Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy

After exclaiming in surprise, the schoolgirl thought of something and calmed down and said, "No, that's not right. Although the director did say that a ceremony called the Holy Grail War was held at Singularity X, could that be the truth behind the Burning of Humanity, the cause?"

Holmes said, "It's not the cause, but it's a very important factor. The Holy Grail War is a grand ceremony that summons Heroic Spirits, lets them fight, and the last remaining magicians and servants obtain the Holy Grail."

"Ms. Tousaka Rin and the two Fujimaru Ritsukas, you should be familiar with this knowledge, especially Ms. Tousaka Rin. You should have even experienced the Holy Grail War in 2004. After all, according to the time, you should have lived in Fuyuki at that time."

Toosaka Rin nodded slightly. "Yes, you're basically right. The Fifth Holy Grail War was held in Fuyuki City in 2004. However, I'm not the Toosaka Rin of your world, so I haven't participated in your world's Holy Grail War."

So where did I end up in this world? Was I wiped out by someone burning me?

Holmes was stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a moment before saying, "Well, Miss Lin, it would be fine if you could prove that such a ceremony was indeed held in Japan in 2004. We also have relevant information in our world. I have investigated the records of this battle, but I cannot figure out the process and outcome."

"The only data we can trace back is from the beginning of the Holy Grail War, and the list of seven magicians who gathered to pursue the Holy Grail..."

Holmes wanted to continue, but seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to be hesitant to speak, he paused his scientific research and said, "Fujimaru Ritsuka, is there something you want to say?"

Seeing that Holmes had noticed him, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and relayed the information he had carefully considered: "Detective Holmes, I actually have some inside information about the records of this battle."

Holmes raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had originally thought that the Chaldeans didn't know much about this news. "Oh? What is it?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said affirmatively: "Mr. Holmes, the participant you want to talk about is someone we know, right?"

Holmes: “Yes.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Among the participants was our Director Olga Marie's father, Maris Billy."

Holmes: “That’s right!”

Gudafu looked at the two in astonishment. "Director Olga's father participated in the 2004 Holy Grail War? The former director actually did something like this..."

He doesn't know this kind of information!

Holmes looked at Gudafu, who seemed to be completely clueless, and said thoughtfully, "Yes, Marisbili, as the monarch of the Clock Tower, secretly traveled to a provincial city in Japan and participated in the Holy Grail War. The victor at that time was Marisbili Animusphia."

Holmes returned his gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "It seems you've gathered a lot of information. I'm glad my deductions are correct. Now, here's another question I need answered. According to Hermes' records, he murdered six magicians and obtained the Holy Grail, the all-powerful wish-granting machine."

Toosaka Rin let out a sound of disbelief: "Ah! Does that mean that I'm already dead in this world?!"

Holmes looked at the record and said, "Although it says so, there are more problems in the record. Miss Tousaka Rin, if you were indeed dead at the time, it says here that your body... disappeared."

Toosaka Rin was a little confused: "My body disappeared?"

Holmes then threw out another piece of information that stunned Rin. "Speaking of which, Ms. Rin, has your own world experienced five Holy Grail Wars?"

Toosaka Rin: "Yes."

What's the point of asking?

Holmes: "Can the Holy Grail grant wishes normally?"

Toosaka Rin shook her head slightly: "I can't..."

"But ours can."

Toosaka Rin was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Does that mean there was no contamination during the Third Holy Grail War?"

Holmes: "...Well, that's unknown at this point, but Lord Marisbili was able to fulfill his wish normally, and he was able to successfully establish Chaldea."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also busy during this discussion: "Senior Mo Li? What is the situation of the Holy Grail War in our world? Is it contaminated or not?"

Mo Li: "There are many versions of the Holy Grail War in your world. For example, you can experience only one Holy Grail War, or you can experience five Holy Grail Wars. This involves Marisbil's arrangements here. The pollution and non-pollution state depends on his arrangements at the time, but I tend to prefer the non-pollution state."

According to the incident log, Marisbilly did not participate in the Holy Grail War because the Greater Holy Grail there was already contaminated. So since he participated in the Holy Grail War, it is naturally more likely that it was not contaminated.

Mo Li: "As for the Holy Grail War, even if there were five Holy Grail Wars, it could have been reduced to just one. It could also be that the three great families in your world were too patient and waited until 2004, when the Holy Grail War mechanism was perfected, before actually starting the first Holy Grail War."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Wait, why do I feel a little familiar? Senior Mo Li, if this hypothesis is true, then the biggest singularity should actually be the 2004 Fuyuki Holy Grail War?!"

"That year and that Holy Grail War were the starting point of everything now. It was the starting point of Chaldea, the singularity, and even the Lostbelts. Without that Holy Grail War, Chaldea would never have been established, and naturally, everything that happened later wouldn't have happened."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "If our world really did experience five Holy Grail Wars, or even more than five, and was ultimately reduced to experiencing only one... no matter how it was accomplished, wouldn't that be no different from a singularity?"

Mo Li: "Don't worry, Maris's problem will become clear in the future. Now we just need to save the world step by step."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "...Senior Mo Li, if I want to retire in the future, I can retire with you, okay?"

Mo Li: "Okay, you're welcome anytime."

At this time, Holmes also mentioned the issue of someone serving as Marisbury's helper, and directly pointed out the other party's identity, status, age, etc. There was only one person in Chaldea who matched the requirement.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't respond, but Gudafu was extremely concerned about this question: "The head of the medical department... Doctor Roman."

The schoolmate also said, "Is it Dr. Romani Achiman? Did the doctor...know the former director before coming to Chaldea?"
