Well, today I bring you a headcanon explanation of a situation in this universe, as always canonicity is up to HL
-------------------------------------
November 2001
Cafeteria, Tokyo
A man near his thirties was sitting in the outside of the cafeteria waiting for his friend.
He came in advance as he liked to ponder about the thing he will discuss with him, so as he waited he recalled how good the past year was for them, he didn't believe how popular their published novel became, so much that they published some short stories in January and a sequel three months ago, and they were working on the release of a fighting game based on it; but what he want to discuss with his friend was the next project, a novel about heroes brought from the past to fight between them, showing the hard road the main character had to travel. While he wrote the novel, his friend apported the illustrations, sometimes basing them in real people, like that greek mountain of muscles or the pair of greek ladies, he wanted to change some things about the novel, but he wanted to consult with his friend.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the woman approaching him.
"Excuse me." said the woman in japanese with an english accent. "I know it may sound disrespectful, but may I sit here while I'm waiting for my sister? there aren't any other seat available."
Snapping out his train thought, he surveilled the terrace and saw that effectively there weren't any free seats, with that he said to the woman. "Sure, I am waiting for a friend too so until he comes I don't mind."
"Thank you very much." said the woman bowing. "It is my first time in Japan and I wasn't sure if it was allowed or not."
Laughing internally, the man said "It sounded like you read about Japan two hundred years ago, we aren't like that for the most time."
Blushing a bit, the woman said. "Sorry about that but I really meant it, ah yes." she remembered something. "Where are my manners, I haven't presented myself, My name is Lib Draig, or how the japanese names are constructed, Draig Lib." she bowed. "It is a pleasure to meet you."
Getting up from the chair he bowed too "The pleasure is mine Draig-San, my name is Nasu Kinoko, please sit down."
As they sat, he looked at the woman in front of him.
She was of petite build, green eyes and blonde hair with a rebel lock at the top of her head, her hair collected in a circular braid at her head's back, a blue scarf around her neck and a white coat protecting her from the cold winter, a blue skirt with black leggings accompained by brown boots.
As they chatted a bit, suddenly Nasu thought of something.
"If it is not prying much, as you are from Great Britain, how much do you know about King Arthur's leyends?" asked Nasu.
Narrowing her eyes, she asked "I know a bit, why do you ask?" in a tone that gave a warning.
Confusing her gesture for rudeness in his question, he said. "Sorry if I was rude, I am writing a novel that involves him, so I wanted to know another side apart for what I know." and he explained a bit about his project.
After hearing the explanation, she relaxed "It is a wise choice to ask about him if this is your motive. I approve." suddenly she thought of something. "In fact, I am an expert in King Arthur's life, so I can tell you lot's of facts about him."
"Oh? That would help me a lot to fill his backstory, thanks for the offering I am in your debt." he said with sincere tone.
If there where any doubt lingering, his tone cleared him from suspicions about second intentions to Draig.
An orange haired girl with yellow eyes waitress approached their table "Here are your orders, anything else?." at their negative, the maid bowed to them and went to attend other tables.
Not saying anything, Nasu was surprised at the amount of food she ordered, removing her scarf, he caught sight of a pendant in form of a sword she wore 'Nice sword.' he thought.
As they eated, she explained a bit of what she knew of the story of King Arthur, surprising Nasu more and more.
After Draig finished, Nasu wondered. "So for what you explained, their life was a lot different from what the books say."
Draig nodded."And you don't know half of it."
Nasu pondered a bit and then an idea came to him."So we can say that he strived to be the perfect king, but failed."
"We can say that, indeed." she said as she removed.
"I now have an idea how to portrait him better, thanks." Nasu sincerely said.
"And I am glad that I could help you, and just in time, here comes my sister." said Draig looking at her right side.
Glancing to that side he could see a girl almost identical to the one sitting in front of her, but her hair was collected in a tail with a black ribbon, she wore a white skirt and coat and in her neck was a pendant that resembled a sheath; she was talking to the man Nasu was waiting for as they approached.
"Sorry Kinoko for being late." said the man "But I found this girl and asked me for directions, and as we needed to go to the same place we chatted and lost a bit of time."
"Don't worry Takeuchi, thanks to her sister I found some inspiration to finish the current proyect."
Rising from her chair, Lib bowed to Takeuchi. "Thanks for guiding my sister Val to our meeting, she often get lost."
"I didn't get lost!" said Val with a pout "I only took a wrong turn."
Sighing, Lib said "I'm not discussing this again." turning to the two men she said. "I know it can be a bit disrespectful, but can I shake your hands? To say goodbye the same way as in England."
Pondering a bit, they didn't have any objections so they did so, but when they were doing it an image popped up in their heads.
Spoiler: Lib's image
That image transmitted a sense of peace and resolution, it persisted in their heads even after the shake ended and when they looked at Lib she gave them a knowing smirk.
"Oh! I have to thank you too!" said Val with enthusiasm, showing her eagerness to be like her sister.
And when Val shook their hands they saw another image clearly different to the other one.
Spoiler: Val's image
This one transmitted a feeling of opposites, and a bit of... conclusion?, they didn't saw the image too long so they didn't know what to think about them. Val retreated from them and didn't show signs of knowing that her contact showed them a glimpse of the future; Lib thought they were still shocked because the image she showed them in gratitude.
They stood there as Lib paid her bill and said "It was a pleasure trading ideas with you, I wish you success with your novel and I'll be waiting to read it when it gets published." they bowed and left to do their errands.
"Thanks for eating at Ahnenerbe." said the orange haired waitress with a smile "We will welcome you again next time you come."
A bit of time passed as the men processed what happened.
"You know" began to say Nasu "I will accept your idea of changing the main characters' gender, and I will add a new arc where the Servant turns evil."
"Okay," said Takeuchi "And I have the model for the Servant, so she will be Arturia Pendragon?"
"You have read my thoughts, my friend."
