Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

The other person was squatting in front of him.

Behind her stood a young woman dressed in a navy blue dress shirt, paired with a tie and a dark French-style suit.

That was already completely men's clothing.

It must be very strange and funny to see a girl who is about 1.55 meters tall wearing this outfit.

But when worn by that girl, it was a completely different story.

It's not the so-called contrast of a woman dressed as a man, but rather a kind of cold and tough, heroic temperament that is hard to find in ordinary people, which is completely different from the beauty of women.

Her male attire made her look like an extraordinary and beautiful young man. Her slender body and fair skin, devoid of any rugged beard, gave the impression of a pure and innocent young man who did not yet possess the charm of a mature man.

Irisviel and Artoria?

Lin Jiu'an subconsciously took a step back, his expression somewhat stiff.

I'm so stupid, really.

I was just looking for a place to stay for a while, without considering that there are hardly any decent people out and about in Fuyuki City at night during this period.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

When Irisviel saw Lin Jiu'an back away, she mistakenly thought he believed that she and Artoria were villains who kidnapped children.

He hurriedly explained, "I was just worried because I saw you walking alone outside in the middle of the night."

As she spoke, Irisviel carefully observed the boy, and the more she observed, the more heartbroken she felt.

In the cold winter, the other person was only wearing a thin nightgown.

Still wet, as if they had just crawled out of the water, their clothes were disheveled and frightening, and stained with blood, as if they had just been beaten and chased. They looked extremely pitiful, shivering in the cold wind.

Especially that face.

Never underestimate this face!

If Lin Jiu'an were ugly or average-looking, Irisviel might show him some concern, but she would only hand him over to the police.

But at this moment, looking at Lin Jiu'an's handsome face, which was so beautiful that even she, a perfect artificial human, could not compare to it.

And there's that inexplicable, mysterious aura.

Irisviel's mind went blank for a moment, then a surge of pity and tenderness welled up inside her.

Completely ignoring the illogical parts, he reached out and hugged the handsome little boy shivering in the cold wind, warming him with his own body.

"Little one, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

The warm embrace made Lin Jiu'an stiffen, but Irisviel quickly felt the other person gradually relax.

“Master,” Artoria whispered a reminder.

"It's alright, Saber, it's just one night's delay, and tonight hasn't officially started yet."

No, what I really wanted to say was that something was off about this boy.

Seeing Irisviel, who had only said one sentence to her before lovingly caring for the boy in her arms, Artoria knew she probably couldn't persuade her Master, who was overflowing with maternal love. She could only sigh inwardly and keep a close eye on the boy who seemed out of place.

She was determined that if the other party had any intention of harming Irisviel, she would kill him, even if it might anger Irisviel.

"Where are your parents?"

Lin Jiu'an hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't have a father or mother, I'm an orphan."

"Huh? Then you..."

Irisviel stared blankly at Lin Jiu'an, whose luxurious nightgown clearly didn't suit him like an orphan.

Which orphanage dresses its orphans in such nice clothes?

“I was previously fostered in the home of a wealthy person with a large house, but the male head of the household hated me and just tried to kill me, so I escaped from there.”

Artoria frowned.

She didn't even notice the boy was lying, which means...

Was he telling the truth?

Magic has the ability to detect lies. Although Irisviel adored the overly handsome little boy, she was also somewhat wary, and only after confirming that the boy was telling the truth and there wasn't a single lie in his words could she be sure of it.

Irisviel's wariness almost completely vanished, and her gaze towards him softened considerably.

"What a pitiful child with such a tragic fate."

Irisviel gently smoothed Lin Jiu'an's hair, which was a little dirty from being soaked in water for a while and stuck to his face.

She said softly, "Come with me, I'll take care of you."

······

The Einzbern family's castle in Fuyuki.

now.

In the corridor leading to the bathroom, Artoria was earnestly offering her advice to her Master.

"Master."

"This boy named Lin Jiu'an is definitely not right. He can't be as simple as he claims!"

“I know, Saber, I know.”

Irisviel wore a gentle smile.

"But he wasn't lying, he was telling the truth, and he doesn't have the aura of a magician or a Servant, nor is he a participant in this Holy Grail War, so he won't have any impact on us."

"As for secrets, who doesn't have some secrets? Don't you, Saber, have any?"

"But..."

Artoria knew that Irisviel was right.

But her intuition told her that she couldn't keep that boy by her side.

He's in danger!

But Irisviel no longer gave her a chance to speak.

"Alright, Saber, I know what you're saying, there won't be any problems."

"After all, neither I nor you, as the Knight King, can stand by and watch a poor child be persecuted by his family and freeze to death on the streets in the middle of the night, can you?"

"Besides, even if there is any danger, Saber, won't you protect me?"

Artoria fell silent, then finally nodded and said, "Master, please be careful and don't let your guard down."

“Saber is really reliable.”

Irisviel smiled gently.

"Then I'll go to the bathroom to give that little guy a bath first, otherwise he'll be getting impatient."

Chapter 11 is over, and Chaldea is coming to kill me!

"He did something stupid again."

in the bathroom.

The hot water spraying from the showerhead onto Lin Jiu'an's body.

Warm water flowed down his head, and Lin Jiu'an frowned as he looked down at the water flowing into the drain on the ground.

She somehow ended up coming back with Irisviel.

If her husband, Kiritsugu Emiya, finds out...

That super-obsessive pervert who is even more perverted than Tokiomi Tohsaka in some ways, wouldn't he be monitored by him 24 hours a day and then, once he discovers that he is not human, he would immediately tear him to pieces?

No, given Kiritsugu Emiya's personality, at such a critical moment, he would probably kill himself without hesitation if he suspected anything wrong with himself.

Then, after discovering that he could actually be resurrected, he relentlessly hunted him down for eternity.

"Should we just run away?"

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the bathroom door, and Irisviel's gentle voice came from outside.

"Jiu'an, I'm coming in."

Before Lin Jiu'an could answer, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Irisviel had already changed her clothes in the dressing room, now only wrapped in a thin white bath towel, her chest bulging, revealing her snow-white cleavage from above.

"Didn't I tell Jiu'an to wait for me?"

Seeing that Lin Jiu'an was already sitting under the shower, Irisviel quickly walked a few steps and turned off the shower.

Then she squatted down and gently rubbed Lin Jiu'an's head.

"You're too young to take a bath by yourself."

Lin Jiu'an glanced down subconsciously, then immediately looked away.

"Um, I can wash it myself."

After a pause, seeing Irisviel puffing out her cheeks in feigned anger, Lin Jiu'an immediately added, "Madam, won't your husband mind?"

"What do you mind?"

Irisviel chuckled and pinched Lin Jiu'an's cheek.

"Don't even mention that I'm not married yet. Even if I were married, how could my partner possibly mind me bathing a little kid like you?"

"Not married?"

Lin Jiu'an looked at Irisviel in disbelief.

If you're not married, then who will fight the Holy Grail War for the Einzbern family?

"What? Do I look that much like someone who's already married?"

"No."

Lin Jiu'an kept shaking his head, his mind racing to come up with a way to subtly hint at something without arousing suspicion.

"But, sister, you give off such a gentle and beautiful vibe, just like a mother."

Irisviel blushed slightly, and was also quite happy. Having grown up in a castle, this was the first time she had been praised by a boy.

Although he is just a little boy, he is still a boy, and a really handsome little boy at that.

"Alright, sister doesn't have a husband, so Jiu'an doesn't need to worry."

As Irisviel spoke, she began to give Lin Jiu'an a bath.

Lin Jiu'an was initially not used to it, but gradually he got used to the feeling of Irisviel's soft, boneless little hands washing his body.

I started to think about the current situation.

Irisviel didn't want to deceive herself, nor did she need to.

In other words, she really did not marry Kiritsugu Emiya.

But that doesn't make sense either; the Einzbern family didn't send Irisviel to fight alone...

and many more? !

Lin Jiu'an suddenly realized something, and his pupils contracted.

He remembered that there was indeed a parallel universe where Irisviel participated in the Holy Grail War as a Master, rather than by marrying Kiritsugu Emiya.

That was a collaboration in FGO about a special dimension during the Fourth Holy Grail War, "FAZO".

In the "what if" timeline, where "the Einzbern's technology could have advanced further," it's conceivable that Irisviel would directly possess Illya's abilities. Therefore, the Einzbern family wouldn't need to hire Kiritsugu; instead, they could directly make Irisviel Artoria's Master.

"Ruined!"

Irisviel's participation in the war is not the most serious issue; the most serious issue is the butterfly effect that would be triggered if Irisviel were to participate.

The victor of this war will be Irisviel.

The Holy Grail, however, was corrupted during the Third World War, meaning that victory would only trigger the activation of all evil in this world.

Therefore, the inhibitory force begins to intervene.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was sent over!
