Although the two were still struggling, Qin Chuan's words, "If you don't obey, Illya will be punished," silenced them.

That sounds like something a villain would say—and perhaps in their hearts, Qin Chuan really is a villain.

"Guh, kill me..."

Seeing Qin Chuan bind Sera and Liselle's hands and feet in that bizarre method and place them in the living room, Shidou's face showed an expression of humiliation.

Although she has become a Servant, Illya's dominant ideology remains—and in Illya's eyes, Sera and Lyselite are the only two people she can currently trust.

Besides these, only her deceased mother, Irisviel, was worthy of her trust.

Having been captured by Qin Chuan, she felt that her fate was almost certainly death, so she preferred to die as a human rather than become the Lesser Grail.

"Honestly, you attacked without permission, and after I caught you, you made me kill you without your consent. Your standards are really high."

Qin Chuan squatted down, looked at Shido, who was lying on his side on the sofa, ignored the fact that he had trespassed on someone else's property, and said with a smile.

"But don't worry, I never came here to kill you. In fact, my relationship with you is quite special."

"……Eh?"

Zhi Du was stunned.

This guy stormed into the house, beat her two maids to the ground, then tied himself up, and afterwards said he actually had a rather special relationship with her?

Chapter 496 Qin Chuan: I am your father

"You say you're my father? Impossible!"

After listening to Qin Chuan's explanation of their general relationship, Zhi Du Nei indeed refuted him without hesitation.

In her heart, her only parent was Irisviel, her mother; her father and the like did not exist in her memory at all.

This position originally belonged to Kiritsugu Emiya, but in the Fate/Zero quest world that Qin Chuan entered, the relationship between Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel was more like a cooperative one.

Their relationship essentially stopped at a point where they were on the same page in terms of their ideals. Irisviel agreed with Kiritsugu Emiya's idea of ​​"justice," which is why she was willing to pretend to be Saber's Master.

In Shido's view, Emiya Kiritsugu was nothing more than a playmate who spent some time with her in Einzbern Castle—nothing more.

Her opinion of Kiritsugu Emiya worsened afterward because the Einzbern family instilled in her the idea that "Kiritsugu Emiya is more trouble than he's worth."

"It's normal that you don't understand. Simply put, your mother, Irisviel, and I are doing quite well in another world right now."

Qin Chuan sat on the sofa opposite Zhi Du, explaining the origin of their relationship with a smile.

"With this relationship, can't I at least be considered your father?"

"To be with Mom in another world...?"

Shido was stunned; she hadn't thought about this at all.

In her view, a person's soul should dissipate after death, unless they have accumulated great achievements in life like the heroic spirits, in which case they might be chosen by the power of the spirits after death and ascend to the Hall of Heroes.

She was well aware that her mother, Irisviel, was just an ordinary homunculus and shouldn't have any achievements that would have earned her a place in Valhalla.

What exactly is the other world that Qin Chuan spoke of...?

"Not only that, in that world I also summoned you from a parallel world as a Heroic Spirit."

Qin Chuan continued speaking to Shidone—although the Shidone before him was now a Servant, she was essentially just Ilya with a different name and identity.

Therefore, these words were undoubtedly very effective for Zhidu.

"She immediately called me 'Dad' on her own initiative."

Although Illya from the world of "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" only knew Qin Chuan's "father" from the common sense injected by the Holy Grail System, she accepted it very quickly.

Qin Chuan also talked about this with Irisviel. Irisviel's explanation was that Ilya probably lacked fatherly love since childhood, so she actually longed for a "father".

So after Qin Chuan filled the position of "father", Ilya accepted it almost immediately and quickly became close to Qin Chuan.

Since Illya in the world of "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" is like this, then Shido should also lack fatherly love here.

"A parallel world...?"

Zhi Du was stunned by Qin Chuan's words—to be honest, if it were a parallel world, then it could indeed explain these things.

The Einzbern family is, after all, a family of magicians, and Ilya had learned about the concept of parallel worlds through her studies—of course, mainly because the second magic was "Parallel World Interference".

Upon hearing Qin Chuan say that Irisviel was still alive in another world, Shido's heart subconsciously wanted to believe this statement.

After all, she really wanted Irisviel to live, but in this world, Irisviel had indeed become the Lesser Grail in the Fourth Holy Grail War and could never return.

So if Irisviel could live in a parallel world, she would naturally be willing to accept this outcome.

Moreover, she was also a little jealous of Ilya in that parallel world—why could Ilya live happily with her parents in the everyday world, while she had to suffer such treatment?

"Ilya! We can't just believe him like that!"

However, just as Zhidu was already leaning towards Qin Chuan's words, Sera, who was tied up to the side, suddenly shouted.

The dominant figure in Shido's thinking is Ilya. Having been educated in the Einzbern family since childhood, she still retains a childlike innocence, which is why she easily believes Qin Chuan's words.

However, as Ilya's homunculus maid, Sera received a much more complex education in order to better serve Ilya, and was at least not so naive.

Qin Chuan's words were too good to be true for Ilya... or rather, for Shidou at the moment; they were like a lie deliberately made up to deceive a child.

· ······.···· ········

Sera, of course, couldn't believe Qin Chuan's words so easily.

“I understand that you don’t trust me, but I’ve also thought about it. Maybe there’s a way to let you and Alice meet.”

Qin Chuan didn't care about Sera's suspicions. If it were him, he would also find it hard to believe the words of a complete stranger.

However, Qin Chuan wasn't just talking; he genuinely considered arranging for Shidone and Irisviel to meet.

As for the method of meeting... well, it will naturally be through "the king's military might".

He looked at Shidone, and to Sera and Liselle, his tone sounded like that of a creepy uncle trying to abduct a little girl:

"Sidone, if you acknowledge me as your master, then perhaps I can arrange for you to meet Alice... How about it? Want to give it a try? You shouldn't be in a Master-less state right now, right?"

.. ...... ....

Shido's state is actually similar to that of a pseudo-Servant. Although she was formed by attaching herself to the body of Illya, who could originally be her Master, she is actually a Servant without a master.

She could treat Qin Chuan as her master.

"Aren't you a Heroic Spirit? Can a Heroic Spirit become a Master?"

Sera, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but complain—she didn't quite understand why Qin Chuan wanted to become Shido's Master.

"Who said Servants can't be Masters? There's no such rule in the Holy Grail War."

Qin Chuan said with a smile, "In fact, there are still many loopholes in the rules of the Holy Grail War, which is why the Einzbern family tries to exploit these loopholes every year."

The Third Holy Grail War led them to create the evil of this world, and this Holy Grail War has produced a special Servant like Shido.

As for whether a Heroic Spirit can become a Master... we can find the answer in Medea from the original work. She summoned another Assassin in violation of the rules while serving as a Caster Servant.

Therefore, it would be perfectly fine for Qin Chuan to become Shidou's Master.

"I……"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Zhi Du Nei had to admit that she was tempted—she really wanted to see Irisviel.

However, if a contract is formed with Qin Chuan, making him the Master... it would mean that Qin Chuan would possess the Command Seals to control his actions.

Chapter 497 Mordred Wants to Be Eaten?

"What are you worried about?"

Qin Chuan looked at Shidou, who seemed to be considering whether to accept his suggestion, and shook his head helplessly.

"If I really wanted to kill you, I could have sent you back to Valhalla just now. Why would I need to say all this to you?"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Zhi Du was taken aback—indeed, Qin Chuan's strength far surpassed hers, and there was no need for such a fuss if they were really going to fight.

His cold aura and magical attacks had no effect on Qin Chuan, while Qin Chuan bound him with a single move, a stark contrast to Qin Chuan's.

Even Sera, who had been interrupting them, obediently shut her mouth—even she had to admit that if Qin Chuan really had any ill intentions towards them, he wouldn't have needed to say so much.

Looking at it this way, what Qin Chuan just said is probably quite true?

"297" He really lives an ordinary life with Irisviel in a parallel world, and it's even possible that he will bring Shidone there to meet Irisviel as well.

Sera and Lyselite are both maids who care about Ilya. In their eyes, Shidou is now Ilya, so if Shidou chooses to believe Qin Chuan, they will support her.

Zhi Du also noticed Sera and Liselle's expressions, pursed his lips, and then, as if finally making a decision, looked at Qin Chuan and said:

"I, I agree with..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Qin Chuan suddenly stood up from the sofa.

He seemed to sense something, turned to look out the window, then frowned slightly, interrupting Shido's unfinished sentence:

"Sorry, it seems my Master is having some trouble... Please tell me your answer next time."

After saying that, Qin Chuan waved his hand casually, and Zhidunai, Sera, and Liselit felt their hands and feet regain their freedom.

Qin Chuan removed the zippers from their bodies, freeing them—after all, if they were kept tied up, Zhidunai would be fine, but Sera and Lisellet would probably starve to death.

After granting them their freedom, Qin Chuan's figure vanished from the house in an instant, leaving only Shidone, Sera, and Liselle looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhi Du's face flushed red, his expression filled with indignation, and he severely criticized Qin Chuan's behavior of running away halfway through his sentence:

"What does that guy mean?! I was about to agree, and then he ran away?!"

Zhi Du was heartbroken. She had already prepared to see Irisviel, but Qin Chuan suddenly slipped away.

"Damn it!"

……

Qin Chuan's sudden departure was not an excuse, but rather a genuine feeling that something was wrong with Reines.

Qin Chuan originally left Reines a maid outfit as a substitute, which should have been enough for her to escape in most cases. However, if she encounters a Heroic Spirit with considerable strength who is determined to fight to the death, it can be quite troublesome.

Therefore, Qin Chuan also left "Blackbird Black Sabbath" with her, so that if a crisis really occurred, he could temporarily drag Reines into the shadows and hide her.

He had just sensed that "Blackbird - Black Sabbath" had been triggered, clearly indicating that Reines had encountered a battle she couldn't escape.

Because Reines's matter was rather urgent, Qin Chuan had to temporarily put Shido's side aside and discuss it another time.

After all, taking Shidone to meet Irisviel wasn't something that could be done in just a few minutes, and there was clearly no time to waste.

……6

"Damn it, where did that guy go?!"

At the entrance to Reines's house, the street had been cleaved open by sharp sword energy, even exposing the cables buried beneath.

Mordred stood on the shattered street, staring angrily at the empty space—she held a greatsword in her hand, the cracks in the ground clearly her doing. *Whoosh!*

She had just attacked Reines, but Reines reacted faster than she expected, managing to dodge several of her sword strikes.

Although his initial sword strikes weren't serious, Reines dodged them, and Mordred felt a bit embarrassed, so he launched a more serious attack from then on.

Reines, as expected, was overwhelmed and about to be struck directly by Mordred's sword—when Qin Chuan's "Blackbird: Black Sabbath," which he had left in Reines's shadow, emerged. 4.

It dragged Reines directly into the shadows, making her disappear completely from Mordred's sight. (Phosphorus)

"Alright, Saber! Stop it!" V

Behind Mordred, Rin Tohsaka stood there, looking at Mordred with anxious eyes and a helpless expression.

Although she did consider targeting Reines, she definitely wouldn't do it by directly attacking her—what if she ran into Qin Chuan head-on?

She didn't know what Mordred had lost her mind about—she had only explained some of the contestants' situations to her so that she wouldn't be completely clueless when facing the enemy.

However, upon hearing that Reines's Heroic Spirit was Qin Chuan, Mordred suddenly became extremely angry, and then dragged Rin Tohsaka out to cause trouble for Reines.

"Could it be that Qin Chuan and Mordred know each other? Is Qin Chuan from the time of King Arthur?"

Seeing Mordred's seemingly unstoppable antics, Rin Tohsaka rubbed her temples in annoyance.

She had no idea which myth or historical figure Qin Chuan was, but seeing Mordred's expression, she began to suspect that Qin Chuan was from the time of King Arthur.

Otherwise, how could Qin Chuan have made contact with Mordred and made Mordred so angry?

Just as Rin Tohsaka was thinking about how to persuade Mordred to come back, her worst fears came true.

A figure appeared in the middle of the street without warning, standing where Leni had just been.

In fact, if Mordred had focused his attention a little more and observed the surroundings carefully, he would have easily noticed that there was a black shadow left where Reines had disappeared.

That was the shadow left behind by "Blackbird Black Sabbath," and Reines was hiding in that shadow.
