"Bazett, I believe I told you that you shouldn't come over to my side anymore."
Kirei Kotomine did not turn around, yet he already knew exactly who was standing behind him.
"I mean, are you really going to keep insisting on that?"
Bazett stood behind him with her arms crossed, looking rather speechless as she stared at Kirei Kotomine's back.
"If I remember correctly, yesterday afternoon you snuck out by yourself to eat a bowl of tofu, and you ran into Saber's Master, Shirou Emiya, as well as Rider at that shop."
"Kirei, what exactly is going on with this Holy Grail War? Is it really still a Holy Grail War?"

"What do you mean by that, Bazett?"
Kirei Kotomine finally turned around and looked at Bazett, who stood at the entrance to the church.
"After the campaign against Assassin, the Holy Grail War has already seen several more clashes—this is perfectly normal, isn't it?"
"...Are you sure those were normal clashes?"
Bazett rolled her eyes.
"Not only are the Saber faction and the Rider faction living right next door to each other, but the friction between them only resulted in a few minor injuries."
"Moreover, the Caster faction and the Archer faction have maintained a very close relationship due to family ties."
"Is this a Holy Grail War?"
"Why does it feel like... they're just playing house?"
This was undoubtedly the most uncomfortable
