Director Kayneth: "What are you laughing at!"

Director Kayneth: "Hmm? Wait, who are you?"

Kayneth said he did not remember anyone called Feng Xi in the group yesterday.

Feng Xi: "I'm Extra Xi."

Bluebeard: "Ah! It's you! I'll kill you to avenge Ryunosuke!"

Feng Xi: "Here we go again. I told you, save that for when you get off the Throne of Heroes."

Princess Consort: "Wait, why did your name change?"

Feng Xi: "I changed it myself."

Feng Xi: "Every group member gets one chance to change their name. Didn't you see?"

Princess Consort: "...Sorry, I really didn't notice."

Waver: "There, my own name really does look better. What the hell was that Princess Consort name, anyway?"

King of Conquerors: "Boy, a name is just a label. There's no need to worry about it."

Artoria: "Yes, well said."

Feng Xi: "Then don't change yours!"

Artoria: "Ahem, the nickname Ahoge King profanes the symbol of a king. I cannot accept it."

King of Heroes: "Exactly. The nickname this so-called group gave me simply profanes a king's dignity."

Waver: "Huh? Who are you?"

Feng Xi: "Do you even need to ask? You can tell it's Gilgamesh just from his tone."

King of Heroes: "Insolent! How dare you disrespect your king!"

Feng Xi: "Sorry, but you're not my king."

If it were Wise King Gilgamesh, I'd give him the respect he deserved, but you, Chuunibyou Gilgamesh? Forget it.

Waver: "Why aren't you using your real name?"

King of Heroes: "Hmph, how could mongrels like you be allowed to know this king's illustrious name?"

Rin Tohsaka: "This guy's insulting people again. He really has no manners."

King of Heroes: "Little girl, I've put up with you long enough. Don't think I won't lay a hand on a child!"

Chapter 8: Feng Xi Crashes the Party

(Artoria)

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Enough, Rin. Have you forgotten all the etiquette I taught you?"

Others might not know the King of Heroes, but he could not have been more familiar with him.

This was the very Servant he was preparing to summon.

But just as Rin had said, this king had terrible manners, and now he was arguing with his daughter.

He could only hope those were words spoken in anger, and that the king would not stoop to arguing with Rin after his arrival.

[Ding! The first question is about to begin!] [This is a matching question. Please watch the following video, then make the correct matches.]

The video began playing.

[In a secluded grove, Waver stood before the summoning circle he had drawn and began chanting.]

["I hereby declare: your body shall heed my command, and my fate shall rest upon your sword."]

["If you would dwell within the Holy Grail, then answer, in accordance with this will and this reason."]

[The scene shifted to a church, where Kiritsugu Emiya stood before a summoning circle, making his declaration. Madam Irisviel stood beside him.]

["Here I swear: I shall become all the good in the world, and I shall suppress all the evil in the world."]

[The scene shifted again to the worm pit, showing Kariya Matou. His hair had already turned gray, and veins bulged across half his face. Old Worm stood beside him.]

["Yet you shall cloud your eyes with chaos and serve me."]

[The scene changed to Kayneth, with his fiancée Sola beside him.]

["You are the one imprisoned within the cage of madness, and I am the one who holds your chains."]

[The scene shifted once more to Tokiomi Tohsaka, with Risei Kotomine and Kirei Kotomine standing beside him.]

["You, seven heavens clad in the three great words of power, come forth from the Wheel of Restraint, guardian of the scales."]

[Then white light flashed.]

["Are you my Master?"]

[The first to appear was a young blonde girl in knight's armor, with a single ahoge sticking up from her head.]

[An introduction appeared beside her: King Arthur-Artoria Pendragon.]

[The scene then changed to a haughty man clad in golden armor.]

[King of Heroes-Gilgamesh.]

[Next came a burly man with red hair and a red beard.]

[King of Conquerors-Iskandar.]

[A tall, thin man wielding two spears.]

[Radiant Visage-Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.]

[A black figure wearing a skull mask, whose gender could not be discerned.]

[Gymnastics Troupe.]

[A knight clad in purple armor, his true appearance completely hidden.]

[Knight of the Lake.]

[And a bizarre man with a crazed expression, dressed like a clown, with octopus eyes.]

[Bluebeard.]

Waver: "Is this a video of us summoning our Servants later?"

Waver: "Then this matching question is pretty obvious. It wants us to match the Masters with their Servants."

Kayneth: "Hmph, anyone can see that."

Kayneth: "But why weren't the last three Servants' true names shown?"

[Because their true names have not been revealed in the group.]

Waver: "You can do that? Then didn't I get the short end of the stick?"

King of Conquerors: "Don't worry, boy. Even if my true name is revealed, it won't cause this king much trouble."

Kayneth looked at the holy relic of Diarmuid he had gone to such trouble to obtain and considered whether to replace it.

He had not even summoned him yet, and his name had already been exposed. What was that supposed to be?

Tokiomi Tohsaka, on the other hand, was not worried. Even if everyone knew his true name, he still believed no one was a match for Gilgamesh.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Avalon in his hand and sank into thought.

So King Arthur was a young girl? She doesn't look particularly strong.

Waver: "Strange, something's not right."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "What is it?"

Waver: "The Servants who appeared in the video just now should be the seven Servants in this Holy Grail War, but only five Masters seem to have appeared."

King of Conquerors: "Ah, now that you mention it, you're right."

Artoria: "Were some left out?"

Kayneth: "Hmph, still an immature boy after all."

Kayneth: "Pay attention. The video isn't over yet."

["It really came out!"]

[Opposite Bluebeard, Ryunosuke Uryu wore an excited expression, and his name was helpfully displayed beside him.]

Waver: "Why did it just reveal one of the answers?"

Kayneth: "Everyone probably already knew that answer, so revealing it makes no difference."

Bluebeard: "Ah! Ryunosuke!"

Bluebeard: "Feng Xi, I'll kill you!"

He had been immersed in the joy of seeing "Jeanne d'Arc," but upon seeing that he should have been summoned by Ryunosuke Uryu in this War of the Holy Grail, Bluebeard went mad again.

[The scene shifted to a small Chinese-style storehouse, where a young man stood scratching his head before a summoning circle.]

["Strange, why isn't it working? Could my information be wrong?"]
