"Heracles? Heracles, the Great Hero from Greek Mythology?!"
"That's right!"
Rin Tohsaka was stunned, and along with her shock, she could not help feeling a little bitter.
Although she did not know Red A's true identity, she knew that Heracles was absolutely among the very strongest of all Heroic Spirits. No wonder Red A had been no match for him.
"Then what is it you want to discuss?" Rin Tohsaka took a deep breath and lowered her arms.
Looking into Su Ning's sincere eyes, she felt that he was probably not lying to her. Besides, he had no reason to deceive her.
"Of course, I want to discuss us joining forces."
Rin Tohsaka raised an eyebrow at that. What Su Ning said was not beyond her expectations, but was there still any point in discussing an alliance now?
"Do you want me and your Berserker to join forces against Saber?"
"Of course not." Su Ning smiled and shook his head. "The duel between King Arthur and Mordred is an arrangement of fate. Neither side will allow outsiders to interfere. The one I want to join forces with you against is Kirei Kotomine—your father's true murderer!"
Rin Tohsaka froze.
"What did you say? Kirei Kotomine is my father's murderer? H-How is that possible? He was my father's student!"
A faintly amused look appeared on Su Ning's face. Rather than answering her question directly, he asked her one in return.
"Is that so? Have you truly never wondered how your father died?"
Rin Tohsaka frowned and fell silent. Of course she had doubted the cause of her father's death. After all, her father had been a powerful mage whose strength in the Fourth Holy Grail War was on par with Kayneth's. He had also cooperated with the Church, made so many preparations, and had Kirei Kotomine as his helper. How could he have died so easily?
She had simply never imagined that Kirei Kotomine had been the one who killed her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka.
"Then tell me, why did Kirei Kotomine kill my father?"
"Of course, it was to continue participating in the Holy Grail War. After Kirei Kotomine's Assassin was defeated, Tokiomi Tohsaka's Servant, Gilgamesh, joined forces with Kirei Kotomine to kill Tokiomi Tohsaka. Then the two of them formed a team and continued competing for the Holy Grail."
Rin Tohsaka shook her head hard.
"No! That's impossible! My father was such an incredible mage. Why would Gilgamesh change Masters?"
"Because Tokiomi Tohsaka once forcibly ordered Gilgamesh to do something he was unwilling to do, enraging the prideful Gilgamesh. If you understand Sumerian mythology and know the legend of Gilgamesh, you should know that he was an extremely arrogant and self-absorbed tyrant."
After a brief pause, Su Ning did not wait for her rebuttal and directly threw out his key bargaining chip.
"Proving what I said is actually very simple. Gilgamesh is still alive, and he is at Fuyuki Cathedral. Also, the previous Lancer, the Child of Light Cú Chulainn, was actually Kirei Kotomine's Servant."
Rin Tohsaka's entire body trembled, and shock appeared on her pretty face.
"What you said is true?!"
"Why not go and see for yourself? Kirei Kotomine may lie to you, but Gilgamesh will not. His pride would never allow him to do that. As long as you run over there and curse him out a few times, Gilgamesh is guaranteed to show himself~"
"..."
Rin Tohsaka froze, suddenly at a loss for words.
At the same time, in other corners of Fuyuki City, everyone monitoring this place through Familiars wore strange expressions.
Especially...
