Perhaps Zhao Si's reaction was too intense. Illya, who was sleeping on Zhao Si's legs, let out a soft moan, then sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her little hands.

"dad?"

She seemed to hear her father calling her just now.

"Uh, it's okay, Illya, just go back to sleep."

Zhao Si reached out and touched Illya's head, comforting her.

"Well, Illya, I can't sleep. It's all Daddy's fault." Unexpectedly, the little girl pouted and said.

"Ah this..."

Zhao Si scratched his head. Although he was anxious to ask about matters related to the system task, it was obvious that he still had to coax his daughter.

"Dad was wrong. How can little Illya forgive Dad?" Zhao Si asked patiently.

"Well...."

Hearing this, Illya tilted her head, a thoughtful look on her face.

Seeing that she was still thinking, Zhao Si questioned her in his heart.

"System, what's going on? Why is Illya's name on this mission?"

[...Host, that Illya is not this Illya. I believe that once you calm down, you will know who the "Illya" in the mission refers to.]

That Illya is not this Illya?

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then, as the system said, he calmed down his impatience, thought about it, and suddenly remembered something. He frowned and said uncertainly:

"You mean, Emiya Kiritsugu?"

[Yes, this quest refers to Illyasviel von Einzbern, not Illyasviel.]

Shit, so the child born from Emiya Kiritsugu and that new Lesser Holy Grail is not only a daughter, just like in the original novel, but also named Illya?

Is this the correction of world power? This is too strong.

However, Zhao Si felt relieved.

Fortunately, fortunately, she is not my own daughter.

Afterwards, Zhao Si looked at the task again, and after seeing the column of task rewards, Zhao Si was dumbfounded again.

What the hell, is this the end of the mission?

The reward for this mission is so generous?

"System, is this the final mission?"

Zhao Si asked curiously.

[Due to the host's change of stance, this world quest mode has been changed to a random trigger mode. Therefore, this quest is not the final main quest. The host can choose whether to accept it.]

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Si nodded. So that's what was happening.

Afterwards, Zhao Si directly accepted the task. Well, it would be a shame not to accept this kind of task.

"Hmm! Illya figured it out!"

At this time, little Illya's eyes lit up and said.

"Oh? Then what does Illya have to do to forgive her father?" Zhao Si looked at her and said.

"Hehe, Illya wants daddy to play with her all day long!"

After thinking for a moment, Illya added softly:

"Without Mom, just Dad and Illya..."

"Oh?"

Zhao Si raised his eyebrows and looked at little Illya with a smile, then raised his eyes and looked behind Illya, at Ellie, who had just entered the room and stiffened after hearing Illya's words.

"Illyasviel!" Ellie's frantic voice rang out.

"Ouch! Dad, help me!"

Illya was startled and quickly hid behind Zhao Si.

The mother and daughter surrounded Zhao Si and started playing around.

director's office.

As the most mysterious dean of the Clock Tower, only a handful of people have seen him for a long time.

The dean has actually been in the dean's office all the time, but because he is not powerful enough, he can't see her at all.

"So, Taoist Chongxu, are you ready to leave?"

The dean sat in his seat, looking at the man in front of him.

"This is different from what we agreed upon. You were supposed to teach here for the full three years, right? And it's only been a year and a half."

"I've finished reading all the books in the library. There's no point in keeping them any longer. I might as well go back to the mountains and practice in seclusion. Besides..."

Zhao Si sat opposite the dean, shook his head, and said helplessly:

"People from the Clock Tower aren't really suited to practicing Taoism. I don't have many people coming to my classes anymore. The people here have a lot of adventurous spirit, but they're all restless. I can't help them."

"...This only means that your sect's method is indeed mysterious, but it is not suitable for the Clock Tower." Upon hearing this, the dean nodded helplessly.

"So, there's nothing for me to do here, so I'll go back. A year and a half is long enough for me to be out." Zhao Si chuckled.

"...That being said, the agreement between us..."

"Ms. Dean, the agreement is dead, but people are alive. How about this, if the Magic Association needs help in the future, I can help out once, and it will be considered as offsetting the remaining one and a half years. What do you think?" Zhao Si suggested.

"Ok."

He frowned and thought about it. It was not unacceptable to spend a year and a half of time without any real meaning in exchange for help from a strong man whose background even he could not see clearly.

It is precisely because he cannot see the details clearly that the dean would never let Zhao Si leave.

The founder of Taoism?

This special person came to the Clock Tower, so he had to be given a set of seals.

"In that case, I won't stay long. I hope we can have another opportunity to communicate in the future." Zhao Si smiled, glanced at the dean, and turned to leave.

The dean looked at Zhao Si's back as he left, remaining silent.

"East..."

After a while, the dean murmured softly. Suddenly, she saw the place where Zhao Si had been sitting before, and her pupils couldn't help but shrink.

On the floor beneath the chair, a deep sword mark appeared out of nowhere.

Because he has lived here for many years, the dean's office has long been transformed into his own magic workshop.

Now, without his knowledge, right before his eyes, someone had created a flaw in his magic workshop.

"Hehe...old monster..."

After a while, the dean leaned back in his chair and sighed silently.

This was a warning, a warning to her.

After leaving the dean's office, Zhao Si found his two disciples.

Mao Yun must leave with him. After all, he is the leader of Taoism. He came to the Clock Tower only because Zhao Si needed him.

And Weber....

There was nothing much to say to this unfortunate child. Zhao Si just told him to reach the Jindan stage as soon as possible, and then left him some resources for cultivation.

Afterwards, Zhao Si took Ai Li, little Illya, and Mao Yun back to the Taoist sect. After dropping Mao Yun off, the family of three went to Japan.

Japan is the venue for the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Zhao Si originally planned to go there on the eve of the Holy Grail War.

But there is no way, because all the girls in the "Sad Elegy" mission are in Japan.

Japan, Tokyo.

A plane slowly landed at the airport, carrying Zhao Si and his family of three to this island country where all kinds of stories will happen in the future.

After getting off the plane, Zhao Si and the other two quickly arrived at a hotel that had been booked in advance.

Illya was running around the hotel room out of curiosity, while Ai Li and Zhao Si were putting their luggage away.

Ellie's hair turned back to silver and her face returned to its original appearance.

The Taoist founder and his family have returned to China, and now the one coming to Japan is the mysterious heroic spirit and his master.

"Let me think... which of these children should I look for first?"

Zhao Si recalled the information about the five girls given in the mission and thought for a while.

However, Zhao Si soon discovered that there seemed to be nothing worth thinking about.

At this moment, it is 1989, and some of the children seem to have just been born.

Sakura Matou should have just been born. Judging from her own daughter, Illyasviel is probably two or three years old. Kallen is not very sure, and she should not be in Japan now.

Then there are only Asagami Fujino and Mujo Kohaku. They should be around six years old, which is exactly the stage when their own misfortunes began.

What a coincidence, isn't it?

As for the mysterious side of Japan, the "Four Demon-Exorcist Families" were not difficult to find. Soon, Zhao Si found out the location of Qianshang... Oh, the Qianshen family. At that time, the Qianshen family had not yet gone bankrupt.

And the location of Wu Jing's family.

After saying goodbye to Ai Li and Illya, Zhao Si set off for Qian Shen's house.

As one of Japan's famous "Four Demon-Exorcist Families", the Asagami family has inevitably declined with the development of the times. The current head of the Asagami family even believes that in contemporary society, the Demon-Exorcist family is bound to decline.

At this moment, the sun was half setting in an alley not far from Qian Shen's house.

A girl of five or six years old was walking in the alley, carrying a schoolbag, and seemed to have just returned home from school.

Suddenly, several stones flew towards the girl and hit her forehead hard.

The girl fell to the ground after being hit by the stone, but strangely, she did not make any sound even after being hit on the head.

"bingo!"

A voice was heard, and several boys who looked a few years older than the girl ran out from not far away, surrounded the girl, and looked down at her miserable condition.

The girl's purple hair was scattered on the ground, and above her forehead, bright red blood flowed down from her forehead to both sides.

There was a look of surprise on her face, as if she had not expected to encounter such a thing.

"Look, she's stunned. She looks so stupid."

"It's bleeding. It looks like it hurts."

"Does it hurt? Look, she doesn't react at all."

"She's a monster after all. Mom and Dad both told me not to stay with her because she'll get hurt."

"But it doesn't seem like anything is wrong now. Isn't this just like a fool? There's no movement at all."

"Hey! Are you looking down on us? Give us some reaction!"

As he said that, one of the boys raised his foot and kicked the girl.

"Well!"

The girl came to her senses and looked at the boys in front of her who were older than her with some horror.

She shrank back, holding her head, and said in a trembling voice:

"No...don't...don't bully me...Mom...save me..."

She was terrified, terrified of the child who was bullying her. Any child faced with this situation would have the same reaction.

However, in the face of the girl's plea for mercy, these older boys did not soften their hearts. On the contrary, the girl's trembling figure aroused the desire to destroy in the hearts of these children.

I saw them kicking the girl one after another.

But the girl just kept shrinking her body and said nothing.

Seeing this, the boys became even more excited, as if they wanted to see who could make the girl scream.

"Tsk, bad guys are bad guys, it has nothing to do with age. When you guys grow up, you probably won't be good guys either, right?"
