It's been ten years since this event. Shirou Emiya now promises his late father, Kiritsugu. Every day he will act as a "Hero of Justice", and still practice magecraft.
One day, he suddenly gets involved in a battle between magus called the Holy Grail War and signs a contract with one of the servants, Saber.
