But now that he knows there are other Greater Grail in parallel worlds, and even a guy named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada who almost did what he wanted, he can no longer accept failure as before.
In his view, the idea that heroic spirits should not interfere with humanity's own choices is utter nonsense.
Heroic spirits were originally human, and among the most prestigious and renowned among humans. Why couldn't they 'make choices for humanity'?
Just like a country or a nation needs a leader.
In his view, the vast majority of people in the world are ignorant and chaotic, and that is precisely why they need someone to stand up and guide them.
Throughout human history, which major transformations concerning nations, peoples, or even civilizations were not successful because of the decisions of a few people, or even just one person?
Therefore, in his view, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's actions were the right thing to do, and he would definitely do so if given the chance.
The problem is, even if he manages to obtain the Gem Sword 10 years later through scheming and travel to other parallel worlds to compete for the Holy Grail, he might not succeed given his own strength and the loss of home-field advantage.
So how could he abandon such a powerful tool as Ilya without using her?
Even if Irisviel tries to stop him, he is confident that he can use his status as her father to make Ilya lean towards him.
But if he did that, would he really deserve to be a father?
Kiritsugu Emiya was torn by inner turmoil.
Not long after dinner, Kitagawa Yu first helped Irisviel 'heal' her physical breakdown.
Although losing the Lesser Grail diminished her magical talent, and she is now just another ordinary Einzbern family homunculus, the feeling of ease she experienced was unlike anything she had ever felt before. It made her exceptionally happy and satisfied, which further solidified her resolve.
At the same time, Hayd also prepared the ritual and materials for making the Lesser Grail.
This is nothing to the Einzbern family, which has a history spanning thousands of years and is extremely wealthy.
"Are you sure everything's okay? Could this Haid be up to something?" Inside the enormous magic workshop, Medusa looked at the control panel in front of her and couldn't help but ask with some unease.
“Haven’t you and Lancelot been keeping an eye on him?” Kitagawa Yu reassured him with a smile. “Don’t worry, Haid won’t risk the destruction of the Einzbern family by doing anything underhanded. If he were to do something, he would choose Ilya.”
"Besides, even if something really happens to Sakura, Elena and I can bring her back to life."
Needless to say, his healing skills are unparalleled. He can cure any physical ailment, no matter what it is. Elena's time magic can even rewind a target's state to 24 hours ago, making it a divine skill when used for healing.
Moreover, he has the power of this wish to guarantee it.
Even after spending 50 points of Wish Power to upgrade the treatment, he still has 566 points of Wish Power left.
He had never fought such a rich war before!
Medusa remained silent for a moment before choosing to believe Kitagawa Yu.
Because there's nothing she can do about it, Matou Sakura only recognizes Kitagawa Yu now and doesn't listen to her at all!
The thought of this made her feel a pang of sadness.
However, she could also feel that Kitagawa Yu was genuinely doing this for Matou Sakura's own good. Having lived in the mythological era, she knew all too well how important strength was to a person.
Moreover, once Matou Sakura possesses the Lesser Grail system, she can remain in the mortal world indefinitely.
If she had a choice, she definitely wouldn't want to return to that empty Throne of Heroes. As for her two older sisters... well, that's a good question. Don't ask that again next time.
Since Heroic Spirits don't have lifespans, right? And there's no time within the Throne of Heroes, right?
It's worth mentioning that although Kitagawa Yu gained control of the Command Seals and Artoria, he couldn't help Artoria recover from her depletion or use Avalon because he lacked magical power himself.
However, Artoria possesses the Dragon Factor and the Red Dragon Heart, making her mana recovery speed much faster than that of a typical grand magician, so she doesn't need to worry about mana consumption.
Without the magician's bonus, her base stats have decreased significantly, now roughly the same as when she had a contract with Emiya Shirou.
This is something that Kiritsugu Emiya, who doesn't know Kitagawa Yu's true situation and thinks he is a very powerful proxy, is unaware of.
As he spoke, Haid had already begun to act.
Dressed in white robes, he held a golden Holy Grail made of countless magical artifacts in his hands and merged it into Matou Sakura's body.
Then, the magic runes in the lower magic circle lit up one by one, condensing into a blood-red sphere made of liquid that enveloped Matou Sakura and began to help the magic circuits of the Lesser Grail connect with Matou Sakura's own magic circuits.
At this moment, Matou Sakura, who was enveloped in the blood sphere, also frowned slightly.
"Because she is not a homunculus of our Einzbern family, who was born with the Lesser Grail but was implanted later, there will be a little bit of pain during the process. Of course, it really is only a little bit!"
Hayd glanced at Kitagawa Yuna's right hand, which had already unconsciously rested on the hilt of her sword, and quickly began to explain.
Kitagawa Yu had been watching Matou Sakura's reaction closely. Seeing that she didn't show any further signs of pain and that her body remained relaxed, he was relieved and confirmed that Haid hadn't lied to him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just wiping my sweat~" Kitagawa Yu joked casually.
But judging from Haid's bewildered expression, he clearly didn't find the joke very funny.
For over a thousand years, the Einzbern family has been relentlessly researching artificial human creation technology in order to replicate Justessa. Their methods are far superior to Zouken Matou's crude implantation techniques.
Although the problem of the Lesser Grail being too powerful and causing the implanted person's body to collapse has not yet been resolved, this is not a very important issue. After all, androids are just tools; if they break, they can be remade.
However, there will be no problems with the Lesser Grail itself or the implantation process.
It must be said that the Einzbern family is indeed remarkable. Their artificial human technology is so advanced that even if external technology were to advance for another hundred years, it might not be able to reach such a level.
Time passed quickly.
Ten minutes later, with the connection of the last magic circuit, the small Holy Grail, which had originally been radiating golden light, was completely integrated into Matou Sakura's own magic circuit and was completely dyed into the void black.
At the same time, the blood sphere shattered, and Matou Sakura fell out of it with a cry of surprise.
Fortunately, Kitagawa Yu had been using the Evil King's True Eye to observe the changes within her body, so he had anticipated this scene.
With a flash, before Medusa could even react, Kitagawa Yu appeared beside Matou Sakura as if by teleportation, catching her small, falling body in his arms.
That incredibly familiar and cherished scent instantly eased Matou Sakura's previously tense heart. She turned around and skillfully hugged Kitagawa Yu's neck, a look of anticipation on her face.
"Onii-chan, did I succeed?"
"Well, it worked."
As soon as Kitagawa Yu spoke, he had already used some of his wish power to inquire with the system and confirmed that her transplant was very successful.
The Lesser Grail itself had no defects, and Haid honestly did not tamper with it.
At the same time, just as he had predicted, thanks to the unique magical properties of 'Hollow,' even the Lesser Grail filled with the souls of Heroic Spirits would not place any burden on Matou Sakura's body.
However, seeing the conflicted expression on Matou Sakura's face, he still asked with concern, "What's wrong, Sakura? Are you feeling unwell?"
Sakura Matou carefully sensed it again, then gently shook her head: "I don't think so, I just suddenly feel... I feel really hungry."
Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that the 'hunger' probably didn't refer to food, but rather to magic.
Magic circuits are the organs through which magicians generate, operate, and store magical power, and they are usually in a state of overflow.
Now that such a large mass of magic circuits, equivalent to hundreds of magic circuits for an ordinary magician, has appeared out of nowhere in Matou Sakura's body, her originally overflowing magical power has naturally become empty, so it's not surprising that she feels hungry.
However, she has not inherited the 'absorption' characteristic of the Matou family's magic, so she cannot quickly convert other life forms into her own magical power. Therefore, she can only recover on her own.
“Then I’ll take you to get something to eat first, and then I’ll have your sister Elena teach you meditation,” Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.
There are two main ways to generate magic power through magic circuits: one is to absorb it from the outside world, and the other is to convert one's own life force into magic power.
Therefore, eating can indeed help magicians restore their magic.
Kitagawa Yu even suspected that Artoria's gluttony might be due to a combination of factors, besides her genuinely large appetite, such as replenishing her magical energy.
After all, her Dragon Factor can be considered a special and powerful magic circuit.
If you can't absorb enough magic power from the outside world, then you can only convert food into life force through eating, and then convert life force into magic power, right?
Thinking of this, Kitagawa Yu subconsciously turned to look at Artoria.
Although Artoria wasn't eating and was dutifully guarding him, she still subconsciously swallowed when she heard "eat," a small action that he happened to catch.
"."
"."
Their eyes met, and Artoria was so embarrassed that her cheeks almost burned.
But you really can't blame her! During the time she lived, Camelot had just recovered from the war and resources were scarce.
As a noble knight-king, she ate far more frugally than other nobles, if not the same as commoners. She had never tasted such delicious food from the main world!
Well, it's not that she's greedy, it's just that those snacks are so delicious!
Kitagawa Yu's lips twitched, and he almost burst out laughing.
At the same time, he was secretly relieved.
"Luckily, I can now make money by writing and drawing comics. Otherwise, with the income from the coffee shop, I wouldn't be able to support even one Saber King."
Without realizing it, 'Our King' has become 'Ahoge King'.
This is understandable, though. After an afternoon of contemplation, Artoria has decided to accept Kitagawa Yu's 'command,' which does not violate the code of chivalry, and will follow him until Rin Tohsaka grows up, and then take the Jewel Sword from Rin Tohsaka to compete for the Greater Grail in a parallel world.
Of course, once Artoria fulfills her wish and saves Camelot, she will return to his side.
So Artoria is already considered his person.

Chapter 174: Did the draw go astray? An unexpected surprise!
"Hahaha! I finally succeeded!"
In a magnificent room filled with Greek flair, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, dressed in a fitted dark blue robe, looked at the red cloth in a metal box on the desk in front of him and burst into hearty laughter.
This was clearly a bit out of line for Lord El-Melloi, who always maintained an elegant demeanor.
This is understandable, though. There are only seven Masters in the Holy Grail War, and he, the dignified monarch El-Melloi, was the last one to summon a Servant, which he considered a great disgrace.
You should know that he showed talent that was worthy of being called a child prodigy during his student days, and he is the youngest person in the history of the spiritual discipline to become a lecturer!
Fortunately, he finally found Alexander the Great's relics.
In this way, although he was a day or two later than the other three Masters, he would definitely be far ahead in terms of the strength of the Servants he summoned, right?
"Declaration!"
"Your body obeys my commands; my life is one with your sword."
Kenneth suppressed his excitement and loudly chanted the incantation to summon the heroic spirit.
Furthermore, based on his extraordinary understanding of spirit summoning magic, he added his own touches to the incantation.
But he was soon dumbfounded, because the class of the Heroic Spirit was a little wrong!
