I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

With a mix of curiosity and timidity, Ilya moved forward cautiously, her eyes wide as she looked around.

"Just move forward a little, and you'll see."

Standing deep inside the bridge arch, Chloe chuckled as she spoke.

"Well……"

A little scared, yet genuinely curious, Ilya ventured a little deeper. The light began to dim, and the already damp surroundings gradually blurred, growing increasingly eerie. The images of the horror movie she'd accidentally seen in her brother's room a couple of days ago flashed through her mind, and Ilya's body trembled even more.

Just then, she felt her outstretched toe kick something soft, and it was warm and fluffy.

"Yeah!"

Thinking she had encountered something terrible, Ilya was so frightened that she screamed and jumped up.

"Hey, why are you yelling so fast? We were still several steps away from the trap I set."

Chloe, who had been standing deep inside the bridge arch, walked out with a puzzled look on her face.

"Wow, you admitted it! You admitted it yourself! You were definitely trying to trick me again, trying to mess with me. Xiao Hei is the worst and most annoying!"

Ilya, who was so frightened that tears were streaming down her face, froze for a moment, then immediately took several steps back and stood at the edge of the bridge arch, standing angrily with her hands on her hips and shouting.

"So, this time I didn't scare you. There wasn't a trap I set where you were just now."

Covering her head, seemingly troubled by having such a silly older sister, Xiao Hei sighed, then walked to the spot where Ilya had been frightened earlier and squatted down, starting to rummage through a pile of messy trash and junk.

Not knowing what the other person was up to, Ilya wanted to leave, but she was also genuinely curious and wanted to know if the other person had discovered something. After hesitating for a long time, Ilya still quietly moved closer and craned her neck to see what Chloe was looking for.

"Oh dear, this is really..."

Suddenly, Chloe stopped what she was doing, and with a look of great interest, turned to look at Ilya, who was not far away and seemed eager to come over.

"We've discovered something incredible this time, Ilya."

As she spoke, Chloe smiled and reached into the clutter, pinching a plain white wrist, then lifted it up.

"Call Mom right away and tell her about this. This is something an adult has to handle... Uh, Ilya, what's wrong with you?"

"...murder, body disposal...vengeful spirits, contact, possession..."

"Hey, hey, hey, she's not dead! She's still breathing! Wait, don't just pass out! Hey, don't be so fragile!"

Two hours later, inside the Emiya residence.

"Hmm, it seems the abdominal cavity has suffered a serious blow, and the injury is quite severe."

After completing the basic examination of the unconscious girl, Irisviel solemnly drew her conclusion.

"She has severe internal organ damage in her side abdomen, two broken ribs on her lower side, and considerable internal bleeding. Moreover, it looks like she's been lying there for a day and a night. If it were an ordinary person, they might already be dead. However, she is gradually improving, although very slowly. Hmph, it seems like she's a little girl with a story."

With a slightly dangerous smile, Irisviel reached out and placed her hand on the unconscious girl's chest.

With a faint white light emanating from her, she activated the magic within the girl's body, accelerating the healing process.

"..."

"...Uh...Ugh..."

Oh... Is there light coming from here?

I remember... I think I was about to retreat when a strong man struck me in the side.

Then… I think I ran away? I don’t remember where I ran to; my mind was too muddled from the injuries. But I think I found a hiding place and fell into a deep sleep to slowly heal my wounds.

So, has it recovered now?

The believer slowly opened his dark, inky pupils.

Facing her was Irisviel, who was smiling.

"Oh dear, you're awake."

Don't recognize me! An enemy!?

The believer acted instinctively and quickly, but his body's reaction speed was far slower than his brain's processing speed. He suddenly stood up and then fell directly to the ground.

It hurts so much! What's wrong? Why is my body not responding to my commands?

“You’ve only just recovered, it would be too reckless of you to start moving around like this,” Irisviel said earnestly, helping her up by grasping her arm. “Since you’re a patient, you should rest in bed properly.”

Uh, my body can't fight back anymore...

Helplessly helped back to bed, the believer stopped struggling and, with a mixture of curiosity and confusion, began to try to understand the situation.

According to the intelligence, isn't this woman the wife of Kiritsugu Emiya, the vice-leader of Squad Six? I heard she's a homunculus stolen from some hidden organization. Tsk, does that mean I've been captured and imprisoned?

No, that's not right. She didn't restrict her strength at all, and I'm really just exhausted right now. Besides, there don't seem to be any formations or monitoring devices restricting me here.

In other words, she saved him unknowingly and was unaware of his true identity?

It must be said that although he may seem somewhat naive, his insightful mind allows believers to be quite accurate in analyzing situations and judging people.

This lady seems to be the kind of person who easily trusts others. Although she has no other choice, she should temporarily conceal her identity and find an opportunity to secretly leave this place.

Lying on the bed in the guest room, the believer pondered silently, but unexpectedly, Irisviel suddenly picked up a pair of panties from beside him.

"Speaking of which, young lady, you look quite young, but your outfit is indeed quite daring."

Holding a pair of lace-trimmed, openwork panties, Irisviel wore an innocent smile.

Oh no! How could this be? How could my panties be here?!

Only then did the believer realize with horror that his clothes had been changed, inside and out.

"There was nothing we could do about it. When we found you, your clothes were already torn and wet. For your health, we had to change them. But after searching around, we found that Sera's body was the closest to yours, so we changed you into her clothes."

Is that so? But speaking of which, this dress feels a little tight around the chest area. Doesn't that woman named Sera have a pretty good figure?

"Now, let me, Alice, take a good look at your bold taste, little girl!"

No, don't do that!!

Section 105, Chapter Seven: The Cracks in the Mask

"So, that assassin is currently being taken care of at your house, Emiya, with someone providing him with three meals a day and him sleeping in bed all day?"

Li Cheng stared dumbfounded at Emiya Kiritsugu, who sat opposite him with a complicated expression, unable to find the words to say. At that moment, he was speechless.

“It was Ilya and Chloe who found her unconscious under the bridge and took her back out of kindness.”

Emiya Kiritsugu sighed deeply and rubbed his forehead.

"So all that high alert we were on for the past three days, that nerve-wracking anticipation of her arrival, that we couldn't even sleep properly, wasn't it just a standoff with the air?"

Rin Tohsaka, standing to the side, was about to explode with anger.

"Cheng, tide is hungry. She wants to eat. She wants to eat people from Shanxi!"

tide, sitting on Li Cheng's lap, was completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere. She simply reached out and grabbed Li Cheng's sleeve, shaking her head and whispering.

"Alright, alright, it's almost time for dinner, so I'll take my leave now, Emiya. Anyway, now that we've confirmed her location and condition, we don't need to worry about her suddenly assassinating us, so being one person less shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Li Cheng picked up tide, who was lazy and didn't want to walk, and turned to leave without hesitation.

"He left right after saying just one sentence. What a perverted tide-controlling senior."

Watching Li Chengyuan's departing figure, Rin Tohsaka commented quietly.

"Um, Vice-Captain," Touma Kamijou raised his hand like a well-behaved student, "wouldn't it be inappropriate if that assassin were in your house? After all, he's an assassin; wouldn't that pose a danger?"

"No, as long as her identity is true, she will absolutely not attack Alice and the others."

Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head and said, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Moreover, if it were inside the Emiya residence, if she really dared to launch an attack at will, no, to show hostility, then the only one who would be killed would be herself."

After so many years of operation, the application of various complex formations and high technology, and the special modifications made by Wuming, the Emiya residence can be considered one of the safest places in the New Tokyo Special District. Given the opponent's current weakened state, they simply don't have the ability to withstand these facilities, not to mention that Alice is not without combat capabilities.

"You just mentioned her identity, which means you already know which organization she belongs to?"

Ryougi Shiki, who had been sitting on a windowsill at the edge of the room watching outside and playing with a sharp blade in her hand, suddenly turned around and asked.

"Actually, I had my suspicions from the very beginning," Kiritsugu Emiya said calmly, leaning back in his chair. "As an assassin, her strength is far too great. To be able to defeat a team led by an A-rank and several B-ranks in a direct confrontation is not a capability that an assassin hiding in the shadows could possess."

You've done things like head-on crushing a powerful team, haven't you? And you still have the nerve to criticize others?

Knowing about Kiritsugu Emiya's terrifying exploits in his past as an assassin, Ryougi Shiki and Rin Tohsaka narrowed their eyes, offering no comment on Kiritsugu Emiya's words.

Seemingly aware that his words had elicited a subtle reaction from everyone, Kiritsugu Emiya coughed lightly and continued:

"In short, after seeing the records of her previous attacks and the last time she attacked, I began to suspect her true identity. This time, she was rescued by Irisviel, and by identifying the markings on her belongings, I can finally confirm that she should be from a mysterious assassination group known as the 'Old Man of the Mountain'."

"Isn't that something like an urban legend? It actually exists?"

Kamijou Touma was quite surprised.

“It’s true, but this organization is very mysterious and difficult for ordinary people to find,” Kiritsugu Emiya continued. “But what is certain is that this organization operates by hunting down those who ‘deny the evil of humanity.’ They will not attack ordinary people unless their target is blocked.”

"To deny the evil of humanity?"

Ryougi Shiki sat up with some interest and repeated aloud.

"Yes, that's right. 'Deniing human evil'—although I'm not entirely sure what that standard is, I'm certain that someone who becomes the target of the 'Old Man in the Mountain' organization is probably not a good person."

In other words, the Jester we are currently protecting may not be as passionate and carefree as he appears on the inside.

Kiritsugu Emiya didn't say this aloud, but everyone in the room already understood.

"So, what exactly is 'denying human evil'? Is it a code?"

A bewildered Touma Kamijou asked with a serious expression.

Okay, looks like there's still a newbie here who didn't understand.
