The movements of various factions are stirring, and the story will begin with a thunderous roar...
In the clouds of Japan, towering mountains rise, resembling an ocean floating in the sky.
At the heart of these mountains, the "Demon King" Shōtōn Tōji, who claims to be the lord of Daijō Mountain, is elegantly drinking when she suddenly senses a disturbance in the sky. With a slight wiggle of her delicate, pale feet, her interest piques.
Drops of fine wine glisten on her smooth skin, but she seems unconcerned, teasingly addressing her companion beside her.
"What a commotion! What new technology have humans come up with now?"
"Ibaraki, what's it called again…?"
"Holographic projection?"
Next to her, the busty Ibaraki Tōji scratches her head, somewhat unsure.
Shōtōn Tōji cheerfully pats her friend's shoulder, glancing at the sky with a beautiful smile full of anticipation.
"Truly, being a privileged race allows them to conjure up something wonderful whenever we're bored."
"Let's watch quietly."

In Suō Town, Kobe, inside a solemn shrine adorned with carved Paulownia flowers, an ancient divine blade named "Sōu Rainmaru," which has selflessly guarded this land for centuries, begins to vibrate wildly on the stone altar as if sensing impending danger. The blade quivers, instinctively preparing to fly away.
A wisp of blue smoke rises from the blade, transforming into a green-haired girl in a kimono.
She attempts to adopt a stern expression, surveying her surroundings and then shouts imperiously.
"What vile spirit dares to be impudent before me?"
Silence fills the shrine.
After a moment, the ghostly girl relaxes as she realizes the disturbance is coming from the sky.
As the caretaker of Sōu Rainmaru, it's the first time she feels her life threatened—previously, she was the one smashing the heads of those vile spirits.
How terrifying!
But…
"What on earth is that?"
She gazes at the canopy covering the world, falling into unprecedented confusion.

In the ancient and solemn Miyasui Shrine of Gifu Prefecture, a girl in a sailor suit stares blankly at the heavens.
Has the outside world developed to such an extent?
---
At Wuzuki Academy.
"Hideyoshi, get out of the Hideyoshi bath, something big has happened!"
Accompanied by a flamboyant exclamation, a stunning "girl" steps out of the bathroom, bewildered.
---
"Is this a sign that I'm about to be transported to another world and become a winner in life?!"
On a country road, Sato Kazuma, a "NEET," exclaims in surprise.
---
Similar scenes play out across the land.
Some are worried, others frightened, some confused, and many indifferent…
Even the lower-tier office workers are excited, raising their arms in fervor, calling for the alien overlords to come and destroy the world!
Regardless, this shocking spectacle has already been etched into the hearts of countless people.
Amid the myriad expressions of humanity, the brilliance of the canopy shifts, revealing dark lines of text that articulate the current state of affairs.
[In this vast world, there is nothing strange; do you sometimes wonder if there is another you out there, living a life completely different from yours, one so exciting that it makes you envious?]
[How can the same person have completely opposite moral standards?]
[If history encounters a turning point, will those historical figures still exist?]
[We will now reveal classic events that have occurred in parallel worlds.]
[Fate/staynight, play!]

At the Private Toyonozaki Academy, a certain blonde girl with twin tails stares in shock at the canopy, where two options suddenly appear before her.
—[Normal Mode]!
—[Sensory Mode]!
What the heck is this?!
Eriri Sawamura feels a bit tense.
She was just curious enough to glance at the canopy, and now this is happening.
The canopy seems not to interfere with her choices; as long as she looks down, the options will disappear.
But she's really curious now!
Are the stories from parallel worlds real?
And Fate/staynight—Isn't that the PV from the Observer Network?
Is everything going on a product of a great figure's black technology, or is it an alien invasion?
Maybe she should take a look…
Everyone else is watching, so it should be fine!
Normal Mode—by its name, it should be a standard viewing mode?
But what's Sensory Mode?
Could it be a mode with a stronger immersive experience?
"How about Sensory Mode then?"
Eriri Sawamura hesitates, but her curiosity quickly overrides her rationality.
In the instant she chooses [Sensory Mode], the massive canopy seems to turn into a black hole.
A terrifying gravitational pull rises above her body, as if it wants to suck her soul away, and the girl panics.
No…
It's not an illusion.
Eriri Sawamura gazes in shock at her own body below, feeling incredibly light.
My soul has really been sucked away!
She feels dazed and then, with a flash of darkness, loses consciousness.

"The young lady has arrived; everyone, step aside!"
"Can we still return to Earth?"
"The feeling of floating lightly, soaring into the sky… it's so strange now."
"Xiaoyuan, where are you?"
"Is this the trap of the Holy Purifier? The Evil King's True Eye will never yield!"
"I'm so curious~."
"What a coincidence, Shikishima is also here?"
"Eh, it's you from Wolf Valley!"
...
The cacophony of voices echoed in her ears.
Eriri Sawamura awakened, panicking as she realized she had entered a pitch-black world.
She had become an intangible observer, like a ghost.
Around her were countless others in the same spectral state.
Here, she also spotted a familiar woman… Kasumigaoka Utaha!
And the black-haired, flat-chested heroic spirit she had seen in the Fate/stay night promotional video, wielding dual blades. However, this version felt less resolute than in the video.
Could this be her counterpart in this world?
Was the figure from the Fate film a version of her from a parallel universe?
Were they all participants in some sort of sensory mode?
The girl frantically pondered while cautiously observing her surroundings.
There were at least hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people nearby…
From a red-haired loli chewing on a lollipop, to sharp-eyed male high schoolers, an art girl holding a sketchpad, and a scruffy uncle in police uniform… it seemed like anyone could be here.
Amidst the chaos, she noticed a delicate red button in her hand.
[Exit Button].
The moment she saw it, Erirk Sawamura was astonished to realize she understood the purpose of this item.
At the same time, she could sense her physical condition in the real world.
What kind of genius could create something like a sensory mode?
So impressive…!
Before she could explore further, the dark environment suddenly warped.
Before her astonished eyes, a vibrant world emerged.
She found herself in Fuyuki City, at Suigun High School, surrounded by students laughing and playing. The air was fragrant with flowers as the breeze flowed by, and the scene felt incredibly real.
Eriri Sawamura stole a glance around, noticing that the other "ghosts" were equally astonished.
"Eriri Sawamura, you're not as cowardly as I thought."
A teasing voice came from behind her.
The blonde girl turned around to find Kasumigaoka Utaha smirking at her.
"Of course, I'm definitely braver than you!"
Eriri Sawamura retorted, cheeks puffed in indignation.
"Is that so?"
Utaha raised an eyebrow, then looked at the blonde girl with a hint of pity.
As she breathed steadily, her chest rose and fell slightly.
"...Kasumigaoka Utaha, don't get too smug! I'll definitely surpass you in the future!"
Eriri Sawamura fumed, her frustration palpable.
But even as her breathing quickened with anger, her meager chest showed no signs of movement.
The two rivals had launched into yet another round of banter.
Today, Eriri Sawamura faced a great defeat.
*TL/N - I changed the name 'Ying lili' into 'Erina Sakamura' because it seems to be the correct translation.
