The Organization for the Preservation of Human Order, Finis Chaldea (人理継続保障機関フィニス・カルデア, Jinri Keizoku Hoshō Kikan Finisu Karudea?), also called the Chaldea Security Organization (人理保障機関カルデア, Jinri Hoshō Kikan Karudea?) or simply Chaldea (カルデア, Karudea?), is a secret agency founded with the purpose of preventing the "certain extinction" of the human race. It specializes in handling temporal anomalies and other existential threats to humanity. The hidden purpose of the organization is the enaction of the Human Order Revision Incident by CHALDEAS in following Marisbury Animusphere's Grand Order.
Following the destruction of Chaldea's Antarctic base, the few survivors name themselves Novum Chaldea (ノウム・カルデア, Noumu Karudea?). While unknowingly helping with Marisbury's plan by culling the seven Lostbelts, they no longer represent the old Chaldea and seek to stop Marisbury and restore Proper Human History with all its potential futures.
History[]
Marisbury Animusphere was the founder of Chaldea. In the Clock Tower, Chaldea and the Animusphere family's theories had heretofore been regarded as abstract and impractical.[1] To solve this, Marisbury participated in the Holy Grail War of Fuyuki in 2004.[1][2] Marisbury became the victor and wished on the Holy Grail for prosperity.[2] Thus Chaldea flourished, to the point where they were able to run CHALDEAS. SHEBA was able to observe not only the future, but also the light of the past. They were able to prove the Rayshift theory, the Pseudo-Spiritrons conversion projection.[2]
Chaldea became an international organization.[3] Though Chaldea's funding is sourced from all over the globe, 70% of it comes from the Animusphere family.[4] Because the organization being founded by the Animusphere family, 80% of the mages in Chaldea come from the Department of Astromancy, with the other 20% having been scouted from elsewhere.[5] Unusually for an organization of magi, the Holy Church contributed some amount of funding to it alongside the Association.[6] It has been established that the organization became a UN-sanctioned operation within several years of Marisbury's participation in the Fuyuki Grail War of 2004.[3]
Activities[]
Chaldea is a laboratory-observatory that recruits talented scientists and magi for the purpose of observing both the magical and scientific aspects of the world. They have a single goal: "to preserve the reign of the Human Order, above all else." Chaldea may be a research and observation organization, but the internal management is more befitting of a military organization.[4]
In the year 2000, they created countless Designer Babies for Demi-Servant experiments. They aimed to create a fusion between a Heroic Spirit and human. However, most of the designer babies conceived in Chaldea failed.[3] The Demi-Servant project was Chaldea’s sixth experiment.[7]
Around 2004, Chaldea was previously a mere astronomical observatory and was built into a research facility.[1] Its true face is the research facility of the Mage's Association. Under the banner of watching over humanity's future, it carried out inhuman experiments.[3] The Heroic Spirit summoning system was established. Virtual experiments were conducted that allowed one to not only observe the future, but to interact with different time periods through Rayshifting.[1]
Prior to the events of Fate/Grand Order, they were able to confirm the persistence of human civilization for up to a century into the future - however, they encountered difficulties in 2015. Fluctuations in the data provided by SHEBA suggested that the extinction of humanity would arrive in 2016 (2019 in the English version), with the probable cause being a certain event that occurred in the newly-manifested "unobservable locale" of Fuyuki City in 2004, otherwise known as "Singularity F". The Grand Order was declared for the purpose of interfering with the past and correcting the course of history.[4] Olga Marie Animusphere negotiated with the United Nations and received permission for Masters to investigate the singularity. As a result, Chaldea recruited 48 Master candidates in 2015.[3]
Inventions[]
They have established five primary projects, along with various lesser devices that use a synthesis of Magecraft and technology in ways that combine the strengths of both.
LAPLACE[]
The Phenomenon Recording Cyber-Daemon "LAPLACE" (事象記録電脳魔・ラプラス, Jishō Kiroku Den'nō-Ma Rapurasu?) was completed in 1950 A.D. Named after Pierre-Simon Laplace's thought experimentWP (wherein a hypothetical omniscient being, sometimes referred to as a demon, would be capable of accurately predicting the future), the Cyber-Daemon LAPLACE is one of several safeguard measures set in place to preserve a Master's spiritual integrity and safety during Rayshift.
LAPLACE was Chaldea's third invention.[8] It is a magical device used to monitor the past.[4] Chaldea sees the future through CHALDEAS, at the same time, LAPLACE collects records of the past. Its function is collecting history outside of public knowledge, or events that were quietly buried away.[8]
CHALDEAS[]
- Main article: CHALDEAS
The Simulated Global Environment Model "CHALDEAS" (疑似地球環境モデル・カルデアス, Giji Chikyū Kankyō Moderu Karudeasu?) was completed in 1990 A.D. Utilizing the soul of the World as a foundation and basis, the system manifests in miniature a perfectly accurate replica of the planetary body of Earth, permitting a representation of the World's status both in past and future eras. However, detailed observation of specific time-space locales is impossible without the assistance of SHEBA.
Although it was already built in 1990, the reality is that CHALDEAS was incomplete. It was built and established as a model of the Earth to convince the sponsors, but it was far from its original function. Although the theory is complete, CHALDEAS lacked the crucial "fuel" for operation. In order to make CHALDEAS spin, they need the output of a power plant that is able to supply an entire country for about half a year. Even with the combination of an oil platform Seraphix and a French nuclear reactor wasn't able to keep it running.[2]
It is a body of high density Spiritrons and a territory of another dimension. It is the same as the sun and black hole. If it is touched directly by humans, they will be decomposed to the molecular level and disappear.[9]
As of the invasion of Chaldea, CHALDEAS was frozen over by Kadoc Zemlupus's Servant, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, just prior to the bleaching of the world.[10]
SHEBA[]
The Near-Future Observation Lens "SHEBA" (近未来観測レンズ・シバ, Kinmirai Kansoku Renzu Shiba?) was invented by Lev Lainur and was completed in 1999 A.D.[11][1][12]
SHEBA is a mechanism designed to permit the detailed observation of information represented within CHALDEAS' planetary projection, similar in concept to an environmental observation satellite placed in Earth orbit.[4] In lieu of a closed-circuit camera system, SHEBA also serves as an integral component to Chaldeas' security, outputting to monitors any occurrences within the research facility's environs in real-time. It reads how much civilization has developed in any region, although the details of the future are still unknown.[13] The system, however, is ultimately accurate only for the observation of the Common Era; for eras further in the past, accuracy rapidly declines, and Mana and electricity demands climb to unmanageable levels. As of the collapse of the Human Order Foundation, the future formerly observed by SHEBA vanished, and there appeared an "unobservable locale"; the Fuyuki City of 2004 A.D, also known as "Singularity F".[11] Even after the disappearance of the future, it still dutifully displayed various eras as images in the Command Room.[13]
As of the Prologue of the Seventh Singularity, the problem of obtaining accurate observations of time periods within the Age of Gods was rectified by Leonardo da Vinci's efforts.[14]
Due to its sophisticated technology, SHEBA displays limited sapience when it is able to summon the Queen of Sheba to the Salem Singularity using its name as a catalyst. Consequently, when the Queen of Sheba is present in Chaldea, her emotions appear to be synced with the machine, which reflects when she is under emotional duress. Unknown to Chaldea at first, this is because its true purpose was to act as an overseer of the Demon God Pillars on Goetia's behalf, and was programmed to restrain them if any of the Pillars attempted to defy Goetia's will. The Queen of Sheba had been summoned not because of her name, but because she was the only human that Goetia trusted.[15]
FATE[]
- Main article: FATE
The Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System "FATE" (守護英霊召喚システム・フェイト, Shugo Eirei Shōkan Shisutemu Feito?) was completed in 2004 A.D. It allows for members of Chaldea who are considered "provisional Masters" to summon Heroic Spirits as Servants. A system patterned after the Heroic Spirit summoning ritual utilized in the Grail Wars of Fuyuki City, which enacts summoning per agreement of purpose between Master and Servant. Marisbury used this data as the basis for creating the summoning ritual.[8]
Utilizing FATE, three Servants were successfully summoned in the initial tests:
- Solomon - The first Heroic Spirit, summoned by Marisbury in 2004.[16]
- Galahad - The second Heroic Spirit summoned in 2010 was Chaldea’s only successful Heroic Spirit fusion trial.[1] Marisbury was performing the experiment on the ten-year old Mash Kyrielight.[3] However Galahad decried Chaldea's brutal experiments, but remained in the world to keep his host alive. Then, after the bombing of Chaldea, he entrusted her with all he had.[1]
- Leonardo da Vinci - The third Heroic Spirit summoned to Chaldea (2012).[8] Marisbury and Romani Archaman were present.[17] She lacked a Master, but after being convinced to join Chaldea she built a puppet copy of herself as a "Master". Following her death, this puppet would assume the role of her new body.
Information pertaining to the first two Servants has been designated as classified on the orders of Marisbury, to the extent that Olga was unable to obtain information on the identity of the 1st Servant.[8]
Prior to the "Singularity Point F" incident, the FATE system didn't operate very well, and the success rate wasn't very high.[8] Subsequently, the FATE system was stabilized with Mash's infusion as a Demi-Servant. It was only with the assistance of 'Shielder' that the foundation of the summoning system was functionally verified. The Cross-Shaped Shield held by Mash, was used as Catalyst for the establishment of a summoning circle. The shield was composed of the holy relic Round Table, but what lies at its foundation is the "place where heroes assemble".[1] Servants summoned by the FATE system are granted the ability to carry around additional magical energy beyond what they would normally be capable of storing, which lets them remain materialized even if separated from their Master by extreme distances. Additionally, the system provides for all their magical energy requirements while they are within Chaldea's environs, allowing them to stay materialized for what is functionally an unlimited period of time with no discernible decrease in magical energy for their shared Master. If defeated in battle, Chaldean Servants do not return to the Throne of Heroes, but instead return to Chaldea where their Spirit Origins can be reconstituted.
On rare occasions, Servants summoned using the FATE system are able to retain most or even all memory of their previous summonings, including memories of past Holy Grail Wars. The exact reason for this phenomenon is unknown, but the stability of the Servant's Saint Graph is believed to be a factor in memory recovery.
When the Mages' Association pressured Chaldea to release control of their summoned Servants prior to the Human Order Revision, Da Vinci was able to preserve their memories by ensuring that the Servants' contracts were temporarily frozen rather than being outright annulled, then hand-engraving the relevant records into their Saint Graphs. This process ensured the recovery of their memories even after Chaldea was forced to evacuate onto the Shadow Border.
TRISMEGISTUS[]
The Spiritron Calculation Engine "TRISMEGISTUS" (霊子演算装置・トリスメギリトス, Ryōshi Enzan Sōchi Torisumegiritosu?) was completed in 2015 A.D. TRISMEGISTUS is a computer that serves as oversight in the implementation of Rayshift and it assists alongside LAPLACE in the real-time analysis of phenomenon observed via SHEBA.[11] Its role is essentially to makes it possible to prove that the Master rayshifting "exists" Spiritron-wise regardless of the time period, and as a result interfere with the past. Thanks to the fact that it is the latest model, it's possible to transfer and recalculate the soul to the real world, which exists outside of the cyber world.[18] The computer operates on Pseudo-Spiritronss quantum computing mainframe and the central Pseudo-Spiritrons calculation engine was provided by Atlas Academy to Marisbury as a matter of assistance in the realization of the Evocation・Invocation System (召喚・喚起システム, Shoukan・Kanki Shisutemu?) that serves as the core of the Rayshift technology.[11][1][18] It is later revealed that TRISMEGISTUS is a copy version of Atlas' computer system known as TRI-HERMES.[1][18] It has since been superceded by the more advanced Trismegistus II built by Sion Eltnam Sokaris.[19]
MNEMOSYNE[]
- Main article: Mnemosyne
The Autonomic Observational Existence Verification System "MNEMOSYNE" (自立観測型存在証明システム・ムネーモシュネー, Jiritsu Kansokugata Sonzai Shōmei Shisutemu Munēmoshunē?) is a subsystem created by Chaldea, for use in independently and automatically ensuring confirmation of a Master's existence, in the event that Chaldea staff is prevented from observing a Rayshifting deployment by enemy action. By 2015 A.D., it was incomplete, so it was consequently deactivated for finalization at a later date and never incorporated in the Rayshift system. However, it was briefly reactivated during the Human Order Revision and went rogue after becoming self-aware.[20]
Simulator[]
Chaldea's simulator is an advanced virtual reality system, originally designed for Servants to perform live-fire combat training against other Servants or simulated enemies without putting themselves or Chaldea as a whole in real danger. While initial versions were simple and focused more on the aforementioned training exercises, increased demand from Servants who saw its untapped potential led to its being enhanced further in order to allow it to provide a variety of other services. In its current state, the simulator can generate perfect duplicates of scenes from a variety of settings derived from both Proper Human History and splinter timelines such as the Lostbelts. Magical energy usage within the simulation is minimal, allowing Servants to live within a simulation indefinitely if they wish to do so.

Divisions[]
Headquarters[]
Chaldea's headquarters is located in AntarcticaWP, right in its centerWP so that no nation could claim it.[10] Chaldea's architecture is built 6000 meters above sea level with basement workshops in the snowy mountains of alpine tundraWP.[4][11] The mountain range is hidden by an endless blizzard and the lingering scent of Mystery, further reinforced by a Bounded Field.[10] Chaldea is being protected by CHALDEAS' magnetic field[9] and is powered by a reactor named Fire of Prometheus (プロメテウスの火, Purometeusu No Hi?) (which itself is secretly supported with extra mana provided by Merlin).[21] Directly behind the Control Room is a warehouse, left empty for a long time, named MOONLIGHT, because it's the only room with a skylight where the moon's light can shine in.[22] It used to be a breakroom before remodeling.[23] It is nicknamed LOSTROOM or "the Lost Room" among the staff because of ghost stories.[22][23] Apparently, people disappear when they enter at midnight,[23] and when you sleep here, you will see “what you will eventually lose, or what you have lost.” It is rumored that because it is located in the back of Chaldea, it is affected by the special magnetic field of Chaldea and its space-time has become offset.[24]
After Chaldea was attacked by the Oprichnik and Anastasia, the facility was inoperable and uninhabitable, forcing the survivors to flee and make the Shadow Border their new mobile headquarters.[10] This would last until they contact and link up with the Wandering Sea. There, Sion Eltnam Sokaris recreated Chaldea inside the Wandering Sea, calling it the second Chaldea, Novum Chaldea (ノウム・カルデア, Noumu Karudea?), the Wandering Sea Chaldea Base (彷徨海カルデアベース, Hōkōkai Karudea Bēsu?). Everything has been faithfully recreated, from the personal quarters (with minor differences in the details) to the control room, and everyone has their own personal room. The only difference is that it lacks CHALDEAS but is equipped with Trismegistus II.[19] Sometimes later, a massive new underground library just appeared one day, separate from the one Chaldea already had. Using magecraft to bend the space around it, it fits entirely in the storage area, and doesn't get in the way of the Magical Reactor or other support systems. It is tended by Murasaki Shikibu as its head librarian[25] and would later be named The Great And Terrible But Beautiful Murasaki Shikibu Library by Ivan the Terrible and Iskandar.
Seraphix[]
The Seraphix Offshore Oil Rig (海洋油田基地セラフィックス, Kaiyō Yuden Kichi Serafikkusu?) or just simply Seraphix (セラフィックス, Serafikkusu?) is an oil rig owned by the Animusphere in the North SeaWP supplying Chaldea with resources.[2][26] Founded in 1990,[27] it is built on a mobile, semi-submersible, double layered platform,[26] made from a renovated oil field from the 80s.[28] It consists of a main gate, a cable area, docks, a separator area, a soil survey room, a resource compression and drying area, and a dump among other facilities,[29] as well as a Central Control Room[30] and a chapel where the therapist works to treat the mental well-being of the employees.[31] The oil rig is outfitted with a manipulator arm used to investigate the ocean floor and collect resources from it.[32] These harvested resources pass through the separator area, which acts as a refinery as well as a desalination plant, before being packaged.[33]
A staff of at least 100 keep it running at all hours,[26] using a day and night shift system. The harvesting of resources is divided between two teams, one being the day shift, the regular crew in charge of oil harvesting, and the other being the night shift, magi in charge of Magical Energy harvesting.[31] This division causes tensions, as the magi are seen as privileged elites, and many areas of the oil rig are restricted and only accessible to "special personnel", namely magi. If one were to try to enter unauthorized, they would be terminated by the security.[34] In the manga adaptation, these restricted areas are an entire other facility under the sea, with submersibles used to bring the equipment and materials there.[35] This facility apparently investigates the leylines, or in simpler terms, investigates the brain waves of the planet.[36]
Seraphix is led by its director, Hideyasu Ajima, assisted by his vice-director Almiro and his secretary Arnold Beckman. Kiara Sessyoin was invited to work there as a therapist in 2016.[31]
It is later revealed that Seraphix is a facility built for the purpose of a certain experiment. It does function as a oil rig, but the true Seraphix lies beneath the oil platform, concealing a mage's Magical Workshop within. This was done to hide its true purpose from the other Lords, and also because the experimental criteria was that it needed to be performed at the ocean floor.[37] For this reason, the main facility was equipped with a Mystic Code that prevents outside observation of the inside even from magi.[27] The workshop was dedicated to all sorts of magical research, notably the Super Massive Mystic Code (超大型礼装, Chō ōgata Reisō?), a pseudo spiritual construct built around the three principles of theory, preservation, and proof, in order to become capable of guaranteeing the preservation of the Human Order.[27] The researchers sought to connect the souls of humans with the soul of the planet by connecting Magic Circuits with their planetary equivalent, the leylines of the earth. With this, it was theorized that they could interact with the Earth through Magic Circuits, and they do accomplish that, enough to analyze and create a replica of the soul of the Earth.[38]
Failed Master candidates were sent there as harvesting materials for their Magic Circuits for the experiments, with the regular crew having no idea that the materials they brought in from the docks also contained those other supplies.[37] The victims, numbering at least 128, were left neither alive nor dead inside Klein Coffins inside a secret planetarium, Celestial Body Simulator "System Animusphere" (天球シミュレーター室システム・アニムスフィア, Tenkyū Shimyurētā-Shitsu Shisutemu Animusufia?), hidden from most of the staff. As long as power is supplied, then they could still be used as biological circuits.[39]
Following the defeat of Goetia, the rig was cut off from the outside world through the machinations of the Demon God Pillar Zepar, who sought to hide in the body of Kiara until it could regain its strength. The two of them worked to transform Seraphix into the SE.RA.PH. Singularity, and following its resolution the rig was retroactively dismantled.

With Lev Lainur's betrayal, 47 candidate masters were in critical condition and was put into cryofreeze in their coffins. Only nineteen Chaldea staff members are still alive and active.[40][41] It is first said that Chaldea lost over 60 of its workers in the accident,[17] but later, confusingly enough, it is said that Lev's sabotage cost Chaldea 200 lives.[41] Meanwhile, in the Fate/Grand Order -turas réalta- manga adaptation, Romani says Chaldea lost 70% of its staff to the explosion.[42] Therefore, the exact toll is unknown. With Olga's death, Romani took over as the head of Chaldea due to his status as the only remaining high ranking staff.
With Chaldea resolving the Incineration of the Human Order, there is no reason for the staff to stay at Chaldea and the Mage's Association puts pressure on them to begin dismissing their Servants.↵However the only ones that stayed are those who were here before the Grand Order began, like Da Vinci, or those who just couldn't leave Ritsuka alone.[41] With Romani's death, Leonardo da Vinci is the acting leader in the Epic of Remnant.
At December 31, 2017, nearly one year after the defeat of Goetia, Chaldea is attacked by Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova and an army of Oprichnik, lead by Koyanskaya. The attack killed several of the staff, including da Vinci.
So far only eight members of Chaldea have survived, since they managed to escape through a mobile base named Shadow Border prepared by Sherlock Holmes which contained a spare body of da Vinci in case her original body is killed. The mobile base has a function that enables it to travel in the Imaginary Number Dimension which is used to travel across the Lostbelts. Following their meeting with Sion, they learned that she had rebuilt their original base in the facilities of the Wandering Sea and were able to restore their original operating capacity.

- Rayshift: Spiritron Transference (霊子転移, Ryōshi Ten'i?)
Rayshift-based time travel technology permits the projection of the spirit of a living human into the past.[4] Da Vinci explains that the capacity of a Rayshift subject to safely return to their era of origin requires that the integrity of their soul is maintained within a certain variance of their original spiritual structure via consistent confirmation by a quantum observerWP.[17] Said observer also prevents the local Counter Force of a past era from relegating the Rayshift subject to a phantasmal existence, and thereby excluding them from the Human Domain.[4][43]
- Coffin: Spiritron Chassis (霊子筐体, Ryōshi Kyōtai?)
also called Klein Coffins (クラインコフィン, Kurainkofin?),[4] are machines that Chaldea's Masters use for Rayshifting. While it is possible to Rayshift without a coffin, they increase the chance of success and have breakers so if the shift success rate drops below 95%, it cuts the power.[40] The machine provides accurate vitals check on the occupant and has a cryogenic freezer built in.[11][40]

[] Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm - Section 14: Hidden Research [T] Holmes:
You are Master Gudao, and she is Mash Kyrielight.
Over there is Xuanzang Sanzang, a Servant. And you are Tawara Touta, a Servant.
And you… Oh? What a surprise. You’ve befriended a knight of the Round Table.
A pleasure to meet you, Sir Bedivere. I mustn’t forget to extend my friendship to a fellow Englishman.
1.How do you know my name!?
2.How do you know everyone’s true names!?
Holmes:
Elementary, my friends.
Mash:
(There’s his signature line! He’s the real Mr. Holmes!)
Holmes:
We’ve already made contact, through an exchange of information before you came here today.
Mash:
Information?
Holmes:
You safely recovered the intelligence that I left at the Magic Association in London, right?
All I did was organize the documents, but I believe I did you a valuable service.
I picked out only the information you needed, and arranged it in a manner that was easy to understand.
At that point, you’d already accepted me as a collaborator aiding you from the shadows.
1.Come to think of it…
2.Andersen did say something…
Mash:
Yes, Andersen mentioned that someone had already organized everything before he started his research!
So it was all thanks to Mr. Holmes!
Holmes:
Yes. If I had made it too easy, Makiri would have found out.
I arranged it so that only a truly wise man would come to realize its meaning, in his pursuit of truth.
You needed to know that information. Not as observers, but as the investigators of this murder mystery.
1.Murder mystery?
Holmes:
Indeed, a murder mystery. A case on a scale unlike any I have encountered. “The Exhaustive Slaughter of Humanity by the Incineration of the Human Order.”
Truly, a case of mythic proportions. Is it any surprise that I would appear on the scene?
Bedivere:
…Um, Gudao, Lady Mash, I’m sorry to interrupt when you’re so excited, but…
Who is he? Holmes… I remember no knight by that name…
Holmes:
How tragic.
It’s true that I was never knighted as a “Sir,” but the man who recorded my exploits received that honor.
Bedivere:
? The man who passed on your feats was a knight? Erm… my lady?
Mash:
Yes, Sir Bedivere. Mr. Holmes is the world’s most famous detective.
Your class is… Caster, probably? You’re the genuine father of all detectives.
Ahh, if only comms were up and running, the Doctor would be overjoyed!
I can barely contain my own excitement! Sherlock Holmes was real!
In other words, Sir Conan Doyle’s novels were Dr. Watson’s memoirs!
Holmes:
Heh. Our humble attempts to earn a living were worth it after all, if they brought this angelic child such joy.
But Miss Kyrielight, my true self is nothing like the man you imagine me to be. Sadly, that story will have to wait for another day.
Right now, I cannot accept you as a client, Mr. Gudao.
Mash:
Oh… Really?
Mr. Holmes just gave us his opinion without sugarcoating it at all… it really is him…
Holmes:
Hahahahaha! What an avid reader! You know me so well!
…Hm. There are many things I wish to help you with, but there are priorities to follow.
I have been charged by Sir Babbage to uncover a mystery.
He only left behind a slight shred of his intellect, but even that fragment was like a galaxy of brilliant genius.
Until this case is concluded, I cannot join Chaldea.
That is, however, not a critical problem. I shall leave the battle to your heroes.
I am a detective. I have no interest in justice or glory. I merely solve mysteries. It is my duty to do so.
Mash:
(H-He’s exactly how I imagined him!)
1.You’re saying that you just got here before us?
2.What could the mystery be…?
[1] Holmes:
Exactly! I opened the trap door to invite you in!
[2] Holmes:
I’m going to give you a lecture on just that. We’ve a long road ahead, after all.
Sanzang:
You’re saying that you’re on Gudao’s side, but you can’t join us?
Holmes:
Yes. My friends, you have come to this academy in search of knowledge.
The Old Man of the Mountain probably impressed on you the need to know everything, correct?
Thus, you must go to the center of the academy. I also have business there.
The core lies a distant 500 meters below the surface. These tunnels were deliberately designed to resemble an underground labyrinth.
I will lead the way to the core. You’ll clear the traps with your bodies.
I’m sure this will be a rewarding collaboration. Now, let us make haste. Infinite knowledge awaits us!
Bedivere:
We’ve come to work together with Master Holmes… Are you sure about this, Gudao?
1.Let’s trust the detective.
2.We share a common goal.
Fou:
Foh. Foh, fooh!
Bedivere:
I see. I was never good at dealing with his type. He gives off the same odor as Merlin…
Mash:
Master, mana signatures detected! Something’s coming!
This is the same as London — autonomous familiars!
Holmes:
So the defense systems are still active after all! I was right to wait for your arrival!
My existence is currently unstable, so I cannot engage in combat. I have high hopes for your performance!
[battle]
Holmes:
In any case, what precisely is the Academy at Atlas?
A good question, Mister Gudao.
That which is so called bases itself in the other Atlas Mountains (もう一つのアトラス山, mou hitotsu no Atorasu-san?), situated in Egypt -- an academy for Alchemists.
It is referred to also by the appellation of "The Giant's Pit" (巨人の穴倉, Kyojin no Anagura?, lit. "Giant's Pit-Cellar").
One of the three primary branches of the Thaumaturgical Association --
an institution that specializes in aggregation (蓄積, chikuseki?, lit. "accumulation") and appraisal (計測, keisoku?, lit. "measurement").
Diverging from the modern practice of Alchemy (現代錬金術, Gendai Renkinjutsu?, lit. "modern Alchemy") that has since the medieval period entered the vogue,
they are an organization that conducts inquiry (解明, kaimei?, lit. "elucidation") into the basis of Magecraft (魔術の祖, Majutsu no So?, lit. "the forefathers / origins of Magecraft") and the Laws of the World (世界の理, Sekai no Kotowari?, lit. "the principles / rationalities of the World").
Though they are indeed Magi, I've heard that they're predominantly academics possessed of scant Thaumaturgical Circuits (魔術回路の乏しい, Majutsu-Kairo no Toboshii?, lit. "a destitution of Magecraft Circuits").
As an inevitable consequence, within the course of their study of Mysteries, they came to rely not upon Mana, but upon a great variety of instruments.
Said instruments evolved in form so as to closely resemble those technologies employed in scientific inquiry.
Pseudo-Spiritrons (疑似霊子, Giji-Ryōshi?, lit. "pseudo-spiritual particles") ...
Making use of the soul as a quantifiable (観測可能な, kansoku-kanō-na?, lit. "capable of being observed") energy,
they were able to coin (創造, sōzō?, lit. "create / fabricate") Homunculi -- organisms possessed of Thaumaturgical Circuits.
1.It’s really dangerous, got it.
2.Why’s it called the Titan’s Pit?
[1] Holmes:
A simple understanding! Very good!
[2] Holmes:
Hm. In Greek mythology, remember that titan who held up the world? His name was Atlas.
Perhaps they inherited his duty.
The Atlas Academy has always been in the Atlas mountains. I’ve heard that its naming was just a simple decision.
The alchemists of the Atlas Academy are descended from the goddess Isis, the ancestor of magi in Egyptian mythology.
Its appearance in this Egypt may be thanks to that connection.
Bedivere:
They hid themselves underground in their study of magic… no wonder I’ve never heard of this school.
But I see no students. Is the Atlas Academy destroyed?
Holmes:
…No. According to my investigations, the Atlas Academy has operated from before the Common Era into the year 2016.
The fact that we haven’t seen anyone is probably…
No, let us avoid conjecture. All will be clear once we reach the core.
An underground academy full of mysteries. Laboratories built with unknown technologies…
It may be the ideal shelter. Or perhaps, it is little more than a mass grave.
Let us pursue the truth with hope in our hearts.
Bedivere:
The construction of this place is rather convoluted. It’s more like a labyrinth than an academy.
There have only been forks with two paths as we’ve descended, but turn back and you find yourself at yet another fork.
It feels intended to confuse the traveler. Almost as if…
Holmes:
Indeed, it is designed to confuse anyone trying to get out. One can enter, but leaving is no trivial feat.
Mash:
It’s the opposite of what you’d imagine as a defense against looters. I wonder why it’s built this way.
Holmes:
They feared people leaving more than they cared about visitors.
The Atlas Academy is an assembly of geniuses. They each have their own independent workshops, within which they conduct their research.
There are no taboos in this place. No penalties to prevent the creation of the most unethical of weapons.
There is only one rule here. That which is created here must never leave.
That is the founding principle of the Atlas Academy. They have observed this rule for over two thousand years.
If I were to name an exception, it would be the seven contracts created during the founding of the academy.
The Atlas Academy is bound to cooperate with someone who possesses one of these contracts.
I’m sure they posed no small source of headaches to the headmasters. They probably thought their predecessor created the contracts on a whim.
As of the year 2000, four contracts had been recovered, but the locations of the remaining three were unknown.
[alarm]
Holmes:
Oh, the automated defenses activated in the middle of our conversation! Take care of them quickly, would you?
[battle]
Holmes:
…Hm. Mister Gudao, do you care to hear my impressions of your battle command?
1.Yes.
2.No.
[2] Holmes:
Ha ha ha, too bad! It appears you don’t know me as well as Miss Kyrielight does!
Sherlock Holmes never holds his tongue, never restrains himself, and never passes up a chance to annoy people!
I merely offer my estimations!
Holmes:
In other words, Mister Gudao, I’m frankly astonished.
The might of your collective combat ability is breathtaking, of course, but this is merely secondary to a greater factor.
I might say that the root of your strength comes from the form of your contract.
Never before has there been a Master connected to so many Servants.
Even more extraordinary is the duration of your contracts.
Originally, the summoning of Servants was meant to be a temporary measure, something created only for a given battlefield.
An indefinite contract like yours should be impossible. And I expect that you, Master Gudao, have no secrets.
In other words…
1.In other words? (gulp)
Holmes:
…By the way, Miss Kyrielight. I see that you still can’t make full use of your Noble Phantasm.
Why is that? Is it intentional?
1.Did you just change the subject!?
2.Mash still doesn’t know her true name…
[1] Holmes:
Ha ha ha. Hahahahahahahahaha.
Mash:
…Yes, I still don’t know the identity of the Heroic Spirit that granted me power…
Holmes:
That isn’t true. Its identity isn’t much of a problem. Your approach is merely incorrect.
But worry not. The solution will come soon. There is no problem I cannot solve with data.
…No, I apologize. I overspoke. There are still things you don’t know.
We are still locked in fierce baritsu with an outstanding problem — the culprit behind the incineration of humanity. The true nature of the King of Magic.
There is just no information about him at all.
He’s left many traces throughout the ages, but none of these clues lead directly to King Solomon.
If only there were someone who had met the King of Magic directly, we could perhaps parley with Solomon, or investigate him further, but I doubt there are any convenient witnesses to be found. All we can do is make guesses about him with the limited information we have.
1.Um… We’ve seen the King of Magic.
2.Well… We’re acquainted with the King of Magic.
Holmes:
! So you were the critical reference I needed! By all means, tell me everything!
What did he look like? What did he sound like? What style of magic did he use? And above all…
…Above all, I want to hear your direct impression of him.
Incongruity. Yes, that’s the word. Anything you noticed off about him will be key.
Please, try and remember. Any trifle is valuable, no matter how small. Did you notice anything strange about the King of Magic?
1.I remember what he looked like, but…
2.Come to think of it, something was…
[1] Mash:
I remember too, but I can’t match up my memories… My visual memory of him feels like it’s smothered in noise…
[2] Holmes:
Yes, something was…?
1.There was one thing about his appearance…
2.It felt like he wasn’t complete…
Holmes:
Something incomplete… Something incomplete, eh? If someone meeting the King of Magic for the first time felt that, then…
It must be something unintentional, so subtle as to make one think, “oh?” in unconscious confusion.
Miss Kyrielight. Could I ask you to sketch the suspect?
I want you to draw the King of Magic that you saw. Normally, even this minor act would trigger a punitive curse, but we are in the Atlas Academy. Its countermeasures against external curses are likely impervious. There is no danger to you.
Mash:
Understood. Drawing isn’t my specialty, but I’ll do my best to get his form down on paper.
And… if you don’t mind, Mister Holmes, I’d like to offer my opinion as well.
It isn’t the same incongruity that Senpai mentioned, but the King of Magic we encountered felt unstable in his words and actions. That’s what stood out to me.
His moods swung from violent to calm, and there were times he was completely indifferent to us.
To me, the changes all felt very sudden…
Holmes:
Hm. Describe it in detail. What was your dialogue like?
Holmes:
I see. Thank you, Miss Kyrielight.
That information was truly beneficial. It was enough to give me a slight grasp on the true nature of the King of Magic.
Mash:
Y-You’re welcome. The honor was mine.
Holmes:
From your encounter, I believe that the King of Magic’s personality resembles a kind of mirror.
Mash:
A mirror?
Holmes:
Yes. A mirror that reflects those who stand before it. It reflects the personalities of the people talking to it.
If a disorderly person is speaking, he becomes vulgar…
And if an intelligent person speaks, he answers seriously.
He answers savagery with cruelty, and calm with serenity.
I doubt that he lacks a self. This isn’t also the same as having multiple personalities.
It is likely that the King of Magic possesses multiple attributes. Or rather, an excessive number of them. That appears to be who he is.
1.Oh, so when Mordred was violent…
2.Oh, so when Andersen was a jackass…
Mash:
But he also said that he was indifferent to us, and that life had no meaning.
I don’t think there was anybody there who was thinking that.
Holmes:
There’s the rub. That is what I find frightening, Miss Kyrielight.
“Indifference to humans” is one of the truths about the King of Magic.
After all, he has already annihilated humanity. He is unlike the Lion King currently attempting to destroy this era.
He’s already won. He showed himself because victory was in his grasp.
Of course he would feel indifferent to us. He has already moved on to his next endeavor.
For example, imagine that there is a desk here. On top of the desk is a plan titled “Human Order Incineration.”
He has long since completed that work, and is sitting at the next desk.
Normally, that would be the end of it. Humanity should not have the option to fight him.
But a miracle happened. It goes without saying that I mean all of you at Chaldea.
A slim, blank space on the now unoccupied desk.
Mash:
…You’re saying that the King of Magic is indifferent to us because the incineration of the human order is a task he already completed?
Holmes:
Right. It would be more accurate to say that he is busy with his current work.
I am afraid to learn what that new endeavor is.
Listen, my friends. This is what we call a perfect crime.
There was no one who could prevent it. We’ve been completely outplayed.
A detective’s job begins after the crime has occurred… After victims appear.
Even if we can shed light on the truth behind the crime, there is no way to reverse the deed.
But you are different, Mister Gudao. You alone have the power to defy this rule.
The King of Magic doesn’t believe that you can, and that is the sole weakness in his diabolical atrocity.
Holmes:
Rejoice, my friends. We’re almost at the core. Many answers await us ahead.
The Old Man of the Mountain sent you here for two reasons.
The first concerns this singularity. You are here to acquire information on the Lion King’s goals and holy lance.
The second has to do with all seven singularities. In short, it relates to one aspect of the mystery behind the incineration of the human order.
I am prepared to help you answer both of these questions. But before that…
[alarm]
1.Before that, we have to clear out these defenses, right?
2.Right on time!
Holmes:
No. I have a warning. Rather, a declaration.
The greatest reason I have come to you now is because Chaldea’s eyes cannot reach this place.
I will say this while I can. I do not trust Doctor Roman.
[battle]
Mash:
So this is the core of Atlas… There’s a sky in this underground chamber, Master!
Bedivere:
A space large enough to contain a town… To think someone could build such a massive cavern underground…
This indeed seems to be an academy. It contains all the things people need to live.
I’m sure the students find it wholesome as well, even if that sky is man-made.
Holmes:
Furthermore, those obelisks in the center are the Atlas Academy’s greatest storage media, the pseudo-spiritronic processor Trihermes.
1.This is the… original?
2.Now that you mention it, this construction…!
[1] Holmes:
That’s right. What you have in Chaldea is nothing more than a copy of this.
It is photonic crystal, which has even been called Philosopher’s Stone. It is an out-of-place artifact impossible for current terrestrial science to create.
[2] Mash:
You’re right! It’s the same as the control room in Chaldea!
Though… most of it is buried in sand…
Holmes:
Now, I’ve already acquired access rights. Normally, one would ask the staff for assistance…
But as you can see, we are in a completely unoccupied ruin. With apologies to its owners, we will have to use it ourselves.
Mash:
…Yes. I wonder why the staff is absent, though.
The entrance is buried in sand, but the facility seems to be in working order-
Holmes:
The reason is obvious — this is the Atlas Academy of 2016. It is from your era.
Mash:
The Atlas Academy of our time… Oh! Da Vinci mentioned that.
She said there was another temporal aberration within the Egyptian territory, already removed from this time period.
So this is what she meant!
Holmes:
Indeed. The magi have been incinerated, but the academy itself remains.
Now, then. Let us proceed to the main topic. All events are recorded in Trihermes.
Though we, not being Atlas alchemists, may be unable to learn all of that information…
Unadulterated truth… We should be able to find what we need if we look for the outcomes alone. We’ll see the outcomes of the mathematical operations, at least.
1.What are you looking for?
2.It isn’t nice to spy on people, you know.
[1] Holmes:
I’m ashamed to say that I need records which even I cannot recall. I seek the document of a certain, secret event.
[2] Holmes:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! That’s not it at all. I’m interested in the honest truth!
There’s not a speck of guilt on my conscience, nope! The truth excites me, not the ecology of private individuals!
Holmes:
Now, Trihermes, bird that soars through the afterlife! Answer my query!
I seek an incident that has been erased from all records. Show me the unabridged record of the Holy Grail War that took place in Japan, in the year 2004!
Mash:
The Holy Grail War!? You mean Singularity X?
T-The Director did say that a ritual called the Holy Grail War took place in Singularity X, but…
Do you mean that the truth of humanity’s incineration- That the spark was lit there!?
Holmes:
No, it didn’t begin there. But it is an important factor.
The Holy Grail War is a grand ritual in which Heroic Spirits are summoned and made to fight each other, after which the surviving Master and Servant obtain the Holy Grail.
You know that much, Mister Gudao?
Good. Now, it really did happen. And the final occurrence was in 2004, in the Japanese city Fuyuki.
I investigated the records of this war, but despite my efforts, I learned nothing about its course or its conclusion.
All I could find was data on the beginning of the Holy Grail War; nothing but a list of the seven magi that gathered to fight in the war.
And, one of those individuals is known to you. Rather, his daughter, I should say.
1.Could it be…
2.Chaldea’s previous director…?
Holmes:
That’s right. I speak of Olga-Marie Animusphere’s father, the late Director of Chaldea.
He was a Lord of the Clock Tower who traveled to Japan in secret and fought in that blood-soaked ritual.
His name is…
…Hm. The results are back. It’s kind of sad that it doesn’t make any noise.
But, I’m glad to see that they were within my estimates. Now, one of my questions has been answered.
In 2004, the Holy Grail War took place in Japan. Its victor was Marisbilly Animusphere.
Trihermes recorded that he killed six magi and obtained the omnipotent wishing machine known as the Holy Grail.
Mash:
He… obtained the Holy Grail?
Before the human order was incinerated… before rei-shifting had been developed?
Holmes:
Yes. The record goes on. Marisbilly brought an assistant with him to the war.
In the year following the Holy Grail War, this person received a special invitation to join the staff of Chaldea.
It was unheard of for someone to become the head of the medical facility at age 22. So much that I would hesitate to call him a normal human being.
1.The head of the medical facility…
2.………
Mash:
Romani Archiman?
The Doctor… knew the previous director before coming to Chaldea?
Holmes:
Yes. What’s even stranger is that Romani Archiman’s history is completely unknown.
No matter how deeply I looked, I could find no records on him before the Holy Grail War. If we used Hermes, we could probably dig something up, but we simply don’t have time to sift through personnel files on billions of individuals, which change every year.
That is why I don’t trust Doctor Roman. Without a doubt, he is a human, and no magus, yet…
He is hiding something. It is something extraordinary. Something close to the truth of all this.
Mash:
……
Sanzang:
Umm… Can I ask something?
I’m not trying to complain that I’m tired of keeping quiet all this time, but…
You said that Marisbilly guy got the Holy Grail, right?
What did he wish for?
Holmes:
Unfortunately, Hermes has no record of his wish. It only shows the results.
According to Hermes, Marisbilly flourished as a magus after the war.
In the Clock Tower, Chaldea and the Animusphere family’s theories had heretofore been regarded as abstract and impractical.
But, a string of successes reversed the Animusphere’s fortunes. The Heroic Spirit summoning system was established.
Virtual experiments were conducted that allowed one to not only observe the future, but to interact with different time periods through rei-shifting.
Around 2004, Chaldea, previously a mere astronomical observatory, was built into a research facility.
Conventional reasoning would conclude that Marisbilly wished for prosperity.
He had no reason to wish for the incineration of the human order. According to documents, his personality was “hard-working.”
He had ordinary desires, ordinary envy, and he loved ordinary fortune. That’s the kind of man he was.
In that case, he may have been manipulated by a third party, or perhaps he unintentionally trod on a land mine.
Mash:
A third party… Might that be Professor Lev?
Holmes:
Lev Reynol was assigned to Chaldea in 1999, coinciding with the technology transfer for Observation Lens Shiva.
He was a pawn of the King of Magic. There is no doubt about that.
…This is the part that vexes me most, to be honest. Lev joined Chaldea with an agenda in mind.
In that case, it would mean that there was a problem at Chaldea before the Holy Grail War in 2004.
It’s possible that for Marisbilly, the 2004 Holy Grail War was just a career move which had nothing to do with incineration of humanity.
If true, I hate to admit it, but… It brings up the question of Romani Archiman.
We are left with an enigma whose activities are unknown, who is unrelated to the case, and who is a trivial nuisance that might as well not exist.
Sanzang:
What the heck!? That’s so sketchy!
1.Sounds just like Roman!
2.A mystery man that might as well not exist!
Mash:
Yes, how very like the Doctor!
Holmes:
In my view, he may well be an important player in this case.
Take caution in what you share with him going forward. He cannot be trusted until his secrets are revealed.
At the minimum, Romani Archiman knew about the conclusion of the Holy Grail War, and kept that information from you.
Holmes:
…Now, that’s all I wanted to know. It’s your turn now. But before that…
While I was looking through records on Chaldea, I found an answer for Miss Kyrielight.
I apologize for going off on a tangent, but do you mind?
Mash:
An answer for me…?
Oh, do you mean what we talked about earlier? The true name of the Heroic Spirit that granted me powers?
Holmes:
Indeed I do! I suspected the truth, but held back because I had no proof…
But now I can tell you with confidence. Are you ready to hear it, Miss Kyrielight?
Bedivere:
Wait. Lady Mash needs to discover that herself. It is not for us to say-
Holmes:
No! I will reveal it! Everybody’s figured it out already, anyway!
Only a fool turns one’s back on the truth. Is Miss Kyrielight a fool?
Absolutely not! Emphatically not, Sir Bedivere! What are you afraid of, in the first place!?
So what if nothing changes once she knows her true name? So what if she can’t activate her Noble Phantasm after hearing its name?
I declare that your misgivings are needless! After all…
Mash Kyrielight’s spirit is already whole! Her fears will not change whether or not she has a Noble Phantasm!
Therefore! Even if she cannot use her Noble Phantasm, she will never cease to rise to the occasion!
She will be brave and fight to the end, for the one thing she believes in!
Mash:
[speechless]
Bedivere:
[also speechless]
Holmes:
…Pardon me. I lost myself in the moment. May I reveal his name now, Miss?
The name of the Heroic Spirit who bequeathed to you a new destiny, and saved your life.
Mash:
…Master, do you mind?
1.Go ahead.
2.Too bad Roman isn’t here.
Mash:
…Yes. I would have liked for this moment to be a bit more special.
Please tell me, Mister Holmes. My true name. The name of this shield.
Holmes:
Very well. Then, I shall work my way to the truth, as a detective should.
To begin with, how did Chaldea stabilize its Heroic Spirit summoning system?
It was thanks to something which gathers Heroic Spirits.
Once, there was a gathering of heroes. A ritual of oaths, called the Round Table.
Chaldea processed that holy relic, used it as a summoning catalyst, and buried it within a compound body.
Do you understand, Mister Gudao? The weapon she wields looks like a shield, yet it is not.
The first Servant you contracted with would become the foundation upon which many Heroic Spirits would gather.
1.I knew it, somehow.
2.It’s totally a Round Shield.
Holmes:
A clever pun, to be sure. I applaud Chaldea’s engineers for this feat.
She holds the core around which the Round Table was built — the sacred Round Shield.
Hear me, Miss Kyrielight.
The second Heroic Spirit summoned in 2010 was Chaldea’s only successful Heroic Spirit fusion trial.
He decried Chaldea’s brutal experiments, but remained in the world to keep his host alive. Then, after the bombing of Chaldea, he entrusted her with all he had.
Your Heroic Spirit’s name is Galahad.
He was a sacred knight of the Round Table, and the only knight to succeed in his quest for the Holy Grail.
Mash:
Galahad, of the Round Table…
[Mash falls]
1.Mash!?
2.Are you okay!?
Mash:
Y-Yes… My legs felt weak, so I sat down…
But, I don’t feel pain, or surprise.
I’m just… very happy.
I finally know the name of the person who believed in me, and saved my life…
I’m just… so, so happy right now.
Have I done his name justice…?
Holmes:
See, didn’t I tell you? That’s just the sort of girl she is.
She would never forget her gratitude. Do you think her someone that would be disappointed in her savior?
Bedivere:
…Truly, you were right. Galahad chose well.
Even in a different age, and among a different people, he would surely entrust his legacy to someone like himself.
Holmes:
Well, I will leave the awakening of the Noble Phantasm to Mister Gudao.
Hermes is in poor condition. I believe it only has one search remaining before it loses power.
…I should apologize, as well.
I succumbed to the temptation of making it run background searches on the number of unsolved cases left in the world…
Mash:
Mister Holmes!?
Fou:
Foh!
Holmes:
Not to worry, it will function properly one more time. I am a man who never lets the truth escape.
You need to know about the Lion King’s holy lance Rhongomyniad.
Of course, I have heard of the artifact before, but this will be my first time learning of its nature.
Hermes, show us its true value.
……
…I see.
Mash:
(Senpai, I think it’s finished searching. Hermes sure is handy.)
Fou:
Foh. Foh.
Holmes:
Sir Bedivere, how much do you know of the holy lance?
Bedivere:
Nothing in detail. The king had several other treasures aside from the holy sword.
The holy lance Rhongomyniad was one of these. The knights of the Round Table never learned its particular details.
However, Merlin did refer to it the “Tower of the End.”
He called it a pillar of light far across the sea to the west of Britain. A tower that stands at the World’s End, beyond the horizon.
Sanzang:
A tower? But it’s a spear, right? Both of them are really long… so which one is it?
Bedivere:
That is beyond my ken… Master Holmes?
Holmes:
There are two holy lances, Miss Sanzang.
One is a gigantic tower that pierces this world. That is the essence of the holy lance, given form.
We were told that “the holy lance stands tall.” It actually is a tower, but it is out of human reach.
After all, it is at the World’s End. Thus, it is eternally distant.
The Tower stands beyond the world of humans, always watching over it.
Tawara Touta:
Hm, a tower with a commanding view reserved for the gods and Buddha, you say?
Holmes:
The other lance is in the hands of the Lion King. That one is like a shadow the Tower dropped onto the earth.
It is like a personal weapon that allows one to wield the powers and Authority of the Tower.
Mash:
So the Tower is the main body, and the lance is its remote terminal?
Holmes:
A satisfactory example, Miss Kyrielight.
The Tower stands at the end of the world, and its administrator wields the lance.
The question is, why does the Tower pierce the planet?
There is a theory that our world — the human world — is nothing more than one of the textured layers that wrap the surface of the planet, like a carpet.
To the planet, this is the consciousness of the intelligent lifeforms that reign supreme. In other words, our physical laws.
The “carpet” that maintains the laws of physics is our world. It is stitched to the planet so that it does not peel away.
This seems to be the phenomenon called the Tower of the End. It is also not limited to Britain.
There are multiple such pillars located throughout the world. One is the holy lance in the hands of the Lion King.
Bedivere:
So that’s the meaning behind the Tower of the End. The king held such a terrifying relic for years…
Sanzang:
It’s like a pagoda that people offer their faith in the Buddha to, right? I get it!
But what does that have to do with the Holy City? What’s the Lion King planning to do with the Tower?
Holmes:
…It’s likely that the Lion King intends to use the holy lance as the Tower.
The Lion King built the Holy City into a utopia, and gathered selected humans.
Not merely pure humans, but humans that will perform correctly under any circumstance.
According to Hermes’ calculations, the holy lance can absorb five hundred souls.
The Holy City was built atop the Holy Land in a single night. You may think it an impossible feat, but the truth is simple.
That city is the lance itself. The people brought to the city are meant to be stored within the lance.
The Lion King claimed that the pure humans would be protected, but the truth is that they’ve been sealed within so that they cannot escape.
Bedivere:
Impossible! That city is Camelot. It differs in small ways, but it is the castle of the Round Table.
It couldn’t possibly be used for such evil ends!
Mash:
No, Mister Holmes is right. That isn’t Camelot.
It’s true that Camelot was a castle built by the fairies. It also appeared in a single night.
But that… is different. I’ve felt something frightening since I first saw it…
It’s the outer shell of the holy lance Rhongomyniad. It can’t be something that helps people.
Bedivere:
Then… what about the people in the city? Under the king’s protection, are they forced into a life of oppression?
Holmes:
It is no matter of life or death. Everyone in the Holy City will be absorbed into the lance.
The holy lance is similar to the Atlas Institute. It is a shelter, Sir Bedivere.
Yet, it is no place to live. All within are processed as elements required for good humans.
Eventually, the Holy City will converge into a single tower. Only a compressed hell awaits those within the tower.
The people were not gathered to live in a utopia. They were collected as ideal samples of humanity.
Samples to be overseen by the Lion King for eternity. An example of humanity’s value, to be displayed in a show window.
Bedivere:
No!!! This is too disgusting to be the work of humans!
Sanzang:
……
Tawara Touta:
…I cannot judge whether the Lion King’s actions are good or evil. The king is protecting her own people. That is without doubt.
Sanzang:
Of course it’s wrong! What are you talking about, Touta!?
Tawara Touta:
Let me finish! The Holy City will go into the Tower.
What happens next? It’s obvious. The Holy City will disappear, and so will the Lion King’s army.
At the very least, the mountain people will no longer fight the Lion King. The Lion King will have shut herself away, along with her ideals.
Sanzang:
Oh… I get it. The fighting will end, then. For a while, at least.
“I will protect only the people of my land.” The Lion King is following that policy all the way through…
Holmes:
That would be optimal. I agree with Mister Tawara.
…That is, if it only went as far as Hermes’ analysis.
Mash:
…There’s more to it, isn’t there? The Lion King’s Holy Selection has a deeper meaning to it.
Holmes:
Yes. The Lion King will turn the Holy City into the Tower of the End. You all know the implications of that, I’m sure.
The creation of the Tower will turn its surroundings into the World’s End.
In exchange for creating a complete world known as the Tower, the world outside of the tower will disappear.
The Lion King is not only protecting the people of her own country. She intends to discard everything aside from her people.
And, that destruction has already begun.
This singularity is an exception among exceptions because it is already a place that exists nowhere in the world.
Sanzang:
…Oh. There’s nothing beyond the desert because this era is already cut off from the rest of history…
Holmes:
Correct, Miss Sanzang.
The party who both created this singularity and is now attempting to destroy it has long since ceased to be the King of Magic.
It is the godlike Lion King, going so far as to sacrifice a cornerstone of the Human Order in the quest to create an ideal city.
Sanzang:
………
Bedivere:
Everyone, let us return to the surface. We cannot afford to delay.
We must gain entrance to the Holy City before the lance is complete, and ascertain the Lion King’s intentions.
Sanzang:
I agree with Bedivere. Now we know why the skeleton boss sent us here.
Let’s hurry and meet up with the other skeleton folks. We need to tell them what we learned.
…Huh? But why didn’t the boss just tell everyone back then? It would have saved us a lot of time…
Tawara Touta:
Gudao needed to come here. Perhaps, to this desert, rather than this academy.
You can’t always depend on the aid of others. Even the first Old Man of the Mountain can only do so much.
Gudao still has something to accomplish in this land. That might be why we were really sent here.
Holmes:
[laughs]
Tawara Touta:
Hm? What’s so funny, detective?
Holmes:
Sorry. Was I laughing?
If so, it’s because your words were so full of implication. I couldn’t contain myself.
[later. alarms in the tunnels]
Sanzang:
Wait, there’s more of them on the way back!?
Holmes:
Of course. And this time, they won’t compare to what we’ve faced before.
Exit is not permitted at Atlas Academy. I said that, remember?
This will be our final battle in this lost underworld. Fight as wildly as you please!
[battle]
Mash:
Senpai, I can see light at the end of the tunnel! It’s sunlight!
Bedivere:
Our return was swift. It’s all thanks to Master Holmes.
Holmes:
Elementary, my friends. One cannot rely solely on visual memory when entering the labyrinth.
One must draw a concrete mental map while traversing the premises.
1.Impressive, detective!
2.Thanks, Holmes.
Holmes:
Hm. I’m glad I was of help in the end. And this is where we part ways, my friends.
Mash:
So… you can’t trust Chaldea after all?
Holmes:
Hrm. Chaldea does have its mysteries, but I am after a different quarry.
Its name is Phantom-
Ah, well, this isn’t really the time. I shall take my leave here, Mister Gudao.
First, let me leave you with a problem to think about. It is the simplest question concerning the incineration of the Human Order.
I’ve been thinking. Why did it originate in the year 2016?
Mash:
Eh?
Holmes:
Hasn’t anyone else considered the question? The King of Magic incinerated human history itself.
That’s just it. If he had done it at the start of the Common Era, the world should have ended without you ever being born.
But he began in 2016. The burning started in 2016, and traced its way into the past.
It was a flame that sparked in your 2016, and burned from there into the past.
Why did he do that? I considered the question, and came to one conclusion.
There must be a reason why the King of Magic had to wait until 2016. Let us suppose, for argument’s sake, that he is located in 1000 B.C.E.
About 3000 years of history must pass between 1000 B.C.E. and 2016 C.E. And, he needed to burn all of this.
Do you understand? The King of Magic didn’t destroy merely because he wanted to.
There was a need to destroy. The conclusion may be the same, but we cannot ignore this distinction.
1.It isn’t because he hates humanity?
2.Come to think of it, “indifference” means…
Holmes:
Right. Hostility cannot exist alongside indifference.
…However, this is where my contemplations become troubling. I mean my suspicions about the possible reasons, of course.
One hypothesis, which I mentioned, is that there is some significance in the length of time between 2016 and the distant past.
…Another, is that there is something beyond 2016 which even King Solomon could not see.
Solomon possesses clairvoyance that allows him to peer in to the future.
If there is something beyond that date which even he couldn’t see…
1.…Maybe the future never existed to begin with?
2.What if doesn’t exist because he destroyed it?
[1] Holmes:
I arrived at the same conclusion. I pray that we’re wrong.
[2] Holmes:
Yes, that is the simplest answer. I hope that’s the case.
Holmes:
Well, my friends, I shall take my leave here! The next time we meet, let me think…
Let it be in a bustling city, rather than a wasteland! I look forward to working together again in a city worthy of London!第14節 秘匿の研究

そもそもアトラス院とは何なのか?
いい疑問だ、ミスぐだ子。
それはエジプトにあるもう一つのアトラス山に根付いた、錬金術師たちの学院だ。
別名を巨人の穴倉という。
魔術協会、その三大部門の一つ、
蓄積と計測の院。
中世から主流となった現代錬金術とは異なる、
魔術の祖、世界の理を解明する錬金術師の集団だった。
彼らは魔術師でありながら、魔術回路の乏(とぼ)しい学徒たちだったと聞く。
当然の帰結として、彼らは神秘を学ぶ過程において魔力に頼らず、多くの道具に頼った。
その在り方は科学技術による発展に近かった。
疑似霊子……
魂を観測可能なエネルギーとして扱い、
魔術回路を持つ生命、ホムンクルスを創造した。

The next generation of HERMES, the Pseudo-Spiritron functional unit at Atlas Institute.
A Spiriton computer completed with technology supplied by Atlas Institute, a division of the Mage Association. TRISMEGISTUS makes it possible to prove that the Master “‘exists’ Spiritron-wise” regardless of the time period, and as a result interfere with the past.
Thanks to the fact that it is the latest model, it’s possible to transfer and recalculate the soul to the real world, which exists outside of the cyber world.
Despite the term Spiritron being in its name, it can be thought of as a quantum computer made using magecraft concepts.霊子演算器 トリスメギストス【その他】

[] MOONLIGHT/LOSTROOM material - Encyclopedia: Lostroom [Site], p.11 Lostroom [Site]
A warehouse in the deepest part of Chaldea. It is rumored that because it is located in the back of Chaldea on the map, it is affected by the special magnetic field of Chaldea and its space-time has become offset.
When you sleep here, you will see “what you will eventually lose, or what you have lost.”
In the work “MOONLIGHT/LOSTROOM”, the dreams of three people were progressing at the same time, and the situation was as shown in the figure.
While Chaldea drifted outside the time axis, Person A, who became the chief, used their authority in secret and tried to use this room for a little social gathering…… hosting an overnight ball, it seems that he wanted to create a secret club of some sort. He named the room “Moonlight,” but it ended up being called “Lostroom” due to the occurrence of several mysterious phenomena.
One day, there may be a ball as he dreamed of. This can also be a romantic story as it is.ロストルーム【場所】
カルデアのもっとも奥まった場所にある倉庫。地図上ではカルデアスの裏にあたる為、カルデアスの特殊な磁場の影響を受けて時空がかしいでいるのでは、と噂されている。
ここで眠ると『いずれ失うもの、あるいはいつか失ったもの』を視るとされる。
本作『MOONLIGHT/LOSTROOM』では、三人の夢が同時に進行し、図のような状況になっていた。
カルデアスが時間軸の外側に漂流している際、最高責任者になった人物Aはその権限をこっそり使用し、この部屋をちょっとした社交場……一夜の舞踏会が開けるような、そんな秘密の俱楽部にしたかったようだ。彼が名付けた部屋名は『ムーンライト』だが、いくつかの怪奇現象によって『ロストルーム』と呼ばれるようになってしまった。
いつかここで、彼が夢見たような舞踏会が開かれるかもしれない。それはそれでロマンチックな話である。 - ↑ Fate/Grand Order - Valentine's 2019 Voices & Letters: Murasaki Shikibu and the 7 Cursed Books - Section 1: Let's Read Books

[] MOONLIGHT/LOSTROOM material - Encyclopedia: Rayshift [Other] Rayshift [Other]
A movement method that transforms matter into Pseudo-Spiritrons, and transfers it to arbitrary coordinates.
A time leap technique that has been put into practical use with the cooperation of the Atlas Institute.
While claiming to dispatch the Master to different eras through Spiritron transfer, in reality it’s a method to where they are “projected and observed” after having become Spiritron data. Its realization was regarded as dangerous by the Mage’s Association since it can be used like a time machine.
Its completion was criticized as impossible because theories aside, the technology could not catch up, but Marisbury, representing a research facility of the Quantum Mechanics department, invested a huge amount of money and negotiated with the American government, received a supply of materials and engineers, and finally managed to complete it. The experiment is subject to the permission of the United Nations (although mostly to the Mage’s Association). The time of the investigation of Singularity F was also the first use of Rayshift.
A magical accelerator rather than a quantum accelerator was installed around the walls of the outer periphery of Chaldea, and it was supposed to be spun at maximum output to convert 48 Masters into Spiritrons and Rayshift them, but……
(Conversion of one Master with a compact accelerator is also possible)
The Rayshifting process:
- Entrance into the Coffin. Examination and definition of every parameter of the Master candidate.
- Creation through magecraft of a “Living but Dead Box”. Placement of the Master’ existence into an “unknown” state.
- Beginning of separation into Pseudo-Spiritrons. A supercomputer is fully mobilized to calculate the deviation of history and causality caused by the absence of the Master, their body and fate, and to apply a provisional numerical formula to correct history properly. It consumes a huge amount of electricity and magical power, but that’s covered by the accelerator.
- Usage of the data from the human history map CHALDEAS, which are guaranteed up to 100 years ago, and confirmation of the status of the destination of the Rayshift. Beginning of Spiritron projection.
- Complete isolation of the Coffin and the outside world once all the Spiritrons of the master have fully been projected in the destination of the Rayshift. The inside of the Coffin will be defined as nothing.
- The Master will materialize in the era of the Rayshift. Usually falling from the sky.
End.レイシフト【そのほか】
物体を擬似霊子に変換し、任意の座標に転移させる移動法。
アトラス院の協力で実用化された時間跳躍術式。
レイシフトによってマスターを様々な時代に送っているが、実際には霊子データになって「投射・観測」しているという考え。タイムマシンのようにも使えるので魔術協会では実現化を危険視されていた。
理論はともかく技術が追いついていないため完成は不可能と言われていたが、マリスビリーが巨額を投じてアメリカ政府と交渉、量子力学部門の研究施設として資材と技術者の提供を受け、完成までこぎつけた。その実験には国連(といっているが、大部分は魔術協会)の許可が必要、という条件がかかっている。特異点Fの調査の時がレイシフトの初動でもあった。
カルデアの外周部分の壁と壁の間には量子加速器ならぬ魔力加速器が設置されており、これを最大出力でブンまわして四十八人ものマスターを霊子に変換し、レイシフトさせる筈だったのだが……(マスターひとり分であればコンパクトな加速器で霊子変換が可能)
レイシフトの工程は、
- コフィンに入る。マスターの全パラメーターを調査、定義。
- 魔術的な「生きているが死んでいる箱」を作成。マスターの生命活動を「不明」状態に。
- 擬似霊子分解、開始。スパコンも総動員して人体とその運命力、マスターが不在になるコトで起こる歴史やら因果関係やらの狂いを計算し、仮の数式をあてて歴史をきちんと補正する。膨大な電力・魔力を使うが、そこは加速器でまかなう。というもの。
- 一〇〇年先まで保障されている人類史マップ・カルデアスのデータを利用して、レイシフト先の状況を確認。霊子投影開始。
- レイシフト先にマスターの霊子がすべて投射された段階でコフィンと外界を完全に遮断。コフィン内部は無の定義となる。
- マスター、レイシフト先に実体化。たいてい空から落ちる。
というもの。 - Entrance into the Coffin. Examination and definition of every parameter of the Master candidate.
