012, Berserker!!!

Archer had participated in a previous Holy Grail War?!

Then which one was it...?

Just as the question nearly slipped from her lips, Rin Tohsaka saw Rimuru's faintly narrowed eyes and amused smile, and suddenly remembered what Lord Animusphere of the Clock Tower had said—yes, Servants surely had pasts they did not wish to explore.

If a Servant had won one of the previous Holy Grail Wars, then having fulfilled his wish, he certainly would not answer the Holy Grail's summons again.

A painful past of failure was probably something most people would not want to bring up, right?

Rin turned around, recalling Saber's angry expression when she had risen to her feet earlier. She suppressed her curiosity to get to the bottom of it. She was willing to show her Servant a measure of respect; after all, they had once been heroes of legend and naturally should not be treated this way.

Just as Animusphere had said, every hero's combat experience and way of doing things were more mature than hers. If something concerning them had not been told to her, then it simply meant the time had not yet come—

Still... Rin cast Rimuru one last curious glance, and the scene from the past she had once glimpsed surfaced in her mind.

That scene had been from the modern era. Could it have been Archer's memory of being summoned? But... if it had been a Holy Grail War, that did not seem right either. She knew Fuyuki City well, and there had absolutely never been a park of that scale in modern times.

It was truly strange. The unknown and the mysterious planted a seed in Rin Tohsaka's heart. At last, determination lit up her eyes as she thought, Come on, let me see what you're hiding, Archer.
