Lord El-Melloi II: My Stomachache Is Starting Again!
"Black mud..." Rin frowned.
Artoria also fell into thought.
Artoria had once seen Shirou's dream.
There had indeed been such a scene in that dream.
"Come to think of it, Caster did say that there seemed to be something wrong with the Holy Grail." Artoria still remembered what Caster had said.
"Mm, so I used magecraft on myself earlier. I recreated what I went through back then in a dream," Shirou explained.

Malice was hidden within the Holy Grail.
"—?!"
Then Artoria understood.
Kiritsugu.
Her former Master.
