Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Are There Still Connection Questions
Anyone who's seen Fate/Zero doesn't know the relationship between Pollard and Andrian.
Everyone has always ridiculed Director Ken, saying that Director Ken's head is covered with green grasslands. But Allister Cook has always treated Sora with courtesy, while Irisviel is a bit...
"Love is a light, so wonderful, that guides us... an unwanted future."
Of course, Irisviel obviously didn't react because her eyes were on the live broadcast.
[If the budding emotion ever reverberated in your heart...]
The Britain Emperor rubbed Weber's little head with his big hand, looking quite loving.
The Marshal brought Ryan onto the stage, and the Kenneth trio followed.
[Then he will always protect you...]
The Henry family appeared, and on the lonely rooftop, only flying insects accompanied Warne.
Then, at the climax...
[Holding up the light removes the hesitation...
What I want to give you is the future...
In the night of weeping, we hold each other and let out a lament...]
Everyone appeared on stage. Arturia swung her golden sword to repel the Nile River Knights. Joe Root wielded two spears, while Asher stood on a streetlamp, watching the world alone. All the heroic spirits emerged, creating a stunning spectacle that left everyone wide-eyed. The sequence ended with the final words:
[Bear the unclean miracle...]
Everyone flashed by, and the scene faded into darkness.
Then, the cold voice of the system rang out:
"The live broadcast is over. It is time for the connection questions. Please connect all the characters who appeared on stage with their respective Master-Servant relationships.
The more correct answers you provide, the higher your reward. Answer all pairs correctly for a special reward. Wrong answers will receive penalties. The countdown starts now: three minutes."
Sora: "So cool! Is this the Holy Grail War? Every one of them seems so interesting. But... @Kenneth, didn't you say you were ready to summon the King of Conquerors? Why did the scene just now look different?"
Kenneth: "Yes... I clearly spent a fortune preparing the King of Conquerors' relic. Why did I summon the one with the spear instead? Wait! My holy relic!"
Realizing something, Kenneth bolted out of the room. A minute later, he returned, fuming.
"@Weber, Weber! You thief! How dare you steal my holy relic! You're a disgrace to magicians!"
Weber: "Ah! I was found out? No! I just borrowed it! I was just borrowing it! I... I'll give it back to you!"
Kenneth: "Give it back? How? Are you going to return it after you've already summoned him?"
Little Oro and Mary: "Oh? Is this El-Melloi I? How did he end up having such a bad relationship with King II?"
Kenneth: "Wait? What terrifying statement did you just make? Explain yourself!"
Little Oro and Mary: "Explain what? Just answer the question! Didn't you see the countdown? Hurry up!"
Little Oro and Mary looked at a piece of paper in their hands. It was divided into two rows: one side listed heroic spirits like the King of Conquerors and Arturia, while the other listed Masters like Warne, Adam, and Holder.
Their eyes sparkled with excitement. So many people! How am I supposed to know all these connections from the internet?
"Ten years ago? I was only a year old! How would I know?!"
Holding the paper, everyone in the group began discussing their answers.
Leo: "Are you connecting the dots? It's hard to say whether this question is difficult or not."
It really wasn't difficult—for Leo, at least. He had watched Fate/Zero countless times. But for others, it was nearly impossible.
John Milton: "It's not too bad. Some of the relationships were already revealed in the scene just now. I should be paired with this little guy named Weber, hahaha. Interesting little Master."
Weber: "Hmph! Why? Didn't history books say Alexander the Great was a 1.5-meter dwarf? Why did I summon a 2-meter-tall giant instead?!"
A 1.5-meter dwarf? Leo chuckled. The one he was referring to should be young Alexander. Indeed, young Alexander was a handsome boy, but when he grew up...
God, what happened to you?
Kenneth: "Hmph! I'll deal with you later! Now... I summoned Allister Cook. The Einzbern android summoned that woman, right? Wait... woman? There are female heroic spirits in this war?!"
As the three-minute countdown continued, the group worked frantically to match the right Master-Servant pairs. Some got it right away, while others struggled.
Jack: "Hah, it's getting interesting! I love watching people panic over quizzes."
Bailey: "Focus, Jack. We need to get these answers right, or we'll face penalties!"
Caleb: "I think I've got most of them matched... but I need a few more confirmations."
Pooran: "This is tough. How did Leo remember all these?"
Leo: "It's just experience. I've watched it too many times."
Rashid: "Alright, here's what I have so far:"
