Hibiki Hibino (日比乃ひびき, Hibino Hibiki?) is a student attending Kagamisaki High School in Mahou Tsukai no Hako. She is the Holy Scripture Triten (聖典トライテン, Seiten Toraiten?) of Caubac Alcatraz. She is one of the mascots of the now defunct TYPE-MOON mobile site with Chikagi Katsuragi.
Profile[]
Background[]
Hibiki's most notable family member is her grandfather.
As Triten, she was completed around the year 1000 as Caubac’s thesis on God’s love. By complete accident, she wound up being a model of the universe, and Caubac created his inescapable labyrinth just to protect her. One day, she inexplicably disappeared and reappeared in the outside world in the form of a human, Hibiki, which caused her creator to undergo a crisis of faith.[1]
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Role[]
Carnival Phantasm[]
Ciel, Kirei Kotomine, Taiga Fujimura, Shiki Ryougi, Chikagi Katsuragi and Hibiki Hibino in Carnival Phantasm.
Hibiki makes a cameo appearance in the final episode helping at Ahnenerbe, and is seen at the party at the end.[2]
The 2013 Hibichika Special of Carnival Phantasm has a large majority of the episode revolving around Hibiki and her partner, Chikagi Katsuragi during their workdays at Ahnenerbe. She acts very friendly to the people around her, and is the only person Chikagi does not show hostility towards. She is a fan of the Afterschool Alleyway Alliance as well, though much to Satsuki Yumizuka's displeasure, when she tries to remember their name she gets it horribly wrong.
Other appearances[]
In Fate/strange Fake, Francesca Prelati has a need for the Grail, apparently needing something on the level of the Grail to both find and deal with a particular "Great Labyrinth" whose entrance is even risky to look for,[3] so that she may capture "the microcosm of the world" within.[4]
Abilities[]
Hibiki is stronger than normal humans as such with being the Holy Scripture Triten. While taking the form of Triten, she is capable of flight, levitation, creating energy barriers of light, manifesting energy attacks, and much more.
Triten was created by Caubac as a replica of all three components of a human being (mind, body, and soul) in text form, and by accident ended up being a model of the universe.[1]

Overview
Ranked 27 among the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors.
His Idea Blood is a "failed product" or perhaps simply "unneeded".
A vampire who was a believer to the church before turning Dead Apostle.
The Crimson Moon made him lose heart shortly before the transition to AD, but the Crimson Moon also saw potential in him and gave him his pure blood, turning him into an Ancestor.
Since then, he has been holed up in an underground cavern lamenting his vampiric transformation, since he was too ashamed to go see his pious companions, not to mention they would kill him on the spot if they saw what he turned into.
Later a lot happened, leading him to build the great labyrinth of Alcatraz.
Somewhen around the year 1000AD, he completed the Triten scripture.
No one saw him ever since.
The Holy Church and the vampire society believe that he built his castle to protect his written truth, the Triten scripture, and when he got that done, a random dimensional distortion turned the castle into some amazing labyrinth not even he can escape.
He turned himself into an inorganic object out of hatred for his body's need to suck blood to extend his life.
He takes the appearance of an ordinary padlock.
In Mahou Tsukai no Hako, it was established that Hibiki is an artificial lifeform (the Triten) who turned human and got lost among the people there.
« Our world was created by the Lord, and its surface is covered in His love. The way humans go hog wild over food and whatnot is also because of Lord's love. The Lord's love is like, super immeasurable to human beings. »
Under the thoughts quoted above, he comprehended the Lord's love and wrote it down. That's what the Triten scripture is.
The punchline here is there on proofread, he realized that he made a model of the universe.
He obviously wasn't trying to create a model of the universe, but that was the final result of what he tried to make.
By reaching the conclusion that the universe is direct proof of the Lord's love, Caubac established he was right and built his labyrinth in order to hide his super ultra awesome treasure literally anyone would desire.
By the way, the labyrinth was made using the same techniques used to make Triten. For that reason, it's constantly expanding at the same speed that the universe expands. Super inescapable.
Now, the following section is about progress caused by the events of Mahou Tsukai no Hako:
Caubac had complete faith in Triten, but he took his eyes away for one moment and Triten disappeared from its storage and went to be human in some Japanese café.
Triten was supposed to be his proof, Triten = the Lord's love, and yet the result of its evolution was a human being!
No true Catholics would see God inside themselves.
Caubac shat himself from shock when he learned about Hibiki.
"In my attempts to prove God is real, I proved that He isn't."
※Addendum:
The following thoughts are the reasons why he considers Triten a mistake:
- We must not see God in ourselves.
- We must not pray for our own benefit. (Prayers are for the Lord's benefit. It's wrong to pray out of desire for salvation. You pray only for the Lord. Caubac's mindset is the same as Caren's.)
- The Lord's love is absolute and must never be questioned. Therefore we must not wish for the Lord to exist in any form different from the forms described in the scriptures.
God's Love = the world.
The fact that we're alive is a manifestation of His love and no matter how much suffering there is in the world, it's all part of grand system of God's deeds (love).
The world is a product of the Lord's thoughts.
Upon closer inspection of the components of the human being (body, mind, and soul), Caubac had the idea that he could prove the Lord's love by replicating all these components in text form.
He then started building his model from all possible accounts, probed into His whole Creation, gave it shape, and ended up with a model of the universe. (He didn't notice it was a model of the universe until it was complete)
And the fact that this universe was functional (even if there was no life in it) was all he needed to go ultra-convinced on his assumption that the Lord's love was real and that it approved his project.
Caubac built his labyrinth to protect this treasure. (Not because he was afraid of it being misused, simply because he was afraid of it being stolen from him)
He believed Triten was the only thing he needed in the whole wide world.
To be fair, that practically completed his purpose as a Dead Apostle as well, leaving him in a complete NEET state. He was right about Triten being the only thing he ever needed.
But imagine the panic when he found out Triten was operating as a human being.
It's the level of shock you get when your computer gets infected by a virus from a porn site.
He made a perfect image of God, and then it turned human.
Would that mean God is human?
That God is made from humans?
God eventually becomes human?
None of these options were possible. There is no God in humans.
But Triten became human.
The conclusion here is that human beings were all there was to the universe.
= God doesn't exist.
After approaching this line of argument, Caubac practically stopped thinking.
His strong will and proneness to delusion kept him on his feet, although in an unmoving state.
« One more time. I need to see Triten one more time. I could have just made a mistake somewhere along the way. Or maybe Triten really is... No, forget that thought. »
※Completing his "Or maybe Triten really is..." sentence:
And so he started looking for Hibiki. That's the whole backstory for Mahou Tsukai no Hako.
« Triten was a model for the universe with no life in it. (The word "life" here refers specifically to intelligent lifeforms capable of self-evolution.)
But in the process of its expansion, the universe birthed lifeforms.
That is God's true deed.
If Triten, an in-depth inspection of the Lord's love, birthed a human being, that's evidence pointing to the thought that the world is made from the Lord's love.
I knew I was right!
But... the problem is that by creating Triten, I kinda violated the creed that we mustn't create God. Actually, if a human can create God, then... »
He got lost in this labyrinth of thought.
All that said, even if Hibiki is indeed Triten (God), Caubac would deny the notion on the logic that "God is an omnipresent essence, not something with a physical presence".
« God's love exists.
But it can't take a human form.
It can't take a form humans can comprehend.
He can't be alive. »
Above is an example of cool speech he would to reject Hibiki's nature or pretend he never saw it.
...This is the story of how he ruined his own beliefs and came out of his 2000-year-long battle in total denial, but even after all this, he still prioritized the ideal form of God's love over his own happiness and salvation.コーバック・アルカトラス
死徒二十七祖、序列の二七。
原理血戒は「失敗作」あるいは「余り物」。
「死徒になる前から教会の教徒」だった吸血鬼。
西暦に切り替わるちょっと前に朱い月に撓み、見所があったために純血を与えられ、祖にされた。
それ以降は吸血鬼になってしまった自分の身を嘆きつつ、かつての仲間たち（信者たち）に合わせる顔がない、 そもそも会ったら殺してしまう、という事で地下洞窟に引きこもった。
それが色々あって一大迷宮・アルカトラスを作る事になる。
西暦１０００年ぐらいのタイミングで聖典トライテンを完成させる。
その後、彼の姿を見たものはいない。
聖堂教会、および吸血鬼社会において、コーバックは「自らが書き上げた真理の書・聖典トライテンを守るため に居城を改築していったら、いつのまにか次元のゆがんだ大迷宮になってしまい、本人さえ出られなくなった」 とされている。
本人は人の血を吸うことでしか延命できない自分の体を嫌い、無機物に変化したとされている。
その姿は「錠前」そのものだとか。
↓
「魔法使いの箱」において、ひびきは人工生命（トライテン）が人間になって紛れ込んだもの、という設定が加 わった。
「この世は主が創造したもの、地下は主の愛で包まれている。人間が暴徒化してヒャッハー食料だー、とかやる のも神の愛。神の愛のカタチとかマジ人間には計り知れない」という思想のもと、主の愛を理解し書き留めたも のが聖典トライテンである。
突き詰めてみたら宇宙のモデルケースになっていた、というオチ。
無論、本人に宇宙のモデルケースなんて作る気はなかったが、作ってみたらこうなった。
「主の愛の存在証明」＝「宇宙」という結論に達したことでコーバックは自分の正しさを認識し、同時に、この 誰もが欲しがってやまないであろう超絶カッチョイイお宝を隠れそう、と迷宮を作り上げた。
だから宇宙の速度で増築されていく。まじ脱出不可能。
ここから魔法使いの箱から進化。トライテンに絶対の自信を持つコーバックだが、ちょっと目を離しているうち にトライテンが保管庫から消失し、日本の喫茶店でなんか人間になってしまっていた。
トライテン＝主の愛、証明であるのに、そのトライテンは進化結果として人間になりやがったので ある！
「己の中に神を見てはならない」のがカトリック。
そんなコーバックがひびきの事を知ったらもう脱糞もののショックなワケ。
自分は神を証明するつもりで、神がいないことを証明してしまった、 と。
ーーー
※補足
トライテンの言う「私は間違っていた」の理由として、「自分の中に神を見てはならない」「自分のために祈っ てはならない」（祈りは主のために。救いをもとめて主に祈る、はダメなのです。あくまで主のために祈るので す。カレンと同じ境地）「主の愛を絶対とし、疑わない。なので教典にある以外の主のカタチを願ってはいけな い」という考えがある。
神の愛＝この世界。
僕らの生きているのは神さまの愛の具現であり、世界にはどのような苦しみが満ちていようと、それもまた大い なる神の御業（愛）のシステムの一つなのである。
世界は主の思いによって作られたもの。
人間の仕組み（魂・肉体・精神）を突き詰め、きちんと書物にすれば主の愛を明確に提示できるの ではないか。
そう考えってあらゆる記述、モデルを作り始めたコーバクは、森羅万象をつきつめてカタチにし、結果的に宇宙 のモデルケースができてしまった。
（完成するまで、それが宇宙のモデルケースだと気づかなかった）
で、この宇宙が（たとえ生命がいないとしても）正しく機能していることこそが、世界には「主の愛」が存在し 、容認されているのだと超思いこむ。
この宝を守るために迷宮を作るコーバック。
（悪用されるのを恐れたのではなく、ホントに奪われるのだけが怖かった）
彼的にはとトライテンさえあれば他にはもう何もない。
つーかほとんど死徒としてゴールしたようなものなので、完全ニート状態。彼にはトライテンさえあれば良かっ たのです。
が、そのトライテンが人間として動きだしたと知ったらもう大パニック。
エロサイトいったらパソコンがウィルスに汚染されたぐらいの大ショック。
完璧な神の偶像を作ったら、それが人間になっていた。
では人間は神なのか。
神は人間から生まれるものなのか。
神は人間になるものなのか。
それはありえない。人間の中に神はいない。
だがトライテンは人間になった。
つまり宇宙にはそもそも人間しかいなかった。
＝神は存在しない。
みたいな論法になって、コーバックはほとんど思考停止。
一歩も動けない状態になるものの、持ち前の強い意志と妄想力でなんとか踏みとどまり、
「もう一度。もう一度、トライテンを見てみよう。
なにか私が間違ったかもしんないし。あるいは本当にトライテンは—――いや、なんでもない」
とひびきを探しをはじめる、というのが魔法使いの箱のバックストーリー。
※ありは本当にトライテンは—――
の続き。
トライテンは生命の存在しない宇宙のモデルケースだった。
（生命とは、この場合、自己進化を可能とする知的生命体とする）
だが、宇宙として成長していく過程で生命体を生んでしまった。
それは本当に神の御業そのものである。
主の愛をつきつめたトライテンが人間を生むのなら、それはたっぱりこの世界主の愛そのものであることを証明 する材料になる。
やった、やはり自分は間違っていない！
けど……問題は、そのトライテンを自分が作ってしまったコトで、神を作ってはいけない教義に反しチャったよ な俺、つーか人間が作れる神ってことは……
といった至高の迷宮。
といえば、コーバック的には、ひびきがトライテン（神さま）だとしても、
「神はあるものだ。居るものではない」
と否定する。
神の愛はある。
だがそれは人間のようなカタチであってはならない。
それは人間が理解できるカタチであってはならない。
それは、生命としてあるべきではない。
みたいな決め台詞でひびきを否定、あるいは見なかった事になる。
……それは彼の二千年にわたる戦いの全否定、自らの信念を自らで台無しにする事になるが、それでも彼は「自 分の幸福、救い」より「理想的な神の愛」を優先したのである。 - ↑ Carnival Phantasm Episode 12: "Badump! Date Super Plan - Answer"
