The Tosaka family residence! In the huge mansion that looks like a castle, there is a medieval-style meeting room. The arched roof is painted with sky blue, and the polished porcelain white marble floor is underfoot. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in the sunlight from outside, and the breeze blows the gauze curtains.
Although the decoration is not extremely luxurious, it is enough to reflect the noble status of the owner! Before Tohsaka Tokiomi died, the Tohsaka family was really rich. Although they were a family of magicians, they were alienated from modern society and seemed to have no way to make money. But the status of the Tohsaka family was there. As one of the three holy grail families and the manager of the land veins of Fuyuki City, they were destined not to be troubled by money.
Besides, how could a family that can use gems as materials for performing magic and has many magic patents in the Clock Tower be short of money!
A poor young lady: "..."
In the huge conference room, the fifth generation head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi, invited all the masters of the servants except Caster and Berserker to take advantage of the truce to discuss joining forces to eliminate the willful Caster and Berserker who no one could defeat.
Kotomine Kirei, Waver, Kenneth, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Tōsaka Tokiomi who called the meeting, the five Masters gathered together. They sat at the long conference table, all the Servants were sent away, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not speak, and the scene remained strangely quiet.
Originally, only Waver and Kenneth were interested in this meeting, but Kiritsugu Emiya lost his wife and tried to come here to exchange some information. When Kotomine Kirei heard that Kiritsugu Emiya would attend, he also joined the meeting. He regarded Kiritsugu Emiya as his lifelong enemy and was eager to explore his every move.
Pah! Kenneth slapped the table, stood up and looked down at me, saying, "You are a disgrace among magicians, but you dare to make demands on me. You are really ignorant. Besides, your Saber is so weak, what difference does it make whether she is there or not?"

"Caster has been killed. It was done by Berserker and his Master!" After the news was confirmed by the church, no one doubted its truth. They were just shocked that Berserker's side acted so quickly.
"This contract is too simple. You don't think we are all fools, do you?" Kenneth sneered. This contract clearly treats other masters as cannon fodder so that Tohsaka Tokiomi can reap the benefits.
Emiya Kiritsugu's thin face looked a little haggard. He glanced at several masters and finally looked at Kayneth: "My Servant Saber was cursed by an incurable curse when she fought with Lancer, which greatly affected her combat ability. Since we are going to cooperate against Berserker, should Lancer's Master order the curse to be lifted to prove our sincerity in cooperating with each other?"
"If you have any request, just tell me."
Archer sneered at the other three Servants with disdain. "Shichen, I've already said that Berserker can be left to me alone. These bastards, in order to prevent them from disturbing my battle, let them die here!"
Waver shrank his head, not daring to look Kenneth in the eye. Among the five masters, his aura was the weakest, and it could be said that he had no presence at all.
"A powerful man who has slaughtered gods and possesses a foul treasure. A single Servant cannot contend with him. Even if two Servants join forces, there is no guarantee of victory..."
Now that Caster and his Master have been eliminated, doesn't that mean... Damn, the truce is over! The Masters looked at each other, with faint shadows staring behind them, and the Servants raised their weapons to confront each other. Archer, Lancer, Assassin, Rider, four Servants gathered in a small meeting room, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
Everyone looked at the contract, and no one raised their hand to sign. Even the youngest, Weber, could see that the contract was too simple. Simplicity often meant loopholes. They were thinking about how much benefit the loopholes could bring to them.
His Servant King Archer is in the terminal stage of an incurable disease, and there is no other way to restrain him except the Command Seals. Before, Tohsaka Tokiomi could use the advice of his servants to persuade Archer, but since he interrupted Archer's battle, the latter has ignored him. If it weren't for the existence of the Command Seals, Tohsaka Tokiomi felt that Archer would have a great chance of killing him to vent his anger, and there would be no room for the master-servant relationship to improve.
Kenneth felt that it was all Waver's fault. If Waver had not stolen his relic, he would not have summoned the spare Lancer, and Sora would not have fallen in love with someone else.
Kenneth: If you are about to be cheated on, I guarantee you will be more happy than me! "In that case, let's get started!"
"Regarding matters of cooperation, I have some requests here. I wonder if they can be included in the contract?"
Silently glancing at the man who assisted him, Tōsaka Tokiomi thought that he was indeed the genius of the Clock Tower, acting decisively and straightforwardly, not at all as arrogant as the rumors said.
Sensing the message from the familiar, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked deeply at everyone, turned around and quickly left the meeting room.
Seeing the atmosphere in the meeting room getting more and more heated, Kotomine Kirei and Waver did not say a word, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt a headache. At this moment, a bat suddenly flew in from outside and landed on Emiya Kiritsugu's shoulder. It was a familiar, the familiar of his assistant Hisau Maiya.
This was Tōsaka Tokiomi's own wish, and he naturally believed that most masters were the same as him. However, he did not know that no one cared about the so-called root except himself.
Toosaka Tokiomi's smile was a little stiff. He wanted to make the contract as detailed as possible, but a contract that was too detailed would put him in a passive position.
Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled calmly: "You are all excellent magicians, and you have only one purpose in participating in this Holy Grail War, which is to reach the root through the Holy Grail."
To Tōsaka Tokiomi's surprise, the person who took the initiative to help him out was the most unlikely person, Emiya Kiritsugu. Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu's slightly listless and gloomy face, although Tōsaka Tokiomi despised the other side's magus's behavior, he still couldn't help but be a little cautious.
Kenneth tapped the table lightly and interrupted, "Master Tohsaka, I understand all of this. Everyone here is willing to come here and wants to work together to eliminate Berserker, so you should just take out the contract!"
"Stop joking. What qualifications do you have for me to be sincere to you?"
"Okay, Master Toosaka, there's no need to say anything extra, let's get straight to the point!" Kenneth said with a little annoyance, glaring fiercely at Weber opposite him.
"Hahaha, do you think you can beat me?" Kenneth laughed angrily.
"Then I can only use other methods to remove Saber's curse!"
The meeting room was in complete silence, and the four Masters suddenly understood why Emiya Kiritsugu had left. If I remembered correctly, they were able to gather together in peace and discuss how to annihilate Berserker because the church had temporarily changed the rules. All Masters temporarily stopped fighting until Caster and his Master were eliminated, and the Holy Grail War would resume.
"It is indeed beyond my expectation that all of you can be here!" Tōsaka Tokiomi spoke to break the silence, always maintaining his calm elegance. Even when Emiya Kiritsugu, whom he regarded as an alien, was present, he did not behave in a rude manner.
A sharp blade-like light flashed in Emiya Kiritsugu's cold eyes: "Master Lancer, is this your sincerity?"
"Since we have the same goal, then the obstacles that stand in our way can be regarded as common enemies." Tōsaka Tokiomi glanced at everyone and said, "Caster and Berserker are our common enemies. Caster's wanton use of magic has threatened our mystery. The church has issued a subjugation order against him, and Berserker..."
From this we can see that if Kotomine Kirei was a girl, even if her attributes were three-no, Irisviel would not escape the fate of being green.
His fiancée Sora is obsessed with Lancer, to the point where she has done nothing but reveal it in broad daylight.
Tōsaka Tokiomi raised his hand and waved, and five contracts wrapped in magic were spread out in front of everyone. The armistice contract signed privately by the Master had nothing to do with the church.
This scene left the others confused, but soon, as the familiars passed on the information one after another, their expressions began to change.
Waver bowed his head and said nothing. Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table, wondering what he was thinking. Kotomine Kirei stared at the jumping fingertips with burning eyes. Emiya Kiritsugu never did meaningless things. He felt that there must be a deep meaning in this.
The goal of the contract is very clear, to jointly eliminate Berserker Gandalf, and during this period no one (force) may attack other masters who have signed the contract. In between, some trivial details are also listed, such as intelligence sharing, no slacking, no selling out teammates, etc.
Golden light spread across the conference room, and a number of long spears and short swords emerged from the void with their hideous corners.
"Archer, please stay calm. A fight at this time will only benefit Berserker!" Toosaka Tokiomi cursed his father inwardly and hurriedly offered his most loyal advice.
"Idiot, you don't understand. Berserker and I never take these bastards seriously because they can't change anything."
Archer finished speaking, and projected the King's Treasure under Tōsaka Tokiomi's desperate gaze...
