R.Saber: Father… // Do you despise me that much…!?
Arturia: I have never once despised you. // The reason I didn’t pass on the throne to you— // is because you didn’t have the qualifications to be king.
Text: An unforgettable, hateful memory.

R.Saber: —Fa… // …ther…
Shishigou: …
Page 3:
Shishigou: Goddammit. // Don’t show me strange dreams.
R.Saber: …I don’t really get it, // but is that my fault?
EPISODE:18 The Masters
R.Saber: So? // Why did we come to this town…Sighișoara, was it?
Shishigou: Yeah. // I received some information from the Association.
Page 4:
Waver: All the magi we had stationed as backup in Sighișoara have been wiped out. // Someone killed each and every one of them… // likely with a specific intent in mind.
Shishigou: Soul-eating, huh…?
Waver: Yes. // According to Father Shirou, // all the Red Servants are accounted for, and none of them have been going around eating souls. // If we trust those words—
Shishigou: Then the culprit is the only Black Servant that hasn’t been seen yet… // Assassin.
Page 5:
R.Saber: …So, what are we going to do?
Shishigou: Wait until nighttime. // In the meantime, I’m going to go take a look at the corpses of the killed magi in the morgue.
R.Saber: I’ll pass on that. // Since I’ve been summoned in the modern world and all, I’ll go do some sightseeing of this era.
Shishigou: I’ll summon you with a Command Spell if something happens.
R.Saber: Sure.
Shishigou: A hero of the past sightseeing in the modern day, huh? // Ah! // But wait, this town is… // …Still, // having to deal with a Servant is quite taxing as a Master. // The other Masters are probably having a hard time as well.
Page 6:
Celenike: —Goddamit. // This is so infuriating. // Why is my Rider so infatuated with a mere homunculus? // Even though he’s my Servant! Even though he belongs to me! // —Ah, // I want to see Rider’s face in anguish. // I want to rip apart that homunculus he likes right before his eyes… // Once the Great Holy Grail War is over… // I’ll use all my Command Spells to violate him until he dies…
Page 7:
Roche: —Things have really taken a turn for the strange. // To think a Servant would commit suicide. // Just as I thought, Servants and homunculi are too unstable. // Golems that have no free will are the best. // Now that it’s turned out like this, we have to hurry and completely sensei’s Noble Phantasm… // the ultimate golem,
Royal Crown, the Light of Wisdom
Golem Keter Malkuth.
// I’m going get this Holy Grail War over with // and wish for sensei to obtain a physical body so that I can learn more about golem-making from him. // For the sake of that, I don’t care who dies, or even if the entire clan is wiped out!
Page 8:
Caules: …Nee-san?
Fiore: Ah, // Caules.
Caules: ! // …Since you’ve brought out something so dangerous, are you going somewhere?
Fiore: Yes. // We’re going to go make contact with Assassin of Black and their Master.
Caules: Contact? // …You seem prepared for danger, though.
Fiore: Caules. // I don’t mind if you enjoy using computers, but at least read the local newspapers too.
Caules: Yeah, yeah.
Page 9:
Fiore: Then, we’re heading off. // Look after the castle while we’re gone.
Caules: —The Great Holy Grail War really is a terrifying battle… // I didn’t think the power of heroes from the past…of Heroic Spirits was that overwhelming… // It didn’t truly feel real to me until I saw it with my own eyes. // Especially that Rider of Red. // If Archer is right, the enemy Rider’s abilities are practically foul play. // I think you understand already, // but avoid fighting him at all costs. // Got it?
Page 10:
Caules: Well, the fact that I have you fighting by my side against such incredible enemies does relieve me a bit.
B.Berserker: …Uu.
Caules (thought): Berserker of Black’s Noble Phantasm,
Maiden’s Chastity
Bridal Chest.
// It acts as Berserker of Black’s heart, and has the ability to absorb prana from her surroundings. // Servants summoned in the Berserker class // drain enormous amounts of prana from their Masters. // But thanks to this Noble Phantasm, Berserker can keep fighting nearly indefinitely like a perpetual motion machine. // It’s not a Noble Phantasm that instantly kills the enemy with a powerful attack, but it’s a continuously-active type that’s very easy to use.
Page 11:
Caules (thought): However, she has a second Noble Phantasm,
Lightning Branch of Crucifixion
Blasted Tree.
// This one has extraordinary power, but its cost is too great. // The cost is— // “death”. // When she releases all her limiters and deploys her Noble Phantasm at maximum power, // Berserker will cease functioning afterwards. // That’s what was written in her design blueprints which was used as her summoning catalyst.
Caules: …Berserker. // I think it goes without saying, // but don’t release the limiters of Blasted Tree, all right?
B.Berserker: …Uu?
Page 12:
Caules: …Ah, right. // Nee-san did mention that I should read the newspaper. // …!
Caules (thought): —This is bad. // If Saber of Red and her Master have also gone to Sighișoara, // then it might turn into a three-way battle should Nee-san fail to bring in Assassin of Black as an ally. // I trust Nee-san and Archer’s power, but—
Caules: Berserker. // Sorry, but please look after my room for a bit.
B.Berserker: ?
Caules: …I’m just going to help Nee-san a little. // We can’t risk losing Archer right now, no matter how low the chances of it are.
Page 13:
Caules: If I can tip the scales of the battle by joining in, the enemy won’t recklessly keep fighting. // He’s a pro, after all. // However, it’s also true that this castle needs to be protected. // That’s why I’m having you remain here. // Well, // if there’s an emergency, I’ll summon you with a Command Spell.
B.Berserker: Uu?
Text: Conserve electricity!
Page 14:
Shirou: I’ve brought more tea.
Red Masters: …Ah, Shirou-kun. // Thanks.
Shirou: Thank you for your hard work, everyone.
Red Masters: …What are you talking about?
Page 15:
Shirou: My, have you all // forgotten? // The Great Holy Grail War is over. // Our Red camp won—
Red Masters: …Now that you mention it, // that’s right. // …Now that you mention it, // that’s right.
Page 16:
Shirou: Ah, // right, I just remembered. // I have to ask you all to transfer your Command Spells to me.
Red Masters: Our Command Spells? // Why?
Shirou: I am the mediator sent here by the Church. // Now that the Great Holy Grail War is over, // I have to collect everyone’s Command Spells // and prepare for the next Holy Grail War.
Red Masters: The Great Holy Grail War is over… // … Yeah. // There’s no point in keeping these anymore. // …That’s true.
Page 17:
Red Masters: You also worked hard as the mediator, Shirou-kun. // We’d like to repay you, but—
Shirou: Ah, // in that regard, please don’t worry. // I will certainly receive proper compensation from you all. // Your rights as Masters. // Isn’t that suitable as compensation?
Red Masters: I see. //
Is that enough for you?
Shirou: Yes, // of course. // Then, // I will begin preparations for the transfer ritual. // Please enjoy chatting amongst yourselves in the meantime.
Page 18:
Red Masters: How should we use our payment from this job? // We didn’t manage to have our wishes granted by the Holy Grail, // but the Association will reward us handsomely. // We’re thinking of using the reward to enjoy a vacation. // This job was quite taxing on us. // It seems they’re going to open a grimoire auction at the Clock Tower. // With this reward, I’ll be able to buy at least three of the books I’ve been waiting to get for a long time. // I will donate mine to my department at the Clock Tower. // Our budget is quite tight. // It must be nice, being part of the Association. // As for me…
Page 19:
Reika: No one’s out on the streets anymore.
B.Assassin: Mother, should we go to another town now?
Reika: Yeah. // Next is Trifas, right?
B.Assassin: Yeah. // Ah… // But, // it seems another magus has come here.
Reika: Oh my. // Is that so?
Page 20:
Reika: Then shall we make them your last meal here in Sighișoara?
B.Assassin: Yeah. // But Mother, // you mustn’t accompany us today. // It might be more dangerous than usual.
Reika: All right. Then I’ll wait here.
B.Assassin: Hey, // hey, // we want to eat another hamburger when we come back.
Reika: Sure. // I’ll make it while I await your return.
B.Assassin: We’re off.
Reika: Take care.
Page 21:
Shishigou: So, // how was your sightseeing of the modern era?
R.Saber: It was boring… // There were none of the skyscrapers I wanted to see. // There was nothing exciting or novel about the buildings where tourists gathered…
Shishigou: …I figured. // This town’s main tourist attraction is its medieval townscape. // As someone who comes from the medieval era, you wouldn’t find anything interesting about it…
R.Saber: Damnit!
Page 22:
R.Saber: How did things go on your end?
Shishigou: Several of the victims showed evidence of having used guns or spells. // And almost all of them had their hearts carved out.
R.Saber: Their hearts?
Shishigou: The heart is the organ that’s essentially the source of life for humans. // They might be eating it as part of a ritual to obtain prana.
R.Saber: Eating hearts… // … // …Did they eat it raw?
Shishigou: Don’t ask such disturbing questions… // (small text): The thought of them actually cooking it is even scarier.
Page 23:
Shishigou: Saber. // Put on your armor, just in case. // The enemy is Assassin. // You might not have time to change into your armor if we’re hit by a surprise attack.
Page 24:
R.Saber: …It’s gotten foggy. // Fog…?
Shishigou: This fog is… // !? // *Cough* // *Cough*
R.Saber: Master!?
Pager 25:
Shishigou: It’s poison! // Don’t breathe it in, Saber!
R.Saber: Hey! // Get a hold of yourself, Master! // Tch! // I’ll take the lead. // Follow me! // This way!
Page 26:
R.Saber: All right, // we’re out…!
Page 27:
B.Assassin: …Ah.
R.Saber: —Sorry, but that’s my Master. // I’m the one who’s going to fight you.
Page 28:
B.Assassin: You cut us. // How mean.
R.Saber: —Hah, mean? // I don’t want to heart that from the likes of you, a Servant who’s lowered herself to devouring souls!
Page 29:
R.Saber: Wait here, Master!
Shishigou: Crowd-dispersing Bounded Field… // Set!
Page 30:
B.Asssassin: Wow. // You’re really good.
R.Saber: Shut up. // Compliments from an “assassin” who isn’t even a true Heroic Spirit don’t mean squat.
Page 31:
R.Saber: No, // you’re not even an assassin. // You’re just a killer. // A mere murderer!
B.Assassin: Huh? // How did you know?
R.Saber: What—?
B.Assassin: Our true name is Jack the Ripper. // Hey, hey, hey, hey. // Won’t you tell us your name too?
Page 32:
B.Assassin: Sniff // Sniff // Hehe // Hehe // Hehe // Hehe // Yeah, // it’s just as we thought! // You’re a
woman.
R.Saber: Tch!
B.Assassin: In that case— // In that case— // Yeah. //
Let’s do that.
Page 33:
R.Saber: !
B.Assassin: Hehe // Hehe // Hehe // Hehe // Hehe // Hehe
Page 34:
B.Assassin: Hehe // Hehe // Hehe // Hehe
R.Saber: …Hah. // Don’t underestimate me. // You
damn brat!! // …Red lightning!
B.Assassin: —!?

R.Saber: It’s over, // Assassin.
B.Assassin: Hehe // Hehe // Hehe
Page 37:
B.Assassin: !?
Page 38:
Shishigou: Saber!
Page 39:
Fiore: Was the attack successful?
B.Archer: No, // unfortunately. // Saber dodged the attack. // She truly is worthy of the title of the strongest class. // Assassin survived as well, // though she was wounded.
Page 40:
B.Archer: —Master. // Assassin of Black has apparently chosen to withdraw.
Fiore: In that case, we’ll proceed to battle Saber of Red as planned. // Archer, please take care of Saber. // I will fight her Master Shishigou Kairi.
B.Archer: Understood.
