can cooperate with your investigation, but I want to know... when did you two form a contract?
- Kuchiba: Last night. He came with that golden rain.
- Rin Tohsaka: As I thought.
- Rin Tohsaka: As we can see, here we have two Masters and two Servants, each having formed a contract.
- Rin Tohsaka: But a Holy Grail War needs 7 pairs of Masters and Servants, or 14 competitors in total, yes?
- Lancer: Oh? Are you saying a new Holy Grail War has started?
- Rin Tohsaka: I'm afraid that just last night, when I touched the Holy Grail, I unintentionally used Wishpower to turn the people and events in my mind into reality. Then the Holy Grail selected seven pairs of Masters and Servants across all of Planarcadia, kicking off a new Holy Grail War.
- Rin Tohsaka: You're not just looking for the thief, you're investigating a series of vicious crimes revolving around the Holy Grail, right?
- Things are escalating fast...
- Finally, a chance for a real fight.
- So I might see some unexpected familiar faces?
- Kuchiba: We haven't received reports of other crimes, but your hypothesis warrants further discussion.
- Lancer: Ugh, why am I stuck in a classroom full of people who only talk in code?
- Lancer: Boss Lady, admit it: You're thinking the same thing as her. She's not our perp.
- Rin Tohsaka: ...I consider myself pretty straightforward!
- Kuchiba: Well, considering the possibilities Miss Tohsaka brought up...
- Kuchiba: I personally propose we work together to investigate the Holy Grail case. As a key figure in the Penaconian Holy Grail War, your knowledge and initiative can be of unique help to the investigation.
- No problem. I've always wanted to be a Servant.
- Lancer: Never thought we'd be fighting side-by-side like this. I look forward to it.
- As a Nameless, such is my duty.
- Kuchiba: Spoken like someone who's saved the world a few times.
- Well, if you say it like that...
- Rin Tohsaka: Then it's decided!
- Kuchiba: Time to redeem yourself, Miss Tohsaka. But if anybody asks, for example a member of the public, say you are an expert witness—
- ???: Ding-Dong! The streamer you follow, "SparkletteCantHideStinkyTofu," is now live!
- Kuchiba: ...Whose phone is that?
- I think... it's mine.
- I swear to the heavens, I don't watch that stuff!
- Lancer: Oh, please. The sound came from your pocket.
- So, Master, you watch streamers too.
- Rin Tohsaka: Streamers? Like confetti?
- Kuchiba: Let's check it out.
- Castorice?: ...
- Castorice?: ...
- Is that... Castorice!?
- Is that... Sparxie!?
- Who... is that!?
- Mysterious Off-Screen Voice: (Say your lines! Say your lines!)
- Castorice?: I... I can't...
- Lancer: Well, that fell apart pretty fast.
- Mysterious Off-Screen Voice: (Just close your eyes and read your lines!)
- Castorice?: I—If I close my eyes, I can't read my lines...
- Mysterious Off-Screen Voice: (Don't make me use a Command Spell, okay?)
- Castorice?: O—Okay...!
- Castorice?: E—Everyone~! H—Have you all been working hard today~? Have you been eating properly~?
- Mysterious Off-Screen Voice: (Tell them to stop spamming! You're the new streamer Sparklette, don't forget that!)
- Sparklette: I—I'm the new streamer, Sparklette~! T—Today is my very first livestream~!
- Sparklette: I was designed by the same artist who birthed Sparxie~! I don't blame you for mistaking me as a reincarnation of my great senior, Sparxicle~!
- Mysterious Off-Screen Voice: (You were born to do this!)
- Sparklette: S—Speaking of reincarnation, you guys must have a ton of old phones and game consoles lying around that you want to get off your hands, right~?
- Sparklette: I just happen to know a second-hand trade-in platform that promises no middleman markups. I'll share it with you right now~!
- Sparklette: It's such a great platform, I can't just casually tell you...
- Sparklette: Remember the golden rain last night? Actually, that was a warm-up event for my debut stream~
- Sparklette: The First Sparklette Fan Treasure Hunt starts now: Just bring any treasure back to Sparklette, and you'll receive a surprise little gift~
- Kuchiba: That's enough. Stop.
- Sparxicle is not to be underestimated...
- Was that a virtual avatar, or the real her?
- Kuchiba: Maybe that epic gave her inspiration. With the way things are going down, it probably has something to do with the Holy Grail War, too.
- Thank you, Ad-Skipping Lady.
- Kuchiba: Who would've thought your claim would be proven so quickly. Our very first case is apparently a kidnapping...
- Kuchiba: ...She might be locked up, but she's never logged off.
- Kuchiba: ...Hmm?
- Kuchiba: Hmm, you found... what? Tsk.
- Kuchiba: ...Got it. Lock down the news, keep it strictly under wraps. Yeah, I'm heading back right now.
- Lancer: What's going on?
- Kuchiba: HQ just got a massive number of reports, all related to the Holy Grail.
- Kuchiba: Here, take this card. This is my informant. You two go meet up with them first. Lancer and I will catch up later.
- Kuchiba: When the time comes, I hope you two can share your thoughts on the Holy Grail from an expert perspective.
- Rin Tohsaka: Leave it to us, Miss Kuchiba.
- Rin Tohsaka: Things aren't too bad...
- Rin Tohsaka: Contract or no contract, we're partners in crime now.
- It's an honor.
- Rin Tohsaka: Quite the smooth talker. But relax, I'm not a fan of strict hierarchies.
- Rin weaves a clever chain of schemes, and I walk straight to the guillotine.
- Rin Tohsaka: Refusing is pointless anyway. But don't worry, I'm not a fan of strict hierarchies.
- Rin Tohsaka: Speaking of which, I forgot to ask: What should I call you, my Servant of unknown class?
- Just call me Trailblazer.
- Rin Tohsaka: Huh? Are you trying to pass with some nonsensical class? Do you take me for an idiot?
- Just call me "Stellaron host."
- Rin Tohsaka: Huh? Are you trying to pass with a nickname? Do you take me for an idiot?
- Just call me Baseball Raccoon.
- Rin Tohsaka: Huh? Are you trying to pass as a cartoon character? Do you take me for an idiot?
- Rin Tohsaka: Eh, can't be helped. As much as it bugs me, we have to take things one step at a time.
- Rin Tohsaka: Now, let the two protagonists of the Holy Grail War breeze through this challenge together!
Meet up with Kuchiba's informant
- (Approach marked location)
- Rin Tohsaka: So, you mean...
- Rin Tohsaka: The informant is right here in your newspaper agency?
- That's where the trail led us, so most likely.
- Rin Tohsaka: No, I mean, why on earth do you own a newspaper agency!?
- Yes, I own a newspaper agency.
- Rin Tohsaka: So... why on earth do you own a newspaper agency!?
- "Narrator": You've been waiting for this exact moment for a long time. This is the whole point of owning a newspaper agency.
- "Narrator": Not for the truth, not for profit, but only to answer her question with the most nonchalant tone you can muster...
- Rin Tohsaka: Whoa, where'd this monkey come from?
- "Narrator": I'm "Narrator," receptionist at the Ashen Detective Agency, and the detective's assistant.
- Rin Tohsaka: "Narrator"? What sane person gives their pet that name?
- "Narrator": The one inside. He's been waiting for you two for quite a while. This way, please.
Talk to Kuchiba's informant's master
- (Approach Ashveil)
- Reporting Furb: That woman snatched my treasure, and robbed thirty-two bystanders on the road — all in broad daylight!
- Ashveil: Did that woman have red clothing, black twintails, and a gray-haired lackey tagging along?
- Reporting Furb: Goodness! Are you a mind-reader?
- Ashveil: Here's your robber. Let's settle the bill.
- Reporting Furb: Way faster than I expected! I don't have that much cash on me...
- Reporting Furb: Y—You there! Bad Lady, pay the bill for me!
- Rin Tohsaka: Who, me?
- She's not the person you're looking for.
- You stole something else?
- Rin Tohsaka: I didn't! It's a misunderstanding.
- Rin Tohsaka: The real culprit is that streamer, Sparxie. She just admitted herself that she's after the treasures. She even started a treasure hunt.
- Rin Tohsaka: Don't tell me the great Ashen Detective wasn't able to gather this little piece of intel.
- Ashveil: Why thank you, kind citizen, for giving me this little piece of intel.
- Ashveil: Sorry, furbo. Look, the real culprit is someone else. You'll just have to wait.
- Reporting Furb: Th—Then what about the bill?
- Ashveil: It's fine, I'll put it on your tab.
- Reporting Furb: Th—Thank you! You're such a good person, Ashy Detective!
- Ashveil: I sent the furb away. Now comes the part in the novels where we discuss hush-hush money, right?
- Rin Tohsaka: ...Is he really the informant? He seems more like a con artist than a detective.
- Ashveil: Sorry. Considering this lady matches the witness accounts perfectly, I had to play it safe.
- Should you base your accusation on witness accounts alone?
- Rin Tohsaka: Exactly...
- Any chance it's actually her?
- Rin Tohsaka: Don't even think about it.
- Ashveil: I'm just saying, the culprit's getup in the witness accounts is a dead ringer for yours: leather jacket, pendant, earrings... down to the number of folds on the bow. Every single detail lines up.
- Ashveil: But Sparxie makes sense. She's a master of disguise — I wouldn't be surprised to see her impersonate a Slumbernana Monkey.
- "Narrator": Disclaimer: This guy doesn't know the first thing about deduction or Sparxie. Take everything he says with a grain of salt.
- Ashveil: What about those six special treasures? You admitted it yourself, it was among the top three deductions I've ever made in my career.
- Six special treasures?
- "Narrator": That's right. On top of looting everything in sight, Sparxie also targeted six people specifically.
- Ashveil: I can say for certain that there's nothing special about them as individuals.
- Ashveil: What happened was six people picked up six exceptionally precious treasures in the golden rain.
- Ashveil: It just so happens that two of these lucky ducks are my clients. They aren't into antiques, so they handed the treasures over to me...
- Ashveil: Here. You can tell it's worth a fortune.
- Is this an ancient artifact?
- Is this... a failed student assignment from Graphia Academy?
- Rin Tohsaka: This is... ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform.
- Rin Tohsaka: Don't tell me... the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, got summoned too?
- Lancer: Unfortunately, you guessed right. This is his treasure, the Tablet of Destinies.
- Lancer: By the way, the Boss Lady and I scored the King's Vintage. Not gonna lie, it tasted splendid.
- Rin Tohsaka: ...So it really is him. Could it be that he's the one behind that golden rain last night?
- Lancer: I heard he can connect to the treasury of Babylonia across space and take whatever he wants. If he happens to misplace something, he has ways to recover it immediately. I mean, if anyone's gonna make it rain treasures from the sky, it's gotta be that Goldy guy.
- Rin Tohsaka: But we know what he's like. Would he let the treasures he so painstakingly collected just scatter everywhere?
- Lancer: Are you suggesting someone played Robin Hood with him? Unlikely. As much as I hate to admit, he is a legendary king, an absolute anomaly among Servants.
- Lancer: Anyone who could pull off robbing him... would have to be a Divine Spirit-level big shot.
- Rin Tohsaka: Mr. Detective, may I ask what characteristics these two clients of yours have?
- Ashveil: One is a frosty, silver-haired girl, and the other an unkillable, natural-born fighter. You wouldn't happen to know them, would you?
- Kuchiba: ...You might actually be right.
- Rin Tohsaka: Wait, no way.
- Lancer: Exactly what you're thinking. We just made a new discovery.
- Lancer: I'm afraid a new Holy Grail War has already begun — and the participants correspond to those from the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.
- "Narrator": Lancer and Rin give everyone a rundown of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.
- (Quick Read)
-

Other Factions
Team Lancer & Overseer
Master: Kirei Kotomine
A member of the clergy with a saintly aura. From his position as an Overseer, he should theoretically avoid intervening in the conflict, but...
Two Servants are present simultaneously: Lancer and Archer.
Why there are two Archers, you ask? Well, that is another story entirely.
But if it concerns the oldest King of Heroes, the one who holds all the treasures and wisdom in the world, nothing he does should come as a surprise.
...
- Ashveil: Very convincing, but some people this time clearly didn't experience that Holy Grail War firsthand. How do we explain that?
- Rin Tohsaka: Well, that's easy.
- Because the Holy Grail belongs to me.
- Rin Tohsaka: That's my Servant for you.
- Because my own experiences are woven into this war.
- Rin Tohsaka: That's my Servant for you.
- Because... Aha just made it happen.
- Rin Tohsaka: I guess... you're not wrong.
- Rin Tohsaka: The answer is still "Wishpower." The Holy Grail didn't just turn my memories into reality — (Trailblazer)'s adventures were also woven into it.
- Lancer: Boss Lady, you're definitely related to my true Master from back in the day.
- Lancer: She was a true warrior, a comrade you could trust with your back. Might as well mention too, she got backstabbed by some priest and ended up missing the fight.
- Kuchiba: ...I think I'll pass on the last part.
- Rin Tohsaka: Still, there's one thing that doesn't add up: (Trailblazer) and I never got anything. Why?
- True, I can vouch for that.
- Maybe it got sent to my mailbox.
- Rin Tohsaka: Mailbox? You guys still send letters?
- Friendship is the most precious treasure!
- Rin Tohsaka: Right...
- Kuchiba: I think... the Holy Grail itself is your share of the treasure.
- Rin Tohsaka: Um, so it seems... the Holy Grail reclaimed the Wishpower from the treasures...
- Lancer: ...Converted it into magical energy, and stored it away. So here in this arcadia filled with Wishpower, the Holy Grail is still functioning in its own weird way. It just can't take back the souls of Servants anymore.
- Lancer: If we can fill it up with the King of Heroes' treasures, it should give you all the magical energy you need to continue your journey. As for our imagenated bodies, they should dissipate on their own once the Holy Grail War ends.
- Rin Tohsaka: ...Just the treasures should be enough! I'm a pacifist!
- Kuchiba: Relax, Lancer. I'm not letting you sneak back into the Holy Grail early. Get ready to do the heavy lifting.
- Lancer: Beats being ordered to kill myself.
- Kuchiba: All in all, our way forward is clear. The Department of Aberration Defense will now formally invite you two to join the "Imagenae Holy Grail War" Special Ops Team as consultants.
- Kuchiba: Of course, since we're still severely short-handed, you two will also be pulling double duty as field operatives.
- What do we need to do?
- Can I say no?
- Rin Tohsaka: D—Don't mind (him!/
her!) We waive our right to refuse! - Kuchiba: Very good.
- Rin Tohsaka: D—Don't mind (him!/
- What's the pay like? Do I get full benefits?
- Kuchiba: Unfortunately, no. But you can expense everything to me.
- Kuchiba: Oh, and you'll be eligible for the Department of Aberration Defense's "Best Contractor of the Year" award.
- Can't Lancer send her back?
- Lancer: Unfortunately... I'm a pure imagenated lifeform right now, so I can't provide this young lady with any magical energy.
- Kuchiba: The assignment is easy. First, recover as many of the scattered treasures as possible to keep the chaos from spreading. Second, find a way to control the other participants, especially Sparxie.
- Kuchiba: We strongly suspect she's using this opportunity to brew some other conspiracy. We must nip it in the bud.
- Kuchiba: Do you two have any other questions?
- Rin Tohsaka: I get to redeem myself, and gather enough magical energy to continue my journey... Two birds, one stone! I'll do my best to cooperate!
- Kuchiba: Let's set up a temporary base here and meet up regularly. Don't worry, it won't interfere with the newspaper's normal operations.
- Kuchiba: Lastly, there's only one rule for this operation: Maintain strict confidentiality throughout, and resolve things as peacefully as possible.
- Kuchiba: I look forward to seeing a stellar performance from all of you.

- Step DescriptionWith that, the Imagenae Holy Grail War officially began. That is already a shocking amount of information to take in, isn't it?
However, I could never have imagined back then that this was only the beginning of a long series of bizarre adventures...
- (Approach marked location)
- Rin Tohsaka: (Trailblazer), over here! Let's go over the current situation together.
View the case board- Rin Tohsaka: Where should we start?
- Rin Tohsaka: Even though I arrived in a completely strange world, by some stroke of luck, I met the protagonist of this universe.
- (Trailblazer): Don't describe the Holy Grail heist as a "stroke of luck"!
- Rin Tohsaka: A—Alright! Anyway, now that we've sealed the final contract, the "Imagenae Holy Grail War" has officially begun.
- Rin Tohsaka: We know that there will be seven pairs of Masters and Servants. As the mastermind behind everything... no, wait, the instigator... Anyway, it is up to me and you to control the other Master-Servant pairs and keep things from getting out of hand.
- Rin Tohsaka: But we have a new and different goal this time. Instead of fighting over the Holy Grail, we are fighting over treasures.
- Rin Tohsaka: As it turns out, when the ritual started, all the Wishpower inside the Holy Grail somehow turned into treasures and rained down from the sky.
- Rin Tohsaka: This golden rain caused massive chaos, which led Security Officer Kuchiba and Lancer to us. Thus the "Imagenae Holy Grail War" Special Ops Team was formed.
- Rin Tohsaka: To resolve the energy shortage for my out-of-world journey, we have to recover all the treasure that's been flooding the streets.
- (Trailblazer): Ahem... And, make sure things come to a peaceful conclusion.
- Rin Tohsaka: ...I remember that of course! Consequently, we got in touch with the informant, Ashveil. He might've seemed a bit sketchy, but he dropped a massive bombshell...
- Rin Tohsaka: It turns out that each participating Master-Servant pair received a special treasure... I thought this Holy Grail War felt a bit cobbled together at first, but now we've got ample reason to tear each other down.
- Rin Tohsaka: One silver lining is that an unknown Berserker Master-Servant pair announced their withdrawal, and even handed in their "Tablet of Destinies."
- Rin Tohsaka: And Miss Kuchiba and Lancer received the "King's Vintage"...
- (Trailblazer): ...Which king?
- Rin Tohsaka: Unfortunately... it can only be Gilgamesh.
- Rin Tohsaka: And let's not forget Sparxie and her butterfly Servant...
- Rin Tohsaka: She's been disguising herself as me and stirring up trouble all over town. If anyone's the mastermind here, it's gotta be her!
- Rin Tohsaka: Anyway, it won't be easy, but at least our goal is clear.
- Rin Tohsaka: That's the latest update. Now, let me sense the flow of Wishpower and determine our next target...

- Aggressive Reading Material: Nihilux? Nihilux?
- Aggressive Reading Material: Nihilux, where did you go?
- What do you need from Nihilux?
- Aggressive Reading Material: Chasing the manuscript.
- Aggressive Reading Material: In life, I was Nihilux's greatest nemesis, her editor. And yet, even on the day I died, I never managed to get the manuscript for the latest issue of Fluffy Across the Blue...
- Aggressive Reading Material: Anyway, how on earth is she still alive after all this time? Point is, this lingering regret of mine has been warped by Wishpower into a vengeful wraith, and I'm here to take back everything I've lost!
- Aggressive Reading Material: Question, are you her president?
- Yes, I am.
- No, I'm not.
- What's that got to do with me?
- Aggressive Reading Material: Hey. You just wavered, didn't you.

- Hero's Follower: Esteemed Deliverer! I have a pretty good idea of why you're here, but I'm sorry... I must use the treasure to dispel the curse plaguing my dear friend, Iason...
- Hero's Follower: Iason, Iason... he's been bewitched by the dromases...! He was supposed to be a great hero, not some dromas keeper who nags Heracles all day long...!
- Hero's Follower: This is a betrayal... There's no room for me in his eyes anymore...!
- Maybe he just really likes dromas?
- Why not ask the Chrysos Heirs for help?
- Ooh, there's even a romance subplot.
- Hero's Follower: What... Even the Deliverer is speaking up for that man...?
- Hero's Follower: In that case... don't blame me for breaking my vows...!

- Sparxie's Dog: I'm a failure as a parent and a failure as a child. Who cares? I'm a dog, nothing more than a dog bewitched by your voice.

- This revered Intellitron Godfather appears to be in tremendous agony. Of course, Intellitrons can distinguish and feel pain...
- You notice something lodged in a hidden spot on the Godfather's back, roughly where a human's intervertebral disc would be.
- Let me give you a hand, Mr. Svarog.
- I am the bone of my sword...
- Now is NOT the time for that line. Good heavens, how disappointed Mr. Svarog must be in you!
- Don't be disappointed, Mr. Svarog!
- Let me help you!
- You pulled the peculiar treasure, uncannily reminiscent of a sword sheath, from within Svarog...
- Svarog: ...My apologies, (Trailblazer). Analysis: I appear to have been subjected to some form of... contamination.
- Svarog: Logic: That sword scabbard falling from the sky struck me, fused with my core systems, triggering a "Berserker" state in my cognitive circuits...
- Svarog: Error: Term "Berserker" not found in database. Regardless, your assistance is appreciated. I will continue searching this area for Clara and Hook, to prevent them from being caught up in the "Holy Grail War"...
- Svarog: Error: Term "Holy Grail War" not found in database. *sigh* The treasure's influence appears more severe than calculated.

- (Talk to Magic Familiar)
- Melee Familiar: Wake up! Have you already forgotten our mission!?
- Magic Familiar: Don't worry, bro. Sparxicle hasn't fooled me one bit.
- Magic Familiar: I'm just playing mind games with her. Pretending to be totally enamored and oblivious to right and wrong is part of the plan. I've got my own pacing. It's fine, I'm not getting carried away.
- Melee Familiar: Madam Caster didn't bring us into this world to collect treasures for Sparxicle. We're supposed to destroy her!
- Is this the massive amount of Wishpower you were talking about?
- Wow, what a bombshell reveal.
- Rin Tohsaka: This is the source, but... these two don't look anything like treasures.
- Magic Familiar: Master! It's Master!
- Melee Familiar: Sparxicle...? No, wait, you are...
- Melee Familiar: I can't tell... I really can't tell!
- Rin Tohsaka: Calm down. Tell us what happened here, okay?
- Melee Familiar: We're the first pair of familiars created by Caster... We were granted imagenated life, to root out the mastermind...
- Melee Familiar: But, when we finally found her, we somehow lost the connection to our master...!
- Magic Familiar: That's because we have a new mission: gathering treasures for Sparxicle and putting them right where they belong...
- Magic Familiar: The TV tower, Graphia Academy, the food street, the bottom of the Dovebrook, the ends of the earth... everywhere!
- Rin Tohsaka: This is mind control... But why not just make them hand the treasures over to Sparxie herself?
- Rin Tohsaka: And Caster... Who is this master of yours? Where is she?
- Melee Familiar: Our master...? Madam Caster, of course...
- Magic Familiar: Think again. Who is our master?
- Melee Familiar: Madam Caster...
- Melee Familiar: Madam Caster is... is Sparxicle...?
- Melee Familiar: So... So I've been a Sparxhead all along...!?
- (Enter Battle Preparations)
- Mysterious Familiars: Sparxie Sparxie Sparxie Sparxie Sparxie Sparx...!
- Rin Tohsaka: Why's this Sparxie gotta be so mean...
- (Enemy description)
-
- Caster's Familiars have finally recovered their memories of their true origins... except they've got it all wrong, and it's time to knock some sense into them!
- (Begin battle against
Rocking Rebel ×1, 
Canvas Peacock ×1) -
- Melee Familiar: Thank you, Mama Sparxie! I am finally born!
- Magic Familiar: Happy birthday!
- Rin Tohsaka: Have they completely lost their minds...? Guess there's no choice but to fight!
- (After the battle)
- Resonating with the strange Wishpower entwined around Mysterious Familiars, a certain someone's trail has been detected...!
- Rin Tohsaka: That was a tough fight... This Sparxie is not to be underestimated.
- Did you find any useful clues?
- It's only natural to fall for Sparxie.
- Rin Tohsaka: ...Are you under mind control too!?
- Rin Tohsaka: It is what it is... We have to recover whatever Wishpower is left.
- Rin Tohsaka: I hope your sacrifice won't be in vain. Now, lead us to the true culprit...
- Rin Tohsaka: ...No good. I can sense that Caster and the rest of the treasures are somewhere in Seafeld City, but there's no trace of Sparxie.
- Rin Tohsaka: But on the bright side, this proves what they just said is true: Sparxie doesn't seem to plan on keeping all the treasures for herself...
- Rin Tohsaka: Which is really weird. Why?
- To spread more chaos?
- Rin Tohsaka: So she can take advantage of it? Yes, that's possible.
- To drive traffic?
- Rin Tohsaka: So she can build a following? Yes, that's possible.
- To play Robin Hood?
- Rin Tohsaka: So she can give back to the people of Planarcadia? Yeah, right!
- Rin Tohsaka: Regardless, we should keep collecting the rest of the treasures. A fight with her is inevitable, and we can't let her get the upper hand.
End this day with Rin
- Step DescriptionRunning all over such a huge city, retrieving treasures... Just from feelings alone, this is even more exhausting than dimensional travel.
Having written this much... I'll wrap up the first chapter of this biography with our first long conversation.
- (Talk to Rin Tohsaka)
- "Narrator": You exhausted all sources, recovered a decent amount of treasures, and treated yourselves to a hearty meal at a renowned local eatery. During the meal, you swapped all sorts of travel stories.
- "Narrator": Still in high spirits, you decided to take a stroll.
- Rin Tohsaka: Jeez, we shouldn't have listened to that detective... Saying stuff like, "Drop my name, you'll get a surprise"...
- Rin Tohsaka: Just how much of a tab did he rack up!? If it weren't for the reimbursement, we'd be stuck washing dishes until the end of time.
- Rin Tohsaka: I only wanted to use the Holy Grail to solve my magical energy problem... But I ended up having an incredible journey in another world.
- Rin Tohsaka: Paths, Aeons... If I were born in this universe, which god would cast their gaze upon me?
- Embark on the Trailblaze path with me.
- Rin Tohsaka: Hmm... Indeed a fitting path for a traveler.
- Have you considered the Beauty?
- Rin Tohsaka: Hehe, you're honest.
- Rin Tohsaka: Speaking of which~
- Rin Tohsaka: If you had to pick one crystallization from your past as the most precious one...
- Rin Tohsaka: An Aeon's blessing that best represents you — what would you choose?
- The baseball bat I found on the space station.
- Rin Tohsaka: A baseball bat, huh... It must be packing the unbelievable power of the Trailblaze.
- Rin Tohsaka: Yeah... a home-run-hitting Saber is pretty cool!
- Belobog's flaming lance.
- Rin Tohsaka: A flaming lance... It's epic and contains the power of the Preservation. Certainly is a fitting Noble Phantasm... Could you be a Lancer?
- Xianzhou's jade abacus of allying oath.
- Rin Tohsaka: A token that can summon an intergalactic fleet, or even the Lux Arrow of The Hunt? Unimaginable.
- Rin Tohsaka: Rider sounds pretty cool, but Archer isn't too shabby either... Ah, it's a tough choice.
- The Watchmaker's Hat.
- Rin Tohsaka: A legacy of the Father of Penacony, that has gone through the trials of the Harmony...
- Rin Tohsaka: If we see Penacony as a magecraft battlefield, you might be a Caster. But Assassin is also a possibility, if all that mystery surrounding identity tells me anything...
- Amphoreus's As I've Written.
- Rin Tohsaka: Thirty million cycles of "memories," heroes who chased the flames...
- Rin Tohsaka: Such epic tales would support the birth of all kinds of Noble Phantasms.
- Sounds good. Let's go with this one.
- Rin Tohsaka: No. Way. Your class and Noble Phantasm directly affect our combat strategy, alright?
- I'm a great fit for any class.
- Rin Tohsaka: Sure, but we need to know your strengths and weaknesses. They directly affect our combat strategy, alright?
- So you were trying to figure me out!
- Rin Tohsaka: If we're going to fight side by side, of course I need to know what my partner is capable of, right? That directly affects our combat strategy!
- Try to sense my own abilities...
- "Narrator": Sensing abilities: Failed. You see only a chaotic void within. Its gnarly roots almost ensnare your consciousness. You struggle back to reality.
- Rin Tohsaka: Still no luck, huh? Well, it's not the first time.
- Rin Tohsaka: We have plenty of time. Besides, since you're my Servant, you must be the strongest.
- "Narrator": Quite direct. With absolute confidence and trust, the girl in red gazes intently at you.
- "Narrator": She isn't lying.
- Rin Tohsaka: In return... I'll let you see my secret weapon.
- "Narrator": Vibrant earrings, gorgeous and dazzling. Just like the owner herself.
- Rin Tohsaka: These aren't just jewelry. They are divine gifts...
- Rin Tohsaka: The "Protection of Venus" is a blessed gift from Ishtar, the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of fertility, war, and beauty, and the mistress of Venus.
- It really suits you.
- Rin Tohsaka: ...Th—That's not what I wanted to hear!
- You have a Noble Phantasm too?
- Rin Tohsaka: Well, I guess it counts more as a Conceptual Weapon.
- Rin Tohsaka: Anyway, back to the myth: As long as she agrees, I can power up the Maanna, the Boat of Heaven, and launch Venus out — literal Venus, mind you! — with a "pew-pew-pew"...
- Rin Tohsaka: Back then, she asked me: "Thirsting for power, are we? Hmph, I could let you experience planetary-level destructive force, I suppose. But in exchange, every land you tread upon shall bear my mark, and its people shall become my playthings. What say you?"
- Rin Tohsaka: I was like, "Really!? I'll take that!"
- Rin Tohsaka: And just like that, it was a done deal. Impressive, right?
- You actually signed that ridiculous contract?
- Rin Tohsaka: That's planetary-level destructive force! Wouldn't you want to feel it just once?
- Oh yeah? There's no catch?
- Rin Tohsaka: I know, right? Planetary-level destructive force! Who says no to that?
- Rin Tohsaka: Besides, she's all the way in another universe! Even if we did turn into playthings, she wouldn't have the time to play with us.
- Rin Tohsaka: What really stings is the extra clause. I have to offer her ten gems imbued with ten years' worth of magical energy every time I use it. Does she think I print money?
- What a kind-hearted goddess.
- Rin Tohsaka: Yeah, alright... but she's asking for an exorbitant price. I've actually never used this ultimate move before.
- What a terrifying goddess.
- Rin Tohsaka: Yeah, talk about an exorbitant price. I've actually never used this ultimate move before.
- What a stingy goddess.
- Rin Tohsaka: Yeah, talk about an exorbitant price. I've actually never used this ultimate move before.
- But I thought you just did before?
- Rin Tohsaka: Shh...! I used it without her knowing. Don't let her hear you, or I'll face divine punishment!
- Profiteer!
- Rin Tohsaka: Much as I hate to admit it, she's a lot like me: headstrong and willful. For a benevolent goddess, she sure has a ruthless streak sometimes.
- Rin Tohsaka: According to the tales, Ishtar sent her pet to wreak massive havoc simply because the King of Heroes didn't reply to her on time. That's how the two of them became sworn enemies...
- Rin Tohsaka: So... if she runs into him, a massive battle is bound to break out.
- (Trailblazer): ...
- Leave it to me.
- (Trailblazer): Leave it to me, Master.
- Rin Tohsaka: ...
- Rin Tohsaka: ...Alright. But I'm no helpless girl, and I don't plan on slowing you down.
- Rin Tohsaka: Let's face this together with elegance and grace. Although we're favored by our respective gods, we still have to blaze our own paths, don't we?
- (Rin's connection with Planarcadia has deepened!)
- Sparxie: Everything is going smoothly, my noble King.
- Sparxie: My lovely Sparxheads are out in full force. Soon, you'll have all your treasures back.
- Sparxie: (Trailblazer) and the others will soon head to Seafeld City. Of course, the little thief who stole the key to your vault will be showing her face there, too.
- Sparxie: We can set up an ambush in Seafeld... and wait for them to walk right into our trap, hehe.
- Mysterious Goldy: Hmph. You're surprisingly sharp, little rustic rabbit-head. Not bad for a clown.
- Sparxie: Patience, Sparxie, patience... Once you're back in the Phantasmoon Games, you'll show this egomaniac who the real boss is!
- Sparxie: If you're satisfied... might Your Majesty deign to answer a question, so as to enlighten this humble servant of yours?
- Mysterious Goldy: Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself. A bug should know its place.
- Mysterious Goldy: The only reason I have shown you mercy is because you still have your uses... mongrel.
- Sparxie: Whoa, is that line even allowed on air? No bleeps? Did you buy your way into the cast or something?
- Sparxie: And you call yourself the King of Heroes? How uncivilized... Good thing I'm the bigger person. Since you're but a fumbling guest in our universe, I'll let you get away with it this once.
- Mysterious Goldy: A throat capable of nothing but incessant squawking is better off sliced open.
- Sparxie: Sheesh, I was just thinking out loud!
- Sparxie: I just wanted to know... What's the deal with the culprit who ransacked the vault, that twin-tailed outworlder in red?
- Sparxie: Given how generous and forgiving you are, you probably wouldn't be spitting fire like this had it been some random, petty thief.
- Sparxie: My guess is... you two have history, right?
- Mysterious Goldy: Hmph, what a thoroughly unpleasant question.
- Mysterious Goldy: You wish for my answer? At the very least, you'll have to rip out your tongue and serve as a living sacrifice for the temple's foundation.
- Sparxie: Hah? Ripping out tongues? Do you still do slavery where you come from?
- Sparxie: ...Wait, I guess he does do slavery. Whatever, I'll let it slide.
- Mysterious Goldy: She is the entity I have loathed most since time immemorial. If it weren't for her, I would never have embarked on my journey to the underworld, nor ended up stranded in this sickly world...
- Mysterious Goldy: She stole my most prized possession.
- Sparxie: Even more prized than that big space-rupturing sword of yours?
- Mysterious Goldy: A short-sighted fool can't possibly think she can discuss such matters of prestige with her King.
- Sparxie: Okaaay... What about the tongue? Do you still want it?
- Mysterious Goldy: Tasteless to eat, bothersome to toss out. Keep it for yourself.
- Mysterious Goldy: The main course this time has to be that shameless woman.
- Sparxie: Hmph, big words...
- Sparxie: Whatever you say, your wish is my command. Just wait and see how I make you aliens suffer!
