The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II (ロード・エルメロイⅡ世の冒険, Rōdo Erumeroi Nisei no Bōken)^?) is a Fate novel series acting as a sequel to Lord El-Melloi II Case Files written by Makoto Sanda and illustrated by Mineji Sakamoto. It is set a few years after both Case Files and Fate/stay night.

Story

Setting

Map of the travels in Adventures up to volume 7.

The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II is set several years after both Lord El-Melloi II Case Files and Fate/stay night. It does not follow a specific route of Fate/stay night, instead taking place after a theoretical fourth route that combines aspects of all three. For example, Shirou Emiya followed Rin Tohsaka to London like in the Unlimited Blade Works route, but their relationship is left ambiguous with Rin claiming that they are not a thing, similarly to the Fate route.

It is also set several years before Kara no Kyoukai: Future Gospel.

While it is not directly related to the story, the events of The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II will lead into the Dismantling War (解体戦争^?).

Development

Announcement of the new series.

The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II was initially teased in the last pages of the 2019 Lord El-Melloi II Case Files material, before being officially confirmed on the official Twitter of TYPE-MOON as well as its release date for winter 2020. Sanda initially wanted to make The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II about the Holy Church, but Nasu asked him to keep writing about mages because content about the Church was for the Tsukihime Remake series.

• The new corrected version.

1/2

In the eighth volume, an illustration contained an error in depicting Shirou Emiya being in his boxer due to a miscommunication between Makoto Sanda and Mineji Sakamoto. The illustration was corrected in later reprints of the volume.
