Iskandar: "So, Gilgamesh's final ending should be defeat, right?"

  Waver: "Well, that seems very likely. After all, he hasn't been shown doing mu the video."

  Gilgamesh: "Ha! How could this king be defeated by such triflis?"

  Waver: "Just ignore him. He's just being stubborn."

  Iskandar: "e now, Gilgamesh. There's no shame in admitting your failure."

  Gilgamesh: "Then watch closely, mongrels, and withe truth."

  [The time for answering questions ends, and the video resumes.]

  ["Uh… what is this pce?"]

  [In the charred ruins of Fuyuki City, a figure suddenly sat up. It was Kotomine Kirei.]

  ["What a troublesome man."]

  [Nearby, a golden figure sat amongst the rubble, entirely naked, looking oddly out of pce. It was her than Gilgamesh.]

  ["It took me quite some effort to dig you out from uhe ruins."]

  Tohsaka Rin: "Ah! What is wrong with you?! You exhibitionist!"

  Artoria: "Gilgamesh, is this truly how far you've fallen?"

  Ishtar: "Well, to be fair, his body is kind of… perfect. But still, this is embarrassing even for him."

  Iskandar: "Hahaha! Gilgamesh, didn't you cim you didn't have any straishes? And now you're prang about without so much as a shirt or pants!"

  Gilgamesh: "Silence, you fools! This disgraceful dispy in the video is not reflective of me!"

  Even Gilgamesh himself was visibly unfortable as the mog tinued.

  Gilgamesh: "What in the name of Uruk was I thinking in that se? I have tless garments ie of Babylon! There's no excuse for such a dispy!"

  Kayh: "Your priorities are all wrong. Shouldn't we focus on Kotomine Kirei? Wasn't he killed by Emiya Kiritsugu? How is he still alive?"

  Waver: "Yeah, and what about that bck mud? It seems ected to all of this."

  Chihiro: "Of course, it's the bck mud. It isn't just toxic, it's deeply ected to Angra Mainyu's influence."

  ["Gilgamesh, what happened?"]

  [Kotomine Kirei looked around in bewilderment, the desotion of Fuyuki City stretg endlessly before him.]

  ["Who knows?"]

  [Gilgamesh shrugged nontly, seated on the rubble. "That foul mud spat me out. It seems that fate has decided I must walk among mortals again. Perhaps the gods themselves wish for me to rule this age."]

  ["You… you've obtained a body!"]

  [Kotomine Kirei finally realized what had ged.]

  ["Yes, though this form isirely of my choosing."]

  [Gilgamesh looked at himself with mild disdain. "To think those fools sought to use that mud as a wishing mae. The entire ordeal was a farce from beginning to end."]

  Iskandar: "Hahaha! So Gilgamesh is the one who bes in the end. How fitting!"

  Iskandar: "Perhaps I should take a dip in that mud myself."

  Waver: "Don't even joke about that! Do you have any idea how dangerous that stuff is?!"

  Iskandar: "Rex, it was just a jest."

  Gilgamesh: "Hmph. To be given flesh in this manner? Hardly an honor. Yet, it suits my purposes."

  Chihiro: "Cssic Gilgamesh. Being from the situation while pretending it's beh him."

  Waver: "So, the ao the question was C… I got it wrong."

  El-Melloi II: "It was a tricky one. Who would have guessed the mud would grant him a body?"

  ["Wait… shouldn't I be dead?"]

  [Kotomine Kirei suddenly remembered being fatally shot by Kiritsugu. He touched his chest instinctively.]

  ["beat."]

  [Kotomine looked at Gilgamesh in shock. "What did you do to me, Gilgamesh?"]

  ["Don't drag me into this."]

  [Gilgamesh raised his hands in mock denial. "From what I tell, you were definitely dead. However, it seems the mud's influence defied all logid bound your existeo this pne."]

  ["So, this pave me life."]

  [Kotomine murmured as he processed the events. "All the Servants are gone. Does this mean we're the victors?"]

  ["Kirei, open your eyes. Look at this ending closely."]

  [Gilgamesh gestured to the burning city around them, his tone almost amused.]

  ["If the Grail truly grants wishes, Kotomine Kirei, then what you see before you is what it has given you."]

  ["Oh…"]

  [Kotomine Kirei suddenly broke into a chilling ugh, his voice eg amidst the ruins.]

  ["What's wrong with me?"]

  [His ughter grew more unhinged as he surveyed the devastation around him.]

  ["How utterly evil… how cruel this is! But this destru, this suffering… it brings me joy."]

  ["Such filth and distortion—this is my wish."]

  Kotomine Risei: "Kirei… you…"

  Kotomine Risei was horrified and bewildered by his son's words.

  Waver: "This is insane. He's pletely lost it."

  Kayh: "Well, he was resurrected by the foulest substance imaginable. How could anyone escape that unscathed?"

  Chihiro: "Not to mention the person whispering in his ear isly a voice of reason."

  Gilgamesh: "Hmph. I merely allowed him to see his true nature."

  Kotomine Kirei: "Gilgamesh, I don't believe my true nature is quite as twisted as you cim."

  Despite his words, the current-day Kotomine Kirei appeared oddly calm, as if the events of the video were nothing more than a tedious drama. His i seemed entirely detached, more preoccupied with his ary skills than the chaos depicted.

  ["Satisfied now, Kirei?"]

  [Gilgamesh turo him with a faint smirk.]

  ["No, it's not enough. This… this answer isn't enough."]

  [Kirei's tone grew eerily measured as he tinued. "I've sought answers all my life, but to simply have the truth hao me without the jourhat's uable."]

  [He reached doicked up a tattered red cloth from the ground, throwing it tilgamesh.]

  ["For such a straion to produce this oute, there must be a simple reason. I must seek it out. I must spend my life finding it."]

  ["You never cease to amuse me."]

  [Gilgamesh ed the cloth around himself, finally c his bare form.]

  ["Very well. I, Gilgamesh, shall bear wito this quest of yours, a quest so profound it might even found the gods themselves."]

  ["I will meet the evil of this world one day. And when I do, I will witness it with my own eyes. Its birth, its purpose, its proof."]

  [At that moment, Kotomiiced something in the distance. Emiya Kiritsugu was staggering through the ruins, holding Avalon in one hand, his expression bnk.]

  [Kotomine instinctively tensed, preparing to engage, but Kiritsugu didn't even g him. Instead, he walked toward another part of the wreckage, digging furiously.]

  [Moments ter, Kiritsugu pulled a red-haired boy from the rubble, a boy who was still ging to life.]

  ["It's time to leave, Kirei."]

  [Gilgamesh turned away disiedly, already walking toward the horizon.]

  [Little did he know, that boy would grow up to be his nemesis.]

  [Kotomine followed Gilgamesh relutly but gnced bae st time, as though trying to etch Kiritsugu's fato his memory.]

  [The correswer is C.]

  [gratutions to Chihiro, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Zhang Jiao, and Sigurd for earning 3 Saint Quartz.]

  [Those who answered incorrectly will lose 1 Saint Quartz.]

  Waver: "So that boy was Shirou. It all eow."

  Irisviel: "That child will carry Kiritsugu's ideals forward…"

  Kayh: "Gilgamesh remains in the real world? That's… uling."

  Waver: "Maybe it won't be so bad. I mean, he might not cause too much trouble, right?"

  El-Melloi II: "You'd hope, but with Gilgamesh, nothing's ever certain."

  Gilgamesh: "I am not some senseless killer, mongrels. My as are always deliberate."

  Tohsaka Rin: "Do you even believe the nonsense you just spouted?"

  ["The sed question is over, and the third question will now begin."]

  ["This is a timed quiswer question."]

  ["Please watch the video and answer immediately after it ends. The first person to answer correctly will receive 3 Saint Quartz. An incorreswer will result in a dedu of 1 Saint Quartz."]

  ["If no one answers within 1 mihe system will randomly selee person to answer."]

  [The video starts.]

  ["I remember his face. It was a face full of tears, but he was smiling, a man who was genuinely happy to find a living person."]

  [The se resumed from the aftermath of the disaster, this time from Shirou Emiya's perspective.]

  ["He looked so overjoyed, almost as though it wasn't me who was saved, but himself."]

  ["Alive, alive, alive…"]

  [The s showed Emiya Kiritsugu holding the small, fragile body of Shirou Emiya, his face streaked with tears as he embraced the boy tightly.]

  ["He seemed to be thanking someone, someone I couldn't see. His voice cracked as he said 'thank you' again and again, in a tohat even I, on the brink of death, envied."]

  ["He said it was great to have found me."]

  ["He said that even if it was just one person, that person was his salvation."]

  [The se shifted abruptly, showing a grown-up Shirou sitting beside the deathbed of Emiya Kiritsugu, tears streaming down his face.]

  [Kiritsugu's frail figure y motionless, his breaths shallow and weak as the life ebbed from him.]
