The Matou family's basement was abandoned.
It was gloomy, damp, and evil, with the occasional sight of dead insects.
Gilgamesh, dressed in black casual pants and a jacket, watched all this with his hands in his pockets.
"What? So you were here."
Shinji Matou walked towards Gilgamesh from the side of the road.
Upon hearing Shinji Matou's voice, Gilgamesh turned to look at him.
Shinji Matou felt very restrained after being swept by Gilgamesh's gaze.
So, Shinji Matou shrugged and spread his hands, then continued, slightly embarrassed.
"Oh no, I'm not here to complain."
As he spoke, Shinji Matou slowly walked over, his movements very cautious.
"I don't care what you do there."
"But I have some good news instead."
"Kirei Kotomine said he'd turn a blind eye to our actions!"
Upon discovering that Shinji Matou had only told him such trivial matters, Gilgamesh turned his head away again, continuing to look at the insect corpses in the ruins.
Gilgamesh, still with his hands in his pockets and his back to Shinji Matou, spoke with an indifferent expression.
"It seems that Kirei Kotomine quite appreciates you."
Shinji Matou felt a little happy when he heard himself being praised.
"Well, Kirei Kotomine is just good at judging people."
"If I were to obtain the Holy Grail, what should I do to reward it?"
As he pondered, Shinji Matou began to think, resting his chin on his hand.
Shinji Matou, lost in his own fantasy, had already begun to imagine what it would be like if he won and obtained the Holy Grail.
"Then let's kill them all, how about that?"
"Absorb souls as quickly as possible to become stronger."
"At this rate, it'll be their turn next."
In his fantasy, Shinji Matou initially started dancing with excitement.
He said this while spinning around in circles, completely absorbed in the moment.
"How can we not teach that Emiya Shirou a lesson?"
"And Caster's white-haired Master."
"Oh, and there's also Rin Tohsaka and his servant."
In the end, I don't know why, perhaps Shinji Matou's fantasies were too idealistic.
After Matou Shinji finished speaking, he put his hand on Gilgamesh's shoulder in a singing tone.
Gilgamesh turned and looked at Shinji Matou, his wine-red eyes filled with indifference.
"Shinji."
"You don't truly understand the Holy Grail War."
"If you want the Holy Grail, ignore the other Masters."
"Those guys were just victims."
"There's something you absolutely must grasp first."
Gilgamesh took a few steps forward, moving out of the range of Shinji Matou's arm.
Shinji Matou didn't quite understand Gilgamesh's statement.
"What should we grab first?"
The cold, eerie light shone on Gilgamesh's profile, making him appear exceptionally sinister.
I understand how you feel.
"The thrill of revenge is extremely pleasurable and exhilarating."
"It is precisely because of their desire for pleasure that they can be called human beings."
"After we finish the important business."
"Why not play with you for a bit?"
After speaking, Gilgamesh's lips curled into a wicked smile, and his wine-red eyes gleamed with an unknown light.
This expression really startled Shinji Matou.
"Speaking of which... I haven't asked you yet, have I? What's your wish or something...?"
I originally thought that the proud Gilgamesh would not answer this question.
But perhaps because Gilgamesh is in a good mood right now, he is willing to spend more time talking to Shinji Matou.
"I only acknowledge luxury."
"The most beautiful decorations are the most appealing."
"The other superfluous things have no meaning or necessity whatsoever."
Gilgamesh loved gold and luxury.
That's why it's called "Golden Glitter".
It's easy to understand that it's glittering and sparkling.
"Unnecessary things?"
Shinji Matou raised his own questions.
“Once, I selected ten slaves and killed those who were ‘not even necessary’.”
"Guess what happened, Shinji?"
Gilgamesh spoke of his actions during his lifetime in a very calm and matter-of-fact tone.
"Ha, you didn't kill them all?"
Shinji Matou wasn't surprised that the slaves were being killed, but rather that they weren't all killed.
"In the end, none of them were killed."
“Even if they are just slaves, there are no extra ones.”
"That's how it was for the world in the past."
"But the world today is full of all sorts of superfluous things."
"Let alone ten people. Even if you choose a thousand people, there wouldn't be any you can't kill."
Gilgamesh's lengthy discourse was still beyond Shinji Matou's comprehension.
"I really don't understand."
"What is it that you ultimately want?"
Confused and unable to comprehend his own thoughts, Matou Shinji saw Gilgamesh reveal his wicked smile once again.
"It's very simple."
"The so-called 'too much' is disgusting."
"Just eliminate them all and purify them."
After saying that, Gilgamesh crushed the carbonized insect corpse to dust.

The mysterious heroine X trains alone on the empty back mountain of Ryudong Temple.
Otosaka Souji silently watched as the mysterious heroine X kept swinging her sword.
Otosaka Souji didn't quite understand why Servants needed to train.
Shouldn't the stats of Heroic Spirits be fixed?
Is it possible to improve through training? To become stronger?
With this question in mind, Otosaka Souji raised his doubts with the mysterious heroine X.
"Um, Assassin, are you working out?"
"Yes, Master."
Upon seeing someone approaching, the mysterious female protagonist X also stopped what she was doing.
"I will not slack off in my training in order to become the strongest Saber."
"Do you want to become the strongest Saber's Assassin?"
"Hey! No matter what, I'm not an Assassin, I'm definitely Saber."
Okay, Otosaka Souji doesn't intend to dwell on whether the mysterious heroine X is an Assassin or Saber.
After all, any Servant who is your own, whether it's an Assassin or Saber, is a good Servant.
