[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Bedivere This place is the size of a city... I can't believe they were able to build such a vast structure here... [k] [charaFace B 0] @Bedivere This sure looks like an academic institute, all right. They have everything necessary for humans to live their lives. [k] @Bedivere This would help their students keep sound minds.[sr]Even if the sky was artificial. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes That obelisk in the center is the Atlas Institute's greatest recording medium: a Pseudo-Spiritron Calculation Engine dubbed Tri-Hermes. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes Trismegistus in Chaldea was based off it. [k] ?1:That's...the original? @Holmes Indeed. The one sent to Chaldea is merely a copy. [k] @Holmes It is a Photonic Crystal, a Philosopher's Stone. An out-of-place artifact that cannot be created through science in the present world. [k] ?2:Now that you mention it, its construction... [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash That's right! It looks just like Chaldea's Command Room! [k] [charaFace A 12] @Mash Although... most of it is buried in sand now... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ?! [charaFace D 5] @Holmes Now then. We've already acquired the access rights. Normally, we would just ask the staff, but... [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes As you can see, this place is completely uninhabited.[sr]I feel a little sorry, but we'll just have to use it without their permission. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 0] @Mash ...Yes. But I wonder why the staff aren't present? [k] @Mash It may be buried in sand, but all the equipment seems to be operating like normal. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes The answer is obvious. This is Atlas in 2018.[sr]In other words, the one from your time period. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash Atlas from our time!? Now that you mention it, Da Vinci said something like that. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Mash Something about how in Egyptian territory there's a foreign object from yet another era. [k] @Mash It must have been this! [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes I believe so. The mages may have been incinerated, but the Atlas Institute itself didn't vanish. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes ...Now, let's get to the main issue.[sr]Tri-Hermes contains recordings of all events. [k] @Holmes Since we aren't alchemists of Atlas, we wouldn't understand everything it contains, but... [k] @Holmes The simple truth... We should be able to understand the results. Although it would be like looking at a mathematical equation's solution. [k] ?1:What are you checking? [charaFace D 3] @Holmes Ah, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but it's a record that even I couldn't trace. The recording of a certain event, kept secret from all. [k] ?2:Peeping isn't a good hobby, you know? [charaFace D 1] @Holmes Hahahahaha! That's not what I'm doing. I'm only interested in the honest truth! [k] @Holmes I would never do anything so shady! The only thing that excites me is the truth itself, not personal lives! [k] ?! [se ad15] [charaFace D 2] @Holmes Now, Tri-Hermes, soaring bird of the underworld! Answer my question! [k] @Holmes Tell us of a certain incident, erased from all records and descriptions: the Holy Grail War that occurred in Japan in 2004! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash The Holy Grail War!?[sr]Don't tell me you mean Singularity X!? [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash W-Well, the Director did talk of a Holy Grail War held in Singularity X, but... [k] @Mash Are you saying that's the truth behind the Incineration of Humanity... The true origin!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes No, it's not the origin.[sr]But it is an important factor. [k] @Holmes The Holy Grail War. That is a grand ritual, where Heroic Spirits are summoned to fight, in which the last surviving mage and Servant standing obtain the Holy Grail. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes You already know that much.[sr]Right, [&Mr.:Ms.] [%1]? [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes Very well. That ritual did indeed take place.[sr]In 2004, located in a certain city of Japan. [k] @Holmes I checked the records of this war. However, I couldn't figure out what happened during its course, or how it concluded. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Holmes The only traceable data was from when the Holy Grail War started: the identities of the seven mages who sought the Holy Grail. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes Among those seven who participated, one of them was related to someone you know. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes Or to be precise, the daughter of that person. [k] ?1:...Don't tell me it's... ?2:...The previous director of Chaldea? ?! [charaFace D 0] @Holmes That's right. The father of Olga Marie Animusphere, the late director of Chaldea. [k] @Holmes As a Lord of the Clock Tower, he secretly headed to that regional city of Japan, and participated in that bloody ritual. [k] @Holmes His name was... [k] [se ad15] @Holmes ...Hm? An answer already? It's a little sad that it doesn't make sounds while in operation. [k] @Holmes However, I'm glad to see it backs up my hypothesis.[sr]This resolves one of the questions. [k] @Holmes The winner of the 2004 Holy Grail War in Japan was Marisbury Animusphere. [k] @Holmes Hermes recorded that he killed six other mages, and obtained the omnipotent wish granter known as the Holy Grail.

[k] @Mash And that's before the Incineration of Humanity...[sr]Before the Rayshift was carried out? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 0] @Holmes Correct. Records indicate Marisbury brought his assistant along to the Holy Grail War... [k] @Holmes ...and that, having been given special exemption the following year, the assistant was then invited to join the staff of Chaldea. [k] @Holmes He became the top of the medical division in his early twenties, so “special” is the word for it. I'd hesitate to call him a normal person. [k] ?1:...The top of the medical division... ?2:... ?! [charaFace A 0] @Mash ...Do you mean Romani Archaman? [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash Doctor Roman... He knew the former director before coming to Chaldea? [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes Yes. And it gets stranger. The personal history of the man named Romani Archaman is unknown. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Holmes I couldn't find anything about him in records from before the Holy Grail War. I might figure it out if I keep using Hermes, but... [k] @Holmes We don't have the time to salvage data about a single person, out of the billions of personal data files updated yearly. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes But that's the reason why I don't trust Doctor Roman. There's no mistake that he's human, and not a mage, but... [k] @Holmes He's hiding something. Something extraordinarily close to the truth. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Mash ... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sanzang Um... Can I ask something? [k] @Sanzang I know I shouldn't just butt in because I'm tired of being quiet, but... [k] @Sanzang This Marisbury guy obtained the Holy Grail, right? [k] @Sanzang What did he wish for? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes ...Who knows? Unfortunately, Hermes doesn't record personal wishes. [k] @Holmes The only things recorded are results. [k] @Holmes According to Hermes, Marisbury went on to become a great mage. [k] @Holmes To the Clock Tower, Chaldea and the Animusphere family's theories were mostly disregarded. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes However, that assessment was overturned after repeated successes. The establishment of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System. [k] @Holmes Experiments that made it possible to not just observe the future, but also use Rayshifts to intervene in other time periods. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes Chaldea was nothing more than an observatory in 2004, but then gained vast amounts of equipment like any other research facility. [k] @Holmes It's safe to assume that Marisbury wished for fortune. [k] @Holmes He had no reason to wish for the Incineration of Humanity. Reading the documents, he comes off as a man of good sense. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes His desire was ordinary, his envy was ordinary, and his love of happiness was ordinary... That's the type of man he was. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes In that case, he was either used by a third party, or... he stepped into a minefield of destruction, without even noticing it himself. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash A third party... Like Professor Lev? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes Lev Lainur was appointed to Chaldea at the turn of the century. That coincides with the time when the technology to construct the observation lens, Sheba, was provided to Chaldea. [k] @Holmes Lev Lainur was working under the King of Mages.[sr]I have no doubt about that. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Holmes ...To be honest, this causes me the biggest headache. Chaldea caught the eye of Lev, and he infiltrated it. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes In that case, there must have been some issue at Chaldea before the Holy Grail War of 2004. [k] @Holmes That war was just a way for Marisbury to obtain capital. There's a possibility that it wasn't related to the Incineration of Humanity. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Holmes With that in mind... I don't want to say this, but... it would mean this about Romani Archaman: [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes “We don't know what he was doing, but he had no connection to the incident. A simple nuisance, a mystery... Someone who doesn't really matter at all.” [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes ...That's the conclusion that I can draw. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Sanzang What's that supposed to mean!? That's ridiculous! [k] ?1:Sounds just like Roman! ?2:A mystery someone who doesn't matter! ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Yes, that's the Doctor in a nutshell! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes Personally, I still see him as an important person of interest. [k] @Holmes You shouldn't tell him anything that you heard here.[sr]We can't trust him until his secrets are clear. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes At the very least, Romani Archaman knows the conclusion of the Holy Grail War, and never told you. [k] [messageOff] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_5 2.0] [fadeout black 2.0] [wait fade] [wt 1.0] [bgm BGM_EVENT_2 2.0] [fadein black 2.0] [wait fade] @Holmes ...Now, that wraps up the facts that I wanted to know. Next is your turn... But before that. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes As I searched through the records of Chaldea, I found an answer for you, Ms. Kyrielight. [k] [charaFace D 4] @Holmes I'm sorry if this seems like it's just being tacked on, but do you mind if we speak about it? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 0] @Mash An answer for me...? [k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash Oh, do you mean what we talked about on the way here? About the True Name of the Heroic Spirit who transferred their power to me? [k] [charaFace D 1] @Holmes Exactly! I came to a conclusion already, but I had no clear proof, so I spoke ambiguously... [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes But now, I can tell it to you as fact.[sr]Are you prepared to hear this, Ms. Kyrielight? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Bedivere Wait a minute. That's something for Lady Mash to discover for herself. We shouldn't be the ones... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 2] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes No, I must speak my mind! I'm sure everyone has already realized it, anyway! [k] [charaFace B 5] @Holmes Only fools would continue to avert their eyes from the truth. Are you saying that Ms. Kyrielight is a fool? [k] [charaFace B 2] @Holmes I say no! No, Sir Bedivere![sr]And besides, what are you so fearful of? [k] [charaFace B 0] @Holmes That knowing her True Name wouldn't change anything? That it wouldn't help her develop her Noble Phantasm? [k] [charaFace B 5] @Holmes I declare that as an unnecessary concern![sr]Because... [k] [charaFace B 2] @Holmes Mash Kyrielight's spirit is already complete! Her fears don't depend on whether or not she possesses a Noble Phantasm! [k] @Holmes Also! Even if her Noble Phantasm fails to develop, she'll never stop standing up for her beliefs! [k] [charaFace B 5] @Holmes For the sake of what she believes in, she'll muster her courage and fight to the very end!

I unashamedly flew into a rage.[sr]Anyway, do you mind if I speak openly now? [k] @Holmes This fate was bestowed upon you.[sr]The name of the Heroic Spirit who saved your life. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ...Master.[sr]Is this really okay? [k] ?1:Of course. ?2:It's fine, although Roman's not here. ?! [charaFace A 13] @Mash ...Okay. Although I wish it was something a little more special. [k] [charaFace A 7] @Mash Please tell me, Mr. Holmes.[sr]My True Name. The real name of this shield. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Holmes Very well. Then I shall tell you everything, like a true detective would. [k] @Holmes First off, how did Chaldea stabilize their Heroic Spirit summons? [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes ...By being in possession of something that gathers Heroic Spirits. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes A seat where many heroes once gathered.[sr]A rite of vows called the Round Table. [k] @Holmes Chaldea processed that relic, using it as a catalyst for summons, and buried it in the body of a fused being. [k] [charaFace D 5] @Holmes I am sure you can understand this, [&Mr.:Ms.] [%1]... That while the weapon she carries looks like a shield, that's not what it actually is. [k] @Holmes That the first Servant you contracted with is actually the groundwork for gathering many Heroic Spirits. [k] ?1:I had a feeling. ?2:Part is literally a “round shield.” ?! [charaFace D 1] @Holmes Yes, perhaps something of a pun. Something to applaud the Chaldea engineers for. [k] @Holmes The core of her holy round shield is the Round Table itself. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Holmes Now listen well, Ms. Kyrielight. [k] @Holmes The second Heroic Spirit summoned when you were young... The only successful result of Chaldea's Heroic Spirit fusion experiment... [k] @Holmes The hero who lamented the inhumane experiments of Chaldea, but stayed in the present world to preserve your life...
