My name is Illya,
I am setting up (xian) bureau (guang)
8405:12:01
About thirty kilometers straight west from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City, there is an east-west national highway. On both sides of this national highway is a dense forest. It is said that in the deepest part of this dense forest, there is a "mythical city" ".
According to people who have entered this place by mistake, the castle is made of pure white rocks and is very magnificent. No one lives in the castle. It is like an abandoned city. However, the facilities in the castle are complete and everything is in order. People can't help but feel that there is someone there. The illusion of living here.
At this time, it welcomes a master who has arrived here to participate in a desperate struggle called the Holy Grail War.
"Mom! It's so beautiful here!"
The silver-haired girl in a purple velvet dress cheered happily while running through the corridors of the castle.
"Illya, don't cause trouble to everyone."
This is a beautiful woman who is 90% similar to the running girl. She is wearing the same fluffy winter coat as her daughter. She also has silver hair and red eyes. At this time, she sees the maids suspending their tidying up to avoid her daughter. She is named The woman from Irisviel von Einzbern called out in slight distress.
"It's okay to let her run away," someone said in a calm voice beside him. When Irisviel turned around with disapproval, he added: "Not only Illya, even you have never done anything. Go far away."
"Well, that's true." The silver-haired woman thought for a moment and nodded.
The man next to her with a somewhat stern look on his face and eyebrows is called Emiya Kiritsugu. He is Irisviel's husband. They used to live together in the Einzbern family.
Irisviel was unable to go out at will due to various reasons, although Emiya Kiritsugu often brought her some outside movies and photos to watch, and told her many stories about the outside world, such as New York, Paris and other international cities, as well as many People live different lives, but this is the first time she has truly left that castle in Germany and seen it with her own eyes.
As for the reason for coming to Fuyuki one year before the start of the Holy Grail War...
"You can feel it, Airi." Standing in the main entrance hall, Emiya Kiritsugu observed the castle with sharp eyes.
"Ah, yes, there are no signs of damage at all." Irisviel made the same judgment after looking around.
As a specially set up annex of the Einzbern family, this castle is shrouded in multiple layers of illusions and magic barriers. Except for extremely occasional circumstances, it will never be exposed. Even if someone accidentally enters, it will be very dangerous. Quickly leave on your own under the omnipresent magic of suggestion.
But now, someone has entered without triggering any warning or defensive barriers, and more than once.
Eubustaku Hayd von Einzbern, the old man who is the head of the Einzbern family, believes that this is the work of a magician who is scheduled to participate in the upcoming Holy Grail War, and his purpose is to destroy this place. Destroy the magic workshop that has been prepared or place traps in it.
Therefore, Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel were ordered to rush to Fuyuki in advance to repair and protect it. It was completely different whether a magic workshop had an owner or not.
Thanks to Kiritsugu's efforts, they were allowed to bring their daughter Ilyasviel von Einzbern to experience the atmosphere of the "Holy Grail War", but it must be done three months or more before the official start of the war. The heroic spirit returns her when summoned.
Although he is like the clan leader, he is actually unwilling to separate from his daughter too early. Unlike his appearance, Kiritsugu is actually a very gentle person, Irisviel thought.
"Since the other party can completely avoid alarm and protection magic, and is only accidentally discovered when the spiritual veins are disturbed, I guess even if you use the magic of 'scene reproduction', you will not be able to see the appearance of the visitor," Emiya Kiritsugu pondered slightly. , walked towards the stairs of the castle: "But the other party must not have guessed that the 'one' I placed here is there."
Irisviel knew "that", which was a product of "technology" that was completely different from "mysteries" such as magic and alchemy.
When Kiritsugu came to Fuyuki two years ago to conduct secret reconnaissance, the cameras and recording devices placed throughout the castle were activated in a series of different ways such as magic traps, infrared detection, weight sensing, and sound feedback, so unless The intruder had achieved complete invisibility, otherwise he would have been discovered and recorded.
Although Kiritsugu's behavior is said to be completely without the pride of a magician, from the perspective of the Einzbern family, which specializes in alchemy, products of both mystery and science are tools that people can control and use them effectively. As long as he achieves his goal, even though he has the reputation of a magician killer, the great grandfather is still willing to let him marry him.
However, even though he clearly regarded magic as a tool, he was still very angry at the way he was treated as a "magic tool" when they first met. Even because of this... Irisviel held her slightly hot face and refused. Keep thinking.
Although Emiya Kiritsugu noticed his wife's strange behavior, he had more important things to do now and ignored it.
At this time, the two of them were in a secret room in the Einzbern annex. More than a dozen surveillance pictures were showing maids cleaning up everywhere. Illya's lively figure appeared in some pictures from time to time. However, Emiya Kiritsugu began to remove and play back the footage one by one that had been recorded when the castle was "supposed" to be empty.
Zizzi——The saved content soon appeared on a surveillance screen.
"Hmm, are you still aware of it? Some kind of magic that disrupts vision was used..."
Although the device used by Kiritsugu was very advanced and the scene displayed was relatively clear, the figure was blurry and it could only be initially judged that it was
A young woman with dark clothes and long light hair. Judging from the date in the corner of the picture, it was about a year ago.
She pushed open the door like no one was watching, which startled Irisviel, who knew how many magic triggers there were, but nothing happened.
Then the woman began to visit the interior of the annex as if no one else was there - and indeed - she walked around briefly before opening the door and leaving without triggering any alarms or traps.
"I have to admit that she is very accomplished in magic. She can use magic to protect herself at any time without deliberately being vigilant." Emiya Kiritsugu analyzed calmly, but Irisviel vaguely felt that there was something wrong in the picture. The woman seemed dissatisfied with the facilities here.
The video will stop when there is no trigger condition, so the next moment is still the scene of her opening the door and coming in. The difference from last time is that she looks very hard carrying the big bags. Kiritsugu is about to analyze the contents of those bags. Some magic supplies, one of the bags broke open and spilled the contents all over the floor.
"Are those melon seeds, peanuts and potato chips?" Irisviel couldn't help but laugh when she saw the girl stunned for a moment, and then looking dejectedly to find utensils and start cleaning.
"Suddenly I felt that it was a mistake for us to come to Fuyuki so solemnly." Emiya Kiritsugu pinched his forehead and sighed: "Although she is very powerful, she is probably the eldest sister of a certain magic family who is out for fun."
"She's a good child." From the video playing, you can see that the girl has settled in a room in the castle. She seems to be playing nearby. Some cameras in the forest can sometimes capture her from different places. When he stayed in the castle room, he either read books or practiced magic, often cleaned the room, and occasionally went out to buy a lot of things like he did at the beginning.
"We have to teach Illya not to occupy other people's empty houses when traveling in the future." Kiritsugu no longer paid much attention to the scene on the screen. After all, although there was no surveillance in a sensitive location, he was still a young man. Girls daily activities.
"If that child comes here again, you are not allowed to hurt her." Irisviel looked at Emiya Kiritsugu and said.
"This kind of intrusion into other magicians' studios must--" Kiritsugu said mid-sentence, looking at his wife's eyes staring at him, and raised his hands in surrender: "--it can be forgiven, it can be forgiven."
The last video showed a time of three years ago, and it kept showing the scene facing the door of the girl's room. It was a bit strange for a long time. This proved that the girl seemed to be using magic in the room, but because there was no surveillance in the room, there was only one at the door. The cameras are always running.
Click, click, click—Illya quickly ran past the door. Next to the screen used for recording, there was another screen showing the live scene.
Ilia, who was passing by, seemed to have discovered something. She slowly walked back to the door and reached out to open the door.
At the same time, the door in the three previous scenes opened at the same speed.
"This..." Emiya Kiritsugu sat up straight suddenly, and Irisviel's eyes widened.
There was no one inside the door that Ilya opened. When the girl in front of her opened the door and walked out, there was no one outside.
However,
The unknown girl turned around and raised her hand, touching Illya's hair, and Illya narrowed her eyes in contentment.
"Illya!" Irisviel couldn't continue looking. She stood up and rushed out of the secret room, and soon found her daughter who was still poking her head into the room.
"Mom?" Illya, who was suddenly hugged by Irisviel, blinked inexplicably, and then said, "Illya just felt that there was a sister inside, but she didn't find her after opening the door."
Emiya Kiritsugu was still in the secret room staring at the surveillance screen in a daze.
What happened to the girl in front of him first, bypassed Illya's position in the back and walked towards the door, while Illya tilted her head and looked at the direction of the girl's departure in confusion.
Then, in the scene three years ago in another video, the girl suddenly dodged something while walking out of the gate, but in the real scene, at that position, there was Irisviel flying past.
"Is this time magic...no, the fifth method?"
