After going through countless hardships, the magician killer finally let go of everything after reuniting with his daughter, and decided to live a peaceful life with Illya in Fuyuki City.
In his early years on the battlefield, Kiritsugu made a lot of money. In the past, he would use most of the commission income to maintain firearms and purchase necessary new weapons.
It is no longer needed now. The Magician Killer disappeared with the end of the Holy Grail War, and the only survivor is Emiya Kiritsugu, an ordinary father.
In order not to leave a bad impression on his daughter as a lazy person, Kiritsugu slowly restored the damaged magic circuit while trying to find a new job in Fuyuki City.
With the advantage of being proficient in many foreign languages, Kiritsugu got a job as an English teacher at Hogunhara Academy in Fuyuki through the introduction of the local Yakuza leader Fujimura Raika.
Maiya, who had less than five years to live, began to show bad signs. When Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu returned to Fuyuki, Kuon Maiya's originally bright black short hair had turned into a lifeless pale color.
Although there are no clues yet in other places, after Lu Xiao's examination, Maiya's physical condition can no longer be restored to its peak. Even doing some heavy housework will make her breathless from exhaustion.
In order to allow Maiya to spend her last life peacefully, Kiritsugu forcefully ordered her to stay at home to take care of Illya, teach her social knowledge, and make up for her missed lessons.
Ilya is almost 9 years old. Children of her age should be studying in primary school.
However, Illya, who grew up in Einzbern Castle, lacked basic education. Before entering school, she must first master the elementary school knowledge of the previous few years.
Winter turns to spring, and with the end of the Holy Grail War, Fuyuki City returns to normal order, and people no longer have to worry about natural gas explosions that may occur at any time.
Considering that he only had a short half-month rest after returning to the main world, Lu Xiao decided to use the remaining few months of his stay to stay in Fuyuki City and study the third method information obtained from the Einzbern family.
When Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu returned to Fuyuki, under the supervision of Maiya, Lu Xiao's relatively lightly damaged courtyard was the first to complete the repairs, saving Lu Xiao the trouble of renting a hotel.
After Tohsaka Aoi rushed back to Fuyuki from Yatsudai City, she immediately presided over Tokiomi's funeral with Rin's assistance.
Now that the hostess has returned, it is natural that Lu Xiao, an outsider, can no longer live in the Tosaka Residence.
After the funeral, after Rin's many coquettish persuasion, Aoi, who lacked independent opinions, finally agreed to allow Sakura and Kariya to temporarily stay at the Tohsaka residence.
Kariya's nominal identity is Sakura's servant, but he is actually Sakura's guardian, which Aoi also knows very well.
Sakura is the only one left in the Matou family. Even with the help of the magic seal, it is difficult for her to fully master the Matou family's "absorption" magic by herself. Kariya, who has studied theoretical knowledge, is just the right person to lead the way.
As for Kariya's nominally adopted daughter Asagami Fujino, after some consideration, Tohsaka Aoi finally agreed to let her live in the Tosaka mansion.
Anyway, I don’t have to worry about having too many debts, and it can be more lively with more people, so I don’t have to think wildly in an empty mansion.
After leaving the Asakami family, Fujino changed back to her original surname of Asakami. This did not mean that she intended to inherit the Asakami family's legacy, but just to commemorate her deceased biological parents.
In March, Fujino graduated from the elementary school of Reion Women's College.
Under Alethea's control, Fujino moved from Kanfuko City to Fuyuki City and was successfully admitted to Miyama Town Middle School.
Lu Xiao, who was busy studying information, had no time to pay attention to the various chores in the outside world. Lin often came to find trouble for various reasons, but every time she was annoyed by Lu Xiao's casual and cold attitude.
By the way, after Rin Tosaka succeeded as the head of the Tosaka family, people often came to visit the Tosaka residence.
In order to handle family affairs nearby, Tohsaka Aoi went through the school transfer procedures for Rin, and transferred from Yashirodai Elementary School back to Fuyuki Elementary School.
"Are you so busy studying in elementary school?"
Through the surveillance magic of the workshop, he saw Rin standing outside the gate with her arms akimbo. Sakura, who was carrying a schoolbag, followed obediently behind her sister. Lu Xiao helplessly put down the photocopied book in her hand.
"The barrier has been lifted, come in."
"snort!"
Rin, who had just entered the second grade of elementary school, proudly walked into the courtyard gate with her head held high, and took Sakura, who had just entered school, with familiarity to enter the magic workshop located underground in the warehouse.
"Are you trying to grow mushrooms by staying at home? It's time to go out and do some activities."
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes: "Is this what a child of a magician family should say? I am working hard to study the great third method."
"No matter what you study, the principles are the same."
Lin retorted confidently: "My father once said that study must combine work and rest. Blindly studying will only make you get into trouble, but will affect the efficiency of learning."
"This weekend we are going to Guanbuzi City with Illya for a physical examination, and you are coming too, don't refuse!"
Seeing Lin's firm eyes, Lu Xiao knew that it would be difficult for him to make a decision.
"Hey~ Okay, I'll go for a run with you, Illya... I hope everything goes well."
Illya's mother is an artificial person, but her father is a natural person.
Her birth was also a miracle for the Einzbern family. She was born with a magic circuit far beyond that of ordinary magicians, and the total amount of magic power was also quite large.
However, as a descendant of a hybrid between artificial and natural humans, Illya's physical condition is not stable, which can be seen from the abnormal growth of her appearance at the age of eight and three.
As a result of being transformed by the Einzbern family's magic during her fetal period, Illya's body structure is very special. She was originally born as Fuyuki's Little Holy Grail. She is innately connected to Fuyuki's earth veins and can be directly extracted from the earth veins.
magic.
But as a price, there are many parts of Illya's body that are not like human beings. If she continues to grow like this, her body will have problems sooner or later.
Fuyuki's Holy Grail has ended its mission. Tohsaka and Matou among the Gosan family both hope to disintegrate Fuyuki's Holy Grail before the next Holy Grail War. Illya, who was born as the Little Holy Grail, no longer needs to maintain this abnormal state.
.
Going back to find Einzbern for transformation is not a good idea. Who knows if they will do any tricks in Illya's body.
Lu Xiao is still a dabbler who has just started to learn the third method, and will not be able to put the newly acquired knowledge into practice in a short period of time. Therefore, there is only one person left who is most suitable for adjusting Illya's body.
…
Guanbuzi City, Jialanzhitang Workshop.
Orange took off her glasses and looked very serious. This was her first opportunity to come into contact with Einzbern's artificial man.
"Einzbern's androids are mainly made using the principles of alchemy. There are some differences from my puppet technology, but it is not difficult to just adjust Illya's body."
"The problem is her soul."
Orange showed a disgusted expression on his face and complained: "There are many traces of artificial transformation in Illya's soul, and there are also some strange settings that I can't understand."
"How dare Einzbern actually use human souls for magic transformation experiments. He is exactly the same as that guy Araya. They are both lunatics who are carried away by obsession."
As parties who had participated in the Holy Grail War, Fuyuki's visitors, including Kiritsugu and Rin, all knew what Orange's soul transformation was about. It was a specially customized transformation made by Einzbern in order to fit the Little Holy Grail.
Kiritsugu pursed his lips tightly and looked at Illya, who was sleeping on the workbench, with a heavy look in his eyes.
He thought that his suffering would be over when he regained Illya, but he didn't expect that there would be bigger problems to solve later.
"Miss Orange."
Kiritsugu bowed his head deeply and begged Cheng Zi: "No matter what the price, please do your best to cure Illya, I can't lose her!"
"Uh~ You don't have to do this."
Chengzi scratched his hair with a headache: "I will do my best, but the soul level is really not the focus of my research."
"You'd better be mentally prepared. If you can't find a solution before Ilia comes of age..."
"Huh~"
Chengzi exhaled a puff of smoke in a depressed mood, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Perhaps, we can only hope that the five greatest magics in the world can save her soul."
