Biography

Unlock	Description	Translation🛈
Default	謎めいた、暗い色の水着を纏う未亡人。 唇からこぼれる言葉は謎めいて、 冷ややかで、忍び寄る猟奇を予感させる。 この夏の旅路、生き残る者はいるのだろうか――― と、いうのはあくまで装いの印象である。 ライダー紫式部は何らかの事件についての犯人や黒幕という訳ではない。 「艶やかな黒水着の未亡人」 「怪しげなセーラー服少女」 「昭和アイドル風水着の女性」、 この夏の紫式部が選ぶさまざまな姿、 それらのすべては装いだけのこと。 単に彼女は、それらしい姿をしては楽しんでいるのだ。 つまり これは コスプレ！	TL Fan Translation: A mysterious widow clad in a dark-colored swimsuit. The words spilled from her lips are enigmatic, cold, and foreshadow the creeping bizarreness. Will anyone survive this summer journey? ――― In the end, that’s the impression of her outfit. It’s not like Rider Murasaki Shikibu is the culprit or mastermind of any case. “A bewitching widow in a black swimsuit” “A suspicious sailor uniform girl” “A woman with a Showa idol-style swimsuit”, the multiple appearances chosen by Murasaki Shikibu for this summer, all of them are just outfits. Put it simply, she enjoys assuming this kind of appearances. In other words This is Cosplay!
Bond 1	身長／体重：163cm・51kg 出典：史実 地域：日本 属性：中立・善　　性別：女性 地下図書館では「カルデア夏の推薦図書フェア」を 開催中とのこと。	TL Fan Translation: Height/Weight: 163 cm, 51 kg Source: Historical fact Region: Japan Alignment: Neutral Good　　Gender: Female “Chaldea’s Summer Recommended Books Fair” at the secret library is open.
Bond 2	○サマーナイトブラックウィドウ：ＥＸ 第一再臨の姿に大きく関わっているスキル。 夏の夜に怪しく微笑む未亡人、 人呼んでブラックウィドウ！ 推理小説に於ける謎めいた館の女主人、特に「犯人」に類するソレをモチーフにした姿であるのだが、別に何かの事件の犯人という訳ではない。 単にコスプレを楽しんでいるだけである。 ちなみに、紫式部自身はコスプレという意識は 薄いようで、指摘されるとかなり慌てた顔を見せる。	TL Fan Translation: ○ Summer Night Black Widow: EX A skill highly related to the aspect of her first Ascension. A widow that suspiciously smiles at summer nights, AKA a black widow! It’s an appearance with the motif of a mysterious mistress of a mansion that appears in detective novels, specially the one that is similar to “the culprit”, but it’s not like she is the culprit of any case in particular. Put it simply she’s just enjoying her cosplay. Incidentally, Murasaki Shikibu’s awareness of her cosplaying is apparently weak, so she puts a flustered expression when it’s pointed out.
Bond 3	○文学乙女（夏）：Ａ 夏の紫式部は、特に、夏の物語に傾倒している。 ＳＦから時代劇まで一通り、夏に絡んだものならば 多種多様に読んでいる。 夏を舞台とした推理小説やホラー小説なども多く読み込んでおり、結果として、夏の紫式部はトリックやホラーネタに対して敏感に反応することとなった。 映画についても多少理解しているが、 何故か80～90年代ホラー映画に偏っている模様。 （どうやらカルデアで彼女にホラー映画を教え込んだ『教師』がいるらしい） 第三再臨の姿に大きく関わっているスキル。 昔の映画に数多く触れた結果、夏の紫式部は 「なるほどこれが当世の夏の装い……」と、日本の昭和アイドル、特にその夏の装いに興味を抱くに至った。	TL Fan Translation: ○ Literary Maiden (Summer): A Summer Murasaki Shikibu is, in particular, an ardent admirer of summer stories. Everything from sci-fi to historical drama, if it’s connected to summer she is reading a great variety. She reads a lot of detective novels and horror stories set in summer as well, and as a result, summer Murasaki Shikibu reacts susceptibly to tricks or horror material. She more or less understands about films too, but for some reason she tends to be inclined to horror films from the 80~90s. (It seems there was a “Teacher” who taught her about horror films at Chaldea) A skill greatly related to her third Ascension appearance. As a result of having experienced several old films, summer Murasaki Shikibu “I see, this is a modern outfit for summer…” Became interested in Japanese Showa idols, especially in their summer outfits.
Bond 4	○猟奇趣味（夏）：Ｃ＋＋ 第二再臨の姿に大きく関わっているスキル。 推理小説やホラー小説に親しんだ結果、夏の紫式部は 「なるほどこれも当世の夏の装い……」と、特殊な服装趣味を獲得した。 足をくじいた訳ではないのに松葉杖を持ち、 怪我をしている訳でもないのに包帯を持った姿はそのためである。 誰に会っても「怪我したの？」と尋ねられてしまうが、紫式部はそのたびに「いえこれは……」と懇切丁寧に説明をすることになり、最終的には（なるほど、つまりは……コスプレ……？）と相手を納得へ導くのであった。	TL Fan Translation: ○ Bizarre Hobby (Summer): C++ A skill highly related to the appearance of her second Ascension. As a result of having become intimate with detective novels and horror stories, summer Murasaki Shikibu “I see, this is a modern outfit of summer…” acquired a unique preference for uniforms. Her appearance in which she has crutches despite not having sprained her leg, and is bandaged despite not being injured is for that reason. When meeting someone they would ask “Are you hurt?”, but as a result of Murasaki Shikibu carefully explaining “No, this is…” at that point, eventually she leads the other party to an understanding (I see, so in other words it’s… cosplay…?).
Bond 5	『衣通郎姫・蜘蛛行』 ランク：Ｂ　種別：対人宝具 レンジ：１～５０　最大捕捉：１人 そとおりひめ・くものおこない。 想いを込めて詠い上げられる一首。時に和歌三神に数えられることもある衣通郎姫が詠んだ一首を通じ、怪異を一時的に顕現させる、一種の召喚宝具。 我が夫子が　来べき宵なり　ささがねの 蜘蛛のおこなひ　こよひ辞流辞も この歌で綴られる蜘蛛は、本来、 土蜘蛛の怪異とは関係ないはずなのだが…… 真名解放時には、かつて陰陽道の師である安倍晴明が封じた一体の土蜘蛛の亜種がその場に召喚され、突撃を行う。突撃時、紫式部はこの土蜘蛛に騎乗することになるため、霊基がライダーに定められたものと思われる。 対象が、恋や愛を知る存在であればよく効くという。 恋や愛を知らない存在であれば、あまり効かない。	TL Fan Translation: 『Sotoori Hime: Demeanour of the Spider』 Rank: B　Type: Anti-Unit Range: 1~50　Maximum number of targets: 1 person Sotoori Hime • Kumo no Okonai. A tanka that admires with feeling. A kind of Summon Noble Phantasm that temporarily manifests an oddity through a tanka that admires Sotoori-hime, who is sometimes counted among the Three Gods of Japanese Poetry. This is the night　My husband will come　The little crab The action of the spider　Tonight is manifest The spider written about in this poem, originally, should be unrelated to the oddity Tsuchigumo, but…. At the time of its True Name release, one subspecies of Tsuchigumo sealed by her former teacher of Onmyoudou, Abe no Seimei, is summoned at that place, and performs a charging attack. It is thought that, since at the time of the charge, Murasaki Shikibu rides this Tsuchigumo, her Spirit Origin was predestined to become a Rider. It is said it works really well if the target is a being that knows of love or affection. If they are a being that doesn’t know of love or affection, it won’t work much.
Unlock at Bond Level 5
Extra	夏に関連するあらゆる物語を読み込んだ結果、 推理小説やホラー小説、更にはホラー映画にもある程度詳しくなった紫式部である。 夏が終われば、普段の図書館司書然とした紫式部に スッと戻るはずだが…… 案外、気に入っていつまでも着ているかもしれない。 もちろん普段着としてではなく、 地下図書館の奥深く、或いは受付裏のプライベートエリアで、こっそりと着替えて楽しむのである。 もしも偶然目にしたならば、「遠慮せず普段着にしてもいいんだよ」と言ってみよう。 きっと喜ぶはずである。 「遠慮せず人前でコスプレしてもいいんだよ」と言うと、違いますと何故かコスプレであることを否定する紫式部が見られるだろう。	TL Fan Translation: As a result of having read every story related to summer, Murasaki Shikibu has become well-informed in detective novels and horror stories, and moreover in horror films to a certain extent. When summer ends, she should quietly return to the usual librarian Murasaki Shikibu, but… Unexpectedly, she liked it and may wear it indefinitely. Of course not as her usual clothes, But in the interior of the secret library, or in the private area behind the desk, she secretly changes her clothes and enjoys it. If you see her by chance, try saying “You can make them your usual clothes without restraint”. She’ll surely be happy. If you say “You can wear cosplay in front of others without holding back”, you’ll see Murasaki Shikibu denying that it’s cosplay for some reason.
