Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Why are you so cold to her?

Didn't Irisviel say he really liked her?

How come she didn't notice anything at all?

Rather, it's more like they're looking down on her because she's a girl.

"Where is Frilian?" Tokimatsu had no idea what Saber was thinking. He stood up with the two of them in his arms and asked.

"Frilian is in her room."

"Sister Frilian is probably reading a comic book."

The two took turns replying.

"She's not worried about me at all. I'll go teach her a lesson after I finish watching this."

"We want to join in too! We want to see!"

"Okay, let's go together."

Shichen carried the two of them to Frilian's room.

Irisviel and Saber did not follow; the two sat down in the living room, doing nothing.

Seeing Saber looking lost in thought, Irisviel asked curiously, "Saber, what's wrong?"

“It’s nothing…” Saber gently shook her head.

"Hehe~ Are you thinking about how the time forced you to do this earlier?"

"..." Saber pursed her lips, not denying it.

“I think Shi Chen is definitely doing this for your own good, so don’t blame him,” Irisviel said, speaking up for Shi Chen.

"I know... I should have been prepared long ago..."

"Then why are you still here?"

"I feel like Shichen really looks down on me..." Saber finally spoke her mind.

“Shichen looks down on you? How could that be?” Irisviel laughed.

"Then why is his attitude towards me different? I feel like he's deliberately targeting me?"

"Didn't I tell you? Shichen likes you a lot."

"...He knows my identity and should understand my personality, so why is he still forcing me?"

"I don't know about that. You can just ask him."

“He definitely won’t tell me.” Saber shook her head.

"Well, there's nothing I can do to help with that, but you have to believe that Shichen will never look down on you," Irisviel said earnestly.

"really?"

"Have you forgotten that he just avenged you? And he was so angry when you were injured."

"Um......"

Saber recalled Shi Chen's attitude back then; he was indeed genuinely angry, and he had grabbed her hand without any sense of propriety, hitting her head like a child.

She seemed to have never been treated like this before.

“So trust the time. He must have his reasons. You two are Master and Servant, partners. How can you have any doubts?” Irisviel held Saber’s hand and comforted her softly.

Reflecting on her time with Shichen, she realized he didn't seem like that kind of person at all; in fact, she found him quite comfortable to be around. Saber nodded, "I understand."

By the time Lancer's Master was dealt with, it was already evening. After Shichen had tormented Frilian for a while, it was time for dinner.

We made quite a commotion during the day, and it's very likely that we've been targeted by others, so Shichen didn't take everyone out to eat.

It's safe in the hotel for now; there are still many ordinary people here.

After all, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret.

Given Irisviel's appearance, even if the hotel guests were all without makeup, they would still be disturbed. So Shichen set up a small barrier so they could eat in peace.

The hotel's dinner was indeed excellent, with steak and seafood all-you-can-eat options.

The accommodation cost quite a bit.

Over at the castle, they ate Chinese dishes prepared by the hour, things Saber had never tried before.

So Saber got a little tipsy from eating.

She was eating slowly and quietly, taking small bites, but before she knew it, there were several empty plates in front of her.

"Saber is definitely a big eater," Illya exclaimed, her big eyes fixed on the stack of empty plates.

"Hmm..." Saber felt a little embarrassed after Illya said that, and slowed down a bit.

"Being able to eat is a blessing." Shichen rubbed Illya's head, speaking up for Saber.

"But Saber is a girl, isn't it a bit inappropriate for her to eat so much?"

"Who said that? Men and women are equal. Eat whatever you want. Anyway, Saber won't gain weight, so I don't mind."

"That's right."

"You should eat more too, this is the time when you're growing."

“I know, I want to grow up quickly! I want this place to be as big as Daddy likes.” Ilya patted her chest.

"Cough cough!"

Shi Chen was completely taken aback by Ilya's words, even doubting whether he had misheard: "Ilya... what did you say?"

"I want to grow up and get stronger, and I will try my best."

“Ilya!” Irisviel snapped.

"...Who told you that?" Shi Chen asked, a smirk playing on his lips.

"No, it's just that Dad stares at Mom every time she takes a bath."

"Eh?" Irisviel looked at Shichen shyly, not even noticing.

"......" The timing was a bit awkward.

He didn't expect that Ilya would see his little actions, but what could he do? It was a man's instinct. She was taking a bath with him, how could he not see anything?

It's so appealing!

He is not a eunuch.

"Sakura can testify."

"...Sakura saw it too?" Shichen stiffly turned his neck to look at Shiying.

"Um......"

Shi Ying nodded shyly: "I, I will also try my best for my brother."

"I......"

"Shichen, you pervert!" Frillie complained, still standing.

"...Is your butt itchy again?" Shichen rolled his eyes at Frilian.

"Don't hit me anymore! I haven't recovered from the hit yet, it hurts so much!" Frillie quickly covered her butt.

"Then you'd better eat properly."

"Oh..." Frillian nodded obediently; she was still terrified after being beaten.

Not only were they heavy-handed, but they did it in front of Ilya and Shiying, making them feel both pain and shame.

"Shichen, you've corrupted Ilya and the others!" Irisviel said reproachfully.

She wasn't angry at all; in fact, she was quite happy. She really was attracted to the time of day.

"You can't blame me for this, can you? You're just too charming," Shichen retorted, glancing at Saber.

Fortunately, Saber wasn't looking at him; her mind was only on the food in front of her.

"Um..." Irisviel blushed and was too embarrassed to speak.

"Dad, you're not allowed to flirt with Mom anymore."

"There's no flirting here... You two are not allowed to say anything more, hurry up and eat."

"Huh—does Daddy actually look forward to us growing up?" Ilya asked innocently.

Shi Ying also looked at him with her big, innocent eyes.

"Do you two... want to end up like Frilline?"

"Huh? No, no!"

"Then eat your food properly!"

"Oh... Sakura, Daddy must have tacitly agreed."

"Ah."

"..."

After dinner, Shichen didn't take everyone out for a walk; instead, they watched TV together in the living room.

Saber wanted to go out and scout out the enemy's situation, since most Masters should already know something about her.

It's impossible for her fight with Lancer today to go unnoticed.

However, Shichen did not agree, refusing because she needed to rest after fighting for half a day. After all, with him there, there was no need to investigate the enemy situation.

There's nothing good on TV, and hardly any cartoons are worth watching, but the news is all reporting the same things.

[According to investigations, more than forty children have gone missing in Fuyuki City, but the police have still not solved the case...]

“Time of day, could this be?” Irisviel immediately sensed something was wrong.

“Yes, it was indeed done by a Servant.” Shichen nodded.

The seven Masters are not all legitimate magicians; some were simply chosen by the Holy Grail to fill the positions.

Shi Chen thought of that bloodthirsty Servant, a truly monstrous being, and that degenerate Master.
