And just like that, everything was back on track.

In order to adapt to the life of modern winter wood,Illya chose to join the primary school department of Suiqunyuan School Park.,Every morning with everyone to go to school.。

At noon, everyone will gather on the rooftop to share the bento box and the interesting experience of the morning.

After school in the afternoon, except for the Arbow Club that Sakura will stay at the school to teach the young members and come back later, everyone will return to the Emiya Mansion together and do their own things:

Artoria would sit in the kendo hall, Rin would stay in her room to study magic and meditate on how to make money, and Illya would happily practice dancing in the backyard.

As for Fujimura, the winter tiger has nothing to do, staying in the living room and watching TV boringly, purely waiting for a meal to eat later.

In the end, as the head of the family, I was responsible for purchasing ingredients and preparing dinner every day......

I don't know how long this kind of life lasted, and everyone was very happy every day.

……

And then on a sunny afternoon—

After taking my laundry out of the washing machine and drying it on the balcony, I stretched and prepared to go back to my room for a nap.

However, when I turned around, I saw a familiar figure.

Petite body, long curly hair, white wings......

A girl who looks like an angel looks into my eyes in silence.

"Hello, Alayya."

Slightly stunned, I finally smiled and said hello to the other party.

“……”

With a slight tap of her head in response, the girl slowly shifted her steps and walked up with grace and lightness.

Walking to the open floor-to-ceiling window, the girl sat gently on the wooden plank, crossed her slender legs.

Although it was right next to me, the girl's eyes were only looking at the scenery outside the window, and there was an inexplicable depth in her clear eyes, as if she was immersed in a world that only she could see.

The girl remained motionless, like a beautiful statue of contemplation, allowing time to pass slowly around her.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the wind has fallen asleep, and the leaves no longer sway with it.

In the current world, it's just me and her.

"That...... Can I sit down? ”

After standing beside her for a long time, I finally scratched my head and asked in a somewhat dry voice.

The girl ......did not speak, but remained motionless.

"Uh...... If you don't speak, I'll take you as an agreement......"

Sighing helplessly, I bent down and put my hands on the ground and sat down next to the angel girl.

However, considering that the two sides are still hostile to each other for the time being, I still deliberately kept a personal distance from her.

Sensing that I was sitting down beside her, there was a ripple in the angel girl's eyes.

"Why, you can sit with me so carelessly? Have you forgotten what I did to you and the Knight King? ”

Gently turning her snow-white neck to look at me, the girl asked in a soft and slow tone.

"Whew...... I know, so I'm not going to forgive you until now. Facing the girl's direct gaze, I shook my head.

"......" The girl's face remained unchanged, still firmly fixed on my face.

"But...... How to say, at least in this world, I want to thank you. I paused before continuing, "In the six months that I have lived with Artoria in modern times, although there have been conflicts and misunderstandings, on the whole it is really an irreplaceable memory. ”

“…… If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have had this half-year experience. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh, "Alayya, only in this world, I want to express my sincerest gratitude to you. Thank you for giving me the right to happiness and joy with your own hands. ”

The angel girl didn't speak, just stared intently into my eyes.

“…… It's strange that not a word of it is fake. The only conclusion I can draw is that your feelings are completely real and come from the heart. After listening to my last sentence, the angel girl shook her head slightly, "Ask you a word, are you a fool or a fool?" ”

"Can I choose neither?" I couldn't stop crying or laughing.

"Then it's better to be both." The girl said in a calm tone, "From now on, I will study you as a special case among the human beings." ”

"In that case...... Please be merciful. I spread my hands and smiled wryly.

"Alright, that's the end of the greetings, let's get down to business." The angel girl looked at the willow tree outside the window, thought about it, and then stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers.

With the girl's movements, the willow hanging down from the roots fluttered in the wind again, and the emerald green willow leaves filled the courtyard.

The lazy afternoon sun shines on the angel girl's white wings and delicate skin, making it all seem dreamlike and beautiful.

"Honestly, Traverser, you surprised me very much." Reaching out to catch the emerald willow leaves drifting in the wind, the girl said slowly, "Before sending you to this world, I have comprehensively calculated all the factors, and finally concluded that it will be difficult for you and the Knight King to get along as lovers for a long time no matter what. You will end up parting ways because of fundamental disagreements between your respective philosophies. ”

"I'm really sorry to disappoint you." I chuckled softly.

"That's the most incomprehensible thing to me. You have miraculously overcome all the obstacles along the way, and have even formed a bond that is far stronger than when you first joined us. Gently opening her palm, letting the willow leaves drift away in the wind again, the girl turned her head to look at me again, "Can you tell me why?" This is the first time I've seen the world develop according to results that I didn't have calculated beforehand. ”

"It's very simple, because in your mind, human beings are just pure creatures, but the truth is that human beings are living beings, and they are very different from ordinary animals." I shook my head and said.

"What's the difference?" The girl calmly retorted, "Humans and other creatures are just equal beings born into the world. ”

"Of course it's different. The most striking thing is that human beings do not choose the most rational way to survive. I said unhurriedly, "For the sake of their lovers, families, and friends, human beings will give up many things that could have been obtained, and go to each other's side desperately." ”

"That's the weakness of human beings, and that's what hurts me the most." The girl shook her head and said, "Obviously, if two genetically excellent humans are combined with each other, they can give birth to humans who are close to perfection in all aspects. However, due to emotional obstacles, the optimal solution for species evolution has become an uncontrollable existence in human society. ”
