Emiya Ilya

Chapter 232 6-35. Einzbern

Back in time a little to 6:[-] p.m.,
"Ah~"

Emiya Shirou sighed helplessly, he could move his limbs, but he didn't feel real, as if his hands and feet no longer belonged to him.

Then, the word "big" was unfolded, lying on the floor of the dojo in Wei Palace.

"If that's the case, just take a break!"

"Shh-"

At this time, the sliding door of the dojo was opened by someone.

"Shirou?"

It was the voice of a certain girl. The person who came was the blond-haired and blue-eyed servant who had been summoned by Emiya Shirou in a blue dress with his armor removed——Saber.

"Ah, it's Saber. I'm sorry, Saber doesn't seem to be able to receive you right now."

It's a bit impolite to lie down when guests come to visit, but there's nothing I can do about it now.

"It's okay, Shirou. I've already heard from Illya."

"Really? That's really nice."

"..."

Looking at the humble gentleman in front of him, Saber couldn't help but think that it's great that this person is his Master, but the huge contrast also made Saber wonder if this person is really that man's (taught) son?
"What's wrong Saber?"

Seeing Saber suddenly staring at him in a daze, Emiya Shirou said concerned.

"Shirou, you've become stronger!"

"Does Saber know all this?"

"Well, because I am Shirou's servant~ You can feel the master's state."

"Actually, it's nothing. According to Illya, it just has a certain anti-magic power and the simplest inspiration."

"By the way, there must be something wrong with Saber coming to me, right? What's wrong?"

"Illya asked me to help you back to your room. It's winter now. The floor of the dojo is very cold. You might catch a cold if you stay here."

"Illya..."

Emiya Shirou thought that the angry Illya would let him cool himself in the dojo at least until eating, and Illya's move surprised Emiya.

But think about it, this is also reasonable, after all, the child has always been very gentle.

"Illya and Shirou have a good relationship~ That child, I care about you very much. I don't know what happened, but if Shirou apologizes to Illya properly, I think she will forgive you."

"Ah."

Emiya Shirou also agrees with Saber's opinion.

"But before that, Shirou..."

Suddenly the atmosphere changed drastically, Saber, who was still tender just now, became serious.

"?!"

"Shirou, do you know 'Einzbern'?"

"Ein... Zbern?!"

Don't say you know, this is even the first time Emiya Shirou heard this name.

"Really?"

Looking at Emiya Shirou's confused face, it goes without saying that Saber also knew the answer.

"What's wrong? That Einzbern?"

When Einzbern was mentioned, Saber's complexion obviously turned pale, which made Emiya Shirou's curiosity even more vigorous.

"The Master who summoned me from the Holy Grail last time was none other than Emiya Kiritsugu representing Einzbern!"

"?!"

It is indeed shocking news that Saber participated in the last Holy Grail War, but Emiya Shirou is more concerned about:

"Kiritsugu?!"

Hearing this familiar name from Saber.

"Is it the Master of the last Holy Grail War?!"

"Ah."

Without denying it, Saber straightforwardly admitted.

"?!"

Emiya Shirou, who was still somewhat skeptical, began to believe this under Saber's blunt influence.

"Emiya Kiritsugu and the Einzbern family gave birth to a son, whose name is——Iliasviel von Einzbern!"

Then came the second shocking news.

"Ilyasviel..."

Speaking of this, Emiya Shirou also wanted to understand something.

"As the founder of the Holy Grail War, Einzbern, one of the three royal families, will definitely participate in the Holy Grail War this time, and judging from your situation, Illya should have defected from Einzbern with Emiya Kiritsugu The Lun family."

"Ah~ I think so too."

From Saber's few words, Emiya Shirou also roughly got the beginning and end of the whole incident.

Why Illya knows magic, why she knows about the Holy Grail War, and many other questions have been answered at this moment.

"For more content, you have to ask Illya herself~"

"Ah, I know."

……

...

【I would like to warn the general public to pay attention to the safety of gas use...】

The presenters on TV are being "vaccinated" about last night's gas leak.

"?!"

The sudden gas leak case, and the Holy Grail War...

"Illya, could it be that..."

Emiya Shiro couldn't help linking the two together.

"Well, Caster did it!"

"?!"

Emiya Shirou was only suspicious here, and asked Illya for confirmation, but Illya already knew the specific servants.

"Where is the opponent's stronghold?"

"According to the information from the familiar, it is at Liudong Temple!"

The real culprit and the stronghold are known? !

"Then we..."

Before Emiya Shirou finished speaking, Illya shook her head.

"Caster exposed his stronghold with confidence, which shows that the other party is not afraid of someone daring to challenge."

"I have already investigated. The other party has set up a powerful [anti-spirit barrier], and the servants cannot enter at all. Although there is no barrier at the mountain gate, there is an Assassin guarding it."

"Assassin?!"

In Caster's stronghold, a servant of another job agency appeared, so it is very likely...

"Has the Master of Assassin cooperated with Caster?"

"This is very possible, so if we go to the other party's stronghold now..."

Illya didn't finish her sentence, but Emiya Shirou also understood what Illya meant.

"One against two, the situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable."

"Yeah. But Shirou, you need to know that even if it's not a one-on-two, the chances of rushing into the magician's stronghold and fighting the opponent are not great."

"Shirou, do you remember? When he was stabbed by Lancer, the wound healed quickly."

"?!"

After being reminded by Illya, Emiya Shirou also understood something.

"Magicians who fight in their own stronghold will receive bonuses!"

There is no doubt that it is very disadvantageous to attack Caster.

"but……"

Even so, Emiya Shirou didn't want to just let it go.

"We can't let that Caster continue to endanger the lives of the townspeople!"

Illya spoke as if she understood Emiya Shirou's thoughts.

"!?"

"Caster actually intends to absorb life force to replenish magic power, then he will definitely come out at night!"

When Illya said this, Emiya Shiro also understood Illya's plan.

"And we will wipe them out in the town!" X2
The two said in unison.

"..."

The thought of seeing through each other made the two of them stunned for a moment.

"Hehe~"

Then, as if they had figured out something, the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Illya... have you forgiven me?"

Emiya Shirou asked tentatively.

"Ok!"

Elijah nodded without hesitation.

"Ah, I knew Illya was the most..."

Emiya Shirou's smile darkened in an instant when he saw the adult-sized maid outfit suddenly appearing in Illya's hand.
