"Okay, Dad!"

Ilya nodded obediently—although there were some unfamiliar girls in the house, Ilya always listened to her father.

However, seeing Qin Chuan walking towards his front door, Ilya asked curiously:

"Is Dad going out to do something?"

"I go to school."

Qin Chuan picked up his schoolbag and showed it to Ilya.

Ilya's expression visibly froze—she probably hadn't expected that Qin Chuan in this world was still a student.

Come to think of it, according to the timeline of the original "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya", it is already ten years after the Fourth Holy Grail War - that is to say, the Qin Chuan that Illya knows should be the Qin Chuan of ten years later.

Although Qin Chuan's appearance is unlikely to change due to his immortality, Ilya never expected that Qin Chuan in this world would still be in high school.

So he's only a few years older than me? Is it really okay for me to call Qin Chuan "Dad"?

"It's fine for him to call me Dad at home, but if there are other people around, please call me Brother."

Qin Chuan probably figured out what Ilya was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh as he said to her.

At home, everyone knows each other, so it's fine for Ilya to call him that. But if a primary school girl calls a high school boy "Dad" in public, it might cause some trouble.

Whether it's a misunderstanding that Qin Chuan has a child at such a young age, or a misunderstanding that he's playing some kind of "special play" with elementary school students, it's not good.

It just so happens that Shirou Emiya, Illya's older brother in the original work, has also disappeared without a trace, so in a sense, Qin Chuan is both a father and an older brother.

"Should I call...call Dad 'brother'?"

Ilya looked confused and bewildered, probably because her mind hadn't quite grasped the situation yet.

Although Qin Chuan is not Ilya's biological father, she still felt a little awkward that the person she originally thought was her father was now calling her brother because of his age.

However, it's not a big problem. Qin Chuan believes that after he gets back from school, Ilya should be able to sort out her thoughts with Irisviel's guidance.

……

"Honestly, why do I have to do this kind of thing?"

At Gabriel's home, she shut down her laptop with a frustrated expression.

The reason I asked Qin Chuan's family for leave today is to conduct my monthly report with the Heavenly Realm.

As usual, Gabriel made her request for a raise from the Celestials, but as always, she was rejected because of her recent poor performance.

However, just as the call was about to end, an urgent notification came from the Celestial Realm, saying that an unusual magical fluctuation had occurred in their town.

Therefore, the Celestial Realm immediately assigned Gabriel a new task: to investigate the source of the unusual magical fluctuations and report back to the Celestial Realm.

In return, the Celestial Realm would give Gabriel some extra pocket money.

This left Gabriel feeling quite helpless; she had absolutely no desire to get involved in such matters—what did the unusual magical fluctuations in the town have to do with her?

If it were the former top student Gabriel, she would probably accept this task without hesitation and conduct a thorough investigation.

But Gabriel is now a gaming addict. If it weren't for the pocket money from the Celestial Realm, she wouldn't even want to contact the Celestial Realm.

"Magic...should we go ask Qin Chuan?"

Gabriel sighed, and Qin Chuan's face appeared in her mind.

In her mind, the only person who could possibly be associated with magic was Qin Chuan.

Although she knew that Qin Chuan's strange ability was not magical, she simply didn't want to investigate further.

"I'll ask when I go to Qin Chuan's house to work after school today."

With this thought in mind, Gabriel struggled to get out of bed and prepared to go to school.

Damn it, she really wanted to be as rich as Qin Chuan; then she wouldn't need to work or go to school!

Chapter 344 Kita Ikuyo's Troubles

"Qin Chuan is here."

In the classroom, Ebina Hina saw Qin Chuan enter the classroom through the back door and spoke to Miura Yumiko next to her.

Although the girls and the boys, including Hayato Hayama, usually form a small group, most of the time the boys and girls gather separately.

Seeing Qin Chuan walk into the classroom, Ebina Hina reminded Miura Yumiko, who had feelings for Qin Chuan, that she should take the initiative.

"What does his arrival have to do with me?"

Yumiko Miura seemed a little nervous, and stubbornly said this.

This statement left both Hina Ebina and Yui Yuigahama feeling helpless—it's clear that Yumiko Miura cares a lot, but why doesn't she show it?

"Miura, the tsundere archetype has already been phased out."

Hina Ebina pushed up her glasses and, in a wise pose often seen in anime, began spouting words that Yumiko Miura couldn't understand at all.

"You don't have any childhood sweetheart or anything like that to begin with. If you don't take the initiative, Qin Chuan might really be snatched away by someone else."

"..."

Although Miura Yumiko didn't understand anything about tsundere or anything like that, she did understand the last sentence.

But despite saying that, Miura Yumiko was still very nervous.

She is actually a very proactive person. After becoming interested in Qin Chuan, she kept trying to bring him into their small circle, which was jokingly called the "socially savvy group".

In her view, as long as Qin Chuan is brought in, she can gradually develop a relationship with him, and everything else will fall into place naturally.

But what bothered her was that Qin Chuan easily thwarted her several attempts—he didn't seem to want to join this conspicuous group.

The more she failed and the more she couldn't get what she wanted, the more intoxicated Miura Yumiko became, and the more she wanted to bring Qin Chuan into their circle.

But the final result is just like now; Qin Chuan still has little interaction with them.

Yesterday, Kasumigaoka Utaha came to the classroom to talk to Qin Chuan, which made her feel an even greater sense of crisis.

In terms of looks, Kasumigaoka Utaha is no less attractive than her, and she also possesses the attributes of a top student and a literary girl, plus that voluptuous figure...

Moreover, the way Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Qin Chuan was definitely not just about wanting to apply to join the club; it was definitely aimed at Qin Chuan himself!

"Since Qin Chuan isn't interested in our group, how about... he does what Kasumigaoka did and applies to join the Paranormal Research Club?"

Seeing Miura Yumiko's displeased expression, Yuigahama Yui offered her suggestion.

Since the other person won't join your circle, why don't you just try to integrate into their circle?

There's no rule that says someone can only stay in one circle at school. It's common for classmates to be in one circle and clubs to be in another.

"Yes, Yuihama's suggestion is good."

Upon hearing Yui Yuigahama's suggestion, Hina Ebina's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, saying to Yumiko Miura.

"What do you think, Miura? This is a good idea."

Upon hearing this, Yumiko Miura's face also showed a hint of excitement, and she began to consider whether this method would work.

If I join Qin Chuan's club, I can probably use the club as an excuse to have more contact with Qin Chuan.

……

During lunch break, in the Paranormal Research Club's room, Kita Iku played a piece on the guitar for everyone.

Compared to the first time I heard Kita Ikuyo play on the rooftop, her improvement was almost obvious. Both her pitch and fluency far surpassed Kita Ikuyo's initial performance.

"Isn't this playing very well? Although I haven't heard how you played before, to reach this level in just two weeks, that's pretty good, isn't it?"

This was the first time Eriri had heard Kita Ikuyo play the guitar. Although she didn't know much about musical instruments, as a layman, she could still tell whether it sounded good or bad.

At least to a layman like herself, Kita Ikuyo's performance sounded quite good, and it didn't seem to contradict Kita Ikuyo's claim before the performance that she was "not in good condition these past few days."

“It looks good on its own, but it would seem out of place in an ensemble.”

Kita Ikuyo just sighed, but Goto Ichiri, who was sitting next to her, spoke up to explain the problem with Kita Ikuyo's performance.

Her words made Qin Chuan give her a strange look.

· 0 flowers requested ·· ········

If he remembers correctly, the first time Goto Ichiri played in the end band, the performance was a complete mess because he couldn't keep up with the ensemble at all.

He remembered that in the original work, Goto Ichiri hid in a cardboard box to play in order to avoid being seen, which ultimately caused the guitar sound to be completely out of sync with the drums and bass.

Two weeks have passed, and Goto Ichiri is now qualified to say that other people's guitar playing is not in sync with the ensemble... He has really grown a lot.

Kita Ikuyo didn't notice the strange look Qin Chuan gave Goto Ichiri. Hearing this, she sighed and nodded, saying:

"Yes, it sounds fine when I'm playing solo, but lately I've been having a hard time integrating the guitar into the band's music."

. ... .......

"Are you worried about something?"

Qin Chuan glanced at Kita Ikuyo. He had been a little suspicious when Kita Ikuyo said that there was a problem with her performance.

He remembered that in the original story, Kita Ikuyo didn't seem to encounter any problems. She learned the guitar smoothly from Goto Ichiri and was able to participate in performances normally afterward.

Upon hearing this, Kita Ikuyo looked up at Qin Chuan, then blushed and lowered her head without replying.

However, upon seeing this scene, Qin Chuan immediately realized something and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Is Kita Ikuyo still embarrassed because she overheard her conversation with Kato Megumi? Could that be why she's been so restless lately?

Surely not. In Qin Chuan's opinion, these days, which Japanese person isn't very knowledgeable in that area? Even if they've never had any contact with it in real life, they'll know something about it online.

Kita Ikuyo is a high school student, after all. She shouldn't be so restless for days just because she overheard someone eavesdropping, right?

This is because Qin Chuan has gotten used to doing that kind of thing recently, so he puts himself in others' shoes and thinks that others are not troubled by that kind of thing.

But for an innocent young girl, that kind of thing is indeed quite exciting—especially when the person doing it is her friend, and one of them is a boy she has a crush on.

Recently, Kita Ikuyo has even been dreaming about the Qin Chuan soil.

Chapter 345 Let's Clear Up Some Excessive Emotions

After lunch, Qin Chuan was called aside by Kita Ikuyo.

After everyone else left, only Qin Chuan and Kita Ikuyo remained in the classroom.

Seeing the bright red color on Kita Ikuyo's face, Qin Chuan roughly guessed what was going on—Kita Ikuyo probably wanted to clear out the excess emotions in her heart.

Kita Ikuyo really likes the band End. Although she initially joined End simply because she admired Yamada Ryo, her "senior," she has now genuinely come to love the band members.

Therefore, Kita Ikuyo certainly didn't want to hold the band back.

Although Kita Ikuyo kept saying "I don't know why" when talking to others, she actually knew perfectly well what was making her uneasy.

"Qin Chuan... judging from your expression, you probably know why I'm not feeling well, right?"

Kita Ikuyo looked at Qin Chuan nervously, but after seeing Qin Chuan's calm expression, she puffed out her cheeks and said, seemingly a little unhappy.

Qin Chuan clearly knew why he was nervous, yet he acted so calm and didn't say a word. He was really malicious.

“I just found out about this, too.”

Qin Chuan smiled and said—he wasn't lying.

Although he already knew, through his ability to sense "ki," that Kita Ikuyo had overheard his fight with Kato Megumi.

But he had only just found out that the incident had caused Kita Ikuyo so much trouble that even playing ensemble pieces had become difficult for her.

"Seriously, doing this kind of thing in the office... It's made me unable to sleep well for the past few days."

Kita Yuyo lightly stomped her foot, then ran and jumped into Qin Chuan's arms, hugging him tightly and burying her head in Qin Chuan's chest.

"You have to take responsibility. You can't resist whatever I do from now on."

Fortunately, Kita Ikuyo didn't go all the way to Kato Megumi's level.

Although Kita Ikuyo was unsettled by what Kato Megumi and Qin Chuan did, Kita Ikuyo was not as straightforward as Kato Megumi.

After holding Qin Chuan for a while, Kita Yu said, "This is not enough for me to vent my excess emotions," and then kissed Qin Chuan's lips.

Qin Chuan listened to Kita Ikuyo and did not resist at all. He simply responded to Kita Ikuyo's bites.

After a while, Kita Ikuyo was almost out of breath and finally gave up, her face flushed.

Without saying anything to Qin Chuan, Kita Ikuyo grabbed her guitar and fled from the clubroom.
