Unable to hear what the other person was saying at all, Ilya could only offer an awkward smile.
"Xiaoxi means that riding those amusement park rides will feel very fast, and the wind will be refreshing, so you won't be afraid at all, is that right?"
Emiya Shirou, who had followed from behind, said with a smile, while handing over the drink he was holding.
"Here, have a drink. You must be thirsty after running around all morning."
"Thank you, brother!"
"Ton ton ton—"
"Wow, Shio-chan, you can't drink too fast, or you'll get diarrhea."
Before Illya and Shirou Emiya could stop her, Shio twisted open the bottle cap and gulped it down in one breath without hesitation.
"No problem, tide, you can really drink. Ten more bottles? No way."
tide, having finished her drink, gave a thumbs-up and said expressionlessly.
"I can understand it this time, but I'm not happy at all," Ilya said to Shio in a huff. "Listen carefully, you can't drink your beverage all at once like that. It will upset your stomach and is bad for your health."
Shio nodded, turned to look at Emiya Shirou, and asked in a calm voice:
"The drink was delicious. Would you like more? I'd love to have some more."
"You didn't listen to what anyone was saying at all!"
Not far from the three children, at a small barbecue stall, a short-haired woman with white hair wearing sunglasses sipped iced tea while keeping an eye on the three children's movements.
"The young lady seems to be having a lot of fun. Hmph, Shirou was quite conscientious this time, knowing to buy water and ice cream for the two girls. Well, I'll give him a 70 out of 100. But no matter how well they had fun, as a maid, I absolutely cannot slack off on my job."
One of the two ace maids of the Emiya residence, named Sera, is also dressed in superb casual clothes today, following and protecting the young lady Illya of the house.
Although the Emiya family is now a harmonious and happy family, Sera, who has been with them since the very beginning, knows the efforts and suffering endured by the master and mistress. This is what they have achieved today with countless drops of blood and sweat. Now, as a maid of the Emiya family, Sera is determined to protect this hard-won happiness, even at the cost of her own life.
Seeing the three children start moving again, Sera gracefully got up and slowly followed behind them. Then, she was pulled back by the burly owner of the barbecue stall. She had to pay for the iced tea with a face full of apologies before rushing out again.
Oh no, oh no! The young lady and the others have disappeared!!
The maid, nearly driven mad, began frantically searching for the three of them in the amusement park.
Meanwhile, standing beneath a particularly unusual amusement ride, Ilya, trembling, said to Shio beside her with a tearful voice, "Shio, really, really do we have to ride this? Or should we try something else?"
"No."
tide calmly shook her head, then looked at the rapidly spinning and swinging ring high in the sky, and the screaming people on the ring, her eyes burning with rage.
"Let's play this!"
Ilya: ~~o(>_<)o ~~
A moment later, beside Illya, who looked pale and could barely walk, and Shirou Emiya, whose face was also pale and whose legs were trembling despite supporting Illya, Shio, with a calm expression, turned around and said to the two:
"Auntie, they're following us."
"Ah, so many stars, so many! Ilya, are you already in the sky? Hehehe, fly, fly—"
"Cheer up, Ilya! Wait, Shio, what did you just say? Does that mean someone is following us?"
Emiya Shirou's physical condition was better after all, and he recovered quickly. Then he immediately noticed what Yakumo Shio said and became alert.
"Ah."
tide nodded.
"There were many people, very tall, so when I went up there, I saw them. They wore sunglasses and had white hair."
In other words, because there were many people around, and her short stature obstructed her view, she switched to the aerial carousel attraction. Taking advantage of her height, she located the person who was following them and noted their physical characteristics: white hair and sunglasses.
Wait a minute, Shirou Emiya suddenly looked up with a look of horror.
On that high-speed, spinning disc that was making us dizzy, were you actually carefully observing the crowd below? Are you even human? Were you a retired pilot from some fighter jet? The kind of pilot who sits on a roller coaster, looks around for good food, and then calls to reserve seats?
In his excitement, Shirou Emiya unwittingly took on the role of the sarcastic commentator.
"Grab him? Let him go?"
Should we grab the other person or get out of here as soon as possible? What should we do?
Tilting her head, Shio asked Emiya Shirou.
What should I do now...?
Emiya Shirou pondered for a moment, and then a surge of passion welled up inside him.
Kiritsugu and his comrades have fought against so much evil, captured and killed so many criminals. I've admired them and trained diligently for so long. Now, is it finally my time to show my skills? Can I finally be a true partner of justice?
Emiya Shirou, who was essentially still a big kid, nodded seriously and said with a confident expression:
"tide, let's go catch the bad guys!"
tide: "?"
Meanwhile, on the other side, after spending a restless morning writing a report, Li Cheng finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up.
No, I need to know how tide is doing. I can't feel at ease until I see her actual condition!
With a resolute look in his eyes, Li Cheng made up his mind.

Speaking of which, should I create a book club group?
Recommending a great book: "And So, I Became Someone Else's Girlfriend"
Keywords: cross-dressing, marriage.
Brief introduction: You're a big boy now.
Of course, you should learn to draw a clean eyeliner, shape your eyebrows neatly, spray some light and pleasant perfume, and apply a delicate makeup look...
And then, at this prime age, he's competing with girls for men!
This is the story of a cute boy who gets turned gay.
You all know how powerful this book is without me saying anything, so why don't you go check it out?
Section 32, Chapter 10: Tracking and Counter-tracking
A slightly immature male voice echoed in the air.
"Find the person directly, arrest the one who's following you, and hand them over to the police!"
Emiya Shirou, who was in middle school at the time, said confidently, and even rolled up his sleeves to show off his arm muscles.
Wearing sunglasses and secretly following them—this was the image of a bad guy in young Shirou Emiya's eyes. Having always admired his father and aspired to be a champion of justice, he always hoped to one day stand up against evil. To this end, he trained diligently from a young age, achieving near-B-rank strength at such a young age—a level most people could never reach in their entire lives.
Now, is it finally time for this power to be unleashed?
The boy's heart was filled with passion.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, in the office of the Sixth Group, Li Cheng was packing up and preparing to leave without hesitation.
Driven by his growing anxiety for Yakumo Shio, Li Chengchao, displaying his exceptional abilities, completed most of the data and information gathering shortly after noon. The remaining editing and sending could be handled by Emiya Kiritsugu alone. Having confirmed that his friend could accomplish this on his own, he decided to stop hesitating and head to the amusement park to find Yakumo Shio, at least to see her in person.
He hurried downstairs, jumping down the last two steps. Li Cheng quickly reached the door, slipped out, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the amusement park.
Unbeknownst to him, shortly after he left, a drone took off rapidly from the rooftop of the Sixth Division's headquarters, also speeding towards the amusement park. Meanwhile, in his office, Kiritsugu Emiya had two computers in front of him: one for compiling work reports, and the other serving as the drone's control interface and video feed.
In a sense, there is a reason why Li Cheng and Emiya Kiritsugu could become such good friends.
With a sense of urgency, Li Cheng rushed to the amusement park and began searching for tide's whereabouts.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the park.
"tide, are you sure that masked villain went in this direction?"
Emiya Shirou, full of energy, strode forward and casually asked Yakumo Shio for her location, but received no response for a long time. When he turned around, he found her standing there, stunned, as if she had seen something.
"What's wrong, tide? What are you looking at?"
Illya, who was next to Shio, noticed Shio's strange behavior first. When Shirou turned around curiously, she started shaking Shio's shoulder and asking her questions.
“…No,” after a moment of silence, tide shook her head gently, a smile slowly forming on her lips. “The direction is wrong. It’s over here.”
As she spoke, she pointed in another direction.
"Oh, is the bad guy here? Let's go then, Ilya, Xiaoxi, be sure to follow closely behind."
"Brother, your persona is almost completely changed."
The three children walked away slowly, just in time to miss Li Cheng, who had come from the direction he had been coming from.
Strange, why can't I find Xi?
After walking around the park without finding any trace of the other person, Li Cheng was somewhat frustrated, but even more so, he felt an overwhelming sense of worry. He continued walking forward, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure.
"Sera, what's she doing here?"
Sera, one of the Emiya family's two maids, had already removed her disguised sunglasses and was anxiously searching for something.
Li Cheng was one of the very few people who knew Sera's background, her origins, and her extraordinary feelings for his young mistress, Illya. Even with Shirou Emiya leading the group of children on this outing (?), he would inevitably worry and secretly follow along.
Li Cheng could understand this.
So, in her current anxious state of searching everywhere, does that mean she has lost sight of Ilya and the three children?
Li Cheng instantly realized that the situation was serious.
"Miss Sera!"
He called out, not too loudly, but loud enough for the other person to hear clearly. The other person immediately turned around and saw Li Cheng standing not far away.
The two met and talked, mainly listening to Sera recount how she lost sight of Ilya and the subsequent search. Fortunately, Li Cheng found Sera first, and she told him some news that could put his mind at ease.
"The master installed a tracking system on the young lady. If any problems occur, the composite magic array set up by the Emiya residence can provide remote support and attack. The fact that the Emiya residence hasn't moved now proves that they are still in the amusement park, but we just don't know exactly where they are."
"In that case, let's split up and search. We'll meet up in the open space in front of the haunted house!"
