Will one last miracle come to pass?
あと一度だけ奇跡は起こるだろう
Ato ichido dake kiseki wa okoru darou
A gentle voice paints a twisted future
優しい声で描く歪んだ未来
Yasashii koe de egaku yuganda mirai
For the sake of a world where nobody will cry
もう誰も泣かない世界の為に
Mou dare mo nakanai sekai no tame ni
Before reaching the crimson-stained sky
紅く汚された空の何処にも
Akaku kegasareta sora no doko ni mo
My cries and prayers fade and disappear
届かず消える叫びと祈り
Todokazu kieru sakebi to inori
I can go on, abandoning all consolation
慰めは捨てて行ける
Nagusame wa sutete yukeru
The beautiful moonlight shines towards the beginning and vanishes
綺麗な月の光が始まりへと沈み行く
Kirei na tsuki no hikari ga hajimari e to shizumiyuku
Into the distance
その彼方へ

I'll continue to reach out as my eyes are gradually closed
閉ざされてく瞳でまだ遠くへ手を伸ばす
Tozasareteku hitomi de mada tooku e te wo nobasu
I believe in your sorrow
君の嘆きを 信じて
Kimi no nageki wo shinjite
Killed?!
Impossible...
Why would they kill the priest?
We can't allow this...
We can't allow this!
Why didn't you tell Tokiomi?
What do you want?
I pity your father.
He died, believing his son to be a holy man.
No...
Might that have been his salvation?
Does your father's death inspire no feeling within you?
He was killed, you know.
Shouldn't you at least look a little sad?
Yes, it bothers me to no end.
Does it really?
Is it because you didn't get to kill him yourself?
Saber...
Irisviel, how are you feeling?
Looks like I made you worry.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
As long as you really are all right, I could ask for nothing more.
But...
It's okay.
This presence is Maiya-san.
From Tohsaka?
Yes.
Tohsaka Tokiomi requests an alliance.
An alliance? Now?
Tohsaka must be uneasy at the thought of dealing with Rider and Berserker.
We appear to be the team most inclined to form an alliance, so he invited us to meet.
In other words, he thinks us to be the weakest compared to the others.
Tohsaka said he wishes to meet tonight, at the Fuyuki City church.
Tohsaka Tokiomi has been making elaborate preparations for this Grail War from the very early stages.
It's also likely that he's controlling Assassin's Master, Kotomine Kirei, from the shadows.
If Tohsaka does exert some influence over Kotomine Kirei, then we cannot ignore his offer.
Indeed.
Kotomine Kirei...
Remember his name, Saber.
If there is anyone who can defeat Kiritsugu and win the Holy Grail War,
it is Kotomine Kirei.
We'll accept his invitation.
Father?
Father!
Rin, your father would like to speak with you.
Rin.
As you grow up, keep the Association in your debt.
Beyond that, I'll leave the rest to your judgment.
You'll be fine on your own.
One day, the Holy Grail will appear.
It is the responsibility of the Tohsaka family to obtain it.
Above all...
If you wish to be a Mage, that is the path you must follow.
Rin, take this.
Well, I'll be going now.
You know what to do from now on, right?
Yes.
Goodbye, Father.
First, please allow me to thank you for coming at my behest.
Let me introduce you.
This is Kotomine Kirei, my student.
While we were once competitors for the Grail, all of that is now in the past.
He has lost his Servant and yielded his rights as a Master.
The Grail War is now heading toward its conclusion.
The remaining teams are, as anticipated, the Masters of the Founding Three Families, along with one outsider.
Now, how would you appraise the current situation?
The Grail must not be allowed to fall into outside hands.
The two of us should be able to agree on that much.
Any alliance is out of the question.
However, if you wish to discuss the order in which we deal with our enemies,
we may be able to come to some agreement.
Elaborate.
We can settle things with the Tohsaka camp after we defeat the other Masters.
That's a proposal our side can agree to.
So a temporary, conditional ceasefire?
A fair compromise.
We have two conditions.
First, you will share any information you have concerning Rider and his Master.
Very well.
Second, you will remove Kotomine Kirei from the Grail War.
Could you explain why you'd want that?
There is plenty of bad blood between the Einzbern camp and the Executor.
If the Tohsaka camp continues to accept him,
we will find ourselves unable to trust you under any circumstances.
What's the meaning of this?
Kirei.
Well?
How do you like Kiritsugu's present?
It's closer to a horse than a car.
It seems to suit me better.
I shall ride ahead and ensure that the route is safe.
Let us go as well.
M-Madam?
What's wrong?
Go ahead, Maiya-san.
But...
Tohsaka will realize something is amiss.
This isn't unexpected...
It was inevitable.
In fact, it's a miracle that I've been able to function as a human for this long.
I was a homunculus created for the Grail War.
You know that, right?
Yes.
Old Acht gave the vessel an instinct for self-preservation,
so that it would avoid all danger and safeguard the Grail to its completion.
He disguised the vessel under the veil of "Irisviel".
That's what I am.
But that's...
Does that mean...?
Very soon, I will go back to being what I was.
Next time, I won't even be able to talk to you like this.
That's why Kiritsugu left Saber's scabbard with me.
Avalon...
Are you familiar with what it does?
It halts aging and has infinite healing power.
That's what I've been told.
Its effects are what have stopped the shell that is me from collapsing.
Of course, it can't work as well when Saber isn't nearby.
Why are you telling me all this?
Hisau Maiya.
You would never pity me.
You'd acknowledge me.
That's why.
Madam, I...
I have always thought of you as a more distant figure.
That's not true.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Even at the cost of my own life...
Irisviel, I will protect you to the very end.
So...
Please die for Emiya Kiritsugu.
So his dream can become a reality.
Thank you.
I would've preferred to have known of your dealings with the Einzberns.
I'm afraid I have no choice.
You'll withdraw from the Grail War, Kirei.
Emiya Kiritsugu...
Who are you?
Will I leave this place without ever finding out?
You're still pondering about it?
How slow could you possibly be, Kirei?
The Grail beckons you still.
And you, yourself, still long to fight.
For as long as I can remember, I've lived my life searching for just one thing.
I've spent all my time on it and endured much pain, but all of it has come to naught.
And yet, I feel that I am closer to the answer now than ever before.
Why do you still hesitate after all that self-examination?
I have a feeling...
...that I will destroy myself when I've learned all the answers.
I see. Thank you.
Did you just learn of some exciting new information?
I've discovered the location of the Einzbern hideout.
You're incredible, Kirei!
You honestly amaze me!
You were going to continue this whole time.
I did hesitate.
I was prepared to stop.
But in the end, you're absolutely right, King of Heroes.
I know of no other remedy than to keep asking that question.
What is that?
A gift from my father.
Jn424.
The Gospel of John.
God is Spirit,
and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
However, Kirei...
A very serious problem remains.
Should you participate in the Grail War of your own will, Tohsaka Tokiomi becomes your enemy.
In other words, you're in the same room as an enemy Servant with nothing to defend yourself with.
Quite a dire situation you're in, aren't you?
No.
I've thought of a way to beg for my life.
Oh?
Gilgamesh...
Let me tell you the truth behind the Holy Grail War.
What?
The ritual here, in Fuyuki, is an attempt to open a passage to the Root through the sacrifice of the souls of seven Heroic Spirits.
One can activate the Great Grail by killing all seven Servants.
Yes, all seven.
You understand?
That's why my master tried so hard to avoid using his Command Spells.
He needs them to force his own Servant to commit suicide once all the battles have ended.
So you're saying the loyalty Tokiomi has shown me was all a lie?
In the end, my master is simply a Mage to the core.
He may worship a Heroic Spirit, but he harbors no illusions about his idols.
Tokiomi...
You have finally proven your worth.
At last, that boring little man will be able to entertain me.
What will you do now, King of Heroes?
Are you still going to remain loyal to my master and punish me for rebelling?
I don't know about that.
Disloyal he may be, but Tokiomi still supplies me with mana.
Abandoning my Master would hinder my ability to remain materialized.
Oh, that reminds me.
There happens to be a Master with Command Spells but no partner, searching for a Servant unbound by contract.
You're right, now that you mention it.
But is that man a worthy Master in the eyes of the King of Heroes?
He will suffice.
He's slightly flawed in that he's rather stiff, but he has great potential for growth.
He may prove to be a fine source of entertainment for me someday.
I've been waiting, Kirei.
I came to have a word before leaving Fuyuki.
I'm still proud to have had you as my student.
I hope you will maintain good relations with the Tohsaka, as your late father did in life.
What do you say?
I could ask for nothing more.
Once this Grail War is over, I'd like you to help me train Rin as her senior apprentice.
It's a simple one, but this is a will of sorts.
I thought it wise to prepare for the worst.
It leaves the Tohsaka family headship to Rin and names you as her guardian until she comes of age.
Leave it to me.
I will do all I can to look after your daughter.
Thank you, Kirei.
What is this?
It's my gift to you.
Open it.
It's an Azoth dagger.
It symbolizes your mastery of the Tohsaka family magics and marks the end of your apprenticeship.
You are far too kind to me.
I cannot even begin to express my gratitude, my master.
It is me who must thank you, Kotomine Kirei.
I can now prepare for the final battle.
Look at the time.
I'm sorry to have kept you.
I hope you will make it in time for your flight.
No.
You need not worry, my master.
I never bought the ticket.
Master...
You're just like my father.
You never understood me, even until the very end.
Such a boring ending.
Look at how stupid his dying face looks.
He did have a Servant in spirit form at hand.
I don't blame him for lowering his guard.
So you've already learned to jest.
That progress is worth praising.
Well, Kirei?
Do you feel slightly better about missing out on the chance to kill your father?
Do you really have no qualms about this, Gilgamesh, King of Heroes?
As long as you continue to amuse me.
Otherwise, Kirei...
You're the one who should be questioning his own resolve.
Thou shalt come under my command,
and my fate shall be thy sword.
Abiding by the summons of the Holy Grail,
if thou dost accede to this will and reason...
I hereby swear.
Thy offering shall be my flesh, Kotomine Kirei...
My new Master.
Now, Kirei.
Let us begin.
Put an end to this farce however you see fit.
I shall give you the Grail as your reward.
Consider it done, King of Heroes.
May you have your fill of amusement.
Until the moment I find the answer I seek,
I shall gladly play the fool.
