"…Looks like I was my assumption about the timeline I'm in was wrong in a sense." I muttered to myself, reading a Japanese newspaper in order to get some info as I made my way to Shirō Emiya's future home and possibly make it my home base if it's currently empty.

I'm 100% sure that the Greater Grail gave me the ability to understand Japanese because I was surprisingly able to communicate with a man that I meet once I was out of forest perfectly because I wouldn't be able to properly do that as never taken a single day of Japanese lessons.

I'm actually glad about the unnoticed info dump since I don't have to make a fool out of myself by trying (and failing) to communicate with someone in a foreign country.

Anyways, back to business. From what I can remember, the Fourth Grail War was in 1994 but the newspaper states that the date today is October 20 1993, months (not sure what was the exact date the war started in [Fate/Zero]) before the official war begins.

But I'm also glad that was the case, as I'll have more time to train with Sigurd's power and possible gain some usable powers in my base form in the long run. Now, the next step is to find a way to obtain the future Emiya Residence land because I only have some clothes and 5000 yen coins that I looted from punks-

-Hmm?

I stopped in my tracks when I noticed a particular scene from the corner of my eye, a group of kids playing around on the lawn. But the reasons why my eyes went to these kids is because of two children in particular really stood out, where I instantly knew who one of them is… After all, there's no way I wouldn't recognise that face with those twin-tails.

Rin Tōsaka, the masters of Emiya Archer in an alternate future.

The other child looked very familiar, having the same eyes and hair as Rin, but I can't seem to put my finger into it…

The other reason why this scene caught my attention is due to remembering that one of [Fate/Zero] masters is introduced here, Kariya Matō. He came to visit Rin, Sakura and their mother catch up and give the children some souvenirs… Only to find out that Sakura was not just disowned by her bastard of a father because of Magi reasons but she was passed to the family of Magi that Kariya left behind like some toy can be given in Christmas-

I turned to my left out of instinct when I felt someone just pass by me, only to see the person that I've been thinking about for the last few seconds: Kariya Matō.

Heh, I guess that old saying 'Speak of the Devil, and here he comes' really is true in a sense.

I continue to look at Kariya to see him meet up with a fair looking woman, who smiled fondly at her friend when he greeted her casually before talking about something. I began moved closer to the pair in order to hear about their conversation while making it seem like I'm just passing by as I read the papers. It's a good thing that Magi can't sense each other like characters in DBZ because they might notice me as a Demi-Servant and be on edge.

"Uncle Kariya!" Rin and the familiar looking girl shouted happily with smiles on their faces as they ran towards their uncle…

No way, it's not possible for her to be here. I mean, didn't Nasu and the Butcher set her fate into a life of misery as a child in-

"Welcome back, Uncle Kariya!" The other kid greeted Kariya with an innocent once she and Rin were in front of him.

…Please, tell me that my way of thinking about Sakura's fate wrong! I don't want to image her crying out for any kind of help as Zōken's Crest Worms violate the young girl after hearing that heartfelt greeting towards the only one that went through hell just to save her!

"Did you brought us presents?" Rin asked while she and Sakura looked at their uncle with bright eyes, completely oblivious to their mother's embarrassed face.

Pretty sure that Kariya is still smiling despite his back turned at me, he gave the sisters the presents that he was hiding behind him.

"Waah… They're so beautiful!" The duo said with bright smiles on their faces before giving their uncle Kariya an even brighter smile if that's even possible… Makes me wonder if these glasses have any shades mode because I don't want to be blinded by their innocent radiance "Thank you very much uncle, we promise to take care of them!"

I let out a small smile at hearing those words, even if they weren't directed towards me. Now, if only the last member of the /Stay Night heroines were here as a cute child and said that line alongside…

…!?

I stopped in my tracks once again, this time out of surprise at the thing that I noticed in Sakura Tōsaka's hand. Not the gift that she just received from Kariya, but the red tattoo on her right hand that looks exactly like her future self…

…How the hell does she have Command Seals!?

Still pretending that I'm reading the paper, I moved away from the group after getting my act together while thinking of possibilities on why Sakura isn't a Matō (I'm still glad that she's not) and why was she picked over her father as the representative of the Tōsaka Family for the Fourth Holy Grail War:

The Matō family not existing is out of the window due to Kariya being here, so maybe they've died out as a family of Magi with their current generation like the completely useless Wakabe and was forced to become a normal human family? Or is the old sack of worms still intend of participating for the war by (this is a stretch) making a designer baby to house a Heroic Spirit like Mash out of the Wakabe to actually make use of him?

If the latter was the case, will the normally useless Wakabe actually become useful for once in his entire existence for his family's name and honour, even if it's just in an alternate reality that might mean he's different here!? I actually want that to happen as I really want to beat up Shinji for the heinous crimes of his counterpart and to completely destroy the Matō Family to piss off the old bag of worms.

But if the former was the case, then will another family like the Ainsworth or the Animusphere took their place in the war if either one or both clans exist in this reality for the chance to get their wish granted? I mean, I can't think of possible options as the Edelfelt Family probably won't try again due to the humiliation of their heiresses losing (and they probably don't want the current generation representative to die) and I'm not sure of the existence of the families that form the Yggdmillennia as they only became Masters due to their own unique circumstances.

As for Sakura getting picked over her father, could it mean three things:

1) She has a desire that made the Grail choose her over Tokiomi, possible to prove her use and not be abandoned by her family. It's honestly not a stretch as she's just a child that has a loving sister and mother, she would obviously want to keep that feeling of being loved. Plus, Tokiomi was never an interesting person since he was simply a Magus that never had a dream that he can call his own. It would always be about the ways of how a Magus should act, like perfecting magecraft and aiming to reach the Root in a similar way to a certain annoying ninja that keeps on yapping about his dream.

2) She is more capable to become a host for a Heroic Spirit than her father. In FGO, it's shown that the reason a Divine Pseudo-Servant like Ishtar exists as a Servant and is more good than their legend would tell them is due to the influence from the host and their compatibility with each other. Tokiomi was never a good and interesting person as he has the typical Magi mindset, so he wouldn't have a serious influence over the Servant even if he could become a host. Especially when his children proved to be better hosts by housing Divine Spirits, a type of being that should be impossible to summon in any kind of Holy Grail.

Or 3) A combination of the two possibilities… The only natural for a potential Master to have both reasons to be selected because it would be ridiculous if Sakura was been picked if she doesn't have a wish and isn't capable to become a Servant in the first place.

…Now that I thought about it, the dragon never told me about the status of the three magi families that created the Holy Grail War, just stuff about the world of Magi that it happened to know due to a certain annoying but surprisingly talkative dimension hopping bloodsucker that likes to visit her. Granted, it would be extremely lucky if me for all of my questions about this world to be answered by a mythical being that I happen to meet the first I get here, so she obviously doesn't know everything.

Well, I just so happen to know the right person to question about the situation… Hopefully, that person knows what's going on.

- an hour later -

"Heh, the place looked like it hasn't aged a bit."

I muttered to myself as I walk through the front gate of Fuyuki Church, the place where the Supervisor of each Fuyuki Grail War is usually located. Even if I only saw this church from the anime, I still think that it looks new despite having some signs of ages… Makes me wonder if members of the Church have some cleaning duties in order to make the churches look so new?

I shook my head to clear out such thoughts as I was nearing the front door. I opened the door and entered the building without knocking, having a gut feeling that the Supervisor is expecting me to appear or something like that.

The insides of the church look very clean with the simple white paint, not even having a single speck of cobwebs at the corners and the benches that most churches have all look recently polished… But what really caught my attention was the nun, kneeling front of the altar at the end of the room and is amazingly hot as hell.

Even when I'm standing by the door and she has her back turned towards me, I can make out the shape of her body (AKA, her measurements) with my enhanced eyesight and the info from the [Crystallized Wisdom]: B96/W58/H86.

"Welcome, young man." A nun greeted with an alluring tone that matches her incredibly sexy, with the sound of experience that almost like this nun knew how to be seductive enough that most men will be popping boners from just a few sweet words… And why is it sound so goddamn familiar?

The nun stood up from her position and turned to face me, making me realise who she is… After, there's no way I wouldn't recognise the owner of those lewd eyes and that seductive smile.

Kiara Sessyoin, the Devil's Bodhisattva, the Last Prophet, the Planet Fucker, the real Main Antagonist of [Fate/Extra CCC] and Beast III/R of FGO.

"What brings you here?" The Thot asked with a slutty smile that make me wonder one thing… Why the hell did the Church picked her as the Supervisor of Fuyuki for the upcoming war instead of the Kotomine Family, when she clearly looks like a porn-star that does it with anyone every day?

"To register as a Master, to the Servant Saber to be more specific." I started by showing her my Command Seals, which looked like a twin-bladed sword with the blades having a gap that forms a spiky heart shape near the sword guard and the hilt and guard looking like a cross and looks like it's piercing the heart. I lowered my right hand before placing it on my side while gazing at the nun with a shape glare "And to ask a few questions, with question one: Is it possible to know how many masters have been selected for the upcoming war"

I went straight to the point, having no reason to potentially drag the conversation on and staying in this place any longer than I want to… After playing through CCC, even if it was 'the X character is secretly the last boss' cliche was used, her demeanour makes her seem innocent yet slutty. She is a confusing person to deal with, and that's what makes her dangerous and untrustworthy to the very core.

Who knows, she might actually be the last boss in the upcoming war as well… But for now, I'll keep my distance from her.

"Ara ara, are you more interested in knowing about than knowing about your enemies than Lil ol' me?" Kiara asked with a fake teasing smile while resting her head on her right hand, with her arm wedged between her breasts.

"…" I just kept my expression the same, refusing to humour the woman with her mind games by reacting the way normal people would in her presence… And for some strange reason, I feel that I would be cheating on someone dear to me if I did fall for Kiara's mind games.

It's honestly weird.

"Well, I suppose that I can answer your questions anyways since someone much better suited for this situation will be taking my place as the Supervisor once that person arrives here." I perked up at Kiara's words, a bit surprised that she actually went with my request while the gears in my head began to turn as I try to deduce who exactly is taking her place "There are currently six confirmed masters, with only two Servants that are currently active at the moment. You're one of two active Servants, with the other one coming here to Fuyuki in order to supervise the new Holy Grail War in my place once it starts."

…To think that a Ruler is summoned in this war. Honestly, I'm such an idiot for letting such an important thing slip through my mind when this kind of thing already happened before in [Fate/Apocrypha] with the Trifas Holy Grail War.

While I wouldn't be doubtful and paranoid of the Ruler's alliance to the point that I would kill it, I'll be pretty cautious of the Servant since it will have Command Seals that can control me. Hell, I'll be even more cautious if the Ruler in question is Shirō Tokisada Amakusa due to his dream of World Peace. While it's truly a classic N.B.I.D, the method of how his wish will is truly frightening, to say the least.

"I see…" I muttered to myself before back to Kiara "Can you explain why the Servant that I summoned is fused with me instead of getting its own physical form like in the first three wars?"

"Forgive me, but I can't answer that question as I too don't know the full details of the situation." The woman said with a fake comforting smile… Why the hell are you giving me a smile like that? I didn't even do anything that worth's any of that from you "The Fourth Holy Grail War is going to be the first of it's kind, with the three great families that created the Holy Grail War not having a full explanation on why this happened. But the only thing they are sure of is the cause: The Servant used by the Einberns in the previous Holy Grail War, the Demi-Servant."

"Is that so?" I muttered to myself with a slight sigh, disappointed that I can't have all the questions in my head answered by the supervisor right now. Well, what I got is still better than nothing… Hopefully, Ruler has a much better idea of the situation and can answer all possible questions "Then I can guess you can't answer the rest of my questions since most of them are related to this weird war." I gave the nun a slight bow before turning around to get the hell out of this place because I fell really uncomfortable under her lewd glaze "I'll be on my way out."

"Wait." Kiara's voice stopped me in my tracks, causing me to turn towards her with a raised eyebrow "What is your name, Master Saber?"

"John Diego Segui." I said with a shrug while opening the door and without a second glance towards the nun, I exited the building and made my way out of the 'neutral' area for the upcoming war.

There still some questions that I wanted to be answered, like what kind of Servants will be summoned using the bodies of the other Masters. While I know that the question would never be answered by the nun as it would break the oath of neutrality, I can't help but be curious about this subject due to the possibilities available:

Can the Master's pick the Servant that they want to summon with a catalyst like in the previous wars? But would the summon fail if the Servant isn't capable to fuse with the Master or will the Grail just bring a Servant that's compatible with the Master's body, not caring if the personalities of the host and Servant are far from compatible like Kiritsugu and Artoria relationship?

Even if the Master/Servant have great compatibility with each other that enables the fusion, would the host have full control like me, Mash and Waver, or is the Servant in full control with some influence from the Master like what happened to the Tōsaka siblings, Jaguar Man and Muramasa?

I shook my head in order to get rid those thoughts, realising that overthinking things will get me nowhere at all when my questions will be answered once the Fourth Holy Grail War begins or when I ask the Ruler once the Servant is here. All I have to do is prepare for the inevitable bloodshed within half-a-year or so.

Now, time to find a way to get that house… And I have a scummy idea on how to get it.


"Damn it, what's taking the damn school so long to finish?" I muttered to myself impatiently as I waited for my target to appear out of the building: Taiga Fujimura.

From what I remember about Tiger, her family runs a yakuza organisation that operates in Fuyuki and typical yakuza/mafia families have tons of cash with them.

What I plan for Taiga is to pull a string of events that will place her a situation where she might die in an accidental manner, but I suddenly save her from death from out of nowhere. If she really appreciates me saving her, I can hopefully ask her family to get me the house even for two years since I'll leave Fuyuki once the war is over by using the Grail.

And so I went to the Tōsaka Sister's future high school, where I sat on top of a power line like some ninja to wait for Taiga's classes to finish…

But I've been waiting for hours!

It honestly a good thing that I'm resistant to the elements now as a Servant because I would be sweating buckets by this point due to being under the sun for so long. Hell, I can see people taking pictures of me from the bottom and are no doubt wondering why some foreigner is in such a place for sightseeing when there are better places to visit, like Akihabara.

I let out a sigh, wondering if my Luck is at play for making me look like a fool. And my Luck was already back as a human: Failing to get any SSR Servants in FGO unless I use Paid Quarts, never getting a girlfriend that's truly faithful to our relationship, and now getting dragged to a war that-

Hmm?

I perked up when I saw a bunch of students started to come out of the main school building. Finally! Now I just have to identify which student is Taiga to set up…

Shit, I forgot that I never saw Taiga in her youth as a JK(Joshikousei AKA Japanese High School Girl)!

In any [Fate/Series] that she finds herself in, she's usually in her adult self (OG and Extra are teachers and a Psuedo-Servant Jaguar Man in FGO) and never any mention or even visual image of her younger years. I can't sense her presence since I never meet her before to get a grasp of her energy, and I wouldn't even have to do that if I know her appearance in the first place.

I have to think of a way to find her without the pre-knowledge of knowing Taiga's teenage self and without running around just to ask others where she. I don't to be seen as some foreigner that wants to have a good time a cute JK, because I have more of a preference for older sister-type women that wear glasses and thighs…

Speaking off messing up a JK, I've noticed there's been a car park near the school with some shady looking guys inside for some time now. The possibility of them being under the command of Taiga's grandfather is low to zero due to their serious facial expression, the same expression when a group of soldiers are about to do a mission that might cost them their lives.

And based on their view, they seem to be looking for someone in particular just like me… I believe that we have the same target in mind. Thinking about it clearly, it wouldn't it be out of nowhere for another Yakuza group to pop-up/form within Fuyuki and end up in conflict with the ones secretly ruling the city. The same thing happens to the Mafioso in Europe or any group in any country, a leader's ego won't allow someone else believes that they're top dog of the area/town unless they like the opponent or respect the each other and will result in gang wars.

One of the guys at the back suddenly pointed at someone, bringing my attention towards the person they're in question to see a young girl with brown hair that's tied in a ponytail… And like any MC in an anime, she's dressed differently from the other students as her attire consists of a tracksuit jacket with bloomers instead of the school uniform that the other student wear.

The two guys in the back get off the car and made a move to follow our MC while the driver woke-up the engine before reversing away for another route. Looks like I've found my target, and those guys will be the perfect goons to set up the situation for my 'heroic' debut.

Killing two birds with one stone.
