The main structure of Fuyuki Church had collapsed.
Only half of Risei Kotomine's body remained outside.
Kirei Kotomine did not feel much about his father's death.
"If someone had to die, I hoped it would be by my own hand"?
That sort of thought no longer existed.
After handling most of the church's affairs, Kirei Kotomine returned to his residence.
He had already been eliminated from this Holy Grail War.
So naturally, he was no longer living at a [base].
It was merely an ordinary residence.
Standing at the door, Kirei Kotomine looked around the room, feeling somewhat dazed.
Two sake cups still sat on the coffee table. Half-drunk sake had been casually left on the floor, while there was only one coffee cup.
The laptop on the dining table had not been shut down. Two sheets of paper lay beside it, apparently recording something—strategy data left behind by Sakumura.
"Good grief."
The room was a little messy.
When Kirei Kotomine had been alone, everything had always been neat and orderly.
He stacked the sake cups and tossed them into the kitchen sink. After hesitating for a moment over the half pot of sake, he set it on the dining table for the time being.
After wiping down the table, he picked up the jar containing his coffee beans and headed for the cupboard.
But when he reached the cupboard, Kirei Kotomine paused.
There was a photograph inside.
Setting the coffee beans aside for the moment, Kirei Kotomine picked up the photograph.
It was a photo of him and Sakumura, taken at Kyoto University before the Holy Grail War had officially begun.
The background was Sakumura's own statue.
Sakumura's statue had kind features and a gentle smile, gazing into the distance, watching over the entire world and the whole sky.
