Chapter 260: Winter Goes to Spring
After reuniting with his daughter, the magician killer who has endured countless hardships finally lets go of everything and decides to live a peaceful life with Illya in Fuyuki City.
In his early years, Kiritsugu made a lot of money, and in the past he would spend most of his commissioned income on maintaining guns and buying necessary new weapons.
Now that it is no longer needed, the magician killer disappeared with the end of the Holy Grail War, and it was Emiya Kiritsugu who survived as an ordinary father.
In order not to leave a bad impression on his daughter as a lazy eater, Kiritsugu slowly recovers the damaged magic circuit while trying to find a new job in Fuyuki City.
With the advantage of being proficient in multiple foreign languages, Kiritsugu got a job as an English teacher at Hogungahara Gakuen in Fuyuki with the introduction of the local yakuza chieftain Fujimura Leihua.
Maiya, who had less than five years to live, began to show bad signs at first, and when Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu returned to Fuyuki, Kuto Maiya's originally bright short black hair had all turned lifeless and pale.
Although there are no clues in other places for the time being, after Lu Xiao's examination, Wumi's physical condition can no longer return to its peak, and even doing some heavy housework will make her tired and out of breath.
In order to allow Maiya to live her last life in peace, Kiritsu strongly ordered her to stay at home to take care of Illya, teach Illya social knowledge, and tutor her for the lessons she owed.
Illya is almost 9 years old, and a child her age should be in elementary school.
But Illya, who grew up at the ChΓ’teau de Einzberen, lacked a basic education, and she had to be taught the previous years of primary school before she could enroll.
Winter turns to spring, and with the end of the Holy Grail War, Fuyuki City has returned to normal order, and the people no longer have to worry about natural gas explosions at any time.
Considering that he only had a short half month of rest after returning to the Overworld, Lu Xiao decided to use the remaining months of his stay to continue to stay in Dongmu City and study the third law materials obtained from the Einzberen family.
When Lu Xiao and Kiritsugu returned to Fuyuki, under the supervision of Maimi, Lu Xiao's relatively lightly damaged courtyard was the first to complete the repair, which saved Lu Xiao from renting a hotel.
After Aoi Tosaka rushed back to Fuyuki from Yatsushirodai City, he presided over Tokitomi's funeral with Rin's assistance as soon as possible.
Now that the hostess has returned, Lu Xiao, an outsider, is naturally not good to live in the Yuansaka Mansion anymore.
After the funeral, under Rin's many coquettish persuasions, Aoi, who lacks assertiveness, finally agrees that Sakura and Goose Night will temporarily live in the Tosaka house.
Goya's nominal identity is Sakura's servant, but he is actually Sakura's guardian, which Aoi is also well aware of.
Sakura is the only one left in the Maki family, and even with the help of magic engraving, it is difficult for her to fully grasp the "absorption" magic of the Maki family alone, and it is just right to have Yan Ye, who has studied theoretical knowledge, as the guide.
As for the nominal adopted daughter of Yanya, Asagami Fujino, after some consideration, Aoi Tosaka finally agreed to let her live in the Tosaka mansion as well.
Anyway, you don't have to worry about having a lot of debts, and you can be a little more lively when there are more people, so as to avoid thinking cranky in an empty mansion.
Leaving the Asagami family, Fujino changed back to her original surname, Asagami, which does not mean that she intends to inherit the inheritance of the Asagami family, but only to commemorate her deceased parents.
In March, Fujino graduated from the primary school of Reeden Girls' College.
Under the operation of Altheia, Fujino moved from Kanfuko City to live in Fuyuki City, and was successfully enrolled in Fukayama Town Middle School.
Lu Xiao, who was busy studying materials, had no time to pay attention to all kinds of miscellaneous matters in the outside world for the time being, and Rin often came to the door to find fault with various reasons, but every time he was angry by Lu Xiao's careless and cold attitude.
By the way, after Rin Tosaka inherited the position of head of the Tosaka family, people often came to visit the Tosaka house.
In order to facilitate the handling of family affairs nearby, Aoi Tosaka went through the transfer procedures for Rin and transferred from Yatsudaidai Elementary School back to Fuyuki Elementary School.
"Is elementary school so idle?"
Through the monitoring magic of the workshop, I saw Rin standing outside the gate with her waist crossed, and Sakura with her schoolbag also obediently followed behind her sister, and Lu Xiao reluctantly put down the copy book in her hand.
"The barrier is lifted, come in."
"Humph!"
Rin, who had just entered the second grade of elementary school, proudly walked into the courtyard gate with her head held high, and took Sakura, who had just entered the school, into the magic workshop located under the warehouse.
"Have you been staying at home trying to grow mushrooms? It's time to go out and get some activity anyway. β
Lu Xiao rolled her eyes: "Is this what you should say as a child of the magician family?" I'm trying to study the great third dharma. β
"It doesn't matter what you're studying, it's the same."
Rin retorted confidently: "My father used to say that learning must be a combination of work and rest, and blindly studying will only make you drill into the horns, but it will affect the efficiency of learning." β
"This weekend, we are going to accompany Illya to Guanbuzi City for a physical examination, and you are also with you, you are not allowed to refuse!"
Seeing Rin's firm eyes, Lu Xiao knew that it was difficult for him to make a decision.
"Hey~ Okay, I'll run with you, Illya...... Let's hope everything goes well. β
Illya's mother is an artificial human, but her father is a natural person.
Her birth was also a miracle for the Einzberen family, who were born with magic circuits far beyond those of ordinary magicians, and the total amount of magic power was quite large.
However, as a descendant of a hybrid of artificial and natural humans, Illya's physical condition is not stable, which can be seen from the abnormal growth of her appearance at the age of eight and three.
Due to the magic transformation of the Einzberen family when she was a fetus, Illya's body structure is very special, originally born as a small chalice of Fuyuki, and she can be connected to the leylines of Fuyuki by nature, and draw magic directly from the leylines.
But as a price, there are many things about Illya's body that are not human, and if she continues to grow like this, her body will have problems sooner or later.
Fuyuki's Holy Grail has ended its mission, and both Tosaka and Kiriri of the Gosan family hope to dismantle Fuyuki's Holy Grail before the next Holy Grail War, and Illya, who has been incarnated as a Little Holy Grail, no longer needs to maintain this anomaly.
It wasn't a good idea to go back to Einzberen for a makeover, and the hell knows if they'd do anything in Illya's body.
Lu Xiao was only a half-baked person who had just begun to learn the third method, and he couldn't put his newly mastered knowledge into practice in a short period of time, so there was only one person left who was most suitable to adjust Illya's body.
β¦β¦
Guanbuzi City, Garan no Tang Workshop.
Orange took off her glasses and her face was very serious, and it was the first time she had the opportunity to come into contact with an artificial person in Einzbelen.
"Einzberen's androids are mainly made using the principles of alchemy, and there are some differences between them and my puppet technology, but it is not difficult to just adjust Illya's body."
"The problem is with her soul."
Orange complained with a disgusted expression on her face, "There are many traces of artificial transformation in Illya's soul, and there are some strange settings that I can't understand. β
"Einzberen also dares, he actually uses people's souls to do magic transformation experiments, and he is completely the same as that guy in the wilderness, and he is a madman who is carried away by obsession."
As parties involved in the Holy Grail War, Fuyuki's visitors, including Kiritsugu and Rin, all know what the soul transformation in Orange's mouth is for, which is a special custom transformation made by Einz Belen in order to fit the Little Holy Grail.
Kiritsugu pursed her lips and looked at Illya, who was lying asleep on the workbench, with a heavy look in her eyes.
He thought that his suffering would be over when he recaptured Illya, but he didn't expect that there would be bigger problems to solve in the future.
"Miss Orange."
Kiritsugu bowed his head deeply and asked Orange, "No matter what the price it takes, please do your best to heal Illya, I can't lose her!" β
"Uh~ No need to do that."
Orange scratched her hair with a headache: "I will do my best, but the soul level is really not the focus of my research. β
"You'd better be mentally prepared if you can't find a solution before Illya becomes an adult......"
"Whew~"
Orange spat out a puff of smoke in a depressed mood, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile that she didn't know who to target.
"Perhaps, we can only hope that there are only five magic in the world to save her soul."
