Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

---

Chihiro: "Congratulations, Waver. Looks like you've gained a new 'adorable' little sister."

Waver: "What are you talking about? I don't even know her."

---

["You want me to succeed Lord Kayneth?"]

[Waver, who had been feeling rather cheerful before, now fell into a contemplative silence.]

[Reines didn't rush him; she simply observed him with a calm, expectant gaze.]

[After a few moments, Waver's expression steadied as he spoke, "I have one condition."]

[Reines raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "And what would that be?"]

["I want to add 'The Second' after El-Melloi."]

[Waver's voice was low and steady. "This title is still too heavy for me. Only someone like Lord Kayneth truly deserves it."]

---

Kayneth: "Waver, you..."

Waver: "…"

What could he say? He didn't fully understand the depth of emotion he saw in his future self from the video.

After all, he hadn't yet gone through all the experiences that would shape him into that person.

---

[Reines was still curious. "I thought you didn't particularly like my brother."]

["Personally, no, I didn't," Waver replied seriously. "But as a mage, I respected him deeply."]

["No matter what, there's someone I want to measure myself against."]

[The scene shifts, showing Waver clad in a sharp suit, accepting a red coat from a bodyguard before striding out of the room with purpose.]

[In that moment, his figure begins to evoke the powerful, commanding presence of the King of Conquerors.]

["Yes, even if the Holy Grail War has ended, life goes on, even if it's in a mundane way."]

---

[The scene changes once again, replaying the fateful moment where the King of Conquerors, Iskandar, was bound by the Chains of Heaven, as Gilgamesh's golden sword of rebellion pierced his chest, ending his journey.]

[Gilgamesh seemed to exchange a few words with Waver before departing, leaving Waver kneeling alone on the battlefield, his anguished cries echoing across the empty space.]

["Because life continues, we must keep struggling."]

[The bridge Waver knelt on transforms into an endless sea, and his figure gradually shifts into that of "El-Melloi II."]

["One day, I'll reach that boundless ocean you dreamed of seeing!"]

[Waver stretches his hand towards the horizon, as if trying to grasp something just out of reach.]

[On the distant waves, Iskandar's towering form appears a phantom across the other side of the sea.]

[The video ends here.]

---

The King of Conquerors: "Hahaha! My Master, it seems you couldn't bear to let me go after all."

Waver: "Don't get sentimental. How would I know anything about this kind of thing…"

He hadn't expected Iskandar to have such a profound impact on him.

After all, they'd only known each other for two short days.

---

[The video shows that, with Reines' support, Waver takes on the title of El-Melloi II, forming a bond with the El-Melloi family, a connection that endures over time.]

[In a parallel world, El-Melloi II becomes a pseudo-servant, bonded with the heroic spirit Zhuge Liang. Similarly, Reines becomes a vessel for another heroic spirit.]

[Question: Who is the heroic spirit that possesses Reines?]

Options:

A: Liu Bei

B: Huang Yueying

C: Pang Tong

D: Sima Yi

[Please answer within five minutes. Exceeding the time limit will be considered as forfeiting the question.]

Tohsaka Rin: "What does this question even have to do with the video we just watched?"

[The system responds, explaining that the video primarily served to introduce the relationship between Reines and Waver, fulfilling group member Kayneth's curiosity about his successor's future.]

[The system sternly warns the group members, "Do not pester for further questions about El-Melloi II. Anyone who dares to persist will lose question privileges and be removed from the group chat."]

Everyone: "!!!"

Chihiro: "Kayneth, you really know how to provoke the system."

Kayneth: "I was only concerned about my legacy. Is that so wrong?"

Waver: "But… I didn't realize this system was so… sentient."

Chihiro: "Alright, let's focus on answering the question."

---

"Hey, kid, which option should I pick?"

Both Zhang Jiao and Red Hare turned to Chihiro, waiting for an answer.

Chihiro explained, "This question revolves around the bond between Reines and Waver."

"From the video, it's clear that Reines has firmly tied herself to Waver's fate."

"Now look at the options, they represent the lord, wife, friend, and rival of Zhuge Liang. Which one do you think fits her personality best?"

Zhang Jiao thought for a moment and said, "From the perspective of that bond, it should be either A or D."

"It shouldn't be A," Red Hare added. "That girl Reines doesn't match the character of Lord Xuande at all."

"So the answer is D?" Zhang Jiao asked.

Chihiro smiled and said, "Then let's go with D."

Some of the other group members, including Kayneth, came to a similar conclusion.

However, since he didn't know much about the Three Kingdoms history, he and Diarmuid each picked different answers.

For Waver's group, the alternate timeline information made this question feel like a giveaway.

[The time for answering has ended. The correct answer will now be announced.]

[A picture appears on the screen, showing Reines dressed in a traditional Chinese-style outfit.]

[She wears a long, elegant blue robe, a plush scarf around her shoulders, and a headpiece adorned with pheasant feathers.]

[The introduction below reads: Reines (Sima Yi).]

[The correct answer is D.]

[Congratulations to Waver, Chihiro, Kayneth, the King of Conquerors, Emiya Kiritsugu, General Tiangong, Red Hare, and The Second for each earning 5 Saint Crystals.]

[Bluebeard chose not to answer this question.]

[The remaining group members who answered incorrectly will lose 1 Saint Quartz.]

Tohsaka Rin: "What? I thought it was B."

Waver: "Why did you think that?"

Tohsaka Rin: "Well, based on how things looked in the video, it seemed inevitable that you two would end up together in the future."

Waver: "…"

Kayneth: "I didn't expect that Reines would also become a pseudo-servant in another world."

He made a decision, then and there, that when this Holy Grail War was over, he would personally bring Reines into the family and adopt her as his sister.

What, there's no way to go back?

What a joke. Now that he was aware of the dangers of the Holy Grail War, he'd never allow himself to fall like in the video.

To suffer defeat now would be an embarrassment to his legacy as a mage.
