• Tohsaka Aoi noticed Bai Yue had used much of his water on her, then watched him drink from his own bottle.

Tohsaka Aoi confirmed that Bai Yue had kept and used the bottle containing the substance she had given him during an embarrassing crisis, then accepted his possessive offer so she would not burden Rin and Sakura.

• The man explained that he and Tohsaka Aoi had shared a channel and watched Rin’s trial together for nearly half a month.
• Tohsaka Rin realized they had witnessed much of her embarrassing behavior during the trial and angrily challenged the man’s excuse for holding her mother.
• Sakura entered, saw Tohsaka Aoi with the man, and said she was glad they could all stay together forever.

Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura discovered their mother’s compromising situation and tried to hide their reactions so she would not feel ashamed. Bai Yue guided Sakura into a bold gesture to ease Aoi’s embarrassment, while Rin remained torn between joining them and keeping her reserve.

• Tohsaka Rin lifted Tohsaka Aoi and glimpsed Bai Yue’s exposed secret, then agreed to pretend she had seen nothing.
• Tohsaka Rin accidentally revealed that she had noticed, leaving Tohsaka Aoi even more mortified.
• Bai Yue telepathically asked Tohsaka Sakura to help Aoi feel less ashamed, and Sakura agreed.
• Tohsaka Sakura approached Aoi and began an intimate contest with her, leaving Rin stunned and reluctant to join.

Tohsaka Rin and Sakura tried to reassure their mother by joining her in increasingly outrageous behavior during the purification ritual. Rin overcame her embarrassment and followed Sakura’s lead, while Sakura continued escalating her actions.

• Sakura told Tohsaka Rin that their mother needed to see her join in so she would not feel ashamed or fear being judged.

Tohsaka Aoi, Tohsaka Rin, and Tohsaka Sakura all lost consciousness during the Holy Sword Purification Ritual and woke embarrassed by their scabbards’ reactions. Their daughters tried to reassure Aoi that they did not judge her, then asked her to join them in passing along the ritual’s residue.

• Rin woke up humiliated by her scabbard’s reaction and avoided looking at the person behind her.
• Sakura was glad the ritual had brought the family together, and Aoi realized her daughters had acted boldly to ease her worries about them.
• Aoi and her daughters experienced further aftershocks before the Holy Sword and scabbards separated, and Sakura and Rin cleaned the Holy Sword.
• Sakura handed Aoi a container and explained that she should take in its contents and pass them mouth-to-mouth; Rin offered her own container too.

Aoi Tohsaka fed the man a mixture from both cups, and Sakura prepared to continue the Holy Sword Purification Ritual while Rin objected to Sakura’s plan to claim several turns. Elsewhere, Ishtar and Ereshkigal mocked each other over embarrassing footage, got shocked by a barrier around their Master’s lounge, and decided to link themselves with their Master so they could interfere with her.

• Aoi Tohsaka mixed the contents of both cups in her mouth and fed them to the man, who told her to choose the next shrine maiden.
• Tohsaka Rin told Sakura to take the next turn, but Sakura said she would designate herself three times before handing the ritual to Aoi Tohsaka and began recording.

• Ishtar tried to break through the barrier at her Master’s lounge, and the barrier shocked both Ishtar and Ereshkigal.
• Ereshkigal proposed that she, Ishtar, and their Master share a trinity-like state that would let them interfere with one another, and Ishtar agreed to try it.

Tohsaka Rin discovered that Ereshkigal and Ishtar were sharing her sensations and vision during their trinity ritual. She challenged the goddesses to compete in the Holy Sword Purification Ritual, but they were left trying to figure out how to compete while sharing one sheath.

• Ereshkigal used her ability to connect with Tohsaka Rin, and the ritual began sharing Rin’s sensations with her and Ishtar.
• Rin pushed the Holy Sword into its sheath, startling the goddesses as they felt the same sensations and saw through her eyes.
• Rin realized the goddesses’ reactions were synchronized with hers and deliberately tested their shared sensations by thrusting and twisting the Holy Sword.
• Rin mocked the goddesses for seeming inexperienced, and they claimed to be experts in the Holy Sword Purification Ritual.
• Rin challenged Ishtar and Ereshkigal to prove their expertise by competing, but their shared trinity state left them with only one sheath.

Tohsaka Rin, Ishtar, and Ereshkigal split into three synchronized bodies to compete in the Holy Sword Purification Ritual, taking turns to discover which techniques affected each other most. The chapter ends with Ishtar learning that the texture of her scabbard makes it a rare masterpiece, though the demonstration leaves her embarrassed.

• Tohsaka Rin arranged for the three synchronized bodies to take turns controlling the ritual for one minute, while the Holy Sword’s owner agreed to referee.
• Tohsaka Rin found that her technique affected Ishtar more than Ereshkigal and continued adjusting it during her turn.
• Ereshkigal took control and discovered that a twisting technique affected Tohsaka Rin more than Ishtar.

• The Holy Sword’s owner brushed Ishtar’s foot to demonstrate the scabbard’s texture, making her realize his teasing point and blush before the ritual began.

Tohsaka Aoi won the Holy Sword purification damage contest, while Ishtar finished last and complained about the results. Bai Yue then introduced a new contest involving the secondary scabbard, and Ishtar boldly began before the others could respond.

• Ishtar began the timed purification contest, but soon realized that affecting the Holy Sword also caused backlash to its scabbard.
• Tohsaka Aoi, Tohsaka Rin, Tohsaka Sakura, Ereshkigal, and Ishtar competed in the five-person purification showdown, and Aoi made her Holy Sword react first.
• Bai Yue ranked Aoi first with 33% damage, Sakura second with 25%, Ereshkigal third with 17%, Rin fourth with 13%, and Ishtar last with 12%.
• Aoi blushed when Bai Yue praised her sincere effort, while Ishtar urged everyone to move on to another contest.
• Bai Yue proposed a purification contest using the secondary scabbard, and Ishtar crouched beside her Holy Sword and started while Rin and Ereshkigal watched in shock.

• Ereshkigal and Tohsaka Rin copied Ishtar’s actions, and the women competed until Sakura clarified what Bai Yue meant by the sub-scabbard.
• Bai Yue challenged the women to perform the ritual, and Tohsaka Sakura and Tohsaka Aoi completed their fusions first.
• Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Tohsaka Rin each tried to increase their damage as they watched Sakura’s powerful technique.
• Tohsaka Rin experimented with her rhythm and frequency while wondering whether her sub-scabbard was special.
• Tohsaka Sakura won the first duel with the highest damage and the final blow that made the Holy Sword drop items.

During the second Holy Sword purification contest, Tohsaka Rin concealed how strongly the secondary scabbard affected her, then unleashed a massive critical hit that won the round. The resulting reaction of her own scabbard exposed her unusual sensitivity, leaving her scrambling to explain herself as someone rushed to sample the substance it produced.

• Ishtar intensified her purification ritual after the caller praised her, hoping to overtake Sakura and claim the Holy Sword’s final drop.
• Tohsaka Rin’s final attack dealt 110,000 critical damage, suddenly moving her from last place to first and securing the victory.
• Ishtar realized Rin’s extraordinary damage came from her embarrassment and the unusual reaction of the scabbard she held.
• Rin recalled slowing down to hide the secondary scabbard’s increasingly pleasurable sensations, but the contest’s final moments overwhelmed her and triggered a reaction in her own scabbard.
• Rin tried to deny what had happened as Sakura, Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Aoi stared at her, but someone quickly smeared some of the resulting substance on himself to taste it.

The Holy Grail War’s final event began as a long item race in which Masters and Servants had to use special seats to replenish mana and power their vehicles.

• The contestants reviewed the standardized mana-powered vehicles and learned that the race would require them to replenish mana along the course.
• Jeanne sent the contestants to their positions, and Lainas discovered that the vehicle’s seats doubled as mana-charging devices.
• Mordred drove while using her vehicle’s defenses to evade Luviya’s attack, and she urged Illya to hurry with the purification ritual.
• Illya generated enough mana to trigger the nitrous boost, and Mordred’s vehicle accelerated away from Luviya and Medusa.
• Luviya watched Medusa keep close behind Mordred and identified Lainas and Scathach as the leading threat.

Luviya Serlinta and Medusa’s team struggled to keep pace as Karen Olsy and Gorskayya unleashed a stockpile of liquid nitrogen boosts during the race. Meanwhile, Bai Yue learned that the newly discovered world might be Labyrinth City Orario, and the chapter left him considering whether it came from a work he knew.

• Luviya Serlinta ordered Medusa to chase Karen Olsy’s team after they rammed past her and surged ahead with liquid nitrogen boosts.
• Medusa explained that Karen Olsy’s team had likely saved up multiple boosts, while Gorskayya prepared to push their race car to its limits.
• Stheno and Euryale commentated on the race and argued over the collected substances, until Bai Yue’s analysis showed Stheno had more of the special component.
• A kimono-clad girl relayed news of a newly discovered world to Bai Yue, and Shiki, SHIKI, and Ryougi worried that he might risk entering it without enough information.
• Bai Yue learned that the fragments of intelligence mentioned a dungeon and Labyrinth City Orario, and wondered if the world came from a work he knew.

Eina and Misha encountered a bloodied adventurer who submitted an old guild mission with a sack of proof. When an adventurer opened it, severed heads spilled across the hall, plunging the guild into chaos.

• Eina finished her paperwork and joined Misha at the guild reception desk as the rain kept visitors away.
• A burdened adventurer entered carrying a bloodstained sack, drawing tense looks from Eina and the adventurers in the hall.
• The adventurer took an old commission from the board and told Eina he was submitting the mission, with proof inside the sack.
• Eina tried to stop another adventurer from opening the sack, but he slashed it open and several severed heads rolled out, sending the hall into chaos.

Bai Yue collected a reward at the Guild, where two adventurers died in a chain of apparent accidents after one provoked him and another tried to attack him. After cooperating with the investigation, he reassured Eina that she was not to blame and explained how he had inferred the dead man’s interest in her.

• Eina gave Bai Yue 150 million Fali for the heads he had brought in, while nearby adventurers eyed him and some left the Guild.
• Bai Yue asked Eina whether he could defend himself if attacked, then tripped an adventurer who had deliberately bumped him; the man slipped, was struck by a falling Magic Stone lamp, and died from a sword wound to the neck.
• The dead adventurer’s companion charged at Bai Yue, slipped on fluid from a head he threw, and died after falling onto a nail from the broken Magic Stone lamp.
• The Guild treated both deaths as accidents and kept Bai Yue to cooperate with its investigation; Eina apologized, feeling the incident was connected to her.
• Bai Yue told Eina that the dead adventurer had likely provoked him out of jealousy after she rejected him, and said he had inferred this by observing the man’s expression and gaze.

Bai Yue asked Hestia for a Goddess’s bodily fluids, then clarified that he needed her blood to counter a curse that made his body stiffen. After Hestia’s blood temporarily restored his arm, he paid her and gave her a healing potion, leaving the curse unresolved.

• Eina saw Bai Yue meet Hestia at her food stall and offer her 150 million Fali for a small cup of her bodily fluids.

• Bai Yue gave Hestia gold coins and a high-grade healing potion, but said the blood’s effects would only last for a while.

Bai Yue joined Hestia’s familia and received his first Falna, but his attributes appeared as unreadable, shifting text alongside the ominous words “God Eater.” Hestia and Eina realized he had been hiding something, and Hestia questioned whether he had previously asked other gods for blessings.

• Bai Yue agreed to join Hestia’s familia, and Eina accompanied them to Hestia’s rundown church.
• Hestia bestowed a blessing on Bai Yue, whose Falna appeared as distorted, moving text that neither she nor Eina could read.
• Blood-red words reading “God Eater” appeared on Bai Yue’s back, and Hestia told him what she had seen.
• Hestia asked whether Bai Yue had already sought blessings from other gods, after he questioned her claim that this was his first blessing.

Bai Yue’s attempt to receive Hestia’s blessing revealed the title God Eater and the skill Fate Execution, but his ability values changed wildly and no blessing was confirmed. Hestia woke the next morning with Bai Yue gone, while Ais Wallenstein heard people discussing two suspicious deaths at the Guild.

• Hestia poured more of her blood onto Bai Yue’s back, and his status appeared with the name Bai Yue, level 2, and the title God Eater.
• Bai Yue’s ability values plunged to zero, surged to S999, and then began falling as Hestia and Eina watched in alarm.

• Hestia woke at an upscale inn beside the gold Bai Yue had paid her and remembered his request that she buy a house.
• Ais Wallenstein heard people talking about two men who had died strangely at the Adventurer Guild, then drew Bell’s attention to what lay ahead.

A boy caused four hostile adventurers to die through a chain of accidents, leaving the Loki Familia to suspect his apparent calculations and fear their role as witnesses. Meanwhile, Hestia startled Hephaestus by arriving with one hundred million Fali to buy a house, and Hephaestus asked where she got the money.

• A boy threw away a fruit peel, triggering a series of accidents that led four hostile adventurers to kill one another.
• Ais, Tione, and Tiona watched the deaths, while Finn concluded the boy had manipulated timing and psychological suggestion rather than controlled anyone with magic.
• Riveria confirmed she had detected no curse, and the Loki Familia considered how the boy could have calculated the chain of events.
• Hestia visited Hephaestus with one hundred million Fali and asked for help buying a house.
• Hephaestus asked whether Hestia had borrowed the money from Loki, then asked where it had come from.

After four men died in another apparent accident, Eina found no evidence that Bai Yue had caused their deaths and let him remain cleared of suspicion. When Bell confronted Bai Yue, Bell perceived a lethal attack and struck back, but everyone else saw Bell initiate the violence, leaving the Loki Familia to investigate what had happened to him.

• Hestia told Hephaestus that Bai Yue had willingly joined her Familia, and Hephaestus offered to help her find affordable lodging.
• Eina investigated the deaths of four men connected to the previous night's incident but found no evidence to implicate Bai Yue and stayed silent about her suspicion of his Fate Execution skill.
• Bortroc accused Bai Yue of manipulating the Loki Familia into witnessing his innocence, and Bai Yue challenged him to produce evidence.
• Bell believed Bai Yue had swung a sword at his neck, attacked him, and was stopped by Ais and Finn Dagan while bystanders saw Bell as the aggressor.
• Bell realized no one else had seen Bai Yue attack, and Riveria found no signs of mental contamination when the Loki Familia searched for an explanation.
• Bell suggested Bai Yue might have used an undetected drug, and Finn Dagan asked him to describe what he had felt.
