Kiritsugu looked at Shichen and said coldly, "I don't know why you're acting like we're old friends, but don't get ahead of yourself! Until I completely trust you, every move you make is under my surveillance. Don't think that having some power to potentially deal with the Greater Grail will make me lower my guard against you."
Shichen felt a sense of helpless frustration in his heart, knowing that someone like Kiritsugu, who had survived countless trials of life and death, would not easily drop his defenses. He took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible: "Kiritsugu, I understand your caution. But time is tight; we don't have much time for you to slowly vet me. The Greater Grail could make a move on Irisviel at any moment. Every second we delay increases the danger by another fraction."
Kiritsugu frowned slightly, a flash of hesitation passing through his eyes as he seemed to weigh Shichen's words. "You're right, time waits for no one. To end the Holy Grail War and live a life together with Iris... there's no harm in telling you about this wish of mine."
