I really didn't want to burn it.

The results of it?

The grass on Tokiomi Tohsaka's grave is now... not very tall, it seems. His filial daughter often goes to sweep his grave.

As for why Kirei chose to keep the summoned Arch in the shadows while keeping a trump card like Gilgamesh in the open...

If Gilgamesh were obedient, Kirei would certainly prefer to keep him in the shadows.

However, this is not possible.

Therefore, instead of asking this ancestor to quiet down, it's better to put him in the open.

After hearing Kirei Kotomine's introduction of Gilgamesh, the Masters in the hall all looked at Mr. Kim in surprise.

The fact that the opponent possessed the title of a divine king and the immense magical power demonstrated the extraordinary nature of this Servant.

"Oh, is it that legendary king?" Araya Souren nodded affirmatively. "Looks like a trump card."

"cut."

Gilgamesh, feeling like he was being watched like a monkey, curled his lip in disdain.

After living together for several years, the tax-evading couple reached a strange understanding.

Although Gilgamesh continued to do as he pleased, relying on the church's protection, he left behind a series of midnight legends in Fuyuki City.

Gilgamesh also maintained a certain degree of respect for Kirei, who was always cleaning up his messes.

Gilgamesh would never openly oppose Kirei's decisions, no matter how unhappy he was.

However, this tolerance has its limits.

"I am tired and need to rest."

After saying that, Gilgamesh walked towards the elevator without looking back.

"what--!"

The boy standing to Araya Souren's left suddenly covered his eyes in pain and let out a scream.

"Hmph, this is just a warning," Gilgamesh said disdainfully. "You dare to dream of my future... you bastard, you don't even know your own worth."

"Well……"

The black-haired boy covered his eyes and hid behind Araya Sōren. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Gilgamesh again.

"If you ever spy on me again, you bastard, you'll lose your eyes."

Gilgamesh, noticing Kirei's gaze, gave the boy a cold warning before taking the elevator upstairs.

"Sorry, he was rather rude."

Kirei apologized to the other Masters present, but his tone was completely insincere.

Araya Sōren said nonchalantly, "It's alright, those with strength always have some temper."

At this point, Araya Sōren turned his gaze to another Master of the Black Team—Cornelius Aruba, his old friend from the Mage's Association.

This guy is also arrogant and conceited, but the magician's skills are absolutely top-notch.

"Hopefully, this guy won't let his arrogance cause the plan to go wrong."

Araya Souren withdrew his gaze and then introduced the Black Faction's Masters to Kotomine Kirei.

There were three people from the Magicians' Association: Bazett, Aruba, and a nouveau riche named Atram Gariasta.

The remaining people are Araya Sōren himself, and the boy named Hirakura Mitsuru who was just threatened by Gilgamesh.

The other party was not a traditional magician, but just an ordinary person with futuristic vision.

Araya Sōren valued the other party's unique abilities and decided to focus on training him to become their scout.

In fact, Hikari's abilities have improved significantly with the help of Souren Araya. Now, he can not only see scenes up to half an hour in advance, but also detect fragments of what a specific person might see.

Just now, Hikari was trying to observe Gilgamesh's future, and then he got a real lesson for it.

After introducing all the Masters present to Kirei Kotomine, Araya Souren announced, "Now that all the Masters have arrived, let's begin the Servant Summoning Ritual."

"I originally planned to summon them together after Kirei Kotomine arrived, but I didn't expect you to have summoned them ahead of time."

"Is everyone here?"

Kirei glanced around and realized that there were only six people in the hall, including herself.

Araya Sōren succinctly stated, "There is another Master who has been expelled by me for indiscriminate killing."

The person he was referring to was, of course, that perverted Shirai Riyo.

After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade him, Araya Sōren simply abandoned him and left him to fend for himself.

Araya Sōren doesn't need such uncontrollable pawns. What he needs are either powerful collaborators like Aruba or obedient people like Hirakura Mitsuru.

Araya Sōren sees this Holy Grail War as a shortcut to the Root, and he must ensure victory.

Uncontrollable factors like Shirai Rio should be eliminated early on; she might even draw the Red Team's fire and provide intelligence to our side.

Shiro Junri didn't care at all; in fact, he was more than happy to accept it. He had long been annoyed by Araya Sōren, that guy who kept telling him what to do.

"Alright, let's summon the Servant. I've already prepared the summoning circle."

Araya Sōren led his team members toward the room at the other end of the apartment.

"Is it finally time to summon them?"

Bazett excitedly touched his earrings, a hint of joy unconsciously showing in his heart.

All of this was observed by Kirei Kotomine, who was following at the back of the group.

"Humph."

No one noticed that the priest from Fuyuki City silently curled the corners of his mouth.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Chaldea.

"Doctor, what do you need us for?!"

Ritsuka and Mashu ran into the control room amidst the urgent alarm.

"Fujimaru, Mashu. There's an emergency!"

Romani solemnly announced to the two men.

"Just now, we detected a sudden anomaly."

"Suddenly?"

Romani pointed to the screen: "Yes, it was as if it appeared out of nowhere."

Leonardo da Vinci added, "Through observation and comparison, we discovered that the Grail's magical energy waveband at this singularity partially overlaps with the Grail we lost in Rome."

Mashu and Ritsuka exchanged a surprised glance.

"So...it's Li Ang?"

“Although there’s no concrete evidence, it’s probably him,” Da Vinci said, rubbing his forehead. “Fujimaru Ritsuka, if you…”

"I'm leaving right now!" Ritsuka replied firmly. "I have questions I'll ask him myself!"

"So, who are the Servants who are traveling with us this time..."

"I plan to bring Mash, Ms. Artoria, and..."

Ritsuka looked around at her Servants and finally settled on a man whose back was turned.

"This singularity takes place in Japan in the 90s, right? Well then, Arch, thank you for your help."

PS1: The current time is 1998, exactly the year before Reines found Waver and made him the monarch.

PS2: Atram Gariasta, nicknamed "Oil Man" because he was so rich.

To prove he wasn't just a nouveau riche, he spent money to buy a spot in the Fifth World War and went to Fuyuki City to summon Caster. And then…

And that was it. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

He once thought his flames were comparable to C's, but he was burned to death by C's fire.

It's like asking for trouble and getting it. →_→

Hitsugura Mitsuru is a character who appears in the "Future Gospel" arc of "Kara no Kyoukai".

It's okay if you haven't read the original work, as long as you know that this guy has futuristic vision.

Both of these characters have corresponding Craft Essences in FGO, as shown in the two images above. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

PS2: The promised three updates are complete.

This means Mi-chan still owes 4 more chapters—3 chapters from before, plus 2 chapters from yesterday.

Mimi-chan will try her best to pay back all her debts by February. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 135 Kiritsugu: What are you talking about? You've got a family to support you... It smells so good!

Emiya Kiritsugu is in great pain right now.

It's not that he has any health problems.

After Li Ang and Chloris worked together to remove the black mud from his body, he felt much better.

Although he can't compare to his peak when he was unstoppable, he could definitely take on ten people at once.

Kiritsugu Emiya's distress at this moment refers to his depressed mood, which was caused by his incompetent teammates.

Today is the day the Red Team summons their Servants; it should have been a time to confirm their combat strength and seriously plan their battle strategy.

As a result, this crucial stage was turned into a family reunion by these people.

Aside from Aozaki Touko summoning Scáthach, the legendary queen of the Land of Shadows with the Lanc class, the Servants summoned by the others were all incredibly unreliable.

First, Chloris summoned Assasn·Tranquility and immediately called her "sister." Then, Wutiao Wuhui summoned Bsk·Xiang Yu and acknowledged Li Ang as her father on the spot.

The second one, Asagami Fujino, was better; the Arch she summoned was Euryale, the second of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology.

However, Kiritsugu felt something was off about the other party's humble, almost kneeling attitude towards Leon and Chloris.

Because Kiritsugu had experienced Cast mistaking his own King Arthur for Joan of Arc during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he thought that Leon and Chloris just looked like someone in the memories of the Heroic Spirits.

but……

"Godfather, you've gone too far! You have such delicious food and you won't even share it."

This is Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, wearing short sleeves and flip-flops, gulping down a sugary drink.

"Big sister! I'm so glad to see you again."

"Who are you? Release Chloris right now!"

This is the tranquility of fighting with Asagami Fujino.

"Although I knew all along that there would be differences between Servants and historical records, this is going too far."

Looking at this group of unreliable teammates, Kiritsugu felt a deep stomachache.

"Well, you'd better get used to this kind of thing quickly. I've seen even worse things in the last two years," Orange said in a tone of someone who's been there.

Kiritsugu said with deep concern, "I hope they understand the seriousness of the upcoming war."

"I seriously doubt whether that man named Li Ang was nervous about this kind of feeling."

Orange pursed her lips, took out a cigarette and lit it for herself, then took out another one and handed it to Kiritsugu.

"Do you want to smoke?"

"No, I quit smoking a long time ago."
