The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

At this moment, she was riding Altria like a horse, and the treatment she received was almost the same as that of Berserker.

The picture was so harmonious that it was hard to believe that they were actually enemies in the Holy Grail War.

"My Master, there is no need for me to tell you this."

"That's good." Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

"That--"

"Ibaraki... I saw that you seemed to have something to say just now."

"It's hard to be sure at the moment," Ibaraki Douji responded, "so please go deeper inside, Mr. Abe."

"Okay." The man accepted her address, "I understand."

[You hold Altria's hand and walk towards the depths of the mountain.]

【With the help of passers-by, you learned that the name of this mountain is Yuanzang Mountain. 】

[Of course, you and Altria are still mistaken for a newlywed couple with two children.]

[But your smile gradually made the girl less nervous at the beginning. ]

【She quickly "accepted" this "identity." 】

[You just walked towards the depths of the mountain. ]

Deep in Yuanzang Mountain.

Looking at the traces on the mountain road, Ian's expression became more solemn.

Because he could clearly feel that these places were still emitting magical power - this was the result of the "anti-magic" characteristic.

Although it is unknown why it has been able to last so long, it can be regarded as a testimony to Altria's past efforts.

But there is no way to praise her now.

After all, if Illya heard it, she would probably ask more questions out of curiosity.

That would be troublesome.

At this time, Ibaraki Douji in Ian's arms spoke again.

"Lord Abe."

"Is this the place we are going to?"

"..."

Ian looked around and confirmed that he had reached a very deep position, then he answered in the affirmative.

"Yes, that's about the place."

"I understand." Ibaraki Douji nodded, "Abe-sama... please put me down."

"..."

Although he didn't know what Ibaraki Douji was trying to do, Ian realized that she had no hostility and didn't doubt it too much.

"it is good."

After replying in this way, the man put Ibaraki Douji on the ground.

Berserker, who had returned to the ground, had a completely different reaction than before.

Red flames began to burst out from her petite arms, and she looked like she had entered a combat state.

For a moment, the temperature in the forest rose a lot.

If I hadn't walked far enough, I would probably have scared other people passing by.

"Mr. Ian, this is..."

The performance of Berserker in front of her made Altria, who was holding Illya, feel a little worried.

Ian, realizing this, quickly gave an answer that was enough to calm the girl down.

"Lily, it's okay."

"Ibaraki... she didn't mean any harm."

"..."

Although she was worried, after hearing Ian's promise, Altria said nothing more.

She already had a deep trust in him, so naturally she had no doubts at this moment.

“This way—!”

Ibaraki Douji said this as he ran on all fours towards somewhere in the forest.

It looked like she had discovered something.

Ian and Altria looked at each other and then nodded.

The two of them followed directly behind the Berserker, following her as they headed towards the next location.

[You and Altria took Illya and followed Ibaraki Douji. ]

[Her body, surrounded by flames, stood out in the forest.]

[At the same time, it became more and more vigorous - it seemed as if something was attracting Ibaraki Douji. ]

[You realize that the mountain from which Irisviel's voice came still hides some secrets.]

【And at this moment, Ibaraki Douji, who was walking in front, stopped. 】

【She seems to have discovered something. 】

"..."

Realizing that Ibaraki Douji had discovered something, Ian quickly walked up to her side and asked softly.

"Ibaraki."

"Did you...find something?"

"Yeah." Ibaraki Douji nodded, and then made an extremely important speech.

"Here... there is the same aura as the Master."

"..."

Ian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of Ibaraki Douji's first words.

"Ibaraki, are you saying that there is the same aura here as Illya's?"

Ibaraki Douji nodded first, then shook his head.

"Lord Abe."

"It's kind of like that... but not quite."

"..."

This is a very informative description.

Ian thought about it seriously - the man realized that this might be the key to solving the problem.

"Izuki, wait for me."

Ian quickly returned to Altria's side.

"Lily."

"Come here for a moment."

"..."

Although she didn't know what Ian meant by this, Altria nodded obediently.

She gently put Illya on the ground, then followed the man to the side.

"Mr. Ian, what's wrong?"

"Lily." Ian held the girl's hand, "Do you remember how you got in touch with Irisviel back then?"

"..."

The girl thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Actually, I don't know how I did it... because it was Ellie who approached me."

"She came to you on her own initiative?"

"Yes." Altria answered Ian while recalling the scene at that time.

That was the final battle on the Fuyuki Bridge.

"At that time...she said that she was trapped in the Holy Grail and had no way to leave, so she had to ask me for help."

"Holy Grail?"

Ian felt that things were getting closer and closer to what he understood.

"Lily"

“Can I understand your words as Irisviel speaking to you from the Holy Grail?”

"Maybe." Altria hesitated slightly.

"after all--"

"That's what she said at the time."

"..."

【You suddenly figured everything out.】

[It is no coincidence that Ibaraki Douji and Illya meet. 】

[All of this depends on the existence of the "Holy Grail"]

[This is definitely not your conjecture - you should know that Illya and Alice are mother and daughter.]

[At this moment, Ibaraki Douji felt a breath that was similar to the Master's, but completely different. ]

[This is most likely left by Irisviel! ]

[Combined with Altria’s memory——"Irisviel made the sound in the Holy Grail."]

[And the traces of magic along the way that have not dissipated even after ten years. ]

【So--】

[At this moment, there is a high possibility that the fragments of the Holy Grail that contain Irisviel's soul are still there in Yuanzang Mountain! ]

[This may be the chance for Irisviel and Illya to meet again.]

[There is no time to lose, you tell Altria exactly what you think. ]

"This……"

Listening to Ian's thoughts, Altria's face was full of surprise, but she had no way to refute it.

After all, she did feel that there were many similarities between Illya and Irisviel, but she had never considered what Ian proposed.

but--

The thoughtful girl soon realized the problem.

"Mr. Ian."

"Even if that's the case, what can we do?"

"Ally... is definitely dead."

"There's really nothing we can do."

Ian looked at the Berserker Ibaraki Douji who was playing with Illya.

The way she looked at her Master was clearly like that of a friend.

"but--"

"She might be able to do something."

"Mr. Ian...are you talking about Ibaraki?"
