01x03 - A Battle without Heroes

[bunniefuu]

You didn't have to trouble

yourself with coming here.

I could have gone to you.

I am somewhat responsible

for shoving Flat onto you.

Honestly, the fact that you

keep harboring him

I am beyond admiration.

I'm frankly dumbstruck.

You said you were just going to stand by

and observe this Holy Grail w*r.

But what will you do about Flat?

I'd like to say it's

outside my jurisdiction

but he is still one of my students.

And the Holy Grail w*r

happening over there

seems to have some

strange things going on.

Strange?

No.

Perhaps the Holy Grail w*r

hasn't even begun.

The Overseer for the Holy Grail w*r?

How reprehensible.

I rushed to join this w*r

because I heard the

Church wasn't involved.

But in the end, this city is also—

You're too long-winded, damn corpse.

What is the meaning of this?

Mm my treat.

You should slurp it instead of

the blood of the guys around here.

I see, I get it! Your treat!

But this is the coffee they're handing out

for free at the information desk!

Huh?

I thought I would blow your head off.

But it's certainly quite hard.

A passing of the baton, so to speak.

I'll get rid of him.

Are you saying you're going to assist us?

Before I am an Overseer, I'm a priest.

But, well, there is something

I want in return.

Please keep how I just wasted

that coffee quiet from the Church.

I'm scared of getting scolded by Father.

I let my guard down.

Yes.

I let my guard down just now!

This must be what people call "hubris"!

Don't be so humble.

You didn't let your guard down.

You always go full throttle, don't you?

Are you an Executor?

I'm taking a break from being an Executor.

Today, I'm here as the Overseer.

What a foolish choice!

Defeating me means you are abandoning

your neutrality as Overseer!

Oh? I didn't hear anything about you

being a Master of the Holy Grail w*r!

I declared as such before

Assassin just now!

The Servant seemed like she wanted to deny

your entire existence, though, didn't she?

That is part

of the beauty!

Hah!

That doesn't answer the question!

Hmm?

What's that?

A Servant?

That's

the priest from earlier.

But the other one

Humph.

No clue!

I've no clue, but that's

certainly not a Servant.

Likely some sort of demon

or a type of apparition.

However, that priest

With his body as it is, he has yet to

completely become a tool for his god?

We have an audience, now!

What happened to you concealing

the Holy Grail w*r?

Something of this caliber

can be easily explained away.

More importantly

if you can't hit me,

I'll attack you, okay?

Is this your job as Overseer?

I am a Master, someone you lot

need to safeguard, you know!

The Church interferes to conceal Mystics

and protect the tranquility of humanity.

If a vampire were to get

ahold of the Holy Grail,

I'd be a failure of an Overseer, wouldn't I?

I didn't realize

you wanted to k*ll me that much.

Did a Dead Apostle k*ll your parents

or lover or something?

Well, they k*lled off my entire clan,

but I don't really bear a grudge over it.

No matter how I look at

you, you're a villain.

Are you dissatisfied with that reason?

All of your words and actions irritate me.

So, you're going to aimlessly

k*ll Dead Apostles

without feeling any particular belief?

Polar opposites from

that elegant Assassin!

How ugly!

I'll take this!

Damn you!

You have a prosthetic hand?

I have to deal with monsters

like you after all.

Seventy percent of my body is

made up of consecrated mechanical parts.

That wind earlier Is that your power?

Sorry, but I'm a coward.

I've no intentions

of sharing my grand insights!

I see, I see.

You're top tier among all

the Executors I've seen!

Perhaps you're part

of the much-rumored Burial Agency?

Burial Agency?

Me?

This corpse is spouting nonsense.

I am nowhere near them.

No

I wouldn't dare be even placed

on the same plane as them!

What?

It's true that

I can inflict the same

amount of damage to you

as nuclear missiles or chemical weapons!

But mere human weaponry

falls far short of such dignitaries!

They execute the works of God Himself

and annihilate evil

violating His territory!

A comparison is nothing

but an insult to their name!

You are a mere violation

to the realm of humanity.

Thus, I will

annihilate you with the power of humans!

I see. So, this is where things get real.

But it seems we're out of time.

I'll leave it to an

introduction for today.

I'm not letting you escape.

Too bad!

Huh?

Hey, boy!

Did you see anything?

A scary old man said, "Outta the way"

and everyone

Do you know which way he went?

I see.

I'm glad you're okay.

You're safe now.

It's me.

All hands are to surround the building.

He might try to mingle

among the evacuating crowd.

Make sure to catch anyone suspicious.

A Dead Apostle seeking the Holy Grail

This world really is coming to an end.

I wonder if the police are all right.

Yeah.

There are many injured, but fortunately,

it seems there are no casualties.

Please stop.

I'm terribly sorry

but I was told to check out any suspicious

individuals in the surrounding area.

GLOOM

Well you look a ton more suspicious.

Huh?

They're burning incense

for group hypnosis.

The Church is trying to conceal that

battle against the Dead Apostle, right?

So, you are a Servant and his Master.

Apologies for my rudeness.

Dead Apostle?

Basically, what your

society calls a "vampire."

There's the likes of those, too?

I don't want to get roped

into something troublesome.

I'll be going now.

Right. Let's get going!

You don't have to come with me.

Please come to the Central Church

when you have a moment.

The Overseer has something

to talk about with Masters.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a Master.

What in the world

am I supposed to do in this city?

Huh?

If it ain't that girl from the other day!

Oh

Hey!

Damages?

No injuries among the civilians.

Several Clan Calatin were injured.

Currently undergoing treatment.

You shouldn't overexert yourself.

We can take care of the rest.

No, I'll keep going! Please allow me to!

With those wounds?

You still have a future ahead of you.

You shouldn't needlessly let that go.

But I

I want to protect the future of this city!

Is there anything to guarantee

you won't just be a liability?

Well

if the only opponent we were

facing were Servants,

I may have been able to resign myself.

However, if we leave

such corrupt individuals like him be

what will happen to this city?

This isn't about me as a Mage.

I can't stand by and watch

as a police officer!

I accept the ardor.

But I can't allow a diehard

to expose everyone to danger.

If you're saying you can still fight

prove that you can handle a weapon

with one arm or with a prosthetic hand

John Wingard.

I'll do it!

It's me.

Hey, Brother! What a misfortune!

To think that was a vampire!

Surprised even me!

That said, you got a package

from a guy named Shishigou.

With this thing, I think you

can get to the heart

of your opponent even if he's a vampire.

I'll make it

for that young lad that got injured.

Using this Hydra poison

dagger as the base.

Looking forward to it.

I'm leaving you in charge here.

Where to?

I have to question the superiors.

If, under these conditions

they're still going to start

the other w*r as planned.

I hope the young lady Assassin

comes back soon.

We will bring you more coverage on the

t*rror1st attack near the police station

as information comes in.

Up next

My goodness, that Servant

who was giving a speech

Wasn't his charisma through

the roof, Mr. Jack?

I must say, calling out my

True Name so publicly

is rather concerning. More than that

if that is your impression of seeing

a Heroic Spirit that

you should antagonize

it gives me doubts about you as a Master.

I've been telling you,

we're not going to antagonize anyone!

We can all be friends!

I'm more and more uncertain

whether you understand

the meaning behind the Holy Grail w*r.

It's fine! I made sure to take a picture

of the Dead Apostle person!

This is valuable!

Everyone else was forced to erase

any pictures because of the hypnosis!

Please use your phone

quietly in the store!

Oh, I'm sorry.

What do you mean,

the Holy Grail w*r hasn't started yet?

I only have fragmented information,

but it seems that the United States

is starting something

behind the scenes of the w*r.

I gained this intel from a Mage

who has snuck into Snowfield.

Most likely the doings of a Heroic Spirit.

It's proof that multiple powerful Servants

have been summoned.

However, in the past few hours

the Leyline in Snowfield is once again

showing an abnormal swell in Magical Energy.

Despite the Heroic Spirits being summoned,

it is absorbing Magical Energy once again?

Exactly.

I just received additional data

from my collaborator.

This seems to be footage from a TV show

from a local station over there.

You say it's out of your jurisdiction,

but you really are a worrywart.

I'm finally done!

I can finally contact

my professor now, Mr. Jack!

Seeking advice from your mentor

for surviving the Holy Grail w*r?

More like, there's something strange

about this city.

There are illusions using Magecraft

quietly set up throughout the city.

And there's a strange fog drifting around.

Fog?

Besides, knowing my professor,

I'm sure he's really worried.

And I want to inform him about you

more than anything, Mr. Jack!

And

I wanted to ask how I can become friends

with the other Servants.

I took a picture of one other Servant

back at the police station.

H-Hold on a second there!

What do you mean, another Servant?

Oh, right.

Your attention was glued to the battle between

the priest and the Dead Apostle,

so you didn't notice.

Why didn't you say something?

Well, I mean

if I kicked up a fuss and he noticed,

I'd likely have been k*lled in an instant.

What?

I've never seen such an amazing

cluster of energy like that.

I think I'd be dead meat

the moment they noticed.

I thought you just a fool

yet you are practical

in the strangest way.

You thought I was just a fool until now?

Are you angry?

No, I'm actually kind of happy instead.

From when I was a child, people were

scared of me and avoided me all the time.

There were few

who'd actually scold me to my face.

I see.

The only people that would

were my professor,

his little sister the princess

everyone in my class, also the alumni.

No, wait. Isn't that quite a few?

Huh? Is this TV?

Wow! I wonder if the professor

and Reines are watching this!

Both mentor and apprentice

join the Holy Grail w*r, sneaking

behind the backs of their professors.

I guess recklessness

is part of what is being taught.

I have no words of rebuttal.

Excuse me.

Hi, Professor!

Thanks to you,

I was able to summon the

best Heroic Spirit ever!

Say hello to the one and only Berserker!

You ingenious idiot.

Here's a picture of the Heroic Spirit

I saw in the city!

What should I do to befriend them?

Impossible!

Hah!

Even simply comparing how

the streets and buildings are lined up

the city of Uruk is more beautiful!

My king

I hear that the Holy Grail Wars of yore

had cases where entire

buildings were annihilated.

They may come to destroy

the Crystal Hill entirely, too.

That is not even an issue for me.

However, I am the one

who beckoned you here.

I will make a special case

and at least get you a parachute.

O-Okay.

So, Tiné

You want to regain this land, do you not?

Of course!

Then wouldn't it be the fastest

to take this mediocre scenery

and clear the land, usurpers and all?

S-Surely you joke.

A joke?

That is the closest answer

to what your ancestors eagerly wished for, right?

What difference is there

between the lives of the clown

who first summoned me

and the mongrels of this city?

Committing such savagery will make us the

same as the Mages who pilfered this land.

A model answer.

But that's not enough.

That is not a solution that you personally

came up with yourself, now is it

Tiné Chelc?

Personally?

You finally have doubt.

Then all is well.

Huh?

Doubt is the foundation

by which you break through blind faith.

Worry not

it was because you had

such a depressed look on your face.

I was merely teasing you a bit.

What's wrong?

Have you finally realized

that the most supreme

recreation in this world

is to behold my glory?

It is fine, I shall allow it!

Gaze upon me to your heart's content,

then pass the story down the generations!

That is a Saber!

This cannot be!

Indeed.

I've never heard of a Heroic Spirit

who gives a speech on TV.

That's not it.

The land started emitting Magical Energy

at about the same time

as this live broadcast.

It's as if

the Holy Grail is starting

to summon seven Heroic Spirits.

What?

The States had called this

a "Fake Holy Grail w*r."

Six Servants, with no Saber.

I didn't understand what

they meant by that.

It can't be!

Is this Saber the first one?

If the six already summoned

were only catalysts

for the actual rituals to be held

It's time.

For the elements, silver and iron.

For the foundation, stone

and the Archduke of Contracts.

new Heroic Spirits

will be summoned to Snowfield!

Come forth from the circle of binding

Guardian of the Scales!

Huh?

It failed?

It's me.

Yes, it was a failure.

Ultimately, seven of them is the limit

for materializing at the same time—
