Saber: —You’re the Master // who summoned me…right?
Texy: The true form of the Servant Sakagami Kazuhito summoned!?
Kazuzhito: Wha… // …Guh! // Ah… // Yeah…
Kazuhito (thought): …A Path has been formed between me and her…!? —I see… // This is a Servant, just like the rumours said…!
Page 2:
Saber: Okay. // Servant // Saber, // super-summoned by your call! // I guess ☆ // Nice to meet ya♥
Large text beneath speech bubbles: Here to serve and please.
Kazuhito: …“Ya”…?
Page 3:
Tamamo (thought): Oo… // Oaaaa~…! // The way she fails to read the mood completely overlaps with my character! // I didn’t think watching someone else fail at brightening the serious atmosphere like I would would be so unbearable! // —But well, // that kind of attitude might actually be just right for someone like Sakagami-san.
Saber: Eh… “Sakagami”…!?
Kazuhito: Something wrong with my name?
Saber: It’s kinda similar to my ex-boyfriend’s name…
Kazuhito: Ex… what?
Page 4:
Kazuhito: This is our assigned room. // …So, who’s this “ex-boyfriend”?
Saber: Tamura Maro-sama.
Kazuhito: Pssh // You mean…Sakanoue Tamura Maro…?
Saber: Bingo. // So to avoid any awkwardness, I’ll call you by your first name, Master! // “Kazuhito” or “Kazu-kun”? // Which do you like?
Kazuhito: At the very least, don’t call me Kazu-kun. // Anyway, just “Master” is good enough.
Saber: Hey, like, isn’t calling you your first name actually lewder and a greater hurdle? // How lewd of you, Kazu-kun.
Kazuhito: Don’t call me Kazu-kun.
Page 5:
Kazuhito (thought): …What’s with this Servant…?
Kazuhito: …So, // what’s your true name?
Saber: I am the daughter of the Demon King of the Fourth Heaven, // the Saber of the glorious dancing petals, // Suzuka Gozen. // Got it?
Page 6:
Kazuhito: Suzuka…
Saber: Hmm? What is it?
Kazuhito: …Gozen?
Saber: … // …Hey!

Text: The origin story of the rival student lies here—
Chapter 53: Sakagami Kazuhito III
Page 8:
Saber: Seriously, I can’t believe you! // Kazu-kun, aren’t you Japanese!?
Kazuhito: Sorry. // It’s true that my parents originally lived in Japan, // but I was born after the collapse of the Japanese state. // I’ve never once set foot there. // And don’t call me Kazu-kun. // This school uniform? // This is something…
Kazuhito (thought): which my dad wore at my age
Kazuhito: that I saw in a photo. // …What about you? // What’s with that outfit of yours?
Saber: Ehehe, you noticed? // It’s cute, right? This is what a high school girl wears!
Page 9:
Saber: I researched the historical background of Japan in the 2000s since that’s what the stage for the Holy Grail war is based on, // but when I learned about high school girls, // they seemed really popular and beautiful, // and like something truly of worth. // And besides, // it seemed super fun, you know? // It really is the perfect concept for me. // So I decided to go with it. // Well, // I can’t manifest as a Servant in my original form anyway, // so it was perfect timing for an image change!
Page 10:
Kazuhito: …Do you even understand // what a “high school girl” is in the first place?
Saber: What I care about most isn’t its origins, but the concept of “high school girl” as a way of living. // Rather than think about boring details, it’s best to live through life happy, you know?
Tamamo (thought): …Just about what I thought. // …The reason Suzuka-san’s JK motif seems a bit template-ish // is because it is based on second-hand information instead of experience. // Her JK act is pretty standard at first glance, but it’s fundamentally the opposite of true high school girls who chase the latest trends. // That explains her constant search for what’s “cool and stylish”.
Kazuhito: …As long as it has nothing to do with me, you can do as you wish.
Saber: !
Page 11:
Saber: Hey, // hey! // Look, look! A theme park date! // I really love these kinds of things! // Putting on fake ears(?) and riding a jet coaster and Ferris Wheel and going through a haunted house // with your boyfriend! // Kazu-kun, have you ever gone on a theme park date? // But why ears…? Is it moe…? I guess…? // (small) What about a tail?
Kazuhito: What the heck are you talking about…?
Tamamo (though): Th…
Page 12:
Tamamo (thought): This is the reason!? // For why this JK copied my ears (and tail)!? // …In fact, that explains the Ferris Wheel too. // By the looks of it, this JK might have eventually sprouted those ears even without meeting me…
Kazuhito: …So. // More importantly, I’ve looked up your legend…there seem to be several different versions, though. // Which one is fact, Saber?
Saber: …Geez, // that’s, like, totally trivial. // I’m me and that’s that.
Kazuhito (thought): Does this Servant perhaps have Mad Enhancement? // Why does nothing I say get through to her…?
Page 13:
Saber: So, // what’re we doing today? // We have free time until our opponent is announced, right?
Sound effect: Whoosh
Kazuhito: I’m going to read a book.
Saber: Eh? // You were doing that just now—a grimoire? // Looks like a tome on old-style magecraft…
Kazuhito: It’s just a habit…part of my daily routine.
Sound effect: Slam
Kazuhito: Don’t bother me for the next two hours.
Saber: Ha…Haaa!!? // The heck is that!? // You’re leaving such a stylish girl by her lonesome to go back to reading? // That seriously makes no sense!
Page 14:
Saber: …Looks like I // have bad compatibility with this Master… // Moon Cell, // you’re way too sloppy…
Kazuhito: Urgh… // Urgh… // Fu…Fumi… // Hah! // Haa // Damn it… // Haa // The same dream as usual… // Haa // Haa // Haa // Haa
Saber: … // The heck is that?
Page 15:
Saber: …That’s why you said // “do as you wish as long as it has nothing to do with me”?
Kazuhito: …? // What are you talking about?
Sound effect: Bang!
Kazuhito: What…are you-!?
Saber: Kazu-kun, // you don’t understand yourself at all! // Your self-awareness is a complete mess!
Page 16:
Saber: For instance, your Crest and Circuits. // They have high performance, but consume a ton of magic energy // and their production rate is low, making them extremely peaky. // And what happened back then was due to the magical energy that got transplanted along with your Crest! // All those factors simply piled together and caused that explosion! // There’s no way you could have prevented it when it was your first time using your Crest! // …So it’s not // your fault… // …Kazu-kun…!
Kazuhito: …
Kazuhito (thought): My Circuits are specialized in “diffusion”… // So that might have caused my memories to link to Saber…!
Kazuhito: Damn it… // My memories flowed over to you, didn’t they…!?
Saber: …The reason you haven’t done well with your training until now // is because of your Circuits’ peaky performance. It’s not that you don’t have talent… it’s the opposite…!
Page 17:
Kazuhito: Haa… // … // …What are you trying to say…?
Saber: …I’m saying // —there are things in life you just can’t do anything about!! // …So it’s fine to try and be at least a little happy. // Even you really want to be happy deep down, Kazu-kun!
Kazuhito: — // It has nothing to do with you.
Saber: You’re wrong! It does…!
Page 18:
Kazuhito: …If you say anything more, I’ll use a Command Spell. // …So // don’t make me waver any further…!
