[As Kotomine Risei was ting the spell, a and Seal suddenly appeared on Kayh's hand.]

  ["Please tio fight with honor as a Master."]

  ["Bang!!!"]

  [A gunsh out, and Kotomine Risei fell to the ground in a pool of blood.]

  [Kayh had shot Kotomine Risei, his expression twisted with fury.]

  [Video paused.]

  [Question: Why did Kayh kill Kotomine Risei?]

  Kotomine Risei: "I'm dead!"

  Kotomine Kirei: "..."

  Kayh: "Uh, this…"

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Kayh, why would you do this?"

  Kayh: "Don't ask me; I have no idea."

  The version of himself in the video seemed to have fallen into areme state. Kayh couldn't prehend his own as.

  Moreover, he was using a pistol, something he'd always looked down upon as crude. What could have possibly driven him to this point?

  Waver: "Could it be that the professor found out Kotomine Risei was beiful and got angry…"

  Tohsaka Rin: "Isn't that a bit of a streturder?"

  Emiya Kiritsugu: "It was to prevent anyone else from obtaining the and Seals."

  Kayh: "Ha! That's something you would think of, Emiya. Don't assume everyone shares your ruthlessness."

  [Ding! gratutions to Emiya Kiritsugu for answering correctly. He receives 3 Saint Quartz.]

  Kayh: "…"

  Kotomine Risei: "..."

  Waver: "...so the professor in the video really did get pushed to the edge."

  Kayh: "No, that couldn't have been me!"

  Impossible. There was no way he, Kayh Archibald, would fall to such lows like Emiya Kiritsugu.

  [Video tinues.]

  ["There's only one and Seal left, and the situation is dire. I 't let anyone else acquire it."]

  [Kayh, still in his wheelchair, slowly left the church.]

  Kayh: "…"

  The evidence was damning.

  He now wished he could reato the video and strangle himself. This was beyond embarrassing.

  [In an abandoned building, Kayh's new base…]

  [Kayh, having just learhat So-ui had been captured, begaing his anger on Diarmuid.]

  ["You useless fool! You talk about chivalry, but you 't even protect a woman!"]

  ["Your so-called 'honor' is ughable."]

  [Diarmuid, feeling the weight of his failure, bowed his head. "I am deeply ashamed."]

  [Kayh was uing, tinuing his tirade: "For all your boasts, you 't even proteaster. What good are you as a Servant?"]

  Diarmuid couldn't ehe scolding any longer. He tried to expin, "Five me, my lord, but I don't have a formal tract with Lady So-ui, which limits my ability to sense her dition."

  ["A you didn't think to be more vigint?!"]

  [Kayh was ahan ever.]

  [Diarmuid replied, "The mana flow hasn't been severed. Lady So-ui should still be alive."]

  [Kayh: "Knowing that she's alive is pointless if we 't find her."]

  [The argumeween them escated, their tension palpable.]

  ---

  Diarmuid: "..."

  Kayh: "..."

  Curse it all. Why did today's video have to focus so mu his blunders? Why did it only show his worst moments?

  Waver: "Professor, it looks like you really do resent Diarmuid a lot."

  Tohsaka Rin: "Even if he failed to protect his fiancée, scolding him this much seems excessive."

  Chihiro: "Let's not fet the iioween So-ui and Diarmuid ierday's video."

  Waver: "...Ah, that's right."

  Tohsaka Rin: "My dolences, Professor Kayh."

  Kayh: "What nonsense are you all talking about?"

  Diarmuid: "Lady So-ui and I have no such retionship."

  So-ui: "… …"

  [After the heated exge, Kayh began to bme himself for letting So-ui participate in the war.]

  [Diarmuid tried to sole him, only to be further insulted by Kayh.]

  [Kayh brought up Diarmuid's historical grudge with his former lord, Finn.]

  [Clearly, Kayh was aware of So-ui's feelings toward Diarmuid, which fueled his rese.]

  [His hurtful remarks struck a nerve, almost pushing Diarmuid to the breaking point as he ched his red spear tightly in frustration.]

  [Kayh noticed Diarmuid's rea but remained uurbed, fshing the and Seal as a reminder of his trol.]

  [It was evident that Kayh had abandoned all pretenses of honor and civility.]

  [He tinued his verbal assault, taunting Diarmuid mercilessly.]

  [Diarmuid eventually sensed someone approag, f him to hold back his anger.]

  Gilgamesh: "Kayh, you're rather impressive at pushing people's buttons."

  The First Emperor: "I think we o have a serious talk, Kayh."

  Iskandar: "So, this is how yard us Servants, is it?"

  Earlier in the video, during his rant against Diarmuid, Kayh had made it clear that he viewed Heroic Spirits as mere tools, a ent that had angered several of them.

  Kayh: "…"

  This was the sed time today he wished he could dive into the video and silence his past self.

  All he wanted was to berate Diarmuid. Why did he have to offend all Heroic Spirits in the process?

  Now he was in hot water.

  Kayh: "You're all reading too muto this. That was only something said in the heat of the moment. It doesn't reflect my true beliefs."

  Artoria: "If it's something you said, then it's part of who you are."

  Kayh: "…"

  Fine. Perhaps it was better to stay silent for the rest of the video.

  [A car pulled up outside the abandoned building—it was Irisviel and Artoria.]

  [They had arrived after receiving a message from Emiya Kiritsugu.]

  [Diarmuid stepped out of the building, ready to front the intruders.]

  [Immediately, Diarmuid asked about So-ui's whereabouts, but Artoria and Irisviel were clueless.]

  [Realizing they were telling the truth, Diarmuid stood down.]

  Waver: "Something feels off here."

  Chihiro: "It's a trap, clear as day. How did you not realize this, Diarmuid?"

  Diarmuid: "..."

  ---

  [Diarmuid: "Saber, you didn't e here just to chat, did you?"]

  [Artoria: "Of course not. I'm here to finish our duel from before."]

  [Diarmuid raised an eyebrow, replying, "You've already used your Noble Phantasm oonight to deal with Caster. You must be low on mana."]

  Everyog felt the same way.

  [Artoria reverted to her blue armor, Excalibur in hand, and smiled slightly. "Then no one else will interfere with us tonight. This duel shall be ours alone."]

  ["Ihough it's nearly dawn, this is the perfect opportunity."]

  [Diarmuid grinned, saying, "Saber, nothing soothe my restlessness like yhting spirit."]

  --

  Chihiro: "It's supposed to be a duel, but your words make it sound like a fession."

  Tohsaka Rin: "I 't deny, it does feel strangely romantic."

  Artoria: "Really? It seems normal to me."

  Irisviel: "Uh, well… I suppose… it could be interpreted that way."

  [Without further dey, Artoria and Diarmuid engaged in their sed knightly duel.]

  [Though Artoria's mana reserves were depleted, Diarmuid had lost one of his Noble Phantasms, evening the odds for both sides.]

  [Video paused.]

  [Question: What will be the oute of the duel between Artoria and Diarmuid?]

  Waver: "Are we supposed to predict the oute again?"

  Tohsaka Rin: "Isn't it obvious? Saber will surely win."

  [Ding! gratutions to Tohsaka Rin for partially answering the question correctly. She receives 1 Saint Quartz.]

  Tohsaka Rin: "＼(＠＾０＾＠)/!"

  Diarmuid: "It seems I lose in the end."

  Artoria: "It's just a video. Victory or defeat here doesn't define us."

  Waver: "But the question only gave you part of the points. We still o know how Saber wins."

  Iskandar: "What's there to expin? She wins through skill aermination, as any true knight would."

  [Ding! The queror King answered incorrectly. 1 Saint Quartz will be deducted.]

  Iskandar: "Hmm? What does that mean?"

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It suggests that Saber didn't win through the duel itself."

  Waver: "Could it be… Emiya Kiritsugu took the opportunity to attack my teacher, Kayh?"

  Chihiro: "Knowing Kiritsugu, that's highly likely."

  Emiya Kiritsugu: "I used So-ui as leverage to force Kayo order Diarmuid to it suicide with the and Seal, then killed both Kayh and So-ui."

  [Ding! gratutions to Emiya Kiritsugu for answering correctly. He receives 3 Saint Quartz.]

  Kayh: "!!!"

  So-ui: "!!!"
