Back in the present day, Kiritsugu visits an ailing Irisviel in the storehouse. She gives her husband the scabbard Avalon and asks him to bring their daughter Illya to see Japan once the War is over. Learning from Maiya that Saber has gone to battle Rider, Kiritsugu assigns Maiya to protect his wife while he goes to assassinate Tokiomi. Meanwhile, Waver heads to the forest where he summoned Rider in order to replenish his mana before Rider's intended fight with Saber, whom he wishes to battle to set her straight on what it means to be a king. Kariya has a nightmare in which Berserker speaks to him before awakening chained in the cellar of the Matō house. To heal Kariya, Zōken Matō forces him to swallow the crest worm that first tasted Sakura's purity. Irisviel talks with Maiya about the latter's past as a child soldier and implores her to live her own life after the war. She then tells Maiya of her wish that this war will be the last so that Illya can live a normal life. At the same time, Kiritsugu arrives at the Tōsaka mansion, only to discover that Tokiomi is dead. In the interval, Rider attacks Irisviel and Maiya. Kiritsugu uses a Command Seal to order Saber to return to the storehouse, where she finds Maiya injured and Irisviel abducted by Rider, prompting her to give chase on her motorcycle. On reaching the storehouse, Kiritsugu finds the dying Maiya and comforts her in her last moments through his own tears.
