Senpai. Stay behind me.
Commencing battle.

Page 53:
Yaah!
Page 54:
What were those guys…
By the way…
You seem kind of different Mash…
I didn’t know you could fight like that.
Yes, I was surprised myself…
I managed somehow though.
I’m shaking, aren’t I…
Foou!
Page 55:
Fou!
So you came over here as well, Fou.
I’m glad you’re safe.
Wait a minute Mash.
What do you mean by “here”?
Where on earth are we?
This is most likely singularity F.
2004 Fuyuki City, Japan.
Huh?
…That’s right. Rayshift!
But I haven’t heard of a big fire happening in 2004…
An “unobservable region” that did not previously exist in history.
This is the singularity we found.
Page 56:
A singularity is an alternate dimension separated from the original past and future.
It’s something we can’t allow to affect human history.
The rayshift here went according to plan.
It seems that after the incident broke out,
The remaining functions activated and the rayshift program continued to run.
Maybe that was why we were saved…
Mash, um…
What about your injuries?
Ah, it’s fine.
After that I—
Ahhhh—!
Why is this happening?
How come these things only ever happen to me!
Page 57:
No…
Save me Leff!
You’re always the only one who comes to save me, right!
Leff!
Director Olga Marie—
Mash?
You, that outfit…
Page 58:
Did the Director and… that person get rayshifted here as well?
No, that’s…
A Servant.
Recognising that Servant as a hostile.
Master, your orders!
Eh, Master?
Orders, what?
Page 59:
What are you doing!
Hurry up and save me!
A-Anyway, go save the Director!
Understood.
Beginning battle!
Why is there a servant here…?
Page 60:
Are you alright, Director!
You’re that amateur, aren’t you!
Why is someone like you a Master.
What sort of violence did you commit to get Mash to listen to you?
Even if you say that, I don’t really understand…
Put out your right hand!
Those command spells
Are proof of your contract with that girl, aren’t they!
Whoa, what’s this?
You’re misunderstanding, Director.
The one who forced the contract was me!
Ah!!
Page 61:
Mash!
Idiot! Do you want to die?
But!
Are you listening?
A Servant is the highest class of familiar in the world of Magecraft.
They are the various heroes, men of great exploits, and concepts that have left their mark on history.
Servants are summoned as spiritual bodies from the
stored within this planet.
In a battle between Servants, it would be suicidal for a human to jump in there!
Page 62:
The summoner uses the Servant’s called forth as a Master.
By utilising the “Servant summoning”, our combat ability would increase, and we could investigate the singularity.
That was the mission given to the Master candidates who were gathered in Chaldea.
It is the right of modern day humans to make use of what we have inherited from the past.
To make use of the past and leave a future is the responsibility of all living beings.
Servants are existences greater than human,
Yet they are tools to be used by humans.
Servant’s, who are spiritual bodies, require something to tie them to the current world.
The magical energy of the Master they made a contract with.
In other words, if you die, that girl will go along with you.
Page 63:
So… You’re saying Mash isn’t human?
She’s…
A Demi-Servant.
Always on the defensive. Are you not going to counterattack?
No,
That’s probably wise.
“The Immortal Killing Blade”
If this slashes your
,
Not even a miracle would be able to heal the wound.
Page 64:
What I bestow is not wound’s, but death.
How does it feel?
The sensation of death coming for you.
Even if you can defend against my blows,
That sensation will gradually affect your spirit…
It will certainly shave it off.
At this rate…
Page 65:
This is bad.
She has the physical strength, but this is her first time in battle…
She can’t keep up her spirit!
You’re young, but I can see wisdom in those eyes.
You understand, right?
You’re no match for me.
Ah-
My strength is-
Senpai!
Page 66:
Wh
What is it this time!?
You bastard…
Caster!
Page 67:
I’m the Servant, Caster.
Due to circumstances, I’m currently the enemy of those guys.
I’m not saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but for now you can trust me.
Senpai.
Mash, are you alright!?
If you’re the Master, you need to be much more firm, kid.
She’s not bad fighting alone. Very brave.
But that girl needs your strength.
My strength?
I’ll leave the orders to you.
Got it?
If you could just tell me what you mean by orders…
Page 68:
There are seven basic classes of Servant.
Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker.
Heroic spirits are converted into these classes, according to their legends and powers.
The heroic spirits are vast sources of information stored within the planet.
When placed into a class, they are optimized for that vessel,
Changing them into a form usable by humans.
He’s the Mage, Caster.
That means-
He’s a spell chanter, a back-line fighter type!
If it’s like this!
Page 69:
Mash!
We need to let Caster concentrate on his attacks.
I’ll need you to head out front.
She’s got a lot of mobility.
If you move in close to her chest, It’ll limit her movement.
Can I actually do this?
You’re no match for me.
You saved me from those skeletons just a while ago, right?
You’ll definitely be fine!
That’s simply wishful thinking.
The far off
is like a fading light, I’m not sure I can reach it.
But—
Page 70:
Understood, Master!
Those words are reassuring!
I’ll do everything I can!
Hmph
What a useless bluff.
I’ll crush you this very instant.
Page 71:
Hey, girl.
That woman shouldn’t be looking down on you.
Go give her a tough
Welcome!
Wh-!?
Page 72:
Woah…
That fast!
That’s rune Magecraft.
He doesn’t chant spells,
He invokes mysteries through carving runes.
Page 74:
You’re very irritating…
Eat her up!!
Page 75:
Erupt into flames!
Page 76:
I’ll definitely be fine.
Even if it was just a
,
Those words cheered me up, and protected me.
If fear ever causes these legs to stop,
I will always,
Just like that—
Page 77:
Caster!
Leave it to me!
Page 78:
DIE!
I’LL KILL YOU!
YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO PLACE HERE!
DISAPPEAR, DRIFTER!
I…
Page 79:
I’m Senpai’s Servant.
That’s why,
I’ll keep fighting as long as
still stands.
Mash…
Page 80:
Enemy servant eliminated…
The battle is over…
SFX: Ha
SFX: Ha
Even though I thought it was impossible…!
Thanks,
You really saved me Mash.
Foou!
No,
I was the one who was saved…
I’m really happy I could help you out
Senpai.
Page 81:
Ah, Seriously!!
Why do Servant’s have to keep attacking!!
What should we do from now on!!
What about Chaldea?
What happened to the other candidates!?
Communications can’t get through…!
What should…
Leff…
Small text: Please calm down
There was an accident, but
Since the rayshift to the singularity was a success,
We should continue with the mission.
We should keep with our previous plans.
Investigate and work towards resolving the singularity. That’s the action I think we should take…
Anyway, let’s get moving.
We shouldn’t hang around in such an open place.
Page 82:
Chaldea, huh.
So that’s it. I understand your situation now.
That means you know this period’s original state?
According to the observations of
In 2004 Fuyuki, a special Magecraft ritual took place…
We confirmed that this Holy Grail War occurred.
Holy Grail War?
7 Masters use Servant’s to compete amongst each other.
The last one left will obtain the Holy Grail.
Its owner will be able to use its all-purpose power to grant any wish.
That’s the Holy Grail War.
Page 83:
However, before we knew it, our Holy Grail War had changed into something else.
One night, the town was covered in flames.
Only us Servants were left, all the humans had vanished.
If the Master disappears, the Servant should as well, right?
They should, but…
For the moment, I can feel myself connected to something else.
The Servant who first resumed the Holy Grail War was Saber.
Like a fish who found water, she began her rampage.
One after the other, she defeated all the other servants.
I’m the only one left.
Page 84:
The Servants Saber defeated were contaminated by the black mud.
She’s in control of them now.
That Lancer was one of them.
She’s just a corpse somehow held together by the mud.
The remaining Servants are Saber, and you, Caster.
So if you can defeat Saber…
This town’s Holy Grail War would most likely end.
That was my plan, but I just didn’t have enough strength.
Director,
This singularity that’s deviated from the correct time axis,
And the Holy Grail War occurring there that has become distorted…
Ending this war is an essential element to achieving our mission, is it not?
Page 85:
Servant Caster.
Our objectives and interests seem to align.
If that is the case, you shall co-operate with us.
Understand?
That aggressive…
I’ve said it, right?
This is the duty of human privilege.
This is the optimal choice under these circumstances.
Well that’s true, isn’t it.
I’ll help you out.
Well then, our strength has increased.
Let’s go take Saber’s stronghold.
If there was a cause of this singularity,
It’s unlikely to be anywhere else.
