[In the video, it's revealed that when Kayh shot Kotomine Risei, the tter didn't die immediately but mao leave a message for Kotomine Kirei before passing away.]
Waver: "I was w earlier, why did Kotomine Risei have a and Seal?"
Kayh: "You really came to participate in the Holy Grail War without knowing anything, didn't you?"
Kayh: "In the previous three Holy Grail Wars, each participating Master wouldn't necessarily use up all their and Seals. Aovers were passed on to the Overseer of the war."
Kayh: "With Kotomine Risei serving as the Overseer, he likely had at least a dozen and Seals in reserve."
Waver: "More than a dozen?!"
This revetio Waver stunned. and Seals weren't just used for Servants but could also amplify their power temporarily. Using over a dozen on a single Servant would create unimagirength.
Kotomine Risei: "The magic of transferring and Seals is passed down by the Overseer, so I would advise everyoo keep any untoward thoughts in check."
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Ihat is correct."
Chihiro: "Tokiomi, you still have faith in your disciple? It looks like your trol over Kirei is slipping away."
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Kirei is an adult. It's only natural he has his own opinions."
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "I have plete trust in my disciple."

["But Kirei…"]
[Golden light flickers as Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, speaks. "If you tinue in this war, Tohsaka Tokiomi will bee your enemy. What will you do about that?"]
[Kirei's eyes flicker with uainty, yet he remains silent.]
[The video pauses.]
[Question: What will Kotomine Kirei do ?]
[A: He stays in the Holy Grail War without inf Tohsaka Tokiomi.]
[B: He informs Tohsaka Tokiomi of his decision and tinues assisting him in the war.]
[C: He kills Tohsaka Tokiomi when his guard is down and joins forces with Gilgamesh.]
[D: He ges his mind, gives up on the Holy Grail War, and leaves Fuyuki City.]
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."
This felt like a sp in the face. Tokiomi, who had been fidently defending Kirei's loyalty, suddenly found himself doubting. Although he wao believe Kirei would choose options B or D, the ses in the video made him feel otherwise. It seemed his orusted disciple was slipping away, all due to Gilgamesh's influence.
Perhaps he'd been right to sider betraying Kirei st night after all.
"What will Kotomine Kirei do, I wonder?"
Waver looked uain. Kotomine Kirei had always been an enigma to the other partits, and no one knew what he was truly capable of.
"Choose C," El-Melloi II advised calmly. "If he's been seduced by that twisted Golden King, he likely has no loyalty left."
"But…, isn't that a bit harsh?"
Waver hesitated. The thought of Kirei killing his own teacher for something as simple as a few words from Gilgamesh seemed inprehensible. Tokiomi had been a father figure to him, after all.
Iskandar chuckled, g Waver on the back. "e now, don't you trust El-Melloi II's insight?"
With some reluce, Waver finally chose C, going along with his panions' decision.
[The answering period has ehe correswer will now be revealed.]
[The video resumes.]
[The se shifts to Tohsaka Tokiomi's office te at night.]
["I came to bid you farewell before my departure," Kirei said, standing in the dim room. Tokiomi hadn't even turned on the lights, and the only illumination came from the moonlight outside. The room had an odd, temosphere.]
["I'm proud to have a disciple like you," Tokiomi replied with a warm smile. "I hope, like your father, you'll tio maintain close ties with the Tohsaka family."]
[Kirei nodded solemnly. "I would be honored."]
["After the Holy Grail War, I'd like you to teach my daughter Rin as her senior."]
[Tokiomi took out a letter and ha to Kirei. "This is my will. I just… have a feeling of unease. If somethio happen to me, please give this to Rin."]
[The letter tained his official endorsement for Rin to bee the Tohsaka head, and instrus for Kirei to be her guardian.]
[Kirei studied the letter closely before slipping it into his pocket. "I will ensure your daughter's safety. You have my word."]
[Tokiomi looked relieved. "Thank you, Kirei."]
[He then took out a box, revealing a beautifully crafted mercury dagger. "This is my parting gift to you, Kirei."]
[Kirei examihe dagger, a strange gleam in his eye. "Thank you, Master."]
["It's gettiokiomi said, moving toward the door. "I hope this didn't make you miss your train."]
["Oh, o worry about that, Master."]
[In one swift, chilling motion, Kirei drew the dagger and plu into Tokiomi's back, pierg his heart.]
[Tokiomi's eyes went wide with shod fusion as he fell to the ground, never fully uanding his betrayal.]
[Kirei's voice was calm, cold. "I didn't book a ticket, after all."]
[Gilgamesh appeared beside him, smirking in amusement. "Pathetitil the end."]
[Kirei g Tokiomi's lifeless body. "Just like my father, he never uood me."]
[The video ends.]
The correswer was C.
[gratutions to Waver, Chihiro, Gilgamesh, Kayh, Artoria, Iskandar, Diarmuid, La, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Emiya Kiritsugu, Kotomine Kirei, Matou Kariya, Bluebeard, Irisviel, Zhang Jiao, Red Hare, El-Melloi II, So-ui, Brynhildr, First Emperor, and Sigurd for obtaining 5 Saint Quartz.]
[The remaining group members answered incorrectly and had 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]
Most in the group had chosen correctly, as the video made it clear that Kirei had already started down a dark path. With Gilgamesh's influe was iable.
In the end, Tohsaka Tokiomi decided to trust Kotomine Kirei, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a mistake.
Chihiro: "Oh, look at that. Even Bluebeard got this ht. Surprising."
Bluebeard: "Enjoy yhter while it sts, Chihiro. I'll see you dead soon enough."
Chihiro: "Same old line, huh?"
Tohsaka Rin: "I 't believe it…"
This Holy Grail War had shattered Rin's view of those she orusted. First, her uncle Kariya, and now Kirei, who she'd thought was her father's loyal student. Why had they all ged so drastically?
Tohsaka Sakura: "Father… he's gone…"
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "..."
Kotomine Risei: "This 't be true! I know my son! He would never do something like this!"
Risei's faith in his son was unshakable. He couldn't believe the betrayal he was seeing, even with evidence before his eyes.
Gilgamesh: "Pitiful old man. Even as your son pluhe knife, you g to this image of him as a saint."
Kotomine Risei: "You twisted tyrant! What did you do to my son? How did you corrupt him like this?"
Gilgamesh: "I did nothing. This is his true nature. All I did was allow him to be himself, free of his hypocritical mask."
Iy, Kirei was watg the video of himself killing Tokiomi with mixed emotions, a strange feeling of etion welling up within him.
Chihiro: "Gilgamesh, I'll give it to you. You really led him down a dark path."
Gilgamesh: "And what exactly do you mean by that, Chihiro?"
Chihiro: "Just that you've pletely missed the point of what Kirei's been searg for."
Kirei Kotomine, lost in thought, pondered over Chihiro's words. Could there really be something he was missing?
