Oh shit, that poem in Sei's chocolate references my absolutely favorite moment in the Pillow Book.

It's been fun.

Bart's one notedness is as predictable as expected.

LOL I JUST WATCHED MANDRICARDO'S SCENE AND HE THOUGHT WE WERE FIRING HIM, SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE THIS BOY FROM HIMSELF (´ ▽`).。o♡

Ash and More take us on dates, I expected Arjuna alter's gift to either be over the top or super down to earth but I guess that's a good in between. I was wrong about Paris's gift, an Apollo doll...I'll put in Asclepius room and watch what he does with it

Hang on, I transcribed it somewhere a while ago. I think I have to get out my old laptop, so bear with me.

It's been fun.

Found it!

[The exchange] occurs in the same section as the mention of Teishi seeking Shōnagon at the Konijō Mansion, as above. After some four months in a gloomy self-imposed retirement at home, having grown more and more dejected after Teishi’s repeated summons back to her side have stopped, Shōnagon receives a handwritten note from the Empress, a thought that makes her heart pound, and opens it to find "…a single kerria petal, on which was inscribed the following: 'and never rises into words'". McKinney notes that this is a reference to a classic poem that suggests that love is stronger for remaining silent, while the kerria flower is poetically linked with unspoken thoughts: 'Greater is the feeling/ that in the waters of the heart/ stays seething deep below/ and never rises into words/ than that which can be spoken'.

Translation's by Meredith McKinney, rest of the paragraph by me.

The text on the paper in the CE is the same "and never rises into words" portion of the poem.

What can one expect? Heian nobility was a bunch of useless rich gits locked inside a really big house.

It's like Big Brother without the cameras.

"Apparently, there are just too many fun things here.

What she gave to you was a brightly-colored notebook, packed with stickers and decorations. Each page stuffed with handwritten notes, though it's hard to say whether any of them are of particular value. However, they are without a doubt "her words, in this moment".

The things she loved, the things she disliked. Scenery she'd beheld, and people she'd met for the first time. Precious moments in time, now and forevermore. And—

"Don't show anyone, okay?"

She said, with a smile."

Bond CE text.

It's been fun.

The joke is that by all accounts, the historical Sei lived for people reading her book, yet usually insisted it was only meant to be her own personal diary and not really something for people to read.

Also, I'm feeling really strongly about the two different versions of her NP.

It's been fun.

Well, no luck getting her. That sucks, but there's not much to be done for it.

Murasaki doesn't have a line for Shounagon boooooo

Shounagon's My Room line for Murasaki

Shounagon: Hey, it's Murasaki Shikibu! The Murasaki Shikibu! Don't you think it's fate that we get to meet here? It feels like we've had a touching moment together, so it's not too much of a stretch to call us besties, dontcha think? Eh? The Diary of Lady Murasaki? Hahahaha, that's what you call being a tsundere, Chan-Mas!

Shounagon also has lines for Suzuka Gozen, Emiya, Medb, Raikou, Shuten, Ibaraki, NEET hime, George, Blackbeard, and Europa.

[up]I choose to interpret that as Murasaki giving Sei the cold shoulder.

A small question before trying this game. How much Pay To Win is this game? I'm kind of... idk maybe willing to give it a try but afraid because it's a gacha/gambling game.

I have never spent a single kobo on this horrible gacha and I have like 15 five stars and even more fours. Welfare are also good and the game isn't competitive so it's pretty balanced. Hell there are some five stars that are worst than lower rarity servants

Ah ok thanks for the feedback. Might give it a try as I liked the original Fate Stay Night visual novels a lot.

Regular Lancer Cu is a very good Lancer since he has a three hit Evade with a short CD.

Jason's valentine scene and Arjuna Alter's valentine scenes translated

Arjunya has two different scenes depending on whether you picked the god or human Ascension.
