"Bazett, I should have said that you shouldn't come to my place."
Kotomine Kirei didn't even turn around, but he already knew who was standing behind him.
"I said, do you really want to insist on this statement?"
Bazett was somewhat speechless, hugging his chest, standing behind and looking at Kotomine Kirei's back.
"If I remember correctly, during the day yesterday, you sneaked out to eat a bowl of tofu by yourself. You also met the Saber master named Emiya Shirou and Rider in that store."
"Kotomine, what exactly is going on in this Holy Grail War? Is it really still the Holy Grail War?"
Bazett walked to a seat and knocked on the back of the chair, making a dull sound.
"Except for the first day and the collective crusade against Assassin, how do I feel..."
"This Holy Grail War is nothing like a [Holy Grail War]."
Although it was true that Bazett really liked Kotomine Kirei, her tone was still a bit serious and annoyed when she asked this question.
"What do you mean, Bazett."
Kotomine Kirei finally turned around and looked at Bazett standing at the door of the church.
"After Assassin's crusade, there have been several frictions in the Holy Grail War - this is a normal manifestation, isn't it?"
"...Are you sure that's normal friction?"
Bazett rolled his eyes.
"The Saber camp and the Rider camp live next door to each other. The friction between them... only caused a few minor injuries."
"Furthermore, the Caster camp and the Archer camp also maintain a very close relationship because of family ties."
"Is this the Holy Grail War?"
"How do I feel - this is like playing house?"
This was definitely the most uncomfortable game among the so-called [competitions] Bazett had ever participated in.
"I see what you mean, Bazett."
Kotomine Kirei nodded.
"In a relative sense, the main tone of this Holy Grail War is indeed completely different from the large-scale killings including the last Holy Grail War, but this Holy Grail War also has its own unique characteristics."
He came down the stairs.
"There are some things I didn't tell you, Bazett."
Kotomine Kirei walked to Bazett's side.
"This Holy Grail War is actually——"
"It's over from the beginning."
"well?"
Bazett turned around, but Kotomine Kirei had already walked past her.
"What - what do you mean?"
She took two steps after him with some uncertainty, and caught up with Kotomine Kirei.
But Kotomine Kirei seemed to not want to reveal any more information and had already walked out of the church.
"Tsk..."
Bazett slapped his mouth in displeasure.
"What are you doing...?"
"Although I don't particularly want to do anything, this is too cold... You were obviously begging me to help you before, is this your attitude now?"
Bazett puffed out his cheeks.
"Lancer."
She called out.
Lancer, wearing a blue tights, appeared next to her instantly.
"What's wrong, Master... there's no fight to fight, I'm almost exhausted..."
Lancer looked half-dead and completely uninterested.
I always feel that this Holy Grail War is weird... Why did he participate in such a weird Holy Grail War...
"Stop acting like that and go check out the information again...I won't believe it."
Bazett's eyes were unconvinced.
"That guy Kotomine Kirei doesn't want to tell me anything, so I'll go find the information myself!"
"This time, aim at Archer and try to find what they know as much as possible!"
"——Okay!"
Listening to his Master's tone, Lancer finally regained some of his energy and disappeared in an instant.
...
"Your Excellency Fairy."
The situation in the house was left to Emiya Shirou and the child named Illya, while Anno found Akuko outside the room.
"What, what do you want to tell me?"
Kazuko raised her eyebrows in displeasure and glanced at Annuo.
"I want to know something about Kiritsugu from you."
Annuo bowed slightly and said to Akuko.
"Emiya Kiritsugu? That man has been dead for five years, why are you asking about him?"
Kazuko was a little surprised.
Emiya Kiritsugu... Logically speaking, the one who knows the most about things related to Emiya Kiritsugu should actually be Anno, but now Anno is asking about things related to Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Wait...you want to ask what happened to Emiya Kiritsugu during the period after the last Holy Grail War?"
She reacted and almost understood what Annuo wanted to know.
"Yes."
Annuo nodded.
"The main thing I want to ask is, has Kiritsugu been to Germany after I left the show?"
"...once, not long after he adopted Shirou's child, he entrusted me with taking care of Shirou, and then went to Germany to take care of things."
"Germany... I remember that the Einzbern family is based in Germany?"
As a fairy for thousands of years, Kazuko is well-informed and probably knows what there is in Germany.
"So, Kiritsugu has been back..."
"Could it be that after he returned, he failed to bring Ilia out...?"
Annuo couldn't help but feel his body tremble.
...Things are very likely to be true.
Yubusta Kuhaid is an artificial man who is absolutely rational and operates only according to the desire to "realize the third magic". Under the control of Yubusta Kuhaid, the Einzbern family
...It seems that the door will not be opened to Emiya Kiritsugu, a sinner who "failed to complete his mission."
Irisviel died, the Small Holy Grail was destroyed by Anno, and Emiya Kiritsugu did not complete the task given to him by the Einzbern family, so being rejected is... very reasonable.
but......
For Illya, this definitely put her into a hellish situation.
The Einzbern family is definitely not a normal family. Now that the entire family is controlled by androids, the Einzbern family has gone to a certain extent and exists only for a certain purpose.
Operating machinery.
Under such circumstances, the Einzbern family sent Illyasviel as the master of this Holy Grail War, then——
This time the Little Holy Grail——
An Nuo felt his scalp numb.
What happened to Irisviel - now it's going to happen to her daughter?
--No.
No!
Annuo will never allow this to happen!
Be it selfish or despicable, Annuo - we will never allow this to happen again!
