"Huh? You're saying that Kiritsugu Emiya and Kirei Kotomine are fighting at the foot of Mount Enzou?"

Hearing Mellie's report, Mika, who had been trying to alleviate his boredom by reading, suddenly sat up with excitement.

Although the Holy Grail War hadn't officially concluded, in Mika's eyes, it was nearing its end.

All he needed to do was wait patiently for Gabriel to extract one-sixth of the black mud from the Holy Grail and then seal the opening.

Therefore, Mika found himself with nothing to do.

He felt that the Holy Grail War he participated in had a rather lackluster ending.

This could only be blamed on Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, dying too early.

That was why he was so excited upon receiving Mellie's report.

Because Merlin had transformed the entire Mount Enzou into a massive magic circle, Mellie, who had gained a considerable understanding of Type-Moon magecraft, took on the task of monitoring the surrounding area to hone her skills.

She had deployed numerous familiars around Mount Enzou to observe the situation outside the magic circle.

Therefore, when Kiritsugu Emiya and Kirei Kotomine clashed, she was immediately aware of it.

"So, what was the outcome?" Mika asked eagerly.

"The outcome? Kiritsugu Emiya gained the upper hand. After all, besides his own abilities, he also has Irisviel von Einzbern supporting him. He's not like Artoria, bound by a knight's code of honor."

Artoria frowned upon hearing Mellie's words.

She suddenly realized that this otherworldly Merlin was just as annoying as the original.

After becoming Mika's Servant, Merlin took her aside and explained Mika and his companions' unique circumstances.

After all, as long-term partners, basic information sharing was necessary.

Therefore, Artoria naturally learned about the connection between Mellie and Merlin.

As a result, Artoria held some fondness for Mellie.

But now, it seemed that fondness might have been premature.

"However, although Kiritsugu Emiya emerged victorious, Kirei Kotomine didn't die," Mellie continued.

"Just as Kirei Kotomine was cornered, his father, Risei Kotomine, a priest of the Holy Church, rescued him."

"Risei Kotomine?" Mika inquired curiously.

In his opinion, even Tokiomi Tohsaka had a higher chance of rescuing Kirei than his own father.

After all, Risei had lived with his son for decades without truly understanding the darkness that lurked within him.

"I understand what you mean. But perhaps the incident with Kirei Kotomine earlier changed Risei Kotomine's perception of him?" Mellie suggested.

"That's certainly a possibility," Mika said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

As the priest responsible for the Fuyuki region, and someone bold enough to participate in the Holy Grail War and even resort to cheating, Risei Kotomine couldn't be as naive as he appeared.

It was likely that Kirei Kotomine's exceptional acting skills had deceived him.

However, Kirei's recent actions must have raised suspicions.
