The Artorias are a special case
Competiton and food, two of the best ways to fire up Saber
Not surprised, they still have their dignity
You should see my family when it's time to eat
Huh, she would had been
I dunno, Avalon? Dragon Core shenanigans?
Oh, she is hiding something
That's some healthy paranoia, unlike the unhealthy paranoia she had before
Same, that's my type of vibe
I mean, she's not wrong
Why not do both?
A little too late for that
You should thank you have someone loaded
Yeah, that tracks, though I can see Saber Alter taking that tittle with pride
There's also that yeah
So this is a Berserker that probably fights like a Caster, Morgan is it you?
Then why did they accepted when they saw the address? Oh god, this was planned, this is a scheme from the cafe to take vengeance
Yeah, I can see that happening
That aso makes sense
I mean, Megumin still likes Kazuma but she isn't as much of a pervert as Darkness
She is totally into him
Ha! This is golden
She have a valid point
Ok, yeah, that's part of the curse to her, and Aqua I know you have a bias but don't encourage her
I mean, they weren't exactly wrong, just being assholes about it
Yeah, the fact he had to deal with this constantly is prove of his patience
Kazuma: Ugh, a robbery
Cu: *Grins* Oh, a robbery
He has a point
Never change Da vinci
I like how he thinks
Not surprised by this info, but surprised he decided to stop who I'm pretty sure is Billy The Kid
That makes sense to me, if a friend asked me to deal with a cult I would probably say "Son of a bitch, I'm in" but if it's a random thenno way unless he pays me
Yep, it's Billy
Oooooh, that should had burn
Tbf, I doubt many people can compare to you Mr "I am so good that my NP is my skill to shoot two times before my opponent attacks"
Yes, he would
Agree to disagree
Yep, that sums it up
Ikr, amateurs
Yep, can't think of anything but Drac witht he smartphone
Heh, classic
Wonder what he's planning
.... I feel a disturbance in the force
You probably will need that claim to be real
Oh, uh oh
Yep, that tracks
She is, a gremlin, adorable, incredibly funny idiot
I kinda wanna see
Huh, she is good
Correction, she ins incredibly good
He hit the food button
As long as you know the buttons to push
I'm not even surprised
No wonder he summoned Billy
*Don't fold don't fold fon't fold*
Time to judgement
Yes
This would probably give her leniency
Rin makes a valid point
You are telling me you didn't planned to do the same?
Here will come the gossip
Girl, look at the mirror before talking
Dust, good old Dust, just as cultured as ever
Not yet
Didn't he saved the city? Like multiple times?
Also all the charges against him were solved
Ok, that sounded racist, might affect a little how this come out XD
Yeah, that's what hurts more
I don't think they are hearing you anymore
That's never good to hear
This is why we don't leave them unsupervised
Not the moment Darkness they are having a panic attack
Oh, so this is what she was planning
This is good but there's one problem with this-
Dreams doesn't have copyright issues
Seriously man, I know Rin is gorgeous but be professional
Doesn't that count as bribing the judge? Why nobody is mentioning that
Using the fact that they intentionally agreed to go the house of people they already had problems before knowing very well how the last time went with one of them being considered an intruder by one of the residents and using it for a case against the succubus cafe for making fraud in the court? Who am I kidding, Rin isn't good enough at this to think of that
That's called hard stealth, search it up XD
He does, and that's a great Nickname
Too late, you are now Booty
I feel like a weird mixture of Gilgamesh and Shakespeare coming from him, I'm worried
Yeah, don't think reason will win this fight
Being honest, would react the same
Always bet on Billy for a quickdraw
.... I seeing red flags, crimson even!!
Oh god, this is gonna be like Vlad again
Huh, like a cowboy film
Shit, he used it
This makes me think of Edison NP
Oh, so following movie rules
Huh, I'm starting to like him
Something is something
You are sounding like my father, HA, like he ever would quit drinking
At least someone is enjoying herself
Wait a moment
This was the plan!?
She might be
You can't just destroy a manor everytime you have a problem!
I mean, it's a big country
No!
It is
Yep, she wants that with all her might
So using logic to get what you want, at least this is going to the right direction
Yeah, can't argue with that
Funny thing, this is how Kazuma felt
The irish victims are socializing
Yeah, that's part of the course with doing it with a celt
So drowning you in unrelenting bliss?
I mean, she also does it regularly
Wow, she is really into it
I mean, he has a point
She did something naughty~
Hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha
She knows, she was just into the prank too XD
I think you meant glow
Also FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
And we have the king of de-escalation in his home turf, look how he take care of the troublesome females
Normally wouldn't be a good idea, but this Fergus is celibate now, still getting used to it
He is just dealing with too much at the moment

Glad to hear. Feared it might have been seen as the deranged her in Romania
Same, but probably not the best type of plan
Multitasking is hard/ insulting him should be done with full focus
True.
....Robin is her sugar momma?
Due to being an alter or to mess with Artroira? Or both?
Not this time.
Wouldn't you take vengeance if three crazy adventurers bothered your bussiness?
Indeed
Indeed
No one is as much of a pervert as Darkness...except maybe Kiara?
Yep
Petty Darkness is a joy to write
Very...
You think Aqua wouldn't approve of blowing up succubi? Eris too if no collateral.
Maybe....
Her trial is only beginning.
Probably the Express' reaction too
Silly as it is
She probably won't
...Wonder if that will be an event in the game someday?
You are right.
Plus the Rappa angle...I am tempted to have her join in too, but writing her would be...
Yep
It did
How does that fare vs Servants though? I assume protection from arrows still works
Surprised you didn't mention the minor Fate abridged ref xd
They probably wont
hehe
Completly...though tbf, Grady was more bad horror movies than anything else, so Westerns are probably alien to him.
Drac?
Yeah
'Oh you'll find out, cause he's about to summon them!'
As intended
He does, but he is a gag character. he survives based on that alone.
Yeah...
Also yes
100% yes
Not as great as you think.
Indeed
Incredibly indeed
Muffin button/ shouldnt have done that
True
Aww
I thought it fitting or at least grounds for a good time
Do it...fold like a chair
She does, but this is the Belzerg courts
Does that make it less annoying?
Indeed
She tries not to...the armor has high stats
Wouldn't be Dust otherwise
Just got to think of a good moment for it
Yes, but he did also destroy part of the city in solving a problem his party caused
Huh....it did.
Took her money and didn't give her a good time. Least the church hot line fulfilled that promise
They aren't.
It'll get worse
Tbf, the bot wasn't programmed for those three
But she's having a joy attack
tbf, Darkness would love the plan.
Yeah....
Yeah....
Why not professionally petty? Besides, I am sure a few guys will be going there right away
If you were the judge, would you complain?
I know you probably aren't looking for a serious answer, but the cafe could say the new hire was unaware or there was snafu that day due to being busy
You mean fun?
Not for him
He will never accept those terms
A fairly good description I think of Grady
It never does
Same
Wouldn't other outlaws give him a hardtime for that title? Or Wyatt Earp's history of not getting shot?
Calm down Piccolo...but you are right.
Yep
Wouldn't a Grail War unless everyone used their np at least once
Kinda...I'll have to touch on it more in another chapter
Yep
Glad to hear...
Indeed
That's a little dark. You alright?
Might be worrisome if she wasn't.
You caught it
It is!
I think exasperated might be the better term.
....Why not?
It is but...
It is also one of the few places where they would hesitate sending law enforcement to
Only for demons and Eris cultists...most of them anyway
Yep
She does make a point
Unfortunately for her
I thought it would be a nice touch
Irish Dub Con Anonymous
Have some faith in her sensabilities...
but you're right
Did you expect Leysritt to say no?
I did, and I thought I changed it already...I'll double check
Not so much deescalate, as incapacitate.
In probably the most challenging place. I'm sure the succubi cafe would be less prone to misunderstandings
Very much so

Nah, I know the difference since I have the healthy one wich is being aware that anything can go wrong, meanwhile the unhealthy one is thinking that everyone is against you until proven otherwise
But still the most comfortable to do XD
I see *Says a man whose ADHD make him multitask in everything*
When you think of that, yes
Both XD
Also Saber Alter is a known fan of fast food, you can see her eating burgers usually
Yeah, that makes sense-Did you say this time!?
Never said they were on the wrong, if anything, I respect the game
I would say Medb, Kiara is another whole beast(Hah, get it?) and is more Psycho tthan Pervert, though she is also a massive pervert but you get me
Completelly
I can see it XD
Rin should just embrace the degeneracy at this point
Yeah, those goddess hate of any kind of demon would make Frieren and the Doom Slayer proud
Probably would had better done it when not in the same place as the crazy bomber of Axel XD
Indeed
They follow the America Wizard mindset
I mean, I know I would want to rob a train in space
And we love her for that
I mean it sounds funny
They just fit so well
I know what you mean
Knew it
Well alongside his NP that basically guaranteed a shoot in the hearth and one in the head before the opponent can attack he also has a Skill wich from what I remember allows to do quickshoot faster and more precise, I would say that with a higher level of Protection of arrows(Or the modern variant wich I'm pretty sure is called Bulletproof treatment) or a high enough look(Artoria's level) to block one of the shoots, both of em if you want to block or dodge both
Though the NP doesn't make them actually a instant death it's just a sure hit but some servants can just shrugh it off
Ooooh, how didn't I noticed the Shirou patented phrase XD
I was more on the "I'm not a bomb" from Artoria, because she has been very trigger happy recently, it will probably fade when she calms a little, these few days had been stressfull for her
Hmm, Horror vs western, sounds like an interesting concept for a movie
The Hotel transilvania Dracula, you know the one who had a pretty goth daughterand always gets annoyed when someone imitates him saying "Bla bla bla"
Oh yeah
I see XD
So true
Still wanna see
We really are never getting out of the Abridged XD
It does
Nooo, oh fuck it, I will do as Gambit says, "I don't fold I go ALL IN"
Fair enough
No,no it doesn't
Makes sense, of course they would make Bikini enchanted armor lol
Indeed, and we love him that way
Makes sense
What about the destroyer incident? He didn't actually did anything wrong there
Unintended/unknown racism is the most funny racism
So true XD
It always does
So true, nothing is prepared for those three
I can see that
Yeah, she would
True, heh, we had the casual petty and the competitive petty, but they aren't prepared for professional petty
No, but at least I would hide it better
That technically would still count as negligence, huh, who would had thought that all those lawyer series that my aunt likes to watch would give me perspective
That too
Well sucks for him I gues
He doesn't need to
Why thank you
Never
It all comes to fame, Billy the kid is probably the most famous outlaw from what I remember, so that gives him and advantage
They need to DOOODGE
It would be a pretty lackluster one otherwise
It's a pretty similar design
It's just surprisingly charistmatic
Somewhat sick wich takes out my little dark self
True
Knew it XD
Tbf, you need to be at least a little crazy to be part of the moonlight world
You will get out of accessible manors to burn and then what will you do? Burn a house? Is not as cathartic as a manor
...Not worth it
XD
She does
Poor Rin
It was
Pffff
Was I wrong?
That's what I thought
Never
Huh,well, we'll see
Incapacitation is still a form of Deescalation
Yep. poor Fergus, your sacrifice won't be in vain

Archer looks down at the blonde man in a colorful coat drinking coffee; someone else sits with him, but their face is obscured by an umbrella.
'Strange…Did not think this Aventurine would be so…relaxed. I would think his servant is powerful, but given the mostly safe nature of this war, I doubt it is anything to worry-' Archer stops and stares when Master and Servant stand up.
'Oh God…' Emiya thinks before noticing TV screens on the street zipping through footage like someone hit the fast forward button.
'That can't be good either…'
===
"…I still don't think running into the same trap Boothill and Billy did is a good idea." Kazuma says.
"Loath as I am to agree with it, a little information gathering would be wise." Artoria says, making Kazuma's brow twitch at being called a thing.
"Sometimes it's not about making wise decisions, it's about making a choice you won't regret." Stella says with a raised clenched fist and a smile.
Kazuma looks at her blankly.
"…What the Hell are you talking about?"
"Trailblazing!" Caelus says with fists on his hips. Stella copies the pose a second later.
"…Are they drunk?" Kazuma asks March.
"No, but I can see why you would think that without context." March says while dressed in a red and black fighting outfit with white thigh high leggings that leaves just enough thigh to be eye catching while brandishing two short swords.
'…She really does make any outfit look good.' Kazuma thinks before seeing March catch him looking.
"…I really hope this isn't what Artoria was talking about."
"What slander did she say?"
"No slander, just the truth." Artoria says while looking at the mascot of the park, a smiling anthropomorphized clock in shorts.
"That would be a first."
"Because your morals are beyond reproach?"
"I agree, he's terrible." Stella says, shocking them both before she continues.
"He still hasn't shared those pictures!"
"I'll show you later when the blue thing isn't around." Kazuma says, making Artoria draw her blade.
"…How have you lived this long after antagonizing a Servant?" Dan Heng asks.
"Long, colorful story…it starts with white~." Cu says with a grin while meeting Artoria's glare.
"I wouldn't mind hearing the details!" Da Vinci says with a smile, making Himeko sigh.
"…Maybe you should apologize to her? She doesn't seem to like whatever happened before." Medea suggests, making Artoria glance at her.
'I don't hate her suggestion but…There is so much wrong with her of all people saying that.' Artoria thinks.
"…Can I see it too?" Caelus asks.
"You're not old enough." Stella says with a grin.
"We're the same age!"
"I'm a minute older!" Stella says with crossed arms.
"But a minute has passed so-" Caelus stops when he sees the screens at the theme park entrance flicker before showing Grady and Skott, now unarmored, smiling at them.
"Guests of the Express, I welcome you…to your doom!" Grady on the screen says.
"Awww, too scared to greet the Galactic Baseballers in person?" Caelus asks.
"There is no need to greet worms in person…" Grady says while adjusting his cap.
"Or, better yet, dogs~!" Skott finishes with a wide smile. Stella looks at the screen in confusion before raising a hand to her chest and looking at Skott with sincerity.
"…Are you my Servant?" She asks in a loud voice, making everyone present sigh, cup their head, stare flatly, or in Da Vinci's case, smile.
Grady looks on puzzled.
Skott silently gasps, before shaking with anger.
"Did you forget who I am?! After everything in Arum Alley, and that contest where you resorted to food poisoning and hacking IPC mechs!?"
"She did what with food?" Artoria asks.
"It was horrible! They told me it was tradition on the Loufou or something, and me and my men couldn't fight! And that was before the mech hacking! Do you have any idea how much hazard pay we had to give that mech pilot and grunts?! I couldn't show myself around the office for months without hearing snickering!"
"Don't be silly Sean, they snickered long before that!"
"My name is-Grrrrrrrr!"
"And I didn't poison the food or hack the mechs, friends did that Mr. Grrrr!" Stella says.
'The Hell kind of friends does she have?' Kazuma wonders as the guy on screen starts foaming in the corner of his mouth.
"Wait, wasn't this the guy that congratulated you for that?" Caelus asks.
"Don't remind me…the respect he showed me that day still makes me feel slimy…" March says.
"I'll make you feel slimier yet!" Skott says.
"You can't, that's my job!" Stella says, making March grimace.
"…I can respect eagerness, but that is simply crass." Da Vinci says.
"That's not what I-"
"Leave the dialogue to me Master…"
"You're right…no one will hear their screams!" Skott says as Grady raises his arms, a puff of smoke appearing some distance from the group as Skott and Grady emerge from the fumes.
Stella brings out her quill, Caelus his hat, and the others there weapons.
As Stella begins writing in the air, she vanishs.
Then do Caelus and March, followed by Dan and Cu.
Da Vinci gasps.
"A…multi faceted Reality Marble?!"
"You deduced the nature of my Noble Phantasm?!...No matter, even knowing it will not save you from the 'Silent Horror Picture-!" Grady falls to a knee when Artoria appears and cleaves through him. He looks at her with a smile.
"Show!"
Artoria vanishes and so do the others.
Skott laughs happily.
"My dream is within reach! And the fact they are all suffering makes it better!"
"Indeed! Let us celebrate with popcorn as we watch their suffering in their own personal Hells!"
===
'This is Hell…' Rin thinks as she looks over the details of the letter and their reparations.
10 million Eris, and loss of the manor until it is paid off.
"…Are they any jobs with high payouts?" Rin asks and Darkness smiles.
"That don't include dragons, hydras, or similarly huge monsters. I'm still only level 3 remember?"
Darkness frowns.
"Unfortunately those are the only ones with a significant pay…The rest are fine for daily expenses but…" Megumin trails off and Rin sighs in understanding.
"Let's….just start with some quests…Any more toad hunting?" Rin asks.
"That's usually common this time of year. Let's go to the guild." Aqua says and they head over to the guild to see Luna, the blonde receptionist of the guild, taking down posters.
When they get closer, they see it is for the toad hunting quest.
"Isn't there still a few more weeks until they go into hibernation?" Megumin asks.
"Yes, but they recently been displaying odd behaviors…notably an aversion to the color… red." Luna says before looking at Rin.
"Wait…you don't mean…"
"…They've been moving away from the neighboring area so there is no need for quests…Uh….congratulations?" Luna says with a smile while scratching her cheek.
The party is looking to the floor, their ennui renewed.
"…And I liked your idea of using bait too…" Megumin says.
"There has to be another quest we can do…" Rin says while looking at the board.
"Experiment for magical durability, no…Hydra returned to a lake, definitely no for now at least, internship at the succubi c- wait a minute, what the-?!" Rin rereads the last one in shock.
"This is just a job posting!"
"And one we cannot apply for…" Darkness says, pointing to a bit at the end, saying Arch priestesses, Arch-Wizards, Crusaders, and depraved Sword Masters in red need not apply.
"I wasn't going to apply, and I am not depraved!" Rin says while tearing the poster in half.
Luna calmly puts a new one up.
"There are gathering quests…including for a rare types of plants that only grow this month. I'm sure that can help you." She says while handing Rin a flier.
"Oh, thank you…but I have to ask, why the help?"
"I've known Kazuma and his party for awhile, and they helped us out of some bad situations…even if they did cause some of them, and I can kind of commiserate with you over a lack of options…" Luna says with a pained grin before going back to work.
'…Not sure what she means by that, but I'm not going to press her on it. For now let's go-oh my!' Rin looks at the poster more closely and nearly drops it.
5,000 Eris a herb.
4,200 for a bag full of grass
10,000 Eris for a mushroom.
Rin smiles along with Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin.
Then she frowns with one nagging revelation when she sees other groups avoid other copies of the quest on the board.
'…If this is such a lucrative quest, why is no one taking it?'
===
Billy finds himself shackled in a prison cell as a tray of food is slid his way.
It is a chuck of meat, burnt on one side, under cooked on the other, with a bit of mold on a corner. The mashed potatoes look lazily mashed with dark spots, and a cup of old, cold coffee.
"Enjoy your final meal, scumbag. Hangman's waiting for you."
===
Da Vinci is awake before the alarm rings. She waits a minute before shutting it off and going to begin her day.
A quick breakfast, shower, and overly strong cup of coffee that reminds her of something, but she is not sure what.
She shakes off the feeling and goes to work at the gas station, making sure to bring her warm coat for the cold winter day ahead of her of filling up people's cars.
===
Boothill walks down the hall on one foot, the other gone now, two gun barrels jabbing into his back until he is forced into a seat and strapped in. A feat proven oddly awkward since his cyborg arms were taken off, as well his lower mandible.
A headset is tied to his head and a paper with a script is presented for him to read from.
"Welcome to your first day in the IPC hotline."
Boothill would scream if that vocal function was available to him.
===
Himeko looks in vacant eyed horror at the ruins of the express before her now. The time she gave to repair undone in seconds, and she is stranded on desolate planet without anyone alive, and only with rusty metal parts and duct tape for her endeavor.
===
"Enjoy your stay, traitor." A jailor says before throwing Dan Heng inside.
"I am not Dan Feng! That was my past life, I am-" The click of a crossbow bolt aimed for his head silences him.
===
Stella runs down the alley way, the sound of a dozen skipping steps in wooden sandals not leaving her ears.
"Why the rush, Gray Hair? Don't you want to play a little longer? It's not like you can escape~."
===
Caelus is unable to stop himself from swinging his bat into Pom Pom's face.
A voice resonates in his head, the words foreign, but the meaning clear enough.
"Good…now the rest…as per my will." Nanook says in monotone.
===
The priest smiles his lightless smile as Cu returns, a fresh coat of blood on his spear.
"What do you have to report, Child of Light?"
===
"Wow…some are dark, and March 7th's is missing, but seeing them squirm is so delightful!" Skott says.
"To be expected Master, my Noble Phantasm gives me pertinent biographical information, thus allowing me construct the ultimate personal horror experience! I believe a term for it 'Reality Marble' but I believe mine has more nuance…That said, I am disturbed that the pink haired one is…missing…I'll find her later, for now onto the next one!" Grady says as Skott takes a sip of Soul Glad soda.
On the screen is Medea Lily, covered in blood, standing over two small cloth covered bodies, still smiling the same sweet smile before laughing happily.
"Oh thank goodness! I thought it would be so much worse…at least Jason is still alive…by the way…" She trails off before looking right at Skott and Grady.
"How much longer are you going to keep me here you dilettante of a Caster?"
Skott stops sipping and Grady pales before coughing into a fist and changing the channel.
"There's something deeply wrong with that one…" Grady mutters, making a note to change aspects of her filming experience before gasping at the sight that is on the screen.
===
"So…any of you know what these plants and herbs do to get such a high price tag?" Rin asks the trio.
"I do not." Darkness says.
"I've seen a similar grass like this back home but…" Megumin takes a bit of grass and chews on it before spitting it out.
"Different kind, too sweet..."
"You didn't know about them when you took the quest?"
"I was looking at the reward value…"
"How greedy…but I can't fault you for that yet. As for the grass and herbs, they are highly sought after by chefs and potion makers for both their taste and calming effects."
"And why is the herb that is worth twice as much?" Rin asks.
"Basically magical pot…but I don't think that's why it was so valuable." Aqua says and Rin drops her bag of herbs.
"…I'm in debt to succubi, had my reputation ruined upon arrival, and have become a drug mule to get out of said debt…how can bs second life get any worse?"
"But you ruined your reputation all on your own." Aqua says, and Rin raises a glowing fist, only stopping when a loud roar is heard nearby, making all four women freeze.
"…What was that?" Rin asks.
"I…Oh no…" Aqua mutters as Megumin looks over the poster and turns it over, her pale cheeks hitting a new shade of white.
"…We're in Rookie Killer territory…"
"Amazing~!" Darkness pants out as two giant black cat like monsters emerge.
"I don't suppose you know lurk?" Aqua asks and Rin remains silent.
"We should-" Aqua stops when she sees Rin smiling.
"…How much are the skins of these glorified house cats worth?" Rin asks with a glint in her eye as she raises her sword.
'Oh my me, she's crazy with greed…'
===
"Who's Hell is this? The blonde knight's or that other guy?" Skott asks.
"…I do not know. They are both here."
"What? But I thought your Noble Phantasm separated people? A 'divide and conquer' thing!"
"It does…but it still allows for the spirit of resistance, so person's with exceptional will who also know it is an illusion can fight back…or if they possess exceptional luck."
"…Is the Saber class known for it's luck?"
"Some are, but I suspect her magical resistance is playing a part too…and the fact she has reunited with someone is proof of that…but that doesn't explain the young man, he is not a-" Grady says before seeing the blonde knight raise her sword at the young man in green.
===
'So…this is my personal Hell?' Artoria and Kazuma think while looking at the other.
Then Artoria raises her blade.
"I'm not a figment of your imagination." Kazuma says while raising a hand towards Artoria.
"Sounds like something a fledgling night terror would say." Artoria says, tightening the grip on her hilt.
"Now I know it's the actual Artoria. No film director could get that pompous tone down pat."
"Oh, it is you…" Artoria says, blade still raised as she considers the situation.
Then laughter rings out. They both look to the side and see a twin tailed girl in red with a mask on the side of her head approach with a skip.
"My apologies, I didn't expect to meet anyone else in this not so grand illusion. Least of all two who want to kill each other."
"Who are you?" Artoria asks with a frown.
'Great, another dark haired girl in red with twin tails…' Artoria thinks.
"Just a friendly passerby caught up in this…Grail War, was it?"
"If that's the case, then why are you here?" Kazuma asks, making the girl tilt her head.
"You don't know? I suppose not…you seem…to be from far away like blondy here. Come take a look at this." The young woman says, gesturing to some TVs behind a glass. On the screen are the other members of the Express and other random people in various scenes of terror and despair.
"What in the- Is this…a Noble Phantasm?" Artoria asks.
"Nothing noble about it…Seems the author of this little thing has people trapped in a little reality of their own."
"Then why are we unaffected? Her I get, but you and me?" Kazuma asks.
The young woman tilts her head.
"…What is your path?"
"What kind of question is- wait…" Kazuma recalls something upon his arrival.
"I…think I am on Elation?"
"That explains it." The woman says with a big smile, drawing puzzled looks from Artoria and Kazuma.
"Each Path manifests itself differently in each person, but they all typical become stronger than the average person as well as a few little perks…One of Elation's perks is a fair bit of resistance to illusions and other mental trappings like this; Harmony too." The woman says before showing her phone, showing her own path.
They also see Command Seals on her hand, prompting both Kazuma and Artoria to take a step back.
She giggles.
"Oh relax, if I wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't have explained that, now would I? Besides, my Servant seems as vulnerable to this Noble Phantasm so I would need to burn a seal to get him out, and I am unsure he would stay out, so I suspect need your help as much as you need mine."
"That…is fair…but what is your name?" Kazuma asks
"You can call me Sparkle~."
===
Rin returns to Axel standing on top of the two bodies of the Rookie Killers as Darkness pulls the cart with a smile.
It took a lot of convincing to make Darkness not put the horse bit in her mouth.
'My luck is turning around…16 herbs, 10 grass bundles, and 50 mushrooms equals a million! And that is before whatever amount these things will bring in! Not to mention the complete reversal of my reputation now!' Rin thinks with a smile as she hops down and finalizes the quest, smiling with full radiance at hearing each Rookie Killer is worth a million.
'3 million in one day! We should go hunting these things again! We can ay this debt off in a week before any interest incurs!'
"Excuse me!" A young man with dark hair in armor waves at her, two women following alongside him.
"Yes?"
"Are you the one that killed those Rookie Killers?"
"It was a party effort, but yes."
"Amazing…to be a Sword Master and able to vanquish such a monster already…Would you consider joining my party? My name is Kyouya Mitsurugi."
===In another timeline===
Emiya blows into the harmonica, making the guard at the front bang his head on the desk before walking over.
"This is…the 19th time today."
"Won't be a 20th if you let us out." Emiya says before continuing to badly play a blues tune before it is taken again.
"Do you really need to trouble the guards so? They are just doing their job." Shirou Kotomine asks.
"So were we."
"…I am mostly certain I stabbed Darnic for joyful reasons."
"Mostly certain?" Emiya asks with a smirk.
"I am trying to maintain some level of-" Shirou stops when a Darnic looking doll is thrown his way.
"…Do you really think I would just grab that?"
"What if I told you I dabbled a bit in voodoo and the real Darnic would feel every stab and twist?"
"I wouldn't believe you. If you could do that, then why all the swords and arrows?"
"Only works if I know the target to a certain level. Usually don't have the time so an arrow to the heart suffices."
"…So why didn't you use it on yourself?"
"Because it would also affect me, and in most cases the other me has Avalon, giving him increased healing. But the real question is, does it actually affect Darnic?" Emiya asks with a grin before tracing another harmonica.
The guard up front sighs as a rip appears in front of him.
"Hello again! It's me, A-"
"I don't care who you claim to be, I am not taking the word of an inter-dimensional rip in the air to let two murders out of my jail! Especially one that uses Eris as a character witness!" The guard shouts before feeling his blood pressure with the sound of another harmonica playing.
Then a bag of money lands on his desk.
"…Did you actually get bail money for those two?"
"Yes!"
"How?"
"I got it from a corrupt bank that was going out of business soon! There's also a little extra for your early retirement~." Alaya says with lilt. The guard was about to deny taking such a blatant bribe until another misplayed note is heard.
He leaves the cell keys on the desk and takes the money.
'Strange…Did not think this Aventurine would be so…relaxed. I would think his servant is powerful, but given the mostly safe nature of this war, I doubt it is anything to worry-' Archer stops and stares when Master and Servant stand up.
'Oh God…' Emiya thinks before noticing TV screens on the street zipping through footage like someone hit the fast forward button.
'That can't be good either…'
===
"…I still don't think running into the same trap Boothill and Billy did is a good idea." Kazuma says.
"Loath as I am to agree with it, a little information gathering would be wise." Artoria says, making Kazuma's brow twitch at being called a thing.
"Sometimes it's not about making wise decisions, it's about making a choice you won't regret." Stella says with a raised clenched fist and a smile.
Kazuma looks at her blankly.
"…What the Hell are you talking about?"
"Trailblazing!" Caelus says with fists on his hips. Stella copies the pose a second later.
"…Are they drunk?" Kazuma asks March.
"No, but I can see why you would think that without context." March says while dressed in a red and black fighting outfit with white thigh high leggings that leaves just enough thigh to be eye catching while brandishing two short swords.
'…She really does make any outfit look good.' Kazuma thinks before seeing March catch him looking.
"…I really hope this isn't what Artoria was talking about."
"What slander did she say?"
"No slander, just the truth." Artoria says while looking at the mascot of the park, a smiling anthropomorphized clock in shorts.
"That would be a first."
"Because your morals are beyond reproach?"
"I agree, he's terrible." Stella says, shocking them both before she continues.
"He still hasn't shared those pictures!"
"I'll show you later when the blue thing isn't around." Kazuma says, making Artoria draw her blade.
"…How have you lived this long after antagonizing a Servant?" Dan Heng asks.
"Long, colorful story…it starts with white~." Cu says with a grin while meeting Artoria's glare.
"I wouldn't mind hearing the details!" Da Vinci says with a smile, making Himeko sigh.
"…Maybe you should apologize to her? She doesn't seem to like whatever happened before." Medea suggests, making Artoria glance at her.
'I don't hate her suggestion but…There is so much wrong with her of all people saying that.' Artoria thinks.
"…Can I see it too?" Caelus asks.
"You're not old enough." Stella says with a grin.
"We're the same age!"
"I'm a minute older!" Stella says with crossed arms.
"But a minute has passed so-" Caelus stops when he sees the screens at the theme park entrance flicker before showing Grady and Skott, now unarmored, smiling at them.
"Guests of the Express, I welcome you…to your doom!" Grady on the screen says.
"Awww, too scared to greet the Galactic Baseballers in person?" Caelus asks.
"There is no need to greet worms in person…" Grady says while adjusting his cap.
"Or, better yet, dogs~!" Skott finishes with a wide smile. Stella looks at the screen in confusion before raising a hand to her chest and looking at Skott with sincerity.
"…Are you my Servant?" She asks in a loud voice, making everyone present sigh, cup their head, stare flatly, or in Da Vinci's case, smile.
Grady looks on puzzled.
Skott silently gasps, before shaking with anger.
"Did you forget who I am?! After everything in Arum Alley, and that contest where you resorted to food poisoning and hacking IPC mechs!?"
"She did what with food?" Artoria asks.
"It was horrible! They told me it was tradition on the Loufou or something, and me and my men couldn't fight! And that was before the mech hacking! Do you have any idea how much hazard pay we had to give that mech pilot and grunts?! I couldn't show myself around the office for months without hearing snickering!"
"Don't be silly Sean, they snickered long before that!"
"My name is-Grrrrrrrr!"
"And I didn't poison the food or hack the mechs, friends did that Mr. Grrrr!" Stella says.
'The Hell kind of friends does she have?' Kazuma wonders as the guy on screen starts foaming in the corner of his mouth.
"Wait, wasn't this the guy that congratulated you for that?" Caelus asks.
"Don't remind me…the respect he showed me that day still makes me feel slimy…" March says.
"I'll make you feel slimier yet!" Skott says.
"You can't, that's my job!" Stella says, making March grimace.
"…I can respect eagerness, but that is simply crass." Da Vinci says.
"That's not what I-"
"Leave the dialogue to me Master…"
"You're right…no one will hear their screams!" Skott says as Grady raises his arms, a puff of smoke appearing some distance from the group as Skott and Grady emerge from the fumes.
Stella brings out her quill, Caelus his hat, and the others there weapons.
As Stella begins writing in the air, she vanishs.
Then do Caelus and March, followed by Dan and Cu.
Da Vinci gasps.
"A…multi faceted Reality Marble?!"
"You deduced the nature of my Noble Phantasm?!...No matter, even knowing it will not save you from the 'Silent Horror Picture-!" Grady falls to a knee when Artoria appears and cleaves through him. He looks at her with a smile.
"Show!"
Artoria vanishes and so do the others.
Skott laughs happily.
"My dream is within reach! And the fact they are all suffering makes it better!"
"Indeed! Let us celebrate with popcorn as we watch their suffering in their own personal Hells!"
===
'This is Hell…' Rin thinks as she looks over the details of the letter and their reparations.
10 million Eris, and loss of the manor until it is paid off.
"…Are they any jobs with high payouts?" Rin asks and Darkness smiles.
"That don't include dragons, hydras, or similarly huge monsters. I'm still only level 3 remember?"
Darkness frowns.
"Unfortunately those are the only ones with a significant pay…The rest are fine for daily expenses but…" Megumin trails off and Rin sighs in understanding.
"Let's….just start with some quests…Any more toad hunting?" Rin asks.
"That's usually common this time of year. Let's go to the guild." Aqua says and they head over to the guild to see Luna, the blonde receptionist of the guild, taking down posters.
When they get closer, they see it is for the toad hunting quest.
"Isn't there still a few more weeks until they go into hibernation?" Megumin asks.
"Yes, but they recently been displaying odd behaviors…notably an aversion to the color… red." Luna says before looking at Rin.
"Wait…you don't mean…"
"…They've been moving away from the neighboring area so there is no need for quests…Uh….congratulations?" Luna says with a smile while scratching her cheek.
The party is looking to the floor, their ennui renewed.
"…And I liked your idea of using bait too…" Megumin says.
"There has to be another quest we can do…" Rin says while looking at the board.
"Experiment for magical durability, no…Hydra returned to a lake, definitely no for now at least, internship at the succubi c- wait a minute, what the-?!" Rin rereads the last one in shock.
"This is just a job posting!"
"And one we cannot apply for…" Darkness says, pointing to a bit at the end, saying Arch priestesses, Arch-Wizards, Crusaders, and depraved Sword Masters in red need not apply.
"I wasn't going to apply, and I am not depraved!" Rin says while tearing the poster in half.
Luna calmly puts a new one up.
"There are gathering quests…including for a rare types of plants that only grow this month. I'm sure that can help you." She says while handing Rin a flier.
"Oh, thank you…but I have to ask, why the help?"
"I've known Kazuma and his party for awhile, and they helped us out of some bad situations…even if they did cause some of them, and I can kind of commiserate with you over a lack of options…" Luna says with a pained grin before going back to work.
'…Not sure what she means by that, but I'm not going to press her on it. For now let's go-oh my!' Rin looks at the poster more closely and nearly drops it.
5,000 Eris a herb.
4,200 for a bag full of grass
10,000 Eris for a mushroom.
Rin smiles along with Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin.
Then she frowns with one nagging revelation when she sees other groups avoid other copies of the quest on the board.
'…If this is such a lucrative quest, why is no one taking it?'
===
Billy finds himself shackled in a prison cell as a tray of food is slid his way.
It is a chuck of meat, burnt on one side, under cooked on the other, with a bit of mold on a corner. The mashed potatoes look lazily mashed with dark spots, and a cup of old, cold coffee.
"Enjoy your final meal, scumbag. Hangman's waiting for you."
===
Da Vinci is awake before the alarm rings. She waits a minute before shutting it off and going to begin her day.
A quick breakfast, shower, and overly strong cup of coffee that reminds her of something, but she is not sure what.
She shakes off the feeling and goes to work at the gas station, making sure to bring her warm coat for the cold winter day ahead of her of filling up people's cars.
===
Boothill walks down the hall on one foot, the other gone now, two gun barrels jabbing into his back until he is forced into a seat and strapped in. A feat proven oddly awkward since his cyborg arms were taken off, as well his lower mandible.
A headset is tied to his head and a paper with a script is presented for him to read from.
"Welcome to your first day in the IPC hotline."
Boothill would scream if that vocal function was available to him.
===
Himeko looks in vacant eyed horror at the ruins of the express before her now. The time she gave to repair undone in seconds, and she is stranded on desolate planet without anyone alive, and only with rusty metal parts and duct tape for her endeavor.
===
"Enjoy your stay, traitor." A jailor says before throwing Dan Heng inside.
"I am not Dan Feng! That was my past life, I am-" The click of a crossbow bolt aimed for his head silences him.
===
Stella runs down the alley way, the sound of a dozen skipping steps in wooden sandals not leaving her ears.
"Why the rush, Gray Hair? Don't you want to play a little longer? It's not like you can escape~."
===
Caelus is unable to stop himself from swinging his bat into Pom Pom's face.
A voice resonates in his head, the words foreign, but the meaning clear enough.
"Good…now the rest…as per my will." Nanook says in monotone.
===
The priest smiles his lightless smile as Cu returns, a fresh coat of blood on his spear.
"What do you have to report, Child of Light?"
===
"Wow…some are dark, and March 7th's is missing, but seeing them squirm is so delightful!" Skott says.
"To be expected Master, my Noble Phantasm gives me pertinent biographical information, thus allowing me construct the ultimate personal horror experience!

That's usually not a good signal
It doesn't look like it will be good at all
When those two agree with each other you know it's a bad idea
That would sound more inspiring and/or philosophical in any other situation
Just smile and nod Kazuma, smile and nod
They are just weird
I'll say
Ok let's not beat the busj, did you tell her about the bribes of food for the modeling time?
That and you tend to blow thing out of proportion
Yeah, that tracks
Should had probably said it when she wasn't there
Bold of you to assume he survived
Oh, you are in for a treat
Just be happy you are seeing her good side
Yep, they are twins, this is so siblingcoded XD
A valid point
I'll give it to him, he is good with theatrics
I mean, tbf, at least someone here is dog adjacent
Hahahahahaha, this will only end when she gets her servant
What was that with the mechs?
Oh, she might get Artorias eternal emmity with that,you don't mess with food near her, she already had enough with Gawain's mashed potatoes(There weren't potatoes in england at that time period)
Hah, this girls is a menace
I love her XD
The ones that are as crazy or crazier than yours
Hey, game respects game, even if we plot vengeance against them
Bad choice of words
I mean, good for her XD
Better to avoid more unintended innuendos, we only want intended ones
We aren't directly in space, for themoment
Uh oh
They are falling one after another
Da vinci's a genius she will manage
Also, Saber you should know better than to expect them to die that easily
Snacks and a show, they live the good life
Don't worry, isn't the first time they are in debt, though Kazuma tends to be the one to pay them
We need to get someone to deal with her lust, this is getting out of control
Probably good to start slow
Just their luck
So this is what it means to be too effective at your job
It was very smart ngl
They are hiring?
I think you were the only one that wanted to apply from the group
Well, you are at least a bit depraved
That might work
...She is doing it again, making them do quests nobody wants to
Ok, this is really good
Smells fishy
Oh, this is a personal hell for someone like Billy
Gas station Da vinci? Why does that sound hot? Though she is Da vinci, she is always hot
Oh god no, everything but that!!
And she worked so hard to repair it
...I would say crimes of the father but it doesn't quite fit
I'm not sure what does it means and I don't think I wanna know
Ominous
I'm starting to think this is just First Follio all over again
I think you should be worried about the March thing, that sounds it can be a problem for you
Oh no, nononononono
I know what this is and I don't like it
Change the channel, change the channel!
No shit sherlock, at least it didn't get as unhinged as she can get
Why did she needed to taste it? I mean she probably ate them but still
Can't blame you, I'd do the same
Makes sense
This almost sounds like LATAM
It was supposed to be a personal affair if not for the funny bussines with the succubi Cafe
That explains everything
As always Darkness enjoying life
I´m both scared and attracted to her right now
Yeah, that tracks
Oh god, they are each other hell
...Yeah, that describes them
Depends of the Saber
He only lost in luck to a literal luck goddess, I think he is fine
Probably
I mean, she's not wrong
They recognize each other instantly XD
You have to respect the professional hate they have for each other
That's the question for the million dollar-eris- What's the nameof the coin in Honkai?
Kazuma seems to have very good luck with those
Just a passing through Kamen Rider, got it
Oooh, those poor people, I pray for no one to stumble into Medea's hell by accident
Yeah, a higher scale First Follio is scary
Oh, so it was important
So a path that helps with Illusions, supernatural luck and being to stubborn to die, yeah no wonder he got out
Oh another Master
Sketchy, playfull, oddly alluring, yep, she is gonna fit right there
I'm at least 80% sure it isn't her actual name
3 millions in the first day, her luck is finally gotten around
I talked to soon
Oh, it's Mitsuragi, I mean Mitsurugi, didn't he had like blonde brownish hair or was that anime only? Well, he won't cause problems for them since he is surprisingly chill and actually respects Kazuma a lot, his companions on the other hand...
So he learned to trace an harmonica for this specific reason, honestly, respect
Yep, needed to avoud a Nazi corrupting society again, shame it was too late
He is trying to be professional
Seein that all your talents are about swords I would, but this is a good de-stress doll for him
Exactly
He makes a compelling argument
He is just so done, some people would take this as a divine revelation, he doesn't give a shit
That would actually work, also how?
Yeah, that makes sence
At this point is not the bribe as much as the silence

That's usually not a good signal
It doesn't look like it will be good at all
When those two agree with each other you know it's a bad idea
That would sound more inspiring and/or philosophical in any other situation
Just smile and nod Kazuma, smile and nod
They are just weird
I'll say
Ok let's not beat the busj, did you tell her about the bribes of food for the modeling time?
That and you tend to blow thing out of proportion
Yeah, that tracks
Should had probably said it when she wasn't there
Bold of you to assume he survived
Oh, you are in for a treat
Just be happy you are seeing her good side
Yep, they are twins, this is so siblingcoded XD
A valid point
I'll give it to him, he is good with theatrics
I mean, tbf, at least someone here is dog adjacent
Hahahahahaha, this will only end when she gets her servant
What was that with the mechs?
Oh, she might get Artorias eternal emmity with that,you don't mess with food near her, she already had enough with Gawain's mashed potatoes(There weren't potatoes in england at that time period)
Hah, this girls is a menace
I love her XD
The ones that are as crazy or crazier than yours
Hey, game respects game, even if we plot vengeance against them
Bad choice of words
I mean, good for her XD
Better to avoid more unintended innuendos, we only want intended ones
We aren't directly in space, for themoment
Uh oh
They are falling one after another
Da vinci's a genius she will manage
Also, Saber you should know better than to expect them to die that easily
Snacks and a show, they live the good life
Don't worry, isn't the first time they are in debt, though Kazuma tends to be the one to pay them
We need to get someone to deal with her lust, this is getting out of control
Probably good to start slow
Just their luck
So this is what it means to be too effective at your job
It was very smart ngl
They are hiring?
I think you were the only one that wanted to apply from the group
Well, you are at least a bit depraved
That might work
...She is doing it again, making them do quests nobody wants to
Ok, this is really good
Smells fishy

It could be a good sign.
I mean....
Funnily enough, not the first time the Express has agreed to a suspicious meeting
Context would help
I doubt he will unless he is being compensated
I...can't argue against that.
Indeed
Close but not quite
True, but I doubt anyone would disagree about Kazuma's morals being suspect at times.
They are nice pictures
But then it wouldn't annoy her!
They don't know he has a God reviving him regularly...funnily enough that would make him something of a monster to some people
She is
I think the constant stabbing from a prior war is blinding her
One mc is already a gremlin. Now there's two.
Validity doesn't convince anyone.
But not much else
Funnily enough there is a guy in Hsr with dog elements and he resides/resided in Penacony too
Tbf, her brother already has one
Long story short, during an event you can replay the ending with seeking different characters for help on how to deal with Skott. One hacks his mechs that he brought to the fight and turns them on him. Another gives food poisoning, and another gives him an existential crisis.
I feel like I am missing something there with the mashed potatoes....
Yeah xD
Same here.
Probably, but the difference is she is as nuts as them so it's semi normal
Skott does have questionable morals. For context, in the event his wish for the Grail was a minor promotion to be middle management
Yeah....
hehehe
Why not both at the same time?
You don't need to be in space to be unheard
yep
as per the trap
But can she match sheer stupidity? And can't fault Artoria for trying. She did beat back Cu and almost kill Archer upon materialization.
He is a movie director.
Now it's Rin's turn
There will be a solution
True but....
Indeed.
Very much so. She took everyone's jobs, including her own!
Surprised there wasn't mention of bait in the show
They need receptionists and janitors too.
True, but would you hire any of them?
She won't admit it in public
Yep
Also yep
Indeed
Not herbal?
Outlaws in general...not sure of the finer points on his life
I did not expect that reaction...but true about Da Vinci
That was more the reaction I expected from Da Vinci's part too
Yeah, seemed fitting
It is an odd situation for him. Some have looked beyond that connection for him
Surprising....
Very
You're not wrong, it was an influence. I am hoping I can make it at least bit more different
Probably should be
hehehehe
Hehehe!
***Yet
Not the oddest way to id a plant, but I get it
Fair...
Very
LATAM?
No one expects the Succubi Inquisition!
Indeed
Wouldn't be if she didn't go on a monolouge about the Rookie Killers tearing off her armor, for them to slink away from the smiling human
The attraction part I did not see coming
Very much so
Yeah xD
Though I doubt either of them would call it good luck atm
In this case, yes
tbf, not even he knows that yet
Absolutely
It is true facts
Thought it would be a good moment xd
....Not sure, but is the second half of that question a reference?
I suspect you do not know her.
hehehe
They won't, all the Hells are separate, which in this case makes it a semi blessing
Regular First Foilio is scary....now it's planet wide
Yes, though I admit this is me taking a bit of liberty on the paths
Think its more staying dead, but yeah.
Indeed
All fair descriptions of her
It's the one she goes by in game. Though lots of people call her Hanabi
Hehehe
Indeed
True about the hair, but bold of you to think problems won't arise
Gets boring between targets. Needed something to kill time in between killing
I think they saved the day, just not themselves
Not succeeding though
True
True....
Unlike a certain airhead
They would until they hear Eris talking
It's legal [mostly] as for how
Off key Psychological warfare
That too
