Chapter 24: Food and Identity
(Xiao Ai found that after not writing for a long time, the writing was very jerky. There was no sense of smoothness like before, one chapter a day. It was the so-called beautiful inspiration... so the writing of this chapter was a bit awkward.
Okay, please just make do with it and take a look. Xiao Ai will slowly get back the feeling of coding.)
The moment Illya entered the living room, she saw clearly the girls who were having dinner. After pretending to be surprised, Illya cast an ambiguous smile on Emiya Shirou.
"Sister Ilia, you misunderstood! The current situation is definitely not what you think!"
Emiya Shirou could tell at a glance that Illya was definitely thinking wrongly. That ambiguous smile made people feel chilly.
Illya ignored Shirou Emiya and kept looking at Tohsaka Rin, Saber and Matou Sakura. This made the three of them uncomfortable. Except for Saber who could eat normally,
Matou Sakura dived straight into the kitchen, and it looked like things wouldn't happen again in a short time. Tohsaka Rin, on the other hand, put down the dishes and chopsticks after a few quick bites, and faced Illya without giving in.
Started watching.
"Well, let me introduce you..."
Emiya Shirou couldn't stand the sudden strange atmosphere, so he ran out to smooth things over.
"This is my, um... distant cousin, sister Ilia."
Hearing this, Illya slightly raised the hem of her dress with both hands and performed a standard noble meeting ceremony.
"Hello everyone! This is the first time we meet. I am Ilia. My profession is a magician."
After seeing Illya condensing words in the air with magic power, Saber and Tohsaka Rin immediately stood up and looked at Illya warily.
"Who are you?! As the manager of this land, I have never received a letter of visit from you, right? Now during the Holy Grail War, what is the purpose of an outside magician like you coming here...
And you came to find Emiya-kun after you found out that he became the master, right?!"
While Tohsaka Rin questioned Illya, Saber also pulled Emiya Shirou aside and protected her behind her. Matou Sakura watched everything that happened in the kitchen with some confusion.
"My purpose? It's really funny. I don't care about your precious Holy Grail!"
Ilia waved her hand and displayed a line of text in front of several people. After waiting for several people to read it, she waved her hand and the text changed.
"Also, I have been in this city for many days and have already visited everywhere. This is your negligence as a land manager! You actually didn't notice my existence like this. I didn't hide my whereabouts at all.
Woolen cloth!"
"You...what kind of nonsense are you talking about?! When you arrive on land managed by others, you not only don't come to visit, but you also put the responsibility on me?!"
Illya's sophistry made Tohsaka Rin's lungs explode with anger.
"By the way, let me remind you. I am not an outsider to the Holy Grail War."
A new line of text appeared, suppressing Tohsaka Rin's anger.
"Huh? Is it possible that Sister Illya is also a master?"
At this time, Emiya Shirou jumped out and looked at Illya in surprise.
"I, master, am and am not."
Illya left an ambiguous line of text. But this is indeed true. Illya is not the master, she is Illyasviel's st. But at the same time, Illya is the master. She passed the "Book of Pretenders"
Indirectly became R's master. Although Illya now handed over the "Book of Pretenders" to Matou Shinji, the "Book of Pretenders" actually took away part of the command power over R from Illya.
To put it simply, Matou Shinji's command authority is weaker than Illya's, and Illya's command authority is weaker than Matou Sakura's.
"What does it mean?"
Tohsaka Rin frowned.
"What do you mean, you will know later. But I am not your enemy now. I came here just to have a dinner."
After writing, Illya turned to look at Matou Sakura in the kitchen.
"Is my meal not ready yet?"
"Ah! Okay, it's done. Please wait a moment and I'll bring it to you."
Hearing this, Matou Sakura neatly put the dishes in the pot into a plate, carried them on a tray, and placed them on the table closest to Illya.
Ilia picked up the chopsticks, took a small taste of the dishes, and nodded with satisfaction. Then she sat down and enjoyed her dinner as if there was no one else around.
Saber had doubts about Illya's appearance since she came in. A sense of familiarity made Saber not choose to attack Illya.
"Who...are you? What is the relationship between you and a Christian hero named Illya Allen Stein Trenbell?!"
Saber opened her mouth to Illya, and she felt that Illya could definitely answer her question.
'Oh? Can Saber's "intuition" still be used in this kind of place? Let's hide it for now...'
Illya ate her food slowly and had no intention of answering Saber's question.
However, Saber didn't feel anything was wrong. Judging from the conversation just now, Saber knew that Illya couldn't speak. If she wanted to express herself, she had to stop eating with her hands. Saber did not hinder Illya.
The meaning of eating.
"Hey, hey! What's wrong with Saber, Emiya-kun? It seems like she has something to do with your sister... She has something to do with a heroic spirit. Who is your sister?"
Unable to talk about the two people watching and eating in silence, Tohsaka Rin quietly asked Emiya Shirou in a low voice.
"To be honest, I don't know either. The only thing I know is that Illya-san is an old acquaintance of Kiritsugu. Moreover, Illya-san is very strong. Although she is said to be a magician by profession, Illya-san has skills that can be used in fighting.
His skills can overwhelm the Death Apostles, his body is super strong..."
Emiya Shirou shook his head first, saying that he did not know what the relationship between Illya and Saber was. Then he told Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura, who stretched out their heads curiously, what he thought about Illya.
cognition.
"Using fighting skills? And beating down the Death Apostles? Are you talking about monsters? I have never heard of such a person in the Magic Association..."
There was a sound of "snack" and the sound of bowls and chopsticks being put down, interrupting Tohsaka Rin and the others from continuing their discussion.
"I'm full. Tea, thank you."
Illya patted the table and motioned for Matou Sakura to serve tea. When Matou Sakura went to get the tea cup to make tea, Illya waved her finger.
"Are you curious about my identity? It's very simple."
After writing the word "simple", Illya stopped waving her fingers, waiting for Saber to hit her.
"What's simple?"
As expected, Saber took the bait right away.
Seeing this, Illya took the teacup handed over by Matou Sakura, drank all the tea in one breath, and then stood up. After licking her fingers at Saber, she walked out on her own.
go.
"If you want to know my true identity, it's very simple. As long as you can defeat me."
After exiting the gate, Illya directly threw this question to Saber.
"Really? Then please forgive me for being rude. Although I don't know why I don't really want to fight you..."
Saber revealed his sword and armor, and the sword pointed directly at Illya.
Facing Saber's sword edge, Illya suddenly smiled strangely, stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky, and there was a loud snap of her fingers.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the sky. There, two white and silver cross epee swords followed Ilia's snap of fingers and spun down from the sky.
Two cross-epee swords were firmly held in the palms of the hands by two silver gauntlets. Where Ilia should have been standing, that frightening b appeared, replacing Ilia's original existence.
'It's actually b...'
'How come...sister Illya is...a heroic spirit?'
'Huh? Sister Illya is a heroic spirit... What does she want to do now?'
