My name is Illya,
I am now...the Holy Grail.

Tohsaka Tokiomi returned to his original form.
When he thought of the ridiculous things he did as a teenager after drinking Gilgamesh's "rejuvenation potion", he wanted to mess up his hair in a completely inelegant way.
But there is good news. There are so many people in abnormal conditions that no one cares about him anymore.
The first is Caster. Tokiomi, as one of the three members of the Royal family who knew the inside story of the Holy Grail War, had no idea that the Holy Grail could be used by a servant. However, this servant from the future was flying in the banquet hall in the posture of the Holy Grail. Fly away.
Well, the banquet was held in a mansion left by one of the participants in the Third Holy Grail War, the Edelfeld sisters, to celebrate the successful end of the Holy Grail War. The service staff were alchemy dolls and gem golems.
Although strictly speaking, the owner of this mansion and the magic wards surrounding it is Tokiomi's mother or aunt, but it was inherited by them due to the sincere love between Kenneth and Sora. The question of ownership can wait until later. Discuss further.
Secondly, there is the disciple of his who inexplicably became the "Messenger", Kotomine Kirei. Compared to the completely transformed Caster, he only stretched out a pair of snow-white wings, which is acceptable in comparison - how strange!
Why did he become a higher-ranking being in the church when he was clearly coaching him in the same way as a magician? During the previous phone call, Kotomine Rimasa also revealed that the church was planning to send more manpower to this "holy place". Will he welcome them then?
Finally, there is the "ubiquitous" Emil of Assassin. Tokiomi glances at the hall and can see at least five Emils. The one following Rider, the one grabbing Kirei's hem, and the one chasing the flying Holy Grail are at the dining table. Confused about what to eat and what to do while staring at the wall in a daze.
In terms of reasons, she seemed to have burned out her spiritual energy during the final battle to summon Hassan, the first person in history, and easily killed the evil god. However, she did not disappear as a result. Instead, those incarnations with minds and titles were unaware of the reason. Why doesn't it appear anymore? Now all her incarnations have the same appearance as Emil... and so does her intelligence.
Compared to those truly strange beings, since I am just wearing a piece of jeweled armor, it shouldn't be that important... right?

"Rider, no, conquer Mr. Wang."
Weber held a glass of juice and tried to talk to Iskandar who was eating and drinking.
Because Rider likes to stay physical, he has been eating a lot to replenish his magic power during the war. He ate all the slightly larger restaurants and restaurants in the new city and the old city. Fortunately, after forming an alliance with Mr. Kenneth, he didn’t have to fight for it. Worry about money, otherwise...
"Huh? What's the matter, ghost?" Iskandar took a napkin and wiped his mouth, turned to Weber and asked.
"Caster is ready to accept everyone's wishes after the dinner. Has your wish not changed yet?" Weber looked at Iskandar's huge figure, which was taller than him even when he was sitting. "Get a physical body in this world?"
"No, it's about conquering the world! Hahaha!" Iskandar patted Weber on the back and staggered: "Obtaining a physical body is only the first step!"
This is what he is afraid of. Weber secretly cursed that this world is not as simple as it was in history. Although it is dominated by technology, there are still huge things under the water such as the Magician Association, the Templar Church, Dead Apostles, Phantom Beasts, Demons, etc. power, Iskandar wants to conquer the world, and I am afraid that as soon as he has taken the first step, the Magicians Association will send an executor to "seal and designate" him.
"If you want to conquer the world, you must first understand it, right?" Weber racked his brains and tried to convince Iskandar: "Relying on the common sense instilled by the Holy Grail is definitely not enough."
"Well...that's true." Rider nodded his big head in agreement.
"So, after you obtain a physical body and stay in this world, why don't Teacher Kenneth and I go back to the Clock Tower to study for a while to learn more about the world?" Weber said in one breath: "If a powerful person appears inexplicably, It can easily arouse the vigilance of other forces and is not conducive to subsequent actions."
As for the identity issue, it is completely unimportant. You can just make up a random name, such as Alex, or Clock Tower. Even Teacher Kenneth can turn it into the real name in the file.
"Hmm...it's worth considering." Rider rubbed his chin and thought.
10:28:52
Emiya Kiritsugu was still a little uncomfortable with the fact that Caster suddenly changed from the Winter Saint to his own daughter.
After all, her performance has always been perfect, which makes people think that "the Winter Maiden should be like this", so it is natural even if she is concealed. As for the fact that she was exposed just after meeting Irisviel, it can only be It comes down to a mother-daughter bond.
Every time she came to rescue him, she would crush Hassan's head. There was no doubt that it was a deliberate intimidation because she was dissatisfied with herself.
Before this war began, Kiritsugu was already prepared to sacrifice his wife - as the "Holy Grail Vessel", Irisviel will definitely turn into an unconscious Holy Grail in the end to fulfill the wishes of the victor.
"Caster, when can I make a wish?"
"After the dinner, after all, it's troublesome to fulfill more than a dozen wishes at once. If everyone's wishes conflict, I have to coordinate."
Hmm... unconscious... Listening to the conversation between the two after Illya in Holy Grail form was stopped by Lin Hao, Kiritsugu's eyes twitched.
However, this is a good thing. Kiritsugu silently lit a cigarette. His wife, who was bound to be sacrificed in the plan, could survive, and the daughter who is still in Germany will not become this caster in the future because the Holy Grail War is completely over, so it is equivalent to just Just sacrificing a stranger——
Click, the cigarette at Kiritsugu's mouth was blown into a cloud of ice mist by two ice picks that suddenly flew towards him. Looking up, he saw the Golden Holy Grail slowly turning back. Through the cloud of ice mist, he seemed to see something A girl with silver hair and red eyes raised her fingers and snapped at him before turning around briskly, her silver hair flying: You are not allowed to smoke in front of children - she said.
"Hmm." Kiritsugu felt his heart suddenly throbbing, and subconsciously reached out to hold it down.
"You are really slow, Kiritsugu." Irisviel came from behind Kiritsugu and stood side by side with him silently. After watching the Holy Grail, or Illya in the form of the Holy Grail, fly away, she slowly said: " Only now do you admit that that is not some strange heroic spirit, but your biological daughter?"
"I..." Kiritsugu seemed to be planning something, but was interrupted by his wife.
"I want to make a wish for her to stay," Irisviel said in a low tone: "Although I don't know what Illya went through after our defeat, but now we are barely considered the victors, and of course we must compensate her as much as possible. , can’t she create a realistic body for Rider? Then there should be no problem letting herself stay.”
No, it's very problematic. Caster wants to create a body for Rider on the premise that she will leave. After all, she has only absorbed six souls now. Ordinary wishes will never be able to realize the wishes of all the participants at the same time, so she will definitely It takes the soul to reach seven and open the way to the source to achieve so many miracles.
Rider's soul must remain in this world and cannot be used. Assassin seems to have her own wish, leaving only Caster. Her wish to "make sure that no Master dies in the Fourth Holy Grail War" has been perfectly fulfilled, and she is still going to the next one. It was completely impossible to stay in a place where "many magicians died needlessly" to continue saving others, and Irisviel was too worried to think through this for the time being.
For now...it's better not to tell her. Turning at an angle so that the Holy Grail could not be seen, Kiritsugu lit a cigarette again.
10:20:23
After the banquet participants gradually adapted to the strange atmosphere, representatives from the Royal Family and the Clock Tower began to discuss mutual cooperation - mainly Irisviel and Sora.
Due to the conflicts between the men when fighting each other, although they fought side by side once and there was no reason to be hostile, they still didn't like each other, so they began to review the specific circumstances of each battle in this war. Using the strategy of ridiculing others, it turned out that Caster had made moves at many key nodes.
It is very simple to deduce actions from the results. Even if she did something covertly, but everyone present is convinced that she did not do it, there is no doubt that it is what she did, and she appeared a year in advance. You can't hide it anymore.
All of Illya's plans and actions are to guide the direction of the war to the current result - no master died.
The goal of retaining the heroic spirits was wrong. It seemed that she originally planned to let Saber stay until the end, but the appearance of two additional heroic spirits disrupted the plan, which made the war end like this.
This proves that from the history she knows, the Fourth Holy Grail War consisted of seven normal Servants and Masters, while the original caster was an unstable factor that would seriously hinder her plan to "not let anyone die" , so it was excluded for the first time.
Illya, who was in the original Holy Grail form, was still listening with interest, but as her actions were gradually analyzed, everyone looked at her more and more strangely, and finally she couldn't stand it anymore and flew away.
"Hey, Ryunosuke." The glittering Holy Grail flew to the balcony of the mansion and found Ryunosuke Ubui who had not participated in the discussion. He was looking thoughtfully at the lake in front of the mansion, so he floated Go over and say hello: "Have you thought about your wishes?"
"I think," Ryunosuke raised his head and looked at the Holy Grail transformed by Caster, his eyes seemed to look through it into the distance: "I want to leave with you."
"Oh, it turns out to be - eh!?" Illya was so frightened that she transformed from the shining golden cup back to her original form as a girl with silver hair and red eyes.
