The commercial streets of Fuyuki City are always very popular, and they are also bustling with activity as the evening approaches.

At this time, on the crowded road, there was a young girl carrying a schoolbag and walking with her head down.

Judging from the outfit she was wearing, she was also a student of the 'Private Suizunyuan Academy', but compared to the men and women who were talking and laughing in groups around her, the girl walking alone seemed a little out of place.

Through the long lilac hair hanging down from the side, you can see her delicate face, I have to say, this is a rare classic beauty. It's just that unlike the beautiful face, the girl's pupils, which are the same color as her hair, appear dull and lacklustre, adding a sense of isolation to her, making it difficult to approach.

There was no one trying to pick up a conversation to disturb her, and the girl walked very slowly.

The distance between her steps was short, more like walking than walking.

At such a slow pace, the girl stopped from time to time and looked behind her, as if waiting for something.

- How many days is this?

The days when the predecessors were not there were even more sad than imagined.

Sakura took a slow step, her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

It has been many days since Senior Emiya's father asked for leave from school for him.

Could it be that something happened to the seniors?

Maybe I should go to his home......

The girl who thought of something also stopped her steps.

Before she knew it, she was standing in the middle of a fork in the road in a 'Y' shape.

To the right, you will find the way home.

To the left, it is the home of the seniors.

Do you live your life according to your own rules, or do you follow your own wishes?

How to choose between the two......

Standing still, Sakura Maki fell into confusion.

"Sister......

"Sister.......

“…… Now, this sister, didn't you hear? ”

"Ah, what's wrong?!"

At this moment, the entangled Kirizakura Sakura heard as if someone was calling for her.

She turned her head, only to find that no one else was beside her.

"What's going on......"

"Sister, I'm here......"

Suddenly, she felt the corners of her clothes being pulled.

The girl looked down and saw a little girl with a delicate face like a doll, looking at her.

She wears a purple dress, a white pleated skirt, long silver-white silky hair, and her eyes are unusually bright red.

From these places, it can be seen that the little girl is not a native of the country.

She looked up at the cherry blossoms, her cheeks slightly bulging, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied: "I'm really sorry for being short." ”

"Little sister, I'm sorry......"

Sakura bent down a little awkwardly.

She pulled her hair down, and a smile naturally spread across her face.

This smile looks gentle and peaceful, not at all like what a person with complex thoughts can have.

And for Sakura, it's just a habit, a habit that comes from instinct.

"Is there anything you're looking for me?"

"I just want to ask, do you know if there is a family surnamed 'Wei Gong' in the vicinity?"

The little girl's voice was Lolita, with just the right amount of clarity: "In the past few days, I have asked many people, and they all said they don't know. Just now, a guy tried to trick me into going somewhere else, and I taught me a good lesson......"

"Ahh

Sakura was a little surprised.

Previously, she thought that the little girl had been separated from her family and wanted to ask her to help find the police. She didn't expect that the other party was going to ask for directions: "May I ask who you are from the predecessor of the Wei Palace." ”

Indeed, compared to other famous families born and raised, the Emiya Group, which has risen in Fuyuki City in recent years through the manufacturing industry, has a very thin presence, and even the place where its family mansion is located is too remote for few people to know.

"What senior? I'm here to find Kiritsugu......"

The little girl didn't seem to understand what Sakura was saying, and she continued to ask, "So, sister, do you know where it is?" ”

"Well, it just so happens that my sister is going there too, so let me take you with me!"

I'm going to show this little girl, she's so cute, if no one walks with her, she'll be abducted by the bad guys.

As if to give an excuse not to go home, Sakura had a flash of inspiration and said to herself secretly in her heart.

Her smile was no longer full of mask peace and gentleness, but something more real.

- That's a little bit of expectation and longing.

She carried her schoolbag in her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to the little girl, "My name is Sakura Makiri, little sister, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Elijah, Elijasfil von Einzberen."

The little girl seemed to be very happy, and she held Sakura's hand with her: "Can I call you Sister Sakura?" ”

The smile seemed innocent, but it was like a mask, hiding something behind it.

For some reason, Sakura Maki suddenly had an inexplicable thought.

No...... How could it be possible for such a young child.

She immediately put away the ridiculous idea, put away her thoughts, and smiled, "Of course." ”

Sakura held hands with her and walked together in the direction of Emiya's house.

The two talked and laughed, and it didn't take long for them to come to the door of the samurai-style mansion.

However, before Kirizakura could go up and ring the doorbell, Illya gently broke free of her hand.

Sakura looked at the little girl with some surprise, and at this moment, her face was no longer the smile she had before.

Facing the closed door, Illya's expression became very complicated.

She looked very sad and contained indescribable anger, two complex emotions, all intertwined.

She turned her head to look at Sakura and said seriously, "Sister, thank you for sending me here."

"Illya?"

Sakura was a little puzzled.

"Can my sister avoid it a little?"

The silver-haired and red-eyed Lori said lightly: "Because something not so good may happen next." ”

Sakura's heart suddenly tensed.

She asked inexplicably, "Wait, wait, what are you going to do?"

Illya thought about it, but still didn't answer.

She didn't want to make a move on this 'sister' who had an inexplicable sense of sympathy.

So, she gritted her teeth and said to herself, "Forget it...... Anyway, the bigger the trouble, the better......"

Illya, who was standing in front of the gate, took a deep breath......

And then there was a milky roar!

"Kiritsugu!"

She shouted someone's name.

"Kiritsugu!"

"Kiritsugu!"

Not only that, but Illya also tapped the wooden door with her small palm.

Even, feeling that the movement was too small, she began to kick up with the delicate leather boots that wrapped the soles of her feet: "Kiritsugu, don't hide inside and keep silent, I know you're at home!" You have the ability to pack the junior, why don't you have the ability to open the door! Open the door, Kiritsugu! Open the door! ”

"Ahh......h

Seeing this scene, Jian Kirizakura was a little stunned, and the imaginary number magic that was about to be launched in her hand stopped.

That, I was going to take her to find the senior of the Wei Palace who was on leave at home, what is the situation?

Kiritsu? Could it be that it is the father of the senior, the helmsman of the Emiya Group, the legendary Emiya Kiritsuke......

Bang bang bang......

Violent crashing sounds.

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

Illya's eyes were filled with tears, but she tried not to let her stay and continued to shout.

"Don't you want me anymore!"

The knock on the door continued for a while, and seeing that there was no movement in the door, she bit her lip and spat out a syllable.

“Ba……”

However, at this moment, the wooden door of the Emiya Mansion was suddenly opened.

Illya, who couldn't retract in time, was about to fall, but was surrounded by two white arms.

It was not Emiya Kiritsugu who appeared in front of her, but Kuyu Maiya.

The assistant, who is highly regarded by the magician killer, is looking at the little girl with a complicated look.

"Illya......

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Illya spoke with some difficulty.

“…… Are you my father's little three? ”

Kuyu Maiya was stunned for a moment.

This is different from the reunion picture I imagined!

"Illya, don't you know me? I'm your Aunt Maiya......"

She hurriedly said to Illya, "Do you remember? I hugged you when you were little. ”

"So, how much money do you need to leave Kiritsugu and this house?"

Ignoring her, Illya took out a large number of cards from the small bag of her clothes: "So, you name a number!" Whether it's a million, 10 million, or 100 million, as long as you want it, I'll give it to you. ”

"You are mistaken, it's not about money......"

Kuyu Maiya shook her head: "I won't leave Kiritsugu." ”

"Humph! It's all your fault, Dad will forget Mom, will forget me......"

Illya gritted her teeth, tears were about to come out: "I heard from the old man that he also has a child, who is my younger brother. Could it be you and his children? It's because of you that Kiritsugu doesn't come back to see me......"

"What ......"

Sakura's mouth opened slightly.

Do you seem to have heard something terrible?

I never expected it! The father of the predecessor of the Wei Palace, who seems to be a gentle and good old man on weekdays, turned out to be a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, and now it is okay, the long-lost sister of the predecessor of the Wei Palace came to the door alone!

Wrong......

As a blind monk, Sakura discovered Huadian.

The senior is one year older than himself, and he is already a sophomore in high school, why is there a little girl as an older sister?

"Illya, come in......"

Kuyu Maiya stood up a little helplessly: "I will tell you the truth." ”

"Sakura, can you wait a moment at the dojo?"

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Sakura Makiri.

This school girl who often comes to look for Emiya Shirou, Hisayu Maiya naturally knows.

However, there are some things that 'outsiders' should know, so she asked the other party to wait a little.

"Well, then excuse me."

Sakura's face flushed slightly.

She nodded, and walked to the left, all too familiarly.

"Humph......"

On the other side, Illya was still puffing and puffing.

Although she doesn't admit it, she actually has an impression of Maiya.

That's why she didn't really summon the [it] behind her.

"I'd like to see what you're trying to quibble......"

Stamping her feet, the little girl entered the Emiya Mansion with Maiya Kuyu.

In the process, none of the three noticed that a camera was flashing on the telephone pole at the door......
