"How are the preparations coming along, Kirei?" Erza asked Kirei, who was elegantly sipping red wine. Actually, Erza also wanted to ask, "Don't you get tired of wearing clothes like a big red packet every day?" In the past six months, Erza had never seen him change colors.
"Everything is ready, My Lord." Kirei looked at the Scarlet Queen before him with admiration. In the past six months, the knowledge this Queen had taught him had benefited him greatly. She also helped him eliminate the Matou Family, allowing him to take over their properties. And the Matou Family's magic circuits were also taken and given to Sakura. This doubled the power of the Tohsaka Family, which was truly wonderful. However, he was also very glad he hadn't sent Sakura to the Matou Family. He didn't expect that old man to actually raise evil things like 'Crest Worms'! Knowing the habits and functions of 'Crest Worms', he felt a chill down his spine. Although he wasn't a qualified father, he didn't have the habit of pushing his daughter into a pit of fire. (A moment of silence for Worm Geezer)
"This time, I've secured the help of an old friend from the Church. And! Now his son also has the qualification to become a Master. This time, we are sure to win." At this point, Kirei could no longer suppress his excitement and laughed happily.
"How are your summoning catalysts prepared?" Erza asked curiously. Her intervention this time had made two classes unknown in advance. She wondered if Rider and Caster would still appear!
"Hmm! This time, I finally found it. The fossilized shed skin of the world's first snake. If I'm not mistaken, it will definitely summon that Servant!" Kirei answered Erza with full confidence.
"Then I wish you good luck." Seeing Kirei already stepping onto the path of self-destruction, Erza couldn't really advise him. "He brought this upon himself, so he should bear it himself!" Kirei would never have imagined that the fellow he summoned would sow discord between him and his disciple, Kirei, ultimately leading to him being stabbed to death by his disciple. Alas! How pitiful! I don't even want to watch.
Turning and disappearing from Kirei's sight, Erza appeared before Sakura. Looking at Sakura's pale face and the cold sweat she was breaking out in from pain, Erza sighed. If you want to gain power, you have to pay the price. "My fellow countryman, I can only help you this much. Whether you get through it depends on yourself."
"Does it still hurt?" Erza asked Sakura, who was lying in bed, politely. Unexpectedly, she poked at the very pain of the one in bed.
"It doesn't hurt! You try it! It doesn't hurt." When the Matou Family's magic circuits were first implanted, the pain was incredibly intense. It was like her body was crushed by a pile driver. Even though two months had passed, it still hurt terribly every day! It made one want to bite off one's tongue and commit suicide!
"Alright! I spoke out of turn." Actually, Erza felt no remorse inside and very much wanted to mock Sakura, who was lying in bed. "I have knowledge from other worlds, yet she still uses this method to gain power. I don't know if she's stupid or foolish!"
"Tsk!" She rolled her eyes at her fellow countryman. "Alas! Unfortunate encounters!"
"Tonight, your daddy is going to summon Gilgamesh. Do you want to go watch?" Erza looked at Sakura, who didn't want to talk to her, and smiled as she extended the invitation to Sakura in bed. But as expected, she received a pair of white eyes. Actually, Erza was doing it on purpose, just to taunt the girl in bed.
"My Lord, could you allow me to wipe Sakura's sweat first?" Just as Erza was about to continue teasing the young girl in bed, a beautiful young woman pushed open the door and walked in. She spoke gently to Erza. This was Tohsaka Aoi, the mother of Sakura and Rin. What a beauty!
"Okay!" Erza smiled slightly at the young woman and walked out of the room, no longer paying attention to the mother-daughter affection inside.
At midnight, in the Tohsaka Family's basement, two men were furtively doing something unknown.
"Kirei," the man looked at his disciple with deep affection, tears of bromance in his eyes.
"Master," the emotionless man named Kirei ignored his master's gaze.
"Let's begin!" Kirei, returning from his clownish state, elegantly walked to the edge of the magic circle and began to inject magic power. Neither of them knew that Erza was watching the commotion from the rooftop, observing just how strong Gilgamesh was.
"Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill,
Repeat five times.
However, when it is full, it is time to discard."
"
Its foundation is silver and iron.
Its basis is stone and the great duke of contracts.
Its ancestor is my former teacher, Schweinorg.
Heavenly wind descends, walls divide it.
Gates open, all four directions close.
From the crown it emerges,
Cycling endlessly on the three-way path to the kingdom.
I declare:
Your body shall obey my command; my fate shall be with your sword.
Answer the call of the Holy Grail, if you are willing to follow this will, this reason.
Here I swear:
I shall accomplish all good deeds in the world.
I shall eradicate all evil deeds in the world.
I am the one who holds its chains.
You are the Seven Heavens, clad in three Great Spells.
Coming from the Wheel of Inhibition,
Guardian of the Scales.
As the incantation was recited, the light from the magic circle grew increasingly dazzling. After an unknown amount of time, the light dissipated. A mist of evaporating water filled the entire room, and Tokiomi excitedly watched the figure within the magic circle.
"We won, Kirei."
"This war, we won," Tokiomi said excitedly, looking at the golden figure, but Erza on the roof gaped in surprise.
"This is," Erza had been 'watching' the arrival of this king. She hadn't expected it to be like this.
