It is late at night after you have gained your wings, and the tree is surprisingly dark. All the fireflies have gathered outside, flying around the tree in a display of glittering stars. It is almost as if they little critters are dancing with joy to see the new friends joining the Tree. On the first floor's branch, the glow worms have settled, illuminating the whole bark like a shining band of Christmas lights - and they, too, are reveling in the joy of new adventurers. Explore how your new gem works, try put your leaf clothes and join the critters in their dance - or simply watch them imitate the starts in the sky. It's a nice night to meet new friends. Just bring a squirrel fur or two, it's still cold outside.

[ Yeah Kuro doesn't need to know that right away. ]

Another Shirou-san? Just how many of him are out there?

[ Far too many, Kuro. Far too many. ]

Rin too? Do they at least know other versions of ourselves? Maybe there's a funny story or two there.

[ Maybe not tho. ]

[2wei]

Shirou-san said he met the Illyasviel of his world during the--

[ She's hesitant, as she swallows her saliva down. Does she really have to talk about this? Well, it's fine if it's Kuro, but. . . it's still not a pleasant topic. ]

-- the Holy Grail War. And Saber-san said that she met Mama before.

[3rei]

[ She listens carefully, and can tell that Illya isn't really enjoying the conversation. Maybe she shouldn't press her too much... ]

The Holy Grail War. But if it's anything like it was supposed to be with us...that means the Grail...

[ And that Saber had met their mother, too. It was all a bit too complicated for her to wrap her head around. ]

Maybe I should ask these people about it myself.

[2wei]

Yeah.

[ She nods, rubbing the nape of her neck as she gives off hollow laughter. ]

Saber-san can probably tell you, but... please don't ask Shirou-san.

[ Please, please don't. Traumatizing him any more than he should is... not good. ]

[3rei]

Umm.

[ She has seen Illya series before, but not like this. What's going on? ]

What's wrong, Illya? Do you know something I don't?

[2wei]

I...

[ Chewing the side of her mouth, she finds herself nearly frozen on the screen. ]

Just don't ask Shirou-san about the War. I'd tell you here, but everyone else can see this and I don't want people eavesdropping.

[3rei]

Okay, okay. No need to make a fuss. I respect your desires if you tell me.

[ It sounds serious enough. ]

So... no sight of Miyu?

[2wei]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Miyu's not here. Gil-kun is, though. [ Because that's apparently the only person that she knows that recognized her properly. ]

[3rei]

That brat? Is he causing any trouble?

[ Gosh darn tiny Gil, you better not be up some shenanigans. ]

So there's people from other places too right? How are they?

[2wei]

Girl-kun has been behaving, though Ruby...

[ Let's not even go there. ]

Yeah, there's a lot of people here. Most of them are nice, but there are a few that are a little grumpy.

[3rei]

Hm? What about Ruby? Has it been perving on you again?

A little grumpy, I guess that's far better than evil or crazy.

[2wei]

A few days ago, Ruby took the youth potion from Gil-kun and put it in the food and drinks to turn people younger... Ruby thought it would be nice to have Shirou-san be my age or younger for once.

Yeah... I'm glad I haven't met any of those types yet.

[3rei]

... Somehow this development doesn't surprise me at all.

Soooo, months? How's life here? I hope it's not boring. And that we can get out of here soon.

[2wei]

[ Thanks for the vote of support, Kuro. ]

Well, I wouldn't call it boring but I've managed to get a lot of training done. Plus we've been collecting a lot of stuff for the future quests-- oh, and we unlocked a floor recently, too. Apparently we can go further up because people get shocked by electricity there.
