What is it, Saber? Why'd you stop?
If I remember right, this was...
The shopping district? What about it?
Hey. Are you okay?
Iori! The Boss!
The Boss? Who're you talking about?
I remember now! There's another Rogue Servant in Asakusa!
He's an incredible Heroic Spirit, too, with amazing magical energy and a powerful Noble Phantasm!
Although, he can also be something of a, well, huge jerk...
...Oh! That's right! I'd completely forgotten, too!
The young owner of the crepe shop!
...Does this Servant have a nose for business, by any chance?
(Fujimaru knows this guy, too?)
I can picture a certain somebody already.
Fuhahahaha! That's right, mongrel! Here! Have a candy as a reward!
？！
How could I have forgotten such an unforgettable Heroic Spirit in the first place?
Maybe my age is finally catching up with me...
At least you have an excuse. What's Iori's? He doesn't remember a single thing.
I'm sorry. I don't know what else I can say.
Anyway, the shop's just up this way. Trust me, you can't miss it.
I-is that...
(Speechless)
Hey, Boss! Are you there, Boss!?
Aha! I knew you'd be her
This shop's owner is away right now.
Huh?
Well, that's not Boss.
...
(I couldn't sense him at all until just now. How is that possible?)
(There's no way I'd ever miss sword kior whatever kind of ki it isthis immense.)
Who are you?
You may not be Boss, but I can tell you're no ordinary Heroic Spirit, either.
I am no one of importance.
I am just another Rogue Servant without a Master.
Ordinarily, I would be more suited to the Lancer class...
...but it seems in this instance, I have materialized as a Ruler to serve as this Ritual's arbiter.
...The Ritual's arbiter.
So you're a Ruler, just like Boss.
... ...
You speak the truth. At least, that's how it seems to me.
Me, too.
...I think so too.
Yeah. He doesn't seem like he's lying.
If he really is a Ruler...
...it's worth noting that this class is usually only summoned to oversee Holy Grail Wars.
Then again, there have been special cases where they really were summoned to arbitrate.
I guess this just goes to show that the Waxing Moon Ritual really isn't your standard Holy Grail War.
If you're arbitrating the Ritual, does that mean you're staying neutral?
It does. I am here to see this matter to its conclusion.
What will those of you trapped in the Ritual struggle with? What path will you take? That is what I am here to witness.
And then...there's you.
What about me?
？！
This is not your first, or even your second trip through hell. I can tell from your eyes, and the color of your soul.
You have been through an artificial hell of the soul.
You have been through a hell that was both ancient and dark.
You have been to a hell looked down upon by one of purest evil as they laughed.
And you have been to a hell created within the very depths of the earth.
It would seem you and hell are inextricably tied together.
...!?
How did you know that?
？！
Continue on your present path, even if you are uncertain.
Even should that path take you through the heart of the abyss, light will yet reach you.
May light shine on your path as you make your way through hell.
...So, who was that, anyway?
...No idea.
But, if he really is the Ritual's arbiter, then I don't think he's our enemy.
We should get going. Come on, Master of Chaldea.
We have a steep road ahead of us, even without the enemies infesting it.
