The Holy Grail?

"So many Rangers showed up?"

Sera raised an eyebrow.

"Was Busitu planning to set up his headquarters in here?"

Busitu: Bad luck again.

Beep, beep!

Sampo sent Sera a message.

[Uncle Cold Legs]: (Image)

[Uncle Cold Legs]: Boss, take a look. Is this the Holy Grail you told me about?

Sampo held a golden Holy Grail in both hands.

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: Yes. How much? Name your price.

[Uncle Cold Legs]: Oh, boss, come on now.

"The Holy Grail won't cost you a thing. The person who gave it to me said the ritual has already begun in Dual-Phase Paradise.

"You did me such a huge favor, so I'll bring you the Holy Grail right away."

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: Mm, there's an item transfer function.

[Uncle Cold Legs] transferred Holy Grail x1 to [Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: [Transfer: 1 million Credits]

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: Keep the money.

After that, Sera paid no more attention to the chat. The Holy Grail appeared in his hand.

"Oh?"

Sera looked with interest at the Command Spell that had appeared on his skin. (Based on Manaka Sajyou's version.)

It was actually the seraph version of the Command Spell?

"What's this?" Herta and Feiying also examined the Command Spells on their hands with curiosity.

"Director Sparkle knows this one!" Sparkle stood up proudly and produced a blackboard from somewhere.

"This is a wish-granting ritual from a colla- ahem... a planet."

She was actually going to say crossover world, wasn't she!

Sera couldn't help commenting to himself.

"The Holy Grail issues Command Spells. Those who have them are called Masters, and Masters summon figures from history as Servants. Then seven Master-Servant pairs fight until only one pair remains, and at that point, the Holy Grail can grant a wish!"

"This is just like something out of a manga!" Feiying grew excited.

Herta looked at Sera.

"Why does your Command Spell look like that?"

"Maybe because I'm a fallen angel, but still an angel?"

Sera tilted his head.

"As I recall, there have only been two Holy Grail Wars with this kind of Command Spell.

"Never mind that. Let's get to the exciting compatibility summoning!"

Sera found an open space nearby and began drawing a magic circle, while Herta and Ruan Mei watched to study its principles.

"Done!" Sera wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Now then, who's summoning first?"

"Me, me, me!"

Feiying bounced up and down, raising her hand.

"All right. You remember the lines, right?"

"Of course I do!"

Feiying stepped forward, and Sera silently backed out of the magic circle.

"Let it be declared!

"Your body shall serve under me, and my fate shall rest upon your sword.

"Answer the Holy Grail's summons, and respond to this will and reason!

"I do not come to bring about all the good in the world, but am destined to die destroying all the evil in the world.

"You are the seven heavens clad in the three great words of power. Descend here from the Ring of Deterrence.

"Guardian of the Scales!"

"Servant, Assassin, answering your summons."

A donkey-pfft!

Miss Fox stood at the center of the magic circle, a tachi in hand.

"Wow!"

Feiying's eyes lit up even more.

"She's a fox just like me!"

"I..."

Sakura was about to explain that she wasn't a fox when she spotted Sera standing nearby.

"You... are you the Herrscher of Corruption?" Sakura's expression was somewhat complicated.

"Yes. Hello, Miss Sakura~"

Sera greeted her naturally.

"Hello."

Sakura fell somewhat silent.

"All right, my turn."

Herta stepped forward.

Everyone silently moved aside.

Herta finished reciting the summoning chant.

"Servant, Lancer, answering your summons."

Ms. Black Tomb calmly emerged from the teleportation circle, not forgetting to say her line.

"The original?" Herta raised an eyebrow.

"My main body couldn't come, so I descended with a fragment of my consciousness."

Ms. Black Tomb sounded somewhat helpless.

"Black Tomb." Sera greeted her.

"Hello, my Savior~"

"My turn to summon."

Sera himself stood at the center of the magic circle.

As Sera recited the lines, the magic circle began to change, its light growing ever more dazzling.

"Guardian of the Scales!"

As the final words fell, a familiar figure descended.

"I knew it."

Sera sighed.

"Servant, Saber, Kiana Kaslana, answering your summons. Are you my Master?"

Kiana finished reciting her lines.

What could have better compatibility than an alternate self?

"Actually..." Kiana looked at Sera guiltily.

"You originally summoned Kevin, but I forced my way in ahead of him..."

"Forget it. It doesn't matter."

Sera let it go.

After all, Kiana had just gotten too bored staying on the moon and wanted to come out and have some fun.

What bad intentions could an adorable Kiana kitty have?

"Kevin..."

Sakura stepped forward.

"You... are you from Earth too?"

"Oh..."

Kiana looked Sakura over.

"You must be Miss Sakura. I've heard Mei talk about all of you."

"The Elysian Realm..."

Sakura nodded. She had a rough idea of how Kevin's story had ended.

The aura this girl gave off was probably Finality.

"So, roughly how much of your power can you use?"

Sera asked Kiana.

"Mm... I can use all of it~"

"All right, just declare me the winner."

Sera instantly lost all interest in fighting the Holy Grail War.

"Then I'll show you around Dual-Phase Paradise over the next few days."

"Yay!"

Kiana cheered happily.

Meanwhile, in the private world where Himeko was.

"Answer the call of the Trailblaze, navigators of the Astral Express across the generations!"

"Rider, Astral Express navigator Wojian, answering the summons of the Nameless. Are you the Nameless of this generation?"

"Wojian..." Himeko's expression was somewhat complicated.

"Hmm?"

Wojian had a bad feeling about this.

"Let me explain."

Suzi stepped forward, shielding Himeko behind them.

As Suzi spoke, Wojian came to understand everything.

"I see. He betrayed the Trailblaze, did he?"

Wojian narrowed his eyes, his voice icy.

"I will purge the traitor to the Trailblaze, even if that person is my future self."

"Junior." Wojian looked at Himeko.

"That genius was right. What can set the Trailblaze in motion is your heart."

Elsewhere...

Busitu and the cowboy opposite him were staring at each other.

"So, boss, did I just get summoned by this little cutie's Holy Grail as a Servant, for fudge's sake?"

"Looks like it."

Busitu was also a little baffled. Why had he summoned a living person?

"I'll go ask someone."

Busitu pulled out his phone, took a photo, and sent Sera a message.

[Just a Passing Detective]: Do you know about the Holy Grail War?

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: You became a Master too?

Busitu nodded. It seemed Sera knew about it.

[Just a Passing Detective]: Yes. The Servant I summoned is still alive. Do you know what's going on?

[Just a Passing Detective]: (Image)

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: That's normal. Two of the three over here are alive.

"If something happens, come with us. I'm not sure what happens when someone who's still alive is eliminated either."

[Just a Passing Detective]: Okay.

Busitu waved the screen at Boothill.

"There's hope."
