Nothing. Nothing is nothing, There is no change I’ve raged out that much ether and nothing hasformed. and, on top of that, I hear an explosion in the living room. “…The door’s broken!?” The living room door is crooked.There’s no point in turning the handle. The door doesn’t open, even as I push and pull it. “…Geez, you’re in my way…!” With a crash, I kick through the door into the “former” living room. The living room is in a big mess. It’s full of rubble that must have fallen from the ceiling, and there’s one man sitting on it cockily. Without a doubt, that is the cause of this mess. Though not exactly the one that I expected to summon initially. It is said that the Holy Grail can grant any wish. Only one has the right to possess it. The Holy Grail can only grant one wish for one person. But seven magi are needed to summon the Holy Grail in this land. One miracle, seven collaborators. …Well, the point is, it was only a matter of time before the fi ght over the Holy Grail. A ritual that, although changed from last time, has remained all this time. There are two proofs that one is a Master. Summoning a Servant and making it obey, and obtaining the three Command Spells that can order the Servant. The fi rst goes without saying. Yesterday… no, a few hours ago to be exact…I summoned an Archer to be my Servant instead. I must protect to the end this Command Spell that binds the Servant. For a Master, this is probably the most important. This mark with concentrated magical energy is an instantaneous thing, not an eternal one. It is consumed by use, and as the appearance suggests, it has one use for each strike. A master who loses all three of their Command Spells will be unable to control their Servant and faces death. …So. The Command Spell must be guarded as closely as one’s life. It hurts my head to think that I’ve used one right at the start, but it wasn’t completely meaningless, so I’ll call it good. I’m fortunate to have been able to chain him using one Command Spell. Only one magus, paired with one servant each, will obtain the Holy Grail. This is the tradition upheld over the past 200 years. And so, each of them treated the other six, once allies, now as enemies. 13.
