Kenneth's words to Weber may have been sarcastic, but they also contained Kenneth's sincerity.
Weber's family is like a baby in the magic circuit. Even if they understand more theories, the upper limit of their strength is not high. This mentality of thinking that the more they know, the more powerful they will be. It will harm him and make him fall to the top without knowing his own capabilities.
On the road.
Just like now, the reason why Weber was completely fine in the attack of Crounpith was entirely because of the good performance of Rider's Noble Phantasm and the fact that he had seen Crounpisi's moves once. If Weber had replaced Kenneth's conditions, initially
When I saw Crownpiss and used Kenneth's servant, there was no doubt that the first round was over.
Weber will be killed instantly.
Anyone who has watched that battle can come to this conclusion.
"I was supposed to give you extracurricular tutoring - the true meaning of magicians killing each other. But you must have experienced it. You have this weird smell, did you vomit?"
"...Yes." Gritting his teeth, Weber admitted. He vomited on the spot when he saw countless corpses in the ruins. As for the details, it was difficult for him to talk about it, so he admitted the fact with the simplest answer.
That night, Webber and Kenneth talked for a long time, until it started to get dark and the priest drove them away.
After all, the Holy Grail War is still going on. How can people who are still participating in the war be allowed to stay in the neutral zone?
Except for a certain master-slave pair that has an internal relationship with the Holy Church.
"Haha~" Crounpis, who was sitting invisibly on a tree outside the church and watched Weber and Rider leave, yawned, "I thought I could hear some useful knowledge and information, but my expectations were too high."
What exactly Weber gained, I am afraid only he himself knows.
"The next step is to prepare for the operation against the Einzbern camp that is scheduled to arrive in Fuyuki City today? Hehe."
After releasing the goblins to track Weber and Rider, Crownpis jumped off the branch and flew towards the city, looking for a club where she could connect to the Internet cable for "free".
In fact, the performance of the laptop Kirei bought was very good in this era.
Even hacking software is ready.
If you think about it carefully, now that the Internet has existed, the Holy Church's concealment of magic has to involve the Internet. After all, the Internet - you know.
But why is there no network cable in Kirei's room? Maybe it's just that he doesn't need it for his personal work, and he has no interest in surfing the Internet.
Crownpiss was at his usual spot on the Internet, looking up information about airplane flights.
Einzbern would not foolishly use this name to take a flight, but if it is combined with the information reported to the church, the search will become much easier.
It's almost like cheating.
No, this church colluded with Tohsaka so that Kirei could extract the necessary information from the church and pass it on to Tokiomi, so that was cheating.
"I see, it's really a luxury to charter a flight."
【Kirei, can you help me find a group of big birds? I want wild ones.】
【What are you going to do?】
【Fight against Einzbern.】
Three hours later, an Italian Voale Airlines charter flight originating from Germany collided with a passing bird before landing, causing engine failure and crashed.
[Assassin, Saber has not left the game yet.] Kirei informed after checking the soul board that the church can use to confirm whether each servant has been summoned or alive.
[...I think so. It would be unrealistic to make it that simple. However, if this battle fails, we will be guarded against today's attack. How is today's battle done? 】
【……So be it.】
Kirei planned to use Assassin to weaken the enemy as much as possible before Tokiomi went to battle, but he didn't just give away his life for nothing, right?
Although Assassin had already demonstrated an ability to cope with the challenge beyond Kirei's expectations in the previous battle, judging from the results of the close head-to-head confrontation, it was best for Assassin to ensure a sudden attack.
Crounpis on the other side of the communication breathed a sigh of relief.
She used [mass terminate species] to order a group of birds to crash into the aircraft engine, and she didn't expect to succeed in the battle.
This bought me a little more time and energy to think about how to convince Kirei to use his own will to win the Holy Grail War. In order to gather the elements that can convince Kirei, it really has to be collected when all the participants in the war are gathered together.

However, his behavior put another person at risk of mental collapse——
……………………………………………………
Suburban Fuyuki City, Einzbern Castle——
A car stopped in front of the castle, and a woman with silver hair and red eyes who looked like an inhuman person got out of the car, and a girl with light blond hair in a suit.
Irisviel of the Einzbern camp and a servant of the Saber class.
With Saber's skills, it was definitely not impossible to break out of the falling plane and land safely, but Irisviel, who was not proficient in combat, was naturally frightened.
Irisviel, who had finally survived the plane crash, accompanied by Saber, came to this stronghold belonging to their family.
Just in time, she saw her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, standing on the balcony overlooking the castle's front yard, leaning on the guardrail and looking at the sunny forest.
Irisviel asked Saber to wait at the castle for inspection while she went to visit her husband.
Although Kiritsugu was Saber's master, Irisviel knew that the two were not compatible. Saber was the British King Arthur in Celtic mythology, advocating the spirit of chivalry, and was naturally incompatible with Emiya Kiritsugu, who was a killer.
Before Kiritsugu set out to come here, Kiritsugu had never even paid attention to Saber. He had given up and planned to concentrate on being his own magician killer and killing enemies in the Holy Grail War.
However, when Irisviel came to the balcony and saw Kiritsugu's expression when he turned around, she couldn't help but feel a little at a loss and stood there blankly.
Kiritsugu's expression was like that of a hurt and helpless child, with tears about to well up in his eyes. This was not a magician killer, he was just a weak man.
"Kiritsugu, you?"
"Ellie!" Kiritsugu suddenly hugged Irisviel tightly, and Irisviel could feel the trembling.
"If I...if I decide to abandon everything and escape from here at this moment...Ai Li, will you leave with me?"
Irisviel was at a loss for words for a moment, and she probably couldn't have imagined that it was this man who said the words.
"Illya... is still in the castle, what should I do?" After a while, Irisviel spoke.
"Go back to the castle and bring her out! Kill anyone who stands in the way!" Kiritsugu said simple yet desperate words.
"Today...I almost lost Ellie. I looked at the falling plane...I was helpless. I'm so glad you are safe. From now on, I will give everything I have for our family. I don't want to...lose anyone again."
This is completely serious, Irisviel realizes this.
