Lost Narrative Poetry

Wearing a well-fitting winter children's clothing, with her long silver hair flowing smoothly behind her back, Illya looks like a cute and cute loli at this moment.

At least in terms of appearance, she is indeed very deceptive in this regard.

But standing not far behind her, the three-meter-tall muscular giant standing like a hill, with a fierce and evil aura, as if he was a body made of steel forged by thousands of hammers and forged in hundreds of battles... But he really looked real. Out of place.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Illya didn't dare to let Berserker transform into a spirit and hide it. This was completely meaningless and might be seen as having bad intentions... She didn't want to be misunderstood, so she chose He generously brought Berserker to visit him.

That's right, it's a door-to-door visit.

Just like she did not choose to attack the entire Liudong Temple directly, but acted honestly like the most normal guest, walked in through the door and rang the doorbell. This is to show your sincerity and to show that you are not coming with hostility.

After all, although she looks like a cute loli who is less than ten years old, Illya is indeed an adult with mature concepts and mind, but her appearance has not passed the shelf life... However, considering her special situation, Probably "a loli overstaying her bail" will never happen to her.

During this period of time, this big loli has been hiding in her castle in the forest outside Fuyuki City, relying on the invincible Heracles to hold her position and kill the blockades that may occasionally break through the barriers and illusions. , some guys who entered the castle site.

At the same time, she was also using her familiars to quietly release them, without alerting anyone, to survey the entire Fuyuki City, trying to figure out what the situation was.

It has to be said that being in the depths of the unopened primeval forest outside Fuyuki City, having your own land and castle, and having a character who has been born into a noble family for thousands of years, is really an advantage -

Therefore, during this period of time, Illya did not suffer any persecution and did not need to work or anything.

After all, she doesn't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she's not short of money at all. She doesn't need to think about earning "resurrection coins"... her life is naturally much better than that of most victims.

And precisely because she was able to stay out of the situation to a certain extent and look at the problem from the perspective of a bystander, she quickly detected the source of the change, and then targeted Liudong Temple based on her findings.

However, this is meaningless. At the beginning, Illya just found that the magic position of Liudong Temple was incredibly strong. After a little calculation, she even doubted that her Berserker could attack it head-on, regardless of the cost. Kill the mastermind behind the scenes...

However, more than half of the twelve lives granted by the Noble Phantasm "Twelve Trials" may be consumed by this.

It's really not worth it, especially in the current Holy Grail War where demons are raging, all kinds of cruel beings are emerging in endlessly, and there are only ten guys who can fight with the servants... Even if she and Berserker win miserably, It's basically equivalent to losing the hope of continuing to compete for the Holy Grail.

So she chose to wait and see instead of taking action rashly, which would be too irrational.

After that, she was extremely grateful for her caution, because the plot that followed was full of twists and turns, and it was too grand to describe. In short, it was a series of divine developments that left this big loli stunned and unable to react at all.

——Why did the Holy Grail arrive early?

——And shouldn’t the Holy Grail be herself?

Logically speaking, only after Illya, the Little Holy Grail, is sacrificed can the real Holy Grail be summoned... This may not be common sense, but at least Illya knows it.

And it is said that there is only the first Holy Grail, and there will be a second and third one later... So what exactly does the mastermind want to do?

You must know that the Holy Grail is the cauldron of omnipotence, the crystallization of magic that can realize wishes, and is the thing that countless people dream of. How many people are fighting like crazy, paying a heavy price but still getting what they want... but the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't care at all, and even acts like he's abandoning her?

This discovery naturally completely overturned Illya's initial thoughts. She originally thought that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually planning on the Holy Grail——

Although he acted very powerful and seemed overwhelming, he was probably bluffing. If he was really absolutely invincible, he would have ended the Holy Grail War overnight... so there must be some limit.

But later she discovered that the premise of all this was wrong. The other party didn't care about the Holy Grail and could even rub the Holy Grail at will.

And what happened tonight is a definite proof that the initiator of everything is just like a god from other celestial bodies, showing great power far beyond this planet. Perhaps for him, all this is really... It's just a casual game.

Maybe the meaning of existence is really to let Him have fun...

This conclusion made Illya extremely powerless. After thinking about it, she finally realized that it was impossible for her to fight head-on. It seemed that she could only think of other ways... But if she thought about it differently, it might be a good thing. .

For example, at least the number of Holy Grails is guaranteed, and the probability of her getting what she wants is greatly increased. She can even be more luxurious and greedy. Maybe she can resurrect her parents without sacrificing herself, and then the family can live happily. together...

It was precisely because she simply could not refuse such a vision that she decided to take the risk and appeared here.

Walking all the way up Enzo Mountain, and then entering the gate of Ryudou Temple, passing through layers of defenses and magic spells... without encountering any obstacles or dangers, this big loli was calm and felt more and more that her thoughts were Yes.

Since I can come here unimpeded, the other party must have allowed it. If such a terrifying existence really didn't want to come into contact with me, then I probably wouldn't be able to discover this place at all.

She tried her best to raise her toes and reached out to ring the doorbell. The big loli couldn't help but feel uneasy, but soon she heard light footsteps coming from inside.

It seems to be a female?

The big Loli heard the characteristics of the footsteps very accurately. After all, there are indeed obvious differences between the footsteps of men and women. As long as you are careful, you can easily distinguish them.

The next moment, the door in front of her was gently opened from the inside.

Illya immediately suppressed all her thoughts and showed a cute, sweet and flattering smile, and then... the expression on her face completely froze.

"mom, Mom, Mom?!"

Muttering to herself in disbelief, Illya stared blankly at the person who appeared behind the door. She was a girl as delicate as a doll, with a face that was too beautiful and neat, and a pair of ruby-like eyes. Her magnificent pupils and her long silver hair shining like snow.

Although she was wearing a traditional black and white maid outfit, with a white apron decorated with ruffles and a white-collared plain dress, she looked simple and unpretentious, not even revealing her absolute realm, but this still could not conceal her stunning appearance. .

Especially for Illya, in just a moment, the appearance of the person in front of her completely overlapped with the voice and smile of the person in her memory, and they were indistinguishable from each other!

A full ten years of longing, coupled with grievances, bitterness, joy...etc., many complex emotions burst out in an instant, extremely hot like a volcano erupting, surging out, and the silver-haired big Lolita directly I felt my vision blurred.

Even if you know it's impossible, even if you know it's untrue.

However, how can people be absolutely rational? In that case, the world would probably be a lot better and there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings.

Ever since——

After Charlotte opened the door, she looked straight ahead and saw nothing. Then she lowered her head again and found the little Lolita standing outside the door. She tilted her head slightly, and her delicate face showed just the right amount of confusion. Color:

"Excuse me, are you..."

"Mother!"

Crystal tears fell uncontrollably. Her petite body spread out her hands and jumped forward to tightly hug the doll girl in front of her.

"Eh?" Charlotte was stunned for a moment, lowering her head and looking at the silver-haired Loli who stretched out a pair of small hands and hugged her waist tightly.

mom, Mom, Mom? what is going on?

The head maid looked at this cute lolita who was extremely greedy and attached to her, and wanted to reach out and push her away, but hesitated for a moment and did not do so. She could keenly feel the girl's agitated mood. This is a time when the spirit is extremely fragile.

And Charlotte herself felt a little bit subtle. Although she didn't really feel like she had become a mother and had a child when this girl called her mom...but it was still a bit of a shock.

By the way, how does it feel to be a mother?

Charlotte, who had never considered such a thing before, felt a strange feeling quietly growing in her heart at this moment.

…

…

"...The world is really wonderful."

In the living room, the magician looked away, and after a moment of silence, he said with a somewhat dazed expression.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Rin Tosaka asked strangely, and Artoria, who was sitting next to Xia Ran, also raised her eyes slightly curiously.

Is this something special happening?

"It was because of her daughter Illya that Irisviel gained real life. She was no longer a blank human form, but truly had her own emotions and her true self..."

The magician raised a finger and explained seriously.

"And now, Charlotte seems to have gotten the same opportunity because of Illya. Considering the similarities between them, don't you think the world is amazing?"

He has been working hard to make the maid completely own herself, have life, and have emotions... But although there has been considerable progress over the years, Charlotte's emotions have always been hazy, and she still has not been able to clarify them. cognitive self.

Those hazy emotions are more instinctive than the seven emotions of wisdom and spirituality, so Xia Ran has always been troubled.

Until now, he suddenly discovered that his little impromptu arrangement seemed to have finally become the most crucial seed. This was purely an unexpected surprise... However, this coincidence really made people a little concerned. There seemed to be something vaguely there. It smells like fate.

"...It seems that it really is..." Arturia was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh, seeming to think of that gentle woman again.

"No, no, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all..." The black-haired girl with twin tails twitched her eyes. She didn't know Irisviel at all, nor did she know what Illya was. How can people understand this?

"This matter is a long story, starting from 120 million years ago..."

"So are they dinosaurs?" Tohsaka Rin replied angrily, interrupting the magician's casual explanation.

"Wait, Master, is the person outside Ilia? Irisviel's daughter?" At this time, Arturia raised her eyebrows slightly and grasped the key. She had not paid attention to the outside just now, but now she discovered who the visitor was. , and suddenly became a little concerned.

After all, she is Irisviel's daughter...

She suddenly felt that she was a little careless. After she came to this world and the Master made a declaration to create a world where everyone would be hurt, she decisively stayed out of the matter and never paid attention to the Holy Grail War.

After all, out of sight is out of sight, so I feel much more comfortable this way.

But she also didn't pay attention and didn't realize that Irisviel's daughter was actually involved... After all, she subconsciously felt that even if Einsbern participated in the war again, she would send out new androids or something.

Because it was known that Eincibelen, one of the three royal families, was responsible for making the Holy Grail instrument, the androids dispatched must not only be Masters participating in the war, but also must have the identity of the Lesser Holy Grail.

The design of the Little Holy Grail must begin before the preparation and production stage of the android, so Artoria naturally felt that Irisviel's daughter would not be chosen. After all, Illya was already eight years old ten years ago. .

——Who knew that the Eincibelen family had actually designed both mother and daughter to be Little Holy Grails from the very beginning.

If the mother sacrifices without success, sacrifice her daughter again! In short, all resources must be fully utilized and cannot be wasted.

"Yes, but to say she is a daughter is too arbitrary..." the magician replied calmly, "Strictly speaking, in terms of blood genetic relationship, Illya can only be regarded as Irisviel's sister. , not the daughter of the latter and Emiya Kiritsugu..."

As an artificial human, this was designed from the beginning.

Although it is strange to say this, there is indeed no need for Emiya Kiritsugu to exist during this process.

"Who told you this..." The girl rolled her eyes at him, then stood up and walked straight out of the door, "I'm going to see Illya."

Artoria has always retained her memories from the Fourth War to the present, and naturally she has feelings for Irisviel. She mainly didn't know about it before, but now that she knows, it is of course impossible to ignore the daughter of her old friend.

If you can take care of it, you should take care of it.

"Illya...is that little girl back then?" Tohsaka Rin thought about it again and again, and finally remembered the little girl not long ago, "Wait, it sounds like you have known her before? Wasn't that ten years ago? What happened before?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xia Ran nodded.

"No, I mean, the way she looks now, I'm afraid she's not even ten years old yet..." Tohsaka Rin was a little speechless and made a few chaotic gestures, feeling that she couldn't organize her words, "I It means...that's it, how did you..."

"She was eight years old ten years ago, and she looked like that ten years ago..." Xia Ran replied calmly, knowing why she was shocked.

"Is this, like this?"

The girl with black hair and twin tails showed a subtle expression: "So, you know her parents?"

"Yes, her parents were both participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago. We have a very good relationship and I respect them very much." The magician thought about it seriously, then nodded with deep approval. .

"..."

"..."

No, I can’t ask any more questions, let’s just stop it!

Tohsaka Rin always felt that this scene seemed familiar, just like she had just asked the teacher of the other party, and her subconscious told her that she could not continue to ask.

But she still couldn't help her curiosity: "Gu, what are the details? Can you tell me?"

"Oh, actually it's nothing. It's just that Irisviel was kidnapped by me shortly after the Holy Grail War started, and Artoria was their servant at the beginning. It's just that I threatened Irisviel to make her The one who signed a contract with me..."

The magician thought about it carefully and added -

"Speaking of which, Emiya Kiritsugu's death seems to have something to do with me..."
