I really didn't want to burn it.

After spending the afternoon with the priest, she couldn't see anything strange about him other than his eating disorder.

Karen retorted, "Hmph, that's why the old woman is so ignorant. That man has a whole string of Command Seals on his arm, just as many as Karen herself."

When Kirei Kotomine was mentioned, Kallen showed no emotion whatsoever, as if she were talking about a complete stranger.

"Old woman..."

A series of # symbols popped up on Chloris's forehead.

"I'm saying, our Red Team is having a strategic meeting. Shouldn't you, the referee, recuse yourself? Are you trying to blatantly blow the whistle unfairly?"

Kallen rested her chin on her hand and let out a cold laugh: "Although I am the referee of this Holy Grail War, the fundamental reason why the Counter Force summoned me is that this Holy Grail War will endanger the entire world."

“For me, the latter takes precedence over being the referee.” Karen tapped Li Ang’s chest with her finger. “Based on my judgment, the Black team has major problems, so I naturally have to stand on Father’s side.”

"..."

Chloris was at a loss for words.

This father and daughter duo, one a GM personally involved, the other openly blowing the whistle unfairly.

Even Chloris herself doesn't believe they aren't biologically related.

Li Ang ignored the two women's banter and continued to look at Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu nodded slowly: "In terms of combat power alone, Kirei Kotomine is indeed a powerful Master, but the real problem is his large number of Command Seals. And his Servants as well."

"A Servant? That golden-haired guy?"

"Yes. In terms of combat power, that guy is definitely top-tier among Servants."

Although Kiritsugu doesn't think much of King Arthur and considers the Conqueror King a fool, the strength of these two Servants is undeniable.

That golden Arch, however, was able to overwhelm the two kings above in terms of strength.

In fact, Kiritsugu did not know Gilgamesh's real name, nor did he care what his name was.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, his strategy was to use Servants to hold off the enemy while he killed the other six Masters.

But this time it's a team battle, and my Servant is my wife.

Kiritsugu would naturally have to change his related strategies.

"Regarding the true name of that golden servant..."

Kiritsugu wasn't entirely ignorant about Gilgamesh; Irisviel was present at the Three Kings' gathering. Based on her description, Kiritsugu could deduce some things.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be Gilgamesh, the legendary king of ancient Babylon."

Scáthach nodded thoughtfully: "The King of Heroes... No wonder he has my spear. He must possess the original texts of all Noble Phantasms."

"Judging from combat power, that guy is indeed at the pinnacle of Servants," Li Ang added.

To be honest, Gilgamesh's situation is very special; ordinary Servants simply cannot defeat that guy.

The best approach is to replicate Shirou Emiya's tactics from UBW, find a way to trick Archer (Red Archer) and Gilgamesh of Chaldea into exchanging Noble Phantasms, and then strike them with your elbow when they pull out their Ea.

But Leon didn't think it would go so smoothly; the problem was just how to get Chaldea to help.

You should know that Leon is definitely on Chaldea's wanted list right now.

"I suggest that we must eliminate Kirei Kotomine and his Servants at all costs," Kiritsugu said with a burning gaze.

"The best way is to take advantage of our numbers, but..."

Suddenly, Li Ang thought of something. He put one hand on Kiritsugu's shoulder and the other on Ryougi Shiki's shoulder.

"I said, are you interested in demolishing this building?"

PS: Judging from the novel content alone, besides Tokiomi's side, only Waver's group knew Gilgamesh's true name by the end of World War IV.

Kiritsugu himself probably didn't know Gilgamesh's real name.

But given his personality, he probably just doesn't care. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Chapter 146 Father Mapo: Kiritsugu Emiya, do you know how I've spent the last four years?

At Ogawa Apartments, Araya Sōren had just finished treating Bazett.

"How is my Master?"

Cú Chulainn, who was waiting at the door, asked anxiously.

"There's no danger to their lives, just their combat capabilities..."

Araya Sōren didn't finish his sentence, but how could Cú Chulainn not understand what he meant?

Cú Chulainn gave a disgruntled snort: "Tch, that damned rune user."

Cú Chulainn certainly harbored resentment towards Leon, though it wouldn't be to say he was extremely resentful.

Their own Master was defeated head-on by the opponent; there's nothing to say about being outmatched on the battlefield.

But Cú Chulainn certainly had a strong desire to get revenge.

"Hmph, tonight, I'll challenge Sab again!" Cú Chulainn gripped his red spear tightly. "I will definitely defeat that master-servant duo!"

Araya Souren raised an eyebrow and said, "Regarding this..."

"what happened?"

The fake monk's words gave Cú Chulainn a bad feeling.

"Let me explain."

Kirei Kotomine suddenly appeared out of nowhere and explained with a smile, "We hope you can temporarily let the Red Team's Sab go and focus your attention on the other Servants."

"What do you mean?"

Kirei Kotomine said in a detached tone, "It's nothing, I just think that trash should be put to good use."

"Huh? Who are you calling trash!"

Feeling looked down upon, Cú Chulainn pointed his gun at Kirei Kotomine's throat.

"I'm just telling the truth. Now that your true name has been exposed, you've also lost your weapon. As a Servant, what are you if not a piece of trash?"

"You guy..."

Even though I knew there was nothing wrong with Kirei Kotomine's words, it was still infuriating to hear them come from the mouth of this fake priest.

"Don't get excited, Lanc." Araya Souren began to play the good cop. "Your information has already been exposed. Using your information to extract information from the other side is a good deal."

"..."

Cú Chulainn gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the two men in front of him who had identical voices.

From a team perspective, it's indeed worthwhile for a Servant whose information has been largely exposed to try and extract information from the other Servants on the opposing side.

But the act of abandoning his own great Celtic hero was something Cú Chulainn found hard to swallow.

Kirei Kotomine delivered a fatal blow to Cú Chulainn's already troubled heart.

"Don't forget, the weapon you're using now was sponsored by my servant. What if I make him take it back?"

"you--!"

If given a choice, Cú Chulainn would really like to throw down his gun and say, "This team is better off gone!"

Unfortunately, Cú Chulainn couldn't do it.

He could refuse that glittering weapon for the sake of his dignity, but his Master still needed these people to help him heal.

Kirei Kotomine smiled with satisfaction. He loved seeing Cú Chulainn's expression when he was forced to do something he didn't want to do.

"Really... Tanosi~ Since I can't make fun of Emiya Kiritsugu for the time being, teasing this dog is a good alternative."

Araya Sōren didn't have the same perverse sense of humor as Kirei Kotomine; winning the Holy Grail War and reaching the Root was what he was most eager for.

"Lanc, we have no interest in interfering with your feud with the Red Sab. Once you have information about the seven Servants on the other side, the rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this condition, even the most unwilling Cú Chulainn had no choice but to agree.

"I can only hope the other Servants aren't too troublesome..."

Cú Chulainn was confident in his abilities, but not arrogant.

If just one Saber on the other side is so troublesome, how will the other Servants fare?

Cú Chulainn had no other thoughts but to hope that he could challenge Sab of the Red Team to another duel as soon as possible.

Just as Cú Chulainn was deep in thought, the fire alarm rang out without warning, interrupting his thoughts.

"what?"

Cú Chulainn muttered in confusion.

Araya Sōren's eyes narrowed.

"The apartment's fire alarm has been activated."

Although Ogawa Apartment is Araya Sōren's ultimate magic workshop, its basic design is still based on modern apartments, and it naturally has fire alarms, elevators, and other modern apartment facilities.

"A fire? Could it be that some picky idiot burned the house down?"

As Cú Chulainn spoke, he looked at Kirei Kotomine with a provocative gaze, practically implying that his Mr. Kim had played with fire and burned the house down.

"No, even if Gilgamesh is stupid, he wouldn't do something like that. However, I need to check it out."

A strange light flashed in Kirei Kotomine's eyes as he walked happily toward the end of the corridor.

"I smell a familiar scent... Could it be you? Kiritsugu Emiya..."

Looking at Kirei Kotomine, who had already walked away, Cú Chulainn confirmed, "So—it was an attack?"

"Judging from his appearance, it seems so." Araya Sōren nodded slightly. "The Lanc invaders are now in your hands."

“That’s exactly what I was thinking,” Cú Chulainn said with a cold laugh. “By the way, if I were to encounter Sab, wouldn’t you have no reason to stop me?”

"of course."

Araya Sōren nodded.

"Then I'd better hurry and find them."

Cú Chulainn quickly said.

Since the other side dared to invade this place, they must know that this is their Black Team's headquarters. In that case, it is not impossible that the combat force they sent out was not just one Servant, but even their entire force.

Therefore, Cú Chulainn must intercept Sab before his other Servants find him.

As for the Red Team capturing the apartment building, Cú Chulainn never even considered such a thing.

after all……

Cú Chulainn glanced at Araya Sōren.

"With that monster around... no one can take over this apartment building."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Is this all we need to do?

Standing in the underground parking garage of Ogawa's apartment building, looking at the thick smoke billowing around her, Chloris asked curiously.

Li Ang nodded: "Pretty much, we just need to find a way to lure the enemies out of the apartment."

Ryougi Shiki frowned, observing the surrounding situation through her Mystic Eyes.

"We can't see the dead line of this building... I guess using a bomb later won't be very effective."

Li Ang was not surprised by the reminder about the "Two Rites".

"I expected it, and I didn't think it would be this easy to pass the level."

Even though everyone knows that Araya Sōren and Ogawa Apartment merged, attacking the building would harm him.

But Ogawa Apartments isn't like the building in the Conan movie next door, fragile and easily blown up.

As the perfect creation of Araya Sōren, a top-tier barrier master, Ogawa Apartment boasts unparalleled defensive capabilities.

Moreover, since the target of this apartment was Ryougi Shiki, who possessed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, how could Araya Sōren not make some targeted arrangements?
