Scathach frowned deeply. Wasn't the Holy Grail War supposed to have only seven Servants? Why was there an extra Servant now?
"No. The Servant killed by the Tohsaka family's Servant was the victor of the previous Holy Grail War."
Faced with Matou Zouken's teasing, Kirei Kotomine unexpectedly neither denied it nor claimed ignorance. Instead, he directly revealed that Gilgamesh had been the victor.
