Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

---

[The second question is over. Now we begin the final question of the day.]

[There is a saying in certain circles that "lancers are always unlucky."]

[Question: Which of the following lancers has the highest luck value?]

(T/N: To make things interesting you guys should comment whatever you think is the answer whenever there's a Q&A XD)

Waver: "Lancers are always unlucky? Is there really such a saying?"

The King of Conquerors: "This is a question we should direct at Diarmuid. @Diarmuid!"

Diarmuid: "…"

[A: The first option shows a familiar face to everyone: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.]

The King of Conquerors: "Lancer, what's your luck stat?"

Waver: "You can't just ask him that outright!"

Diarmuid: "…It's E."

Waver: "???"

Tohsaka Rin: "You really just exposed yourself like that."

Diarmuid: "You would've guessed it anyway."

[B: The next image shows a tall man with blue hair, dressed in blue attire, holding a red spear, with an arrogant smirk on his face.]

[Below, his name is given directly: Cu Chulainn.]

Tohsaka Rin: "Oh? How nice of them to give us his name."

Waver: "The question wouldn't make much sense if they didn't. Otherwise, it'd just be guessing."

The King of Conquerors: "Who is this Cu Chulainn?"

The Second: "He's a legendary half-human, half-divine hero from Celtic mythology. Known as the Hound of Ulster."

The King of Conquerors: "Sounds like a formidable man. Does he have good luck?"

The Second: "Not exactly."

Chihiro suppressed a grin, thinking, "More like he's cursed by Alaya itself."

[C: The next picture shows a young girl with pink hair, dressed in a Gothic Lolita outfit. She has horns and a tail, clearly showing that she isn't entirely human.]

[Name: Elizabeth Bathory.]

Waver: "Elizabeth? Isn't this depiction… a bit off?"

The King of Conquerors: "What's wrong with it?"

Waver: "In history, Elizabeth Bathory was a brutal figure, supposedly bathing in the blood of young girls to maintain her youth. She's often called the Vampire Countess."

Artoria: "Bathing in human blood… that's utterly vile."

Diarmuid: "Another deranged individual like Bluebeard, I suppose?"

Irisviel: "Isn't there some mistake? This picture doesn't look anything like a 'Vampire Countess'."

Tohsaka Rin: "And what's with the horns and tail?"

Kayneth: "Isn't she supposed to be a lancer? I don't see any weapon."

Everyone in the group was puzzled by this version of Elizabeth, looking more like a quirky idol than a legendary monster.

[D: The fourth option shows a young woman in knight's armor, holding an oddly-shaped, double-ended spear in one hand and a shield in the other.]

[Name: Gareth.]

Irisviel: "Gareth! Artoria, could this be…?"

Artoria: "Yes, it's Sir Gareth, the seventh Knight of the Round Table."

Artoria: "She was a kind-hearted and beloved knight…"

The Black Knight: "Ahhh!!!" (T/N: changed this to black knight)

Hero King: "Matou Kariya, control your mad dog. Why is he screaming again?"

Matou Kariya: "…"

He considered intervening, but seeing the Black Knight gripping his head and behaving erratically, he knew any attempt would be futile.

Unless he wanted to waste a Command Spell to force the Black Knight to calm down, but that wasn't an option here.

Kayneth: "Is there some reason her appearance doesn't match the traditional records?"

The King of Conquerors: "King of Knights, your subordinate is…"

Before Iskandar could finish, Waver quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.

This guy… When would he learn to be more tactful?

Gareth's death was a painful memory for Artoria. If Iskandar brought it up in the context of a "luck" question, Artoria would undoubtedly take it as an insult.

"It's alright, Saber…"

Irisviel gently patted Artoria's shoulder, attempting to offer comfort as she noticed the King of Knights lost in somber memories.

[E: The next image is of a tall, muscular knight in heavy silver armor, holding a silver spear.]

[Name: Percival de Galles.]

Kayneth: "Another Knight of the Round Table?"

Artoria: "Sir Percival…"

Zhang Jiao: "This knight seems rather impressive. Who is he?"

Chihiro chimed in, "Percival is the second seat of the Knights of the Round Table, known as the 'Pure Fool.' The spear he wields is another sacred spear, different from Rhongomyniad or the Spear of Longinus."

The King of Conquerors: "Hahaha! King of Knights, you have a remarkable group of knights under your command."

The Black Knight: "Mmmmmmm…"

[F: The final image shows a striking woman with purple hair, wielding twin red spears that resemble Cu Chulainn's weapon.]

[Name: Scathach.]

"Shishou!"

Chihiro hadn't expected to see her appear in the lineup.

He thought to himself, "Well, it's true, Shishou has quite the impressive figure…"

Kayneth: "Interesting! I didn't expect this person to have become a Heroic Spirit as well."

Diarmuid: "She's the legendary Slayer of Gods, Queen of the Land of Shadows. A warrior and teacher to countless heroes… it's surprising to see her here."

Goddess Venus: "A God-Slayer? Hmph, what terrible luck."

Naturally, divine beings harbored no love for god-slayers, who stood in defiance of the gods.

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Isn't this someone who should technically still be alive?"

Hero King: "A useless goddess is still alive as well and yet has descended as a Heroic Spirit."

Goddess Venus: "You! You want to fight, mongrel?"

Gilgamesh: "Hmph. I don't know who was the one getting beaten yesterday with no chance to fight back."

Goddess Venus: "What did you say, you %@#$&%!"

Ishtar's curses filled the group chat.

This Gilgamesh, every time he taunted her, he'd use the chain of heaven, never giving her a chance to retaliate properly.

"…"

The rest of the group members were slightly stunned. No one expected the proud goddess to let loose in such a down-to-earth way.
