Recording conditions
1. Kill Ryunosuke Uesugi (Achieved)
[Record condition 1 has been achieved, reward obtained: ability parameter "durability" has returned to normal value! ]
【Durability D→C】
Accompanied by comfortable moans coming from within his body, Shuoyue stretched his body and felt that he had become much stronger.
"The conditions have been met, which also means..."
Looking up, the man named "Uzumaki Ryunosuke" had empty eyes, his fingers tightly grasped the knife, mechanically leaving scars on his body.
The blood had all flowed out, but there was still a stiff smile on his face.
It's like a ukiyo-e painting of crucifixion hell.
…Shuoyue withdrew his gaze speechlessly.
Although it is a good thing for the murderer to die early, it is a pity that he encountered such a thing when he first came to this world, and he killed his "savior" with his own hands... Although he will not regret it, he always feels a little uncomfortable.
It's like being splashed with mud by a passing tractor while wearing a freshly washed white shirt.
unlucky.
In that case... the young man turned his gaze and fixed his sight on the cliff not far away. His golden eyes lit up little by little.
In this case, let's use traditional arts to wash away the dirt on our bodies.
Facing the rising sun, the young man's eyes were bright and he began to run wildly towards the cliff.
Crossing the cool breeze, crossing the green ground, and opening my arms towards the clean blue sky—
“Wuhu——!”
With a loud shout of excitement, the white-haired young man jumped out and fell from a peak at an altitude of 4158 meters!
Behind him, a half-kneeling figure fell to the ground dejectedly, and the blood gradually dried up under the sunlight, like a broken red pomegranate.
The killer who loved cheetahs died.
The newly born eagle fell from the top of the mountain and uttered its first loud cry towards this beautiful world:
“The Leap of Faith!!!”
Five days later, the Zugspitze area
The north wind was howling, snow was all over the sky, and the temperature was hitting a new low. In this severe weather that even the German soldiers guarding the border could not stand, a figure crossed the border between Austria and Germany and invaded the no-man's land here.
This is a desert with few people, and at the same time, it is the border between mystery and the ordinary world.
In a building called "Winter City", the Einzbern family, a participant in the Fourth Holy Grail War and one of the three Holy Grail families, is sealed off from the rest of the world.
As the abnormal flow of magic power dissipated and the last magic base was removed, the golden-eyed young man Shuoyue stood up and wiped the non-existent sweat from his face.
"Huh... It's finally solved. The Einzbern family is indeed a great family with a thousand-year heritage. I'm afraid even the clan leader can't remember how many defensive barriers they have set up, right?"
Yes, after taking a leap of faith from the Jungfraujoch in the Alps, Shuoyue followed the trajectory of the spiritual vein, came to the vicinity of the Winter City, and began his stealthy infiltration activities.
For him who has read the plot, how could he not be interested in the Einzbern family and Kiritsugu PaPa who is currently staying here?
You know, this "partner of justice" is the adoptive father of the original body, and he is the ruthless man who chopped off the Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War.
As for why they didn't just use their invincible skills to kill their way into the City of Winter, but chose to sneak in using such a troublesome method, there is a reason for that.
Shuoyue raised his eyes, and the dark blue panel showed the past records.
That was the reward for achieving Angelica's record conditions.
[Hidden record condition 3* has been achieved, and the reward is: Replacement Magic·Change! ]
[Replacement Magic·Modified: A+]
[As one of the entry-level magics, it is a low-level basic magic based on the principle of degradation and exchange. Not many people use it. However, in the hands of a family that specializes in this art, the scale, precision, and application range of replacement magic are beyond common sense, and even touch upon vague concepts such as space and spirit.]
[Under the mysterious power, Shuoyue is like carrying a magic workshop with him, able to exert the power of substitution magic beyond normal, and even reach the incomprehensible "concept" level. ]
Compared to the original Replacement Magic, the Replacement Magic·Modified not only had a significant improvement in strength and precision, but also went beyond the realm of "knowing what it was" and reached the level of "knowing why it was" - in other words, the magical accumulation, theories and techniques of the Endsworth family over thousands of years had all become knowledge in Shuoyue's mind.
At this time, Shuoyue's knowledge of substitution magic was on par with Darius, the head of the Endsworth family for a thousand years. The only thing he lacked was sufficient practical experience.
The impregnable magic barrier of Winter City is the perfect opportunity for Shuoyue to practice.

Special note: Do not try the leap of faith (free fall) in the three-dimensional world!!
The impact of falling from a height can cause great damage to the human body. Neither haystacks (however, hay bales can reduce fall damage in the game) nor sponge pads can save you! Even if 119 lays a firefighting air cushion for you, it will not be of any use.
In the Assassin's Creed movie, before the protagonist's ancestor Aguirre jumped into the water from a high place, he first threw the throwing knives on his body into the water to cause the water waves to reduce the impact on himself. However, it is still extremely dangerous, so don't try it.
Natsuki Subaru, please ignore it.
Chapter 9 Einzbern's Little Princess
Let’s start with a certain man.
The man who was more idealistic than anyone else, but ended up in despair because of it.
That man's dream was simple.
I just sincerely hope that everyone can be happy.
Every teenager has had such a dream, but when they understand the cruelty of reality, they will give up and give up this childish ideal.
Happiness comes at the cost of sacrifice - this is a simple truth that all children learn as they grow up.
But that man was different.
When he realized that all lives in this world were placed on the scale of "sacrifice" and "redemption", and that it was absolutely impossible to clear either side...
He was determined to become the ruler of the scales.
In the snow-covered forest, the defensive barrier has been eroded to create a small passage, which is enough for anyone to sneak into this winter city without being noticed.
...if the intruder had a route map.
But unfortunately, Shuoyue did not have such a thing in his hand, so he chose a simple and crude way - following the trajectory of the spirit vein.
As the headquarters of the Einzbern family, the City of Winter was naturally built on the best spiritual veins in the Alps. This is common sense for magic families.
That is why, as long as we keep following the spiritual vein, we will reach the core sooner or later.
In the midst of the heavy snow, Shuoyue used replacement magic to "replace" and disrupt the alert part of the defensive magic circle, dispelling the mystery like breaking up building blocks, while thinking with a hint of complacency.
As an ordinary person in the ordinary world half a month ago, he was very satisfied with his decision.
However, the result of the action he was so proud of was an unexpected death.
"Rustle..." The little snow boots struggled to break through the thick white snow, and the little hands pushed aside the grass. A little Lolita wearing a purple felt hat and a purple dress looked around and slowly walked towards the direction of Shuoyue.
If it hadn't been snowing heavily today, obstructing vision, the girl would probably have discovered Shuoyue, the uninvited guest, at the first moment.
White teeth, big white teeth.
Shuoyue stared at the little creature in the snow forest walking towards him and silently reflected on himself.
He had indeed considered all the variables involved in magic, but the only thing he hadn't considered was the possibility of being discovered.
However, there is still a chance to escape. As long as he retreats before being discovered, Shuoyue can avoid the failure of infiltration.
Yes, as long as you can display a speed beyond the ordinary, you will be able to leave in style.
However, just when he was about to take action, the girl's face approached and made his movements stop as if the power went out.
The blood in his body seemed to flow backwards, and a trembling of excitement spread across Shuoyue's back. The emotions that did not belong to him were trembling, forcing Shuoyue to look directly at the small figure walking towards him.
Long silver hair, ruby eyes, purple dress, like a snow elf.
All these descriptions, in Sakutsuki's mind, in the body of Emiya Shirou, pulled out the same name -
Illyasviel von Einzbern.
He is the child of his adoptive father Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife Irisviel, and he is also Emiya Shirou's adopted sister - although Sakutsuki is much older than her in terms of height and age.
Perhaps it is the change brought about by the time traveler's memory. Even when facing relatives who do not belong to his own world line, this body still conveys a strong emotion of "joy", as if a person who has nothing, during his wandering journey, once again realized that he is not alone.
And at this moment, Illya finally discovered Shuoyue, the unknown "big brother".
There was no alert, no shouting. The girl with silver hair and snow-white skin looked at the tall white-haired young man and a surprised smile appeared on her face.
Although she was only six years old and couldn't even stand steadily, Illya still performed the ladylike etiquette of lifting her skirt and bending her knees. Then she stood up impatiently, her ruby-like eyes full of anticipation:
"Big brother, big brother, do you know what walnut sprouts are?"
Under Illya's expectant gaze, Shuoyue couldn't say "no" at all, so he could only smile bitterly and squat down: "You know, it's the new buds of the walnut tree, right?"
"Yeah, yes!" After receiving a positive answer, Illya laughed happily, "Hey, big brother, um, can you do Illya a favor?"
"Of course, go ahead.
“Come with me and look for walnut sprouts in the forest!” Illya clenched her fists and said with high spirits, “I must beat Kiritsugu in tomorrow’s game!”
So that's why you sneaked out today? No wonder no one else followed you... Shuoyue was silent for a moment, then smiled and stretched out her hand: "It's my pleasure, Your Highness, the Little Princess of Winter City."
However, his action of extending his hand seemed to make Illya misunderstand. She smiled happily, grabbed Shuoyue's arms with both hands, and climbed up Shuoyue's shoulders with a "hey hey hey" sound as if she was climbing a mountain.
Shuoyue's body shook slightly, but soon stabilized again.
The girl's petite and frail body was not as heavy as Shuoyue had expected. Holding her in his arms felt like scooping up a handful of fresh snow, as if it would fall with the slightest shake. She was so delicate that it was frightening.
Weighing less than fifteen kilograms... the young man quickly came to the conclusion.
The magical knowledge inherited from Endsworth made a ruthless judgment: this girl's body had long been adjusted, and was more like a carrier of some kind of object than a human being - her development would most likely stop in the early stages of secondary sexual characteristics.
Illyasviel... Her body embodies the fruits of the Einzbern family's millenniums, and also carries the sins of this family along the way.
“Let’s go, big brother!” Illya didn’t know what Sakutsuki was thinking. She sat down quickly and took a few breaths. Then she shouted excitedly, “Illya must beat Kiritsugu tomorrow!”
Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Shuoyue showed Illya the same gentle smile:
"Yes, my most lovely little princess, let's go~~"
"Wow, it's so high! Illya is flying——!"
The crisp, carefree laughter that belongs only to children echoes in the walnut forest filled with wind and snow.
"Big brother, what's your name?"
"Sakutsuki... No, just call me Shirou. At least here, you can call me that."
"Oh... So, Sakutsuki Shirou-sama, did you find the Kurumi Bud?"
"Look there, are those walnut sprouts?"
In the eyes of Shuoyue, who possesses the inherent skill [Clairvoyance: C], the new buds wrapped in snow are so clear.
"No, no, no? Wow, really! Shirou-sama is so awesome!"
"Haha, of course."
Amidst laughter and joy, Shuoyue and Illya slowly walked through the forest. In front of them, the majestic outline of the Einzbern castle was looming.
"This is the City of Winter..." The unfamiliar sigh caught Illya's attention, and her seven-year-old brain finally came to its senses.
"Could it be that Brother Shirou is not a member of Einzbern?"
The snow in the forest seemed to be getting heavier. After a while, the young man's joyful laughter rang out:
"You realized it so quickly, Illya is really smart."
"That's right, Illya is very smart!" The little girl sitting on Sakutsuki's shoulder proudly put her hands on her waist, and soon asked curiously, "I heard from Kiritsugu that the magician outside the castle can perform magic. Big brother, what about you? Can you throw fireballs? Or like Kiritsugu said, can you put a lot of things into a big pot and boil a magic potion that can turn into a rabbit?"
As if she had not expected this, Illya hadn't realized the problem yet. Shuoyue was stunned for a while before she laughed in relief:
“Hehe…hahahaha…Illyasviel von Einzbern, really, maybe the entire Einzbern family should thank you for being the first person to contact me.”
“???” The little girl tilted her head, with a lot of doubts in her little head.
However, Shuoyue's gaze was not on her, but he looked up at the snowy sky, as if talking to himself:
"Illya, do you think today's weather is too bad?"
"Shirou-sama doesn't really live here. It always snows here. But Kiritsugu said that the weather will get better tomorrow, right?"
"No need to wait until tomorrow."
