Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"Uh...sorry."

Outside Fuyuki City, in the forest of the Einzbern Castle territory, Kiritsugu Emiya took the lead and headed towards the castle. Along the way, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya kept asking Kiritsugu about the last Holy Grail War.

Kiritsugu Emiya was patient and would explain to either Shirou Emiya or Rin Tohsaka when asked. Of course, there wasn't much he could explain, as he didn't have much experience in the Fourth Shinobi World War. All he could do was briefly talk about the preparations he made during the war.

"So, Dad, you actually lived here when you first came to Fuyuki City?"

As Shirou Emiya walked, he looked at the castle that was gradually growing larger in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

“This place is so big.”

“Strictly speaking, I am merely living here because this place belongs to the Einzbern family, and I am just an agent employed by the Einzbern family.”

As he spoke, Kiritsugu Emiya gestured with his chin towards the front.

"Looks like someone is here to pick us up."

"Ok?"

Rin Tohsaka looked over in confusion and found two people dressed in traditional European maid dresses standing in front of her group, staring at them expressionlessly.

"This is?"

"The Einzbern family's androids are created by the Einzbern family to serve them. In addition to ordinary androids, there are also combat androids. These two should be combat androids."

"Cyborg?"

Emiya Shirou stared in surprise at the two expressionless maids in front of him. Apart from their blank expressions, the two maids were basically no different from normal people. In fact, one could say that their faces were more delicate and beautiful than those of ordinary people.

Why are they described as combat-ready androids?

"Because they were hiding weapons on their backs."

Rin Tohsaka saw the long poles behind the two maids and pointed at them.

"arms?"

Seemingly to verify Rin Tohsaka's words, under Shirou Emiya's questioning gaze, the two maids revealed what was behind their backs.

One was a large, all-metal axe, and the other was a long, all-metal spear.

Clearly, both of these maids are combat maids.

"Want to solve it?"

Heroic Spirit Emiya asked from the side.

Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head and looked up at the sky.

"No need. If Ilya is here, we don't need to fight. We just need to wait for Ilya to appear."

"There is a barrier around the forest surrounding this castle, and the barrier is connected to the crystal inside the castle. I sensed that barrier when I came in, so Ilya should already know we are here. These maids are just Einzbern's alert mechanism, coming out to meet the enemy first. Ilya herself should come out later."

As expected, just as Kiritsugu Emiya had said, after waiting for a short while, the two homunculus maids who had been on guard with weapons stepped aside, and Illya, dressed in winter clothes and wearing a fluffy little hat, appeared in front of everyone.

"Welcome to the territory of Einzbern. I am..."

Upon appearing, Ilya immediately bowed slightly to the crowd.

But Illya stopped mid-sentence because she saw Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Kiritsugu?"

Illya stared in astonishment at Kiritsugu Emiya standing at the very front of the crowd. She couldn't believe her eyes and wondered if she was seeing things.

"Ah, Ilya, it's me."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the slightly grown-up Illya and couldn't help but smile. Is this Illya ten years later?

It doesn't look like it has grown much; it still looks so small. Although it has grown a bit compared to when it was small, it hasn't grown much, probably because it's an artificial human.

Although Illya is the daughter of Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel, she is actually a homunculus. Her body is filled with magic circuits, and her purpose is to become the vessel for the Holy Grail.

Although she didn't grow up to be the sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school girl she had imagined, her current height, which looks like that of an elementary school student, is still quite cute.

“Ilya, I…”

Kiritsugu Emiya had many things he wanted to say to Illya, who was ten years in the future, but Illya simply raised her right hand and pointed at Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Kill him, Berserker!"

Roar! ! !

After a roar, a tall figure appeared behind Ilya. This figure looked to be at least two meters tall, and his burly and strong body seemed to be beyond human capabilities. Even the top black basketball players in the United States could not achieve such a terrifying height, and the strongest man could not have such muscular build!

This is the Servant, the Berserker in this Holy Grail War!

The tall, dark figure appeared and immediately widened its eyes, which flashed red light and locked onto Kiritsugu Emiya, who was standing at the front.

"Ugh?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was being stared at by Berserker, didn't react at first.

Wait, Ilya just said she was going to kill me, could it be me?

Berserker answered him with his actions. The huge figure jumped directly from behind Illya, leaping into the air like a mortar for more than ten meters, and then plummeted down towards Kiritsugu Emiya.

Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils contracted instantly.

[Instant Triple Speed]!

Without any hesitation, Kiritsugu Emiya instantly activated his magic, putting himself into a state of acceleration, and vanished from his original spot, rushing into the forest to the side.

Berserker landed the instant after Kiritsugu Emiya left, slamming his fists into the ground like a large-caliber howitzer hitting the ground, instantly creating a crater.

Everyone present stared wide-eyed as Berserker smashed a hole large enough to completely bury Kiritsugu Emiya.

Kiritsugu Emiya, who was hiding nearby, gasped in shock. He thought to himself, "Are you kidding me? If that punch had landed on me, I'd probably be shattered on the spot."

He quickly shouted at Ilya.

"Illya! It's me! It's Kiritsugu!!"

"We're going to attack Kiritsugu!"

Illya immediately echoed back, emphasizing that Kiritsugu Emiya was stunned.

"what!?"

336. Emiya Kiritsugu, who was almost killed

Kiritsugu Emiya never expected that Illya would have her summoned Berserker attack him the moment she saw him!

Is that something I can handle? Ilya, look at this Berserker's terrifying muscles! Do you want your dad to be smashed into a pancake by this Berserker?!

However, it was no use for Kiritsugu Emiya to emphasize his identity. He thought Illya doubted his identity, so he insisted that he really was Kiritsugu. But after Illya confirmed that he was Kiritsugu, she did not relax. Instead, she became even more agitated and ordered the Berserker to beat him up.

"what!!!!"

"Roar!!!!"

In the forest belonging to the Einzbern family, Kiritsugu Emiya was driving his [Time Capsule] at breakneck speed, while behind him, Berserker was shouting wildly and chasing after him, swinging his fists.

"Illya, it's me, Kiritsugu! I'm your father!"

As he ran, Kiritsugu Emiya continued shouting at Illya, hoping she would be able to command the Berserker to stop.

"Berserker! Grab him! Don't let him get away!"

However, Illya not only did not stop Berserker, but even gave Berserker another order to capture Kiritsugu Emiya.

"No!"

Kiritsugu Emiya let out a helpless cry, then continued to run faster as Berserker chased after him.

To avoid the Berserker, Kiritsugu Emiya made various turns and ran into the forest, trying to use the trees to block the Berserker's advance.

However, Berserker's power exceeded Kiritsugu Emiya's expectations. It used its body like a tank, smashing through all the trees and chasing Kiritsugu Emiya in a straight line.

"Damn it, why is this Berserker so different from the previous Berserker?!"

Kiritsugu Emiya listened to the commotion behind him, his face filled with despair.

In the Fourth Holy Grail War that he experienced, the Berserker was Lancelot, who was controlled by Li Yue. Although the other party was entangled with Saber very fiercely, at least he was a normal human in terms of size and attack method. But what is this Berserker? Why is he so big and has such terrifying strength? With this size and strength, neither buildings nor obstacles are of any use to him!

If it were used to fight enemies, that would be one thing, but he's chasing after himself now!

Kiritsugu Emiya ran frantically, but he couldn't keep [Time Control] active indefinitely. Although this magic was extremely powerful, it also placed a heavy burden on him. If he continued to use it, his heart would not be able to take it and he would die suddenly.

But if he doesn't run, that berserker behind him will really kill him!

He didn't know why Illya chose to have the Berserker attack him the moment she saw him, but he could guess that it was probably something that Kiritsugu Emiya from this world did during the Fourth Shinobi World War, which made Illya very angry, but now he, Kiritsugu Emiya from another world, had to take the blame.

This is too unlucky!

I did say I came to save Illya, but not to get smashed to a pulp by the Berserkers Illya summoned!

With this in mind, Kiritsugu Emiya began searching for Li Yue. Li Yue had brought him to this world, so he had to help resolve the situation; he couldn't just bring him here to simply get beaten up.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya searched his head but couldn't find Li Yue.

Wait, where is Li Yue? Emiya Kiritsugu immediately thought of Li Yue's extraordinary ability to hide during the Fourth Shinobi World War. He couldn't possibly be hiding himself just to avoid getting beaten up!

Lost in thought, Kiritsugu Emiya didn't notice the ground beneath his feet and tripped over a protruding tree root. He rolled forward several times on the ground, trying to get up and continue running, but before he could stand up, another tree root blocked his way, and he fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this moment, the Berserker instantly appeared behind Kiritsugu Emiya, raised its huge fist, and smashed it down directly at Kiritsugu Emiya.

boom--

"Kiritsugu!!"

Ilya panicked when she saw Berserker punch Kiritsugu's spot.

She just wanted Berserker to teach Kiritsugu Emiya a lesson, she didn't really want to kill him, she was just saying it!

Ilya hurriedly ran to Berserker's side, raised her leg and started kicking Berserker's foot while cursing.

"Who told you to kill Kiritsugu! I only told you to grab Kiritsugu! Berserker, you idiot, why did you hit him so hard?! What if you really killed Kiritsugu?!"

Berserker was initially excited about finally landing a punch, but after being kicked by Ilya, he immediately became aggrieved.

The tall man, over 2 meters tall, sat on the ground with his knees drawn up to his chest, looking aggrieved. Even sitting on the ground, he was still over a meter tall. With his hands around his knees and a worried expression, he looked as aggrieved as a child weighing several hundred pounds.

"Kiritsugu, Kiritsugu, are you there? Are you alright!"

After kicking Berserker until he looked pitiful, Ilya looked at the big crater Berserker had created in front of her and shouted nervously.
