My two-dimensional resident

In a castle in Germany, perpetually covered in snow, two android maids knelt nervously at the feet of the Einzbern family patriarch, not daring to utter a sound.

After a long while, an old voice echoed in the hall.

"Don't tell anyone about Yinliya's disappearance. Even if someone in the Far East asks, you must keep quiet. Also... notify the servants who are taking care of Yinliya to continue serving her 'as usual.' Understand?"

"Yes...sir..."

......

In a very ordinary hotel in Fuyuki City, Maiya, with half a thin stick between her fingers, leaned against the wall and waited quietly for the man in front of her to make a phone call.

"I just miss my daughter a little. Can she talk to me?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Kiritsugu, Miss Imlia is already asleep..."

"Really... I'll contact you again later..."

"All..."

Kiritsugu Emiya hung up the satellite phone, tossed it aside, and lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. His expression had remained somber ever since he left the warehouse.

"The Einzbern family may have betrayed you. They may have also betrayed their other allies. Kiritsugu... This Holy Grail War is more complicated than we anticipated."

After stubbing out her cigarette, Maiya walked to the bedside, picked up the satellite phone, and put it in the black box on the bedside table. Looking at the somewhat dazed Kiritsugu Emiya, she whispered something to him.

"I'm going out for a walk. You proceed according to plan tomorrow."

Kiritsugu Emiya had no interest in responding to Maiya's words. He straightened his black trench coat, stood up, and walked towards the door.

There are some things that he needs to confirm in person.

"Kiritsugu..."

......

"Brother, you're back! Erza was so bored here!"

Sitting alone on the shipping container, Yin Liya saw a figure walking towards her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Lin Tian. Overjoyed, she jumped off the container, ran to Lin Tian's side, grabbed his hand, and told him how lonely she was being alone there.

"Haha, Erza. You can't blame your brother. Blame Ace. You asked him to stay with you, but he ran off first."

Lin Tian affectionately stroked Erza's crimson hair. He ruthlessly shifted the blame to Ace, who had deserted the team without permission.

"If Brother Ace hears you talking badly about him behind his back, he'll definitely drag you to the arena for a fight, hehe. By the way! Where's Sister Yinliya?"

The Gene Era

Erza wasn't surprised to hear Lin Tian skillfully shift the blame to Ace. After chuckling, she noticed that Yinliya hadn't returned with Lin Tian, ​​and asked her curiously.

"She went back with her mother."

"Mother...?"

Upon hearing that Illya had gone to find her mother, the kind-hearted Erza was immediately happy for her. But then she began to feel lost, because the word "mother" had been far removed from her as far back as she could remember.

Like the steak on a rich person's table, it's something she can only dream of.

"Erza, if you want to see your mother, how about your brother takes you to see her after we get back?"

Seeing Erza's heartbroken expression, Lin Tian suddenly realized his mistake and felt guilty for having touched a nerve with her. He quickly promised to take her to find her mother later.

Irene Belserion, a very incompetent mother. After giving birth to Erza, she even tried to possess Erza's body, but ultimately failed. She then abandoned Erza in a village.

Lin Tian didn't want to comment too much on Eileen.

Don't persuade others to be kind without other people's affairs.

Lin Tian only knew that Irene was Erza's mother, but what had she gone through before giving birth to Erza that made her painfully abandon her child?

He didn't know these things, and it wasn't appropriate for him to make too many judgments.

But seeing Erza's longing for maternal love, Lin Tian made a decision: to go to the Fairy Tail world, find Irene, and ask her why she abandoned Erza.

"No, brother. You are enough for me."

Erza shook her head, raised her little face, looked at Lin Tian very seriously, and rejected Lin Tian's kindness with firm and clear words.

Although she envied Yin Liya for being able to see her mother, she could not accept the mother who had abandoned her.

"Alright, let your brother carry you to find Ace! We still have something to do tonight, we can't let that guy slack off..."

Seeing the hint of sadness in Erza's resolute eyes, Lin Tian decided not to say anything more. Erza wasn't a child anymore; she had her own ideas, and Lin Tian didn't want to force her to do anything.

But whatever Erza wants to do, he will stand firmly behind her. This is the duty of a good older brother.

"No! I'm all grown up now. I can walk by myself! Hehe~"

Chapter 118 The Question of Shirou's Surname in the Gacha Servant (Third Update, Please Subscribe)

Always pampered by Lin Tian, ​​Erza felt like she was getting younger and younger.

But this is not what she wants. She longs to grow up and become stronger, and she doesn't want things to be like today, where her brother goes to fight while she can only hide in the back and wait for his return.

"Really? Then do you know where Ace is right now?"

"Ah! This..."

This question stumped Erza. Ace had left silently, appearing and disappearing without a trace. She had no idea where Ace was or what he was doing...

"Alright, come on up. We have important things to do tonight, so we can't waste any more time."

"All right..."

Before she could even begin, Erza, who was just deciding to grow up, climbed onto Lin Tian's back...

......

"Is this the money in Illya's world? It looks a lot like Bailey's."

In a secluded alley, Ace pulled a wallet from the lying, red-haired thug and carefully examined several bills. Realizing they were similar to Bailey's, he muttered suspiciously.

"Big brother, thank you for your help."

After Ace had looted all the wallets of the unconscious thugs, a red-haired boy emerged from the shadows of the trash can and bowed to Ace in thanks.

"Ah, haha. It's nothing, I was just passing by. It's so late, and you're still wandering around outside instead of going home. You could easily run into danger."

Ace glanced at the banknotes in his hand, then smiled at the child and urged him to go home quickly.

Who would have thought that Ace, a pirate, would stand up for a child in the Type-Moon world and rescue him from danger?

"Big brother, that's so kind. I want to be a chivalrous person when I grow up! I want to become a champion of justice!"

The child secretly felt the money he had won in his pocket, looked at Ace who was smiling brightly in the sun, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up his courage to speak.

"Haha! Young man, you have a great dream! I admire you! My name is Portgas D. Ace, you can just call me Brother Ace!"

Seeing the boy's lofty aspirations, Ace's eyes lit up, and he praised him generously.

"My name is Nasu Shirou. Big brother, you can just call me Shirou. Um, big brother, can I see you again tomorrow?" Little Shirou, with his innocent and naive look, pressed his little index finger to his lower lip, and his clear, childlike voice echoed throughout the alley.

"Haha, I'm here for...tourism. I probably won't be here tomorrow. Shirou, let's make a promise: if you really become a hero of justice in the future, then we'll meet again!"

"I will try my best, big brother Ace!"

After making a promise with Ace, Shirou became hesitant, wondering whether he should admit his mistake to the older brother who believed in him.

The "partner of justice" thing was just something he said offhand...

But just as he was about to speak, Ace spoke first.

"Come on, let me take you home. It's so late, I'm worried about leaving you home alone!"

"Okay, Brother Ace!"

In the end, Shirou was unable to admit his mistake to Ace...

......

"Wow, our Pirate King is actually personally escorting a child home. If the Marines saw this, they'd definitely think that child is your illegitimate son..."

As Ace watched Shirou being ushered into his home by a young woman and prepared to leave, Lin Tian's teasing voice came from behind him.

"Lin Tian, ​​Erza. How did you find me?"

Ace, still feeling bitter about not being able to find his companions, excitedly approached Lin Tian and Erza and asked them a question.

"There's no special way, it's just that I have a lot of people."

"Really?" Ace looked at the two of them alone, somewhat puzzled. However, after realizing that Yinliya was not there, he didn't dwell on the deeper meaning behind Lin Tian's words.

"Where is Yinliya?"

"She went back to her mother's side. We've already made plans to visit her tomorrow!"

"I see! So what do we do now? Should we find a hotel to stay in?"

Upon learning that Yinliya had returned to her family, Ace felt much more at ease and then asked her what was wrong.

"No! We still have one more thing to do!"

As he spoke, Lin Tian's eyes turned cold, and an aura of dominance emanated from him, causing Erza beside him to shiver involuntarily.

She looked up at Lin Tian, ​​wondering why her brother was exuding such a powerful aura, and what could have made him so serious.

"What is it?"

Lin Tian's change caused Ace, who was standing opposite him, to instantly lose his playful expression and become serious. In his memory, Lin Tian had never been so angry before.

The anger he was now displaying made her feel somewhat afraid and uneasy.

As expected, Ace guessed what Lin Tian was going to do...

"kill!"

"what!"

With a burst of domineering aura, a dense killing intent emanated from Lin Tian. Erza instinctively covered her mouth and took a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid, Erza. I'm going to kill scum, a depraved and inhuman killer."

After suppressing his imposing aura, Lin Tian stroked Erza's head and gently comforted her.

Ryunosuke Uryu, Caster Gilles de Rais in the Fourth Holy Grail War, who calls himself Bluebeard's Master.

He was a complete antisocial personality, killing to understand death. Killing to understand life.
