"You guy, even if that's the case, I won't forgive you! You took away my father!"
Hearing that Shirou was actually trying to save him, who was going to kill him, Elia felt very complicated.
She thought that Kirei Shirou would be like her father, but upon closer observation, she found that this guy was a fool who always thought about others before himself.
Of course, she wouldn't admit that she had changed her opinion of Kirei Shirou on the surface.
"Ten years ago, a great fire destroyed my family. It was Kirei who saved me from the ruins and raised me up."
He is a kind and just person. I believe he would never abandon you for no reason, not visit you without his own reasons.
"I often see him sitting on the rooftop at night, looking towards the northwest, alone and crying."
Kirei Shirou scratched his head and voiced his thoughts.
After hearing this, Elia was taken aback and tears involuntarily flowed down from her eyes in two lines.
This is because the northwest direction in Japan is Germany, the location of the House of Einzbern, and where she has lived since she was a child.
"Father, why didn't you keep your promise and why did you abandon me?"
"Then, why don't you come with us first? We're preparing to meet a surviving Master from the last holy war; maybe you can learn something about your father from him."
George waved his hand, bringing everyone back to the real world.
He was still researching the spell that controlled seven seals, so he wasn't in a hurry to move the seals so quickly.
It's a good opportunity to find Kiritsugu Emiya and control him first. Once the research is completed, I'll transfer the Lancer's seals to myself as well.
For him, controlling seven Seals at the same time isn't difficult. If he's lucky, he might be able to finish the research by tomorrow.
So take Elia with you, so you don't have to find her tomorrow.
What a hassle if I were to be killed by another Master in the meantime.
So far, he has known five out of the seven Master Servants.
The Master of the Sword Servant is himself. The Archer is Rin Tohsaka. The Lancer is Kiritsugu Emiya. The Berserker is Elia. The Rider is Neko Nou, who has now transferred to Takumi Hyou.
After dealing with Kiritsugu Emiya, he will pay a visit to the Hyouji household.
The Master of the Magician and the Assassin Servants he is not clear about, but he believes that Kiritsugu Emiya as the supervisor should have some information.
So, the group heading to the outskirts of the church has grown by two more people.
However, all the heroes can transform from their physical forms into ethereal states for concealment.
So, to a normal person, it would be George, Shirou, Rin, and Elia.
"That's where it is. Today, he asked me to meet him tonight, so he should still be here."
In the suburbs of Fuyuki City, Rin Tohsaka pointed to the imposing church in front.
George's eyes flashed, and a small smile appeared on his lips. He had already determined that Kiritsugu Emiya was inside the church.
"Bang!"
Rin Tohsaka kicked open the main door of the church.
"Rin, I've repeatedly asked you not to ignore me."
Kiritsugu Emiya placed the Bible he was holding on the table in the church and turned around.
When he saw George, Shirou, and Elia, his brow furrowed:
"It seems you've also brought some strange guests."
"Fake priest, I just have one question for you, did you kill my father?"
Rin Tohsaka's magic seal on her right hand lit up, ready to unleash an attack at any moment.
Kiritsugu Emiya evidently did not expect Rin Tohsaka, who was originally being cultivated as a pawn, to know the truth at this time.
During the Fourth Great Holy War, he understood what he had been pursuing for half of his life through Gilgamesh, so he killed Rin's father, his master.
Love, family, friendship, justice, and evil – none of these are the paths he pursued.
He sought to find self-satisfaction and pleasure.
His purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was not to make a wish using the Holy Grail, but rather to let the black mud curse pollute the entire world and bring pain to all of humanity.
Because that would bring him the ultimate pleasure.
During the last Holy Grail War, he failed because of Shirou Kirei's interference.
This time, after carefully planning and arranging for ten years, he is determined to succeed.
"Trouble, I thought I would tell you at the last moment. This way, you could live a few more days."
He sighed, and the seal on his right hand shone:
"It's fine. You've already become the Master. The plan has just been accelerated by a few days."
It's convenient, since the Holy Grail vessel is here too. It'll be more convenient to deal with them all at once."
Rin Tohsaka was something he had personally trained, and he knew her abilities thoroughly. She posed no threat at all.
As for the Archer summoned by Rin Tohsaka, he had already dispatched the Lancer to test it. Its strength was average among heroes, and the Lancer should be enough to deal with it.
And it was at night that he had the Lancer test Rin Tohsaka's Servant.
So far, he has obtained the information on all Master Servants except Archers and Swordsmen through his role as supervisor.
He had been letting Rin Tohsaka perform ceremonies at the church for that very reason – to confirm the class and strength of the Servant she summoned.
Only Rin Tohsaka refused to come, insisting on summoning the Servant herself.
So when he learned that Rin Tohsaka had successfully summoned her Servant, he dispatched the Lancer to test it.
After the Lancer returned, he reported the results of their confrontation. To be safe, he also instructed the Lancer to eliminate the boy whom Rin Tohsaka had revived.
However, the Lancer has not returned yet.
This is not a problem. Masters can summon Servants to their presence through the use of a single Seal.
The Lancer would deal with the Archer. He would take care of Rin Tohsaka and the two ordinary people.
Not bad. In his eyes, George and Shirou are just ordinary people.
Yes, although Shirou has some magical powers, such as low-level magic that can't be considered a sorcerer in the magical world, he still belongs to the ordinary people.
As for George, he's not a sorcerer at all. He can't even feel any magic, so he's definitely an ordinary person.
He's just a bit puzzled as to why Rin Tohsaka would bring two ordinary people along. Does she think that two ordinary people can help in battle?
That's too naive.
The only real trouble is with the Holy Grail vessel, Elia, and her Servant, Hercules.
He had collected information on Elia. The daughter of Shirou Kirei, she had been subject to various modifications by the House of Einzbern since childhood.
Besides being the vessel for the Holy Grail, she also possesses immense magical power and is difficult to deal with.
And the Servant she has summoned, Hercules, is one of the strongest and most difficult to defeat among all heroes. He is already overwhelmingly powerful, and his Holy Grail weapon gives him twelve lives.
Fortunately, Gilgamesh has said that he has a special artifact that can counter Hercules and deal with this trouble easily.
