(This chapter was secretly coded by Xiao Ai under the eyes of the leader. Since he didn’t have time to proofread, it may be a little messy. Let’s make do with it for now~)
"I finally understand why so many people accuse loli..."
After being a little amused by Gaia's cute coquettish moves, Ilia gained a new understanding of loli's lethality. (Little Ai: Ah~ you finally understand the great sentiments and thoughts of my clan)
Really! Ilia: I am a loli, not a loli controller. Xiao Ai: OTL can’t complain...)
"By the way! Little Gaia, doesn't it matter if you stay here all the time?"
Ilia asked the question in her heart. After all, as Gaia, she should never be so leisurely.
"Can't you stay here? You don't like me staying here?"
Gaia held back her mouth a little aggrievedly, thinking that Ilia was giving an eviction order.
"No, it's not! Little Gaia can stay as long as she wants. I'm just asking you, aren't you busy?"
Ilia quickly denied Gaia's misunderstanding. She was afraid that if she didn't explain clearly, Gaia might cry directly.
“Very busy, lots to do!”
Gaia didn't understand what Illya wanted to ask, so she answered the literal question directly.
"...I mean, if you are very busy, don't you have to deal with those things and just stay here with me, is it okay?"
Ilia decided that she would never mince words when talking to Gaia in the future. She had already despaired of Gaia's IQ.
"Oh! So that's it. It's no problem. What's here is just a projection of me."
"projection?"
Hearing this, Illya pinched Gaia's left and right cheeks in a daze, and when the other party showed a confused expression, she suddenly pulled them to both sides.
"Same, same, same consumption! Nizaga divine horse?! Buyazala is here..." (It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much! What are you doing?! Stop pulling...)
Gaia's eyes burst into tears instantly, which showed how hard Ilia was pulling.
"Ah? Oh! Sorry, sorry, little Gaia. I just didn't expect your projection to be so real. It would be great if my clone magic could be as realistic as your projection, so that I don't have to be fooled by those guys.
I was forced to run around and hide here and there..."
Seeing that Gaia was bursting into tears, Ilia quickly let go of her hand and gently kneaded the two tender cheeks that were red and swollen due to her strong pulling.
"Hmph! Don't compare my abilities with the crappy magic of humans. You must know that I am Gaia, the collective consciousness of the planet. To humans, I am an omnipotent god!"
Gaia didn't give Ilia any face at all, which shows that she was really a little angry by Ilia's behavior just now.
"Okay, my omnipotent little Gaia."
Illya didn't take it seriously and followed Gaia's wishes and praised her.
"Hmph! It's good to know... No, why do you keep calling me little Gaia?"
It seems that Gaia should add "natural" before the title of idiot. It was only now that she discovered what Ilia called her.
"Well? Is there something wrong?"
Illya imitated Irisviel and naturally put on a "pure, cute, silly" look, pretending to be stupid.
"Of course that's not right! My name is Gaia! Don't add small letters in front of it! You must know that I have existed much longer than you!"
Gaia didn't do what Ilia did, maybe the fool didn't understand the meaning of that expression in the first place.
"Okay, I understand. Gaia...chan~"
Illya nodded to show that she understood, but she still dragged out the word "Jiang" after Gaia's name. (Xiao Ai: I think all the otakus understand what "Jiang" means~ I can't explain it.
~)
"Um, um?! It's Gaia!!"
Gaia was deceived by Illya's long sound, and the moment she nodded in response, the word " Jiang " followed.
"Yes, Gaia~chan~"
"GAIA!!!"
"Gaia-chan~"
"...Then, then I will also call you little Illya! Illya-chan!!!"
After some corrections failed, Gaia thought of a way to fight back.
"...Speaking of which, the place where the soul returns is so vast that there is no end in sight."
Ilia began to ignore Gaia and looked around.
"Illya-chan!!! Illya-chan!!! Illya-chan!!!"
Seeing that Illya didn't respond at all and turned her attention to other things, Gaia began to circle around Illya while shouting "Illya-chan" to get a response.
"By the way, I don't know why it was so noisy from the beginning. Where did Gaia-chan go?"
"……snort!!!"
Gaia knew that Illya did this on purpose, but she had no choice but to snort and then nestled back into Illya's arms again.
"you do this delibrately!"
"Little Gaia? What are you talking about? What is intentional or not?"
Illya's skill at pretending to be stupid was worthy of Irisviel's true inheritance, and her innocent expression made Gaia know that she didn't know how to speak.
Gaia's eyes turned cunningly, and she suddenly thought of something Ilia did before.
"Ilia...chan!!!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Why, why weren't you fooled?"
Looking at Gaia's disappointed and confused look, Ilia almost laughed. Gaia was rolling her eyes in front of her. Could she not know what Gaia was up to?
?!
'Little Gaia, although we are all defined as fools by the Alaya Consciousness... Well, even if we are all fools, there is still an IQ gap between fools and fools!'
"Little Gaia, I'm leaving here soon and going back to the lower world. What about you?"
After all, she promised not to bully Gaia any more, so Ilia did not go any further and changed the topic.
"Well? You want to go back to the lower world? Then I will go back too."
Seeing Gaia's cute expression with her head tilted in thought, Illya suddenly had some idea in her mind.
"Hey, little Gaia, what's here now is just a projection of you, right? So if this projection doesn't return to the original body, what impact will it have?"
"No! A projection doesn't cost me much power."
"Oh, that's good. Then do you want to play in the lower world with me for a while?"
At this point, Illya's thoughts were revealed. That's right! She wanted to abduct Gaia! Although she was only abducting a projection of Gaia, she was definitely the first person in the world who dared to do this.
"Want to play with Ilia? Okay! Okay!"
Gaia was happily abducted. (Heavy fog)
――――Scene segmentation――――
In an abandoned park in Dongmu City, neat rows of garlands are placed around a huge silver cross. In two days, it will be the Dongmu Disaster Memorial Day, commemorating the disaster that happened in Dongmu City two years ago.
The people involved in that huge disaster.
At dusk, just as the mourners were leaving the park one after another, a thin figure came here in the last ray of dusk.
This is a little boy with orange hair. Today he was asked by his adoptive father to pay his respects to some people.
After the little boy came to the front of the cross, he placed the bouquet of flowers he was holding at the bottom of the cross.
"Yo! Good evening!"
Just when the little boy was looking at the bouquet and thinking about something, a question from the night came from above his head.
"who?"
In the little boy's raised gaze, a girl was sitting on the towering top of the silver cross, and in the girl's arms sat a younger-looking loli.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
With that said, the girl sitting on top of the cross pointed to the garlands around her.
"Have you had any recent activities?"
"Oh! Yes, in two days it will be the second anniversary of the Dongmu disaster, and this place will be used as the venue for the memorial service."
Although he was a little confused about the girl's appearance, the little boy still answered the girl's questions responsibly.
"The second anniversary of the Dongmu disaster? It turns out that two years have passed... It seems that it is exactly what Alaya Shi said, and the timelines on both sides are different..."
At this point, the girl's identity becomes clear. She is Ilia who has just come out of the soul's home, and the one in her arms is the projection of Gaia who was "abducted" by Ilia.
"Thank you, kid, my name is Ilia, what's yours?"
"No, it's nothing. My name is Emiya Shirou."
"Emiya...Shirou? This is really..."
Ilia sighed at the coincidence in the world.
"Your father...well, I should say he is your adoptive father. His name is Emiya Kiritsugu, right?"
"Yes, yes. But how did you know? Do you know my adoptive father?"
Emiya Shirou was a little surprised, because in the two years since he was adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu, he had never heard Emiya Kiritsugu say that any acquaintance was there.
"Ah, yes. Speaking of which, we are still old acquaintances..."
After Illya meaningfully affirmed Shirou Emiya's question, she looked at the waning moon that was slowly rising.
"He is my master's beloved person..."
"What did you say?"
Because Illya spoke very softly when she spoke of "the one she loves", Emiya Shirou did not hear her clearly.
"It's nothing. Shirou, please give Kiritsugu a message, saying that the illegal 'caster' is back and will visit him soon."
Illya did not tell Emiya Shirou about the Fourth Holy Grail War because it was not the time yet.
"Oh well."
Emiya Shirou had an attitude that didn't know what rejection was, and his good-natured character had already appeared.
"Okay, kid, go back quickly. It's getting late now. It's no longer the time for kids like you to hang out."
"I see."
Hearing this, Emiya Shirou nodded.
"Also, sister Ilia, please go home early."
Before leaving, Emiya Shirou kindly left these words.
"Go home? Haha... I can't go back to my home long ago..."
Ilia tightened her arms around Gaia slightly, and after a gentle smile, the two of them disappeared into the night.
