Wake up! XX!

Welcome to Oh, it's you guys.

？！

Say hello to Henry Jekyll, hotel manager! ...That is, for the duration of ServantFes, at least.

Somebody has to take care of the various administrative duties for an event like this if it is to go smoothly.

That so. Sounds like a lotta work. Anyway, we wanna check in.

Yes, of course. It looks like Blackbearder, Mr. Blackbeard reserved a suite. Is that acceptable?

Hell yeah.

...You do understand it's a penthouse?

Kick-ass. Gotta love living in the lap of luxury.

Very good. Is that all right with you too, Master?

What, and make it so I've gotta call you all the way in another room if I need something? Screw that.

？！

Very good. One of our bellhops will be with you shortly.

Yoohoo, Saber.

What's up, Bean Sprout?

Hahaha, I'd appreciate you treating me with a little more respect, now that I'm your boss and all.

Nope.

Hey, just so you know, the suite is stupidly expensive, so don't trash the place or get into any fights in there or anything.

...Hah!

You, telling us not to fight? Is that a pig I just saw flying outside?

Bait me all you want, I'm still not gonna fight.

And for the record, every single hotel is completely booked, so if we toss you out, you'll be spending ServantFes on the streets.

Now, now, Saber, no threatening our guests.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, and one more thing: there's no room service.

If you want something to eat, you'll have to come down to the lobby.

What kind of half-assed operation are you running here!?

The only ones here are me, Bean Sprout, and a few golems to carry luggage.

But don't worry, we got some good eats here. I 'specially recommend the avocado toast.

You can really taste the wheat in the bread they use.

Ooh, that does sound delicious. Come on, Senpai, let's go put our things in our room and then have lunch!

？！

Okay, here's your room keys. Oh, and one last thing.

Don't go sneaking into other rooms, got it? Visiting with permission is one thing, but no sneaking around!

...Yeah, good point. Guess I don't gotta worry about you, do I.

THAT'S what you're worried about!?

...Well, uh...I think you'll be okay... Probably...

？！

Oh, if it isn't the other Jeanne!

Aw crap. It's Princess Sparkles.

Are you staying here, too?

Uh, yes, we are. You are too, Marie?

Oh yes. Jeanne and I are sharing a room!

We just got to the best part of our work, too!

Work? What work...?

Oh, did I not tell you? We're making a book together for ServantFes!

...Figures. I knew she couldn't have drawn a story like that on her own.

So you're in cahoots with her, huh?

Cahoots...? Oh, you mean you thought our story was a hoot?

Thank you! That means a lot, coming from you. Vive la France!

Are you here for ServantFes too, Alter? When we finish with our books, we should each give the other a copy!

Hell yeah. Tell her to brace herself, 'cause when we're done with ours, she won't know what hit her.

(Whispering) Master, it would probably be better not to mention we still don't know the first thing about drawing doujin.

？！

All right, Master, why don't we go to our room, too?

I can't wait to see what our suite is like!

Master! Are you here, Master!?

？！

Ibaraki...? I thought you went off to look for Shuten?

That was before I realized something crucial!

Where's MY swimsuit!?

Huh?

I can't go swimming dressed like this! Trust me, I tried!

I, uh, I see. What about your Morph skill? Did you try that?

Don't be stupid! How can I change myself into a swimsuit when I don't even know what my swimsuit looks like!?

Besides, you're my Master. Shouldn't finding me an appropriate swimsuit be your job!?

Well? Come on. Come on. Come on!

？！

Why do you apologize?

...Wait. Does this mean I can't wear a swimsuit?

...No more pestering our Master, Ibaraki-Douji.

You have no one to blame but yourself for not asking Lady Scáthach ahead of time.

There are only so many Servants who can tamper with their Spirit Origins, after all.

All of that is to say...

Wh-wh-wha...

You should have thought ahead and planned accordingly, as I did.

It's not right to blame Master for this, Ibaraki.

When did you change into that getup!?

What do you think, Master?

Thank you, Master!

I certainly feel much lighter in this outfit... It reminds me of the time I spent training on Mt. Kurama!

Thank you, Master. Indeed, I'm told this swimsuit is patterned after a beautiful katana.

I certainly feel much lighter in it. It reminds me of the time I spent training on Mt. Kurama!

？！

W-w-well, so what!? I actually own a mountain! So there!

You are very kind, Master. Personally, I feel that she made her bed, and should lie in it. But I will respect your wishes.

Why don't we talk to Scáthach about a swimsuit for Ibaraki the next time we see her?

I'm sure that will cheer her up.

That's a good idea. Although, I'm not sure if she is even here in Luluhawa.

？！

But never mind that now, Master. You still need to see your room!

？！

？！

Fou... Fouuu.

？！

？！

？！

？！

Fooou!?

Master, come quickly! I picked up the Foreigner's signal!

I think the shooting star you just saw was the Foreigner!

？！

Aah! Toto-sama!? You already bit the dust!?

Wait. Crap. I think I'm getting dizzy too...! Hey, you! Who the hell do ya think you are...!?

None of your business! Die, Foreigner!

Aaaaaaaaahhh!

Aw man, the Foreigner really did show up!

Yes, I've just confirmed it! That mysterious object crash-landed at Waikiki Street!

Y-yes, I did. My other outfit is made for Chaldea, so...

Ah, get the stick out of your ass, Master.

Let's just kick this thing's ass, then go enjoy our vacation!

And our doujin! Don't you dare forget the doujin we need to make!

？！

Is that...BB!?

It looks like the Foreigner is fighting her...

Oh, Fujimaru! Perfect timing!

A mysterious Servant crash-landed here and is going around wrecking everything!

I'd love to deal with them myself, but I'm using all my amazing powers to keep the tourists safe.

Besides, I don't wanna ruin my swimsuit in a fight! Come on, help me out here!

Your misplaced concerns about your swimsuit aside, I commend your initiative in keeping the other people safe! Rest assured, we will handle this villain!

Be ready, Robin, Mash! Our enemy is about to emerge from the smoke!

...Illegal Servants detected! Existence forbidden. Executing all targets.

Huh?

Hm?

...(Agape)

Plate armor?

？！

It's a mecha! No, it's a robot!

But this really isn't the time to worry about that! I've never seen that Servant's Spirit Origin before!

What's more, it's dead set on killing everything in sight! Take it out before it hurts any innocent bystanders!

...Destroy. ...Destroy!

？！

...Shift ended. Terminating combat.

Do not think this is over. Primitive life-forms. This convention will not stand.

I promise you. On my honor as a Foreigner. I will crush ServantFes!

The enemy Foreigner transformed and rolled ouI mean, flew away!

I can't track her!

Oh, fan-freakin'-tastic. Just what we need. Another powerful enemy with crazy weapons.

Good thing BB threw up that barrier in time, or this whole area would be rubble...

So that is the Foreigner... She seemed...different from Lady Abby or Lady Hokusai. If anything...

...it felt like she was closer to that mysterious Servant...

Hmmhmm, so that's the Foreigner everyone's been talking about, huh.

Mind filling little old me in about what's going on, Senpai?

？！

Now I see...

I had no idea that was going down while I was getting ready to toy withI mean, reward you for all your hard work...

So, I get that this Foreigner is a visitor from outer space with a special Spirit Origin, and that she's an existential threat to mankind...

...but I don't get why she showed up here at my Luluhawa...

Eh, she's probably just throwing a jealous tantrum after she saw how much fun we're having.

Hmm, makes sense. Especially coming from a nerd like you.

But hey, now that you drove her off, Senpai, we have nothing to worry about!

Sure, it sounded like she'll probably come back at some point, but you can just send her packing again, right? I mean, that IS your job and all.

So I'm trusting you guys to handle that. Remember, ServantFes is in your hands♡

...And BB disappeared again. She certainly likes to come and go as she pleases...

Still, it is lucky that we ran into the Foreigner so soon after we got here.

And since it looks to be very likely that she'll show up of her own accord again...

...I think the smart thing for us to do would be to set ourselves up here on Waikiki Street and wait for her to appear while we investigate Luluhawa.

...

(The hell was that thing...? I can't possibly make them let me focus on the doujin now...)

Hang on now, let's not go forgetting about ServantFes. I've got a lot riding on our success here.

Basically, we've just gotta make a book, right? So let's just slap some photos of Luluhawa into an album and make a guidebook or something.

Are you nuts!? We can't possibly win with some half-assed entry like that!

That's where you're wrong, missy. Creative endeavors start small! You think your first novel could be your magnum opus? Or your first painting would be a masterpiece? Or your first game a smash hit? No way!

As the manager of this operation, my first order of business is this: we've gotta polish our skills, refine our sensibilities, and find inspiration wherever we can!

If we explore Luluhawa, we can look for leads on this Foreigner, collect reference material, and learn the tricks of the trade!

Personally, I think that's the way to go. What do you think, Dragon Witch?

Khh... Fine. You're right. I admit, we don't know jack as far as drawing doujin is concerned.

We'll scrounge up all the BB Bucks or Gil Bucks we can, buy art supplies, and go look for stuff we want to draw.

Got that, Fujimaru?

The success of Gespenst Ketzer is riding on your shoulders.

As our Master, it's your job to train us and make sure we don't waste a single day!

？！

That was a great Da Vinci impression, Senpai!
