The Failed Truce Pact

Tohsaka Family Estate!

Inside the enormous, castle-like mansion was a medieval-style conference room. Its vaulted ceiling was painted sky blue, polished porcelain-white marble covered the floor, sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a gentle breeze stirred the sheer curtains.

Though not extravagantly decorated, it was more than enough to display its owner's noble status!

Before Tohsaka Tokiomi died, the Tohsaka Family had truly been wealthy. Though they were a Magician family somewhat removed from modern society, seemingly without many ways to make money, their status was there for all to see. As one of the Three Founding Families of the Holy Grail War and the managers of Fuyuki City's ley lines, they were destined never to be troubled by money.

Besides, how could a family that used jewels as spellcasting materials and held numerous thaumaturgical patents at the Clock Tower possibly lack money?

A certain impoverished young lady: "..."

Inside the vast conference room, Tohsaka Tokiomi, the fifth-generation head of the Tohsaka Family, had invited the Masters of every Servant apart from Caster and Berserker. Taking advantage of the truce, they were here to discuss joining forces to eliminate the reckless Caster and the unbeatable Berserker.

Kirei Kotomine, Waver, Kayneth, Kiritsugu Emiya, and Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had convened the meeting—the five Masters had gathered together. They sat around the long conference table, their Servants all sent away. Since Tohsaka Tokiomi had yet to speak, an eerie silence hung over the room.

Originally, only Waver and Kayneth had been interested in this meeting. However, Kiritsugu Emiya had lost his wife and came here hoping to exchange information. When Kirei Kotomine heard that Kiritsugu Emiya would attend, he joined as well. He regarded Kiritsugu Emiya as his lifelong enemy and was eager to learn every detail of his movements.
