Let's rush into the thick of summer, Chan-mas! ”

Default	夏は夜。月の頃はさらなり―――だけど、 夏にはまだまだ楽しい事がてんこ盛り！ 海に水着にかき氷、ちょっぴり冒険もしてみたい。 そんな夏の誘惑にかられた平安女子が、また一人。 「ねぇ、ちゃんマス……一緒にワルい事しちゃう？」 そして誕生してしまったのが、 こちらのバーサーカー清少納言でございます。 真面目に過ごしてみても、ちょっと火遊びしてみても、 今年の夏は人生でたった一度きり。 だったら、思いっきりエンジョイしちゃおうぜい！	NA TL NA Localization: "In summer, the nights are most beautiful. Not only when the moon shines..." or so the writing goes, but there are a ton more super fun things to enjoy during the summer! The beach, swimsuits, shaved ice... I might even want to do a little adventuring! ...This is how another girl from the Heian period became entranced by the allure of summer. "Hey Chan-mas...wanna do something we're not supposed to?" And thus Berserker Sei Shounagon was born. Whether one spends their summer earnestly or living a little dangerously, the fact of the matter is that this year's summer happens only once in your life, so you might as well enjoy it to the fullest!!! Fan Translation: In summer the nights. Not only when the moon shines... summer has piles and piles of other things to enjoy! It makes you want to try going to the ocean, wearing a swimsuit, eating some kakigōri, and go on a tiny little adventure. And so, one more Heian girl succumbed to the allures of summer. "Hey, chan-Mas... wanna join my punk gang?" And nothing could be done to prevent the birth of our Berserker Sei Shōnagon. You can choose to spend your time safely or to get a little dangerous, but the fact remains that this year's summer is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. "Meaning we gotta enjoy the party 'til we can take no more!"

You know, in the summer, I'm more of a delinquent than you might expect. Fan Translation: Height/Weight: 157 cm / 46 kg Source: Historical fact Region: Japan Alignment: Chaotic Summer Attribute: Man Gender: Female "HUHU... My summer me is badder than you think."
Bond 2	来たるべき夏に備えての猛特訓と期待感、その他もろも ろの要因が合わさり、本来の霊基から変化した夏限定の バーサーカークラス。 狂化の影響か、アーチャークラス時に時折見せていた文 人としての立ち振る舞いは更になりを潜めており、だい たい三割増しでうるさい。 本人的には何故かバーサーカー＝アウトローと勘違いを している節があり、突然気取った口調で周囲に絡み始め るが、この状態はさほど長続きしない。 おそらく話してる最中に面倒くさくなるのだろう。 なお、カルデア不良組への入門は拒否られた模様。	NA TL NA Localization: Thanks to a confluence of many, many factors, including serious training to prepare for summer and hype to last for days, her Spirit Origin has changed to a Berserker class, though only for the summer. Perhaps thanks to her Madness Enhancement, the literary aspects she showed as an Archer have faded even farther into the background, leaving her roughly thirty percent more boisterous than usual. For some reason, she equates being a Berserker with being an outlaw, which leads her to stick her nose into other people's affairs, but this probably won't last long. She's likely to get bored before she even hears the whole story she inquires about. She attempted to join Chaldea's resident delinquent gang, but it seems she was summarily rejected. Fan Translation: Due to a multitude of combined reasons, including the feeling of expectation and extra hard training in preparation for the inevitable summer, she changed from her original Saint Graph into a Summer-exclusive Berserker Class. Most likely due to the effects of Mad Enhancement, her occasional moments of acting like a poet in the Archer Class become even less frequent, and she became about 30% more annoying. She shows signs that she's misinterpreting her Class for whatever reason (in her head, Berserker = outlaw) and makes her first impressions on the people around her by randomly playing the part, but this condition doesn't last long. She most likely gets fed up with her character partway through the conversation. Side note: All suggests that her admission in the Chaldea delinquent group was rejected.
Bond 3	街中をスケートボードで駆け抜け、戦闘時にはハンマーやスプレーを用いた殴打、体当たり、ビームなど何でもアリだが容赦はナシの残虐ファイトを得意とする。 いいだろバーサーカーだぜ。 なお、カラースプレーには時間経過で消える特殊な塗料 が使用されており、これを用いてどれほどの怪作や名文 を生み出したとしても、後に残る事は一切ない。 変な所で律儀なバーサーカーである。 たまに子供達と廊下に落書きをしては、エミヤに追われ る姿が目撃されている。 これらの武器には別宇宙の技術が使われているとの噂が あるとかないとか……。	NA TL NA Localization: Sei Shounagon cruises around town on her skateboard. In battle, she favors a cruel and barbaric combat style where anything goes: giant hammers, spray paint, body slams, lasers, you name it. Hey, what's wrong with that? I'm a Berserker now, baby. Her spray can uses a special kind of paint that disappears after a while, so no matter how brilliant her writing with it may be, it simply will not last. For a Berserker, she can be surprisingly conscientious. At times, she's been seen graffitiing Chaldea's walls along with the child Servants...at least until Emiya catches them. Rumor has it that her weapons may or may not employ technology from a whole other universe... Fan Translation: She specializes in riding her skateboard all over town and fighting barbarously by smacking people with her hammer and spray can, tackling, shooting beams, etc. Everything is allowed in her fighting style, except mercy. "You can't tell a Berserker what to do." Note that her spraypaint is made out of a special material that disappears with time. No matter how dubious or masterful her writing is, nothing will be left behind of it. This Berserker is upstanding to the law in the weirdest places. She's often witnessed getting chased by Emiya after scribbling on the walls with the kids. Rumors say that these weapons may or may not use technology from another universe...
Bond 4	○サマー・ストリート！：Ａ 思いつきで巨匠ゴッホの元で修行をするが、自分には絵 の才能はないと思い知らされるだけであった。 だが目覚めたビビッドな色彩感覚は彼女の綴る文字に新 たな息吹を与え、目にした者の心を捕らえてしまう。 ○ナイトプール・スライダー：Ａ スピードがもたらすスリル。その興奮を知ってしまった 彼女は、もう平凡な日常には戻れない。 夜の闇さえはねのけた、煌めくステージがそこにある。 飛び込んで行こうぜ、キラキラの向こう側へ……！ ○アテナル・サマースイーツ：Ａ 削り氷にあまづら入れて……ですっかりお馴染みの、 あてなるもの（上品なもの）。日本最古のかき氷。 現代では製造方法さえ失われた、幻のシロップ。 だが……今年の夏はこれが流行る！　みんな急げ！	NA TL NA Localization: Summer Street!: A Sei Shounagon once tried studying painting under Van Gogh, but the only thing she learned was that she had no talent for such things. Still, the experience gave her a newfound appreciation for vivid colors, which she uses to eyecatching effect in her graffiti tags. Night Pool Slider: A There is a special thrill only experienced when moving at breakneck speed. Now that she's discovered it, she can never go back to the life she knew before. There's a bright, shiny stage that can even disperse the darkness of night. Now come on. Let's jump in and see what's on the other side! Dependable Summer Sweet: A Shaved ice with amazura, a sweet syrup made by boiling down ivy plant sap? Now that's what I call a dependable (and classy) summer sweet throwback. In fact, this is the oldest known style of shaved ice in Japanese history. The recipe for amazura was thought to have been lost well before modern times, but this summer, it's making a comeback! Come on, guys! That shaved ice isn't gonna eat itself! Fan Translation: •Summer Street!: A She had the great idea of studying the arts under the mentorship of the ace van Gogh, but the only thing she really learned is that she has no talent for painting. But now that her vivid sense of color is awakened, she breathes new life into her poetry, stealing the hearts of those who come across them. •Nightpool Slider: A Speed brings thrills. Now that she experienced this excitement, she can't go back to her ordinary life. She found a radiant performance stage that can brush aside the darkest night. "Let's take the dive, headfirst into the sparkling lights." •List of Elegant Summer Sweets: A Shaved ice mixed with liana syrup*...* Hey, those words were taken straight out of Sei Shōnagon's classic List of Elegant Things. Japan's first kakigōri, with a legendary syrup lost to time. Its manufacturing process is unknown to the modern era. But... it became a trend this summer! Hurry or you'll miss it!

The more novel an experience, the better to enjoy the summer heat! This Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of Sei Shounagon the author's stance on summer. Sei Shounagon takes all of the energy generated by the source of a Reality Marble, her imagination—that is, her Emotional Engine—and transforms it into propellant for her skateboard, which she then uses to blast her way down the street. The vivid, colorful words she spray paints whilst riding her skateboard pierce both her opponent's body and heart with their sheer emotionality. Fan Translation: Emotional Engine - Vivid Full Sensation (Summer is of unfathomable swelter) Rank: D++ Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm Range: 1-50 Max. Targets: 1 person A Noble Phantasm shaped by a policy of the writer Sei Shōnagon: "A summer hotter than what anyone has ever experienced would be splendid!" Emotional Engine is the imagination that fuels her Reality Marble. In a bold move, she converts all of the energy generated from it into propulsive power to dash through the streets on her skateboard. The gaudy letters she writes with her spray cause the enemy's mind and body to be pierced by the emotion.
Clear Chaldea Summer Adventure & Reach Bond 5
Extra	平安期の女流作家が夏の誘惑に全力で乗っかり、水着に 着替えた結果爆誕してしまったバーサーカー清少納言。 なんかもう色々と文字面がすごい。 生前にはついぞ体験し得なかった開放感と、「ひと夏の 冒険」という格好の題材に揺さぶられる好奇心。 仲間達と共に大いに浮かれ、はしゃぎ、駆け回る…… そんな彼女の姿は、まるで肉体のみならず、精神性まで 少女に戻ってしまったかのようだ。 あるいは――― はしゃぎすぎて椅子を壊し、溢れるほどの花で着飾った 牛車を走らせていた、あの華やかなりし定子サロンの時 代から、彼女は何も変わっていないのかもしれない。 キラキラと夏に輝く彼女の姿に、懐かしい日々を思い描 いて、どこかであの方も笑ってくれるだろうか。 いとをかし、と。	NA TL NA Localization: Berserker Sei Shounagon was born when the Heian writer gave herself over fully to summer's temptations and practically jumped into a swimsuit. In this form, she really lets her literary side run rampant. As a Berserker, she has achieved a sense of freedom she never got to experience while alive, and is intensely interested in pursuing the theme of summer adventures. Alongside her companions, she frolics, laughs, and generally acts like she's having the time of her life. It's almost as though she's reverted to her younger self not only in body, but in spirit as well. Then again, seeing how she once played so hard she destroyed a chair, and how she once drove an ox cart full to bursting with flowers, maybe she hasn't actually changed at all from her days at the bright and beautiful Lady Teishi's salon. Perhaps, even now, Lady Teishi is looking down at Sei Shounagon's dazzling summer form and smiling in fond remembrance. Fan Translation: A Heian period lady writer rode full speed into the allure of summer and changed into a swimsuit, causing the Berserker Sei Shōnagon to burst into the scene. That was one hell of a sentence. She was shaking with curiosity about this sense of freedom she never had the chance to experience in her lifetime and the cool theme of a summer adventure. When she's partying, frolicking, and bustling about immensely with a crew of companions, it looks almost like this form also regressed her mind to her teenage years, not only her body. Or maybe... That's exactly how she was during her times in the gorgeous Teishi Salon, back when she destroyed chairs with her games and made a carriage covered in flowers run around the city. Seeing her sparkling summer form, so reminiscent of their fondly remembered days together, would surely bring a smile to her lady's face. "How beautiful it would be."
April Fool	パリピサーヴァント なつのしゅうせいでかんぜんにじょうきをいっしてしまったなぎこさん。ちゅうやとわずとてもうるさい。やっぱりパリピってバーサーカーだったんだなって。でもゴミはちゃんともってかえってくれそう。	Party People-Type Servant The summer spell has caused Nagiko to go completely nuts. She's loud and boisterous any given time of day, and it proves that party people really are Berserkers...though it seems she has the decency to pick up her own trash and dispose of it at her house.
