Fuyuki City.
In the future Emiya residence, after a day of hard work, Artoria was enjoying a hearty dinner.
Watching Artoria's impressive appetite, Irisviel von Einzbern, seated beside her, managed a weak smile.
As a homunculus created by the Einzbern family to house the Lesser Grail, Irisviel's condition deteriorated with the progression of the Holy Grail War and the deaths of Servants.
She would eventually meet her demise as the Lesser Grail, which contained the souls of defeated Servants, continued to grow within her.
"Saber, thank you so much for your help today."
Due to her weakening body, Irisviel could only watch Artoria's movements without offering assistance.
In truth, Irisviel's mobility was severely limited.
The souls of three Servants now resided within her.
"It's nothing, Irisviel," Artoria said earnestly, setting down her bowl. "As your knight, it's my duty to help."
"Thank you."
Irisviel smiled at Artoria's sincerity.
However, her expression quickly turned somber.
"I wonder how Kiritsugu is doing..."
Reflecting on the events of the past few days, both Irisviel and Artoria felt a sense of bewilderment.
Everything had happened so quickly, so unexpectedly.
It was as if they were mere supporting characters in a story, existing solely to highlight the protagonist's actions.
Despite their active participation in the war, they had achieved nothing.
Without their knowledge, Gilgamesh, Hassan-i-Sabbah, and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne had all been eliminated.
Of the remaining three factions, two resided within the heavily fortified Matou residence, while Iskandar spent his days soaring through the skies, making it impossible for Kiritsugu Emiya to pinpoint his location.
This left Kiritsugu feeling powerless and frustrated, unable to find an opening to strike.
Both Irisviel and Artoria had sensed his growing anxiety during their recent conversations.
"Kiritsugu believes the mastermind behind all this is hiding within the Matou residence, but they seem to be extremely wary of him. Any electronic surveillance devices near their home are rendered useless."
"As for magical surveillance, it's even more futile against the wise Merlin."
"Furthermore, Kiritsugu suspects they have a unique method of monitoring their surroundings, as he's always targeted whenever he approaches the Matou residence."
Irisviel sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. "This situation has been troubling Kiritsugu deeply."
"Merlin..."
Artoria muttered, her thoughts drawn to the name Irisviel had mentioned.
She harbored complex emotions towards Merlin.
Despite their shared past, they were now adversaries in this Holy Grail War.
"If only Merlin were on our side..." Artoria sighed wistfully.
