＠???
A chance like this comes but once in a lifetime.
[k]

＠???
This astounding ritual devised by the great Lord Abe-no-Seimei is without peer in all of history!
[k]

＠???
Its name: the Imperial Holy Grail War!
[k]

＠???
By your grace, O Fujiwara-no-Michinaga, Minister of the Left, with my own onmyou techniques...
[k]

＠???
...and the assistance of the Onmyou Bureau, this ritual can begin today.
[k]

＠???
Seven Caster Heroic Spirits will be[sr]summoned here from distant lands...
[k]

＠???
...where seven of our fair city's fiercest warriors shall be chosen as these Casters' Masters!
[k]

＠???
All you have to do, Lord Fujiwara-no-Michinaga, is promise the Servant and Master pair to emerge victorious will be showered with riches and granted any wish their hearts desire...
[k]

＠???
...and all seven teams will fight[sr]without restraint or hesitation!
[k]

＠???
And that's not even the best part!
[k]

＠???
By sacrificing the Casters' lives, the city of Kyo's defenses will be strengthened a hundredfold...
[k]

＠???
...leading to a thousand years of peace and prosperity!
[k]

＠???
Truly, an astounding feat! Truly, a miraculous prospect!
[k]

＠???
It is all right here in Lord Seimei's letter. As I said before, O Minister of the Left, a chance like this comes but once in a lifetime.

It's been about seven days or so since the Imperial Palace started this ritual thing in secret, and so far, two of the seven Heroic Spirits summoned here've been killed.

[charaFace C 9]

＠Sakata Kintoki
The Master who managed to kill those two Heroic Spirits was Brother Tsuna.

Even our boss, Lady Raikou,[sr]the current leader of the Genji...

Things might be a little different when you start includin' nonhumans, but even so, there's a reason Raikou said that.

＠Danzo
I agree. After all...
[k]

＠Danzo
While it could be that this Imperial Holy Grail War is simply a variant of the traditional Holy Grail War...
[k]

＠Danzo
...it is odd that there was no mention whatsoever of the Holy Grail in question.
[k]

＠Danzo
That is far too big an error to merely be an oversight.

[charaFace D 4]

We do not yet know what connection, if any, Limbo may have to the living, breathing Douman, but this Grail War itself...
