A jeep was parked on the side of the national highway that led from the Einzbern forest to the nearby village.
Kiritsugu Emiya sat in the driver's seat, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his gaze fixed on the laptop beside him, which displayed a live feed of the Einzbern's courtyard—both video and audio.
"Should we proceed as planned?" Maiya Hisau, sitting in the back seat, her voice cold and precise, asked. Beside her sat Kayneth, bound and covered in explosives, his eyes vacant.
"No. This party will only push Rider towards the Einzbern. That would be unfavorable. It seems I underestimated Iskandar. That clownish display yesterday—I was fooled. Even as a Servant, a king is still a king."
"Should we allow the party to continue, then?"
"We wait. That arrogant Queen of Heroes at the Tohsaka mansion—she'll attend. And once the party's in full swing, once the alcohol flows—Tokiomi Tohsaka won't be able to resist. He'll make a move. And then... we'll capitalize on the chaos."
Kiritsugu sneered.
He'd only exchanged a few messages with Tokiomi, but he'd sensed the man's rot, the stench of a traditional Magician's hypocrisy.
Given the opportunity for a cheap shot, Tokiomi Tohsaka would take it.
