[k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Dr. Roman It hasn't been long since what happened[sr]to Da Vinci, but we detected another Singularity. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Fou Foou, fooou! [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash I'm sorry for being late, Doctor! I've been having trouble waking up for the past few days[line 3]Oh. [k] [charaFace A 13] ＠Mash Oh, you're here already, Senpai. As a master of REM sleep, I can see you are ready anytime. [k] ？1：Waking up immediately is a special skill I have. [charaFace A 1] ＠Mash I know. I noticed that when I first met you. [k] ＠Mash I still remember how cheerful you were when you woke up that day. That memory is one of my best to date. [k] ？2：Actually, I pulled an all-nighter... [charaFace A 7] ＠Mash That is not good. Chaldea time is now the benchmark in this world. [k] [charaFace A 12] ＠Mash Senpai, staying past 1 in the morning is bad for your body. Even if you get login bonuses at 4. [k] ？！ [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 0] ＠Dr. Roman Mash, I'm glad to see that you're doing great, too.[sr]Well, can I start briefing now? [k] [charaFace A 3] ＠Mash Um...s-sure.[sr]Sorry, Doctor. [k] [charaFace A 7] ＠Mash You were talking about a new Singularity, right? But Doctor, aren't those coordinates the same as Singularity F? [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Dr. Roman It does appear that way on Chaldeas' map, but the temporal axis is different. [k] ＠Dr. Roman This Singularity corresponds to the point 10 years earlier in time than the Singularity F you guys investigated before. [k] ＠Dr. Roman I can't conclude that this is a Holy Grail for certain, but an extremely similar response has been observed. [k] [charaFace A 0] ＠Mash Earlier, huh? But is it really possible that a Holy Grail would manifest at the same point so frequently? [k] [charaFace B 3] ＠Dr. Roman Actually, even I can't explain that. So, I thought I would bring someone who seemed capable of doing it. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.4 1] ＠El-Melloi I see. That's why you called me here. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Zhuge Liang... No,[sr]Lord El-Melloi II! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠El-Melloi Indeed, I am familiar with Fuyuki City in Japan...[sr]Or so I'd like to say. [k] ＠El-Melloi But unfortunately, my knowledge is estranged from the history recorded by Laplace here in Chaldea. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Dr. Roman That's expected. Now that human history has been incinerated, [k] ＠Dr. Roman many different possibilities got mixed in with Chaldeas' observation results. [k] [charaFace B 5] ＠Dr. Roman Perhaps, Chaldeas didn't exist in the history where[sr]Mr. El-Melloi II came from. [k] ＠Dr. Roman Your world and our world... I am not sure which one is the proper history, however... [k] ＠Dr. Roman It is obvious that both worlds are “centered and extremely close to each other.” Otherwise, you wouldn't have been summoned. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠El-Melloi You're talking about the cluster of parallel worlds in the Primary Branch... In other words, Phenomena Permissible for Revision that share the same future despite minor differences... [k] ＠El-Melloi And Phenomena Designated for Removal: the cluster of parallel worlds that would eventually lead to ruin like fallen leaves. [k] ＠El-Melloi Unfortunately, that kind of topic is out of my purview. [k] ＠El-Melloi It's a part of the World that, unless you're one with a Heroic Spirit like me, is hard to understand. [k] ＠El-Melloi Besides, it's not something [%1] must hear, either. [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠El-Melloi So, I'm going to tell you only what I know. This is all just based on the events that occurred in my world, mind you. [k] ＠El-Melloi So. Your records indicate that the first Holy Grail War took place in Fuyuki City of 2004. However... [k] ＠El-Melloi As far as I know, the Holy Grail War has occured five times in Fuyuki City. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFadein C 0.1 0] ＠Mash Five times! That many!? [k] ＠Fou Fooou? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Dr. Roman Hm, I see. So depending on the situation, the Holy Grail War already happened five times already. [k] [charaFace B 2] ＠Dr. Roman [line 3]Wait, five times already!?[sr]A ritual of that scale was performed five times!? [k] ＠Dr. Roman How did they hide it from everybody!? Don't tell me the Holy Grail War is a competitive sport in your world, [k] ＠Dr. Roman and people treat it like the Olympic Games!? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace B 2] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 0] ＠El-Melloi A rather amusing idea, but that's not it, Doctor. [k] ＠El-Melloi In our case, the Mage's Association and the Holy Church colluded to cover everything up. [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Dr. Roman O-Of course they did... Whew, that scared me.[sr]Please continue, Professor. [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠El-Melloi The temporal axis observed this time was not the 2004 where Singularity F was located, but 10 years earlier... The Fourth Holy Grail War. [k] ＠El-Melloi When it comes to my world, it's not a surprise that you could detect a Holy Grail in the past at those coordinates. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] ＠Mash The possibility that a Holy Grail could exist at that era in the past... Indeed, that would be able to give birth to a new Singularity. [k] ＠Mash Could this be a misadjustment on Sheba's part?[sr]I mean, to observe the light of civilization in the past... [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠El-Melloi I personally hope that's the case. [k] ＠El-Melloi Now that human history has been incinerated, it's impossible to observe light on a normal temporal axis. [k] ＠El-Melloi If a light is lit on Chaldeas in its current state, that can only be a Singularity that's removed from the temporal axis. [k] ＠El-Melloi Am I right, Doctor? [k] ＠El-Melloi This is probably a stain that has already been disconnected from human history and will eventually contaminate it. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 2] ＠Dr. Roman Exactly, Professor. No matter what this Singularity actually is, we must retrieve the Holy Grail that exists there. [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠El-Melloi I suppose so. Retrieving or destroying it is the mission given to [%1]. [k] ＠El-Melloi ...However, there is a problem. [k] ＠El-Melloi The main reason why the Holy Grail War was repeated five times in Fuyuki was because the Holy Grail never manifested itself, not even once. [k] ＠El-Melloi Also, due to a certain accident, this ritual has been mutated to a state you can barely call it “ritual” anymore. [k] ＠El-Melloi In conclusion, you mustn't retrieve this Holy Grail. It is a Holy Grail that must not manifest... It's just a poison. [k] ＠El-Melloi While it tempted the participants as a “wish granting device,” in truth, it was merely a device of mass destruction created for the purpose to eliminating the world. [k] ？1：You are really knowledgeable. ？！ ＠El-Melloi Of course, I did my research. Besides, it's my responsibility as a participant... No, I just want to reassure myself. [k] ＠El-Melloi I put in a considerate amount of effort to dismantle Fuyuki's Holy Grail. [k] ＠El-Melloi When it comes to the circumstances surrounding this land, I've left no stone unturned. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Dr. Roman How dependable. From the way you sounded, I guess I don't have to ask you to help us, right? [k] [charaFace D 1] ＠El-Melloi Doctor, you sure are a bad guy. You called me here because you wanted me to help, no? [k] ＠El-Melloi I will join this investigation. I believe I am the best observer, don't you think so? [k] ？1：You'll be a great help. [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] ＠Mash Yes! It'll be very assuring to have all the information about our destination. [k] ？2：You say that, but you really want to go, right? [charaFace D 1] ＠El-Melloi I won't deny that. The Fourth Holy Grail War is a fateful event to me in no small way. [k] ＠El-Melloi And it's about to begin right now.[sr]I'd be lying if I said that I had no interest. [k] ？！ [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Dr. Roman Then it's settled. Get ready for Rayshift now. [k] ＠Dr. Roman The target coordinates are Fuyuki City, Japan, 1994.[sr]Looks like it's gonna be different this time around, too. So watch out! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Fou Fou, fooou!
