Volume 2
Page 3:
You’ll force your way through?
Do what you please.
I’ll be going now.
!!
Why are you surprised?
The conclusion is already set in stone.
Even if you manage to survive for a little longer,
It’s too late.
Humanity has already perished.
Page 4:
This is humanity being denied by human history itself.
It’s not from reaching an evolutionary dead end,
Or even destruction from wars between nations.
By their own meaninglessness!
Their own powerlessness!
Humanity has lost the favour of our king!
Page 5:
They’re worth less than a scrap of paper!
That’s why they’ll burn, and not even a trace will be left!
Page 6:
I am Leff Lynor Flauros.
I oversaw the year 2015, to ensure the destruction of humanity.
With that, I bid you farewell. Mash, Romani,
And last of all,
The 48th candidate.
Page 7:
!!
Ha-
!?
Ha-
Ha-
…
My room…?
Back in Japan?
Page 8:
Was it a dream…?
Everything that happened until now.
All of it…?
Eugh…
….
Page 9:
What an idiot…
A dream. Really?
Page 10:
This was the dream.
Chapter 5 > Grand Order
Page 11:
Oh.
So this is what it means.
For the world to burn.
Page 12:
Ha
Ha
Ha
I- I’m sorry, Senpai.
I hadn’t planned to come into your room, but
You sounded in pain, so I-
I’m fine.
There’s nothing to worry about.
Thank you, Mash.
…
I see…
….
So…
Page 13:
We’ve come back, haven’t we.
To Chaldea.
Yes.
It was after Professor Leff… Leff Lynor disappeared.
The Doctor gave the order to rayshift us.
We’ve returned to Chaldea, 2015.
You were extremely fatigued, and ended up fainting.
You were carried back to this room. That’s where you are now.
So that’s what happened… It seems I caused soom of trouble.
The Director,
She didn’t come back…
…
No…
Page 14:
…
I’m fine. Let’s go
You came here to get, right Mash?
Yes. We’ll head to the control room.
The Doctor’s waiting there.
Page 15:
Hiya.
It’s a strange thing, isn’t it? I got addicted when I was in Japan.
Oh, do you want a mandarin?
Why are you lazing around…?
That’s no good.
Because of the state of emergency, lazing around…
Or rather, being relaxed, is important. (Handwriting: And the heating’s broken too.)
Alrighty….
Leaving that aside,
Page 16:
Congratulation on coming home alive, Fujimaru-kun, Mash.
Thanks for all your hard work in completing the First Order.
Even though everything was pushed onto you two bit by bit.
You eliminated the singularity at Fuyuki,
And returned home safely.
For that I thank and respect you from the bottom of my heart.
……
But…
Our losses
Were too much.
……
You’re right…
Page 17:
You already know about the director.
But 70% of Chaldea’s staff died in the explosion Leff caused.
All the Master candidates remain alive, but apart from you they’re all out of commission.
The most important equipment in the control room and elsewhere has been restored, but there’s a lot we haven’t been able to do.
You could say that Chaldea, created to safeguard the future of humanity, is on its death bed.
Wow,
The situation is really that bad…
Leff by himself managed to cause all this.
However,
Page 18:
That’s why
We’ll take over from those who’ve died.
To protect humanity.
Protect
Humanity?
Wait, you mean—!
No,
Leff was probably telling the truth, the destruction of humanity is fixed.
The light of civilization is still gone from beyond the year 2016.
In spite of the fact that we eliminated the Fuyuki singularity.
That’s…
Page 19:
We had believed that that Fuyuki was the source of the future’s distortion…
But in truth, that wasn’t the case.
Please look at this.
We’ve once again scanned the earth’s past using the restored Shiba.
……!
This is…!
Page 20:
Marked on the map…
7 dark spots?
And here’s a question, Fujimaru-kun.
How do you think Leff brought humanity to ruin?
How… I don’t know anything like that.
Of course. I was just teasing a bit.
……
The Holy Grail.
Page 21:
The Director talked about it right?
The grail has “the power to grant any wish.”
Leff used the power of that grail.
He changed the events in the past,
Altering history.
What do you mean by that…?
Why would just changing the past cause humanity to be destroyed?
Your question is quite reasonable.
It’s true that a small change to the past won’t change the future.
And it shouldn’t lead to
the destruction of humanity.
But,
What if the events that were altered,
Page 22:
Were the ultimate turning point,
Upon which humanity’s history was decided.
Turning…
Pont?
“If this war hadn’t ended.”
“If this voyage hadn’t been a success.”
“If this invention wasn’t made.”
“If this country hadn’t gained its independence.”
Places and times where “If that past was changed, the history of humanity would deviate greatly.”
Those are the ultimate turning points.
Page 23:
These 7 points
Shown up here.
So you mean Leff…!
Altered those turning points.
Just like Fuyuki, the areas in which history was altered have become singularities.
This caused the foundations of human history to crumble.
And the collapse of humanity to be assured.
That’s crazy.
Is there even a way to stop something like that?
……
Page 24:
Rayshift.
I said they were singularities, didn’t I?
In other words,
They’re just like Fuyuki.
Just like you stopped the Holy Grail War,
If we can rayshift to each singularity and return history to its correct form,
The singularity will be eliminated.
That is the only method to saving humanity.
In that case, we should start right now!
But…
Page 25:
The only one who can rayshift
Is you.
Huh?
For a person to rayshift they require particular qualities.
We gathered these people from all over the world, but we were only able to find 48.
To be a Master candidate is to have the aptitude for rayshifting.
But like I said before, the other Master candidates are out of commission.
So right now, the only ones who can rayshift
Are you and your servant, Mash…
In this situation it’s almost like I’m forcing this upon you,
But I don’t have any other option.
Page 26:
The two of you have already rayshifted to Fuyuki in the year 2004,
Recovered the Holy Grail and reverted history back to its correct form.
If you want to save humanity,
If you want to take back the future beyond the year 2016,
You need to repeat that 7 times.
In different countries, different times. We’ve no choice but for you to do it again.
All by yourself,
You need to fight against these 7 human histories.
Page 27:
Master candidate number 48, Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Do you have that resolve?
Do you have the strength
To carry Chaldea’s... humanity’s future?
Page 28:
Outside.
What’s it like out there?
Communications have been cut off.
The staff we sent to check on the situation haven’t returned…
We don’t know the reason
Perhaps it’s the shockwaves from the collapse of human history.
At any rate.
The world outside Chaldea has been destroyed.
Page 29:
But Chaldea is safe.
The magnetic waves of Chaldeas being emitted, it’s creating a barrier. Even Leff can’t make a move on—
I thought that
I’d make a
Call.
To Dad,
To Mum,
To my friends.
Since I disappeared so suddenly,
They were probably worried about me…
Page 30
If I could talk about this place,
About the people I’ve met here,
That would have been nice.
That’s what I was thinking.
But…
Everyone…
Everyone…
They’re nothing but ashes!
Page 31:
I don’t have resolve.
I don’t think I’ve even understood everything you’ve said just now.
But I don’t like it…
I can’t stand it ending.
Not like this.
That’s why I…
I’ll
Carry that burden!
Page 32:
If,
It’s something I’m able to do!
Page 34:
Senpai!
Thank you.
Those words will decide our fate.
Doctor?
Page 35:
Relay this to all surviving Chaldea staff members!
From this point in time, Romani Archaman is officially taking on the role of commanding officer!
We will act on the plans of the previous director, Olga Marie Animusphere.
We will fulfil her mission for the continuation of human order!
Page 36:
Our objective is the protection and recovery of human history.
Our target is to retrieve the relic thought to be the cause from each era, the “Holy Grail”
Our opponent to fight is history itself.
Standing in your way will be many heroic spirits and legends.
By taking up that challenge,
You will need to defy the past itself.
Page 37:
To protect humanity,
We’re standing against human history.
But to remain alive, we must fight.
No, to take back the future, we must fight.
So,
No matter what conclusion is waiting for us,
We hold more than enough resolve.
The operation name will no longer be First Order.
Page 38:
This is both Chaldea’s last and first mission.
To protect human order. Designation, Grand Order.
With the highest-ranking mission in the world of magecraft,
We will take back the future!
