Saber: Morning, Kazu-kun! // Today we’re heading off to get our Secondary Trigger, right? // Let’s hurry up and head to the Arena!
Kazuhito: …
Saber: Ah, // do you want to have some reading time before we go?
Kazuhito: …No. // Reading before I sleep is enough for me. // Let’s go.
Kazuhito (thought): …What’s with her? // Does she not care about last night…?
Saber: …Still, these Primary and Secondary Triggers are such a pain. // We have to get both of them in the Arena before the time limit, // or else we can’t enter the battle stage and automatically lose. // Isn’t this way too stingy for the main tournament of the Holy Grail War? // And it’s annoying only being able to get one trigger a day.
Chapter 53.5: Sakagami Kazuhito III-2
Page 2:
Saber: Well, // I suppose it’s a good warm up! // Right?
Kazuhito (thought): The SE.RA.PH Holy Grail War takes the form of a tournament with seven rounds… // The participants make their preparations in a building modeled after a school // and then enter an elevator to the battle stage with their opponents—
Page 3:
Kazuhito (thought): My first-round opponent… // Kii Izaya…
Izaya: I gotta say, // I was pretty shocked when I saw the name of my first opponent. // You’re Sakagami’s son, right? // The Moon Cell sure has a whimsical streak, making a match-up like this.
Kazuhito: ! // You knew my father…?
Izaya: I’m a former colleague of his. // …None of us can choose the families we’re born into. // You must have suffered a lot too.
Kazuhito: … // What…?
Izaya: I can tell without even asking. // Knowing your father, // he probably forced his untenable dream of reaching the “Root” on you, right?
Kazuhito: …!
Page 4:
Izaya: I really feel for you. // He was a man who would do anything for the sake of his goals. // Kazuhito-kun. // He probably only saw you as a tool to realize his dearest wish. // Right? // You were just used by him. // What a sad child you are.
Kazuhito: I was… // just… used…
Sound effect: Clink
Page 5:
Saber: Kazu-kun. // You mustn’t acknowledge // such drivel as truth, especially in your heart.
Kazuhito: Saber…!
Izaya: Hey, hey, what drivel? // What do you know about his father?
Saber: …Kii Izaya. // Shut that filthy mouth of yours.
Izaya: I’m not trying to debate methods as a magus, you know? // I’m just commenting on his father’s personality.
Page 6:
Saber: Didn’t you hear me, you piece of scum? // I ordered you to be silent. // You mocked my Master. // Kazu-kun was used… you say? // Anyone who would try something so foolish
Page 7:
Saber: will be carved apart by me! // No matter what it takes, // I’ll slice them into ribbons with everything I’ve got—
Caster: …So that’s why // she got enraged by my words back then…
Izaya: …You really don’t know your place, huh?
Caligula: Oo…
Izaya: Having a selfish Servant really is the epitome of foolishness.
Caligula: Oo
Izaya: Fufu… // The truth is… // I agree with your father’s way of thinking.
Caligula: Oo… // Uu…
Izaya: Servants are just tools in the end. // In that regard, this is the most suitable class there is.
Caligula: Gah…
Page 8:
Caligula: Kuoooooo // Feed… me // your souls… // your liveeees
Izaya: Berserkers have the Mad Enhancement skill. // It’s pretty much impossible to communicate with them, // but they’re loyal if you use them well.
Page 9:
Caligula: Gaah! // Aah!
Kazuhito (thought): …We’ve got the advantage…!
Page 10:
Kauzhito: Saber can completely see though the enemy’s hand-to-hand combat. // As long as none of his attacks hit, their destructive power is meaningless.
Sound Effect: Grip
Caligula: Gaah!
Izaya: Damn it… We’re gonna lose at this rate. // I hate to use my trump card in the first round, but… // I order you with my Command Spell.
Page 11:
Izaya: Activate your Noble Phantasm, // Caligula!
Caligula: Aaah! // Giiiii
Kazuhito: His true name… // is Caligula…!?
Izaya: Since my Berserker can’t talk, I’ll explain in his place. // His Noble Phantasm is the reproduction of the madness that Caligula himself despises… // A wide-area mental pollution attack,
Saber: !!
Saber (thought): Caligula, // the third Emperor of Ancient Rome, who was captivated by madness—
Page 12:
Saber (thought): His madness was called
Caligula: O Goddess…
Saber (thought): “the Affection of the Moon”—
Saber: Kazu-kun!
Kazuhito: Release your second sword. // Hurry!
Saber: Okay! // Roger that!!
Caligula: Ooh… // I can see… // the… Goddess…
Saber: Saichi no // Shukufuku!!
Izaya: Nothing you do can block it. // In the end, you’ll be dancing madly in the palm of my hand too.
Page 13:
Caligula: Flucticulus (ruby: Moonlight,) // Diana (ruby: Devour My Soul)!!!
Text: Bestows a madness debuff to all enemies with a high rate of success (3 turns) and seal the skills and Noble Phantasms of all enemies with a high rate of success (3 turns).
Page 14:
Saber: Aa… // Aaa…
Caligula: Guaaaa // Feed me // your life—
Page 15:
Saber: Gah!
Sound effect: Fade // Fade
Saber: The match is over.
Page 16:
Saber: …At the very depths of your soul, // there’s still a bit of reason buried in darkness that not even the moonlight can reach— // Know that your defeat is the result of my wisdom seeing through your thought patterns without overlooking anything. // Well, // I’m grateful, in a way. // Thanks to that madness corruption, I was able to attack without going through my usual self-hatred.
Caligula: Ne… // Nero…!
Saber: Yeah, yeah. // You can go head and sleep now.
(TL note: “Nero” means “sleep” in Japanese.)
Page 17:
Izaya: You… read his attack…? // Don’t be ridiculous…! // Under the light of Caligula’s Noble Phantasm, // you shouldn’t be able to make such calculations…!
Saber: …Sorry, // but my “Saichi no Shukufuku” forcefully calculates the optimum answer regardless of my own will. // Even under madness, as long as I can grasp the “objective” and “answer”, // I just need to move according to them, right? // Get it now?
Izaya: You overcame your reason… with your intelligence…!?
Saber: And what was that you said before? // “A mad Servant is loyal”?
Page 18:
Saber: You couldn’t even make your Servant use his Noble Phantasm without a Command Spell. Don’t make me laugh.
Izaya: ……
Saber: Let’s go, Kazu-kun.
Kazuhito: …No. // Kii Izaya… // Your death is something I have to accept as the victor. // I’ll watch your death till the end.
Saber: …That’s the right thing to do, but… // Kazu-kun, that’s…
