In the living room of the Emiya family, everyone's eyes were focused on Illya.

Illya owes them an explanation.

"Shirou, tea!"

Illya knocked on the table without paying attention to everyone's gaze.

"Sister Ilia..."

"Tea!"

Before Shirou could say anything, he was blocked by the text that appeared in front of him.

"……I see."

Submitting to Illya's gaze, Shirou obediently went to make tea.

"Ask whatever you have. I will answer them one by one."

After Shirou brought the tea, Illya shrugged, waved her hand lightly and wrote the text.

"Um...Shenji's command spell is..."

This is the question raised by Shirou holding the tray, and it is also one of the questions that everyone wants to ask the most.

"What happened to Shinji's Command Seal?"

Illya tilted her head, wondering why Shirou was so obsessed with this issue.

"I used the Book of Pretender to activate his command spell, and then used the magic power in the Book of Pretender to erode his command spell. What happened after that, you also saw..."

Illya stretched out his hand, and Origin-Logic appeared in his hand. On the pages of the book that opened by themselves, three command spells with unique shapes suddenly appeared.

"Now, this is mine."

As soon as it lit up, Illya quickly closed the Origin-Logic because the looks from everyone looking at it were really strange.

"That is to say...you can deprive others of their Command Seals, right?"

At this time, Rin opened her mouth, looking a little uneasy.

"It's possible, but it's very troublesome."

Illya looked at Rin and saw that the other person had a rare expression of fear under her gaze, so she raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"What? Do you think I can directly deprive others of their Command Seals?"

"Holy, I remember the last Holy Grail War..."

Saber thought for a while and brought up the matter of the last Holy Grail War.

"That! It relies on the power of the contract to take away other people's command spells at once. As long as the other party doesn't agree when they sign the contract at the beginning. I can't do that kind of thing."

Ilia took a sip of tea.

"Shenji's situation is different from that time. My magic power has been eroded until now, and I have completely taken over the Command Seal. Moreover, a rookie magician like him didn't notice the abnormality of the Command Seal at all, so I was able to finally succeed. It's a little bit easier to change it.

If you are an experienced magician, you can just use your own magic power to counteract my magic power. It’s a very simple way to solve it.”

Hearing this, Lin let out a slight breath.

"How's it going? Are you relieved?"

Then, the words appeared in front of Rin as if he had guessed her actions.

"I, I don't! I just feel a little uneasy with such a dangerous person around me!"

Illya sipped her tea while watching Lin's defense with interest.

It wasn't until Rin realized something was wrong and kept silent that she turned to look at the others.

"Okay, what about you? Do you have anything else to ask?"

"The other thing is... Sakura's matter."

Shirou glanced at Sakura who was silent and asked about Illya.

"Sister Illya, you knew from the beginning that Sakura was also the master, right? And she's also Rider's master..."

Shirou pointed towards the living room, where Rider stood beside Sakura in silence, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.

"yes!"

Ilia nodded calmly.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Shirou looked a little angry at Illya's answer.

"Tell you? Why should I tell you? So what if you know that Sakura is the master? What do you want? Shirou, you can't protect everyone. They also have their destiny, and they also have their inevitable struggle.

."

Illya stared at Shirou with extremely sharp eyes.

"To tell you the truth, it was me who made Sakura become master."

"What?! Why? Sister Illya, tell me. Why do you want Sakura to participate in this ridiculous, mutual killing war?!!!"

If Saber hadn't held down his shoulder, Shirou would have rushed up to her, grabbed Illya's collar and asked her why.

Even afterward, he will be brutally punished by Illya.

"I said before, everyone has a destiny that they need to fight on their own strength. You actually don't know anything about Sakura, right? Then what qualifications do you have to say such a thing?"

After finishing writing, Illya waved her hand to signal the anxious Sakura to calm down.

"You know? If you care about others when you don't know anything, that kind of 'goodness' is just hypocrisy. Although I have no objection to your persistence in hypocrisy. However, I hope that you can take care of others now that you have it.

After hypocrisy is forcibly transformed into the power of truth and kindness, then you can be so impulsive again. Otherwise..."

For a moment, Shirou felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and the hellish cold invaded her whole body without reservation.

Illya poured every last bit of that frightening murderous aura into Shirou.

"If you continue like this, only death is waiting for you... and you will be pushed to the guillotine by the person you saved."

At the same time, Illya looked at Archer.

"snort!"

Archer snorted coldly, transformed into a spirit and disappeared.

"Holy, I've wanted to ask from the beginning, Shirou and Archer..."

After taking a look at the place where Archer disappeared, Saber spoke to Illya, but she stopped mid-sentence.

"That's an issue between Shirou and Archer. It's better for us not to get involved."

Illya nodded lightly, tentatively confirming Saber's suspicion.

"Another point is that from the very beginning, there was no need to continue the Holy Grail War."

"How is this going?"

Rin, who had just recovered from Archer's sudden disappearance, was stunned again when he saw the words that Illya had written again.

"Saber, at the end of the last Holy Grail War, you destroyed the Holy Grail, right?"

Illya ignored Rin and looked at Saber.

"Yes, that was the order Kiritsugu gave me with his final command spell."

Saber nodded. In the last Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail was indeed destroyed by her own hands, although it was not out of her will.

"But do you think the Holy Grail is really something that can be destroyed so easily?"

"What's the meaning?"

Rin asked again.

"It's very simple. The so-called Holy Grail is just a projection of the Great Holy Grail. You should know this, right?"

Illya handed the tea cup to Sakura.

Looking at the empty tea cup, Sakura immediately understood Illya's intention and obediently ran to pour the tea, while Rider followed closely behind her.

"In other words, in the last Holy Grail War, what Saber destroyed was just a projection. The Holy Grail did not lose much power because of this. That's why this Holy Grail War is so far ahead of schedule."

After taking the tea cup from Sakura, Illya took a sip and then continued to wave her fingers.

"That's right, now this Holy Grail doesn't need to rely on heroic spirits to kill each other to gather strength. Just find a dragon vein to perform the ceremony, and the Holy Grail can be summoned immediately. Do you understand?"

"That……"

Rin's eyes widened in surprise. What Ilia said was completely inconsistent with what she knew.

"By the way, that priest knows everything. It's just that he has been lying to people all along."
