A few hours later, in a clearing on Mount Enzou.
Iskandar, Fang Mo, and Gilgamesh were sitting on the ground.
Meanwhile, beneath the shade of the nearby woods, everyone else stood there. This included not only the Tohsaka family, Waver, Artoria, and Kirei Kotomine, but even Kariya Matou had rushed over.
At that moment, they were staring wide-eyed at one another.
Of course, if anyone was absent, it was undoubtedly Kiritsugu Emiya's faction.
At Fang Mo's instruction, Tokiomi Tohsaka had sent someone to the Einzbern castle, but Kiritsugu Emiya's group had already vanished and was no longer staying there. Irisviel, who served as the Lesser Grail, and Maiya Hisau had disappeared as well.
"So..."
The first to speak was, as expected, Rin Tohsaka. She rubbed her temples. "Those guys are seriously planning to sit there and drink?"
"I really can't understand how Heroic Spirits think..."
Hearing this, Waver could not help sighing. "Things have already come to this, and Rider still has the mood to prepare some kind of drinking party? What the hell is he thinking? Isn't he guaranteed to lose?"
"But if it's a drinking party..."
Kariya Matou did not really know what had happened, and he instinctively glanced at Artoria. "It's probably a banquet only Servants can attend... You're Saber, right? Why aren't you going?"
"I have no interest in that."
Artoria said, "Whatever they wish to discuss has nothing to do with me—"
"Hey, hey, what are you muttering about over there?"
Before she could finish, Fang Mo suddenly turned and looked her way. "Today is the King's Banquet. The King of Knights counts as a king too... How much longer are you going to make the three of us wait?"
"What?"
Artoria seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Go on, Saber."
It was Rin Tohsaka
