Emerald eyes stared at the figure of father and daughter playing at the entrance of the forest from the window of the castle. Why was there only the figure of father and daughter playing? That was because Illya, who felt that she was being ignored, simply gave up all the space.
After giving it to the father and daughter, he ran to the library in the castle and used the recording function of origin-logic to become a "book thief".
The figure of the owner of emerald eyes stood by the window. He looked weak and had an ethereal feeling far away from the fireworks of the world. He was light and soft, with charming blond hair neatly coiled on his head, and his slender body was wearing an antique dress, although it completely matched the purdah.
The appearance of a daughter is beautiful, but the aura she exudes makes the air in the whole room tense just by staying in place, making it look solemn and cold. It can be said that the cold atmosphere is not so much the coldness of ice.
, rather, it is as refreshing and pure as a stream. For the heavy and gloomy winter scenery of Einzbern City, her existence seems out of place on a certain level.
"What are you looking at? Saber."
Irisviel shouted from behind.
The girl by the window, Saber turned around.
"Ling Qianjin and Kiritsugu are playing in the forest outside, and Caster was also there just now."
She seemed surprised or confused. Although there was a slight frown on her stiff expression, it did not damage the girl's beauty at all. Compared with a charming smile, she was more suitable for dignified and clear serious eyes. She was that kind of beauty with rare qualities.
This dignified presence.
How can people believe that she is the physical form of a heroic spirit?
However, she is a real "saber", one of the seven heroic spirits summoned by the Holy Grail, and a servant who occupies the seat of the strongest sword.
Irisviel stood beside her and looked out the window. Kiritsugu, who had Illyasviel riding on his shoulders, happened to be running deep into the forest.
"Is that side of Kiritsugu surprising to you?"
Looking at the smiling Irisviel, Saber nodded honestly.
From her position, she could barely see the girl's face, and could only see a little bit of the silver hair inherited from her mother. However, the high-pitched laughter she heard when she disappeared from her sight was indeed filled with joy. Based on this alone, it was enough
I was fully aware of the harmonious relationship between the playful father and daughter.
"To be honest, I have a more ruthless impression of my master. And there is also that strange 'caster', which always gives me an incomprehensible feeling."
Irisviel was very confused by Saber's words and smiled bitterly.
"Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. What's wrong with Caster?"
Because she didn’t want to get too deep into the question about the officer Kiritsugu, Irisviel changed the topic slightly after giving an ambiguous answer.
"Well...because I was a little concerned, I did some research..."
Seeing that Irisviel had some difficulties in telling her about the attitude of the military officer Kiritsugu towards her, Saber followed her wishes and turned the topic to Caster, that is, Illya.
on the body.
"Investigation? What did you investigate? Are there any difficult questions?"
Irisviel doesn’t know much about the investigation Saber mentioned.
"Historical information on important figures in the Christian faith."
Saber explained to Irisviel what she was investigating.
"The Cross? Why do you want to investigate the cross religion? Does it have anything to do with Caster?"
Although Irisviel is the master of Caster, in fact, not only herself, but no one in the entire Einzbern City knows more information about Illya.
"Whether it is from Caster's clothing or the weapons she uses, we can see the connection with the Cross. Also from the 'Holy Word Blessing' she used on Ling Qianjin that day, although she used an English curse at the time.
Wen, but that is an ancient art that can only be mastered by the Roman Orthodox people who have existed for the longest time. This is relatively clear to me, who has fought against the Roman Empire. And in my time, it was completely
I have never heard of such a person."
"Then is it possible that she could be the French Joan of Arc, just different from the legendary image?"
After listening to Saber's narration, Irisviel came up with her own guess.
"I have also guessed this, but one thing that is certain in the legend is that Joan of Arc is famous as a holy knight, and Caster should be famous for the large number of gems on her body and the huge
A silver cross is the right one, and I couldn’t see any chivalry in her body, so I rejected this.”
Here Saber paused for a moment and then revealed the purpose of his investigation.
"That 'caster' is very strange. A person with that kind of power will definitely be a big figure in the Christian religion and a famous existence in history. But no matter how much I search, I can't find any information about her.
There's not even anyone similar to her. And she also said that it's okay not to know her real name, because it's impossible for anyone in 'this world' to know it..."
Saber specially emphasized her voice when she said the words "in this world".
"Huh?! Do you mean..."
Irisviel was a little unbelievable at the answer she came up with.
"Yes. I think it's possible that Caster didn't exist in this world."
However, Saber seriously agreed with her conjecture.

At this time, Ilia, who was working as a "book thief", suddenly sneezed and rubbed her nose in confusion.
"It's strange. It's clear that there is no dust here after magic treatment. How can I sneeze? Could this body still catch a cold?!"
After being transformed by alchemy, Illya's body was almost completely replaced by magic power. Now her body's functions are completely maintained by magic power like a heroic spirit, so disease is completely out of reach for her.
Unless there is some kind of germ that can infect magic in the world.
After checking that there was nothing unusual about her body, Illya continued her "work". Although these were all completed by the origin-logic in her hand, she herself was just watching from the sidelines.
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for Ilia, I would have almost been stuck in the gap between time and space and couldn't get out..."
After briefly recalling her experience of being summoned from the Throne of Heroes through some kind of cheating, Illya still felt a little frightened.
When Illya was halfway through the summoned transfer and was about to pass through the gap between the Throne of Heroes and the real world, the world actually re-corrected and locked the summoned object back to the original owner, causing her to be directly stuck in the gap. Although
She wanted to rely on her own magic power to complete the remaining steps of the summoning transfer, but she couldn't do it because the world was completely stripped of her guidance coordinates. Fortunately, Illyasviel's magic power fluctuated at this time.
The mistake was transmitted from the summoning circle, and this allowed her to complete the so-called "really! That's a bad summoning!" summoning technique.
"And this body can't even kill itself now. It's almost trapped forever in a place even worse than the Throne of Heroes! And this world is too unkind. It just leaves me there. I didn't expect it.
Even the protective cover during teleportation has been taken away!!! Although you can't die, the pain is still inevitable..."
Ilia's body trembled violently, as if she felt the space storm that had torn her body apart several times when she was stuck in the fault.
"No! I can't think about it any more. If I think about it a few more times, I'm afraid my head will be broken..."
Illya immediately interrupted her memories and returned her attention to the work of guarding.
"Wrong! Master! Your head will not be broken by this! It should be your spirit that will be broken by this!"
However, Illya, who had just concentrated her attention, was knocked down by Origin-Logic's complaints, and she huddled in the corner in an OTL posture, feeling depressed.
Staying in a dark corner, Illya accidentally discovered a notebook hidden by magic. Driven by curiosity, she opened the notebook that seemed to be quite old and started reading.
"Origin-logic! Transmit the secret content of Einzbern City to me!"
As the notebook was turned to the end, Illya impatiently issued an order to origin-logic.
"realize! master! Data confirmed, transmitting..."
"...Really, the humans in this world are so bad!"
After carefully reading the data transmitted from Origin-Logic, Illya murmured to herself as if she was infected by the darkness here.
Only then did she understand why Illyasviel's magic wave happened to be connected to her at that time.
In fact, after meeting Ilyasviel, Illya already felt that there was a certain reason why she was summoned by Illyasviel.
Illyasviel von Einzbern and Illya Ellen Stein Trember are essentially similar.
Yes, they are similar. They are both creations of human desire. Driven by desire, human beings create man-made objects that are combined with countless tragedies.
From this, the world recognizes this as the "fate" between them that connects them.
Ilia, on the other hand, never thought of this aspect.
That notebook is the notebook of the "Winter Saint" of Einzbern City, a book of sad quotes.\
