"Shenji's side is investigating the situation of the Great Holy Grail, and Illya's side... indeed we still need to communicate."
"We are the ones who know what happened to her. Now it is no longer realistic to try to escape. We must tell Illya all these things."
"...No matter what, I have to do this."
Emiya Shirou shook his fist seriously.
"Even if she was not Kiritsugu's daughter and was an ordinary person who had nothing to do with me, I would still make such a decision."
Annuo was in a trance.
I always felt that after I told Shirou about Kiritsugu's past experiences and encounters - Shirou had grown up a lot in a few hours.
And...it shouldn't be an illusion.
"Let's have some food first."
Annuo remembered that the soup he had made was ready.
I've been drinking a lot of soup recently - but there's nothing I can do about it, Shirou is injured now, and while ensuring the recovery of the wound, Anno made up his mind not to let Shirou eat liquid food directly.
"Oh! I'm back! Shirou, did you miss me?"
Fujimura Taiga still came over to help him, and he didn't know what it meant for her, an older leftover girl, to come to Shirou every day instead of looking for a boyfriend or running to her own home.
She also has no feelings for Shirou. One reason why she is here is that she is Shirou's guardian and is used to staying in this place. The other reason is... Shirou was left behind by Kiritsugu.
Shirou was not the only one who had a longing for Kiritsugu - although the two people's longing for Kiritsugu were completely in two directions.
"Sister Teng, please sit down first."
Shirou smiled and ran over to help Annuo.
"Oh! Today's soup smells very fresh... I always feel that Mr. Annuo is a treasure chest. No matter what kind of food he makes, it always smells incredible... and he knows how to do it really well.
It’s too much!”
Fujimura Taiga has put aside her doubts about Annuo, and her choice is to seriously taste the various delicious foods Annuo makes.
"Hehe... Shirou, you have to learn from Mr. Anno."
The meals prepared by Shirou Emiya are undoubtedly delicious, and his cooking skills are even comparable to Anno's, but the problem is that Shirou knows fewer tricks.
"I know, I have Sister Teng who is studying. Just wait for the food to be served."
Emiya Shirou seemed to have adjusted his mentality and brought the soup over with thick gloves while smiling.
Anno looked at Shirou with a worried look.
Although such a sudden change is generally a good thing, the image of Kiritsugu in Shirou's heart... No, this is not that important. The most important thing is to put this huge emotion in
If you suppress it completely in such a short period of time, something might go wrong...
Anno had seen this kind of thing happen to the Knights of the Round Table countless times.
In order to maintain their image as [Knights of the Round Table] and maintain the dignity of the king, the Knights of the Round Table...
never mind.
Annuo shook his head.
At least for now, it is inappropriate to discuss this matter with Shirou. Let's find a more suitable opportunity later and think of ways to enlighten Shirou.
Although the way I educate my son is not very good, at least I teach my grandson very well... Hmm.
That is to say, Lancelot is no longer here, otherwise Lancelot may risk being beaten to expose Annuo's old background, that is, Annuo has never educated... neither his son nor his son.
My grandson has not received much education, and the way he grows up is basically the result of the path he chooses...
...
"Hmm...where is the way in?"
Matou Shinji encountered the first problem.
He had already searched around Mount Yuanzang, but still could not find the way to the great hollow of Mount Yuanzang.
It shouldn't be...
So, now that I can no longer find a way out, there seems to be only one way left for me...
Sighing, Shenji shook his head and raised his hand.
The light of the gems flickered, and several... moles condensed around Shen Er?
"Go and search for it. If you find it, I will wait for your news."
Shinji gave orders to several moles.
The moles shrugged their noses, and after a second they burrowed into the soil, disappeared, and began to look for a path leading to the large hollow.
"Well... I hope there will be news as soon as possible. I don't have any better solution."
Shaking his head, Shenji no longer dwelled on the matter. After sneaking out of the restricted area, he took a car and drove towards the beach villa.
Of course, he has other offensive magic that can quickly destroy Yuanzang Mountain and find the big hole hidden in Yuanzang Mountain, but these are troubled times, and if he causes a lot of damage... maybe
There will be some news tomorrow [Sure enough, the Yuanzangshan Natural Gas Pipeline is dangerous] or something like that...
In short - let's go back and wait for the news. It's getting dark now, and I don't know what to eat tonight.
...
"Ilya, my dear...Ilya."
In the dream, Illya felt as if she was being hugged by someone.
"......Mother."
She raised a hand and placed it on the figure's arm. After being silent, she slowly spoke.
"I'm sorry, kid...I've made you suffer so much..."
The woman looked at Illya in her arms and seemed very sad.
"...I will not feel wronged, mother."
"I will kill Emiya Shirou...I will definitely make him regret it...!"
There was aggrieved and angry look in Illya's eyes.
"They are deceiving you, child. That white knight is just a man who tells lies. He is Emiya Kiritsugu's biggest accomplice...!"
"I thought I would have no chance to see him again, but I didn't expect that he would become Shirou Emiya's servant again this time. Illya, you are right..."
"He is really a haunted person."
Annuo couldn't see this scene, after all, this was Illya's dream.
But if Annuo could see it, he would definitely show a serious and angry expression.
There is no other reason.
This woman holding Illya in her arms - her appearance is undoubtedly that of Illya's mother, Emiya Kiritsugu's wife, Irisviel von Einzbern.
But it's just a look.
This aura of almost complete evil—how could it be Irisviel, that extremely gentle and powerful woman?
What else is this...
This is--
The incarnation of the black mud hidden in the Holy Grail.
There was a cold light shining in the eyes of the fake Irisviel.
