At this moment, within the light screen.
[After the second-stage Arcueid finished speaking, the third-stage Arcueid immediately followed up, firmly stating her position:]
["I also cannot agree that you are me. Our behavioral patterns and thought processes are vastly different!"]
[Her voice held a trace of confusion and astonishment, "What kind of situation, what kind of change, could cause me to fall into such a state? This is truly beyond my imagination!"]
[Upon hearing this, the second-stage Arcueid curled the corner of her mouth slightly and responded with a smile:]
["Hmph, naturally, it's because of beings I have never encountered before..."]
Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring the curiosity of all Mages and Heroic Spirits present. They all listened intently, eager to uncover why there was such a vast difference between the second and third-stage Arcueids.
[Yet, at this critical moment, the second-stage Arcueid abruptly cut off her statement:]
["Oh! I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed softly, a flicker of apology in her eyes, "I~must keep the following content a secret."]
["It's so important that I can't even tell myself." Her tone carried a hint of helplessness and resolve.]
As soon as these words were spoken, the Mages and Heroic Spirits who were initially full of anticipation couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. They exchanged glances, their hearts filled with regret over the unsolved mystery.
[After hearing this, the third-stage Arcueid fell into brief contemplation before speaking slowly:]
["...Actually, there's no need to know."]
[Her gaze fell upon the smiling face of the second-stage Arcueid, and she couldn't help feeling somewhat puzzled.]
["You always laugh so much," she whispered, "Is your life filled with happiness?"]
[The second-stage Arcueid smiled and nodded, a gleam in her eyes.]
["Yes! I even feel that there are only happy things in this world!" she said emotionally, "I truly hope that one day I can pass this happiness on to you..."]
[The topic always shifted so naturally. At this moment, the third-stage Arcueid brought the conversation back to the starting point.]
["First, let's resolve the issue at hand!"]
[Her words held a hint of determination, "Valentine's Day—are you interested?"]
["Though I cannot directly give chocolate to Chaldea, if you deliver it, that's another matter." Her tone carried a note of expectation.]
[However, the third-stage Arcueid merely shook her head slightly, confusion in her eyes.]
["So, I'm not particularly..." She paused, as if searching for the right words, "I just want to know what kind of event this is."]
At this moment, with the dialogue between Arcueids of different stages, the information revealed left all viewers somewhat bewildered.
[Tōsaka Rin: What does this mean?! Could it be that the second-stage Arcueid cannot enter Chaldea?!]
[Cú Chulainn: That should be the case. If she could enter Chaldea, she wouldn't need to ask the third-stage Arcueid for help.]
[Fujimaru Ritsuka: What's going on? It feels so strange.]
[Leonardo da Vinci: But I'm curious about what would happen if the second-stage Arcueid entered Chaldea.]
[Dr. Romani: No, I'm not that curious... I'm afraid a huge conflict would break out... It would definitely be chaos...]
At this moment, within the light screen:
["Though I am in the Inner Sea of the Planet, I know nothing of the outside world."]
[Her voice was indifferent, "But as Archetype: Earth, I carry the memories of the Earth."]
["We must understand and integrate into the culture and customs of the thriving intelligent lifeforms on the surface."]
[Her words revealed curiosity and respect for the unknown world.]
[The first-stage Arcueid interjected at this moment, her voice equally firm:]
["Indeed." She nodded, "I agree with you. We must grasp the pulse of this era and keep up with the trends."]
["It's not easy to integrate into an organization like Chaldea. We must not only understand it but also actively participate, so our faith can be enriched!"]
[Her eyes shone with longing for the future.]
[Noticing the confusion on the second-stage Arcueid's face, the first-stage Arcueid immediately offered an explanation:]
["This concerns our reputation and dignity." Her tone was filled with unquestionable resolve, "The new princess over there has adapted quite well to life in Chaldea."]
[Upon hearing this, the second-stage Arcueid showed a surprised expression.]
[And the first-stage Arcueid did not stop; she continued:]
["We princesses have always maintained a sense of distance, which gives me a headache."]
[Her tone held a hint of helplessness, "If we are always labeled as ignorant of worldly affairs and thus treat others rudely, then Chaldea will likely soon become empty."]
In the world of Chaldea, Dr. Romani couldn't help but curl his lips upon hearing the first-stage Arcueid's words. His intuition was correct—Arcueid was indeed a troublesome existence.
"I expected this wouldn't be a good thing for Chaldea..." he muttered to himself, a trace of worry in his eyes.
Mash, hearing Dr. Romani's words, thought of Arcueid's special identity. She opened her mouth but said nothing, closing it silently, filled with confusion and helplessness.
Meanwhile, the review in the light screen continued.
[Under the first-stage's persuasion, the third-stage Arcueid began to realize her problem.]
["Then... it was indeed my fault." She admitted somewhat sheepishly.]
[The second-stage Arcueid quietly listened to the conversation between her past and future selves, a complex emotion surging in her heart.]
["So that's how it is. This is the difference between me and them." She sighed softly, "We have never truly integrated into human society."]
[After a moment's thought, the second-stage Arcueid finally spoke, her voice calm and firm:]
["We should not discuss participating in events like Valentine's Day with a condescending attitude. We still need to learn and understand more about the customs of human society."]
["Valentine's Day isn't just for humans; it's something we—no, you as an Archetype—should experience and feel!"]
[The second-stage Arcueid's tone was filled with unquestionable resolve, "It's about gratitude, thanks, and the desire to know each other more deeply. Don't you have such feelings?"]
["So, we must take action ourselves and experience these emotions."]
[Her voice was full of encouragement, "Maybe it seems a bit cool, but when you truly feel that happiness, you'll find it's actually your own inner desire."]
[Upon hearing this, the third-stage Arcueid fell into deep thought, her eyes flickering with complex light.]
["This is neither hypocritical nor simply for the pursuit of pleasure..."]
At this moment, Mages and Heroic Spirits across worlds had a general understanding of the various stages of Arcueid.
Though the second-stage Arcueid had the most eccentric personality, she was undoubtedly the one who had spent the most time with humans and understood them best.
In contrast, the first and third-stage Arcueids seemed out of sync with the human world, as if they had long been detached from the world's bustle.
In the world of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Artoria watched the strange scene in the video and was momentarily speechless.
"What is this situation?!" She scratched her head in confusion, "I'm baffled."
Seeing this, Emiya Shirō couldn't help but laugh. He looked gently at the bewildered Saber, his heart filled with warmth.
Speaking of which, Artoria probably had no idea what to do on Valentine's Day or what it even meant, right?
Just as Emiya Shirō was about to explain to Artoria, within the light screen:
[The second-stage Arcueid chattered on: "Valentine's Day is coming, and everyone is worried about what kind of day it will be. People call this feeling of anticipation and anxiety 'happy/comfortable'! It's not yourself you miss, but someone else. Isn't this a wonderful feeling?!"]
[Upon hearing this, the first and third-stage Arcueids blushed simultaneously. They seemed somewhat shy at having their hearts laid bare.]
[Then, the third-stage Arcueid mustered her courage and said firmly: "Indeed, gathering my feelings is my duty. Since it's my task, I can't just casually make chocolate!"]
[Upon hearing this, the second-stage Arcueid smiled brightly again: "Of course! Without materializing fantasies, let's make it ourselves!" Her tone was full of anticipation and enthusiasm for handmade crafts.]
In the world of Chaldea, Dr. Romani sighed as he watched the three Arcueids preparing to make Valentine's Day chocolates for the Master in the video.
Making chocolates and giving them to the same person—wouldn't that inevitably lead to conflict?
There would definitely be disputes, right?
Arcueids fighting in Chaldea—such a thing would be disastrous!
He knew he might handle previous Servants, but if these three started fighting inside Chaldea, the entire place would likely be reduced to ruins.
"It will definitely happen..." Dr. Romani muttered to himself, his heart filled with worry.
He understood he had to find a way to prevent this situation, to protect the safety of Chaldea and all the Servants.
At this moment, within the light screen:
[After hearing the second-stage Arcueid say they would make chocolate themselves without using fantasy materialization, the first and third-stage Arcueids showed shocked expressions.]
["No fantasy materialization?! So amazing! I can't do this!" the first-stage Arcueid exclaimed.]
["No fantasy materialization?! Then wouldn't I become a god?!" The third-stage Arcueid also seemed somewhat incredulous.]
[Seeing them so shocked, the second-stage Arcueid was even more delighted.]
["Haha, it seems my words have motivated you greatly!" she said with a smile, "Don't worry, making chocolate is actually very simple!"]
Then, the light screen went dark, and everyone could only hear some strange, very loud noises, like the sound of a kitchen explosion.
Then, the next second, the light screen lit up again.
[The second-stage Arcueid sighed, her face looking somewhat weary.]
["I can't even handle cooking utensils properly..." she said self-deprecatingly, "I, I'm not good at this sort of thing..."]
[Upon hearing this, the first-stage Arcueid responded lightly: "It's not your fault; it's just that human tools are too fragile. And why did you claim you could cook? The new princess's thoughts are becoming more and more unpredictable."]
[The first-stage Arcueid, with a trace of disdain and arrogance on her face, declared: "No matter how you make chocolate, what other flavors can it have besides the monotonous sweet taste?!"]
[Her words were full of disdain for chocolate-making, as if such desserts couldn't pique her interest at all.]
[Yet, immediately after, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she proposed an unprecedented, bold idea.]
["Then, next, let's have a contest of quantity and quality! I don't intend to prepare those petty offerings that can fit into boxes."]
[She waved her arms, her tone full of ambition.]
["We can use our power to manipulate the surface and cultivate countless cacao trees. Then, gather these cacao trees, melt their fruits, and create a new ocean—the Sea of Chocolate!"]
[Her voice was high and excited, as if she already saw the magnificent ocean made of chocolate.]
["This way, the chocolate sea we create will never lose to other Archetypes in quantity or quality! We will surely stand out in this competition!"]
[Her words were full of confidence and determination, as if she foresaw the dawn of victory.]
After hearing Arcueid's idea, all viewers had black lines on their foreheads.
This princess... truly had a unique way of thinking.
She even came up with such an unconventional method as the Sea of Chocolate.
The key was, she seemed capable of actually doing it, right?
