Prologue

After the fateful events of the 5th Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City- where Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh were defeated by Emiya Shirou and Saber, who restored peace to the small town after destroying the corrupted Holy Grail… but does it end there?

The chapter unfolds 10 years later on a sunny spring morning in where our protagonist makes her first appearance in a huge Japanese mansion.

I wandered through the foggy forest as far as my legs can carry me; soon I came to a halt. A dragon corpse laid flat on the open ground, stench of death smeared the air as fog covered a young man covered in red liquid around his body. The young man slowly turns his head and looked straight towards me as if the fog doesn't exist. Hast thou beckoned me from my slumber?

-Time has unfrozen-

Birds chirping sounded the entire small cozy room inside the house

?: "mmhmmm…it's morning already?"

Slowly getting up from my bed, in a drowsy daze I turn only to notice the alarm clock it reads 7:00am.

?: "…Seven?...am?...OH NO!"

I get out of bed quickly without tidying it up, hastily grabbing my uniform from the nearby closet; changing into it as quickly as possible. Grabbing my school bag lying on the table with a sleight of hand; I took off towards the front door, leaving the mess of clothes behind. As I slammed the door behind me, laying foot on a couple of door steps nearly threw me off balance.

?: "I AM SOOOO LATEEEEEE….!"

I am Hayashi Chiyo (林千代), an average 18 year old teenage girl- well… at least not on the clumsy scale. After the death of my step-mom and the disappearance of my step-father shortly after, I moved from Tokyo to Fuyuki; after she left a huge amount of inheritance for me.

As I was unable to cope with Tokyo's busy school life, I decided to settle down in Fuyuki City- having no plans to go back there since it was my hometown where my blood-parents were killed by unknown causes which doctors couldn't identify.

Following their death, I was adopted by my current step-parents, who treated me like their own daughter. Moving to Fuyuki City was my cousin, Nakahira's idea since he managed to get hold of a huge Japanese mansion that is fairly near to my transferred school: 'Homurabara Gakuen'.

Nakahira is currently my guardian- he visits me occasionally despite being busy with his accounting job. I'm half glad: not being lonely with his company. But on the other hand he can be quite a nuisance.

I'm satisfied with my performance in school, having scored 'A' or higher for all subjects except for practical classes like cooking- due to my clumsiness it usually ends up in a 'smoky' disaster. As I took kendo classes back in Tokyo, my interest continued on to school- which I'm currently captain of the kendo club since joining a year back after I become Fuyuki's kendo school champion.

It's my 2nd year in Fuyuki now, and well… starting of school doesn't seem to go as well as I thought. As fate starts to take a different turn in my life…
