"You've finally arrived. I thought you were going to run away."

When Qin Chuan arrived at the living room of the house where Ilya was staying, he saw Shido, who had been waiting for a long time, sitting on the sofa.

She seemed to have regained control of her emotions by now—after all, Qin Chuan had promised her that she could see Irisviel, which had become a new hope in her heart.

The reason why Shidone went berserk in Einzbern was mainly because she couldn't see the future and was confused about her own existence, which led her to do such exaggerated things due to mental confusion.

In the original work, Illya at least had a goal—to kill Shirou Emiya, Kiritsugu Emiya's adopted son.

In this timeline, because Kiritsugu Emiya died early and had no adopted son, Illya in Shidou has no goals left.

Having no attachment to this world, she now regarded Qin Chuan's words as her only way out.

"Ilya finished her rest early so that you could fulfill your promise, and she has been waiting here for you."

Sera, the maid standing next to Shidone, chimed in—she still seemed to harbor some doubts about Qin Chuan, but because of Shidone's request, she refrained from speaking rudely to him.

Although she has now become a Servant, Shido's body is still based on Illya's own body—because of the characteristics of the Lesser Grail, her body needs to rest for 12 hours every day.

So Shido slept soundly for 12 hours during the day today, just to be in top condition to meet Qin Chuan tonight.

On Illya's other side, another maid, Lyselite, was also on high alert—she and Illya were homing humans from the same origin, and she also hibernated for 12 hours during the day to maintain her optimal condition.

However, unlike Serana's almost omnipotent maid abilities, Liselle is actually quite bad at maid work; her main job is fighting.

Of course, she now knows very well that even Shidone is no match for Qin Chuan, and she, as an artificial maid, is obviously no match for Qin Chuan either, so she seems to be giving up a bit right now.

"It seems you can't wait any longer."

Seeing Shido sitting on the sofa, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

Despite his seemingly calm demeanor, Qin Chuan noticed that Shido's fingers were trembling nervously.

Although she tried hard to remain calm, some subtle movements revealed just how unsettled she was inside.

“Since you all believe me, why don’t you call me ‘Dad’ first? After all, you’ll have to call me ‘Dad’ sooner or later when you get there.”

"You guy...!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's teasing, Zhi Du's face flushed red, and he glared at Qin Chuan with some annoyance, seemingly quite annoyed that Qin Chuan was using such remarks to provoke him.

However, Qin Chuan is not wrong. If Qin Chuan really had that kind of relationship with Irisviel in another world... then logically, he should really call him Dad.

So, although Shidou hesitated for a moment, she still blushed and whispered to Qin Chuan the name she had never used before:

"Dad... Dad."

"very good."

Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Since Zhi Du Nei could say "Dad" for the first time, he would naturally say it a second and a third time, and eventually fully accept the title.

Although in terms of biological age, Shido's age is similar to Qin Chuan's, almost the same age... but Shido's appearance is indeed that of a loli.

However, before bringing Zhidu into the real world, Qin Chuan didn't forget another important thing:

"Before that, there's a question I need to ask you... If I take you away, will the Lesser Grail cease to exist in this world?"

The Lesser Grail is a very important part of the Holy Grail War process.

Before the Greater Grail descends, the souls of the defeated Heroic Spirits enter the Lesser Grail. Once five Heroic Spirit souls are collected, the Lesser Grail is officially activated and becomes a ritual object.

The Lesser Grail of this world is now Shidon—or rather, Shidon's body originally named "Illyasviel von Einzbern".

If I were to take Shido out of this world, causing this world to lose the existence of the "Lesser Grail," then the souls of the Heroic Spirits would have nowhere to go after death.

Without the Minor Grail as a medium, the Major Grail will not be activated, and the Holy Grail War becomes an impossible ritual.

"That's true... but it doesn't matter, does it? It's just the Holy Grail. Do you really need the Holy Grail to make a wish?"

Shido looked at Qin Chuan with some doubt—if she left this world, then there would indeed be no other Lesser Grails in this world.

But she didn't think it was a problem. With Qin Chuan's strength, what couldn't he do? Did he need the Holy Grail's magic to fulfill his wishes?

Or is Qin Chuan very interested in the third law?

"That's still quite troublesome. I still need the Holy Grail from this Holy Grail War..."

Qin Chuan gave an awkward smile—who could blame him when the main quest required obtaining the Holy Grail in the Fifth Holy Grail War?

Although he doesn't really need the Holy Grail right now, he's still quite interested in the extra rewards he might get through the system after completing the main quest.

There are still some useful things in the Type-Moon universe, and he still wants to gamble on whether he can extract those things.

"Among the documents brought out from the Einzbern family, there is a method for making a new vessel for the Lesser Grail."

Upon hearing this, Sera, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up.

"If needed, we can use the methods inside to create a new miniature Holy Grail."

The process of creating the vessel for the Lesser Grail is not actually complicated, and it does not necessarily require androids—the Lesser Grails in the first three Holy Grail Wars were inorganic objects with the power of relics.

In the original work, Zouken Matou also used a fragment of the Holy Grail to create his own "Machiri Grail," which also possesses the functions of a Lesser Grail.

It is clear that this thing does not actually have any exaggerated technological barriers.

"Is that so...that works too."

Qin Chuan thought for a moment—although he didn't know much about magic, Reines did.

If we get Reines' help, and use the Einzbern family's information to create a new miniature Grail vessel, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Then, I'll go and get the magic data that the Einzbern family brought out."

Seeing that Qin Chuan seemed to have accepted the proposal, Sera breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Qin Chuan.

"Please take good care of Ilya from now on and don't let her suffer any injustice..."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan looked at Sera with some confusion—it sounded like she was making arrangements for her final affairs, which puzzled him.

"What? Aren't you coming with us to leave here?"

"Eh?"

Sera was stunned when she heard Qin Chuan's words.

"Can we leave together?"

Chapter 520 The Doubts of Heroic Spirit Emiya

Clearly, Sera thought Qin Chuan would only take Zhidunai away from this world, while she and Lisellete would stay in this world.

Her misunderstanding stems from the fact that "parallel world interference" is the second method, a realm of "magic" that countless magicians dream of.

Even the Gemstone Master who mastered the second magic, "Parallel World Interference," the mage named Kishua Zelrich Schbein Augu, could only travel between parallel worlds on his own.

I haven't heard of a second magic that can take people to other parallel worlds.

In Sera's eyes, Qin Chuan's ability to take Zhidun away was already a remarkable feat, so she naturally dared not hope that Qin Chuan could also take her and Liselle along with him.

"If we're going to leave, we should leave together. Why stay in this world and let it rot?"

Qin Chuan was naturally unaware that his words were being interpreted as related to the Second Law, and he looked at Sera with some annoyance.

"Aren't all the Einzberns in this world dead? What can you two possibly do here?"

Qin Chuan's words immediately brightened Sera's expression, and even Liselle, who had been silent until now, softened her expression.

Clearly, they initially thought they might never see Shidone again after today—but Qin Chuan's words reassured them.

Even when Sera went to retrieve the Einzbern family's documents, her steps seemed much more cheerful.

……

"...There's a lot more data than I expected."

Qin Chuan looked at the huge pile of documents that Sera had brought out, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He originally thought that the information Sera and Lizzie brought out might just be some books or the like, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

The majority of these Einzbern family documents are indeed books, but in addition to books, there are also many papers recording experiments on artificial humans, objects that appear to be relics, and other similar items. ⑥

Books and miscellaneous items of all sizes quickly filled almost half the living room as Sera busied herself moving them out.

That makes sense. The Einzbern family has been around for so long, so naturally they have accumulated a great deal of information. This information might not even be all of the Einzbern family's records. (2)

"I wonder if Reines can find a way to make the Lesser Grail from all this stuff."

Qin Chuan reached out and collected the large pile of documents in the living room into the "King's Treasure"—he was going to take these to Reines to see next.

He didn't expect Reines to be able to deduce the method for creating the Lesser Grail from these materials today... Anyway, there were still several days left, so he let Reines try her best.

After putting away the Einzbern family's documents, Qin Chuan looked at Shidone and said to her: Hiss

"I have some things to do next... Please wait a little longer, I'll be back to pick you up in a few hours at most."

"Is there anything you need to do? Do you need my help?"

Seeing Qin Chuan about to leave again, Shidou panicked slightly. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Qin Chuan's sleeve, and asked...

On one hand, she was a little worried that with Qin Chuan gone, they might lose contact again—after all, since Qin Chuan left yesterday, Zhi Du had been worried that he would never return.

On the other hand, Shido also wanted to demonstrate her value to Qin Chuan—although her strength was inferior to Qin Chuan's, she was still a Heroic Spirit and could certainly be of use.

"There's no need for that; we're just going to capture a Heroic Spirit." — Jun

Qin Chuan smiled and ruffled Shidou's hair, just like he would ruffle Ilya's hair in the real world. (Sheep)

Compared to Illya's soft and warm hair, Shido's hair felt a bit cold—this is probably related to her origins as a Heroic Spirit.

Zhi Du Nei didn't resist when Qin Chuan rubbed her head; her face just turned slightly red, as if she had gradually accepted Qin Chuan's affectionate gesture.

However, Qin Chuan probably didn't realize that although Shidone and Ilya were the same person from a parallel world, their ages were completely different.

Even though Shidone has always lived in the secluded city of Einzbern, and thus retains a somewhat naive personality, the fact that she has several more years of life experience than Ilya is undeniable.

Qin Chuan might treat Shido as a daughter, but he didn't know if Shido felt the same way as Ilya.

……

"Cough...cough cough!"

In the basement of the Matou family's house, Shinji Matou coughed violently, spitting out blood continuously.

Although he looked extremely miserable, Shinji Matou's gaunt face showed no signs of fatigue; instead, it exuded a strange sense of vitality.

That was the "feedback" brought about by the magic power that burst forth after the Mark Worm devoured his life force, making him seem more energetic.

But in reality, this kind of spirit is just like a last burst of energy before death; in the end, it is nothing more than a continuous loss of vitality until the vitality is completely exhausted.

· ······.···· ········

"Master, this can't go on."

Behind Shinji Matou, the Archer he had summoned frowned as he looked at the horrific scene and couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"Let's conserve some of my life force. I am Archer, and I possess the class ability of 'acting alone.' Even if my mana supply is reduced, I will not disappear."

This Archer has short white hair, dark skin, wears a black bodysuit, and has red strips of cloth wrapped around his arms.

It was the Heroic Spirit Emiya that Qin Chuan had previously guessed.

At this moment, the Heroic Spirit Emiya was also very puzzled—the development of this world seemed to be completely different from what he knew.

... 0th

Not to mention that she was summoned by Matou Shinji, Matou Shinji has inexplicably turned into this inhuman and ghostly appearance.

Even Matou Sakura, who should have been at the Matou family's residence, seems to have disappeared without a trace, and no one knows where she has gone.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya also tentatively inquired about Matou Shinji's family situation, only to find that Matou Shinji seemed to have no idea who Matou Sakura was.

Under persistent questioning, Shinji Matou seemed to recall that Zouken Matou had adopted a little girl ten years ago, but the little girl was abducted not long after she came to live with the Matou family.

Even Zouken Matou died during that time, leading to the Matou family's current state of decline.

Upon hearing Shinji Matou's description, the Heroic Spirit Emiya guessed that something significant must have happened in this world line... but he was still completely clueless about the exact point of change.

For now, he can only follow Matou Shinji and see if he can learn about the differences between the history of this world and what he already knows during the upcoming intelligence gathering.

Although the Heroic Spirit Emiya is also "Emiya Shirou", he did not have any romantic relationships with the girls like the Emiya Shirou in the original work.

Instead, he blindly pursued the ideal of being a "partner of justice" until the end, becoming a "guardian" of the restraining force.

Even so, he still considered those he had met as friends—so he was somewhat worried about their current situation.

"Hopefully, things won't change too badly... It's impossible for everyone to end up as miserable as Shinji."
