There were four Masters, three Servants, and one Gaia, and they spent a leisurely day at Emiya's house.

If you don't count Shirou who was forced to train by Illya and Rin who was frowning and thinking, this was indeed a leisurely day.

To this day, the Holy Grail War has been going on for quite some time.

Except for the various "unexpected" accidents that are still happening, it can be said that Fuyuki City was in a state of calm yesterday, although it was a false calm.

The sunshine in winter always feels a little late.

As the morning sun rises, sunlight extends into the house.

A small fair face was gradually illuminated.

The eyelids stained by the morning light moved slightly. Under the slowly opened eyelids, there was a pair of light blue eyes.

The empty and dull light blue eyes kept adjusting, and finally focused their gaze.

He sat up and smoothed down his long, light blond hair that was somewhat scattered.

Then, he gently pulled off the four small hands on his left and right sides.

'Sure enough, that was a dream...'

Illya narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the rising sun outside the window.

'I never thought I would have such a dream...'

Illya raised the corners of her mouth slightly, it was a self-deprecating smile.

'It should be said that I...can still dream...'

…

Dream, a place where all wishes can come true.

When people encounter things that are difficult to achieve in reality.

In the dream, you can get the joy of realization without any scruples.

Dreams are omnipotent things.

At the same time, dreams can’t accomplish anything.

The clearly drawn dividing line between reality and dreams shatters everything.

As a result, dreams are still dreams after all, and reality is reality after all.

Dreams, over the course of thousands of years, are a function that will gradually be forgotten for Illya.

She no longer desires extravagantly, and finds her own comfort in dreams.

Sleep has long since become dispensable, and now it is just maintained as a habit as a human being.

…

During the period when the soul has just awakened from this body.

Ilia prayed every moment, praying that this was all just a dream.

He died and so did she.

So he, who had no body, entered her body, whose soul was about to be extinguished.

So he lived on her behalf, using this body to live on.

This kind of development is really no different from a dream.

However, Illya finally had to give up and continue praying.

Reality tells the truth of all this cruelly and mercilessly.

No matter he or she, in the end they are just dice on the wheel of fate.

What will happen, how it will turn out, everything is unpredictable.

…

'I...what's the point of living like this?'

Perhaps due to the influence of the sudden dream, Illya became a little confused.

"Big sister...hug..."

A pair of small hands wrapped around him at this moment and grabbed a corner of his clothes.

'He is really a troublesome child...'

Ilia gently stroked the other party's silver-gray hair twice and adjusted her sleeping position.

'Yes... why are you thinking about these things now? Irisviel, I will definitely fulfill the agreement I made with you.'

Seeing Ilyasviel, who was still sleeping comfortably and showing a contented expression, a smile appeared on Ilia's face, gentle but firm.

…

In a leisurely and quiet coffee shop, a young man with slightly dark skin opened the door.

Amidst the jingling of the doorbell, the boy put down the suitcase in his hand and waved to a clerk behind the counter.

"Fengkong! I'm back!"

Behind the counter, the uniformed clerk looked about the same age as the boy who walked in.

"Bai Zhen? Are you back? Where did you go this time?"

"Germany."

"Oh? Germany seems to be a good place! How about the legendary German beer and sausages?"

"Oh! There's no need to say that! The authentic ones are better!"

Just as the boy touched his chin, it was as if he was recalling the moment when the delicious food entered his mouth.

The clerk frowned and looked at the boy seriously.

"Hey, let me tell you, did you come to me as soon as you got off the plane?"

"Well... you also know the situation of my family. I don't want to go back yet, so I came to your place to kill some time first."

As he said that, the young man looked around.

"It's still the same here. Even though it's a day off, it's still so unpopular..."

"I want you to take care of it! Anyway, I'm just here to see the store. I can't take care of that much, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Hey! Don't be so cold! No matter what, this is your dad's shop, right? Aren't you going to want it in the future?"

"You...if others don't tell you, you are very interested in other people's housework..."

"This... As soon as I don't realize it, I will... ahahahaha..."

"Okay, let's go back after drinking this cup. Aren't you afraid that your father... uncle and aunt will be worried if you always act like this?"

The clerk handed him a cup of coffee and paused for a moment.

"Are you worried?...Worried about me? Also...it's just me being willful all the time..."

"It's good to know. In fact, uncle and aunt didn't do that kind of thing on purpose, right?"

"..."

The young man was silent for a moment, then picked up the coffee cup and drank all the coffee in one go.

"Well, thank you for the coffee. I'll give you the money later, so I'll go back."

The boy picked up his suitcase and moved outside the store.

"That's right! By the way, the coffee here is so delicious, why don't you promote it more! This won't work!"

"You guy! You'd better take care of yourself first!"

Amid the clerk's helpless complaints, the doorbell rang again, and the boy had already walked out.

"Really, don't you have the courage at the critical moment?"

In front of his home, the boy's hand on the doorknob was visibly shaking.

"This is not okay, I have to apologize. How can I stop here?"

Taking a deep breath, the young man turned the door handle and walked inside without hesitation.

"I'm back!"

Amidst the boy's shouts, a couple appeared and looked at the boy with excited expressions.

"I……"

Just when the boy was about to say something to the couple.

The young man's vision suddenly became distorted, and everything was fragmented and turned into deep darkness.

It turns out that everything is just a dream.

The dream finally came to reality in fragments.

So the girl woke up.

'Sure enough, that was a dream...'

Although she didn't make a sound, the girl's slightly moving lips expressed this meaning.

…

'Ah, I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing so early in the morning?'

In an instant, the gentle and firm expression on Ilia's face changed, and a devilish smile suddenly appeared.

Afterwards, in everyone's room, text suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.

"Something happens at school, so don't delay and get ready to go!"

'A dream? It's not bad to have it once in a while...'

Illya stretched out her hand to cover her eyes from the sunlight.

'Now, let me enjoy the fun of reality first!'
