Chapter 43: Illya the housekeeper

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Regarding the meeting at Fuyuki Church late at night, since Tokiomi Tosaka stipulated the number of participants in the conditions, both parties could only bring one servant and one accompanying person.

So Illya chose to stay behind and let Saber and Kuu Maiya accompany Irisviel to Fuyuki Church. Because compared to her own treatment, Saber's scabbard can stabilize Irisviel's body more. Besides, she didn't want to

Facing the King of Heroes' lewd gaze, after all, she was also booked by the King of Heroes as one of his collections.

After Irisviel and the others left the stronghold, Ilia, who felt a little bored by herself, slipped out and planned to have a drink with the Conqueror and explore the location of Berserker.

"Yo! I'm here to play! Rider, I'm here to drink with you!"

Since it was late at night, Illya couldn't enter through the main entrance, so she looked for the Conqueror's magic power and found an open window to climb in.

"Why?"

The moment Ilia landed, several magic missiles quickly hit her.

After waving her hand and using the magic power in the space to neutralize the magic missiles, Illya looked at the source of the attack.

There, the rider's master, Weber, was looking at her with some horror.

"Hmm? You brat, are you there too? Where's Rider? Why is it that only his magic power is there? Has he turned into a spirit?"

"You, what are you doing here?!"

Weber didn't listen to Illya's question, and just asked Illya's purpose with an overly frightened look.

"Ah? You brat, can't you understand human language? Didn't I tell you that I came here to drink with Rider!"

"Really, is this really all? You're not here to kill me?"

"You? I'm sorry, you're not qualified enough to let me take action!"

Illya shook her little finger ominously.

"Okay! Rider, come out! It seems that your master's courage has not been tempered enough by you!"

"Haha! I didn't expect the little lady to come here today!"

After a hearty laugh, the majestic figure of the Conquering King finally appeared.

"Hey! Boy! Did you hear what the little lady said? You don't have enough courage!"

Hearing that the King of Conquerors spoke so highly of himself, Weber could only helplessly roll his eyes. Asking him to compare his courage with the Servant? Isn't that asking for death?

"Little miss, I don't have any delicious wine like Archer here!"

After teaching Weber a lesson, the conquering king shook his head at Ilia with some regret.

"Hey! Don't worry! Look, what is this?"

Illya chuckled at the Conqueror's regret, and then took out something from her sleeves.

"Oh! Isn't this Archer's golden wine bottle?"

After seeing clearly what Ilia had taken out, the Conqueror's eyes suddenly widened and he almost stopped drooling.

"How are my preparations? I'm satisfied!"

Illya shook the gold bottle proudly, and the Conqueror's eyes also shook left and right.

"Oh! If that's the case, then I'll accompany you! But..."

The Conqueror King composed himself and asked Illya a question.

"Little miss, why don't you go find Saber or Archer? Saber and you are in the same camp, she should be able to accompany you at any time, right? As for Archer, doesn't he have more wine? I think little miss is

You like this kind of wine very much, right? Why did you come to me?"

"Well, my Master and Saber couldn't take me there today because they had something to do. I was left to look after the house. I felt bored and ran out. Besides, don't you think drinking depends on the partner? In Archer's arrogance

Do you think I can still drink in front of you? So I can only come to you. Although your master is not very good, I still like you."

Ilia waved her hand indifferently and explained the reason.

"Oh! Thank you very much for your favor, young lady! In this case, it would be unreasonable for me not to accompany you!"

Having said this, the Conqueror King turned his head and looked at Weber.

"Kid, go get two wine glasses!"

"……What?"

Weber stared at the Conqueror with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Didn't she come to you for a drink? She is your guest, not mine! Why do you want me to get a wine glass to entertain her?!"

"Since you know that the young lady is my guest, do you want me, the master, to leave the guest alone and go get the wine glass? That's why I asked you to get it!"

The Conquering King naturally summoned Weber.

"Okay! Why don't I go?"

Finally, Weber gave in and ran downstairs to get the wine glass.

Weber thought about it for a while and figured out that if he asked the Conqueror to get the wine glass, he would most likely be left to face Ilia alone. He didn't want to face the person who was completely in his mind.

Illya is a "female devil". After all, Illya's several threats left a deep impression on Weber.

"Hey! Rider, you have to regain your strength quickly. I guess the Holy Grail War is almost over. Saber and I don't want to be defeated when we face you."

When Weber's footsteps faded away, Illya said something a little irrelevant to the Conqueror.

However, the Conqueror King immediately understood what Illya meant.

"...It seems that the young lady discovered it after all!"

"Hmph! Do you think that your poor concealment skills can escape the eyes of this little...caster?"

Because she was conquered by Miss Wang and was used to being called Miss, Ilia almost blurted out the words "I am Miss".

"Haha! It seems that I have really underestimated the little lady! But little lady, you don't have to worry! I, the Conqueror King, am not someone who can be defeated so easily."

"Oh? It seems you have a way to regain your strength. Well, I'm worried for nothing."

Illya glanced at the King of Conqueror somewhat unexpectedly but also expectedly. Because if her memory was correct, the King of Conqueror should have had an even fight with Saber after that, so it must have been the recovery of the King of Conqueror.

A result that comes only with strength.

"So, it's you young ladies who need to be careful when the time comes!"

The Conqueror King reminded Illya in turn.

"Oh? Really? Then I'll wait and see!"

Then, the two servants looked at each other and smiled.

"Huh? What's wrong? These two people got drunk and went crazy before they even had a drink?"

Regarding this situation, Weber, who had just brought the wine glass, was confused.

――――Plot division――――

After Illya and the Conqueror finished drinking, they returned directly to the stronghold. Looking for the location of berserker? Sorry, Illya has forgotten it.

Not long after, Irisviel and the other three also returned from Fuyuki Church.

"how's it going?"

Illya asked Irisviel about the outcome of the meeting.

"Well, we have temporarily formed an alliance with Tohsaka. After defeating Rider and Berserker, we will then have a duel. As a prerequisite for the alliance, Kotomine Kirei withdraws from the Holy Grail War. But..."

After Irisviel sorted out her thoughts for a while, she stated the main points of the meeting, leaving a "but" at the end.

"In exchange, you and Saber's treasures will have usage restrictions."

"Well...then what are the usage restrictions?"

Illya could roughly guess the contents of the alliance agreement, so she was not surprised by what Irisviel said.

"...In Fuyuki City, the use of Noble Phantasms on the ground is unconditionally prohibited. Even in the air, the same applies if it will indirectly cause harm to the residents."

Irisviel paused for a moment, then repeated Tosaka Tokiomi's original words.
