why would you not level your 5 stars first
then work your way down the rarity scale
:blobthonk:

Opens with end of today's simulator training with Tomoe and the childservant gang. Tomoe has gone pretty maximum mom mode with reminding the kids to wash their hands and gargle before heading to the cafeteria for snacks.

Mash wanders off after Guda makes a casual dinner date with her. Tomoe goes into super awkward cute mode trying to suss out if Guda has a special someone back home, and then more awkward as she asks if he has any kids. (Way to make this interlude seem like it's going a completely different direction than it ends up...Guda doesn't get any type of flirtatious or blush-inducing answer choices here.)

Guda eventually notes that Tomoe hasn't really ever talked about her family, as she seems to want to talk to another parent. (Oh, is that what that was all about? Yeah, sure.)

So off they go back into the simulator to have a firelight chat (Guda notes that the control room is still watching anyway...)

Tomoe talks about her past, and how she was raised with Yoshinaka in Yoshinaka's family. She talks about how Yoshinaka was the only one who didn't change how he treater her even after her Oni characteristics started to appear. In a flashback, she is seen lacking some confidence as being merely one of his wives as all she is able to do is fight. As she wondered if she was being useful as a wife, the other wives (Yamabuki Gozen in particular) tell her she is wrong.

She is the only one who can follow Yoshinaka into battle and is always present at his side, which is not something the rest of them can do, so they tell her she is a valuable presence.

She mentions that Yoshinaka sent her away at the final battle, so she could not be his shield, but she realizes that he sent her away to preserve their child. She also realizes that after raising the child and gradually losing her oni characteristics, that Yoshinaka saved both of them as she would have died or killed herself along with the unborn child fighting to her last with Yoshinaka. She realizes that he not only saved her from dying in battle this way, but also from losing herself completely to her Oni nature.

So she has no regrets about what happened in the past after realizing this and seems to have come out of her 'I am a dead person. Nothing now matters' mood that she used to have. She says that now she thinks it's fine to make the best of her new 'life' and support and protect Guda as her new lord. She wishes that Guda could meet her family someday, as she thinks they would be welcomed like a sibling. (Siblingzoned!) However, she does see Guda as someone with the same kind of spirit that she saw in Yoshinaka.

Napoleon, Tesla, Skadi, and Arash are training in the simulator, Tesla and Skadi get into a discussion about divinity which might be a bit tense but Napoleon defuses it (Tesla respects Skadi personally but isn't a fan of gods, in general). But Skadi seems to avoid Napoleon for some reason so he sets out to find out why.

Your version of Napoleon is a normal Servant who has nothing to do with his LB version and doesn't have the memories, Holmes told him he was in the LB but he's avoided looking at the records because he considers each instance of himself a separate being, a man who "burns up his own existence and doesn't think about later". However, after noticing Skadi's discomfort he asks Guda to tell him what happened so he can help her.

So you do, and he confronts Skadi and tells her to be honest with her feelings and punch him if she resents him for what his other self did, she says she's more angry at herself for being powerless and unable to resolve her feelings. Eventually, it's resolved by having her talk about her memories, not just of Ophelia but the humans, Valkyries, etc. of her LB, you spend the entire night around a campfire listening to her so she can get it off her chest, and also because while her LB and everyone in it is gone, talking about them means someone else would remember them as she did.

TBF
thats kinda napoleons character so im not surprised
ideal shoujo love interest there to enable all the whamens wet dreams

would make sense to have his interlude revolve around someone else to give them character
hes actually just
iskander but better in terms of idealogy really
and he also has the extra appeal/swag of being super anti divine which gets you big chad energy in nasuverse

gonna read tomoes lude later

That leaves Orpheus for SR Assassin and Europa for R Rider.

That makes no sense. None of the featured 5 LB Servants were already in the game. Leaning towards this leak being bull.
