Time is never a patient thing, it is like flowing water, flowing through your fingers, you can't grasp anything, all you will leave is that cold touch, for which the only thing you can do as a human being is a meaningless sigh.

It's been two years since that end, and after that, the girl who was the most suitable for black in her memory, but who always had the impression of pure white in her mind, didn't hear from her, just like the ten years that had passed, just leaving a void for people to recall......

Although the black-haired girl has been seen countless times maintaining the posture of the past when she is alone, almost perfect, and extremely elegant, the young man understands that she is always missing, nostalgic for the owner of the hairband that she always wears by her side......

It is impossible to know why this situation occurred at that time, and no one knows what kind of arrangement the delicate, pitiful girl sat down, nor can he understand, and he cannot and is not qualified to comment on right and wrong, as if the wish he has in his own heart, he can never say that it is right, but it is certain that it has nothing to do with wrong.

Every time I close my eyes, I can always see the fire of the sword and gun colliding in a trance, and I can't help but recall the sound of gold and iron, but I also have the illusion that I am holding something between my hands, and I often still immerse myself in dreams, looking at the naïve but deep hope in my heart.

recalled the end of the hero he had seen, the only isolated sword mound left, the lonely back wrapped in the holy corpse, and the painful pain of ten thousand swords......

However, it has never wavered, even if it is inexplicably sad every time I see that scene, it will not waver, on the contrary, it will only make the already vague words clearer......

Obviously, the glorious face that he had seen before was blurry, but the last words of that person were only getting clearer and clearer day by day, as if he was standing at his side.

The man said, "Then prove it to me, prove to me that you are right, your ......."

- "Justice is the right ......"

……

“……”

Stretched out his hand in front of him, after his pupils adjusted to the light at the moment and alternated between blurry and clear, he also saw clearly that it was an illusion as before, and there was no black and white double sword that he had received, but he also understood more and more that what he was holding was more firm than the day before......

"Oops~ It's going to be so long later than us, this is really a rare situation, Shirou~ So, don't stay there, go about your daily work, maybe in that case, we can turn a blind eye to your laziness~"

Opened the door of the living room, but what I saw was the eldest lady who was already dressed neatly, and it could be seen from that spirit and elegant posture that she should have been awake for a long time, after all, she was a person with some serious low blood pressure, and glanced at the clock hanging on it, Shirou was a little strange.

Even if I woke up a little later than usual, it wasn't so late, but it was like, this girl got up early......

"It's really a little special, I had a little dream last night, and after waking up, I couldn't sleep......

"I also had a dream, a dream that was a little bit engaged, and then accidentally overslept......"

When Shirou looked at the girl in red clothes, she spoke first, lowered her head slightly, looked at the red hairband in her white hand, and showed a rare gentle smile, which was enough to make the young man lose his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but respond to such a sentence......

"Really? If you say this, it should be a dream that I like very much, and it is because of my liking and longing that I want to go further on the road in my dream, but isn't this waking up, Shirou, at some times, you are really strong to the point of distortion~"

What is surprising is that Rin, who was expected to shout "don't say anything stupid", said such words full of consciousness, which made Shirou wonder if something good happened today to make this eldest lady show such a gesture, but what he saw was the loss between his eyebrows......

"Rin ......"

"Ahh Shirou! Hurry up and make breakfast! Let's eat it today! ”

There was a slight amount of color flashing in the slightly narrowed emerald eyes, which made people understand, but they seemed to know nothing, but when Shirou tried to call out the girl's name, she also immediately reacted to the current situation, and as usual, ordered Shirou in a voice that was not polite at all.

"Wow~"

"Huh? Do you want to eat a he-style huhu for breakfast today~? ”

As if echoing the girl's words, the door was opened again, and it was another girl who had not yet woken up into the living room, yawning as she continued with Rin's words, the confused look of her squinting eyes made people worry about whether she would stumble and fall to the ground the next moment.

The silver hair was scattered like that, a few of them were knocked up, but it added a bit of cuteness, the light pink pajamas were a little messy, and the loose neckline exposed most of the white and tender shoulders, and when he raised his hand to stretch his waist, he lifted the pajamas up, revealing a smooth lower abdomen that could be held with two palms, as if he was an ice and snow spirit indulging in spring.

"Illya, as the eldest lady of the Emiya family, can't you be a little more careful? If it's seen by other people, it'll be ruined! You're the student council president of me and Issei as my successor! ”

"What~Rin~ It's just this little thing, and it's not difficult at all~ And, speaking of which, haven't you always insisted that magicians should put aside these meaningless chores?"

"I'm just worried that you're messing around on our Tosaka family's territory!"

"Tsk! It's not cute at all! Woo~ I'm hungry~ Shirou Shirou~ Hurry up and make breakfast for my sister! The taste should be a little sweeter~"

"Tsk! I like to eat sweets so much, and I'm really a child! ”

"Do you hear that, Shirou, Rin wants to eat spicy! The spicy kind! ”

"Bastard Illya! I've never said anything like that! Shirou, if you really dare to do this, I'll let you see my Tosaka family's house rules for cooks! ”

……

I saw that Illya, who hadn't woken up at all, was lying directly on the table, and the upper body of the whole person maintained a posture of raising her hands, as if she was going to sleep again, and at the same time, the two people who were full of energy on the side were having a meaningless conversation as usual.

"Okay~ I know~ Then I'll go cook~ You have to wait well, but don't wait until a while and even the table is overturned~"

"Shirou! What kind of person are you and me! The people of the Tosaka family would not do such a rude thing! ”

"Shirou! Don't question your sister's cultivation! ”

"Okay~Got it~"

As he answered, Shirou walked to the kitchen and smiled very naturally, but when he picked up the kitchen knife, he felt that there seemed to be something missing more than usual......

"Wow-"

"Hahaha! Looks like I'm just in time! Shirou remember to prepare my portion! ”

"Oops~ Sister Teng At this time, you are really going to come to eat! Obviously, Shirou is getting up later than ever today! How did you get the timing right? ”

"Humph! Don't be small, adult! Rin! Sister Fuji, I always wait until Shirou's voice chopping vegetables sounded here, and I came over on time! ”

“…… How skilled do you have to be...... And there was the sound of chopping vegetables or something, had you been waiting outside? ”

"Not really! If you want to know when Shirou does it, my sixth sense can feel it! ”

“……”

After a few words with Taiga, Rin was finally speechless, and could only smile bitterly twice, feeling that if he continued to talk to the person with a smirk on his face, he would have lost......

"Dahe or something, no matter how it is, it's just the kind of useless adult who can't get married!"

"Huh?! It's too much! Disciple No. 1, you've gone too far! Wow! Shirou Shirou! Did you see, people are being bullied! ”

"Okay, good~ Sister Fuji, you are also an adult! You should be a little more mature, don't be like a child at every turn! ”

After Illya narrowed her eyes and said this sentence unusually and unceremoniously to Dahe, Dahe pounced directly on Shirou and said to him like a coquette, but he only got such a sentence.

"People aren't kids anymore! Good no good! Shirou really doesn't understand the heart of a girl! ”

"Since Sister Teng, you admit that you are an adult, why is it still a girl's heart!"

"Dahe or something, if you can stop asking grandpa for pocket money one day, you say that you are already an adult, maybe it will be a little convincing~"

"Woo woo woo~"

The three of them didn't pay much attention to the Dahe, which was completely sinking on one side, but they fell into silence at the same time, but for a while they fell directly into silence, feeling the slight cool breeze blowing from the atrium, and the laziness and early spring sleepiness were dispelled......

"Na Na ~ Rin ~ I seem to have seen it in the news before, oh, this year's cherry blossoms are blooming very well, so let's go enjoy the flowers together."

Half of her face was in close contact with the tabletop with her two hands stretched out like that, and after a long time, Illya said, all sleepiness and haze had disappeared from her ruby eyes......

However, it was extremely clear that she still remembered everything in the previous dream, but she didn't seem to remember it clearly, because it was mixed with the memories that had passed for two years, intertwined and entangled, and the only thing she remembered most clearly was the pair of bloody eyes that were brighter red than blood, clearer than clear water, and the quiet glimmer like the moon in the ice sea......

"It's season again...... But it's good ......."

Rin, who was already sitting, lowered her head slightly and looked into Illya's eyes, there was no line of sight, but it was more like seeing the rest through some barrier......

"Whew~"

The gentle wind blows from outside, and although it does not reach the level of cold, it also feels like touching melting snow and ice when it blows directly on your cheeks......

……

"It's been two years...... It's really ......."

Sitting in the walkway facing the courtyard, two white little hands holding a cup of tea still steaming, the ice and snow fairy girl looked at the sky and muttered, on the side eaves, a bell hung there, because the breeze swayed, bringing a series of crisp sounds.

"Huh?"

In a moment, another gust of wind blew stronger than before, accompanied by several pieces of white food, three or four fell on the silver hair, two or three fell directly on the ground on the side, and this one slipped through Illya's raised hand and fell into the teacup.

Pure white, with a slight pink, it is like the ice skin of a beautiful girl, and when you touch the petals with your fingers, you can also feel the delicateness.

"It's a lot early this year......

I couldn't help but have a sense of anticipation in my heart, but in a blink of an eye, I fell into peace, precisely because I understood that dreams are always dreams, and if I have too much hope, I will only get disappointment......

"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~"

"I'm back so soon, didn't you bring the key......"

Listening to the ringing doorbell, Illya also stood up slowly, rubbed her calves a little numb, Illya walked to the entrance, if you want to come, it should be Shirou and Rin who went out to buy things are back......

"Hah! Disciple No. 1! I'm back again! ”

The moment I opened the door, I was greeted by Dahe, who had gone out again after breakfast, and it seemed that since he was going out, he would ask his grandfather for some pocket money......

"It's a big river......"

"Humph! Now it looks like it's really Disciple No. 1 who is cuter! ”

"Huh?"

After Illya had just made a little noise, she was attracted by some strange words from the river.

"On the way here, I happened to meet a very cute and cute girl who looked like a doll! Those red eyes are very beautiful, and the skin is very white, and there is another cute long-haired boy next to him, and another girl, it looks like my sister is playing with her younger siblings! I almost couldn't resist wanting to take them home, but now that I'm used to the cute disciple No. 1, my self-control has not changed......"

"What? Big River, what did you just say?! ”

Keeping a smiling expression, Dahe said to Illya about the people he had met on the road just now, and the moment he heard the configuration, Illya raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened, and she said in a hurried and nervous tone, which made Dahe a little confused, but after a while, he suddenly realized.

"Huh? Yes! Is Disciple No. 1 interested in those cute children? Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that the kid had black hair, I would have thought it was your sister! Because it gives people a white feeling! ”

"Is brunette ......"

After hearing Dahe's other words, Illya also calmed down, a little disappointed, but helpless, just like what the girl said before, it is precisely because she has hope, so that when disappointment comes, she will feel so depressed......

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Nothing! But Dahe, you really asked grandpa for pocket money......"

"What does it matter! No matter how old I am, I'll always be grandpa's granddaughter! What does it matter if you want pocket money or something? ”

“……”

"Sister Teng, are you back so fast? It stands to reason that you should have to sit in front of your grandfather for a long time every time, right? ”

Just after Sister Fuji finished speaking to Illya with a smug face, another voice followed, but it was Shirou and Rin who came back with a few bags, and after he finished saying this, Taiga's original smug expression suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Shirou with a deep hatred.

……

"When we got the bento ready, we were ready to go, and when we went out, we found that although it was still early, the cherry blossoms were blooming very well!"

"yes, it always gives the feeling that something good is going to happen......"

After Shirou put all the ingredients away, he chatted as he made the preparations, and Rin sat down at the table, sitting around Illya and Taiga, and muttered to Shirou's words.

"Ding Dong~"

"Shirou~Someone rang the doorbell~"

"I can't leave! Sister Fuji! Go open the door for a while! ”

"Okay~ Really, Shirou will still rely on me!"

After a while, the doorbell rang again, and Sister Fuji, who was watching TV with Rin and Illya, shouted at Shirou without looking back, and Shirou also responded a little helplessly, and after looking at Illya and Rin, who didn't plan to make any moves, Taiga finally stood up with a rather smug smile......

"It's coming, it's coming~"

"Click~"

As the door opened, a gust of wind blew in, obviously it was such a curved structure, but I could still feel the disturbance of the air, it was an abnormal wind, but in an instant, Illya and Rin realized this, and at the same time opened their eyes wide and stood up!

If it was at this time, a magician attacked, then Sister Fuji who went to open the door would probably be in danger, but in the end, it was still a step slower......

"Huh? Little sister, are you in the wrong place? ”

The voice of the big river inquiring came......

"No, there shouldn't be a mistake, this is indeed the Wei Palace Mansion."

It was a cold, unfluctuating voice, not loud, but it could be heard clearly, it was such a familiar voice!

"Huh? So, is it looking for someone?! That's a rarity! I really didn't expect that there are so many relatives of Kiritsugu?! ”

"Well, it's a ...... to find someone."

It was also at this moment that Illya and Rin both stood beside the river, and they also saw the girl standing outside the door, pale to some abnormal skin, blood-colored, like dripping blood, silent as if it was a lonely moon, but it was not cold, just quiet......

The red headband was tied to the side of her head, which made her more cute, and the pure black hair that was just shoulder-length like the clothes she was wearing, just like that, except for the hair color, this is the person, no, even if the hair color is different, Rin and Illya also understand, this is her!

"It's a little bit that I can't control the power of 'our', so it's caused some visions, and I'm a little sorry for that, sister, and Illya."

Wind, gentle, unusually wind......

rushed into the room, blowing the quiet girl's hair floating, fluttering, shaking, dancing with the pink and white petals that bloomed early, except for the color of the hair, it was close to the dream......

"Plus, I'm back......"

“…… Welcome back, Sakura! ”X2

As the dream foretold, today was indeed a good day, but after glancing at each other, Rin and Illya also remembered the last words of the dream......

"Do you want to come with us to see the cherry blossoms, Sakura?" X2

“…… Well. ”
