In the Einzbern Castle far away from Fuyuki City, Irisviel was taking care of the unconscious Lin Hao.
A few hours ago, there was a violent fluctuation of magic power in the direction of Fuyuki City. There should be a fight between the servants, and Kiritsugu must be at the scene.
Since the two sabers are the same person, they can communicate over long distances through [talking], but they seem to dislike each other, so although Irisviel is worried, she cannot force 1i1y to be with a1ter at all times.
Keep in touch.
But when she sensed that Saber·A1ter had entered combat mode shortly after the battle started, she couldn't help but become worried, and her mood fluctuated even to Xiao Hao, who was helping her perfect the magic barrier.
Although she was willing to believe in Kiritsugu's skill and ability to assess the situation, the battle was not something that would go as planned if she made a plan. She asked saber·1i1y to sense the status of saber·a1ter at any time, and use the command spell to control it if there was any sign of failure.
She moved over, not caring even if it exposed her possession of two Sabers.
After the girl knight told her that the black saber had encountered the servant and had repelled it, Irisviel was slightly relieved, but unexpectedly, Lin Hao, who had been fighting hard to accompany her, suddenly used a command spell and fainted on the spot.
.
"In the name of the Command Seal, caster, immediately appear next to Emiya Kiritsugu to protect him!" This is what she said.
After a moment of shock, news came from Saber A1ter. Just when she was chasing a certain servant who should be Berserker, Kiritsugu was ambushed at the planned evacuation point, but judging from the scene, he might have been saved by Caster.
Although Saber A1ter, who has no ability to act alone, is still alive and proves that Kiritsugu is fine, Irisviel is still frightened. Although it is not clear how Lin Hao learned about Kiritsugu's condition, she would actually despise him for it before.
Those who can't help but use Command Seals without hesitation...
What a good boy, Irisviel thought this for the first time while touching Lin Hao's sleeping face.
She seems to have no regard for who the other person is. As long as she sees and can do it, she will immediately save people regardless of the losses she will suffer. Just like what she did at Fuyuki General Hospital, she was obviously here to participate in the Holy Grail War, but...
She's using Caster's magic to treat patients who have nothing to do with her.
Irisviel was very curious about what kind of person her servant would be, so she waited in the room where Lin Hao was resting, with Saber·1i1y also accompanying her.
171:54:24
At midnight, the snow-white Einzbern Castle seemed particularly quiet amidst the faint chirping of insects. Although Irisviel was a product of alchemy, she could not give up sleep like a heroic spirit. She had kept her chin up and observed Lin Hao.
She had been in this posture for a while, and her long eyelashes were slowly drooping, making saber·1i1y couldn't help but wonder if she would fall asleep on the bed in the next moment.
"Irisviel, a servant is approaching." The pure white girl knight suddenly turned towards the forest outside the window.
Unless he possesses concealment magic or aura blocking skills, the serpent may be discovered by others even when he moves as a spirit, not to mention that the other party does not seem to have any intention of hiding it.
Saber sensed that the heroic spirit moving quickly towards Einzbern Castle had some kind of connection with the unconscious girl from country C. Perhaps it was the caster she had been unwilling to summon?
"Well, the warning barrier didn't react at all. If it hadn't been released deliberately, it probably wouldn't have been discovered at all. As expected of Caster," Irisviel closed her eyes slightly for a moment, then frowned: "However, she
how……"
"The other party is coming towards us." Saber sensed the visitor's position and clasped her hands in preparation for drawing the sword: "The magic aura is... huge, should we prepare?"
"No, it's not necessary." Irisviel's eyes became a little strange, as if she couldn't figure out something.
call--
A whirlwind blew up in the room without warning, and countless silvery-white light spots gradually gathered and condensed with the whirlwind, and finally formed the figure of a girl in front of Irisviel and Saber.
Arturia compared Irisviel and the heroic spirit that appeared with a little curiosity. They were really similar.
She has long silver hair, agate-like eyes, a gorgeous purple fur dress and pure white flat boots. If she hadn't looked obviously younger than the Master next to her, Saber felt that she might have accidentally recognized the wrong person, relying solely on appearance.
To judge.
But Irisviel didn't show anything special, she just looked at the other person up and down as if to confirm something.
"Hello, I'm -" the young heroic spirit who appeared spoke.
"Illya, what are you doing here?" and was directly interrupted by Irisviel.
"...Ilia?" Caster, who looked like a girl, paused: "Oh, she is your daughter, maybe. Although she looks very similar, I am not her. I am -"
"Oh? Really?" Saber found that Irisviel showed a dangerous expression that she had never seen before. If she insisted on saying it, it was similar to the expression shown by her sworn brother Kai after Merlin caused another big trouble: "Then
Who do you want to say you are?"
"Who do you want to say?" instead of "Who are you?" There is only a slight change in these two sentences, but the meaning is completely different.
"..." Caster was also a little speechless by such a question. He paused for a moment before continuing: "My name is Rizlech Justisa von Ein..."
"Is this how you deceived Kiritsugu?" Irisviel interrupted again before she could finish her words: "Pretend to be the Saint of Winter?"
"What pretense..." Caster's eyes began to turn around, but he didn't look at Irisviel.
"I taught you not to lie, right, Illya?" Irisviel's tone became stern.
Caster was completely silent. She turned to stare at the unconscious Lin Hao without saying a word.
"Eh? Is the name she reported false?" Although she was a little confused at first, now saber·1i1y seemed to have some clues.
"Illya has this expression when she gets into some trouble and wants to lie to cover it up - looking left and right without looking at others or staring straight at a certain point." Illya said in a tone of voice as if she had confirmed something.
It brings confidence.
"Although I haven't seen it before, wouldn't it be true that Ling Qianjin has returned to Germany?" Saber observed Caster's girlish posture, and then compared it with Kiritsugu and Irisviel's little daughter in the photos she had seen occasionally.
: "And the appearance doesn't match either."
"Yes, Illya has been waiting for you to come back in the castle in the mountains. How could she turn into a heroic spirit and appear here." Caster spoke again as if he had received support.
Trying to hide it... Artoria suddenly wanted to laugh. Although she was still practicing, her knowledge had grown a lot under Merlin's poisonous tongue. In her opinion, this caster's response to Irisviel's doubts was simply tantamount to committing suicide.
Inherit identity.
I have been waiting for you to come back. This kind of description with strong personal feelings and direction is completely impossible to be uttered by an outsider, and the information revealed in it is also slightly ominous.
"So, Kiritsugu and I failed and never went back, right?" Irisviel's voice dropped, and Saber even saw a faint glimmer of water in her eyes.
"No...ah, no, that's just my guess, I mean-" Caster became incoherent, completely unlike the confident person she was at the beginning.
"I'm sorry, I didn't grow up with you." Irisviel ignored Caster's answer and continued: "You must hate us, right?"
"Of course not... I'm not! I didn't!" Ilia, who is basically certain to be the future version, is still trying to struggle.
"Miss Illya, please don't be willful." Although the scene was a bit chaotic, Saber·1i1y quickly clarified the facts with the help of [Intuition] and said to stop: "Madam is already very sad."
"Ha-" caster, no, Ilyasviel von Einzbern sighed helplessly, walked to Irisviel and sat down: "Okay, how did you recognize me?
Yes, generally speaking, the Holy Grail will not summon heroic spirits from the future unless they want to come back. You probably don’t know this.”
Irisviel didn't answer, but just raised her hand to rub the girl's head.
Illya was still waiting for her to speak, but she found that Irisviel was rubbing her endlessly, shaking her head and trying to break away, but the next moment she was directly pulled into her arms.
"Haha, how can a mother not recognize her daughter?" Irisviel rubbed Illya's face: "Great, I was worried about whether you would grow up."
"Let me go -" "No~"
Saber was not sure before, but after they sat together, they immediately no longer doubted it. Even if the appearance can be adjusted with magic, it is completely the aura of a family and the small tricks of knowing how to deal with each other cannot be faked.
"Tell me...Mom." Illya, who failed to escape from the clutches of the devil in the end, asked with a blush on her cheeks.
"Of course I recognize you because," Irisviel nodded her forehead: "Everyone, including the Saint of Winter, is here. The only one outside is Illya."
"Is it Misaka Network... I am the last one? No, it should be an extra individual." The girl with silver-red eyes looked shocked and muttered words with unknown meaning that might come from the future: "I thought the identity I thought was perfect.
."
"Being able to become a heroic spirit proves that Illya has also created a legend, doesn't it?" Irisviel continued to rub her future daughter's head: "There is no need to pretend to be someone else's."
"Hmph, wouldn't Kiritsugu be very proud of that?"
"Sure enough, you still have objections to us, right?"
"Only for himself!"
"...Illya," Saber tried to interject: "What is your wish?"
Since the mother and daughter are happy to be reunited, they won't ask how she became a Heroic Spirit, but the current situation still needs to be confirmed.
"Call me Caster. Kiritsugu will probably be angry if he knows I'm lying to him." Caster smiled at Artoria: "Well, if I wish, I would help Kiritsugu win the Holy Grail War without any
The master is dead."
"Huh?" This sentence seemed quite normal, but Saber·1i1y keenly discovered the key point: "Do you mean to preserve the magician's power as much as possible?"
"Yes, a very terrible disaster occurred in the future, and an invincible enemy appeared, which eventually destroyed the entire world. With the help of Alaya Consciousness, I returned to all the occasions in history where magicians sacrificed meaninglessly and merged
Trying to save those people, this is my first stop." Caster explained.
"Illya, although we are not involved in space-time magic, is it really okay for you to say it like this?" Irisviel asked with some worry: "It won't cause any... um, 'butterfly effect' or 'paradox'"
Argument'?"
"Coming as a heroic spirit actually took advantage of a loophole. If my actions in this war are useless, I have to go back to the more distant past. If that doesn't work, I can only hope that the me who is now in the German castle will do it again in a different way.
Here you go." After being recognized by his real name, Caster seemed to be a lot more lively: "As long as you don't meet her face to face, it's basically not a big problem."
In this way, the desire of both father and daughter is to "save the world", so there is a basis for cooperation - no, it should be said that cooperation has already been achieved.
"I will assist you as much as possible." Arturia said seriously.
