1. Before the battle
131 linesI do enjoy waking up at the same time each day.
Nothing like a regular sleep schedule for a healthy life.
？！
Fou. Fou, fooou.
I know. I'll head to the Command Room for roll call now.
？！
Foou!?
Huh!? The Command Room turned digital!?
？！
What the hell's going on!? It's like the Command Room's a whole other world now!
Doctor! Ms. Da Vinci! Use your analytical skills to get us out of this!
Da Vinci! Holmes! Use your wisdom to get us out of this!
Holmes! Huh? He's not here? Dammit, I swear, that armchair detective's never around when you need him!
Da Vinci! Sion! Please, do something! I don't wanna live in a world where I can't tell Captain from the rest!
Hmm, this is pretty chaotic all right. Never mind big heroes and small heroes.
The way things are now, we can't even tell Commons apart from Rares! This is great!
A suit, huh... I don't hate it, but I'm definitely not comfortable in it, either.
Ah well, as long as it doesn't get in the way of a good punch-out, I guess it's fine. What do you say, Kintoki? How 'bout a little warm-up spar to start the day?
I'm not at all happy about this. Ah, how it saddens me... I'm Tristan, by the way...
Yo, Beowulf! I'm over here! And wouldn't ya know it, I just happened to bum a wooden sword off Muramasa not too long ago.
Stay calm, everyone! Don't let these appearances fool you!
And what is wrong with this dress!? I wouldn't be caught dead in all this fancy, flowing frippery!
Mascot costumes! We need mascot costumes! That'll solve everything! Hey! Don't call me a tiger!
Stop that, teacher! You need to settle down! You there! Yeah, the medic! Do you have any sedatives on you!?
Hm? Well, I have this towel I use to keep my head cool when I'm staying up all night to finish a draft.
Chotto a minute. Why did they choose THIS skin for me? Don't you think this is hidoi and unusual punishment?
Fou, fooou!
Yikes, this IS bad.
I can barely take in what I'm seeing...
？！
There you are, Fujimaru! Man, am I glad to see you still looking like yourself!
I know you probably have no idea what's going on right now, but try to stay calm.
Here's what we know. Almost as soon as we noticed the simulator starting up a few minutes ago...
...the Command Room turned digital, and all the staff and Servants ended up like, well, that!
Are we under attack!?
？！
No. Not from the outside, anyway. We're being invaded from within Chaldea, so to speak.
And given all the Servants Chaldea is contracted with, the number capable of pulling something like this off is, well
Yeah. I mean, digitizing a real space? Who else could it be?
Yeah. I can only think of one Servant heremalicious enough to do something like this...
？！
Yup. Odds are pretty good it's her...
The next-gen digital demon from a different world who stuck around Chaldea for reasons that still aren't clear to
You'd think so, right? Right!? But you'd be wrong!
This time, I'M the big bad hiding her head while baring her belly!
You? The girl from inside that statue!? How many sweet buns do you have to eat to get that big!?
I'm not actually this big!!! It's just a hologram! C'mon, you must've seen BB do something like this before.
Also, for the record, my name's Jinako Carigiri. I'm the well-rounded human chosen to be Ganesha's vessel.
They say those who are full in body are also rich in heart, right?
Ganesha saw how my heart is as big as an ocean and now, long story short, I'm a Pseudo-Servant!
No surprise the god of wealth and prosperity would have an eye for the finer things in life!
So what's the Pseudo-Servant of wealth and prosperity up to now?
Maybe so, but Ganesha would never do anything like this.
？！
Oh? Don't think this is an act worthy of the name Ganesha?
Heh, shows what you know. I already got Big G to sign off on this as a learning experience.
You see, Chaldea may be peaceful right now, but you never know when some weird emergency nonsense might crop up, do you?
Fo fo fou.
And Chaldea is, of course, the last bastion of humankind. It has to be ready for anything.
Sooo...
I used my magnificent power to bring a little SE.RA.PH to you and turn Chaldea into a battlefield!
And now, I'm declaring war, Fujimaru! A little Holy Grail War, to be specific!
Oh, but to be clear, there's not gonna be any ranked matches or PvP, okay?
There won't be any penalties for winning or losing, either! I never liked the crazy competitive games like that.
The real fun of gaming is all in taking time to level up your skills, don't you agree?
Hm. Sounds like a bunch of kids playing baseball in a vacant lot.
Is that why you did this to the Command Room? To hold a mock Holy Grail War?
You know, now that I'm looking closely, all the Command Room's controls are still functioning...
...so the only real drawback is that we can no longer tell staff and Servants apart.
What do you say, Fujimaru? Are you gonna be her opponent? A mock Grail War could give you some valuable Master experience.
So you just want to scrimmage? Okay, I'm game.
I'd be down for that.
？！
...Heh.
Don't let her fool yooou!
If you don't defeat Jinako, she'll transform all Chaldea into this weird, vaguely heartwarming world!
Fou!?
It's me, BB! I'm using the last of my power to contact you!
Jinako beat me up and trapped me inside her statue! Waaah!
Oh, right. I'm sure you must be wondering, "How could this have happened to the invincible, ultracute BB?"
Fortunately, I was able to put together a little reenactment video while I was waiting to contact you! Check it out!
Hyah!
Eeeeeeeee! You beat me with a single punch!?
Well, what do you know. I was a little worried there for a moment, but then I realized, hey, I'm a Moon Cancer!
A Divine Spirit Servant with no disadvantages and pretty high rarity!
Not to mention I used to be a Master myself! Don't tell Fujimaru about that, though.
Heh. No wonder I won so easily. It's almost scary how strong I've gotten...
Anywho, now that I've beaten you, I'll be taking that (counterfeit) Holy Grail as the spoils of war!
As for you, BB, you miserable loser...
Unless you want your new loser status solidified forever, you're going to be my Servant from now on.
Now go and recreate SE.RA.PH. Turn Chaldea into a place from which there is no escape.
There, I will hold a Holy Grail War to infuse this Holy Grail with magical energy...
...and use its power to overwrite all of Earth with an open-world version of SE.RA.PH!
Mwahahaha! Then, all of humanity will be slaves to daily missions, collecting materials, and grinding EXP!
Seriously?
Wow. You know a plan's bad when even BB is cringing.
How. Dare. She.
？！
Then she made me forge a Servant contract, remake SE.RA.PH...
...and trapped me all the way in its innermost depths.
Isn't that terrible!? I've never been so humiliated!
Please, Master, I'm begging you! You have to stop Jinako, whatever it takes!
I mean...leveling with no end in sight goes against everything I stand for!
The whole reason pathetic, routine drudgery is so valuable for the human race is because it inspires them to advance and revolutionize things!
But a game world that never changes and all you ever do is grind? Not on my watch!
Unfortunately, as you can see, I'm stuck in my BB Studio now, where all I can do is edit videos and send pirate broadcasts...
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, please stop Jinako! Oh, and while you're at it, come rescue meee!!!
No more pirate broadcasts!
Phew. And here I thought I'd totally cut her off. Guess you really do gotta be careful with that one.
Welp, cat's outta the bag now.
So yeah, if you want to set BB free, you'll have to beat me first.
Personally, all I want is a good Holy Grail War. If you're up for that, you can come down to SE.RA.PH whenever you're ready.
All right, see you in SE.RA.PH, dear rival!
Well, this is a fine kettle of fish.
All right, sounds like we have to beat Jinako in a Holy Grail War, get the Holy Grail back, and rescue BB.
...That about sum it up?
That's right! And I'm going to help you however I can! Hup!
BB!?
Didn't you just say you were trapped!?
？！
Oh, I'm not BB! I'm BB Navi, BB's last-ditch effort to fight back!
"I can't let my senpai fight a Holy Grail War alone! I at least have to cheer him on!"
With that thought in her mind, BB concentrated the last of her power to create a mini clone (that'd be me) and send it to you!
Hm? What can I do? Not much, to be honest...
Oh, but since this is a special episode, I'll at least be helping you navigate with fully voiced lines♡
Fou. Fou fou.
Anyway, you understand the situation now, right? Then let's hurry over to that fake SE.RA.PH!
This will be a major undertakinga mission to save the moon, humankind, and myself. Why don't we call it...
Moonsault Operation!
Anyway, I think we can agree that Jinako losing herself to the Holy Grail's magical energy and going full villain would be the bad end none of us want to see...
...so get out there and help her turn over a new leaf before she's been irreversibly imbued with 2P colors, Senpai!
