In the living room of the Matou Family, everyone was sitting there.
Behind Tia, Lancelot was in full white armor, his sword, the light of the lake, shining brightly.
Behind Matou Sakura stood Jekyll, who looked gentle and refined now, but who knew that he hid a mad Hyde inside.
Behind Matou Shinji stood Bean Dad, whose outfit made him look like a researcher at first glance.
Behind Tohsaka Rin, Red Archer stood quietly as always, without saying anything.
Behind Illya, the tall Heracles gave ordinary people a strong feeling of pressure just by standing there.
Next to Illya, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel also sat together.
Finally, there was only Matou Kariya, sitting next to Matou Sakura and Matou Shinji.
From this arrangement, Tia understood that Bean Dad was Shinji's servant, and Jekyll was Sakura's servant.
However, Tia didn't understand how Shinji had become a Master. He clearly didn't have magic circuits, let alone inherit the Matou Family's magic crest. Tia also didn't feel any magic power from his body at all. Although Tia did see the Command Seals on Shinji's hand, confirming that he hadn't used some fake book to force Sakura to give him a servant, she was even more certain that the current Shinji was truly a good, cheerful young man.
Because Bean Dad was already a pretty ideal person, even thinking that Zouken was a Caster with admirable ideas and a noble idealist, wanting to be friends with him. For someone like that to become Shinji's servant, it at least showed that Shinji wasn't bad now.
Tia couldn't ask them about it now, since in their eyes she was still Emiya Shirou. Tia wasn't planning to reveal her identity yet, because she wasn't sure if they could accept it or even believe it. This world seemed relatively normal, so Tia didn't want to cause trouble.
As for the Jekyll that Sakura summoned, Tia had no idea at all, because Jekyll shouldn't have any connection to the Matou Family in any way.
At this time, Illya felt especially awkward in the living room.
She had originally come to provoke them, even to kill them.
Because Illya believed Shirou had stolen her father and mother.
But now Illya was sitting here with so many people, and she felt uncomfortable just thinking about her purpose in coming here.
"Illya," Irisviel said, touching Illya's head.
Illya immediately wore a smile, and all her previous worries were forgotten.
"I think you all know that this Holy Grail War has basically become a fight between two sides. Our side is basically... related, and can form an alliance with each other. As for those remaining... Rider's Master is dead, and I don't know where she went, but I'm sure that Rider will probably be in the same group as Lancer and the dragon-slaying Saber who will definitely appear. Because there was internal conflict in Rider's Master's workshop, and Lancer went to the workshop where the conflict occurred," Kiritsugu said.
Jekyll nodded: "Not bad, your investigation skills are actually better than mine as an Assassin! You found out about the internal affairs of Rider's Master's workshop ahead of time."
Tia smiled helplessly to herself.
Kiritsugu's investigation skills were not just for show.
"Humph, that's why I said that guy Atram Galliasta was useless, actually betrayed by his own servant. As expected of the legendary witch of betrayal, Medea. Her class should have been Caster because she is a witch, but she has dragons so she became Rider. In theory, it shouldn't be possible to summon Medea as a Rider, because Medea doesn't know how to summon or control dragons, but she has that legend because of the Golden Fleece, which gave her the possibility of becoming a Rider. But it was just a possibility, and normally the Golden Fleece can only summon the Caster class witch Medea," Illya said at this time.
"I haven't investigated that yet," Kiritsugu told everyone, "But there is one possible guess: summoning with both a Bodhi leaf and the Golden Fleece together, or that the presence of a Bodhi leaf nearby affected the summoning when the Golden Fleece was used, causing Medea to become a Rider and gain the ability to summon dragons."
Tia was speechless when she heard Kiritsugu's explanation.
Because if it was really related to the Bodhi leaf that made Medea a Rider and allowed her to summon dragons, then don't tell me that dragon is the evil dragon Fafnir, who shows up wherever he's needed.
You should know that in the first special spot, Jalter's dragon was the evil dragon Fafnir.
"Have you investigated the woman from the Holy Church?" Sakura said at this time.
"Are you talking about the supervisor sent by the Holy Church, Sister Caren?" Kiritsugu asked.
Sakura nodded.
"Of course we investigated her. In the Fourth War 10 years ago, the Holy Church supervisor, Kotomine Risei, secretly allied with Tohsaka Tokiomi. Kotomine Risei used his position as supervisor to secretly give Tohsaka Tokiomi all kinds of advantages. It's a pity that the appearance of the demon god pillar ruined everything," Kiritsugu continued. "The Holy Church did that kind of thing back then, so I naturally suspect that the current Holy Church will also do it. What's more, I also investigated an even more shocking fact. That Sister Caren is Kotomine Kirei's daughter. If she also inherited her father's identity, then she is very likely also an executor of the Holy Church."
"The Holy Church sending an executor to be a supervisor? Humph! They're being so obvious about it," Tohsaka Rin said coldly. "That Kotomine Kirei killed his father, took all the Command Seals, betrayed his father, and joined forces with that old bug Zouken to create a demon god pillar. Father eventually couldn't withstand the hero king's huge magic power output and died, all because of the appearance of the demon god pillar in the end."
Tia understood from Rin's words that things were different in the past Fourth Holy Grail War.
In the time machine, she remembered clearly that Gilgamesh took out Medea's Noble Phantasm, Rule Breaker, from the Gate of Babylon and stabbed her with it, making Tia Gilgamesh's servant.
