You know how normally, Servants are summoned to fight for a Holy Grail, which has the power to grant wishes? This time, Holy Grails in various points in time to distort history and the foundation of humanity.
[What's a better way to explain this?]
A better way to say this is...hmm, give me an example of a significant historical event in Remnant.
Hm... Then. . . when the Atlas Kingdom unveiled the Cross Continental System and gave the entire world a means to communicate with one another no matter where they were.
If a Holy Grail were to be left in that point in time, the Cross Continental System would not have been finished, or would not have been built at all. Some important figures during that time may also be...er, corrupted, for lack of a better term, or manipulated in some way to alter the course of history.
And that, as you can imagine, would have a catastrophic effect on the present and future.
Yes. [He nods.] It will be as if the Holy Grail never materialized in that part of history. But sometimes, traces of the Grail's power linger, and we have to return to clean up what is left.
Cleaning up, more often than not, involves fighting monsters that have no place in history.
[It's already complicated for him and HE'S part of the effort to clean up this mess. He smiles at her; there are things even he still can't quite understand, but he'll do his best to tell her as much as he can about Chaldea.
And all the crazy people and Servants involved with it.]
Absolutely. But in return, I'd like to know more about Remnant. It sounds like a very fascinating world, notwithstanding its dangers.
[His world was dangerous too, what with demon gods and rogue Servants causing chaos. And the Holy Grails.]

Then what happens if the Holy Grail isn't there anymore?

[ It's still not something she fully understands, because it sounds a little too complicated for a conversation over tea, but!! ]
Tell me more about it when I'm back? I want to understand where you're from, what you're fighting for.
[ And in turn, get to know him better. ]
