In the Fuyuki suburbs, Rin descended rapidly from the sky and landed in the courtyard of the Tohsaka Annex. Just as she was about to enter, she looked in surprise at Kirei Kotomine emerging from the mansion.
"Kirei, why are you here so late?"
Kirei Kotomine looked calmly at Rin and replied,
"Rin, I arrived this afternoon. I came to ask if you needed me to participate in the Holy Grail War to assist you."
Rin looked at Kirei Kotomine before her and gave him a smile.
"That won't be necessary, Kirei. Please don't trouble yourself with participating this time! You have Kallen and Shirou now, so there's no need to accompany me on this risky venture!"
"Mm. Then I shall take my leave."
"Goodbye, Kirei!"
After Rin entered the mansion, Kirei Kotomine also arrived at the road outside the annex. Under the bright moonlight, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He took a test tube containing blood from his sleeve.
"Lord, forgive me. I have stolen a friend's possession. But for Shirou's sake, it is worth it. Shirou, do not disappoint me. It has been so long since I last experienced supreme pleasure, hahahaha!"
Kirei stopped laughing, put on the fervent and pious expression of a martyr, put away the test tube, and walked toward the Fuyuki Church.
Rin, having just entered the mansion, saw Da Vinci frantically shouting there.
"What happened, Da Vinci!"
Seeing Rin, Da Vinci quickly rushed to her side, grabbed Rin's arm, and said.
"Rin, this is bad! A vial of Gray's blood is missing!"
"Alright, alright, it's just a vial of blood. Maybe you accidentally left it in some corner and forgot. Gray is still here, so just draw another vial."
Da Vinci looked up at the ceiling, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in sudden realization.
"You're right! I just need to draw another vial of Gray's blood!"
Rin looked at Da Vinci, who was starting to fool around, and asked.
"Da Vinci, where is Touko?"
"Touko should be in the study right now. Does Rin need her for something?"
"Yes. Da Vinci, please go notify Waver to wait for me in the basement. I'll go find Touko first."
After speaking, Rin turned and headed toward the study.
Touko, who was passing the time flipping through a fashion magazine in the study, put down the magazine, looked at Rin who pushed the door open and entered, and asked.
"Rin, what's the matter so late?"
"Touko, the plan is moving up! I need you to break the seal and start the Holy Grail War right now!"
"Wait, Rin. Yuki and Aoko won't arrive until tomorrow. Are you sure you want to start the Holy Grail War today?"
Rin nodded at the perplexed Touko.
"Yes, Touko. Do you remember Sajyou Manaka, the one I told you about?"
"Of course. I don't think any Magus could forget Sajyou Manaka, a person connected to The Root since birth!"
"Sajyou Manaka has also come to Fuyuki City, and she is a Master!"
"You ran into her today?"
Rin answered Touko's question through gritted teeth.
"Yes! I met her today, and she gave me a 'lesson' I won't ever forget!"
Touko looked at Rin in front of her, raised a hand to cover her lips, and chuckled secretly.
"It sounds like quite the big 'lesson'!"
"Damn it, Touko, you're making fun of me!"
Seeing Touko snickering, Rin leaped up, intending to grab Touko and 'abuse' her thoroughly.
Touko agilely dodged Rin's lunge, then held out her hand, signaling Rin to stop.
"Alright, Rin. Since you've decided, I'll send out a puppet to destroy the seal immediately. Then I should leave here to start up my Workshop. Leave Alice and Aoko to me; I will pick them up tomorrow and take them to my Workshop to support you during this Holy Grail War."
Rin pulled out a communication Jewel from her pocket and placed it in Touko's hand.
"Touko, I'm counting on you!"
"Then I'll pack up and prepare to leave. I've already activated the puppet on Mount Ryudo. The seal should be broken in about five minutes. Take care of yourself, Rin!"
"You too, Touko."
On Mount Ryudo, outside the ruins of the hanging gardens of babylon, a puppet disguised as a rock by Touko quickly transformed into a humanoid shape upon activation.
The puppet raised its head and, using the equipment Touko had installed in its head, quickly locked onto the path Touko had previously drawn with magic power. With a series of clicking sounds, the puppet rapidly broke into the interior of the hanging gardens of babylon.
Boom!
A violent explosion came from inside the hanging gardens of babylon, followed by towering malice pouring out from within. Nearby small animals began fleeing frantically, as if encountering their natural predator.
"Tohsaka Rin, hahahahahaha! I'm out! Wait for my revenge!"
Angra Mainyu reappeared in the world as the seal shattered.
Suddenly, countless ribbons of light stretched out from all directions toward Angra Mainyu, wrapping tightly around him. Then, Tohsaka Rin's voice echoed in the empty hall.
"You should be released now, Angra Mainyu. But don't worry, I won't let you interfere with the Holy Grail War. Please stay here obediently until it's over. Oh, and this is just a message!"
Angra Mainyu, wrapped ever tighter by the countless ribbons of light, roared!
"Damn you, damn you, Tohsaka Rin~"
As more and more ribbons wrapped around him, Angra Mainyu was completely bound and ceased moving.
At the same time, a large number of Dolls sleeping inside the hanging gardens of babylon were activated and began patrolling the interior vigilantly. Countless magic traps were also activated, waiting for uninvited guests.
Rin, in the basement of the Tohsaka Annex, sensed the enormous magical power emanating from the direction of Mount Ryudo and calmly nodded to Waver beside her.
The two of them each approached a magic circle and simultaneously pulled out their respective catalysts, placing them beside the circles.
Rin and Waver exchanged glances.
"Let's begin." X2
As the two chanted, the magic circles before them simultaneously burst into light, and two intense streams of magical power erupted from the circles, forcing Gray and Da Vinci, who were watching the ritual, to cover their eyes.
"King, long time no see!"
"Yo! Kid, looks like many years have passed, huh? You've actually become a man!"
Just as Waver was exchanging a 'deep gaze' with the King of Conquerors, whom he had longed for.
Gilgamesh, who had just been summoned, stood naked, revealing the red Magic Crests on his body, and frowned as he looked at the little girl who had summoned him.
Suddenly, a wave of memory seemed to transmit from his main body to Gilgamesh, and the expression of Gilgamesh standing before Rin instantly changed.
"Rin, you've grown up. Come and form a contract with this King!"
Rin did not reply to Gilgamesh, but simply raised the command spells left over from the last Holy Grail War and displayed them before him.
"Hahahaha, Rin, you truly live up to your name. To perform an irregular summoning, you truly surprise me!"
"Of course, Gil. How could I possibly follow the predetermined future? Didn't expect that, did you?"
"Hahahahaha!"
The King of Conquerors walked over to Gilgamesh, who was laughing heartily where he stood, and looked at Gilgamesh and Rin.
"Haha, a long-awaited reunion! Former enemies are now allies! Do you remember my proposal, king of heroes? Rin, let's create an peerless army this time!"
