...

"Has it begun?"

Mika landed the Gordius Wheel smoothly on the ground, his gaze fixed on the ongoing battle, a somber expression on his face.

It was a particularly tragic fight.

Two individuals, denied redemption, clashed fiercely.

Each driven by their own desperate desires.

One sought to overcome all enemies, achieve ultimate victory, and claim the wish-granting Holy Grail.

The other yearned for a final, all-out battle, culminating in death at the hands of their opponent.

Perhaps it was a mutual longing for release.

Shaking his head, Mika turned away and addressed Waver. "Let's go. We're leaving."

"Huh? Aren't we going to watch?"

"No."

Looking up at the dark sky, Mika spoke with a resolute tone. "This battle doesn't need witnesses."

"Even if it did, it wouldn't be us."

With that, Mika steered the Gordius Wheel towards the central altar of Ryudou Temple.

"You're back, Mika?"

Merlin exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief, as he saw Mika's unscathed form. "You defeated Iskandar just like that? Without any injuries?"

"Can't you tell whether I'm injured or not?"

Mika chuckled, jumping down from the Gordius Wheel. He then turned his attention to Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel von Einzbern.

"Yo, good evening to you both!"

"Uh... Good evening?" Irisviel responded hesitantly, while Kiritsugu remained silent.

Mika simply smiled and said nothing more, his focus shifting to the Lesser Grail in the distance.

He held no particular fondness or animosity towards Kiritsugu Emiya.

While Kiritsugu possessed a cold and ruthless nature, as long as he didn't harm Mika's friends, Mika had no intention of interfering with him.

As for why he had summoned Kiritsugu to witness the descent of the Grail?

It was simply because Kiritsugu was Artoria's Master.

There was no other reason.

"Gabriel!"

"I'm here!"

Upon hearing Mika's call, Gabriel, who had received her instructions earlier, flew towards the Grail suspended in mid-air.

"Mika, now that you're back, I'll go check on Artoria."

"Alright, don't forget to bring my sword back."

Merlin couldn't help but roll his eyes at Mika's words.

The sword Mika referred to was Lancelot's holy blade, Arondight.

As a weapon master with a penchant for collecting powerful artifacts, how could Mika possibly resist claiming the holy sword wielded by his own Servant?

Arondight had already been converted into one of Mika's Nen weapons.

However, Lancelot possessed the same ability, "Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands," which allowed him to temporarily manifest it as his Noble Phantasm once more.
