"So, what exactly is it that you wanted?"

Leaning back on the living room sofa, Merlin asked with a sigh.

Mika had pulled him aside on their way to the underground library.

But even after arriving in the living room and spending over ten minutes there, Mika had only been silently sipping tea, without uttering a word about his intentions.

This left Merlin feeling puzzled.

After all, Mika's intervention had disrupted his and Mellie's agreement. As the magic teacher of another version of himself, Merlin was keen on maintaining a respectable image.

"Don't worry, we already called out to Mellie in the underground library before we left, and she responded. So, this has nothing to do with you," Mika said with a placating smile.

Meanwhile, he thought to himself, "Mellie should be done tidying up by now, right? Then it should be fine to let Merlin go down there."

"But what excuse should I use?"

"Ah, I've got it!"

Suddenly recalling a previous idea, Mika declared to Merlin, "Actually, I plan to take Diarmuid's head tonight."

The previous night, while Iskandar had gone to find Artoria for a "drinking and philosophical discussion," Mika had learned from the damage to the Einzbern Castle and Waver's account that the situation with Artoria was unfolding as it had in the original storyline.

Two nights prior, during Mika's decisive battle with Gilgamesh, Kayneth had launched an attack on the Einzbern Castle with Diarmuid, Kiritsugu Emiya, and Artoria.

During that battle, Kiritsugu had severely injured Kayneth, the Clock Tower's prodigy.

This battle not only resulted in the failure of Kayneth's operation but also cost him his identity as a magus.

The Mystic Code Kiritsugu used to cripple Kayneth was called the Origin Bullet.

It was an anti-magus weapon crafted by Kiritsugu using the powdered remains of his own ribs.

In the Type-Moon universe, the concept of "Origin" existed.

Origin represented a person's essence and inherent nature.

Kiritsugu's Origin was "Severing and Binding."

Therefore, any weapon created using his body, such as the Origin Bullet made from his rib bone powder, would tear apart the blood vessels and other structures near the target's Origin upon entering their body and then randomly reassemble them.

If it were fired into a magus, their Magic Circuits would suffer the same fate as ordinary blood vessels – first torn apart and then haphazardly reconnected.

As everyone knew, Magic Circuits were incredibly delicate and intricate virtual organs.

Therefore, when a magus's Magic Circuits were severed and randomly reconnected, they would short-circuit.

And they could not be repaired.

According to the original plot, Kayneth's Command Spells would soon be stolen by his fiancée.

He would endure considerable hardship as a result.

Ultimately, Diarmuid would not fulfill his promise to Artoria, unable to conclude their unfinished duel.
