The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

To be fair, the girl felt that perhaps this shouldn't be done.

but--

Looking at the two people holding hands, Altria found that she was reluctant to let go.

After all, there's no one else here.

There's nothing wrong with doing this...right?

The girl's little thoughts are fully reflected at this moment.

And all of this was seen by Irisviel.

"Oh~" She nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is."

"Then I totally understand—!"

"What's your name?" Lisifal looked at the man and asked.

"Ian."

Irisviel became even more excited now.

"So you're the person Lily has been talking about!"

"So handsome! No wonder Lily kept telling you stories all day and all night long! Oh, now I understand even better!"

"..."

Ian laughed, but Altria was already extremely embarrassed.

"Ellie!"

"Please stop talking! If you continue... I won't be able to face Mr. Ian."

“Okay, okay~” Irisviel shrugged, “I really can’t do anything about you.”

"Let's end this topic here."

"but--"

"There's a new topic."

Irisviel's gaze fell on Illya beside her, and her eyes quickly changed from the joke between best friends to the concern of a mother for her child.

"How did you... bring Illya to find me?"

[This is nothing worth hiding.]

[You decide to confess the whole process to Irisviel.]

"..."

Irisviel looked at Illya, who was happily introducing her mother to Berserker, and her expression became complicated for a moment.

"In order to find me, Illya actually summoned Berserker and participated in this Holy Grail War?"

"Yes." Ian nodded.

"This child's longing for you...is far deeper than you can imagine."

"So you brought her here?" Alice continued to ask.

"You can't say it's us."

Ian looked at the road the group had come from - because of Ibaraki Douji's roasting, there was now some black charred matter on the ground.

"It was you, Mrs. Ellie, who shouted to Lily that brought us here."

"In a sense... you brought Illya to you."

"..."

Irisviel was silent at first, and then she started laughing, with an air of her own that was quite similar to that of her own daughter.

"Ian, you are really good at talking."

"No." Ian shook his head, "I'm just telling the truth."

"correct."

"Mrs. Ellie... I came here because I want to ask for your opinion on something."

"It's about how to accommodate Illya, right?" Irisviel said.

"Hey, Ellie, do you already know?" Altria was very surprised.

“I guessed it.”

Irisviel's eyes swept over the two of them.

"after all--"

"You who can do this must all be Servants."

"You will leave Fuyuki City sooner or later - and Illya can't do that."

Perhaps realizing that this was not a good idea, Irisviel quickly returned to her previous lively tone.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Having said this, Ian no longer beat around the bush.

"Mrs. Ellie."

"We plan to have the Tohsaka family adopt Illya after this Holy Grail War is over."

"The Tohsaka family?"

Irisviel paused, as if she remembered something.

"Is its owner Tōsaka Tokiomi?"

"That..." Altria answered carefully, "He is dead."

"I know...it looks like they are from the same family."

Irisviel's tone became a little worried.

"Can you really ensure that Illya won't be bullied there?"

"no problem."

Ian nodded very seriously.

"I will do my best to ensure that."

"anyway--"

"They will allow her to have as normal a life as possible."

"But speaking of which..." Ian glanced at the little girls playing next to him, "I want to know why she has such a complicated magic circuit?"

"Because she, like me, has undergone transformation from her family."

“But—” Irisviel hesitated.

"But what?"

"..."

Irisviel hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell everything.

After all, Ian made that promise.

"But it seems that Illya's transformation is only partially complete - she may stay like this forever."

"Why is this happening?" Ian was puzzled.

"Perhaps it was the failure of Kiritsugu and I that made the family realize that our approach would not work."

Irisviel looked at the two people in front of her.

"If that's the case, are you still willing to help Illya?"

"Of course./I do." Ian and Altria said almost at the same time.

The two looked at each other, and then understood each other's intentions in an instant.

"Mrs. Ellie." Ian summed up his and Altria's thoughts.

"No matter what...we will help Illya."

"As long as you're willing to believe us."

"..."

Irisviel was stunned at first, and then she laughed.

"Really."

"You... why do you always sound so reliable when you talk?"

"That--"

"I'm leaving this child in your hands!"

"Don't worry." Ian nodded.

"But speaking of which...how should we tell Illya about your death?"

"what?"

Irisviel blinked, looking confused.

"What are you talking about? Illya already knew about it."

"what?!"

Ian and Altria were both shocked.

"She knows?"

“Yeah.” Irisviel tilted her head slightly, looking like she couldn’t understand the two people’s reactions.

"What makes you think she doesn't know?"

"Is she crying? No, how could our Einzbern family's child be so fragile?"

"..."

Ian and Altria thought about it carefully and found that Illya never seemed to have said that she didn't know.

From the beginning to the end, her goal was to "find her mother" rather than "know where her mother was buried."

But the two were not sad because of this misunderstanding.

On the contrary, they breathed a sigh of relief - because it meant a thorny problem had been solved.

"That's great." Altria covered her chest.

"Mr. Ian, now you don't have to worry about Illya's problem."

"Yes."

Ian took Altria's hand.

"The only thing left is how to tell Rin and Sakura about this - but it shouldn't be a problem, Mrs. Aoi likes Illya very much."

"And as a magician, Illya should also be a good material."

"Of course!" Irisviel's tone was full of pride.

"That's Kiritsugu and I's child - naturally he has talent in this area."

"correct."

Irisviel remembered something.

"Although I am still unclear about the situation of this Holy Grail War."

"But you must be careful of a man named Kotomine Kirei."

"..."

Hearing the name, Ian was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly.

"What's up with him?"
