We've come far enough that we should be safe for now.
Good grief, you were reckless.
K-Kuro?
It's been a few days since I last saw you,
though I'm not sure how much time has actually passed for you.
So, who's that with you?
You've formed a strange party in my absence...
Huh?
Hey!
Kuro, thank goodness! Kuro!
What's with you?
You're throwing me off.
Get a hold of yourself, Illya.
Huh?
Illya?
Hey, Illya!
Illya-san!
Episode 4 For My Weak Little Sister
Huh?
This is...
A school?
You're awake?
Bazett-san...
This is the school we've been using as our base.
They told us most of what's happened to you up to now.
Speaking of which, where's everyone else?
Hold on, you!
Wait, I said!
Listen to me!
Huh?
Illya-san!
Good morning!
Illya-san, are you a sleepyhead?
Do kids go to bed early?
I'm an adult, so I'm not sleepy at all!
Why are you so excited?
There's a lot I could say, but put some clothes on first!
She just won't wear any.
What's with her?
Kuro...
I only wear... gym uniforms? Nothing else!
Why are you so stuck on them when you can barely remember the name?!
Huh? Tanaka-san, what about your injuries?
They healed as we watched.
Not even scars remain now!
After she took a direct hit from a Noble Phantasm?
Ah, right...
When I couldn't hold off her Noble Phantasm with my thaumaturgy,
Tanaka-san shielded me.
Hey, Tanaka-san, why did you do that?
Oh, that?
Well, everything was throb-throbby before that.
I got punched, kicked...
That word... Does she mean...
Yes, at the time, I didn't want to be throb-throbby anymore.
But more than that, I didn't want you to be throb-throbby.
Huh?
I don't think that was "throb-throbby." It's called "painful."
Painful?
Yeah, that's right.
And yet...
Thank you, Tanaka-san.
For what?
I'm the one who just learned the word "painful" from you.
No, not for that...
My goodness, what an impressive experience, being used as a gopher.
Gil-kun!
Here, gym clothes.
Have that selfish woman put them on.
Everyone's here.
Let's get started, then.
To summarize our current situation,
this is the world Miyu comes from.
In other words, we're in a completely different, parallel world.
Original World Miyu's World Swapped?
We were most likely thrown
into this world, along with the area several hundred meters around the great cavern.
But when I arrived in this world, there wasn't anyone around me.
There seems to be a discrepancy of several days
separating everyone's arrivals here.
I was alone, as well.
Huh? What about Sapphire?
I've been trying to contact her this whole time, but there's no response.
I'm certain she was sent to this world, but...
I see.
Chloe and I were sent here two days ago.
Travel to a parallel world falls under the scope of sorcery.
I'm still finding it hard to believe our situation.
The desks aren't big enough for her.
Still, this drives one point home.
Miyu really did live in a parallel world...
From her point of view, you all are the ones from a parallel world, though.
Gilgamesh-kun, that's a poor classroom attitude!
Don't be so stiff, Sensei.
Good grief...
I still can't believe you're just joining us like nothing happened.
I'm not one of you.
We're just temporarily cooperating.
Well, we're allies as long as our interests coincide.
Miyu's being held captive in the enemy's atelier at that crater's center, right?
For sure.
But evidently, the procedures to make her function
as the Holy Grail are complicated.
There's no telling when they'll finish them,
but you might not have much time.
Right now, we know two people of the enemy forces.
Angelica, who uses the Archer Card, Gilgamesh.
My Card, yeah.
Then what's Beatrice's Card?
I can guess that one.
It's...
The God of Thunder, Thor.
The strongest god in Norse mythology.
That's also unbelievable.
It's like a nightmare.
I know this sounds hard to believe, but that Card's a bit troublesome.
Enough so that we have essentially no countermeasures against it.
We do have countermeasures.
Saber, Lancer, Rider.
My mission was to bring these back with me, but for now,
I'll entrust you with them.
It seems only one of us is currently capable of using these Cards.
So if we have any hope of overcoming this situation,
it lies with you, Illyasviel.
R-Right.
My stomach is sad...
Even asleep, this student's a problem child!
Let's end our meeting for now.
It's almost time for dinner, isn't it?
But what is there to eat?
You're okay with delivery, right?
Delivery?
What's with that gilded cell phone?
Shoyu ramen, light on the mapo, for five.
You sure are quick, mister!
But I ordered them without mapo.
Illya-san?
Why are you cowering like a baby sheep?
That's not good! You shouldn't draw out my sadism!
It smells like the fat from a pig's back, along with fermented soybeans!
I wonder if we could train this girl with food...
55,000 yen, after tax.
That's the price?
Will a single gold coin suffice?
He's totally getting ripped off!
Illya, if you don't eat it fast, the noodles will get soggy.
Huh?
Sorry, I'm good...
Someone else can have it.
Ah, hey!
This is the school we attended on the other side.
Its layout is the same, but...
There are posters I've never seen.
It's almost completely dark.
But it's bright across the bridge.
Miyama Town is a real ghost town.
You think we'll ever be able to go home?
Seeing it like this...
It makes me realize my home, family, and friends are all gone,
whether I like it or not.
Illya-san...
Will I never see them again?
Everyone,
Mama,
Onii-chan...
You never change, do you, wishy-washy Illya?
Kuro...
You've been spacing out for a while.
It's pretty complacent of you to wimp out at a time like this.
I'm not wimping out!
I know this is no time for me to be wishy-washy.
But...
After getting sent to this world and attacked by enemies...
How can I help it?!
Let me complain a little!
Honestly, you're such a handful.
K-Kuro?
Enter Trance, Illya.
I'll cut you into pieces!
S-Stop it, Kuro!
Why are you doing this?
You have a blade pointed at you right now.
Why are you asking the enemy why they're attacking you?
If you keep that up, then eventually...
No,
you'll die here.
Th-There's no way you can do that!
You have the curse of shared pain.
Oh, that?
It was supposed to be a deterrent, wasn't it?
But whatever.
It's gone?!
Now I don't have to hold back!
Illya-san!
I'll cut you to pieces!
What are you?
What's this all about?
I told you, didn't I?
I'm humanity's oldest hero, Gilgamesh.
Or at least the shadow, or perhaps the pale imitation, of him.
I'll change the question.
What are the Cards?
Humanity's greed, maybe?
It's not possible to summon and control
heroes of legend who've surpassed the realm of humanity.
But the Ainsworths succeeded in the astounding feat of translating a fraction
of their power into vessels known as "Classes," and exchanging those with themselves.
It's a pseudo-summon that violates the hero's consent.
It's a greed so despicable, conceited, and offensive, it's almost charming, isn't it?
It's my first time seeing a hero's form.
So that's the Class Card, Lancer.
In that case, it's odd.
Why do you possess your will?
Compared to other Heroic Spirits, my adult self's ego is a bit too strong.
So?
I think I've covered most of the general stuff...
It's not enough.
I hope you'll think of that as consideration.
Aren't there plenty of things it's better not to know?
I'll tell you when the time comes.
But at the very least,
it won't be before they finish their sibling spat.
How does it feel to use the wielder of Gáe Bolg,
the great hero of Celtic myth, Cú Chulainn?
You knew who this Card was?
Well, yeah.
Then stop this now.
You understand, don't you?
This spear...
Yes.
An unavoidable Noble Phantasm that guarantees its strike by reversing causality
to create the result of a pierced heart before it's unleashed,
rendering all attempts to defend or dodge it futile once it's activated.
Quite the reliable spear, isn't it?
Why don't you try using it to see if that's true?
This isn't right, Kuro.
Why are you so angry?
What did I
ever do to you?!
Stop being a baby!
A bow? This is bad!
Kuro-san's serious!
You always, always do that!
Impressive, Rider.
Your Agility is top rank.
Just talk to me.
I can't understand if you won't tell me!
Is it so wrong to feel a little faint of heart?!
I want to save Miyu, too!
I swore I would!
Even now, those feelings haven't changed!
But...
No one's here, in this world.
Our enemy is too great...
And all I could do was run,
so...
The loneliness she felt, being all alone in an unfamiliar world,
and the fear she felt, facing overwhelming enemies...
They never crossed Miyu's lips.
The anxiety and fear you feel now
are what Miyu faced in our world.
How hopeless and scared she must have felt...
You can understand it now, right?
But Miyu never revealed those feelings to anyone.
If we're to call ourselves her friends, then we can't complain.
Not until we rescue Miyu, and she chooses
to complain to us herself.
That's what you wanted to say, Kuro-san?
Kuro...
No, not yet.
It's not over yet!
That sword!
I'm not holding back.
If you don't take this seriously, I'll kill you!
Class Card, Saber...
I don't even have to ask your identity, King Arthur.
Kuro?
Ah, that was a clean break...
I guess all I can make now really are hollow imitations.
Kuro...
Don't give me that look.
Your holy sword will be sad.
That's the Last Phantasm, woven by this planet from humanity's hopes.
You're holding the strongest Phantasm humanity ever wished for.
I don't care if it's a god's hammer...
Just send it flying!
Because humanity's wishes can exceed the gods!
Yeah!
Thanks, Kuro.
I won't complain anymo—
Kuro? Hang in there, Kuro!
What do I do?
Just now, Kuro...
No... No!
I finally understand...
I...
Kuro...
No... What is this?
My tongue's... going to melt!
I'm sorry.
It's been so long since I had a treat, I got a bit fired up.
No, no, thank you for the treat!
I've recorded that to my main hard disc,
so let's watch it again later!
Delete it right now!
And... Kuro, you jerk!
I was really worried about you!
I thought I had cut you down!
I wish you'd learn to gauge distance and sensation.
You only cut my sword.
Oh, speaking of which, you were about to say something before our kiss.
What was it?
Forget it! It doesn't matter, jerk!
Pouting like a child...
Just tell me! Come on, come on!
I can't do anything on my own...
I've always been able to fight because someone was with me.
I finally recalled that obvious fact.
So, Kuro, stay with me.
I don't want us to be separated anymore.
Illya, the power you possess...
The Cards, Bazett, Gilgamesh...
They're all things you earned by facing them.
You say you can't do anything alone,
that you're a weakling, but...
You can't fight on your own?
That goes for everyone.
Even for Miyu, I'm sure.
So, Illya,
make sure you say that line to Miyu, too.
Yeah!
Next Time
What's that?
Big baths are great!
I shouldn't interject my thoughts.
We only have Tanaka-san's bloomers, though.
I'll do it!
Don't show me to the bathroom, okay?
