My two-dimensional resident

Inside Einzbern Castle, Ilya saw her mother lying unconscious in her father's arms and rushed to her side to check on her. Finding her mother's condition extremely bad, she immediately burst into tears.

Kiritsugu Emiya placed Irisviel on the bed and silently held Illya in his arms with his one arm.

Due to the attack by the false beasts, only one-third of the buildings on the left side of Einzbern Castle were still usable.

At this moment, the group was in a relatively safe room, silently watching Yin Liya's family.

Lin Tian sighed softly and waved to Ace and the others, indicating that it was inappropriate for outsiders to stay there. Although Ace was usually a bit impulsive, he understood Lin Tian's meaning at this moment.

Led by Lin Tian, ​​Ace, Erza, and Waver left the house and came to the living room where Irisviel had entertained them.

Although the pseudo-beast had destroyed the roof of the living room, the facilities inside remained intact. The group casually found a chair and sat down.

"Brother, Sister Irisviel, she... she'll be alright, won't she?"

Erza's eyes remained fixed on the room, her gaze and expression filled with worry for Irisviel.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. She's just very weak right now, but with some time to recover, she'll get better. If she eats our apples, she might recover even faster." Lin Tian patted Erza's head, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Although apples don't have healing effects, they can provide her with magic and strengthen her physique. Lin Tian believes that as long as Irisviel keeps eating apples, her health might improve, and she won't suffer the same fate as Ilya after the end of World War V.

Now that her most trusted brother had said so, Erza put aside her worries and silently prayed that Irisviel would wake up soon.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't reported her brother's achievements yet, so she quickly spoke up.

"Oh, right! Brother, before I passed out, I killed a very tough opponent. He used some kind of magic to turn into three worms and tried to take over my body, but in the end, I still won!"

"Haha, Erza has grown up! She can actually kill such a powerful opponent!"

Seeing Erza's expectant eyes, practically begging for praise, Lin Tian didn't hold back his smile and happily showered her with compliments.

'The bug... is it that old bug? He hasn't appeared since I broke that bug mass. If the bug Erza is talking about is him, then I'll save myself the trouble of killing him. But I still need to confirm.'

Seeing Erza's happy smile because of his praise, Lin Tian pondered silently.

A gentle breeze brushed against his cheek, and Lin Tian suddenly remembered Webber, whom he had forgotten. So, with a kind expression, he turned to look at Webber.

At this moment, Waver sat upright, with the two mysterious magicians beside him being powerful Heroic Spirits. He was afraid that he might do something rash and anger them.

"Mr. Weber!"

"Huh?! Ah! Mr. Lin Tian, ​​is there anything I can help you with?" Already nervous, Weber immediately stood up and faced Lin Tian when he heard Lin Tian call him. Although he had already experienced it, the panic in his expression was hard to hide.

“Don’t be nervous, Mr. Weber. I asked you to come with us here so that you could help me see if there is a way to remove the curse from my sister’s eyes.”

Weber's flustered appearance only deepened Lin Tian's smile. This smile wasn't mocking, but rather Lin Tian's admiration for this future monarch.

The arrival of the fake beast destroyed half of the house and took away the roof of the living room, but the facilities inside remained intact. The group found a chair, brushed off the dust and pebbles, and sat down.

"Brother, Sister Irisviel, she... she'll be alright, won't she?"

Erza's eyes remained fixed on the room, her gaze and expression filled with worry for Irisviel.

Irisviel was the gentlest mother she had ever met, and she didn't want her sister Ilya to lose her.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. She's just very weak right now, but with some time to recover, she'll get better. If she eats our apples, she might recover even faster."

Lin Tian patted Erza's head, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Although apples don't have healing effects, they can provide her with magic and strengthen her physique. Lin Tian believes that as long as Irisviel continues to eat apples and gets a new, healthy heart, her body will improve significantly, and she won't suffer the same fate as Yinliya after the Fifth World War.

The Einzbern family's artificial human technology is very advanced, so giving Irisviel a heart transplant would be no problem at all.

"Um..."

Now that her most trusted brother had said so, Erza put aside her worries and silently prayed that her sister Irisviel would wake up soon.

Then she suddenly remembered that she hadn't reported her victory to her brother yet, so she looked at Lin Tian excitedly and raised her voice.

"Oh, right! Brother, before I passed out, I killed a very tough opponent. He used some kind of magic to turn into three worms and tried to take over my body, but in the end I still won!"

That bug actually tried to surrender and beg me to spare its life. It clearly wanted to take over my body, but it thought I hadn't noticed. It really treats me like a child! Humph~

"Haha, Erza has grown up! She can actually kill such a powerful opponent!"

Seeing Erza's expectant eyes, practically begging for praise, Lin Tian didn't hold back his smile and happily showered her with compliments.

'The bug... is it that old bug? He hasn't appeared since I broke that bug mass. If the bug Erza is talking about is him, then I'll save myself the trouble of killing him. But I still need to confirm.'

Seeing Erza's happy smile because of his praise, Lin Tian pondered silently.

A gentle breeze brushed against his cheek, and Lin Tian suddenly remembered Weber, whom he had forgotten. So he turned to Weber with a kind expression.

At this moment, Waver sat upright, with the two mysterious magicians beside him being powerful Heroic Spirits. He was afraid that he might do something rash and anger them.

"Mr. Weber!"

"Huh?! Ah! Mr. Lin Tian, ​​is there anything I can help you with?" Already nervous, Weber immediately stood up and faced Lin Tian when he heard Lin Tian call him. Although he had already experienced it, the panic in his expression was hard to hide.

“Don’t be nervous, Mr. Weber. I asked you to come with us here so that you could help me see if there is a way to remove the curse from my sister’s eyes.”

Weber's flustered appearance only deepened Lin Tian's smile. This smile wasn't mocking, but rather Lin Tian's admiration for this future monarch.

“Okay, Mr. Lin Tian. I’ll examine your sister’s eyes right away.”

Phew~ So that's what it was. Weber was terrified, thinking they were going to do some kind of evil experiment on his body.

Waver's tense heart finally calmed down a bit after hearing Lin Tian's request. He took a deep breath, and without saying a word, walked straight to Erza's side and began to use his magic to examine the curse in her eyes.

Ten minutes later, Weber's face was covered in sweat, and his expression turned distressed. He cautiously glanced at Lin Tian, ​​but Lin Tian noticed him. This made him extremely embarrassed and nervous.

'This is more stressful than experimenting on myself!'

Weber was no longer in the same relaxed and cheerful mood as before.

"It's alright, Mr. Weber. Please speak freely."

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lin Tian. The curse that Miss Erza sees is something I’m too weak to do anything about. I’ve never seen this kind of curse before, and even the Clock Tower’s library has no record of it.”

Waver withdrew his arm from Erza's temple, shook his head at Lin Tian, ​​and felt somewhat guilty.

"Is that so...then do you think your monarch can remove this curse?"

After listening to Waver's words, Lin Tian did not blame him for his weak abilities. He gently stroked Erza's hair, who also looked dejected, and asked after thinking for a long time.

"This... I'm not sure. Mr. Lin Tian, ​​why don't you take Miss Erza to the Clock Tower? I can introduce you there..."

Midway through his sentence, Webber suddenly realized that an hour earlier he had personally sent his mentor to his death. If this were exposed, he would become a criminal wanted by the Mage's Association, and his chances of returning to the Clock Tower would be slim.

'We're doomed! We're doomed!'

Thinking of this, all his strength vanished instantly, his legs went weak, and he fell backward. Fortunately, Lin Tian reacted quickly and grabbed his arm, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Thank you!"

Lin Tian sensed the worry in Weber's expression. But he didn't know the reason for it at first. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized the inside story, and a reassuring smile appeared on his face.

"You don't need to worry about what consequences Kenneth's death will bring you. Only we survivors know what happened at the shrine."

We don't have the malicious intent or the time to report you to the Mage's Association for killing Kenneth. As long as you don't self-destruct, Kenneth's death in this Holy Grail War has nothing to do with you.

The members of the Holy Church should be there by now. When they find Kenneth's head, they'll most likely conclude that he was killed by Kiritsugu Emiya. After all, the final, fatal blow was his doing.

At that time, Lin Tian had already burned Kenneth's body in the shrine's vegetable garden.

The deep, bloody hole in his head was unsurprisingly caused by a gunshot. And among the Masters participating in the Holy Grail War, only Kiritsugu Emiya used firearms.

Since Kiritsugu Emiya has already been recognized as a disgrace to magicians by the Mage's Association, it wouldn't be a problem to make him take the blame for another one.

No, this isn't a problem at all. Everyone in the Holy Grail War is an enemy; it's normal for anyone to kill anyone else.

However, Waver's situation is special; he is Kenneth's student. If the Clock Tower finds out that Kiritsugu Emiya killed Kenneth with Waver's help, although he won't be punished, Waver will most likely be expelled.

But... are there any witnesses?

There is no answer.

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Lin Tian."

After hearing Lin Tian's explanation, Weber was somewhat incredulous. He stood there frozen like a stone for a long time before he came to his senses and understood the true meaning behind Lin Tian's words.

He helped himself conceal the evidence of his crime.

"Here, these are apples, a specialty of our hometown. They can't heal an injured body, but they can replenish your magic when you're low on it."

"Ah! I wasn't much help either. This...this..."

Although he didn't know the origin of the apple in Lin Tian's hand, upon hearing that it could instantly replenish his body's magic power, Webber, as a magician, immediately understood its preciousness.

He can't accept such a treasure!

"It's alright. I'll need you to come with me later, so just take this. It's just payment; don't you think it's enough?"

"Too honest," Lin Tian thought to himself, looking at Weber's shy face. "Anyone else would have accepted it without batting an eye."

"Then... that's fine!"

Seeing Lin Tian's determined gaze, Weber had no choice but to take the apple and put it in his pocket. Still somewhat uneasy, he patted the protruding part of the apple to make it seem as if he wasn't carrying any valuables.

"Can't apples cure the body? Then why did I feel better after eating two apples when I was almost beaten to death?"

Ace, who was idly idly playing with a crystal ornament on the table, looked up at Lin Tian after hearing what Lin Tian said to Waver.

"With your abnormal physique, you can heal wounds quickly as long as you have the strength. Can anyone else compare to you?"

Lin Tian looked at Ace's dazed expression and muttered a speechless complaint.

"Forehead..."

Lin Tian's praise of his abnormal physique, though somewhat unpleasant, was still a form of affirmation.

Ignoring Ace's somewhat peculiar thought process, Lin Tian refocused his attention on Waver and said in a deep voice.

"Come with me. There's something only you can do."

Seeing Waver nod in agreement, Lin Tian lowered his body, gently placed one hand on Erza's shoulder, and pointed his index finger at Ace with the other hand, speaking with a solemn expression.

"Erza, do your brother a favor and keep an eye on Ace. Don't let him run around! Can you do that?"

At this moment, Erza was wondering what her brother was going to do with this strange brother, but after hearing Lin Tian's words, the look of doubt and curiosity on her face hadn't completely faded before it turned into one of utter seriousness.

"Okay, brother! I promise I won't let Brother Ace run away!"

To project an image of reliability, Erza puffed out her small chest as she spoke.
