Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: I, Tohsaka Rin, on the Path to Becoming a Demon God, the Nearing End of the Holy Grail War

The group that left the Matou Residence was now walking along a secluded road.

Compared to before they went to the Matou Residence, Rin and Sakura now had an additional Servant by their side: Berserker.

Rin looked with some concern at the command spells on Sakura's hand. Just now in the Matou Residence, at Sakura's strong insistence, control of Berserker was now held by Sakura. Although Rin's faction now possessed four Heroic Spirits, Rin still couldn't help but worry about Sakura's safety.

Sakura saw Rin's worried gaze and gave a reassuring smile, indicating that her sister shouldn't worry.'Sister, I can finally help you for once.'

Rin felt the message in Sakura's eyes and also revealed a smile.

However, this heartwarming sisterly soul-to-soul communication did not last long. An already impatient Gilgamesh, showing no sense of atmosphere, broke the mood between the two sisters.

"Girl, you don't intend to just wander aimlessly from now on, do you? If so, this king will not accompany you further."

Rin glanced at Gilgamesh with some annoyance and said crossly, "If you're not satisfied, you can leave first!"

Facing such rudeness from Rin, Gilgamesh first looked enraged, but then he seemed to think of something and regained his composure.

"You! Fine, then this king shall take his leave. Girl, if there's another interesting show, remember to notify this king."

"I know, I know!"

Looking at the impatient Rin, a playful glint appeared in Gilgamesh's eyes.

"Mongrel!"

As he spoke, he turned into golden light and vanished.

"Aaaahhhh! That fellow actually dared to call me a mongrel! Sakura, did you hear that?"

"Um, Sister, is it really okay to treat the king of heroes like that? Didn't you analyze his personality in your previous plan and say we had to coax him?"

"No, if it were before, I would indeed have to coax him. But after he saw something using All the Worlds Treasures, his attitude changed completely. Moreover, he said that I would meet him again in 10 years. Plus, I tested him several times before and he didn't get angry, which proves that in the future, I will meet this fellow again. And it must be that the future me is of some use to him, or something happened that made him very tolerant toward the current me."

Sakura looked at Rin with admiration, her eyes full of worship.

"As expected of Sister!"

Beside them, Medea muttered in a low voice.

"Isn't that something even a fool could see?"

"Huh? Medea, what are you muttering?"

"Nothing, I didn't say anything..."

Night.

A rooftop of a tall building next to the hotel where Kayneth was staying in Fuyuki City.

Rin and Sakura were sitting on the edge of the rooftop, looking toward the hotel next door.

"Sister, will Kiritsugu Emiya really carry out a demolition of the hotel next door?"

"Yes, that man will definitely do it. Kiritsugu Emiya, the Magus Killer—that's the kind of person he is. Look, people are running out below; it's about to start."

After Sakura followed her sister's lead and used magical energy to enhance her vision, she indeed saw a large crowd of people running out from the hotel entrance.

Soon, with a loud boom, the entire hotel collapsed directly. It was quite a professional controlled demolition.

Rin gently waved her hands a few times, using magical energy to summon a breeze to disperse the smoke and dust from the collapsed hotel. She then pulled Sakura back to the center of the rooftop.

Medea and Assassin revealed themselves at the same time.

"Assassin, how are the preparations for the hanging gardens of babylon going?"

"Master, with the materials and help provided by the famous king of heroes, the hanging gardens of babylon will be completed by tomorrow night at the latest."

"Oh? I observed in your attributes that it requires a ritual with three days and three nights of chanting?"

"With the help of Caster's High-Speed Incantation, the ritual has basically been omitted."

"I see. Then let the Holy Grail War end on the third night. Medea, Assassin, please take Sakura and me back. We'll come to see this Clock Tower Lord tomorrow morning."

Inside the Einzbern family castle located in the suburbs of Fuyuki City.

Kiritsugu Emiya sat on the steps at the entrance with a frown, smoking a cigarette. Judging by the cigarette butts scattered on the ground nearby, Kiritsugu Emiya had been sitting there for a long time.

Irisviel walked out of the castle holding a coat. Feeling distressed for him, she draped the coat over Kiritsugu Emiya's shoulders, then hugged him tightly and asked with concern,

"Kiritsugu! Is there a problem?"

Kiritsugu Emiya slowly grasped Irisviel's cold hand and looked at her tenderly.

"Iri, it's not right. This Holy Grail War is too strange. Except for the first night, Kirei Kotomine, Tohsaka Tokiomi, and those from the Matou Family have had no movement at all. I've been using familiars to monitor the church, the Tohsaka Residence, and the Matou Residence, but these past two days, only the two young girls of the Tohsaka Family have been going in and out. There's no movement from the church either. I suspect they are brewing something."

Irisviel hugged Kiritsugu Emiya tightly and gently stroked the man's head, saying,

"Kiritsugu, you will surely obtain the Holy Grail and realize your wish. It's no problem, it's okay!"

"Thank you, Iri. Tomorrow morning, please take Saber to find those two girls."

Kiritsugu Emiya leaned in Irisviel's embrace, thinking quietly: 'It seems the answer can only be found from those two girls.'

Irisviel gave a gentle smile. Naturally kind-hearted, she understood what fate those two girls would meet before a determined Kiritsugu. Although she felt some resistance in her heart, for the sake of her husband, Irisviel still agreed.

"Yes, Kiritsugu, rest early today..."

The third day of the Holy Grail War, early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

After Rin and Sakura finished explaining the plan they needed to execute today to Tohsaka Tokiomi and the Kotomine father and son, they waved their little hands to bid farewell to their parents. Facing the morning dawn, they stepped onto the final day where the Fourth Holy Grail War would enter its climax and conclusion.

At the site of the Fuyuki City Grand Hotel destroyed by the explosion last night, staff members were urgently clearing the ruins.

Suddenly, a strange sensation affected the staff's thoughts. Completely unaware of what had happened, the staff collectively put down their unfinished work, packed their things, and left the scene.

Once all the staff had left the scene under the influence of the bystander-repelling field, Rin and Sakura, holding hands, walked to the center of the ruins where a large mercury sphere was resting quietly.

Rin lightly pinched her skirt, bowed slightly, and performed a lady's curtsy toward the mercury sphere.

"Lord El-Melloi, the heir of the Fuyuki City Three Founding Families' Tohsaka Family has come to visit with her younger sister. Does your Excellency not intend to meet us?"
