In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Mordred shook his head, said nothing more, and walked out of the basement toward the Matou residence.

Matou Kariya followed her silently, a look of pain occasionally flashing in her eyes.

Sakura, where are you?

Standing in the courtyard outside the Matou residence, Mordred asked:

What should we do with this house?

Matou Kariya hesitated for a moment:

"Are you sure there aren't any secret rooms or anything like that in this house?"

"Absolutely not."

Mordred retorted irritably, "I am a Servant, after all. Although my perception radius is not as great as other Servants, it is still 100 meters. Even the Crest Worms cannot escape my detection. Do you think a little girl can? Unless the Sakura you are talking about is an Assassin with a Noble Phantasm that can conceal her presence."

Kariya Matou's gaze gradually hardened, and he said without any hesitation:

"Then let's burn it."

If he could, he would prefer Mordred to destroy this place with her Noble Phantasm. But unfortunately, his mana couldn't withstand such a large-scale consumption.

Therefore, it's better to use a more economical method and just set the fire!

“If you want to destroy this house, I can offer some assistance.”

Mordred immediately stepped in front of Matou Kariya, watching the suddenly appearing figure warily.

“Caster?”

Matou Kariya also warily observed the tall figure, who wore an ancient-style luxurious robe, its black fabric adorned with blood-red patterns, and whose unusually large pupils easily reminded one of a nocturnal animal.

Although his talent as a magician was extremely limited, it was not to the point that he couldn't even recognize a Servant.

With other Servants appearing one after another, the person in front of us could only be Caster, who has been hiding in the shadows all along.

I just don't know what his purpose is in appearing here. Is he trying to take advantage of their weakness to deliver a fatal blow?

Caster did not answer him, but stared intently at the black knight blocking his way.

She was the smallest in stature, yet the bravest and most imposing, always standing in front of the weak. No matter what predicament she was forced into, she was fearless and resolutely confronted her enemies.

Even though Caster knew that the Berserker in front of him might be a fake, he still couldn't take his eyes off the Berserker's figure, nor could he!

Caster's body was trembling, trembling with excitement, even his brain was trembling!

Ahhhhh!

Holy Virgin!

Is it really you?

Although he was wearing black armor, there was one face, there was one face he would never mistake!

Even though the girl in front of him was far from the holy image he had in mind, Caster still believed that she might be a true saint—even if she was a fallen saintly virgin, she was still a saintly virgin!

"Nice to meet you, my name is Gilles de Rae."

Caster bowed politely, then reached into his cloak and pulled out a disgusting little bug. "I suppose you're looking for this."

"Matou-dirish inkstone!"

Kariya Matou recognized the insect at a glance, his eyes blazing with hatred.

"Tch, are you trying to protect it?"

Mordred pointed his sword at Caster and said coldly.

"No, please don't misunderstand, I'm here to form an alliance with you."

Caster quickly waved his hand to explain, and threw the Crest Bug in his hand at the two of them, "This disgusting bug is my sincerity!"

Snapped!

The insect was casually tossed to the ground and bounced twice before almost instinctively starting to burrow into the soil, even though it knew it was likely futile.

"Matou-dirish inkstone!"

Kariya Matou lunged forward, gripping the insect tightly with his still-functioning right hand, and gritted his teeth as he uttered its name.

"Wait—wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute...!!"

"Kariya, Kariya! My most beloved son, my most promising son, I am your father! And Sakura, don't you want to know where Sakura is? You can't kill me, you can't! If you kill me, you'll never know..."

Kariya Matou ignored him and tried to squeeze the insect with all his might, but with only one hand, he couldn't kill it. In fact, due to his weakness, the insect almost broke free from his grasp several times.

"Shut up, you old man!"

Matou Kariya gritted his teeth, opened his mouth wide, and bit down on the insect's 'head'. His eyes burned with hatred and rage. He had already made up his mind that he would bite it to death, even if it meant biting it!

He had been waiting for this moment for who knows how long; how could he possibly let him go?!

Even if I let him go, would he really tell me where Sakura is?

Do not!

He will never fall for it again. Only by completely killing Zouken Matou can Sakura be truly safe!

puff!

The Crest Insect's body was bitten off by its hard teeth, and foul-smelling liquid sprayed into Matou Kariya's mouth, making him want to vomit. Even so, he still held on tightly to the insect's body, shaking his head again and again, tearing the insect into pieces.

Until the insect could not be found in any intact place, until it completely stopped moving.

"Ha, ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha!"

Kariya Matou tossed the mangled insect corpse aside, used his arms to prop himself up, rolled over, and lay on his back on the grass, letting out a wild laugh. But the laughter was so mournful, it sounded like crying.

Both Servants watched silently, Caster's gaze never leaving Mordred.

Mordred looked at Matou Kariya with some approval. She always believed that as long as you can win, you can beat him with your fists and even bite him with your teeth!

She admired Matou Kariya's determination to kill Matou Zouken even though his body was crippled—

Yeah, it's a bit disgusting though.

Although she wouldn't mind biting an enemy's throat during a fight, she had never actually encountered such a desperate situation in her life. Most of the time, she could kill with a sword, or even with her fists if necessary.

Moreover, if she were actually asked to bite such an insect, she would probably be very resistant.

Biting people is one thing, but biting insects is really disgusting.

Decided.

Let Matou Kariya lie down, otherwise just supporting him will make his armor smear with the stench of insects.

Mordred looked at Caster across from her, her tone softening considerably:

"So, what is your purpose?"

"As I said before, I am here to form an alliance."

Caster remained polite, despite his bulging eyes looking rather menacing.

Matou Kariya got up from the ground and asked in a deep voice:

"I owe you a favor. How would you like to form an alliance?"

"first."

Caster smiled. "I hope you will challenge Saber."

"challenge?"

Mordred scoffed. The girl raised her sword, her eyes blazing with fervent fire. "Not a challenge! It's rebellion! I will rebel against her once more, and I will defeat her!"

"Ahhh! Holy Virgin! That's it, that's the expression, so confident, so captivating! Even in your fallen state, you are still so mesmerizing!"

Caster roared inwardly, feeling immense satisfaction.

But he dared not show it, because he did not know who the real Virgin was.

If he were to submit to the false Holy Virgin, it would be the greatest insult to the Holy Virgin.

He had to be patient until he could figure out who the real Virgin was!

But it won't be long. Soon, very soon he will find out who his holy virgin is!

-----------------

Generally speaking, when a Servant is destroyed, their physical body collapses, and their soul enters the Lesser Grail.

And the person who served as the Lesser Grail in this ceremony was Irisviel.

When a Servant dies, their soul enters her body, is converted into magical energy, and is stored within her. When there are five Servants' souls, she already possesses the power of the Holy Grail.

Once the six Servants enter, they are filled with magical energy and become wish-granting machines that can grant wishes; this process is called 'spirit summoning'.

As the Holy Grail War progresses, the girl named Irisviel will inevitably grow weaker and weaker, eventually becoming the true 'Minor Grail'. Her true self as 'Irisviel' will disappear, leaving only her essence as a tool.

Irisviel has always believed that she can face her fate with equanimity and accept it willingly.

If Kira-kun desires the Holy Grail, then she is willing to become the Holy Grail herself to fulfill his wish.

but.

Even so, she was still afraid.

She was afraid of being turned into a tool, afraid of never seeing Ilya again, and afraid of never being able to stay by her husband's side again.

So she kept hoping that what Yoshikage Kira wanted was not the Holy Grail, but a homunculus named 'Irisviel'.

And now.

She has the answer.

"Kira-kun."

Irisviel nestled against Yoshikage Kira, gently stroking his cheek. "Look at me, look at me carefully, and give me your love!"

She didn't want to be a minor Grail, nor did she want to be infused with the souls of Servants.

She wanted to be a cyborg named Irisviel, to be brutally penetrated by her husband!
