The lady explained in a low voice, "They somehow found out that Sakura is a distant relative of theirs and sent her over on their own initiative. I didn't refuse because her attributes really match Sakura's."

What do they want?

"It's probably a method to summon heroic spirits, but the Edelfelt family didn't make any demands. They wouldn't be so naive as to think that such a small matter could achieve their goal. They're probably just hoping to use this to build a good relationship with us."

The Edelfelt family are distant relatives of the Tohsaka family, so it's normal that their magical crests could be passed on smoothly. However, their act of giving away the magical crest was nothing short of miraculous.

Because in the magic world, the Edelfelt family's reputation, while not exactly infamous, is certainly notorious.

Unlike other magician families with long histories, the Edelfelt family were just nouveau riche who made their fortune during the Renaissance by usurping secret arts and magical costumes.

They love to get involved in the world's conflicts and snatch away the most precious treasures of magic. Even their family precepts dictate that nobles should act like mercenaries; wherever something good is found, they will be among the people vying for it. They are known in the magic world as "the most beautiful hyenas in the world"—of course, people prefer to call them hyenas, and the preceding adjective is most likely something they added themselves.

However, the Edelfelt family did not see anything wrong with doing so. On the contrary, they proudly believed that the problem lay with those who could not keep the secrets safe, and that they were the ones who could manage and utilize them correctly.

For such a family to so readily relinquish their magic crest is bound to seem like a wolf in sheep's clothing. However, considering the uproar caused by the Einzbern family, it's actually not entirely unexpected.

Because in the past decade, not only the Edelfelt family, but almost no magic family has not coveted the Einzbern family's technology, whether it is their artificial human technology that surpasses all magicians, or the technology that can summon Heroic Spirits and keep them alive forever, all of which are things they cannot obtain.

But it's a pity.

Forcibly seizing this road is not an option.

The Einzbern family has existed for over a thousand years; if it were so easily robbed, they wouldn't have survived to this day.

Moreover, they now have two Servants protecting them, so the magician's magic is practically useless in their eyes.

If Alice hadn't hated trouble, and if these magician families hadn't actually done anything too extreme, she could have easily ordered her Servants to kill all the magicians in the Clock Tower. Even if Artoria would think that would violate chivalry, Moko didn't care so much.

In situations where violence is not an option, maintaining a good relationship with the Einzbern family, even if it involves feigning compliance, is essential.

While Irisviel wasn't an expert in the political maneuvering involved, she wasn't entirely ignorant either. During her time as head of the Einzbern family, she had always been adept at handling the subtly different attitudes of various factions.

"Hmm~"

Compared to Matou Sakura and Illya's joy at being reunited, Kallen seemed somewhat conflicted, unsure of how to address her.

Theoretically, she is Ilya's sister, so she should call him uncle.

However, when she was little, she always called him "brother," which was also at Kira Yoshikage's request.

But what if Illya gets angry if I really call him "brother"? Does that mean we have to call each other "brother"?

While she was struggling with her decision, time slipped away unnoticed, and now it would be awkward no matter what she said.

But if you don't speak up, the awkwardness will only continue.

In short, Karen is currently in a dilemma.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Yoshikage Kira did not blame her for her rudeness, but instead smiled and nodded at her.

"Where are Fujino and the others?" Kira Yoshikage asked.

He looked around but couldn't find Fujino and the Kohaku sisters.

"In Japan."

Irisviel put Ilya down and said softly, "They thought you might be in Japan, so they returned six months ago and have been looking for you ever since. I've contacted Haruno to help look after them. Should we tell them to come back?"

"Do not."

Yoshikage Kira thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I plan to go back to Japan next."

The clock tower is a school, but ultimately it is not his school.

It's already October, with just over two months left, so he won't waste too much time here.

“Is that so?” Irisviel murmured.

As expected, is Japan Kira-kun's home more like Einzbern than Einzbern?

It's okay, though Kira can't stay in Einzbern, Einzbern can go to Japan!

Since they no longer pursue the Third Law or cling to their past obsessions, is there any real meaning in staying in Europe? At least Irisviel doesn't think so; for her, being with her daughter and husband is the most important thing.

The clock tower and such didn't matter; Illya certainly wouldn't refuse to go to Japan with her. Sakura was the same; given her deep attachment to her husband, Irisviel even suspected that Sakura would abandon her without hesitation and elope with him!

As for Karen, she is an obedient and good child, and besides, it is said that her father is also in Japan.

It's a good time for us to reunite.

Reines is a bit stubborn, but she's not unmanageable.

At worst, we can just have Xiao Mo tie her up and bring her back, right?

The El-Melloi family lineage was of no concern to her; even if it were destroyed, it wouldn't affect her much.

not to mention.

Going to Japan doesn't mean I can't go back to Europe; I can come back occasionally for tourism. Besides that, is there anything else I need to consider?

Moving is no small matter; it will take some time to move the entire Einzbern family there.

However, if it's just a few of them, going to Japan first isn't out of the question.

Fortunately, the castle in Fuyuki City has remained intact and is ready for immediate occupancy.

Although Saber is the King of Knights, she has no attachment to the current situation, so it doesn't matter. Mordred will definitely leave with Saber, and everyone can leave together; there's nothing special to prepare.

Yes, perfect.

Irisviel nodded silently; her plan was truly flawless.

Now it all depends on when Kira-kun decides to leave, and then they'll set off together.

"Alice".

Irisviel snapped out of her daze and looked at Artoria with a puzzled expression. The latter gestured for her to look to the other side.

Irisviel followed her gaze and saw a noblewoman with soft, golden hair.

"Reines, come here quickly!"

Irisviel waved happily at her.

Ranis was initially hesitant, but when she saw that Irisviel treated her the same way as before, she couldn't suppress her emotions and obediently stepped forward to greet her softly:

"Miss Irisviel."

"Ok?"

Irisviel puffed out her cheeks slightly.

"..."

Reines remained silent for a few seconds, but finally couldn't resist her, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Sister Alice."

"Mmm~ So good~!"

Irisviel smiled and hugged her in her arms. The warmth of the embrace immediately made Reines realize that her self-righteous pretense was completely meaningless.

No matter what she does, Alice will believe her.

If even Alice is like this, how could Ilya not see through it?

If they all just see through it but don't say anything, how could the old relics in the clock tower really be fooled?

"I'm sorry, Alice," Reines murmured softly, her eyes filled with remorse.

"It's okay~, Reines has grown up and it's normal for her to have her own thoughts~!"

Irisviel smiled and stroked the girl's long hair, gently comforting her, and said with a smile:

"Besides, even if you want to apologize, you shouldn't apologize to me."

"I'm sorry, Ilya," Reines said, straightening her posture.

"It's Ilya!"

Ilya puffed out her cheeks and corrected, "I'm the older sister!"

"But Alice is my older sister~"

A sly glint flashed in Reines's eyes. "Then what should Ilya call me?"

Ilya's face turned red:

"You cheated!"

Seeing her daughter get the short end of the stick, Irisviel not only didn't help, but instead watched the show with a smile.

In a sense.

Reines is a true successor to her, being a similar type of cheerful and beautiful girl!

Chapter 261 I Picked It Up

Webber lay on the sofa, his shoes still on, casually resting his feet on the armrest. He held Nintendo's latest Switch console, playing the recently released Legend of Zelda game.

Although Webber still dislikes Japan to this day, he is a big fan of Japanese video games.

Without video games, Japan wouldn't even have any reason to exist in his eyes; that land only brings him painful memories.

To be fair, Japanese video games are indeed quite good.

Especially since the flow of time between the magic world and reality had just returned to normal, he was able to buy the game console and games that had just been released last year, which was a blessing in Webber's eyes.

Knock knock~!

The sudden knock on the door made Webber, who was engrossed in playing a game, frown slightly, but he still put his feet down, changed from a lying position to a sitting position, and leisurely called out:

"Come in."

He had expected them to be his students, especially the two prodigies, Sphinx and Fratt. Although most of the students in El-Melloi's classroom were geniuses, few could achieve the same level.

Although the Einzbern girls were more talented than him, their relationship with him wasn't particularly good. They never asked him any questions about magic, just as he never offered to teach them anything extra.

They came simply to learn, and I was simply teaching.

So at this time, the only students he could think of who would visit him were Sphinx and Fratt.

As for whether it could be someone other than a student?

Weber thought no, because besides students, there were only teachers. And among the teachers in the Clock Tower, some old men didn't knock at all, some would knock and shout their names, but no one would simply knock.

However, when he finally saw the person's face clearly, he was somewhat taken aback. It wasn't a student or a teacher, but a parent.

Weber jumped up from the sofa, looking somewhat nervous.
