Miss Crane

All right, this is it: the day of the final round.

The day when this Singularity's host, my main unit, will show herself with the Holy Grail.

X Alter

...

Your choice

Everything okay?

X Alter

?!

Oh, yes, everything's fine. I was just remembering the time I was on that stage with Medb, Cat, and Mash...

...and how nice it would be if we could all sing together as AxXxS again.

Your choice

Once this is all over, I'm sure you can.

As long as we get the Holy Grail back, I'm sure you'll get that chance.

X Alter

?!

...Yes. You're right. There'll be another opportunity, and when there is, I'll make sure to take it.

Which is all the more reason I won't let this world be reset. I'll be damned if I'm going to lose these memories and start over from square one again.

Miss Crane

Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to our precious memories.

Trust me, I managed to weave together a very special spell for this occasion.

X Alter

Um, Miss Crane? If I get the chance to perform one last show...

...there's a song I'd especially like you to hear...if you can.

Miss Crane

...!

Yes, of course, Ex. You're my favorite idol ever!

X Alter

...Thanks.

Miss Crane

... Okay, it's time. Let's make our way inside.

Billy

And the winner is...Virtuosa!

Nero

Umu! Just as I expected!

Jane

Now it's time for the event organizer, Miss Crane, to award the Holy Grail!

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

...I don't see my other self this time. I suppose she must have sat this one out.

Nero

What is the matter? Go on, commend me for my victory.

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

Yes, you're right. You shone brilliantly, Virtuosa.

I look forward to seeing you again next ti

Your choice

Hold it right there!

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

?!

!?

Miss Crane

That's far enough, me.

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

Me!? What are you doing here now?

No matter. That concludes this latest concert!

Mash

Senpai! All the idols and audience members have disappeared!

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

...Ahh, now I see. So we have visitors from the outside, and a Servant who formed a contract with one of them.

That explains why you were exempt from the laws of my Singularity, and why you kept your memories.

Your choice

We're here to take back that Holy Grail.

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

?!

Why? All I'm doing is giving these idols a stage where they can shine their brightest.

This is not some wicked plot like the Incineration of Humanity or the Trees of Emptiness. This tiny Singularity shouldn't matter to you at all.

This is not some wicked plot like the Incineration of Humanity. This tiny Singularity shouldn't matter to you at all.

Your choice

You're still toying with countless people's lives.

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

?!

X Alter

Master is right.

You're keeping all these Servants and people here like pets, and forcing them to sing for you.

This floating city may as well be a giant birdcage, and everyone in it your songbirds.

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

And what's wrong with that? I've done nothing to meddle with their minds. They're all here singing and enjoying themselves of their own accord.

That goes for you, too. Don't you remember how much fun you had in AxXxS during the last cycle?

The cheers of the crowd...your happy smiles...that feeling of accomplishment after you sang...

All of that was real. I thought you would understand how precious that was...but alas!

Now you're trying to get rid of itto take all that away from me. You're dangerous... A threat to this utopia.

It seems this cycle was a complete failure. I guess I have to end it. Holy Grail, activate!

Mash

!!!

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

This concludes the latest Grail Concert. Stay tuned for the next one!

This time, I'll make sure to get rid of you before

Miss Crane

Non! That's not happening, me.

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

What are you doing!?

Miss Crane

That Holy Grail belongs to you, which means the threads of fate bind it to me as well.

Those threads may be thin, delicate lines of magical energy...but that's okay. Spinning thread is what we do best, remember?

So I plucked out my own feathers to create threads bursting with magical energy, and used them to strengthen the ones binding me to the Holy Grail!

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

Wh-what were you thinking!? That would kill you!

Miss Crane

Oh yes, I'm well aware. But if that's what I must do to repay my debt, then so be it. Surely you of all people would understand?

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

Wha...!?

Miss Crane

Then again, maybe you wouldn't. You see, after spending time with these dear friends, I'm no longer the same person I used to be!

True Name, release. Innocence, The Crane's Tearful Farewell Poem!!!

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

Hurry, Holy Grail! Hurry and close the curtain on this cycle!

Miss Crane

Hehe. Forget it♪

Management can't just go changing things on a whim. Neither the idols nor the fans belong to you.

I see that clearly now.

Idols are meant to sing because they choose to. Fans are supposed to back them because they love them. And the wonderful memories they share are supposed to drive them toward the future.

That's what makes them all so precious!

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

Don't you talk to me about precious! I've changed, too, you know! That's why I need eternity!

You speak of the future? I have all the future I need right here! Repeating this cycle is the only way I can repay the debt I owe her!

Miss Crane

All right, MasP... It's time for...Chaldea Productions...to do its part!

Your choice

Got it!

Miss Crane

?!

Good luck with your concert, everyone... I'll be watching it...from the skies beyond...

Ahh, I wish I didn't have to say goodbye. But I think, maybe now, I understand what you mean

X Alter

Miss Crane!!!

... ...

Okay, everyone, let's do this! Lend me your strength!

2. After the battle

Miss Crane (Main Unit)

Ahh...!

The Holy Grail's power is...fading... No... Please... Come back...

X Alter

Something's wrong with the Holy Grail... No, wait! Something's spilling out of it!

Mash

Aah! Senpai, look ou
