Chapter 112: The Holy Grail War is Over?!

Upon hearing Sakura's innocent and straightforward words, Gill felt that they were extremely inappropriate. Although they were merely childish remarks, he believed that Sakura was biased against him!

While he could have ignored it, Gill decisively made a statement to Sakura.

"Sakura, listen carefully. The term 'gaming otaku' cannot be applied to someone as magnificent as I am. You should regard me as the King of Heroes... no, I am already the King of Heroes!"

"Understood."

"Mmm." Seeing Sakura back down and no longer referring to him as a gaming otaku, Gill felt extremely happy.

Meanwhile, Sakura pondered in her heart, 'EUO? Does he want me to call him EUO NEET?'

At dawn, inside the church of the Holy Church in Fuyuki City, an elderly priest stood with his back to two rows of pews. On the numerous pews, various Familiars perched, each one unique. There were pigeons, bats, and even stone-like flying puppets. But among them, the most distinctive was a quadcopter drone.

Once all the Familiars of the Masters had arrived and settled on the church pews, the elderly priest named Kotomine Risei turned around, his eyes closed, and delivered a resounding speech in fluent Mandarin to all the Masters' Familiars present.

"I am the overseer of this Holy Grail War, known as Kotomine Risei."

"This may be the first time you are meeting me, and you must be curious why I have chosen this particular moment to request the participation of all the Masters."

"The Holy Grail War has come to an end."

After uttering these words, the Familiars of the Masters, who were observing Kotomine Risei's speech, went into an uproar. At this moment, every person's internal thoughts could be summarized as, 'Who am I? Where am I? Is it about to start... wait, it's already over?'

Though he managed to survive, he realized that he probably wouldn't be leaving the hospital for the next few months. As he recounted each incident, Kiritsugu felt that he was perhaps the most tragic Master in the entire Holy Grail War, without a doubt. Even if there were others, they would have to include Gudako, who seemingly vanished like fireworks.

"How could this happen...? I prepared for the Holy Grail War for eight years, and it just ends like this? It's... over?!" Iris' expression was no better than Kiritsugu's as she listened to Risei's words on the display screen.

Setting aside the matter of the Lesser Grail, let's focus on one thing: throughout the entire Holy Grail War, only two Servants were summoned, and both of them were summoned by Gudako herself and subsequently defeated by her own faction. This can be described as a self-contained cycle.

In the actual process, it would require sacrificing the souls of at least six Servants to fulfill the prerequisite for activating the Holy Grail. But the current situation is that the Lesser Grail is still intact, and the Servants participating in the Holy Grail War are all fine. All that happened last night was a minor skirmish that resulted in the destruction of six fireworks.

And then... and then the Holy Grail was taken by some random newcomer??

"...It shouldn't have been like this." Kiritsugu's gaze remained vacant as he looked ahead, as if his spirit had died.

Noticing Kiritsugu's expression, Iris felt a sense of unease and asked with concern, "Kiritsugu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Upon hearing Kiritsugu's response, Iris was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw him trembling and unsteadily sitting up from the bed.

"I lied to you..."

After pausing for a moment to gather his emotions, Kiritsugu immediately wore an expression of complete despair. His teeth clenched tightly, and from Iris' position, she could see the force he was exerting, even hearing a creaking sound. She was genuinely afraid he might shatter his molars.

"Waaahhh!" Kiritsugu burst into uncontrollable tears, leaning forward and removing his breathing mask.

While sobbing in anguish, he shouted, "What kind of joke is this?! What kind of Holy Grail War is this? It's absurd!"

"What kind of joke, what kind of Holy Grail War is this? It's absurd!" (lmao they break the edgy lord here)
