The Grail War continues, and it seems that no amount of distance from Fuyuki City will stop that.You are Shinji Makiri, Ten years ago you suddenly found yourself with the memories of a complete past life that saw this world as a fictional story due to some unprecedented form of inter-dimensional transportation. Since that day, your new composite being has been working to change the grim future laid out for you.To that end, you have done much, involving yourself with events and situations that have shifted the future away from the one that you once would have faced and instead onto one of uncertainty and chaos.The Fifth Holy Grail War lies ahead of you, and the challenge and danger it represents to you, the people you care for and the world itself is far greater than you could have ever predicted. Though the grail might be corrupted and the war itself might be a sham, the stakes couldn't be higher.Archive of Paradox Reincarnator: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Fate/Paradox%20ReincarnatorGeneral Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=WhatIsAQMStatus Menu: https://pastebin.com/LhUfnHD2Shinji Status Page: https://pastebin.com/UNxStSSQMy Twitter: https://twitter.com/WhatIsAQMLast Thread: >>4636569
"I'm thinking of maybe interrogating the two of them before anything else, then maybe giving them the opportunity to join me, depending on what they say. Now... Miho, your Servant has surrendered to me, are you going to follow suit, or are you going to be staying in the bubble?" It's something of a bluff, you can't keep that orb of energy going forever, and if you tried you'd end up running out of all your magical energy. Seeing as you just got attacked by a Servant and her Master in the daytime, you can safely assume that night in Misaki Town might be even worse.The Half-Oni inside the orb has completely reverted to her human form and looks downright miserable "Yes, damn it." You allow the element of truth to dissipate, no longer keeping it in the world through your own power. She lands flat on her back and just groans instead of trying to get up."So. First off, this bounty on me, who set it... which of the organizers? Kirei or the hooded girl?" You want to know whether or not it's Ciel or the damn fake priest you've got to blame for this. Ciel shouldn't be immortal anymore now that you've erased the existence of Roa from reality itself... you think. You hope she realizes that before she does something stupid and dies for real."Uhm... Well, we were all given a notice of summons to the construction site of the old Fuyuki Church that's being repaired, but only three groups ended up showing up, Rider and her Master, Lancer alone, and Ibaraki and myself. Rider's Master just laughed at Kotomine-san for a while before leaving with his Servant, Lancer didn't say anything and ended up leaving after Kotomine-san had finished, and it really felt like only me and Berserker were serious about getting the extra command spells. Well, we didn't want to pass up on the opportunity to win the war... especially when it was an opportunity to get rid of the... uh... the biggest cheater in the war, and Berserker wanted to get rid of you for... personal reasons." Probably something to do with the disappearance of Shuten.You laugh out loud. "Wow. Right, let's clarify a few things on my end. First off, Assassin chose to join my faction and seemed to be comfortable when she was still... active." You feel a little bit awkward about just how quickly you managed to lose Shuten to the girl underneath the temple, and kind of guilty too."Hey... what do you mean by 'active'?" You hear the Oni laying on the floor groan in pain as her favorite topic of conversation is brought up.
"I mean that the true enemy, of everyone fighting in the war and of the world itself are the two girls underneath the temple in Fuyuki, two girls with connections to the Root and each and every Servant from the last grail war under their control. On the night of Shuten's disappearance, I attacked her temple, unaware of what lied beneath. As a result, the majority of my allies were captured by the girls, and right now, I'm still trying to think of a way to defeat her. They are limited by their magical energy, so it should be possible to overwhelm the two of them through enough force, so long as you don't get blindsided. The girl I believe is responsible for the second set of Servants for some reason, but I don't know why. In addition, thanks to the events of the Third Grail War, the Greater Grail has become infected with the essence of a God of Evil, which will twist any wish made on the grail to be one that causes the most suffering." The oni on the floor looks kind of... close to tears as you explain the uselessness of the grail. "A wish to bring about world peace would bring a world without war about through eradicating all humanity but one family, as an example.""But... that... that's horrible! Why is the war still being fought then?" Miho is clearly starting to recover from her nausea now, but you can tell that she doesn't want to fight you anymore. The very fact that you defeated her and her Servant so completely but didn't kill her has gone a long way to secure her trust. "So... there's no wish at the end of all this?""No. There never was a wish, and the reason for the continuation of the war is magus greed and stupidity. Mostly on the part of the Einzbern Family of magi, or well, the golem that currently heads the family. The homunculi aren't aware of the corruption of the grail." "Never... was a wish?" Miho chooses to focus on the most shocking part of your sentence, and you decide to elaborate a little for the girl."The Grail, as it exists, isn't actually a holy artifact that grants wishes, and while it can be used to grant some 'wishes', they aren't 'true' wishes at all. At its core, the grail is just a container for the magical energy of slain Servants, and while it can use that magical energy to bring about a variety of effects, the true purpose of a grail war is for the Master to betray their Servant at the end of the war in order to gather enough magical energy to open a pathway to the Root." It's the perfect plan! That only fails every single time somebody attempts it without fail."Of course. As if magi would really be interested in anything else." Arcueid states from behind you, her opinion on magi isn't good it seems, though it's not inaccurate at all. Most magi would sacrifice their entire family in order to get a shot at the Root. They are truly obsessed with it.
You hear a sigh from Ibaraki as she looks up at the ceiling. "So... it was all for nothing. There never was an actual chance of fulfilling my wish? Ha... Well, I suppose that's just my luck, at least Shuten... isn't dead." Ibaraki sounds terribly miserable as the words sink in. "There's one more thing I need to ask you... you weren't working with Assassin's master, were you?" You need to know if they were actually working with that old worm bastard personally, though somehow, you doubt either of the two girls here would even consider working with Zouken. They just aren't the type."What? No, we never even met them. Assassin didn't seem to be in any sort of a hurry to introduce him, and he never showed himself personally. I was just sort of... forced to go along with what Berserker wanted to do... and Berserker wanted to do what Assassin told her to do." That sounds... awfully plausible. "Then Berserker kind of became a little obsessed with you after Shuten disappeared. Your scent was all over the place she was supposed to meet Assassin." These two Oni are actually kind of bumbling idiots, aren't they? You think you'd feel bad if you killed them, it would be like drowning a sack of dumb puppies.>Help Miho to her feet and ask if she wants to help you save the world.>Help Miho to her feet and ask if she wants to right her wrongs.>Tell Miho that you don't trust her enough the let her become a member of your faction, but you aren't going to kill her or Berserker.>Ask Miho what her wish for the grail was before deciding whether or not you want her help.>Write-in...

>>4642441What are you testing.
>>4642442my image posts are not appearing on some boards for some reason
>>4642449Understandable, have a good day.Anyway, calling in like... I don't know... 18 minutes?
>>4642454I think Arc is speedrunning Shinji route.
>>4642459It's going pretty good for so far, in my opinion.
>>4642423Are you sure that you want to use your power that you can hardly control to effectively rewrite somebody's mind?Arcueid's mind, at that?
>>4642465Yeah thats retarded, at least for now.
>>4642465What could possibly go wrong?
>>4642488I certainly can't think of anything.
>>4642474Good thing we're a bunch of retards then.
>>4642462I don't know, she could learn a thing or two from Shiki.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3-Uo_3KeQo
"Alright, well first off, I want to know what your wishes are, I need to know just what sort of people the two of you are, and just what it is that could drive you to try to kill other people in a battle royale. Mostly you, Miho, but I'd also like to know just what it is that you seek, Ibaraki." You decide that before anything else, you're going to get these Oni to tell you just what they want. Just what could drive them to kill... though they are Oni, so the killing of humans should come as something natural to them. It seems that Miho is quite a bit more meek when she's not calling upon the power of her blood. Or at least appears to be that way."My wish..." Miho sighs. "It was to bring back somebody precious to me that I... I lost when I was just a child." The girl seems to be slowly coming to the terms that her wish will be impossible, and honestly, even the non-corrupted grail likely wouldn't be able to truly bring somebody back from the dead. At best it would be able to create a false version of the person from your memories, a trick form of life composed solely of your memories of what they were like, a happy lie. The only true way to ensure you could replicate somebody perfectly would be through having a complete copy of their structure stored as a blue-print, and even then it would simply be a perfect copy, and not the real thing. "I've been alone for so long... that I just wanted to see her face again...""I'm sorry." Is all you say. There's not really much you can say or offer to the girl. Her story is quite sad, but you can't really do anything about it."Don't be like that... Under-... Master... I'm here with you aren't I? You're not alone anymore." The other Oni on the floor tries to reassure her master, and your attention shifts to the horned girl laying there. "My wish... it's stupid, but..." Ibaraki pauses and seems to decide not to say her next few words. Deciding against revealing just what she wants, and you begin to try to recall what the Oni's wish was, it's been years and years, but you think it was something to do with Shuten being happy? You keep staring at Ibaraki as you try to think of what she might be fighting for, and the girl, completely misreading the situation, loses her temper. "Fine! You want to know what I wanted? I wanted to go back and stop Shuten from getting herself killed! I wanted to prevent the downfall of the Oni, I wanted to destroy the Minamoto before they could destroy us!" Ibaraki blurts out a wish that you weren't really expecting her to have. You're left speechless at the words of the Oni.
"Berserker... is that... really what you were fighting for?" Miho sounds shocked by just what Ibaraki was looking to do with the grail. Of course, while it does sort of cover the whole 'making Shuten happy' thing, it's still a far larger wish than you were expecting her to have. A wish that may have just caused Oni in Japan to never truly die out as a direct result of it. If that wish was actually made, it would've ended up completely rewriting a portion of Japan's history. The lack of Minamoto no Raikou would mean that any attempt to assault the Oni would be met with disaster, the Four Heavenly Kings alone would not be able to overcome the Oni without their leader to battle Shuten, and the tale would've had a very different ending and moral. "I told you it's stupid." Ibaraki huffs. Seems like she feels some shame about the idea of effectively cheating to rid herself of an opponent she doesn't herself have a hope of defeating. You feel sorry for her, but again, such a wish is kind of a ridiculous one in the first place. Especially when she's already had her reunion with Shuten, seems that Ibaraki simply doesn't want her reunion to have to end, so she'd be willing to effectively erase the person she ended up being."I don't think that's a stupid wish at all, Berserker... I think that it's a..." Miho seems to be relieved at the strange innocence behind Ibaraki's destructive and callous wish. It's not a wish born of a want for revenge against the Minamoto, but it's a wish born simply out of nostalgia for, as Ibaraki would see it, the best times of her life."Look, can you two do this a bit later?" Arcueid interrupts the two having a heartfelt exchange. "I think Shinji has some more questions for the two of you, so..." Arcueid obviously doesn't care much for the two Oni's wishes, the True Ancestor not really showing much empathy at all for the two girls."Um... Right, thank you, Arcueid. I would ask you if you would be willing to make amends so I can help you accomplish those wishes, but... I think that your wish is perhaps out of my power, Ibaraki." Even if you could fulfill such a wish, you wouldn't anyway. It's one which could have disastrous consequences to the country of Japan. "As for your wish Miho... I am... uncertain.""Huh?" Miho looks at you in surprise, and you offer her a hand to get up, which she takes.
"I have yet to master my abilities, but I think that it ought to be possible to do something like bring the dead back to life were I to actually properly be able to control them." Hell, you erased Roa from the Root itself when you had a backdoor into it, who's to say that you couldn't do the inverse if the opportunity arose? Never mind the fact that Zelretch exists, and bringing somebody back to life for him is as simple as grabbing them from an alternative timeline or the past. "As for Shuten, I am of course doing everything in my power to retrieve her from the girl under the grail, I assure you that I will get her back, Ibaraki." "You better..." Ibaraki's words are clearly meant as something of a threat to you, which is ended the moment she catches sight of Arcueid's threatening smile "...please?" The demon's demand turns into a bizarre request out of a genuine and true fear for the True Ancestor. An opponent that even herself and Shuten fighting together wouldn't be able to defeat, one who could obliterate all three of the Oni without even trying in the time it takes their blood to fall to the ground if she was actually fighting without holding back. Arcueid Brunestud has strength that almost no monster could ever hope to match.."I will. I do want to ask though, Miho. Are you OK with fighting alongside Berserker even after finding out the grail is useless? Will you fight alongside me to save the world?" You know, that line really does sound unbelievably corny whenever you use it. It's so damn cliche. "What sort of a question is that? What sort of a person would I be if I said no?" Miho almost sounds offended by the idea of you even having to ask her. "I'm going to fight with my Master until the end. I made her that promise when she summoned me, and Oni aren't the sort to go back on promises." Ibaraki finally finds the energy to pick herself off the floor, and she eyes the True Ancestor warily."Well, that's good. Now then, disable this Noble Phantasm, and let's go have the two of you apologize to all of the people who got caught up in this." You cross your arms sternly, and the two girls wince. The deactivation of Ibaraki's Noble Phantasm reverses all the damage dealt to the interior of the mansion as it once again takes on the previous appearance it had, and you're forced to take the hallway back to the meeting room instead of simply walking through the holes in the walls.
As you walk out of the room you were in you see quite literally the last person on the planet you ever expected to see again leaning against the wall of the corridor, garbed in a loose blue kimono. His somewhat long hair a light brown and his eyes a bright blue, even his skin seems to be less pale than the last time you saw him, and you freeze, just as Arcueid does. SHIKI?!"Not quite the reaction I was expecting to receive from the two who saved me." The true son of the Tohno frowns at your shock. "SHIKI? is that you?" You look at the boy, unable to hide the surprise on your face at the appearance of the boy. He didn't die when Roa did... and his Inversion Impulse was reversed too?! How?! Arcueid is eyeing the previous host of Roa with suspicion, prepared to strike him down at any moment. "Woah! Wait a second, hold on there! There's no need to rip my body apart again, that vampire is gone now." You still don't trust SHIKI just because Roa is gone. "So is the Inversion Impulse. Looks like when you got rid of that thing in my head, something happened to my body. I... found my wounds being healed without even doing anything about it myself, almost as if they were being reversed by the world itself." Oh... well, that can't be good. "I felt something trying to... irritate the demon blood again a few minutes ago, but nothing ended up happening." SHIKI muses for a moment."Then... does Akiha know?" You question the boy, who doesn't seem that bothered about you knowing so much about him. After witnessing your abilities first hand, he's looking at you like you're some sort of mythical existence, some sort of wish-granting God. It's actually kind of unnerving you.SHIKI shrugs "I've yet to tell her. I'm thinking of leaving Misaki Town for a while, I need to get my thoughts in order, it's been so long since I've been in control of them, and I don't want to risk lashing out at her or Shiki.">Ask SHIKI to come with you to Akiha.>Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to Fuyuki>Tell SHIKI that you think it would be for the best if he were to leave town.>Tell SHIKI to do whatever he wants.>Write-in...
>>4642607Ask SHIKI to come with you to Akiha.>Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to Fuyuki
>>4642607>>Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to FuyukiProbably best if he comes with us honestly. I don't really think he has a place after what his inversion and Roa would make him do. This is a nice surprise though, WhatIs.
>>4642607>Ask SHIKI to come with you to Akiha.>Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to FuyukiPlease tell me SHIKI isn't joining the Shinji bowl.
>>4642616>Please tell me SHIKI isn't joining the Shinji bowl.Too late, we already have Lugh and that opened the floodgates.
>>4642607>>Ask SHIKI to come with you to Akiha.>>Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to Fuyuki
>>4642607>Ask SHIKI to come with you to Akiha.>Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to FuyukiGuess we are responsible for this.
We need to keep all-caps SHIKI around, we have too many love interests and need to start matchmaking them with other guys before things get even more out o f hand.
>>4642629too late
>>4642607>Ask SHIKI to come with you to Akiha.>Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to Fuyuki.
>>4642617Sorry, I couldn't stop myself.
>>4642640+1
>>4642641Top tier, anon. Good work.
20 minutes till call.Did you like the surprise?If you went alone, he would've ended up helping you and Kouma against the Oni, though the fight would've been much harder as you wouldn't have been able to just steamroll Ibaraki with Arc.
>>4642641more of us should've expected this outcome, we technically didn't kill SHIKI, we erased Roa from existence
>>4642648ah shit, we should've done that, that would've been kino
>>4642655On the brightside Sakura and Arcueid got to feel useful.
>>4642660I feel bad for Ibaraki. She got bitchslapped through a wall and then sat on.
>>4642660We've been relying on arc ever since we met her. Not that im complaining since she's best girl.
>>4642672Don't worry, soon enough she will start to call Arc mommy.
>>4642672thats what you get from being dumb enough to think this plan was in any way a good idea.fucking dumb berserkers.>>4642648Yes.
>>4642640+1dude needs to tell his sister before fucking off.
>>4642697Also add to this >Ask SHIKI if he wants to come with you to Fuyukiif the vote still count.
>>4642601So this banana qualifies as a piece of Taira no Kagekiyo
>>4642648Yes. Honestly weren’t expecting him to stitch himself together, but it’s a welcome bit of news.>>4642607I know I’m late but I’m with the consensus of talking to Akiha and inviting him to join our crew.
>>4642629Good idea. Our party is getting too damn fishy if you know what I mean.Too much eestrogen. Too many alpha bitches, and Sakura, all with the same plan.
>>4642732>Shinji invites SHIKI along in hopes he would take some heat off his person>ends up with >>4642641 insteadOn a more serious note though, we should stop by Shiki as well and check on him.
>>4642713>So this banana qualifies as a piece of Taira no KagekiyoNah, that requires a wish of revenge against the minamoto. >It's not a wish born of a want for revenge against the Minamoto, but it's a wish born simply out of nostalgia for, as Ibaraki would see it, the best times of her life.
>>4642742Yeah, we didn't make the best first impression with him and sorta doomed him out of three of his route prospects. The least we can do is help him reach his full potential...then again, maybe we should leave him to find his own path so our "rival" can find his own path. He's the student of our teachers sister after all. Hmmm hmmmm, what's more thematically fitting!
"You know, I think the least you ought to do is explain things to Akiha before you leave, SHIKI. Oh right, and also, why don't you come with me back to Fuyuki City? There's going to be a lot of danger there, but I feel like you might be able to help out, especially if what I think happened actually happened.""What are you talking about?" SHIKI doesn't seem to be following along.You put a hand on your chin. "You said that it felt like your wounds were reversed by the world itself, didn't you? That it wasn't a result of your own power that you're here right now." It couldn't possibly be the same sort of thing Ciel has, could it? "I... did." SHIKI doesn't seem to understand just what you're getting at for a moment, but if you're right about what happened to the boy, then you may have just done something completely unintended."Well, could you try just giving yourself a minor cut for a moment, and try not to regenerate it by yourself." You instruct the boy, you just want to make sure you're right before you say anything."Uh. Alright." SHIKI is quite different in personality now that his inversion is no longer plaguing his mind, he's able to clearly think and act as a human once again for the first time in nearly a decade. SHIKI doesn't actually use any sort of knife in order to cut himself, and instead relies upon his power as a Mixed-Blood to give himself a small wound on his index finger.The wound is gone just ten seconds after he caused it, and he looks at it in confusion, so you decide to explain. "Well, it seems to me like you've become something of a true immortal. You won't age, any wound you take will be reversed, and even the act of dying will be rapidly reversed by the planet itself." It's ridiculous that something like this ended up happening, but given the circumstances, this will probably end up being useful to you."But... why?" SHIKI doesn't really seem to understand you very well, it seems like he didn't inherit any of Roa's magical knowledge before you erased the vampire from the Root. Ah well, you can't have it all. Though when you think about it, if Ciel inherited all of Roa's magical knowledge, shouldn't she be capable of manifesting a Reality Marble? She should at least know all the mechanics behind the creation of one, even if Roa's own Marble is unavailable to her for some reason. Thank goodness Ciel doesn't want to use her magecraft...
>>4642764We should at least heal his unhealable wound.
"It's actually probably my fault..." The way you killed Roa, if the world won't allow either Ciel or as things now appear SHIKI to die until the Dead Apostle known as Roa meets his death, then of course this was the only possible result! Two people who have immortality that will only end with the death of something that doesn't exist. "Because of that vampire, when I erased him, it had a strange effect on the world. The world right now considers your existence linked to the death of non-existence." It's a bizarre thing to say to somebody, that they are now almost completely immortal thanks to you. In fact, the superiority of the concept of 'only dying when non-existence dies' may actually make it so both Ciel and SHIKI are immune to even the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Probably best if Shiki doesn't look at either of them now, you don't know how they'll look to those eyes. "Now that's out of the way, let's go see Akiha, shall we? I'll vouch for you if you need it." You know that Akiha never forgave her brother for what he did to Shiki, and also wants to keep SHIKI's existence a secret from Shiki in order to prevent him from having to relive the pain of knowing he's the last survivor of the Nanaya clan of Demon Hunters or when his childhood best friend became a monster and attempted to kill both him and Akiha, but she shouldn't be capable of holding a grudge against an uninverted version of SHIKI, right? "You can't just run from your problems. I know that better than most people.""I... I don't know if she'll accept me after what I did back when I was inverted... but you're right. I can't just run away from her after what happened. I need to talk to her... and Kohaku." His face takes on a cold glaze as he mentions the name of the maid, and there's a tone of anguish in his voice as he recalls just what he's been responsible for as a result of everything going poorly for him. Roa, his Oni-blood and even Kohaku's brainwashing attempts through drugging him. "Let's go. I have... a few apologies I need to make." SHIKI looks downright miserable. "It's the least I could do after everything that happened, then I guess I'll go with you." Seems that SHIKI doesn't want to stay in Misaki town, not that you can really blame him.
Your group, now one person larger, walks back towards the meeting hall, and upon entering, you see Satsuki and Sakura chatting with each other while Touko has a hand on the forehead of one of the Branch-members, clearly using some sort of memory alteration on them, looks like she's just about done, with the only person left to be hypnotized being Akiha herself. A quick glance about the room also lets you see two unconscious maid twins that have been placed into a corner, clearly drawn to the commotion of the battle and hypnotized as a result. You're going to need to introduce everyone, but first you're going to need to decide whether or not you should let Akiha get her memories altered.>Let Akiha be hypnotized, the sooner this whole sordid attack is forgotten, the better.>Stop Touko from removing the events from Akiha's mind and instead ask for her to be woken up.>Stop Touko from removing the events from Akiha's mind and ask if Kouma came back.>Write-in...
>>4642794>>Stop Touko from removing the events from Akiha's mind and instead ask for her to be woken up.If Akiha gets her memory wiped, it'll be harder to explain shit. Also, she's trustworthy. Shiki and Akiha are probably the two we should let remember this shit, especially since we're going to do business with them in the future.
>>4642794>>Stop Touko from removing the events from Akiha's mind and instead ask for her to be woken up.
>>4642794Great, now ciel and SHIKI have hourai elixir-tier immortality.I'm not sure how to feel about this.>Stop Touko from removing the events from Akiha's mind and instead ask for her to be woken up.>ask about Kishima
>>4642797Our new friend is our new meat shield
>>4642794>Stop Touko from removing the events from Akiha's mind and instead ask for her to be woken up.
>>4642794>Stop Touko from removing the events from Akiha's mind and instead ask for her to be woken up.Deleting Akiha's memory seems like a top tier bad idea.>>4642797Considering Truth seems to overwrite everything, it shouldn't be impossible to correct it.
Trying to ally with Ciel has gotten way harder now, she won't believe Roa is [REDACTED] now since she still has her immortality
>>4642817She should has second set of memories now just like Arcueid has now.With Roa being [EXPUNGED] from all possible records she has no other option than to listen to us.
>>4642817Didn't Arc end up with two sets of memories, one with Roa and one without? If Ciel ends up like that, it might not be too hard to convince her.
>>4642817Considering the fact that the only people who remember Roa at all are the ones who have had a strong connection with him I think she will notice that everyone except her have forgotten about him.
>>4642824Imagine the sheer mindfuck she must be imagining right about now, geez.
>>4642829Well shit, it seems my brain blue screened.
>>4642829Meeting Ciel in local psycho ward and showing her drawning of Roa. Everyone else except for us, Arc, SHIKI and her just see a blank page.Nyarly will probably die from laughter.
>>4642836>>4642829The Lovecraftian elements are slowly becoming more prevalent
I wonder if there will be any more unintended effects...Calling in 19 minutes.
>>4642840we need to headpat her while explaining what happened and telling her that everything will be ok.
>>4642840>I wonder if there will be any more unintended effects...I know one. We're going to fucking toss Kirei out a window for putting a hit on us. Also, based Alan for laughing at his ass.
>>4642862That makes me wonder, what kind of concept would be the worst for Kirei. Empathy?
>>4642887i feel like he would be glad if we could make him feel, remember that he did try being a good person it just did nothing to him.
>>4642900Or it could take away even the joy he feels in the suffering of others, cursing him with a completely joyless existence.Well, except for mapu tofu.
>>4642887>>4642900We don't need to fuck with concepts to make Kirei a good person. We just have to convince him to open a Mapo Tofu shop and he will literally be happy and content for life.
>>4642900Kirei spent years feeding children to Gilgamesh.I have no desire to make him happier.If anything we should tell Rin everything we know about him and let her handle him however she sees fit.
>>4642900My hope is that he would just kill himself due to all of the shit he did. But yeah, no world is ready for good Kirei.
>>4642907she might get mad at us since we know he killed her father and just didn't tell her, it was for a good reason but still
>>4642907I was just telling the other guy how he would feel, i also have no desire for this.
>>4642906The kirei from miyu universe never really had that talks with gilgamesh, so there is some differences.
>I guess I really was the Paradox Reincarnator all along.
>>4642918kek
>>4642918Lol. That's some "Half-Blood Prince" tier naming.
>>4642918
>>4642918>>4642936>You dare use my own magecraft against me?! I am the /qst - Fate/Paradox Reincarnator!Also, immortal SHIKI hype.
"Um, Shishou. Would you mind... not erasing the memories of Miss Tohno? She has the right to know what happened here today." You make your request of your teacher quite politely. "I also think it might be easier if she knew some of the truth about me." You really can't be bothered to keep trying to hide your secrets from Akiha, especially not now that you've already achieved everything you set out to do."Hmm? Oh, of course, Wakame-kun... I take it that you've successfully managed to convince your attackers to come to your side... and...?" Touko takes note of the arrival of SHIKI. The appearance of the boy seems to intrigue Touko far more than it has any right to."This is SHIKI Tohno. You might remember him from last night. He's the biological brother of Akiha over there." You point at the girl sleeping in a chair. "And could you wake her up too? I need her to be awake for her brother to talk to, they've got quite a lot to talk about."Oh... right, I do remember seeing somebody like him. So, he's free of the Dead Apostle Ancestor's corruption now?" Touko muses, still quite interested in the boy who you granted an ultimate form of immortality to entirely by accident. "That's right. He's also completely immortal now." You say with a cheerful smile. "There's not a force on this planet that could kill him now, not even Shiki's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, I'd wager." Touko's eyes widen slightly at your theory of a being on the same level of immortality as an Ultimate One, one with no concept of death whatsoever. SHIKI looks kind of nervous being spoken about like he's some sort of bizarre artifact that belongs in a museum. Though he doesn't really seem to be that bothered by it. "Also, I need at least somebody for these two pests to properly apologize to." You gesture at the two Oni girls, Miho is hanging her head while Ibaraki, in an attempt not to look out of place, follows the actions of her master. You... You really hope that she's looking where she's going. Those two horns are no joke! You're probably going to need to take responsibility for the actions of the girls, but thankfully, it seems that thanks to Satsuki, Sakura and Touko's efforts, nobody ended up getting hurt. Well, except maybe Kouma, but he probably decided to leave when he saw that the battle was done. You'll be seeing him again, of that you have absolutely no doubt.
Touko seems to want to ask a question or two about the apparent immortality of this new friend of yours, but instead decides it might be better to discuss such things with you in private... It's probably for the best anyway. You don't feel like this is the best setting for a prolonged discussion about the immortality you just bestowed on the boy, and while in truth it was a group effort between yourself and Roa, one of the parties involved in the 'group effort' doesn't exist, so looks like it's actually all on you. Even if you can't replicate it by yourself and you needed the incredibly specific circumstances of Roa's reincarnation magecraft. Instead of questioning SHIKI, Touko walks over to Akiha after finishing rewriting the memories of the last of the branch family members and wakes her up by prodding her in the middle of the forehead. The girl wakes up in a fit of coughs. "Are you OK, Miss Tohno? You had... something of a close call thanks to your mixed-blood. My allies and I managed to reverse the state and have already taken the liberty to erase these events from the minds of everyone else here." She looks at you for a moment and blinks a few times."Wait a minute... I remember you now! The boy from the hospital! That was you, wasn't it?" Akiha finally seems to recognize you, and you remain calm, ready to counter any ridiculous argument or theory she might have to throw at you, but instead, the girl smiles for just a moment. "I never got the chance to thank you for trying to help me back there, did I?" Unexpectedly, she's not mad... at you. "But you two..." The girl growls as she gets up from her sitting position and walks straight over to the two Oni-girls, she seems to be completely ignoring the presence of SHIKI in the room for now, has she not noticed him? "What the hell do you think you're doing forcing people to become Crimson Red Vermillion?! Don't you understand what that does to a mixed-blood human!? I might not have been able to turn back!" Miho flinches back at Akiha, convinced that the much weaker girl is going to somehow hurt her. Ibaraki is also frowning, though it's less pronounced. It's quite clear that the girl doesn't like being shouted at, but she also very clearly fears Arcueid too much to speak up for herself.Miho unexpectedly drops to the ground, and then presses her head against the floor. Prostrating herself to Akiha. "I apologize for my careless actions. I was under the impression that your blood worked under the same principles as my own and Ibaraki's. Please accept my apologies for my wrongful actions against you and your kin." Miho then nudges Ibaraki with an elbow, and the Oni quickly follows her Master's lead after being reminded, puncturing the floor with her horns and not even noticing.
"I'll take responsibility for the actions of these two idiots, and if you need any compensation, I'll be happy to pay out of my own pocket to reimburse you." Seeing these two bumbling morons try to apologize is kind of amusing, actually, but you can't leave them to flounder forever. Akiha frowns for a moment before she maintains a calm on her face. "I'll accept your apologies, seeing as you clearly didn't know any better, and if your actual targets are willing to forgive you, then It's only right I also do so." Suddenly she blinks in confusion. "Something is... strange with my connection to Shiki? He's... overflowing with energy?" That of all things seems to have completely taken Akiha off guard, and it's at that moment that SHIKI finally gets bored of not being noticed."Hello again, Akiha." He smiles happily as he finally looks upon his sister with an uncorrupted mind again. Akiha takes a step backwards in surprise, for as much as you weren't expecting to see the uninverted SHIKI show his face to you, Akiha is currently witnessing something she likely thought would never have been possible.>Leave SHIKI to talk to Akiha alone. What could go wrong?>Watch, but remain silent.>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.>Get involved and support SHIKI as much as you can.>Write-in..
>>4642980>>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.
>>4642982Support
>>4642980>>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.>tell akiha that her brother is so fucking immortal that he may survive gaia dying jk
>>4642980>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.Come on SHIKI, I believe in you.
>>4642980>>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.>>4642956It seems we accidentally a Jack Harkness.
>>4642980>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.
>>4642980>>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.Moral support right? Cause this motherfucker is as immortal as you can get in Nasuverse
18 minutes till call>>4643005>Moral support right?Well, it's not like immortality = winning every fight.>Cause this motherfucker is as immortal as you can get in NasuverseYep. Under normal circumstances, Ciel (and hypothetically SHIKI) would've had damage done to them reverted by Gaia trying to resolve an issue, so at their longest would live until around the time of Notes. You sort of moved them up in the chain a little by affixing their existences to an anomaly in the Root itself. Oops!How did I fuck up responding to a post TWICE?
>>4643021Great, so Notes happening is a certainty now!
>>4643029I didn't say that.
>>4643025well 3rd time's the charm>Well, it's not like immortality = winning every fight.Well its more of a safety issue i guess, he was already pretty strong as is and she's scared and cares about him>so at their longest would live until around the time of NotesHow the fuck did we guarantee someone life for THAT LONG wtf
>>4642980>Watch, but only step in to defend SHIKI if he needs it.I wonder if kohaku is gonna snap once she finds out her entire revenge plan is ruined.
>>4643037She can kill SHIKI a little if it makes her feel better.
>>4643036>How the fuck did we guarantee someone life for THAT LONG wtfOh no that's how long Ciel would've normally lived with just Gaia forcing her to live forever thanks to Roa's continued reincarnating. She'll live till Heat Death now.
>>4643043I kinda feel bad now, guess she's gonna be good friends with Arc and SHIKI now
>>4643037well its a dumb revenge plan, Makihisa is dead and we're taking SHIKI with us, she can be buddy buddy with Shiki if she wants
>>4643043It's kind of amusing how by erasing one person we didn't want to reincarnate we inadvertently created two more immortals of a much more potent variety.
The face she wouldn't see again.
>>4643051ironic, Roa almost got it right, but apparently you need a human sacrifice to do it
>>4643054Really, it seems like Truth+Root connection is the key to the most potent effects we can access, which makes sense as Gaia resisting our changes is the primary limitation of Truth magic.We should keep this experience in mind when we encounter more such connections in the future, as the chance to "trick" the planet into enforcing our will is likely to come up again at some point.
>>4643072Well if we go to far, Gaia and/or Alaya sends something to put us down for our crimes
>>4643077That's the elegance of it.Instead of trying to overpower the planet's defenses, we've rewritten them into a new configuration such that Gaia actively resists any attempts to kill SHIKI or Ciel.The only way I could see this form of manipulation summoning counter guardians is if we were to create a Truth that threatens the existence of humanity.
>>4643072Speaking of Root, Manaka2 has to know what we did right? That has to count as us making progress with our power. She better give us back our servants or else she's gonna meet our second newest harem member as of now. Well, we might just send Arc anyways.
>>4643110I agree. We might have to visit temple once we are back in Fuyuki so we can get Medea back.
You consider leaving the room for a moment, but decide against it. You might need to intervene on SHIKI's behalf at some point, after all, Akiha is going to have quite a lot of difficulty in accepting SHIKI coming back to his senses after all that has happened, and you want to make sure that he has somebody to back him up, somebody who understands just what sort of experience SHIKI has had to deal with since Roa forced his inversion when he was a child. "SHIKI? But... that can't be you... You inverted! I... I saw it! You attacked me and almost killed Shiki!" SHIKI winces at the reminded, and you can tell that it's just as much a painful memory for him now as it is for her. You feel a little bit bad about forcing SHIKI into doing this."I... I know I did. I won't ask for your forgiveness for that day. I just want you to understand that... I'm not that person anymore. I... I had wanted to just disappear without saying a word, originally." The inverted SHIKI would never have done something like that, as the insanity of his inversion caused him to become outraged that Shiki would dare steal his life, even though Shiki was innocent of everything. SHIKI back before his inversion requested that Shiki kill him should he ever invert, if you're remembering things correctly."SHIKI..." Akiha doesn't seem to know what to make of all that has happened today. "You're... you're not going to go see Shiki, are you?" Seems that she doesn't want the illusion Shiki is under about his true name and family to be broken. A protective lie, but a lie all the same. Does she think that Shiki will hate her after he finds out what the Tohno did to the Nanaya? "This isn't some sort of trick, just so you can get close to Shiki and hurt him again, is it?!" Akiha's disbelief of the situation transforms into anger, thinking that she's simply being tricked by the inverted SHIKI."No. It's not." You step in. "Shiki was... possessed, if you'll believe it. A wicked spirit caused him to lose control of himself and attack you when you were younger. I've managed to exorcise the spirit, and as a result, SHIKI has been restored to a normal state." You feel like telling Akiha that SHIKI has achieved a supreme level of immortality might not exactly be helpful for the situation.
Your words seem to mollify Akiha for a moment, and SHIKI sighs. "Back then... when I attacked Shiki, I joined my life force to his own, so that I would be able to survive my own death, and you shared some of your own life force with Shiki in order to save his life... I was the one siphoning off of that source in order to remain alive. I... I want to make amends for what I did when I was suffering from my inversion, but right now, all I can do is... reverse the flow of life force, so now he's surviving off me instead." Wait... he did? What could that mean for Shiki, if he's being provided with life energy from somebody who has become an unlimited supply of it? You... You're going to need to find Shiki. You don't think the boy is going to be suffering problems with a weak constitution anymore."Then... you're why Shiki is pulsing with energy now? But how could you have so much?" Akiha sounds just a little suspicious of the tremendous amount of life energy that SHIKI apparently has now. Of course, she's provided Shiki with the energy he needs to live for years, even at risk to herself inverting."I can thank Makiri-san here for that." SHIKI gives you a true smile as he thanks you. You hadn't set out to save SHIKI, because you honestly never thought such a thing possible, but you're genuinely glad that you managed to save him. "Something he did when he got rid of the... wicked spirit possessing me." SHIKI doesn't elaborate any further. You want to tell SHIKI that just Shinji will do fine for your name, but you decide you can do that a little later. "As for going to see Shiki... I don't know if I can face him yet. Him or Kohaku...""Kohaku?" Akiha echoes the name of the maid lying unconscious in the corner, while she herself doesn't really buy Kohaku's ditzy maid act, she has no idea just how deep that rabbit hole goes."I... I did something unspeakably wrong to her while I was inverted... and she... she never forgave the Tohno for what happened to her." His face is pained as he looks away from the maid. "Just... Just talk to her. You need to help her get over what happened to her. I... I can't even bring myself to look at her after what I did to her." SHIKI must feel horribly guilty over the actions he took while he wasn't truly the one in control of himself. To almost kill his best friend and then to, well... rape Kohaku.Akiha looks at SHIKI once again. "I understand. I won't forgive you for what you've done. But... I'm glad you've returned to who you once were, SHIKI." She gives her estranged brother a weak smile. "But, you can't stay here." The smile fades. Akiha doesn't sound like she's enjoying the idea of banishing her brother after he's finally returned to his senses, but for Shiki's sake, it looks like she's even willing to go that far.
"I wasn't planning to, but... this is a load off my mind. Thank you, Akiha." SHIKI turns and walks out of the room in something of a hurry, no longer able to face his painful past. There's a wide happy smile on his face as he leaves the room, and tears in his eyes. Yeah... probably best to give him a moment to himself.>"So... you still up for that meeting?">"You know, you should probably just tell Shiki the truth about his Nanaya heritage.">"I should follow him, you guys... entertain yourselves while I'm gone?">"I ought to go now, do you think we can reschedule this meeting for about... oh I don't know, does next month sound good?">Write-in...
>"So... you still up for that meeting?"YES!! The ultimate leverage to win her over on the investment scheme!
>>4643197>>Wait... he did? What could that mean for Shiki, if he's being provided with life energy from somebody who has become an unlimited supply of it? You... You're going to need to find Shiki. You don't think the boy is going to be suffering problems with a weak constitution anymoreSo either Shiki is immortal too or he's a legit superhuman now, either way, he might be able to spam mystic eyes now so i think its time we mold him into DEATH
>>4643201>"You know, you should probably just tell Shiki the truth about his Nanaya heritage."
>>4643201>"So... you still up for that meeting?">"You know, you should probably just tell Shiki the truth about his Nanaya heritage.
>>4643201>>"So... you still up for that meeting?">>"You know, you should probably just tell Shiki the truth about his Nanaya heritage."I want Shiki to be our bro so this feels like a natural step forward
>>4643201>"So... you still up for that meeting?"Hopefully she doesn't catch on to the fact that this was all an elaborate scheme to distract her from the real issues regarding future market share compositions in Misaki town.
>>4643231Sasuga, Makiri-sama.And this is why you're nearly unmatched in the world of business.
>>4643201>>"So... you still up for that meeting?"
So, did you like today's session, everyone?
>>4643256I'm just glad the two retards have settled down.Whether I'm talking about Miho and Ibaraki or the two bloodlusted anons from last thread is up for interpretationSo... can we get a quick summary update on our affection points?
>>4643256It was fair, but as usual you lose marks for the lack of bareback sex with mythological figures and highschool girls.
>>4643256well we bullied 2 retards into submission, we made 2 people as immortal as you can in Nasuverse by complete accident and we also accidentally made a super assassin. Good session
>>4643256gay and bluepilled
>>4643262>can we get a quick summary update on our affection points?There are a few new additions and a lot of updates I need to gather together from my notes to get that in a presentable form, so uh, hold on, it's coming.
>>4643271No you.
>>4643267Don't forget about our genius Machiavellian business maneuvering. As soon as the heiress shown defensiveness we had our two minions barge in, we've "protected" Akiha and her constituents, then we didn't remove her memory so that she would then remember our involvement in the hospital earning her trust two fold. And finally to top it off we saved her brother, and her step brother cementing her agreement to our investment into the town of our teacher, which we are trying to improve relations with. THIS IS A MULTI FACETED PLAN YEARS IN THE MAKING AND ALL THE PIECES ARE SETTLING TO OUR BENEFIT!
>>4643282DAMN SHIKI, THATS LIKE SIX INCHES OF GIRTH.
>>4643256My waifu is potential part of harem and she'll get to see her sis soon hopefully so yes!
>>4643244Didnt this plan failed and they died
>>4643256Very nice.We got 2 onis and a bonus SHIKI
>>4643282Damn nice.
>>4643314The harem route is fraught with dangers so horrific that no man has emerged alive from its maddening depths.
>>4643320It was just a excaliblast
>>4643331The lucky ones die instantly.
>>4643314RIP to Shiki and Shirou but I'm different
Sakura:I've made it worse.Theorized Affection Score: 99.999/100Monica: She seems to like me quite a bit, but I'm kind of hoping that she only sees me as some sort of surrogate younger sibling. The implications of her feelings towards me being romantic are kind of frightening. I miss her...Theorized Affection Score: 84/100Rin: While I still don't get along with her very well, I feel like our relationship has improved quite a lot, despite us still being far from friends.Theorized Affection Score: 45/100Touko: Shishou is... hard to read. Even for somebody like myself, I think that she likes me at least. Well, she has been training me for this long, so I can't see her disliking me else she would've just stopped training me. I still have no idea what she thinks about me.Theorized Affection Score: ??/100Illya: I think that after everything that has happened, Illya likes me quite a bit more, unfortunately, I feel like I barely get time to even talk to her. She's definitely very happy I got Avenger back for her though, and I even helped her with her relationship with Shirou. She's clearly a lot happier now. Theorized Affection Score: 90/100Aoko: I've only met her once but she seemed to like me. Not really much for me to say here.Theorized Affection Score 51/100Akiha: Hey, she's not as angry as I thought she'd be!Theorized Affection Score 50/100Luvia: She probably considers me as something of a rival, as well as her superior in martial arts.

Surprised she didn't come to Fuyuki for the Grail War.Theorized Affection Score: 45/100Altrouge: I really REALLY don't want to meet her again.

I think she might like me just as a result of Illya liking me more.Theorized Affection Score: 64/100Gray: Gray is impossibly hard to read, but she does seem to like me quite a bit. She just has difficulty speaking up. I haven't seen her for a while.Theorized Affection Score: 70/100Sacchin: Well, I think my intervention in saving Satsuki has turned her crushing on me into something far far greater. Theorized Affection Score: 99/100Arcueid: I think that I may have accidentally made her fall in love with me through my actions in a single day. I might be in trouble here.Theorized Affection Score: 98/100Lugh: I haven't spent nearly enough time around Lugh to get a proper read on him. Theorized Affection Score: ??/100

I hope you enjoy an up-to-date analysis on basically every damn character.
Yeah, it's about as bad as I thought it was...>>4643428Thanks for the hard work boss!
>>4643416>>4643419>>4643421Alright so we gotta farm bond points with Rin, Lugh, Shiki and Saber. Maybe Illya if we want another yandere harem member, not like it matters anymore, most of the people that have a crush on us would rip us open if we reject them or choose someone that's not them
>>4643433>LughPfft.
The best way to bond with shiki is to include him into a valentine's day scheme with shirou involved. Our plans shall be significantly magnified with shinji involved.
>>4643421Thanks for the affection points update QM.I find it really funny that shinji befriended the wrong SHIKI tohno rather than the intended one.
>>4643441I think its extremely funny how the woman we had like, one conversation with likes us more than the girl we spend a good chunk of our time with, even funnier is that I think Rin is based off of Aoko or vice versa
>>4643421But i dont want to fuck kirei
>>4643451How about now?
>>4643451Agreed, we have far too much fucking to do to fit him into our schedule.
>>4643457She will black key my ass and steal my command seals
>>4643445Yeah that's why we have to get rin's affection score up even if we're not trying to fuck her.
>>4643421Right Manaka/Left Manaka: Affection points? Are you nuts? Why would the final boss have affection points?Theorized Affection Score: No.NOOOOOO!!Also medea wanting to marry us is cute. Is polygamy allowed where we live?
>>4643464There's not really anyone else to bond with, Shiki and Rin are the only real people left that are on our side at this moment that don't have a high opinion of. I just hope we get into a situation that forces us to work together or we don't do what we always do and choose one of the girls that are already obsessed with us to hangout with during slice of life time.>>4643472well we're rich and she comes from a time where great men were expected to have a harem of women or at least have a few bastards running around so unironically, its looking good for us
>>4643472We're a billionaire ceo with the ability to hypnotize people, unlawful polygamy is the least we could get away with.
>>4643487>>4643485Nice. Let's go for it.
>>4643472I say we walk straight up to Left Manaka and ask for a blowjob.
>>4643500Redemption arc for left death for right.
>>4643504>Shinji asks for 3 allies>my vote is Shuten, Medea, Archer>Shinji says he has one more thing he wants>Left Manaka is all ears, Right Manska salty as ever>Shinji begins to casually stroll up to Left Manaka, openly and without any fear>both watch in curiosity and silent amazement at the sheer bravado>Shinji stops within a few meters of Left Manaka>beckons her close to whisper to her something he doesn't want Right Manaka to hear>Left Manaka, in the position of power, complies>Shinji: "I want to fuck you, right here and now, in front of your twin sister. I want you full of my semen to the point you never want to be without it."What would happen?
>>4643524Maybe a slap then hatefuck.
>>4643524
>>4643524That would be very hot.A very lewd bad ending.
>>4643524You had me until you said Shuten instead of Medusa
>>4643256So why did Shinji offer to ressurect whoever that miko gurl wanted? I was under the impression that we were hiding our abilities as much as possible. Even our closest friends like Monica and Shirou have no clue about nature or extent of our abilities.But now Shinji just offers ressurection to a girl whom he met ten minutes ago? Why?Will we be offering to Sakura and Rin to ressurect their father? Will we be offering to Illya to ressurect her mother? Will we be offering to Shiki to ressurect his family? Will we be offering to Shirou to ressurect his parents? Or is this offer exclusive to QM's OC?
>>4643555>Will we be offering to Shirou to ressurect his parents?I meant Satsuki.
If she asks sure, otherwise it's an insult to the memory of them.
>>4643568Are her parents dead?
>>4643568Well that sentence still works and her parents aren't dead, they weren't in the house when we found her
>>4643555He feels bad about crushing her wish when it was a perfectly pure and innocent one.That's all.He also erased a man from every timeline last night, so he's feeling a little more confident in his powers. Also, he can tell that Miho is a total magic layman so didn't see the harm in trying to give her some sort of hope.And yes, if he was asked he'd consider attempting the same for any of his allies.>>4643568Why do you think they are even dead?
>>4643579>>4643582>>4643584>Why do you think they are even dead?It was just a guess.
>>4643584See >>4643524?
>>4643591I did.If you really want to see what happens I suggest you fuck around and find out.
>>4643587Sometimes it feels like they're dead, as they're just as absent and unaddressed as the progenitors of all our dead parent having friends.It's just kind of weird that they've never been mentioned despite Shinji meeting with Sacchin for years at this point.
>>4643596Well they’re normies and just unmentioned characters both in canon and in this quest.
>>4643201>>"So... you still up for that meeting?">>"You know, you should probably just tell Shiki the truth about his Nanaya heritage."Thank you for everything OP
>>4643419marry medea.
This quest is based off an eroge visual novel, doesn't surprise me much about the motivations of the players.
>>4643849Just because it's based on an eroge doesn't mean that everyone is here for the sex scenes.Personally, I am here because I liked the premise and I have been waiting for the quest ever since /a/ threads.I wouldn't mind if there were some scenes but I won't be upset even if there is none as long as the story reaches some kind of satisfying conclusion.
>>4643865I agree with you, this quest is good enough on its own that it doesn't need explicit content. With that being said, we either get the fucking harem end or we die trying.
>>4643865>>4643901But I want to read raw, hot, steamy sex with Medea with hand holding.
>>4643908I am not against that but if the only thing that I wanted to get out of this quest was sex scenes I would just go to Akun.There are so many Fate related sex quests on that site that one could spend years reading them all.
>>4643915Sure, I don't want a porn quest either. But I find it kind of strange how we have a 18 year old billionaire with many girls after his dick who's still a virgin.
>>4643901Ngl, i really fucking hate the idea of harem endings. But i'm here for the ride anyway, this quest is pretty great regardless.
>>4643918Well to be fair most of them only joined us days ago and shit has been hectic as fuck since. Before that our acquaintances were Rin, Sakura, Touko and Monika. None of them, or the one we're with now, look like they would be satisfied by casual flings either.I'd say developing a romantic relationship would be best left for however brief timeskip there would be after this war, but given what we're up against, that might take a while.
>>4643918Sure but the thing is that we are in the middle of a war and the girls who want our dick are also our most powerful fighters and advisors.As long as we pretend to be retarded everything remains in the equilibrium but the moment we start giving special attention to one of them we enter a very dangerous territory.That's why fraternization is frowned upon in the military. In our case however it's already too late. Our best bet is to drag it out as long as possible and hope that the war ends soon. Then we can resolve it one way or another without risking loosing an important subordinate in the middle of a war.
>>4643924>>4643925Well, it's a logical argument.
>>4643865Said this before, saying it again. As long as>Shinji "wins" in some way, surviving intact somehow>Shinji fucks at least one girl, and after surviving the grail war, knocks them upThen I'm content and the quest is great
>Meeting>>4643211>>4643231>>4643253>>4643335>Tell Shiki truth>>4643215>>4643226>Meeting and Truth>>4643219>>4643224>>4643697>>4643725We're... tied?
>>4643973oh, i dont think i voted>Meeting and Truth
>>4643973I was asleep but voting now>Meeting and Truth
"You know... you should probably tell Shiki the truth about what he is, Miss Tohno." You sigh as the girl's eyes snap on to you. "Don't you think he has a right to know what he really is? Who he really is?" It'll probably be easier if you get Akiha to tell Shiki what he is instead of doing so yourself or getting SHIKI to do it, especially as SHIKI clearly doesn't want to."How much do you know?" Akiha's voice is quiet, and you can tell that she's not exactly happy with this conversation either, but she knows that getting mad now wouldn't actually solve or do anything at all, considering just what an overwhelming force you have with you."I know enough to know that you don't need to hide who he is from him. Shiki isn't going to suddenly hate you if you tell him who he really is. He might've held a grudge against your father, but your father is dead." You look Akiha dead in the eyes. "One day, your father's second rate hypnosis is going to wear off by itself, the man wasn't a magus." You didn't mean to insult Makihisa's memory there, but honestly, he was kind of an asshole as well. What sort of lunatic hires a child maid to 'Synchronize' with? You're glad that SHIKI killed him, honestly. If he hadn't you may very well have done so yourself upon finding him alive."So... you're saying I should just tell him everything?" Akiha sounds skeptical of your suggestion, and is clearly waiting for you to elaborate upon it."Absolutely. Though if I were you, I'd not bring up the whole clan eradication part too much... though honestly, it's not like he would care if he were a true Nanaya." The Nanaya were a truly odd clan, after all."What?" Akiha doesn't sound like she believes what you just said, so you elaborate for the girl."The Nanaya... They were humans born, raises and trained to be monsters to fight against other monsters. Such things as family relations and empathy meant little to the men of the Nanaya. They only lived for the fight." Shiki's father, Kiri Nanaya, was one of the few men who could scare even Kouma Kishima, despite only having the strength of a human. "Were Shiki to somehow have the mindset of the Nanaya hidden within him, that same man wouldn't care that his family were slaughtered... It's... actually for the better that it happened, at least for Shiki. It's a chance for him to be more than just an emotionless killer of demons." You shrug.Akiha looks miserable as you tell her just what the Nanaya were like, but there's a small amount of relief mixed in with the misery, the relief of knowing that even if it was by accident, the destruction of the Nanaya allowed Shiki to become an actual person. Of course, that doesn't absolve her of the guilt or the sin of her family's crime against Shiki's family, but at the very least allows some small measure of comfort. "You... maybe I should tell Shiki..."
You allow Akiha a few minutes to think in silence, even though out of the corner of your eye you can see Miho and Satsuki attempting to help Satsuki get her horns out of the floorboards without causing too much damage. That's what you get when you dogeza with horns, you dumb oni. After Akiha seems to get her thoughts in order, you run a hand through your hair and chuckle a little. "Well, now that business is out of the way, I do actually want to invest into Misaki Town, so should we continue the meeting?"Akiha seems completely and totally stunned by your sudden declaration, the fact that even after everything that just happened and all that you know about the secrets of the Tohno, you still want to go ahead with the meeting. "You know what? I'll just approve any plans you put forward to me. I don't really think I can beat you in business after seeing all this." The very fact that you want to go ahead with the meeting after defeating two bloodthirsty Oni and the entirety of the other occupants of the meeting in addition to everything else. Clearly, Akiha's threshold for how much is too much is quite a lot lower than your own threshold. "It might be a pain explaining it to the branch families, but after all that's happened today, it's clear that if you really wanted to, you and your allies could just hypnotize everyone into agreeing to whatever you wanted anyway." Akiha observes quite calmly.You hold your hands up to protest your innocence. "Miss Tohno, in all my time as the owner of both Makiri Enterprises and Makiri Industries, I've never stooped to such a level of foul play. After all, why cheat when you don't actually have to?" For somebody with all the cards, what use is an ace up your sleeve?Touko takes a draw on her cigarette. "Well, I did implant the memory that everyone here thinks the meeting went well, but most of my students meetings aren't interrupted by Oni attacking him... I should hope." Well, that's not really backing up what you're saying, but Akiha doesn't seem to really care. Odds are that the meeting would've gone exceptionally well had the attack not happened anyway."T-thank you, Shishou." Not exactly helpful there, Touko, but at least she's telling the truth, and you're not going to get accused of deceiving Akiha at a later date.
"Be that as it may, I'm going to need some time to myself for now. You may feel free to entertain yourself in whatever way you see fit in the mansion till you decide to depart... Just don't tell Shiki about himself if you bump into him. I think I ought to be the one responsible for that." That's fair enough, you think. >Leave Akiha and go looking for SHIKI. You probably ought to talk with him alone.>Leave Akiha be and return to your room, make a few phone calls in order to get everyone together. You've got some planning to do.>Try to wake Betty up before leaving. You can't believe she slept through all of that. >Leave Akiha and return to town, you should be able to get everyone together now.>Write-in...
>>4644016>>Leave Akiha be and return to your room, make a few phone calls in order to get everyone together. You've got some planning to do.
>>4644016>Leave Akiha be and return to your room, make a few phone calls in order to get everyone together. You've got some planning to do

>>4644016>>Leave Akiha be and return to your room, make a few phone calls in order to get everyone together. You've got some planning to do.Do check on Betty too, though, confirm she's just sleeping.
20 minutes till call.
>>4644015>even though out of the corner of your eye you can see Miho and Satsuki attempting to help Satsuki get her horns out of the floorboards without causing too much damage.Poor Sacchin. She spontaneously grew horns, got them stuck in the floor and then had to summon a doppelganger of herself to get them unstuck.
>>4644051It looks like she still hasn't got the hang of her powers.Who knew Dead Apostles had horns?
>>4644051Oh uh.Oops.That's what I get for only looking for spelling mistakes and grammar errors in my proofreading.
>>4644016>>Leave Akiha and return to town, you should be able to get everyone together now.
>>4644016>Leave Akiha be and return to your room, make a few phone calls in order to get everyone together. You've got some planning to do.Hopefully Betty is alright. I know she doesn’t like it when we aren’t with her for long periods of time.
>>4644078She is with us tho. She is in spirit form.
>>4644016Wasn't it banana whose horns were stuck?Leave Akiha be and return to your room, make a few phone calls in order to get everyone together. You've got some planning to do.>Try to wake Betty up before leaving. You can't believe she slept through all of that
Hmm.Hehehe.
"Well, I may speak to you at some point later, Miss Tohno. Until then, I must be off, there are many things I must attend to." Namely, your plan for just what you want to do next. "Everyone, please follow me, I wish to discuss what exactly is to be done about our current situation." You're going to need to make a few phone calls, of course, but of all of your allies, only Sakura and Shirou can be relied on to actually carry mobile phones... and Sakura is currently with you right now. You ought to see if Illya wants one at some point.The journey back to your room with everyone is a short one, and though the meeting didn't feel like it took that long, the sun is already setting. Damn these short January days. You check your connection to Betty and find she managed to fall asleep somewhere outside the meeting room while still remaining in spiritual form. You decide that it's probably for the best if you just left her be for now. It's not like you need to wake her up right now, you're only going to be doing some planning, and no offense to Betty, but she's not really helpful for that sort of stuff. Other than perhaps clarifying just what her abilities are capable of doing."Everyone, feel free to go about doing your own things while I make a phone call to Shirou." There's really no point in keeping them hanging around you while you simply make a phone call to Shirou to ask him to get everyone together. You were expecting some grumbling, but Arcueid seems more than happy to go and explore the Tohno Mansion by herself, while Sakura says something about how she wants to see if she can help the maids prepare dinner. Touko you think wanders off in the direction of the basement again, and you have absolutely no idea where Ibaraki and Miho vanish off to. Probably off to cause trouble.You take your phone and begin dialing Shirou, who quickly picks the phone up and answers you, his voice low. "Shinji? What's going on? Saber and I are tracking this guy right now... Saber thinks he might be trouble, we're just outside the..." Shirou takes a moment to confirm his surroundings, and your heart sinks. "...Misaki Grand Hotel." Oh. Shit."What does he look like?" You force the words out, more a command to know than it is a question. You've already got an idea as to just who this might be, but you need to confirm it."He's... tall, and he's wearing a dark blue trenchcoat, he's got gray hair and his skin is pale. Do you know anybody like that?" Oh damn it! God damn this city! How many Dead Apostle Ancestors are going to show up here? You were expecting him to make an appearance at some point, but you were hoping Arcueid regaining more of her power would scare him off.
"Do not approach him. Do not allow him to realize you're following him either. That guy is way too dangerous for you and Saber to take on alone. Wait for me to arrive, I'll be there as quickly as I can!" You hang up the phone and look at the command spell on the back of your hand. Nrvnqsr Chaos is an opponent who is beyond most people, and gathering the entire group would take more time than you can spare, right now, you need to be as fast as you can be, you can't afford being slowed down.>Select all allies you want to take to face Nrvnqsr Chaos. (Each ally will take time to find.)>>Sakura>>Miho and Ibaraki>>Arcueid>>Touko>>Nobody.>>4644106It was an error. It was meant to read Ibaraki. Satsuki hasn't got horns, obviously.
>>4644119>>Sakura>>ArcueidSakura should be able to actually kill him. Arcueid is just here for support.
>>4644119>Sakura>Arcueid
>>4644119where tf is Shiki
>>4644119>>>Nobody.We buffed Shirou and Saber is with him. The three of us should be fine and I kind of want to see what Shirou can do after we loaded his brain with stuff.
>>4644124Isn't he in school right now?
>>4644127well we're dragging him the fuck out then, he's learning death point or we're nuking India
>>4644124Yeah, he's just a little late home from school right now. It's only about 4:30PM now, still just about daytime.
>>4644119>Sakuranot entirely sure about Arcueid, it feels almost too obvious we'd take her for this.Maybe we run across SHIKI when looking for Sakura, that would be nice...Fuck this is going to be an eventful night isn't it? With Altrouge and Rizo at large as well...
>>4644134>not entirely sure about ArcueidShe is our best asset. Why wouldn't we take her?
>>4644119>Sakura
>>4644134>>4644136she could squish Nrvnqsr wdym
>>4644119>Sakura>ArcueidGoing with >>4634467>She presumably stomps Nrvnqsr like he's six hundred and sixty six bugs thereArc should be useful and Sakura can kill him for good.
Reminder that we need to fully erase Nrvnqsr like we did with Roa or we need Shiki here. He's genuinely too hard to kill and even when Shiki killed him, the chaos in his body took on a different host
>>4644142We don't need to do shit. Sakura will just consume him together with all his beasts.
>>4644119>sakura>arcueid>explain quite fast what is happening for any allies that you don't take with you>tell the onis to not fuck up anything>REMEMBER TO BUY FUCKING PHONES FOR EVERYONE LATER
>>4644119>>Sakura>>ArcueidNrvnqsr Fact: The name Nrvnqsr is actually pronounced "Nero Caesar" and is a corruption of the Russian spelling for the emperor of the same name.
>>4644155>a corruption of the Russian spelling for the emperor of the same name.I don't mean to call you a liar but that sounds like bullshit.The name "Nero" translates to russian as "Hepoн" (Neron) and "Caesar" in context of roman empire translates as "Цeзapь" (Cesar').I might be wrong but the name "Nrvnqsr" just seems like a meaningless letter mash-up.
>>4644166Nrvn - Hepoнqsr - ЦeзapьI assume it is possible to mumble it like that.
>>4644166its just a degradation of the word
>>4644170>>4644172I don't know man. I have no intention to engage in a discussion on a phonetic structure of the russian language.The more probable explanation to this is the same as for Saber being called Altria. Nasu just doesn't know foreign languages.
10 minutes till I call.
>>4644119>Sakura>ArcueidLets go bros.
>>4644175>Altriathat's probably because japanese don't distinguish between "r" and "l"never seen it spelled out but I imagine it's something like aruturia
>>4644201yeah its something like Arturia, Nasu almost got it right, Artorias is name that Arthur is derived from
>>4644201It's アルトリア - Arutoria, the proper translation should be Artoria, based on Artorius.Altria is the first thing you get when you run アルトリア through Google Translate. Which should tell you something about the team translating FGO.
>>4644216>>4644201>>4644175>>4644172>>4644170>>4644166>>4644155Who fucking cares?!
>>4644223i do this is important
>>4644223A good six people, seeing as you mass replied to all of them. Are you allergic to discussion or just autistic?
>>4644231It's discussion that isn't pertinent to this thread.
>>4644235we're literally about to fight Nrvnqsr
>>4644235>Discussion about fate characters currently appearing in a fate quest in a fate thread.>Not pertinentSo you're just autistic. Good to know.
>>4644240Wojack.gif
>>4644216actually that's product of google translate trying to interpret meaning of the word because if you look it up symbol by symbol it's "a ru (or lu) to ri a"
>>4644247>>4644240there's no need to get agitated, we're just talking about a semi relevant snippet of trivia, it's not like we were trying to destroy each other over something emotional.
I won't be able to follow the thread today, so I would like to post my assault plan right now.1) Scout out enemy base using Betty's familiars and Touko's divination.2) Give our allies all the information we have on the enemy.3) I don't think splitting our forces is a good idea. Even though taking everyone to battle is dangerous leaving our weaker allies alone in a place that is not protected by bounded fields where a single DAA would be able to kill them all is even more dangerous.4) Considering the fact that we've got a number of mages and Avenger who specializes in ranged combat it's obvious that we have advantage in open field battle. Therefore, our goal in the first phase of battle should be attracting enemy attention and forcing them out into the open.In order to achieve that we should open battle with a volley of magic and Avenger's arrows. No need to go all out at this point since we are unlikely to deal any serious damage.5) Once the battle begins we should arrange our forces in this manner: Avenger and Touko and Shinji against Sword dude. Touko said she came up with some counter measures against his time magic. Shirou and Saber will handle Mordred. Stab her with Rule Breaker and have Touko contract her. After that, Saber can assist us with sword dude. Beo and Ibaraki will distract Primate Murder. Their goal is not defeating him bur rather holding him away from our other allies. Arcueid will be facing off against Altrouge. Nrvnqsr can be dealt with by Betty and Sakura. His animals shouldn't be able to even scratch Betty and her Mystic Eyes should be able to hold him in place. Once he is immobilized Sakura will vore him. Zepia is an unknown factor. Is he crazy like in Tsukihime? Is he sane and the head of Atlas like in Fate? In any case if he shows up Arcueid will have to use her Marble Phantasm. That other pirate guy is also an unknown. I assume we can tank his ship with our Truth barrier. Other than that I have no clue.6) Everyone else will be reacting to the situation helping main fighters when necessary. Mostly they should stay at some distance from main fighting and just snipe.7) I am kinda scared that once we begin attacking our enemies will try to retreat instead of retaliating. Perhaps we could camouflage our main forces (Arc, Beo, Touko) with magic to trick our enemies into thinking that we brought only mages and some servants with us.Please give me some feedback. I am talking to you in particular WhatIsAQM. I am not asking for meta-information. I am asking you to review this as if you were a player. Would you vote for this plan? Would you change something?
>>4644259>That other pirate guy is also an unknown. I assume we can tank his ship with our Truth barrier. Other than that I have no clue.He has a reality marble of his own that destroyed a cancel, i wouldn't be surprised if his ship is full of vampire mobs
>>4644252Yes. Because Google Translate is retarded and gave us such gems as "Salomon" and "Uncle Man Diaz"The fact that they're using it at all means they have no idea what they're actually translating and should be the last people translating anything.
>>4644270You're retarded
>>4643416>>4643419>>4643421I'm looking at the affection list again and just realizing that anything above a 90 is the yandere zone. I'm starting to think that a 100/100 is just full blown obsession and murder any girl that looks at us
>>4644286100/100 is obsession plus a dicking
>>4644259Well, it's not a bad plan, but I can't really say much about it when I have the bias of knowing exactly what is going to happen...
>>4644286>>4644292
>>4644259Almost forgot to mention, in the proposed sequel for Tsukihime, Rizo was supposed to be Shiki's rival and archenemy, I kinda wanna recreate that now
>>4644299Has she shown up yet?
>>4644313no
>>4644293Is the vote called?
>>4644328Yes.Sakura and Arcueid.
>>4644259this is quite nice.
Damn it! You need to get Arcueid... Arcueid and Sakura! Those two are your best bet at being able to not just defeat Nrvnqsr, but also to destroy him once and for all. Arcueid as she is now might not have the actual capacity to destroy Nrvnqsr, but his six hundred and sixty six beasts should no longer be an issue to her. Meanwhile, Sakura with her ability to open up a portal to her inner world of nullification through her shadows should be able to drag the Dead Apostle down to meet a destruction even the chaotic matter that makes up his body will be able to save him from. While you would like to be able to gather together all of your allies, before taking on such an opponent, these two are about the minimum you can take with you and still be guaranteed the ability to kill the Dead Apostle Ancestor once and for all.You begin racing through the mansion, first heading towards the kitchen, Sakura said that was where she was heading, so with any luck you'll be able to catch her there. Freely reinforcing your body as you sprint through the corridor, the doors pass you by in a blur of speed, and it only takes you about twenty two seconds until you've reached the door to the kitchen, the corners you had to turn unfortunately slowing you down. When you reach the kitchen you see something you hadn't expected to see, and you see Arcueid chatting with Sakura, even if Sakura doesn't seem to be enjoying the subject of the conversation. You think you can hear Arcueid saying your name just as you round the corner, but your arrival puts a quick end to the conversation. You're lucky that the two of them ended up in the same place, and you keep things short. "There's a Dead Apostle Ancestor at the hotel. Shirou and Saber are in danger." Both Arcueid and Sakura's faces go from momentarily confused to determined in an instant. "Follow me, I'll explain the abilities of our opponent on the way."Of course, when you said, 'follow me' you hadn't expected to have to carry Sakura in a princess carry simply because she isn't fast enough by herself to just run after you and Arcueid, you had considered allowing Arcueid to carry her, but honestly, you prefer this outcome. You explain just what it is that Nrvnqsr is capable of doing and just why he's such a threat to Sakura, though Arcueid probably already knows at least to some degree about the powers of this opponent, it still can't hurt to tell her exactly how they work.
You arrive at the hotel just in time to see the battle between Saber and the Dead Apostle begin, as Saber dashes forwards to intercept a stampede of some of Nrvnqsr's weaker beasts that are emerging from his shadow towards the Hotel, clearly wishing to feed upon the innocent people within. With an explosion of magical energy, at least six of the beasts are completely destroyed. "Hmmph, a Servant?" Nrvnqsr seems to adjust himself to the sudden appearance of a new foe. "I was wondering just what sort of being it was that my beasts could feel, and it turns out to be a spirit? I have no use for you." The trench coat wearing vampire sends another of his beasts towards the sword wielding Servant, a huge tiger, though again, Saber cuts it down with relative ease."I won't allow you to harm an innocent person while I am your opponent." Saber calmly states as she warily eyes the vampire opposing her. "I can't allow something like you to do as you please, monster." Saber dashes forwards to strike at Nrvnqsr, but only ends up striking another beast that emerges from his body to intercept her, her instincts more than great enough to react to any surprise Nrvnqsr might try to use "Your summoned familiars are no match for me." Saber seems to have calmly observed Nrvnqsr's capabilities and is relatively confident in her observations, though you know that the Dead Apostle Ancestor is still holding back from using his more powerful beasts on this unknown opponent. His ability to gauge Saber's strength is far worse than Saber's own ability to gauge his."Of course, the one weakness of a Servant is that... well, you're naught but a powerful familiar!" Nrvnqsr allows himself to smile as two torrents of beasts emerge from his body, one racing towards Saber and the other heading towards the considerably less well defended Shirou, who, to his credit, has traced two swords. Not Kanshou and Bakuya as you would've expected, but no... Aren't those two blades Diarmuid's swords? When did he get the opportunity to see those? Of course, Shirou's own performance against the beasts is irrelevant, as before anyone else can make a move, Arcueid sweeps in and crushes the beasts before they can reach Shirou, turning into a mad blur of movement as she absolutely destroys the line of monsters, Saber on the other hand is destroying each and every one of the beasts with machine-like precision, glad that back-up has arrived. "Oh, and it seems that tonight, my target has come to me." Nrvnqsr loses almost all of his interest in Saber as he he now focuses his attention on the True Ancestor. Of course, the beasts that have been destroyed by the combined efforts of the two powerful women return to Nrvnqsr, reabsorbed into his chaos.
You look at Sakura, and you realize that this fight is still in its early stages, Saber, Arcueid and Nrvnqsr have yet to reveal any of their aces, like Nrvnqsr bringing out more powerful beasts or transforming into his ultimate form. Of course, there's also the Soil of Genesis to worry about... While it's not like you're worried about Arcueid losing now she's at fifty percent of her power, there's a certain danger that Nrvnqsr represents through the composition of his body...>Have Sakura attack Nrvnqsr now. End him before he gets the chance to make himself a threat.>Wait for an opportunity to arise before telling Sakura to attack. >Attack Nrvnqsr yourself. You might not be able to hit one of his death points like Shiki, but a blade made of Truth ought to do damage!>Allow the battle to continue a little longer before taking any action. Saber and Arcueid seem to be doing well enough right now.>Write-in...
>>4644354>>Have Sakura attack Nrvnqsr now. End him before he gets the chance to make himself a threat.>>Write-in...Prepare to protect Sakura with your Truth Magic in case Nrvnqsr tries to retaliate.
>>4644354>>Wait for an opportunity to arise before telling Sakura to attack.
>>4644354>Wait for an opportunity to arise before telling Sakura to attack.
I wonder if it would be possible to synchronize with Sakura's attack in such manner that someone observing the fight from afar would misunderstand her powers.Her ribbons should hamper his abilities, even before she captures him, right? Could we use either runes, or just small bolts of truth to conserve power for such a misdirection to make it appear our attacks are ones that weaken him and Sakura's ribbons are only grappling him in place?
>>4644354>Wait for an opportunity to arise before telling Sakura to attack
15 minute till calling.
>>4644354>Wait for an opportunity to arise before telling Sakura to attack.If he is caught with ribbons during a solid opening he's done.
>>4644354>Wait for an opportunity to arise before telling Sakura to attack>ask arcueid if she can make a opening
Actually, best make it 30, I'm cooking.
>>4644400Whatcha cooking
>>4644402Pasta and meatballs.
>>4644405Medea likes balls
>>4644405At least it's not pasta with ketchup.
>>4644400My endgame is that we reach a point where our life is a SoL anime.
>>4644354Hmm... although it doesn't seem like he's gonna be ever more distracted than he is now by Arc and Saber, I'm a bit worried if he has any tricks that could surprise us despite our foreknowledge.>Wait for an opportunity to arise
>>4644354>Wait for an opportunity to arise before telling Sakura to attack.If we do this, its more likely we won’t fuck things up or end up seeing Taiga (wherever she is right now):
>>4644414My goal is for us to reach this tier too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emb66UNsr54
>>4644426Yes.
>>4644421I'm telling you, he's gonna get triggered.
>>4644409Who the fuck eat pasta with ketchup?
>>4644459"White" Americans, mostly boomers. I didn't believe it was possible to be this retarded when it comes to food until I gagged seeing a kid in my school that ate ketchup with rice back when I was in elementary school.
>>4644461Once I ate pasta with sweet and sour sauce, my friend made. It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever tasted.
>>4644461I'm not even italian and I want to puke just thinking about it. Americans are mentally ill when it comes to food. Except for barbecues.
>>4644466Thats foul, that poor kid probably thought he was eating a special version of chow mein that his parents made. Boomers are a strange breed.
>>4644461The baffling thing isn't that its bad, its that up to the point the food was served nobody had it in themselves to reflect on what they had made. There are many people who get by in the world without a sense of how to cook well, but its the lack of self awareness regarding one's inability to cook that makes people who put ketchup on pasta exceptional.
>>4644431now that DMC is mentioned, when the fuck are we getting Enhance

>>4644547You gay
You'll wait for the perfect opportunity, and then when Nrvnqsr least expects it, you can have Sakura use her ribbons! Against somebody who is basically a living form of magecraft like Nrvnqsr, her ribbons ought to have incredible effect! "Sakura, hold on for now, don't do anything unless we need to defend ourselves." Of course, Nrvnqsr right now is under a little too much pressure to want to send anything after the two of you. Even if he gets the bright idea of trying to absorb you or Sakura for additional power, neither Arcueid or Saber are going to let up on their attack."It seems we're at something of a stalemate." The Dead Apostle states calmly. "I am unable to defeat you, and you are unable to defeat me... but do you really think that you'll be able to hold out against my attacks until the sun rises? Your magical energy is flagging already, Servant. I can see it clearly." Saber grimaces, while Shirou is a more competent magus than he might otherwise have been, he's still not got a tremendous amount of energy to work with, and extended combat against an enemy like Nrvnqsr will quickly drain it. Shirou himself looks worried, the fact that he's not traced any Noble Phantasms that prevent healing against Nrvnqsr shows that he doesn't believe a curse to be effective against somebody like Nrvnqsr. The guy is basically a rogue glob of Tiamat's Sea of Life now. That's what he ended up turning himself into through his magical research, and he doesn't even understand what that means.You observe the fight for some more time, as both Saber and Arcueid avoid allowing even the remnants of the destroyed beasts to touch them in order to prevent Nrvnqsr from utilizing the Soil of Genesis, though Arcueid at fifty percent of her strength would likely be able to escape the ability, Saber wouldn't be so lucky. Eventually, after even his most powerful beasts prove inadequate, with both Saber and Arcueid effortlessly dispatching the lesser dragons and other phantasmal beasts he reveals from his body, he stops. "I can see that I won't be able to defeat you with my beasts alone, and though I had no wish to do this, it seems that if I wish to succeed in my wish to absorb the White Princess, I must use my full strength." The chaotic matter making up his destroyed beasts begin to flow towards him, and as it does, you nudge Sakura with an elbow before taking a step forward and yelling."Hey, Fabro!" You call out to the Dead Apostle Ancestor, using his true name to do so. The attention of the Dead Apostle Ancestor snaps to you just as he finishes collecting the last of his beasts. "You're a second rate magus, a third rate Dead Apostle, and you'll never be able to understand the truth of your body!" You taunt the Dead Apostle in order to gain his attention.
"Boy, I haven't the faintest idea who you are, but I assure you-" The Dead Apostle Ancestor seems to be irritated with your choice to use his full name, and that's about the reaction you wanted, as you cut him off."Yeah... I don't care about you either. Sakura, now!" At your command, Sakura summons forth four tendrils of shadow that wrap around each of Nrvnqsr limb's in order to bind him.The Dead Apostle Ancestor doesn't actually seem too impressed by her usage of magecraft, up until he tries to break the ribbons and finds himself completely unable to do so. "What... nonsense is this?!" He struggles against his bindings, and his body bulges and warps without anything actually happening, almost as if something was preventing his powers from working."Nullification." You state with a smile. "I wanted to wait until you were all together before I played this card against you... what's the matter? Can't summon any of your beasts? Can't break the binds?" Saber and Arcueid seem to relax a little as you approach the Dead Apostle Ancestor. "Well, I guess that you just had awful compatibility against my sister here. See, you're effectively a living Reality Marble, permanently cast upon your own body as to not trigger the corrective impulses of Gaia, right?" Nrvnqsr seems more bothered trying to escape the ribbons that are seemingly expanding and growing around his entire body, slowly turning him into a bizarre looking mummy. "So, here's the thing I was wondering... What happens if something like a Reality Marble came into contact with something that could nullify any magical ability?" Before Nrvnqsr can answer, a ribbon wraps around his mouth, and you smirk at his hate filled eyes. "It becomes completely worthless! Thanks for being a test subject, Number 10, but I think it's about time we... wrapped things up, don't you?" You joke at the defeated Dead Apostle Ancestor as the ribbons finishing wrapping him, barely able to prevent yourself from cackling with mad glee as he begins to sink into the floor, being taken into Sakura's inner world to be nullified, converted into magical energy, and destroyed utterly.Sakura walks over to you, apparently suffering no ill effects from the ingestion of the Dead Apostle Ancestor. "Onii-chan, I wish that you'd learn to be a little more gracious in victory." She gives you a weak smile as she equally weakly admonishes you for your taunting of the doomed Dead Apostle. You can tell that she doesn't really care though."It doesn't really matter, does it?" You sigh as you look up. "Is it done yet?" You look at Sakura, waiting for her confirmation on the destruction of the Tenth Dead Apostle Ancestor, and she nods. "I... I think that everything relating to the individual that was Nrvnqsr is gone... and so are the beasts... but for some reason, I can't seem to nullify and destroy the mud-like substance, like there's... there's something trying to keep it there?"
Something trying to keep it there? "What are you talking about, Sakura? If Nrvnqsr is gone, then surely you should be able to destroy the remnants of his body, right?" Something might still go wrong, could you have been wrong about the nature of the chaos? Could Sakura be at risk of being possessed? No... if he dares try to do that, you'll erase Nrvnqsr and his chaos much like you erased Roa, you'll find a way. "No... it's not Nrvnqsr... It's... something else... Something is trying to... manifest through what's left of him!" Sakura's eyes widen as her legs fail her. You catch her in your arms and look at your sister as she struggles to contain whatever is currently inside of her, though to be able to give her this much difficulty even after you strengthened her world with the concept of Nullification... what manner of creature could this be?! Your questions are answered as Sakura looks up at you, and for a moment, her deep purple eyes flash a different color entirely, a vibrant shade of pink, though the most notable feature of the eyes are the white crosses that appear in both of them... N-no way! Seconds later, the girl falls unconscious in your arms.Arcueid, Saber and Shirou come running up to you as you hold your sister in your arms. She's not dead, that much you know, and she's... still herself. She hasn't been possessed, you at least know that much. Even Arcueid seems to be baffled by this set of circumstances. "Shinji? What happened to your sister?" You sigh before responding.>"I think that something might've tried to invade her body from the greater World of Imaginary Numbers.">"I have no idea, I think she just needs rest.">"I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat.">"I have no idea, do you see anything wrong with her, Arcueid?">Write-in...
That's why it's a bad idea to take a guy who is in essence a lump of the sea of life that she has complete control over into the same dimension Tiamat is trapped within!
>>4644590>>Write-in...Panic. Just immediately panic and start yelling about Primordial Dragon THOTs.
>>4644590Y'all fucked up"I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat
>>4644587>I can't seem to nullify and destroy the mud-like substance, like there's... there's something trying to keep it there?Its finally happening >>4644593I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS A BAD IDEA TO LET SAKURA EAT VAMPIRES, FUCKING KNEW IT
>>4644590lets add tiamat to our harem
>>4644598It was really only this one specific vampire that could've had this effect.Kind of disappointed you didn't go alone, as that would've ended up with Shiki, Shirou, Shinji and SHIKI fighting together. Oh well. I enjoy this outcome too.
>>4644590>"I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat."
>>4644619WHY DO WE ALWAYS FUCKING MISS THE BASED TAG TEAMS WTF. First Kouma and SHIKI, now this?
>>4644619wait what happens if Nrvnqsr eats SHIKI
>>4644590>"I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat."You know what? This shit ain't surprising me anymore
>>4644624>WHY DO WE ALWAYS FUCKING MISS THE BASED TAG TEAMS WTF.Because after getting waifu'd by Tamamo and kidnapped by Moedred people are taking the harem everywhere for protection.
>>4644590Oh fuck. What is she going to want, and will it be good idea to give it to her?>"I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat."
>>4644629SHIKI would be completely impossible to break down or absorb, Nrvnqsr's body would reject him.
>>4644619I hope we can have another opportunity to have that line up it sounds like its based as fuck.
>>4644590>I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat.MOMMY
>>4644632Honestly, if she does end up trying to re-enter reality, we should cut her a deal. Something along the lines of Truth-amping her Divinity so that she would lose the need for a mortal body/vessel? So she wouldn't need to bother any life on Earth because she herself would become separate from the ecosystem.
Calling in 30 minutes.Did you like it?
>>4644642she's gonna kill us all so maybe not>>4644648No because you let everyone know that we could've had an even more based option
>>4644590>>"I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat.">>4644648Pretty neat
>>4644650>No because you let everyone know that we could've had an even more based optionIt's not like that can't occur at some point in the future though, meanwhile this was a unique opportunity that could not have been replicated.
I'm almost sure we could damage tiamat if we ever need to, we aren't her "children" and truth is truth.>>4644590>"I think she might've somehow made contact with the mother of all life on the planet... Tiamat.">call touko and ask for help>ask arcueid if she can do anything>explain to your alliesWAIT, WOULD AVALON DO ANYTHING?
>>4644670>WAIT, WOULD AVALON DO ANYTHING?It would turn Merlin into the Janitor of Avalon as he cleaned up the Sea of Life spill.
>>4644654I'm just impatient and want a based tag team with our bros against a vampire. Also I thought you didn't like FGO
>>4644679I like certain aspects of FGO.I just hate the main character.
>>4644675hmmmmmm>>4644683I don't hate ritsuka its just that he is bland as shit, thats why people like the joke version of him from the manga more, at least she has personality.
>>4644683Can we use truth to server tiamat's connection to sakura?
>>4644683Can we use truth to manifest a top hat on tiamat?
>>4644683Can we use truth to make kirei appear in tiamat's tum tum?
>>4644687That would require you to actually enter Sakura's nullification zone in order to confront Tiamat alone... Not reccomended.>>4644690Same as above, but more fashionable.
>>4644590>>4644593So Sakura went from Yandere to Yandere EX?
>>4644697would rule breaker do anything
>>4644683Can we pacify Tiamat by applying headpats?
tiamat is very cute
>>4644700nullification zone so probably not
>>4644700No. Rule Breaker severs magical contracts and the like, the connection between Tiamat and Sakura now isn't like that at all.
>>4644709would 2 rule breakers workjk
>>4644709I'm sure you'll keep this hidden until we find this out on our own, but what IS their connection like. For now at least. Sakura seems to be in control, and her aspect of nullification should work to keep Tiamat from doing any fuck shit on her own.So is Sakura just gonna have to deal with Mega Mommy whispering fuck shit in her inner ear for now on until Sakura lets her out or otherwise do something?
>>4644717I plead the fifth.
>>4644720How would Tiamat respond if we use Isekai Bro's memories of Tiamat r34 and downloaded it directly to Sakura's INS?
Push comes to shove, we'll pull all stops and sever Sakura's connection to her own element. We know enough people to make it work, and her safebeing is more important than her usefulness to us.
>>4644722agreed, must protecc imouto
>>4644648I wish you could tip us that we shouldn't have Sakura do this.It would be fair to fuck us like this if we would have conciously choose this for shits and giggles. But considering that it's pretty obvious that none of us knew that would happen it feels like you are a high schooler who who walks up to kids on their first day of school demands that they solve a quadratic equation and punches them in the face when they ask him what an equation is.Feels a little unfair.
>>4644722i don't think severing someone connection to their element is a good idea
>>4644727It's not actually as bad as it looks.
>>4644730Having a direct link to a beast is also not a good idea.Better sane Sakura without her element than Sakura posessed by Tiamat.
>>4644727Are you complaining that there are unforseen consequences to choices we make in the thread? Shit's boring if we know the result of every choice before we make it.
>>4644734I guess it depends of what part of tiamat we are talking about, femme fatale likes humanity its the rest of her that has the desire to also destroy humanity.It's weird.>>4644732is this connection like how a foreigner servant is formed in FGO?
>>4644735Is that really what you've got from my post?Scenario 1Player: I choose to go for a walk.QM: As you go for a walk you see a weird red rock.P: I choose to kick it as hard as I can.QM: Rock explodes. You die. Scenario 2Player: I choose to go for a walk.QM: As you go for a walk you step on a weird red rock and it explodes. You die.P: What? What the hell is that rock? Why did I step on it?QM: That rock was lying there for decades waiting for you to step on it. You would have known about it if you have read a supplementary material for the setting.>>4644732I wish I knew how bad it is, so I could choose an appropriate response.But I don't.Guess I get another punch to the face.
>>4644590>Might have made contact with OG milkiesWhatIs is just building BB without aid of the mooncell. Sakura with the base of Potnia Theron.Now she has to eat Nyarly for the alt costume options
Status Updated!I was gonna wait until the next update for this but whatever.
>>4644771Sakura can't catch a break, now she's a vessel for 2 Beasts
However, as a result of containing the entire body of Tiamat inside herself, Sakura's physical strength and abilities have been increased to that of a weak Servant. Oh God Oh Fuck
>>4644762I get that all you say is hyperbole and bullshit. There hasn't been a mistake we couldn't recover from so far. Go jack off, take a pill, have a shower or whatever just calm your tits.
>>4644762>You would have known about it if you have read a supplementary material for the setting.Sounds like you should have read the supplementary material then. Also, notice how you're the only one that thinks it's unfair you didn't know the results of the action beforehand.Hell, the fact that we didn't immediately dojo is a good hint too.
>>4644771Wow! It's even better than I would have hoped! Damn, we're really turning poor Sakura into a mega death weapon, aren't we!Good for her, hope it isn't too much of a burden on her. We might need to take responsibility bros...
>>4644787I'm pretty sure she still has the potential to turn into Dark Sakura so this blessing could very easily screw us over so badly
>>4644791I'm pretty sure Tiamat would eat Angry Manjew.
>>4644771Does this mean that if Sakura "eat" someone now they'll have to deal with both her Nullification and Tiamat's mud at the same time?
>>4644791>this blessing could very easily screw us over so badlyWell, that's a given!The more powerful we make each of our allies, especially the female ones, the more of a threat they are to us if they ever cold flip.And don't you dare get it twisted...With the way that this shit is going...It's only a matter of time.
>>4644786>Sounds like you should have read the supplementary material then.Right? I can't believe that there are people in the FATE thread who don't know about Nrvnqsr Chaos.He was one of the best characters of Fate/Stay Night.
>>4644771Sorry whatis, I have to break the veil for a minute.>>4644815Turns out that there's this place, a site called the "type-moon wiki" that reveals the mysteries of the quest. Read it and you too can know about all this additional shit WhatIs keeps adding.
>>4644824>break the veilOh shit dude! Are you some kind of ghost? Please don't curse me lol.>Read it and you too can know about all this additional shit WhatIs keeps adding.Exactly. Everyone including you knew this was going to happen. That's why everyone voted for Sakura to be posessed by a beast.Totally.
>>4644833>Exactly. Everyone including you knew this was going to happen. That's why everyone voted for Sakura to be posessed by a beast.>Totally.I never said we knew it was going to happen. But I know about Tiamat and Nero Chaos and I can see the connect in hindsight. Also, notice how you're still the only one complaining?
>>4644843>Recommending the TM wikiYou understand the complete lack of accuracy that place has, dont you?
>>4644844Hey, some idea of what's going on is better then crying about how this is unforeseen and unfair because you've never played anything other then FSN.
>>4644771>>4644780I have very mixed feelings about it.On one hand, it's good that Sakura is stronk. It means more shovels per second.On the other hand I'm worried for her to be exposed to all this stuff. What it will do to her personality.In either case she's owed ice cream.
>>4644888Oh shit dude, thanks for reminding me. Now that we've confirmed the existence of two beasts, when we get time can we go find Olga Marie and see if Kiara exists?
>>4644795yeah, remember that tiamat's mud is so fucking OP that even gilgamesh couldnt no-sell it.Also, why is this a blue board
>>4644891olga isnt a beast, kinda, we don't know yet to be honest.Kiara may exist but she is just a normal lewd nun on normal timelines i guess.I'm just waiting for the QM to throw a curveball and have moneybills summon Solomon.
"I... I think that Sakura has come into contact with the mother of all life on the planet... No, that's not accurate... I think... I think Sakura might have become the host body of that Goddess..." As insane as it sounds, it's the only outcome that makes any sort of sense. Tiamat has managed to manifest into Sakura's body. Somehow, you've turned your sister into Beast II."That... Goddess?" Arcueid looks at Sakura's body and her eyes narrow. It looks like she's definitely noticed the anomalies with Sakura's body now, almost like that of a Servant though... no, a Demi-Servant?" Sakura as she is now has achieved a level beyond the limits of a human being, being powered by the Divine Spirit Tiamat, even if a cursory examination of Sakura as she is now tells you that most of the strength of the Beast is restricted. That's... probably for the best. As she is now, Sakura wielding Tiamat's full power would rapidly destroy the world entirely by accident. "Tiamat. Primordial Goddess of Life. Beast II." You look up at the sky before you talk. "Well, the good news is that the Counter Force hasn't seen fit to bathe us in purging flames, so we must be doing something right. I guess that Alaya must not think this situation is dire enough for it to respond to it personally. So that's something." That alone tells you that Sakura ought to have control of the situation, at least for now, and even if she's unable to actually wield the power of Tiamat for herself. It might just be possible for her to learn how to wield the strength of the Beast for herself... Tiamat herself will likely much prefer the idea of being sealed within your sister instead of being sealed deep within the void of Imaginary Number Space. At least now, she'll get to observe humanity for herself without passively destroying them just as a result of her existence being a threat to them. "That... sounds like it might be a problem..." Saber looks at Sakura's sleeping body as you support it, you've hooked one of her arms around your shoulder and have an arm on her side in order to keep her in place. Saber is wearing a tremendously complicated expression as she hears the word 'Alaya'... Technically, Saber is still working under a deal from Alaya. Arcueid however doesn't seem to be so bothered by the potential danger that Tiamat represents... Why should she? Unlike everything else on the planet, as a True Ancestor, she wasn't actually created by Tiamat, her species was a creation of Crimson Moon Brunestud. "I'm sure it'll all work out alright, Saber." She really doesn't seem to be bothered by the primordial goddess girl.
"Shouldn't we at least try to wake her up before we talk about Sakura like she's not herself?" Shirou asks an innocent question, but it's a good one. If Sakura really has got Tiamat entirely sealed like your examination suggests, then it wouldn't be bad if you just tried to wake her up, would it?>Wake Sakura up now.>Reunite with the rest of your allies first.>Write-in...
>>4644900>olga isnt a beast, kinda, we don't know yet to be honest.>Kiara may exist but she is just a normal lewd nun on normal timelines i guess.Maybe, but I still want to be absolutely sure now that we have two fucking beasts running around. Better safe then accidentally caused the others to come into existence or some shit.
>>4644908>>Wake Sakura up now.
>>4644908>Reunite with the rest of your allies first.Let the poor girl rest.
>>4644908>Wake Sakura up now.We should probably check on our imouto see if she's feeling fine.
>>4644908sigh, we are just creating another kingprotea arent we?>Wake Sakura up now.We need to at least know how she is feeling.
>>4644900Fair chance it happens, A Grand Servant is summoned in response to Beasts, but Tiamat is currently sealed, I could only assume that Primate Murder is limited in some capacity that stops him from being considered a Beast>>4644891Olga and Kiara are like, babies at this point, Olga only became a Beast through some alien fuckery and Kiara only becomes a Beast through Moon Cell hackery >>4644892Tiamat's mud is similar to grail mud so the syringe is kinda scary, there's also the fact that Gilgamesh fucking hates Tiamat, if he notices she's inside Sakura, he would likely kill her
>>4644939Gilgamesh don't really hate tiamat personally, he even sounds respectful on his speech before using EA on her, at least on the game.Also, olga is 11 during case files so she may be 12 right now?
>>4644943then i guess Kiara is the baby, 4 years old max, we could probably bribe Moneybills with a mentorship for Olga and rescue Kiara after this is all over
>>4644947Sure, olga is actually quite a good person for a mage.Loli kiara is adorable.
30 minutes till I call.
doing some research right now, apparently Fate Strange Fake takes place in 4 years, I thought it was going to be set in 2018 for some reason
>>4644908>Wake Sakura up now.Hopefully Sakura is feeling alright.
>>4644908>Wake her up, gently. Call her name.
>>4644954Wait I have one question, do Noble Phantasms used by Shirou work on Dead Apostles?
>>4644972Depends on the Dead Apostle.
>>4644955The most interesting thing about stange fake is waver talking about how in less than a decade magicraft will be revealed to the world because its becoming impossible to supress all information about it.
>>4644983well yeah, cameras are everywhere now, its basically impossible to just hypnotize it away, magic is gonna die
>>4644983>>4644985One of the reasons I want to pick up Spiritron Hacking. As far as I know, Spiritron Hacking doesn't lose it's mystery as shit is revealed to the world and as magic dies.
>>4644985Or the mages can use their power to blast modern humanity back to the medieval era to stave off the issue for a few hundred years. They have both esoteric powers and fucktons of money.[But for that to happen they'd have to stop being technologically illiterate boomers and listen to Waver, and we all know that's not happening anytime soon]
>>4644985Magecraft is going to have to change on a fundamental level if it's going to survive.
You should wake her up. You need to know if Sakura has been affected mentally by becoming the living seal of Tiamat. You have no idea what actually might end up happening if Sakura were to die now. Of course, it's a morbid thought, but you can't prevent yourself from having it. Would Tiamat be able to possess her body entirely and set about destroying the entire world? It's a terrifying thought, and one that you were never going to allow to come to pass anyway. Of course, you're probably going to have to explain what happened to Rin, but whatever. You'll jump that hurdle when you get to it... Thought what if Sakura were to just... grow old and die of natural causes? Would that have the same effect? Or does her new duty as the keeper of a Beast grant her an unaging body? So many questions, and no way to actually get any answers for them, at least not until the girl awakens. You find a nearby park bench to sit Sakura down on, and begin to go about attempting to wake the girl up. First by gently trying to shake her awake, and then by whispering in her ear. Neither of the gentle approaches you try work, and just before you can do something a little more drastic, there's an extremely loud clapping noise as Arcueid claps her hands directly in front of Sakura's face, it nearly causes you to jump out of your skin, but it seems to do the trick. "Huh, I was hoping that would work." She looks down at the girl with her arms crossed. "Hey there, how are you feeling?" Arcueid's voice seems to have some concern in it, and Sakura blinks for a moment. Physically, there are absolutely no changes to the girl. That's probably for the best, Sakura might just implode from embarrassment if she suddenly found herself wearing Tiamat's outfit in a public place."I'm... feeling a lot better now. I... think I almost lost control, but... she's sleeping now, it looks like even the new power you gave me can't deal with her properly, Onii-chan." Your sister looks up at you with something of a frown. "I could hear her voice... She sounded so sad." Sakura says, the immense sadness felt by the Goddess Tiamat at her abandonment by her children clearly even affecting her a little, despite Sakura's personal ability to deal with her emotions being tremendous."Wait a minute... did you... talk to her?" She actually spoke to Tiamat? Whatever could they have talked about? You really don't know if it's a good idea for the girl to be listening to whatever it is that Tiamat might've tried to communicate to her. The goddess Tiamat is an entity that by her very existence is an enemy and a Threat to Mankind, only bad things could come from communicating with her, surely?
"Only briefly... I felt as if for a moment we were capable of... understanding each other's thoughts, so I don't really think I could call it a conversation, but she's not struggling to escape anymore." Sakura sighs. "I think that she... just wants to observe the world through me now... From the point of view of a human... I think." That's... surprisingly benign for Tiamat. Sakura then proceeds to get up and stretches her body for a moment. "It's funny... I feel a lot stronger than before. Like I could run a marathon without even becoming tired!" Yeah... that would be the result of her becoming something like a Demi-Servant. "Ah... yes, that's another effect of the presence of Tiamat within your body. As a result of containing such a powerful being, it seems that your body has been granted additional strength." You consider telling her for a moment that she now officially classes as a Beast Class Servant, but that might be a little too much for her to handle, especially if you explain just what a Beast is to her. "Just think of yourself like a type of Servant for now, though one with a human host in charge of all the power instead of a spiritual body." You decide to give Sakura the simple explanation."A... type of Servant?" She doesn't seem to be following along entirely with you here."That's right, though as you're obviously still alive and your magical energy production ability hasn't at all been hampered, you're more than capable of functioning independently of a Master, and of course, your contract to Rider hasn't been affected either." You then hug your sister, and she lets out squeak of surprise. "I'm so glad that you're alright, Sakura. That you're still... you. For a moment I thought that I had made a mistake I would never be able to forgive myself for." Of course, given what would've happened had Tiamat actually taken control of Sakura's body, you wouldn't actually have lived to regret the mistake. Even if Arcueid by herself was capable of stopping Beast II from destroying the entirety of humanity, you wouldn't survive being so close to a Beast awakening with its complete and full power, and neither would Shirou or Saber, unless Saber's Instinct gave her the good sense to activate Avalon before being obliterated by the energy that would likely also destroy the entirety of Misaki Town... You don't want to think about what might have happened anymore.I see..." Sakura seems to be a little overwhelmed by this news, but see seems more to be focused on her own thoughts at this point. Probably for the best.Arcueid remains ever cheerful as she speaks up. "So, what are we going to do now? Shall we head back or should we look for everyone else while we're out here?" You're glad that somebody decided to bring something else up though.>"We'll look for my allies out here. They might be in trouble (Who do you want to look for first?)>"We'll return to the mansion, they all should have done so themselves by now.>Write-in...
>>4645104>>"We'll look for my allies out here. They might be in trouble (Rin)
>>4645105>>4645104+1It's about time we farm those bond point
>>4645105Support. Time to increase that bond.
It was a pretty nice session QM.Poor Shinji. He tried so hard to protect Sakura but it seems it was just her fate to be a container for foreign creatures sloshing around inside her lol.Can't wait for Tiamat to be unsealed so Shinji has to kill his sister. Or maybe you intend for Sakura to lose her sanity somewhere down the line from Tiamat's influence? That could be fun too.
>>4645104I feel so much pity for tiamat, hope this gives her at least some chance of living with her children.>>4645105+1Also explain to her what just happened.Also ask arcueid if she would be able to defeat tiamat if she was released, i do doubt that honestly because humans.
>>4645104>>4645105+1
>>4645116I'd imagine killing Sakura would basically be a Mind of Steel type ending, you don't die, but you break mentally
>>4645121With how this quest is going so far I wouldn't be surprised by an ending like that.Ever since the beginning of the war Shinji has seen nothing but failure and humiliation.After the battle against vampires is lost some of his allies will be killed and some of them will be turned into vampiric slaves.I am sure QM has planned something big. Maybe Shinji will turn to Manaka or Alan for help. There will be a big buldup once more only to end up in failure again. It will be hilarious.
>>4645117You really don't want a scenario where Arcueid ends up going all out fighting Tiamat.Tiamat and all of the Life on Earth would be destroyed as a result
>>4645104Supporting >>4645105>>4644648Yes. This is awesome.
Tiamat is basically impossible to kill in the current setting without killing off every living being that proves her existence. Unless she can be yeeted into some other outer entity dimension to cut her off from her children that prove her existence.
>>4645125And here I thought you were doing pretty well!Guess some people's standards for "failure and humiliation" are just different from other people's, huh?
>>4645128Oh indeed. It would be interesting to see.From mars.
>>4645133Well everyones standarts are different I suppose. "Pretty well" lol.
>>4645139We are very well.i expected a lot more bad endings.
>>4645105+1>>4645133Doomsayers gonna doomsay I guess.I'd say we're doing pretty well when you compare the terrible fates suffered by people in canon compared to what we have achieved.Even if things are more complicated than we anticipated, I can't say I regret making the choices we did.
>>4645139I mean, all things considered, you've managed to do very well recently.Like sure, you've had a few missteps and blunders here and there, but I wouldn't at all say that it's been nothing but Humiliation and Failure. Shinji sees far more success than he sees failure, and he's not used to failing as a result of that.
Sakura changing with her diet like this is still pretty mild.If she was always in danger like this imagine her eating TATARI.At least now she has friendly Tiamat and her protection.
>>4645139What has happened is called failing forwards anon, it's an integral part of this thing called life, I don't expect you to know about it.
>>4645144>i now imagined sakura with kirby-tier copy ability>oh jesus christ
>>4645140>>4645142I was talking about overall situation rather than bad endings.We'll see if your opinion changes after assault on vampire base ends in defeat.>>4645144>imagine her eating TATARI.Nothing would have happened lol.Nrvnqsr was the only vampire who could have such an effect on Sakura and out of all vampires she ate him first lol.>>4645146That's true. I have never been alive after all.
>>4645153ok
>>4645153>That's true. I have never been alive after all.Roa's non-existent ghost haunts this thread.
>>4645133In fairness, in fact Shinji had a lot of moments Of awesome, from managing to save Sakura from Zouken, getting the people he’s fighting for under his banner, and working together, to more recently smoothly dealing with Roa and now the consonant person. At the same time the missteps he (we’re) making do hurt because the stakes are high, so any mistake or enemy action is All the more harrowing by striking near to heart, be it losing half of our friends to a force we have yet no idea how to oppose, exposure of Sakura to this kind of entities, or satsuki’s turning.I can see why someone would perceive those failures much more acutely than successes, especially when the successes are the baseline we’re aiming for.I’m looking forward to seeing the story as it unfolds.
>>4645104>>>"We'll look for my allies out here. They might be in trouble (Rin)Illya has Avenger and Sacchin her new powers at least but Rin is likely alone.
Oh, I forgot to add a skill on Sakura's sheet.
>>4645478>Luck: EXReminds me of that shitstorm on Awakening Mirror where anons thought Tsubaki's parameters were too op before she went on to lose every fight she participated in.
"We'll look around town for everyone first. Though I think we ought to look for Rin first of all, seeing as she's probably alone and this city is... horribly dangerous at night." Illya ought to at least have her maids and Avenger with her, and should hopefully at least be able to fend off an attack from one of the other Dead Apostle Ancestors that might still be in the town. With any luck, Mordred will refuse to cooperate with an attack out of spite for her Master. She already let a prisoner escape when she obviously wasn't meant to. Avenger already managed to get wounded by her Master, but with any luck, should he attempt to attack again, Avenger won't be caught so off guard. It occurs to you that you actually still need to ask Saber or Avenger about just how the fight went down so you can plan to defeat Rizo. Of course, Touko is creating a plan of her own to defeat her, but you really wonder just what sort of time manipulating ability the vampire might have access to. He was able to freeze Touko in place, after all, but that alone shouldn't have enabled him to take on two Servants at the same time and win. Especially not Servants as powerful as Saber and Avenger, maybe against some lower quality Servants, but those two are supposedly some of the strongest around. "Yes, if any of our allies were to be targeted, Rin would be our most vulnerable link. Of course, there wouldn't be much to gain from targeting her right now other than the potential elimination of one of the Masters." Saber muses. "Regardless of all that, we should hurry and find her, but where exactly might we be able to find her...?""Oh that's simple. Knowing Rin she's probably looking for the cheapest jewel sellers in town." You shrug. The Tohsaka are a ridiculously stupid family for deciding to use jewels as the focus of their magecraft, especially of a magecraft that destroys the focus. You understand the general concept behind how jewels can be used to amplify magical power, but you also understand that there are simply so many other ways to do that. So who in their right mind would pick the magecraft that is practically designed to slowly bankrupt you? Well, not like you could call the Tohsaka a family in their right mind. They were one of the three that agreed to create the ridiculous ritual that is the Holy Grail War.
You don't really hurry around Misaki Town as you look for Rin. You need to take a certain level of care as you look through the shops in order to make sure that you don't miss out on any obscure or well-hidden stores that Rin might find herself in, though after what feels like an hour fruitlessly searching for Rin, you can feel the tell-tale energy signature of a Servant in a store, a clothes store at that. They don't seem to be responding to the energy signature that they themselves must be able to feel, so you're uncertain just how to approach, who could it be? Mordred? Or one of the Servants that is in Misaki to hunt down the missing Masters and Servants? Doesn't anybody find it at all strange that there are over a dozen servants roaming around?>Go after the Servant with everyone.>Only take some of your allies to go after the Servant. (Which ones)>Just ignore it, you're looking for Rin right now.>Have Saber go on ahead and observe the Clothes Store, try to trick the enemy Servant into thinking you retreated.>Write-in...

>>4645495>>Only take some of your allies to go after the Servant. (Which ones)Saber, Shirou. If we go with a small group, we might be able to catch them off guard. I don't know if they can sense Arc, but she might cause them to run and I don't want to throw Sakura into a fight right now.
>>4645495>>Only take some of your allies to go after the Servant. (Which ones)Arcueid.Everyone else should go find Rin.
>>4645478WhatIs, it might a spoiler but given that we know Touko can seal and unseal skills and Tiamat had self-modification it is sate to assume that Sakura has it and since we already seen weird eyes during possession the more power will be unsealed the more Tiamatish Sakura will become in appereance?>>4645487I assume EX here represents Shinji.

>>4645506>the more power will be unsealed the more Tiamatish Sakura will become in appereance?In before Sakura gets Tiamat's boobs, since they're her most constant and defining feature in every form.
>>4645508He means that a big brother that will step in to save you is a very lucky thing to have.
>>4645495>Only take some of your allies to go after the Servant.>Arcueid, Sakura>>4645508She is very lucky to have such a reliable dashing brother.
>>4645495>>Only take some of your allies to go after the Servant. (Shirou, Sakura)Shirou has rule breaker, Sakura is strong and can't be sensed. That should take them by surprise
Thirty minutes till calling.

>>4645495Switching >>4645500to >>4645537>>4645542If we stay attached at the hip to Arc, we miss out on cool stuff like the Shinji, Shirou, Shiki, SHIKI team up fight though.

>>4645545Ah yes. All the cool stuff of being kidnapped, having our allies taken as hostages and having our sister possessed by a beast.
>>4645553>having our sister possessed by a beast.If we did the Shinji, Shirou, Shiki, SHIKI fight that wouldn't have happened. Or did you forget that only happened because we brought Sakura and Arc?
>>4645550>We really need mobile comunication to everyone.We've been trying, unfortunately Rin sees cell phones on the same tier as Ruby.
>>4645567I agree. Bringing Sakura was a mistake. We should have brought only Arc.>>4645495Take Arcueid.

>>4645499>>4645503>>4645544>>4645574Three under 3 post IDs who's first post is all voting for the same thing. That's not suspicious at all.
>>4645577>>4645578Sure thing. I am totally a samefag.
>>4645568We should ask EMIYA to teach her how to use one.
>>4645578Easy way to solve this.I'm gonna give each voter thirty minutes to confirm their vote.With the same ID they voted with.
>>4645582Not every voter mind you.Just uh.The one post IDs
>>4645582Confirm mine I guess.
>>4645583Nice catch, thought we were going to have a ForgottenQM Moment(tm) for a second there.
Its the second time samefagging comes up in the last two threads.Can't wait for the samefag witch hunts like last time.
>>4645596Indeed
>>4645582Can I confirm my vote if I have a different id now?I am on a phone and my id changed.
>>4645600explicitly no
>>4645604Alright.
So how long will it take us to charm Tiamat herself directly? Anybody want to take a guess?And if we were to went into Sakura's inner world again would that just be audience with Tiamat now?
>>4645608we would meltwe need specific special shit to survive on the sea of imaginary bullshit
>>4645600Your kind is not allowed here sorry.
>>4645608It might take awhile since WhatIs confirmed that going into the INS to truth a top hat onto Tiamat would be fashionable, but extremely dangerous.
>>4645613Thanks. Guess I just have to make a few posts and hope that my id doesn't change before the next vote begins.
>>4645626If you are a genuine voter, I do apologize.
>>4645628It's fine. It's just a quest.
checking to see if im gonna be called a samefag
>>4645626Man, I don't want to push out Genuine Voters, but fuck if we don't have people still trying to samefag shit. Just look at the string of 1 IDs at the bottom of this thread.>>4633940>>4645628I think I counted right, ignoring the dudes who never responded to you asking to confirm.-Send saber ahead>>4645497-Take Arc>>4645509>>4645574-Take Arc, Sakura>>4645524-Take Shirou, Sakura>>4645500>>4645537>>4645545>>4645539>>4645550

>>4645637Sucks to be you.Buy a PC poorfag.
>>46456404645550 is saying to take Sakura, Shirou and Arcueid. Why are you counting it with your votes?
>>4645648it doesn't say to take arcueid
>>4645648>>4645550 is saying Take Shirou and Sakura, tell Arc to wait and be ready if we call for backup. If it's that important, >>4645628WhatIs, would you count that as a >Take Shirou and Sakura vote or >Take Shirou, Sakura and Arc vote?
>>4645653Confirmed illiterate.
>>4645654It's a Shirou and Sakura vote while telling Arcueid to remain ready to back you up.Not to have Arc follow you in
>>4645658this is indeed my vote.
>>4645657>>4645658
>>4645658That's still a different vote isn't it?Taking Shirou and Sakura while sending Arc and Saber for Rin.Taking Shirou and Sakura while having Arc wait on us and sending Saber alone for Rin.
>>4645663its the same with some more shit added, the QM can take it as a Shirou and sakura only vote if he wants.
>>4645495>Only take some of your allies to go after the Servant. (Arcuied)Arcueid should easily be able to handle Mordred presuming it is Mo-san.
>>4645682Too late.
Sorry for the slow day today everyone, been very busy.
"Shirou, Sakura. Follow me, into the store. Saber, Arcueid, I want you to both stay here, you two have more easily noticeable presences. If you notice anything in the clothes store, be prepared to immediately help. Otherwise, act naturally, pretend to slowly walk away from the store." You don't want the Servant to get spooked and flee before you can actually do anything about them, especially if it actually is Mordred. This might just be your best opportunity to get Mordred on your side, Shirou as he is now should be able to Trace Rulebreaker and sever the contract of any Servant he can hit with it... so long as they don't have some sort of attack immunity like somebody like Heracles would have through God Hand."Alright. Let's go." Shirou seems to readily accept going without his Servant, though Saber isn't so happy about the idea. Letting her Master walk directly into danger must go against her oath, after all."But... Shirou, are you sure? Approaching an enemy Servant without your own Servant is a tremendously dangerous thing to do!" Saber reminds Shirou of something he already knows, and somehow it feels like she's also reminding you too. "I'll be fine, Saber. With the new weapons I can create thanks to Shinji's... memories, I think I'll be able to at least fend off a Servant if they attack. Besides, it's not like I'll be alone, I'm going with Shinji and Sakura, right?" You're happy that Shirou feels confident, and he's right, together, the three of you should be able to defeat most any Servant that shows up. Especially now that Sakura's body has been upgraded thanks to her becoming the host of Beast II. You don't think that process is something that is going to be reversible, not as you are right now. You don't think you have what it takes to take on Tiamat, an enemy capable of easily defeating even Gilgamesh when she's at her strongest and requiring a coalition of many different Servants of the highest level of strength in order to defeat her in the end, and even then they only managed to beat her because she was holding herself back from annihilating them all. With any luck you won't even need to reverse the process, and Tiamat will never decide to become an issue. So long as she's content within Sakura. "Alright, Shirou..." Saber doesn't sound so convinced, but doesn't seem to want to push the issue with her Master. Looks like she at least trusts you and Sakura to be able to prevent him from doing anything stupid. Well, she did just see Sakura easily consume an opponent with her magecraft that even she was having difficulty with, so that confidence in her allies isn't exactly misplaced. Still, it's nice to know that Saber is confident enough in each of your abilities that she is even willing to allow the idea of the three of you confronting a Servant without a Servant to support you. If Betty wasn't so unreliable when it comes to dangerous situations, you don't really know if you'd ever really take the same approach.
"Let's go, Sakura. You're not weakened or anything, right? You're not going to have difficulty using your magecraft now that you've become linked to..." You just want to confirm before you make any mistakes, but Sakura just gives you a reassuring smile."No, I'm... fine now. She's not struggling and trying to break free anymore, so I don't have to focus on keeping her within my world." She explains. "Though I don't know how she'll react if somebody is dragged into my world now... I can't imagine she'll take kindly to somebody else's presence." Sakura's reassuring smile loses some of its confidence as she thinks about the primordial goddess trapped within her. Hopefully she gets a little more used to Tiamat existing within her. Though it does seem that you've managed to find the limit to just how powerful the concept of nullification is, beings on the level of a Beast seem to be immune to it... or at the very least, immune to being completely destroyed by it.You enter the clothes store, holding your breath. This could very easily turn into a fight, and if you aren't careful, somebody could die! "What do you mean you don't think the color red suits me?" You hear the annoyed voice of none other than Mordred as she harshly questions somebody, probably some unfortunate receptionist. "I think this looks great!" There's a lot of confidence in the voice of the Saber class Servant, and you find yourself greatly relieved that it's her and not a more... hostile Servant."Y-yeah, I think you're right, Saber... You look great!" You hear another girl's voice respond to the temperamental Saber class Servant with trepidation. Wait a minute... Rin?!"Yeah, way better than the stupid dresses you picked out for me before, right?" Mordred laughs out loud as Rin makes a noise of agreement, though the magus is clearly in great fear of her own life. Just... what the hell is going on in here?! Why is Mordred going clothes shopping with Rin of all people? You approach the Servant and the fearful girl slowly, and peeking through the clothes racks, you can see Mordred and Rin clearly. Though Rin is carrying a basket full of clothing, and her eyes are darting back and forth, looking for an escape route from the enemy Servant.Mordred is wearing a short white tank top instead of a tube top like you might've imagined her going for, in addition to a pair of denim shorts. She's got a red jacket tied around her waist as some weird sort of fashion statement. She's also let her hair down and is wearing... a blue baseball cap? Is she aware that it's the middle of winter? You know that Servants don't really feel the cold, but still... an outfit like that is guaranteed to attract attention! And why is she with Rin?!

>>4645744>She hasn't seemed to have noticed the three of you yet, keep watchingI don't like this... much.Where is Rizo? Is he nearby?Is Rin being used as bait and hostage in one package?I don't like idea of her getting cut up if we announce ourselves.On the other hand, I'd rather not have misunderstanding where Shirou tries to shank her with the dagger and she guts him in self defense.>Get Shirou to be ready to draw the rule breaker
>>4645757Eh its fine. I usually just lurk anyway. Just had nothing better to do today so I thought I would participate.
>>4645746>Just go up to Mordred and ask her if she wants a new Master.I guess Mordred was left wandering the streets during the day, ran into Rin, saw that she is a Master and planning to bail from Rizo using her?She might has orders to search for us but it worth the risk.

>>4645793>HIV?pretty sure we can cure that with truth, probably.
>>4645744>Mordred is wearing a short white tank top instead of a tube top like you might've imagined her going for, in addition to a pair of denim shorts.

>>4645796No but seriously what do you mean by "test her"?
>>4645799I think he means gauge her reactions to us whether she's a doppelganger or perhaps hypnotized.Although I think we had sufficient readout of her mannerisms showing that she feels distressed. Whether it is because she knows Saber's master is around with a plan or because she genuinely hates shopping for clothes with powerful people she can't fully trust remains to be seen.
>>4645796>As an unfortunate drawback, almost all other forms of magecraft will also be nullified when used on Sakura, including spells beneficial to her.Yeah, I don't know about that.
>>4645805>Saber's master is aroundOh definetely. Why do you think I voted to just approach them?Maybe this time Sakura, Shirou or Rin will get taken hostage. They could also get killed or turned into DA for some additional drama.
>>4645805>I think he means gauge her reactions to us whether she's a doppelganger or perhaps hypnotized.Yeah, just to see if she is acting like herself.
>>4645746>Just go up to Mordred and ask her if she wants a new Master.Somehow this is much easier than I thought it would end up being.
>>4645813Of course. Walking up to her worked perfectly the first time so why wouldn't it work now?
>>4645807we are talking about rin not sakura
>>4645819Well in fairness it did serve to turn Mordred against her master to the extent where she is actively acting against his wishes and most likely cost him one, maybe even two command spells.
>>4645826Well hell, this is what I get for speed reading I guess. Please disregard my post then.
>>4645829>cost him one, maybe even two command spells.Leaving him with the exact number of command spells that he needs to force her to do something.Like breaking Rin's neck for example.
>>4645844That's a fair point desu.
>>4645844thats why rule breaker exists
>>4645844I'm about 85% sure Mordred ditched Rizo and thus we aren't walking into a massive trap but you'll be completely vindicated if Rin becomes a human folding chair in the next update.
>>4645873Mo's new class container: Undertaker
>>4645869I am sure Shirou can stab a Saber class servant faster than she can punch Rin's head off her shoulders.>>4645873I can't wait.
Again sorry for the delays.Just a very busy day
>>4645938Its fine dude. Just keep doing your best :)
>>4645938its fine, take your timealso, you are going to have mordred choice rin as master arent you?
>>4645938Write faster quest slave. Mush! Mush!
>>4645977Don't know if that's a good idea, she isn't a mana battery like us, she couldn't keep UBW up for too long
>>4645977Hope not
>>4645977I'm hoping for it.
>>4645989Illya would be a better match actually, she would be able to handle it and Avenger isn't a mana hog like Berserker was, at least i think?
>>4645992>>4645977Wouldn't Touko make a better master than Rin or Illya?
>>4646014No
>>4646014Oh shit now that's an idea.
>>4646014No we need a servant to defend rin since we're not probably going to pick archer as our 2nd choice to free from manaka.
>>4646014I didn't think of that, yeah use Touko lmao
>>4646014Touko wasn't a Master chosen by the Holy Grail. Of course, she's talented enough that she could easily forge her own Command Spells or set up a method for a Servant to exist independantly of the Holy Grail, but that would take her time
>>4646023Rin can't support two servants genius.>>4646016You don't want Rin you don't want Touko. Who do you want then?
>>4646023It's bold to assume we'll be getting any choices from Manakas at all considering we've received a toy that will likely put us into combat between her and Gilgamesh the moment we meet again.Either that, or double cross the golden boi.It would be better to work towards finding and liberating our allies without counting on Manakas' goodwill.
>>4646029Manaka
>>4646028How much time? If it isn't something unreasonable I would argue that it's worth it.
>>4646031That doesn't make sense, she only has eyes for king arthur.
>>4646035He didn't ask if it made sense.
>>4646031I totally support that. Shame that she is in a different town and we can't contact her.
Also, this hasn't really come up, but as the Servants are in stasis, their magical energy requirement is effectively non-existent. >>4646032A few weeks? Maybe a month?Touko is an excellent magus but you're talking a lot of preperation time here. This is the sort of stuff that would take even talented magi years of time to prepare.
>>4646030I forgot that gil's braclet auto activates yeah i agree we should probably avoid making more deals with the Manakas.
>>4646043Well that's way too long. I guess our only choice is Illya.
>>4646030>>4646047Bracelet only works if someone is wearing it. We could totally meet Manaka without it.
>>4646035Eh, Left Manaka didn't seemed to be more open to playing around and letting us get away with stuff, Right Manaka's attention was on Saber the whole time. >>4646043Didn't Doctor Heartless set up a fake grail and fake command seals pretty quickly.
>>4646051Yeah but it's doubtful he was making shit up as he went along. It's not the sort of thing you can improv.Touko would need a plan, especially if she didn't want to go for a method as convuluted as Heartless'
Just have sakura's ribbons nullify the bracelet. Easy peasy.
>>4646062Can't we just leave bracelet home when we go to see Manaka?It's not like it's part of our body.
>>4646062>>4646067We can, but odds are good this will count as double crossing Gil, considering how easily he walked in on us.

>>4644216They know all about the Altria Artoria debacle, but apparently cannot go against the will of The Mushroom.
You know what? It ended poorly last time you tried this, but that was only because her Master was actually watching her and giving her commands. You have no doubt in your mind that Rizo-Waal Strout is doing something he considers more worth his time than remaining in the shadows while he watches his Servant strong arm a human magus into giving her advice for clothes shopping, all while basically ignoring anything Rin suggests anyway. No, Mordred is either acting independently, or she's just taking her orders out of context and doing whatever she wants. "Saber! Rin! What a pleasant surprise to see the two of you getting along so well!" You emerge from behind one of the clothes racks and greet the two of them with a smile. "I do like your outfit, Saber. I think that it fits you very well." You compliment Mordred on her choice of clothes. "How are you doing? I hope I didn't get you into any trouble for letting me escape.""Trouble?" Mordred smirks. "Yeah. My Master was kinda disappointed that I let you get away, but the little runt with him with furious! Ranting and raving about making you understand how serious she was or something. She just called me stupid before she rushed off somewhere, I don't know what she was after, I thought she might've been planning on going after you, but I guess not." Mordred shrugs."Do you mind telling me what you're doing... in this shop?" You really want to get to the bottom of what Rin and Mordred are up to, it can't really be as simple as Mordred wanting clothes, can it?"Oh, that's simple, I'm shopping for clothes. I found uh..." She looks at the magus next to her for a moment as she tries to recall her name. "Rin...? Here, and so I decided that I'd have her buy some clothes for me." Mordred smiles at you, a fierce looking smile, and not really one that suits somebody with as fair an appearance as her. "But... why?" You basically plead with Mordred to give you some greater motive towards what she's up to instead of 'I wanted to go clothes shopping'"Because I didn't want to steal them, duh. I'm still a knight, so I can't just go around doing stuff like that! That's why I decided to have moneybags here pay for all my stuff." Behind Rin's layer of fear for the Servant lies a great fury at being used as some sort of living credit card. "Can't say I feel like she's got a great eye for fashion though, all the frills and useless bits of material. What's the point?" One of Rin's eyes seems to twitch with rage as she's called unfashionable by the last person on Earth to know anything about fashion."Yes, but why were you buying clothes in the first place? Isn't it night time? Shouldn't you be out with your Master?" You really want to know just what this girl is after. This doesn't add up at all!
"Nah. I got given my orders for tonight." Mordred frowns, before she suddenly grabs Rin, materializes her blade and puts it to the throat of the magus. "I'm really sorry about this though, you seemed alright." Rin goes as pale as a ghost as she feels the razor sharp edge of Clarent brushing against her throat. If she even attempted to struggle against Mordred's hold, she'd slash her own throat and bleed to death very quickly."Wait! Just... Just hold on, Mordred! What exactly are your orders?" You try to prevent the Servant from doing anything rash, and though Sakura clearly wants to attack, Rin being Mordred's hostage is more than enough to stay her hand.Mordred spits on the floor before she responds. "I'm to bring my Master the head of one of your friends by midnight, so he can give it to his Master, otherwise he'll use his two remaining command spells to force me to kill myself." Mordred looks disgusted by what she's being forced to do. "I'd have killed him for his bullshit if I thought I could." Her frown turns into an angry grimace. You... You can work with that! "W-wait a second! What if I told you that I could get you a new Master? Sever the contract between you and your Master, so you no longer have to do his bidding?" You plead with the Knight of Betrayal.Mordred hesitates for a moment, clearly considering your words very carefully, before her gaze fixes on you and hardens. "Prove it. Prove that I can trust you." Now, it seems that Mordred is the one pleading with you. While Mordred isn't the sort of person to really care about killing, being forced into being no more than an assassin is a terrible thing to do to a Saber, and a knight like Mordred at that.>"Shirou, show her Caliburn.">"Shirou, show her Avalon.">"Shirou, Show her Rule Breaker.">"Let Rin go first, then I'll show you.">Write-in...
>>4646149>>"Shirou, Show her Rule Breaker."
>>4646149Show her the Rule Breaker.That's the whole idea right?
>>4646149>>"Shirou, show her Caliburn."This is literally the only thing she wants
If we are to earn her trust do we show her the method of which we can sever her connection OR do we show her what she truly wants? What she seeks? Her wish?
>>4646149>"Shirou, Show her Rule Breaker."what would the other things even do in this case
>>4646149>>"Shirou, show her Caliburn."When we met her last time, she asked if we could get her Caliburn.
>>4646162we can only guess what mordred meant by "Prove that I can trust you." I can mean a way to server the contract or what she wants at the end of this
>>4646162she said to prove that she can trust us, we promised her Caliburn the first time we met, showing it to her now proves that we weren't lying at all and we were going to make right on that promise
>>4646149Well, Rule Breaker is the one we're going to be using to disentangle it, but does she know how it works?And Caliburn is the one she wanted, right?And Shirou can bring up two blades at once, can't he? so... >why not both?Although we should be ready for ambush regardless.
>>4646149>>4646159I'll change my vote to Caliburn since that's what she wants apparently.
>>4646167I think >>4646170 has the right idea. She wants to trust us, let's make good on what we told her last time.
>>4646149>>4646153I will change my vote to >>"Shirou, show her Caliburn.">>"Shirou, Show her Rule Breaker."Show her what she wants and what we are gonna free her with.
50 minutes till I call.
>>4646149>"Shirou, show her Caliburn."I mean SHE DID ask for us to give her Caliburn
>>4646149Shirou, show her Caliburn
>>4646183>>4646160>>4646149if we can do both we should do both, change to this
>>4646178you have a point. but >>4646174 has a even better one.>>4646163 i change my vote to >make sword autist bring both caliburn and rule breaker>also explain rule breaker to mordred
>>4646187>>4646183Actually y’know what. Changing to this. We can both give her what she wants and make somebody (likely us) her new master
>>4646149>>"Shirou, show her Caliburn.">>"Shirou, Show her Rule Breaker.">also explain rule breaker to mordred
>>4646149Sorry to change my vote again but I would like to switch from this >>4646175To this >>4646183
>>4646149>>4646183Supporting this.
>>4646149>>"Shirou, show her Caliburn.">>"Shirou, Show her Rule Breaker."Rin should be her new Master if we get Mordred. As long as Shirou is alive EMIYA is not to be trusted.
>>4646204>Rin should be her new MasterYou realise that the moment that the moment Archer gets released from Manaka's magic prison Rin is going to die from suddenly having two servants tied to her?Our only options are Illya and Shinji.
>>4646215What about Shirou? Wouldn’t he be able to support two Sabers as he is now?
>>4646219Shirou must have all the sabers.
>>4646215Didn't Rin have enough magical energy to boost Saber to her strongest? I'm sure Rin has enough energy to support two servants, in one of the bad ends in Fate Saber wanted to contract with Rin as a second servant when Shirou gave up early. If Rin needs a "boost" we have magical energy for days. I just don't want Rin to go unprotected until we free everyone, and when EMIYA would eventually betray us to autistically kill his younger self,
>>4646223>If Rin needs a "boost" we have magical energy for days.Got it, we need to do a mana transfer with Rin. But do you think we'll be able to convince her to use Ruby during it? I want to tug on her tail.
>>4646219I doubt that he can do that. Unless QM tells us we can't be sure either way.>>4646223Boosting a servant and supporting them completely are two different things.I also believe that Mordred takes more energy than Arturia but don't quote me on that.>when EMIYA would eventually betray us to autistically kill his younger selfCurrent Shirou is different from past Archer's Shirou.
>>4646223Servant can be tasked with accompanying someone else than their master, no? Although I guess they won’t have benefit of mental link for communication that way.
>>4646215We have 3 servants tied to us and its already slowing us down, we're not even gonna walk much less use a reality marble if we add one more. Illya is the only option>>4646223yeah but at that point, Archer won't be able to effectively use UBW and Mordred won't be able to spam her NP>>4646228I swear to God, this is gonna come up somehow, someone is gonna need a mana transfer I just don't know who
>>4646228>Teen pregnancy during the grail war!
>>4646219Shirou went from shit tier to "average" Magus as far as we can tell, that's nowhere near enough to handle 2 servants, he's doing better than expected if he can bring Saber to her peak
>>4646234>We have 3 servants tied to us and its already slowing us downIt isn't. Look here >>4646043As long as our servants are with Manaka we can temporarily contract more.
>>4646244yeah but what happens when we break them out? We have 4 servants now and we're gonna be drained, unless we decide to start having regular sex with someone or become a Dead Apostle
>>4646250>yeah but what happens when we break them out?That's not happening any time soon.As I said we can "temporarily" contract Mordred and then give her to someone else after we free our servants.In any case I would prefer if Mordred was contracted with Illya. She without a doubt has enogh energy to support Mordred.
>>4646183+1not sure if I voted this thread
>>4646236If only this would happen with Sakura...
>>4646257I just think we should give her to Illya now instead of down the line when we need break out our friends and we're half dying almost immediately after and can't do our cool reality marble stuff because we decided to be a master for 4 servants
>>4646289speaking of Sakura, isn't she also capable of having other servants? Magical Energy: EX and all, don't know how that'll work with her nullification stuff...
>>4646297How would that react with the whole MOMMY SEAL thing though?
>>4646300It won't do anything, Tiamat is effectively sealed and kinda chill, what you should really ask is if Sakura can actually be a Master since she can nullify magic, even beneficial stuff

>>4646363well, idk what you were expecting
Another update or is it safe to sleep?
>>4646406Update is coming.
"Shirou!" You call out to the boy still hiding out of sight and he quickly appears at your sight. "Saber here wishes for me to give her a way to trust us." Shirou tilts his head at you in confusion. "If you wouldn't mind, could you please trace Rulebreaker for me?" You smile at the boy. The dagger of contract severing may not be a well-known Noble Phantasm, but with any luck, Mordred will be able to see just what sort of ability the Noble Phantasm has just from a glance."Oh... right! Trace on!" Shirou says the activation lines for his magecraft, and within a second, a jagged ceremonial dagger has appeared in his hand. "This was what you wanted, right?" Mordred's eyes narrow as she looks at the dagger warily, but she doesn't let up her grip on Rin. Looks like you might just have to do a little better than Rulebreaker alone."That's not enough for me to really trust you..." Mordred sounds like she's a little confused. "I mean, it's an evil looking dagger, and it's exuding a foul energy. Why do you think that will make me trust you?" Mordred doesn't seem to have really picked up on just what exactly it is that you're trying to do. Well, that's not great. You were sort of hoping that all you'd need to do was show her Rulebreaker and then she'd allow you to stab her with it. You suppose it might've been possible to have Sakura sneak attack Mordred with her ribbons first, but you may have made a mistake here..."That is the dagger I intend to use to sever the contract of Servant and Master you have, but... I suppose that there is one more thing I could show you that might get you to trust me." You pause as you take a deep breath of air. You don't know if this is actually a good idea, but... "Shirou. Please... trace Caliburn." Mordred's eyes widen in surprise at the name of the Sword of Selection, and Shirou simply nods before closing his eyes and tracing a perfect copy of the sword, and once again, a sword has appeared in the hand of your friend.Mordred drops her sword to the ground, her hand quivering. Looks like that had the intended effect... but her eyes... her eyes are wild, and she throws Rin into a rack of clothing before she dashes forwards, grabbing Caliburn and snatching it from Shirou's hands before pushing the boy towards Sakura and causing the two to go down in a heap.
"Mordred! Stop!" You yell out in surprise as the girl takes hold of the Sword of Selection before she sinks it into the floor. "W-what are you doing?!" Mordred doesn't answer you, as she stops to take a breath. Just... what the hell is she doing? And then it becomes clear as she takes the handle of the blade once more, and pulls it triumphantly from the tile and brick floor. Re-enacting a legend as the true purpose of the Sword of Selection is activated. A sword created for the sole purpose of choosing a King. Mordred holds the sword in the air triumphantly, roaring in success as she does so, and as the blade reaches the zenith above her head, a shining white light engulfs everyone, a light of intense power! But... the purpose of the light... it's not meant to damage. The presence of a Servant that was Mordred disappears entirely within the bright light and for a moment you believe the Servant to have somehow been rejected by the Sword of Selection, and erased entirely for the sin of drawing it forth, but reality is quite a bit different, as when the bright light has cleared away, you see standing before you, clad in her full armor that seems to be more detailed than it was before... Mordred. Around her shoulders is a cloak of red fabric and pure white fur, and in her hands is Caliburn, though not quite the Caliburn it was before, the gold of the blade has changed to the same color of her armor, and the blue accents of the sword have become red. No, a single glance upon this sword is all you need to know that this sword... it is no longer Caliburn, and Mordred... Mordred is no longer a Servant.Status Updated!"Hehehehe" Mordred giggles slightly as she looks at the sword in her hand, then bursts into roaring laughter as she realizes just what has happened, and you can't believe your eyes. Severing the contract between Mordred and Strout... well there is no longer a need for that. The Sword of Selection has bestowed immortality upon one who was already dead, and as a result, Mordred is no longer a Servant at all. No, Mordred is a living human being now. The King of Britain, as chosen by the Sword of Selection. Mordred looks at you, and, without a single moment of doubt she states something quite surprising. "While my Father had Merlin to act as his adviser, I think that you shall be my own." She then smiles at you with the authority that only a true king could replicate. "If you accept the role, my... benefactor." Mordred sounds like she has a small amount of difficulty remembering the right word. Looks like she's still the same girl she was before.>Ask Mordred to explain what happened in detail first.>Ask Mordred what she's planning on doing now that she's no longer a Servant.>Accept Mordred's offer to become her adviser.>Decline Mordred's offer.>Panic.>Write-in...
