Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Nee-san, it's Sapphire.
What's this?
Thank goodness. I got through.
This is your sister! You're safe, then?
I was captured with Miyu-sama,
but Miyu-sama waited for a chance to let me escape.
I've been hiding until now, unable to act.
The reception is awful.
It must be the barrier's interference.
I can contact you because the barrier's weakened,
but please be careful.
Good grief, I'm always telling you, aren't I?
You can't leave the house on your own.
But, but, I really wanted to see for myself!
I see. So, what did you think?
Well...
What are they talking about?
Well, it doesn't matter. I'll just fix this for now.
The barrier weakened because the Ainsworth family head went outside.
She's a little less reliable than I'd heard, but she was really kind!
I see. That's good.
Huh? That voice...
The enemy's...
The Ainsworth's...
Shall we go home, then?
This voice is...
...leader is heading your way.
Listen carefully to this voice.
I am Darius Ainsworth, head of the Ainsworth family.
That is your true enemy.
What a tasteless alarm.
The distant echoes
tooku hibiku
Of someone's footsteps
dareka no ashioto
Melt away my loneliness.
kodoku no kehai o tokashite
On a night where the falling stars
hoshi furu yoru
Streak across my vision,
shikai yokogiru hikari niwa
I entrust my wish to their light.
negai takushite
We're looking up at the same sky,
onaji sora miageteru
So I'll keep leaping across time
anata no tokoro made
Until I can reach you!
toki o koete
The constellations are calling out to each other,
yozora irodotte
Decorating the sky,
yobiau seizatachi
As I let Polaris guide my way.
Porarisu tayori ni
Even if the waves of fate pull me away,
unmei no nami ni nomaretemo
Right now, I'm coming to find you!
ima mitsuke ni iku yo
I'm here with you,
anata to iru
In this precious world spun by the stars!
mamorubeki hoshi ga tsumugu sekai
Chilling Hostility
My, what a bother.
That alarm is just boorish and irritating.
For the starting bell, it's absolutely tasteless.
Oh?
Bazett-san!
So you're the mage who erected this barrier?
Devotion to practical application is a valid aesthetic.
But seeing as you are a mage,
I wish you would put some thought into the stage production.
For example, a barrier should be erected like this.
Apneic Beauty.
Bazett?
What's this?
Illya-san!
A-An ice dome?
I'm trapped inside!
I apologize for this unplanned meeting,
but I wanted to have a nice, peaceful chat with you.
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Illyasviel von Einzbern-kun.
I am Darius, head of the Ainsworths.
Y-You're...
Yes, I am the one
who discovered the Holy Grail named "Miyu,"
created the Cards that draw out the power of Heroic Spirits,
and started the ritual to complete the Holy Grail,
the Holy Grail War.
Yes, indeed.
From your perspective, I must look like some evil overlord that you must defeat.
Not even a crack?
What's going on with this ice?
Move, Bazett!
I'll punch a hole through it.
No way.
A Noble Phantasm.
It's an incredibly high-ranking Barrier Noble Phantasm!
No way! Illya-san!
Are you all right?!
Illya-san!
Open this thing!
So noisy outside...
Illya-san!
Was this a failure?
Open up! Illya-san!
If only it blocked sound, as well.
Yes, definitely a failure.
What is?
It's getting unbearably cold.
Huh?
I didn't expect it to have such a weakness.
What's this man trying to do?
I'm not cold at all, so don't bring me any blankets.
And she's no better!
Erica-chan, you tricked us?
You just acted friendly in order to get close to us, didn't you?
Huh? I didn't trick you!
I just wanted to see for myself, that's all.
I wanted to see if you were the person
Miyu-oneechan said you were.
Miyu told us everything about your world.
Everyone she met, everything that happened, all of it.
My, indeed.
How wonderful!
Traveling to a parallel world!
Forging a pact with a suspicious Mystic Code!
Finding friendship for the first time! Facing danger to collect the Cards!
However, her false daily life has come to an end,
and Miyu has returned to me once more!
It's a grand myth of coincidence, providence, and fate woven across multiple worlds!
Thank you for gathering my Cards, Illyasviel!
No, no! I won't ask you to return them!
Use them as you will against—
Papa, Papa!
What is it, Erica?
That's wrong. You're going overboard.
You're right.
I'm not entirely used to it yet.
M-Miyu would never tell you all those things on her own!
She never even talked about them with us!
Tanaka?
Ainsworth...
What did you do to Miyu?!
You shouldn't shout too much.
This frozen palace can't be broken from the outside.
But in exchange, the oxygen within slowly depletes.
And 301 seconds after activation, there won't be any oxygen left.
Yes, we have 301 seconds, so let's have a nice, long chat.
Stand back! You should stay out of this!
Hey! Did you hear—
Ow!
Tanaka, you're...
Oh? That's odd.
Don't tell me you can't even talk anymore?
I suppose I'll have to reconsider.
As an actor, if you can't even ad lib such an easy part,
then perhaps you shouldn't be standing on our stage.
Oh, right.
You were the only one not in Miyu's memory.
How troublesome.
I dislike it when extras ruin the stage.
He parried it?
Ruby!
Illya-san!
Install!
What poor judgment, swinging this in front of a child.
What would you do if she got hurt?
Authoritarian Personalism!
My body...
It's not gravity or physical manipulation!
This is Conceptual Interference.
It broke through my runic defense so easily?
Now, then...
Who are you?
Yes, silence is an answer, as well.
But there's no need for an extra without lines on my stage.
Stop!
C-Counterfeiter.
I see. Apparently, you aren't an extra.
It would be easy to put a period on your performance here,
but that wouldn't be artistic.
I welcome you!
And your inclusion in the cast!
Wait...
Illya-oneechan...
Erica-chan...
You said, "You shouldn't hurt people."
What was that?
Man, I went to the usual place to get food,
and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw fried rice served with mapo on it!
Hey.
Seriously, where does that obsession come from?
I'm thinking of ordering gyoza next time.
Anyone want to bet on what's in them?
Take a hint, why don't you?
Something tells me that I wouldn't want to take it.
I mean, I get back and you're all like this.
What happened?
Wow. So Darius came here himself?
Maybe he was trying to repay Illya-san for invading his base.
Constantly acting out of turn could potentially ruin the show, after all.
He kept going on about "stages" and "casts", but why?
I don't get it.
For whatever reason,
the Ainsworths are particular about performance and production.
Evidently, they hate it when things don't go according to plan.
What the heck?
They think they're running a play here?
What's less understandable is his unusual,
almost irrational strength.
His unidentified Noble Phantasms, Apneic Beauty and Authoritarian Personalism.
Plus, his ability to stop Excalibur with his bare hands.
What are those?
A giant dome of ice. It was incredibly tough.
The other was...
No, I don't mean that.
Those Noble Phantasms...
I've never heard of them.
My treasury houses the originals for almost all the Noble Phantasms.
Every single Noble Phantasm
is derived from an original that matured throughout history.
All the Noble Phantasms still spoken of in the modern era
were originally mine.
But I'm saying I don't know these two.
If they really are Noble Phantasms, where did they originate?
That's our line.
Then, what does that make Tanaka-san,
since she broke through that mysterious Noble Phantasm?
She's been asleep ever since.
She doesn't seem to be injured, though.
She's sleeping more peacefully than necessary.
Hey, isn't it a little hot in this room?
The heater's running too high.
The heater isn't on.
It's hot because of Tanaka's body.
She's like a human furnace.
How absurd can she be?
In the end, only Tanaka-san's mysterious power had any effect.
All of our attacks just...
Illya...
I know.
I won't complain anymore.
There's no point in wondering why we lost.
We have to find a way to win.
As long as you understand that.
That's all good, but how are you going to win?
Onee-chan, you're a liar.
I don't...
I don't want to hear that from you!
I just want to save Miyu.
Hey...
How cold.
You don't enjoy surprises like this anymore?
I believe I told you to stop linking to my window.
Were you looking at the stars again?
You never tire of that.
Time for your work. Come.
Relax, Miyu.
I don't want to be violent with you.
Let go.
This is unusual. Rebelling against me?
When did this start?
This is troublesome.
Bad children need to be punished,
but we mustn't damage your body.
In other words...
Your older brother will suffer for your disobedience.
Good girl.
Don't worry, it will be over soon.
We've done this many times.
Aren't you used to it?
Behold, Miyu,
another verse of the myth has been inscribed.
That makes five now!
Only two more until it's complete.
Read it closely.
These are the episodes that have occurred around you
between your return to this world and today.
Oh? You passed out?
Good grief.
Do you have any idea how much care I'm taking to ensure
that your body is unharmed?
I wish you would just endure the phantom pain.
I'm done. Carry her out.
Yes.
Oh, good morning, Miyu-oneechan!
Erica...
Good job on your work!
I left your medicine on the table.
Make sure you take it later!
Are you all right? Need to sleep some more?
I'm fine.
This is nothing new.
I see!
It's nothing new, huh?
Oh, right, right!
I brought lots of books so you wouldn't be bored, Onee-chan.
You love these, right?
Erica, um, you're always looking out for me.
Thank you.
You don't need to praise me!
I don't want to be praised at all!
And definitely don't pet my head, okay?
No matter what!
If I say "Don't do it." three times, don't—
Hey, Erica?
What?
Did you meet Illya?
Yeah. She was a kind lady.
Yeah, I know.
Illya's kind and warm.
Hmm, but she's a bit of a liar, too.
A liar?
She said, "You shouldn't hurt people for no reason,"
but she attacked Papa with a sword.
That's cruel!
That's...
Honestly, why would Illya-oneechan do something like that?
Because Illya's trying to rescue me.
Rescue you? From what?
From here. From the Ainsworths.
Onee-chan, you'll disappear again?!
If you disappear again, I'll...
I'll be alone again.
I see.
So while I was in their world, this girl
was always...
Yeah! I'll be okay!
I'm a lady.
I'll be fine all by my—
Onee-chan?
Erica, you're kind.
Kind and strong.
And warped.
But perhaps I'm just as warped, living within my own contradiction.
I know there's absolutely no way to win against the Ainsworths.
So I shouldn't hope for rescue.
But...
Right now, I want to be saved.
I can wish to be saved.
Since I met Illya...
Miyu!
Honestly, what a contradiction.
Yes, even if Illya did come here,
what would I do if she did?
Hey...
What?
I'm fine all by myself, but I prefer when you're here.
Right.
Do you prefer having Illya-oneechan with you, too?
Yes, I do.
Okay.
I'm heading back now!
It's almost time for bed.
Later, and goodnight, Miyu-oneechan!
The stars are hidden.
It's raining?
Tanaka's fast asleep, as always.
Illya, are you up?
What should we do for breakfast?
Hey! Are you still asleep?
Illya?
I wished 'cause I wanted even though it's wayward
"kanarazu ne" tte chikatta
We took an oath, saying "No matter what!"
yakusoku o dakishimete
Embracing a promise
mada shiranai ashita datte massugu ni mitsumeru yo
To always look straight ahead, even to an uncertain tomorrow!
I feel you always by me
I believe my faith, my wish

Even if losing hope is an absolute sin,
kono te o nobashite todokasetai
I want to reach out and give it all to you.
sekai nante iu kyoukai o koetemo
Even if I have to go beyond the limits of this world.
okikaerarenai My Precious
You just can't be replaced, my precious!
tatta hitotsu no odaiji to shiranakatta tokoro hodoku
Discovering the one place I never realized was so important,
unmei yorimo tsuyoi kizuna wa koko ni aru no
I found bonds stronger than fate that were residing there!
I found bonds stronger than fate that were reisiding there!
I found bonds stronger than fate that were residing there!
aragaenai sutoorii kowashite
Breaking a story that we were told we couldn't resist,
atarashii kibou o egaiteikunda
I'll write my own tale, of our new hope!
kiseki nante tobidougu hoshikuzu wa ken janai?
Miracles are nothing but projectiles, and the stars can form my sword!
mukae ni ikou kanaetai negai nara
I'm heading to where you are, if you have a wish you want granted!
mada shiranai ruuto datte
Even the routes we haven't yet discovered,
kakikaeru kono Wayward
Will be overwritten by this Wayward.
Next Time
Dolls and Stuffed Animals
Huh?
