BB/GO?

Ah, if it's her then our place's Martha-san came back today and easily punished her with a BBB.

Hello, it's Kinoko.

I was thinking that the number of players completing the CCC event was about to increase. Thanks for your hard work. Today's update will also update the boss's materials so look forward to that too!

Now then. In a certain interview, I said "in some ways this was the reason I started FGO", but it wasn't just for the CCC event.

"The chance to tell the after-story for sub-heroines whose stories had once ended", that is something that can only be done in a medium like FGO.

Just like 'Ryougi Shiki' and this time's guest heroine, the greatest strength of "FGO" is as a festival game where heroine routes that would never have made it into the original story get to be written. (For an example of that, the one who received the greatest boon from this would be Elizabeth. It's... sad for Eli-chan, but there's nothing to do but to wait for a fitting reward because it's the EX main chapter...)

 

 

Well then, from here on it's the spoilers/setting notes corner. Those who haven't cleared the event, come back after clearing it.

 

The nature of Kiara in FGO

Until the age of 14, she had the same nature as in CCC, but things developed differently afterwards. After being cured by a doctor from outside the mountains, she was no longer imprisoned and was able to leave the mountains and have a happy school life.

After that, her saintly nature saved many people, but was attacked by organizations with vested interests who complained "Why are you outdoing us in our field, and for free at that!?", made out to be a villain, lost her place of belonging, and before she knew it, arrived at the oil rig. But she was not concerned with her own persecution or thought it to be misfortune.

If Zepar did not manifest, Kiara would have been able to heal the turbulent hearts of the Seraphix staff.

 

Lost Man

As an aside, Lost Man reactivating at the end was not because he was made a fool of by Kiara, but he stood back up because she mocked the people who had ostracized the nameless hero. "If you say that, then I cannot remain silent", something like that.

 

Changing fate to never meet~

The CCC incident caused him/her some trouble. So, all of the world forgot that incident, and even if BB remembered forever, she would insist that "we never met", and smother her own dream. All for the sake of protecting that future.

 

 

The story before Deep-Sea Cyber-Nirvana began

There were various complications, and I will now explain the story before the event began.

 

    January

Zepar appears in Seraphix and begins to take control of it. Digitization of the material world begins. Seraphix will eventually become a closed-off space. Zepar discovers Kiara, who had come together with the medical team, and chose her as its target for possession, hiding within her. It was to heal its wound from the Time Temple.

 

    February

Days of violence and chaos. The digitization of the oil rig is progressing bit by bit. Kiara has become aware of her spiritual corruption but is yet trying her best as a therapist.

 

    March

Morals within Seraphix have finally collapsed. Zepar reveals its name to Kiara and establishes a relationship of proper co-existence (domination). Zepar finds out about the experiences of the Kiara from the Moon from the records of parallel words. Because it would be extremely effective, it synchronizes them and draws out her abilities.

The incident of the Moon Cell's Kiara was an imaginary numbers phenomenon (lost from the observing universe, but remains like a barely existing old book in the recording universe), so Zepar would not have been able to see it normally, but as its observation target was Kiara, a Beast candidate (Authority of the Beast: resistance to parallel world and time regression attacks, in other words resistance to instant death of fate. To deal with the record being handled as an imaginary numbers phenomenon, even if the Kiara incident is no more, the records of Kiara herself will not disappear), it was possible. Zepar, really had no luck.

The digitization of Seraphix now turns to conversion to SE.RA.PH. Even if Seraphix sinks into the ocean, it can endure thanks to digitization. Time within SE.RA.PH begins to change. Kiara (Zepar) begins to form a cult from the surviving members of the staff.

At the end of a lot of trial and error by Kiara, the observatory was opened. The vice-director fell to fear and self-preservation and was unable to start it up. The last lever was pulled by a man specializing in dirty jobs. (This man was the only one amongst the staff that did not have a physical relationship with Kiara)

The Servant summonings begin. The 100x time dilation begins.

The Holy Grail War begins~ Kiara's predation begins. After this, Zepar loses his freedom.

 

    April

In order to ensure the Holy Grail War goes smoothly, Kiara salvages BB (GO). Melt and Lip are also salvaged successfully to serve as pawns.

As the administrator of SE.RA.PH, BB/GO informs the surviving staff of the current situation. "A fun game is about to begin, if you take advantage of it perhaps you may be able to survive?"

"Ah, but as the information density within SE.RA.PH is several dozen times that of the outside, 100 minutes here is equal to 1 minute on the outside. In other words---" The rescue that will come in May is 50 years in the future, she tells them.

The internal strife that ensued amongst the Seraphix staff that took shelter in the control room was such a sad thing. Beckman (being led around the nose by Kiara), takes control of the group. After that, it's Beckman's Mist Theater. Staff opposing him are chased out to be devoured by the attacking programs, and attacks are ordered on Melt and co. who are looking around SE.RA.PH.

BB/GO, pretending to follow Kiara, is treated as an enemy by Melt and Lip who had been turned into Sentinels. But with her salvaged body, she is unable to oppose Kiara and chooses neutrality for now, working hard to grasp the conditions within SE.RA.PH.

In the end, Melt and co. go against Kiara. As a result, Melt is scheduled for disposal and Lip is put in bindings, her free will sealed.

After countless Holy Grail Wars, Kiara gains the immature form of a Beast. With this she begins the process of creating her "true body". SE.RA.PH itself will be her next body for the sake of transforming into a Beast. SE.RA.PH begins to turn into Kiara. The human that is Sesshouin Kiara is, at this time, an extension that can be discarded at any time. (The one who clung to this extension was Zepar)

The Moon Cell detects the presence of a Beast and becomes aware of the incident. Since it is a Beast incident that originated from the Moon Cell, it dispatches BB as CCC (Special Disposal). Although BB was sent to SE.RA.PH, she is aware that she can no longer do anything personally to Kiara, who has become a megastructure. She sets up an Order to defeat Kiara through the cooperation of the local humans.

BB and BB/GO come into contact. For their respective goals, they swap places. After this, the managing AI of SE.RA.PH is the Moon Cell BB. So that the swap is not found out by Kiara, she behaves completely as "the management AI obedient to Kiara".

Oh, by the way, Zepa whoever disappears around here.

The Holy Grail War keeps going.

 

    May

Kiara has finally become SE.RA.PH, completely. As preparations are complete, it's time to GO! To the Mariana Trench of 2030 AD.

Kiara's greatest mistake, or perhaps oversight. Mdm Trapine (BB's secret helper) reaches the communications room alone, and sends out an SOS to Chaldea even while being decomposed into data. Out of respect for the strength of humanity that Mdm Trapine demonstrated in her last moments, BB buries her with care. BB swears that this incident will be dealt with as an imaginary numbers phenomenon and all of the staff saved, as if "nothing had happened". But not Zepar and Kiara.

Kiara, acknowledging that Chaldea has become aware of the abnormalities in Seraphix, leaves the countermeasures to BB. BB reports to Kiara that she'll bully them , but of course has summoned to SE.RA.PH, Chaldea's Master as her only hope.

Chaldea's Master shifts over to SE.RA.PH but (because of Kiara's suppression) their Servants are scattered all over SE.RA.PH and defeated. Finding themselves alone at the entrance to SE.RA.PH, the Master escapes the maddened Servants and makes their way to the church somehow. There, they meet Meltlilith, who had been scheduled for disposal and was about to stop functioning from lack of magical energy.

The two, contract. Because she had been reset, Meltlilith was very obedient & Level 1.

Their battle begins. To describe how desperate it was, from Melt's point of view it was like "Challenging the entire Kamen Rider Corps as a Shocker battle grunt (alone)", that level of an impossible game. It was tough, it was scary. But they did their best. Even so, for her, the entire incident is all shining so brightly.

Various things happened and time has run out. SE.RA.PH pierces through the trench. Right now even though they have saved Passionlip, they could not remove the bindings. The three reach the observatory and are destroyed by Kiara. Melt makes a desperate, one-time flight with Lip's assistance.

 

    30 minutes, before the main story starts

With a crash of falling lightning, Melt arrives at SE.RA.PH, two hours before in real time. She contacts BB who had detected the anomaly and shares her own memories, discussing a secret plan for battle. The "Don't let Kiara know, and kill Kiara at the end" plan begins.

BB begins to create the Slots and KP. From Kiara's perspective, they seem to be for the purpose of "bullying Chaldea". Melt hurries to the church and meets the Melt scheduled for disposal --- a lonely farewell.

Chaldea's Master shifts to SE.RA.PH.

BB, hearing from Melt that Kiara would scatter the Servants, forcefully picks and sends along (secretly) three Servants affiliated with Chaldea. In order to keep Kiara from becoming alert to BB's cooperation, the Servants are fed with mistaken information that "we were the ones that came along with Master".

And so, the Emperor, Miko and Red Jacket that were sent flying were captured by Kiara's hand... not really, actually they were retrieved by BB/GO, who heard of it from BB. (It's complicated!)

...and that is how the story went.^{[Translator 1]}

2017/6/29: Agarthan Mushrooms. (Kinoko)
Hey all, thanks for waiting!


Agartha starts later today!
Each chapter of Part 1.5 is peaky, and in Agartha, we will fight "physically violent" beautiful flowers.
There is a lot of journey-ing feelings.
Like, "Wait, was FGO a adventuring fantasy kind of thing? We finally became a good ol' RPG in our 2nd year?!"


My reccommendation for this time is Berkserker of Eldorado, so full of fetish that you can tell the writer for her right away.
You have to listen her to shouting in her NP.
She's a Berserker this time. Please look forward to the story!

Those who saw the electrifying CM yesterday probably don't need me to tell you, but let me say this.
Guda wearing glasses, dressed in a manager-like MC, accompanied with three beautiful women.
The three behind you, they're all XXX...

I wonder who the boy is... since I don't know, I'll call him Masshiroi for now... ^{[Translator 2]}

2017/11/29: 46 Billy Kinokons (Kinoko)
This is the next morning after my birthday, good morning.

Yesterday was like a dream.
Everyone I meet were acting unusually,
"Please come watch the next stream", "You will come watch, right?"
"You should come watch", "You should make time to go watch"
trying to invite me to go to the livestream studio.
"Hah, it's on the 28th so they must be planning to do something to celebrate my birthday.
Stop it, I'm not that young enough to be happy about cake.
But I'll go anyway, I've never been to the studio. Maybe I can use it for something."
... so I went like a gullible person, and was knocked out by the tremendously stupid project they had.


What an awesome waste of talents...!


But it was very, very good.
I hadn't been told about that present, and I knew the illustrators had a tight schedule, so I am filled with gratitude.
I thank you for drawing each of your non-existant Nasu Kinoko to celebrate.


Really, really, thank you.
I've never had a day as fun as this.
I can't tell here, but I also received other thoughtful presents.
I realize we have been acquainted for more than 10 years. Thank you to all who sent messages too.
I'll keep on working to repay your kindness.


By the way.
In the poster, the 46 Kinokos were all trimmed and fit together, but each Kinoko actually had things like backgrounds and full body art and some other strange things, and was very interesting.
They showed me in a catalog, but it was definitely an illustrated demon guide.
I am determined to show you those complete Kinokos, so I hope you will enjoy each illustrators' Kinoko. What is Kinoko. What is the universe. What are piglets. Your mind will be filled with questions.


If there is one thing that disappointed me from the stream yesterday...
I think there should have been 14 quartz instead of 10.
Don't you think the amount should match my age? ^{[Translator 3]}

2017/12/10: Apoc Ep. 22 (Kinoko)
Sudden post, but I'm writing this just after a private showing of Apocrypha ep22, since I wasn't able to record it this week.


I watched something terrible and wonderful.
I can only call it a masterpiece.
Even if it was just by circumstance, I'm grateful I got to watch it in the private viewing room.
It was animation and a sense of speed worthy of watching on the 200-inch screen.
I might even say this is the zenith of Apocrypha's battle direction, having showed us this showsmanship and urgency of motion.


Indeed, radiance is this stroke of the pen. Know that this is excellently stylish direction. [eh clumsy translation but it's supposed to resemble Karna's NP line]


I witnessed an outpouring of brilliant talent, so much that I couldn't help but laugh during Karna and Sieg's last clash.
Of course, it was because it just felt that great. I wanted to stand up and say "oh, bravo!"


Apparently the staff working on this episode are quite young, and they were given free reign over the entire episode.
I think some ridiculous monster has shown its true power...
I want the mistress of the underworld to fight that flashily, too...

2017/12/16: Untitled. (Kinoko)
We're in the middle of the Xmas Event, but let me leave a scribble.

To know the reason the second gatekeeper called himself a Santa Claus, please play Hanafuda Douchuuki (Karen).
It took 10 years to make this reference.

And to people who like that gatekeeper, I will rec ELLEGARDEN's "Santa Claus".
I know this is the kind of delusional thoughts common in otaku, but I listen to that song and think,
"I know this is impossible, but like 10 years after Hollow, on a Xmas night, this was what he wanted to on the last day before he disappears"^{[Translator 5]}
