Okay, I just double-checked, because I knew Lip had ridiculously huge breasts, but I hadn't realized that her bust exceeds her height. At that point, it'd probably be less "those're huge" than staring mutely in stunned disbelief.

Gilgamesh trolling Ritsuka in one more way, and/or Kana being that desparate to avoid any
Jokes aside, I suspect that Kana should have the very nearly as stressful job keeping the servants from going off on each other for real.
Off-screen the Casters are busy developing Chaldea and scrying for the next Singularity or micro-Singularities, the various Servants are raiding those micro-Singularities for resources or preparing for war, and those with worthwhile skills strategise and make plans for the various Servant rosters. Archer also cooks and runs a bar, While Marie helps run errands. Waver is basically on the command staff (a special consultant like Leo) and teaches magecraft to the twins on the side - which is actually the topic of Chapter 14, because with Case Files out on anime I have a better idea of how the curriculum works.

The only people who don't do anything are Gilgamesh, who considers his presence a well-deserved holiday, and Stheno, who is a Goddess.

Meanwhile Ritsuka manages administrative affairs with Roman when he isn't planning for the next Singularity, and Kana handles the Servants and deals with their drama when she isn't planning for the next Singularity.
Thank you for clarifying.

That might be for the best. As we've seen, their ideas of helping might not fly with what those in need actually had in mind.

Don't stare too close, or you might fall in the Imaginary Number Space between her breasts.
 
You underestimate the power of comedy.



'So I guess we got a new cousin. She's the size of a seige engine.'

(Kingprotea looms adorably in the background.)
Alaways envisioned a scene in my head where EMIYA (the normal one) manifested Unlimited Blade works in the final battle in the Extra CCC event and lets Kingprotea got to town on Kiara with Ign-Alima.

I can see it in my mind as the giant kid flailing around a mountain sized sword at the demonic bodhisvatta.

I need to find the image again, but there is one of Kingprotea, Paul Bunyan, and Asterios, where both girls are side-by-side 'petting' the mane of a sleeping/snoozing Asterios' like nothing more than a giant scale version of two girls petting a lap dog, while off to the side a tiny Euryale is shown to be fuming/pouting.

I got temporary diabetes from just looking at it. Sadly/annoyingly, its not on danbooru, gelbooru, or safebooru.
 
The gamier aspects are usually constrained to events, since they're more comedic, but class changes are referenced within the story. It's not just gameplay.
At the very least, Cu Caster is a thing, even if he hasn't actually joined Chaldea that way. Just as an example to prove your point.

This here. This is (one of) my favorite posts you've made, because details like this are rad. Chaldea is basically magical XCOM with how it's run. I love it.

Oh yeah, that's been clear since Apocrypha, but in regards to the Summer/holiday servants it seems inconsistent narratively. Not that servants can't manifest like that, but for most of the ones that are supposed to already be part of Chaldea, it's basically a costume change.

Honestly, it's probably easier to just not think about it too hard like the development team says, even if the idea makes me think Ritsuka should metagame the system in-story if it's anywhere near as easy as implied.

Thought of this a bit late, but... Considering what we've been shown, most of the work in actually defusing the Servant-induced incidents is actually being done by Ritsuka (even if it's just "call in Herc as an impromptu enforcer"); Kana, meanwhile, seems to either ignore problems that do not completely jeopardize Chaldea or encourage them to misbehave, which just stresses Ritsuka out even more.

Basically: Show, don't tell; if we don't see Kana defusing situations, we won't believe she's doing that. The "Ritsuka does all the work while Kana goofs off" comment has a point, in that we have never seen her do anything else when she's not in a Singularity. It doesn't help that she spends an unspecified percentage of her time trapped in the Gate of Babylon, and thus completely incapable of doing anything. In fact, as far as I'm aware, the ONLY time she's done the job you stated she performs was when Stheno was summoned, and that was solely because Ritsuka was rendered incapable of acting as a Master by his own Servant (who had, additionally, explicitly stated that she would not restore him purely due to her own ego). Beyond that, she seems to be more of an instigator.

She's gonna have to shape up outside the Singularities to shake off the "Kana is a liability" reputation, I feel. Of course, I might be going overboard (like I did with Kiyo and said I would with the Summer Servants if I let myself get started on them), and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm forgetting something, but I'm just telling it how I see it, and the way I see it is that it's time for Kana to be the butt of the "unruly Servants" running gag.
