My name is Elijah,

I dropped a vest.

Inside the castle of Einzbelen, far away from Winterwood City, Alice Phil is taking care of the unconscious Lin Hao.

A few hours ago, there was a violent mana fluctuation in the direction of Fuyuki City, it should have been a battle between the Servants, and Kiritsugu must have been on the scene.

Since the two Sabers are the same person, they can communicate over a long distance through [Nianhua], but the two of them don't seem to like each other, so although Alice Phil is worried, she can't force Lily to keep in touch with Alter at all times.

However, sensing that the battle took place not long after, Saber · When Alter entered the battle mode, she still couldn't help but worry, and her mood fluctuated and even Xiao Hao, who was helping her perfect the magic enchantment, found out.

Although she wants to trust Kiritsugu's skills and ability to judge the situation, the fight is not something that will go according to the plan, and she asks Saber · Lily senses Saber· Alter's state, as soon as there is a sign of failure, he uses a spell to transfer her over, even if it is revealed that he has two Sabers.

After the girl knight told her that Black Saber had encountered the Servant and had been repulsed, Alice Phil breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Lin Hao, who had been beating her all the time, suddenly used a spell and passed out on the spot.

"In the name of the Spell, Caster, immediately appear by Emiya Kiritsugu's side to protect him!" That's what she said.

After a moment of astonishment, Saberalter received news that while she was chasing down a servant who was supposed to be a berserker, Kiritsugu had been ambushed at the intended evacuation point, but it was possible that Caster had rescued her.

Although Saber · Alter proved that Kiritsugu was okay while he was still alive, but Alice Fell was still afraid, although it was not clear how Hayashi Hao knew about Kiritsugu's condition, but she would not hesitate to use the Spell for the sake of someone who was still disgusted before......

What a good boy, Alice Phil touched Lin Hao's sleeping face, I don't know how many times she thought so.

She doesn't seem to think about who the other person is, as long as she sees it and can do it, she will immediately come to the rescue regardless of what she will lose, just like she did at Fuyuki General Hospital, obviously to participate in the Holy Grail War, but she is borrowing Caster's magic to treat patients who have nothing to do with her.

Alice Phil was curious about what kind of person her Servant would be, so she waited in the room where Lin was resting. Lily was also on her side.

171：54：24

At midnight, the snow-white castle of Einzbelen was exceptionally quiet in the faint sound of insects, although Alice Fell was a product of alchemy, but she could not give up sleep like a heroic spirit, she had been in a posture of holding her cheeks to observe Lin Hao for a while, her long eyelashes were slowly lowering, so that Saber· Lily couldn't help but wonder if she would fall asleep on her stomach in the next moment.

"Alice Phil, there's a Servant approaching." The pure white maiden knight suddenly turned in the direction of the forest outside the window.

Unless he has a concealment magic or breath blocking skill, Servent may be discovered by others even when he uses spirit movement, not to mention that the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of concealing it.

Saber senses that the Heroic Spirit who is moving rapidly towards the castle of Einzbelen has some kind of connection with the girl from Country C who is unconscious, perhaps it is Caster who she has been reluctant to summon?

"Well, the vigilance enchantment didn't react at all, if it wasn't for the deliberate release of the breath, probably wouldn't have been discovered at all, worthy of Caster," Alice Fell closed her eyes slightly for a moment, and then frowned: "However, how can she ......"

"The other party is coming towards us." Sensing the visitor's position, Saber clasped his hands together in preparation for drawing his sword: "The magic breath is very ...... Huge, are we ready? ”

"No, not necessarily." Alice Phil's eyes became a little strange, as if something couldn't be figured out.

Whew-

Without warning, a whirlwind blew in the room, and countless silver-white points of light gradually converged and condensed with the whirlwind, and finally formed a girl's figure in front of Alice Phil and Saber.

Artoria was a little curious as she compared Alice Fell to the Heroic Spirits who appeared, they were a little too similar.

With her long silver-white hair, onyx-like eyes, gorgeous purple fur dress, and plain white flat boots, Saber thought she might have accidentally mistaken someone, judging only by her appearance.

But Alice Phil didn't show anything special, just looked at each other up and down to confirm something.

"Hello, I'm—" the young girl Heroic Spirit spoke.

"Illya, what are you doing here?" Then he was directly interrupted by Alice Phil.

“…… Illya? Caster, who looked like a girl, paused: "Oh, it's your daughter, it's very similar, but I'm not her, I'm—"

"Oh? Is it? Saber noticed that Alice Fell showed a dangerous expression that he had never seen before, and what he insisted on saying was similar to the expression of his brother Kai after Merlin made a big fuss again: "Then who do you want to say yourself?" ”

"Then who do you want to say" instead of "then who are you" are only minor changes, and the meaning is completely different.

"......" Caster was also a little stunned by this question, and paused before continuing: "My name is Richlech Ustisa von Ein......"

"That's how you lied to Kiritsu?" Again, Alice Fell interrupted without waiting for her to finish, "Pretending to be the Winter Maiden? ”

"What pretending to ......" Caster's eyes began to roll around, just not looking at Alice Field.

"I taught you not to lie, Illya?" Alice Phil's tone became stern.

Caster was completely silent, she turned her head to stare at Lin Hao in a coma, and didn't say a word.

"Huh? Could it be that the name she reported was fake? "Although it was a little confusing at first, now Saber· Lily seemed to see a clue.

"This is the expression on Illya's face when she wants to lie and cover it up - looking left and right, not looking at others, or staring straight at a certain point." Alice Phil spoke with confidence in her tone as if she had confirmed something.

"Although I haven't seen it, if Ling Qianjin says, shouldn't she have returned to Germany?" Saber observed Caster's girlish posture and compared it to the youngest daughter of Kiritsugu and Alice Fell in the occasional photograph: "And it doesn't match the appearance." ”

"Yes, Illya, she has been waiting for you to come back in the castle deep in the mountains, how can she become a heroic spirit and appear here." Caster spoke again as if he had been supported.

Make matters worse by attempting a coverup...... Artoria suddenly wanted to laugh, although she was still practicing, her knowledge had grown a lot under Merlin's poisonous tongue, and in her opinion, this Caster's response to Alice Fair's doubts was simply equivalent to admitting her identity.

Waiting for you to return, this kind of strong personal and directional description is completely impossible for outsiders to say, and the information revealed in it is slightly unpleasant.

"So, Kiritsugu and I failed and never went back, did we?" Alice Phil's voice fell, and Saber could even see a faint glint in her eyes.

"No...... Ah, no, that's just my guess, I mean-" Caster became incoherent, not at all like she had been when she had been so confident.

"I'm sorry I didn't grow up with you." Alice Fell ignored Caster's answer and continued, "You must hate us, don't you? ”

"Of course not...... I'm not! I didn't! "It's almost certain that it's a future version of Illya who is still struggling.

"Miss Elijah, please don't be willful." Although the scene was a bit chaotic, Saber · With the help of [intuition], Lily quickly clarified the facts and spoke to stop her: "Madame is already sad. ”

"Hah-" Caster, no, Eliasfil von Einzberen sighed helplessly, and walked over to Alice Fell and sat down, "Well, how did you recognize me, generally the Holy Grail doesn't summon Heroic Spirits from the future, unless they want to come back themselves, you shouldn't know that." ”

Alice Phil didn't answer, just raised her hand to rub the girl's head.

Illya was still waiting for her to speak, but it turned out that Alice Fell was rubbing it and was shaking her head to break free, but the next moment she was directly hugged into her arms.

"Hehe, how can there be a mother who can't recognize her daughter?" Alice Phil rubbed Illya's face: "Great, I'm still worried that you won't grow up." ”

"Let go of me-" "Don't~"

Saber wasn't sure before, but as soon as they sat down together, they no longer had any suspicions, even though their appearance could be adjusted by magic, but it was completely a family's aura and the small gesture of knowing each other's responses that couldn't be disguised.

"Say it...... Mom. Illya, who had not been able to escape the clutches in the end, asked with a red cheek.

"I'll recognize you because, of course," Alice Fell nodded her forehead, "Everyone is here, including the Winter Maiden, and only Illya is outside." ”

"Misaka network...... Am I the last work? No, it should be an extraordinary. The silver-haired and red-eyed girl looked like she had been struck and muttered words of unknown meaning that might come from the future: "I thought the identity I wanted was seamless." ”

"To be able to become a Heroic Spirit proves that Illya also created a legend, doesn't it?" Alice Fell continued to rub her future daughter's head: "No need to pretend to be someone else. ”

"Hmph, wouldn't that be very proud?"

"Sure enough, you still have an opinion about us, right?"

"Just for himself!"

“…… Eliya," Saber tried to interject, "what is your desire?" ”

Since the mother and daughter are happy to be reunited, they don't ask how she became a heroic spirit, but the current situation still needs to be confirmed.

"Call me Caster, Kiritsugu would probably be angry if he knew I was lying to him," Caster smiled at Artoria, "Well, if you wish, it's to help Kiritsugu win this Holy Grail War, and no Lord will die." ”

"Huh?" This seems to be a normal sentence, Saber· Lily keenly spotted the key point: "Do you mean to preserve the magician's power as much as possible?" ”

"Yes, there is a very terrible catastrophe in the future, there is an invincible enemy, and finally the whole world is destroyed, I return to all the occasions in history where magicians have sacrificed meaninglessly and try to save those people with the help of Alayya, and this is my first stop." Caster explained.

"Illya, although we don't dabble in space-time magic, is it really okay for you to say that?" Alice Phil asked with some concern, "Won't cause anything...... Hmm, the 'butterfly effect' or 'paradox'? ”

"The advent of the Heroic Spirit is actually a loophole, and if my actions in this war are useless, I will have to go back to the distant past, and if I can't do it, I can only hope that the one who is now in the German castle will do it again." After being recognized by her real name, Caster seemed to be a lot more lively: "As long as you don't see her face-to-face, it's basically not a big problem." ”

In this way, the father and daughter's desire is also to "save the world", so there is a basis for cooperation - no, it should be said that cooperation has already been achieved.

"I'll help you as much as I can." Artoria said seriously.
