	He had not come to this place since summoning Archer ten days ago. ~~And~~ the Western-~~styled~~ mansion he had spent his time in as an apprentice magus three years ago ~~was~~ the one place in Fuyuki he felt closer to than even the church.		He had not come to this place since summoning Archer ten days ago.

	Though the guest had arrived at an unusual hour, Tōsaka Tokiomi still appeared quickly at the door after hearing the doorbell.

Though the guest had arrived at an unusual hour, Tōsaka Tokiomi still appeared quickly at the door after hearing the doorbell. Perhaps he had not slept at all since leaving the Fuyuki Church the previous night. Kirei bowed deeply to Tokiomi in the manner of a disciple to his master.

	"So it ~~is like~~ this... ~~this is certainly hurried~~. To part with you in such a manner—I ~~much regret it, too~~."		"So it has come to this... and on such short notice. To part with you in such a manner—I have my regrets as well."

	~~Though~~ Tokiomi spoke ~~thus~~, it was ~~impossible to see any expression~~ of guilt on his face. ~~This~~ was to be expected. Tokiomi understood that Kotomine Kirei was but a pawn the Tōsaka family had borrowed from the Holy Church.		Tokiomi spoke these words, but there was no trace of guilt on his face. That was to be expected. Tokiomi understood that Kotomine Kirei was but a pawn the Tōsaka family had borrowed from the Holy Church.

	To Kirei, the Heaven’s Feel would yield no reward, ~~and was but~~ a task only necessary because it ~~was~~ assigned from ~~above—seen from this angle,~~ Kirei’s ~~current~~ parting from Tokiomi was ~~neither~~ a rejection ~~nor a~~ betrayal, but a release from duty. Coming ~~especially~~ to say ~~farewell~~ was ~~also only for the sake~~ of ~~formalities~~.		To Kirei, the Heaven’s Feel would yield no reward, being a task only necessary because it had been assigned by unseen powers from above. Kirei’s parting from Tokiomi was not a rejection or betrayal, but a release from duty. Coming to say his good-byes was purely an act of formality.

	~~Though~~ now ~~there was no one in~~ the Tōsaka residence ~~other than Tokiomi~~, the guest room was nevertheless spotlessly maintained.

	Kirei raised his head, seeing the ~~earnest and sincere gaze~~ in Tokiomi’s eyes, and said to himself.		Kirei raised his head, seeing the sincerity in Tokiomi’s eyes, and said to himself.

	"It is true that we met only because of the Heaven's Feel, but no matter what, I am very proud to have had you as a disciple."		"It is true that we met only because of the Heaven's Feel, but no matter what the circumstances, I am very proud to have had you as a disciple."

	Hearing this, Kirei lost control of his emotions ~~for a moment~~ and laughed out loud.

But Tokiomi, completely misunderstanding his disciple's intentions, continued to speak in earnest.

	"~~Though talent~~ is not something that can be taken by force of will, but your sincere attitude towards training as one who walks this path is something that even I, your teacher, am very much impressed ~~by—Kirei~~, from this day on you can~~, like your father,~~ continue to fight for ~~the purpose of ensuring~~ the best interests of ~~this~~ Tōsaka family. ~~How about it~~?"		"Talent is not something that can be taken by force of will, but your sincere attitude towards training as one who walks this path is something that even I, your teacher, am very much impressed with.
