In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"Let me out?"

Bazett's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that there was still a chance for things to turn around.

"No, we're sending you back to England to be dealt with there."

The police officer said seriously.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bazett's vision went black, and he immediately slumped weakly against the stool.

He muttered to himself, "How could this happen..."

My Holy Grail War is over... After much deliberation, Bazett looked at the police officer in front of her again. Was she considering whether to use suggestion magic to escape? But she knew very well that even if she hypnotized the police officer, it wouldn't change the fact that her actions today were recorded in her file. If she left, she might become a fugitive, making it even more difficult for her to move around.

What about a breakthrough?

If I had the strength, I could easily break through here.

But if she really assaulted a police officer, her life would probably be over.

So...

In the end how to do?

Bazett thought for a moment, but this desperate situation was probably the biggest problem she had ever encountered in her life. So, in order not to let her life end like this, she put her hands together and pleaded with the policeman in front of her with utmost sincerity.

"Um... could you please make an exception? I have very important things to do in the Far East. Is there really no other way?"

"I see..."

Upon hearing her words, the policeman stroked his chin, then pretended to think about it seriously for a moment before giving a very pertinent suggestion.

"If you don't mind, you can also ask the people you beat up for forgiveness and get their letters of understanding."

"what?"

The result was still the same...

Have they completely gone bankrupt?

Looking at the empty wallet and the suitcase that had completely disappeared.

Bazette slumped against the bench like a puppet with its strings cut, utterly dejected.

Although the police said they would help her find her lost items, who knows how long that will take.

She was also aware of the police's inefficiency.

That's her last possession, along with some magic props; losing it would be a huge loss.

Adding to the loss of several million yen from the recent compensation claim, she has already invested her entire life savings and can only hope that the Department of Law and Politics can reimburse her now.

So……

What should I do now?

Realizing her situation, Bazett looked at the bustling street in front of her and listened to the laughter and chatter of the crowd, but she only felt that it was a bit noisy.

The Holy Grail War hasn't even started yet, but everything seems to be over.

Next, she had to figure out how to survive in this bustling steel jungle without a single penny.

……

the other side.

"Well, the plan is going fairly smoothly. Thank you all for your hard work."

Inside the detention center, the police officer who had just released Bazett looked at the extras in front of him who were responsible for extorting Bazett and exclaimed in admiration.

After confirming that the other party had left, he paid each of them a large sum of money again to send them away, and then took the briefcase that should have belonged to Bazett.

That's right, not only the elderly man who staged the accident and these onlookers, but even the thief was arranged by him to set a trap for Bazett. Even the detention center was fake; after all, how could a police station be built right near an airport?

That guy was completely fooled by them and had no suspicions whatsoever.

He then picked up his phone and called Reines, who was still in London.

"Miss, the plan has succeeded."

He immediately reported the current situation, "The extras I arranged have extorted all her belongings and stolen her phone and suitcase. Now she can't contact the Legal Affairs Department no matter what, so please don't worry."

"Oh, it went so smoothly? That's quite unexpected. I had prepared more plans to play with her slowly, but it ended so quickly."

On the other end of the phone, Reines smiled upon hearing the good news, but to Sakura and Gray beside her, this kind smile seemed somewhat terrifying—it was the laughter of a little devil.

"Although he is powerful, he is adorably stupid when it comes to using the rules, making him a decent pawn."

"You did a good job, I already know about what happened over there. But..."

Completely unconcerned about her lapse in composure, Reines then issued new instructions.

"Now that we've confirmed she's no longer a threat, let's not alert her. Withdraw all those monitoring her and wait until I arrive before making use of her."

"clear."

Chapter 366 A Father for His Daughter

woohoo hoo...

The wind was strong in Fuyuki City today, and the early spring wind carried a chill.

But the Far East, having just barely emerged from the Great Depression, carries a burning passion—humanity's yearning for a better life. Similarly, it shouldn't be long before this city is bustling again, and physically so.

Walking on the street, lost in thought.

At a corner, suddenly...

"Oh no, my balloon!"

A girl's voice rang in his ears. Luo Wei, who was walking on the street, was attracted by the voice. He looked up and saw a red balloon flying slowly overhead.

He instinctively jumped up, then reached out and grabbed a red balloon string in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he saw a petite girl with snow-white hair, like an elf, running towards him. It seemed that she was the one who had just called out to her balloon.

Although she seemed to be in a hurry, she quickly stopped when she saw someone help her catch the balloon.

Upon landing, Luo Wei saw that beautiful, lively face and paused for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips. He returned the red balloon to the girl and said:

Here you go, but next time hold on tight and don't let the balloon fly away again.

"Ok!"

The girl, as beautiful as a snow child, nodded, then revealed her elfin smile. "Thank you, big brother. May I ask your name? Oh, no, Kiritsugu said that in the Far East, if you want to ask someone's name, you have to give them your own name beforehand, um..."

“My name is Illyasviel von Einzbern, you can call me Illya, big brother.”

“Ilya… um, I understand.”

Upon hearing this, Rowe smiled at her and then politely introduced himself, "Hello, Ilya. My name is Rowe Crowley. You can call me Brother Rowe or just Rowe. In terms of age, I'm not that much older than you."

After all, there's a ten-year time difference.

My body and mind are still stuck in my early twenties.

As for Illya and Rin Tohsaka, they are only teenagers now, so they haven't aged much.

Although I am still of a very high generation, I am really like an older brother in terms of age.

"Huh?"

Although she was already a teenager, Ilya's petite figure still made her look like a little girl. Hearing Luo Wei's words, she was somewhat surprised. Her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and she tilted her head curiously to carefully examine Luo Wei before smiling and saying:

"Big brother is lying."

Seeing this, Luo Wei simply shook his head without explaining or denying it. Although he was not old, he had experienced too much, so much so that his mental age was far beyond that of ordinary people. It was perfectly normal for him to look somewhat mature.

"Okay, I really am only in my early twenties, but if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."

Luo Wei continued, still smiling.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I sense a similar scent about my older brother to Kiritsugu."

"smell?"

"Yes, it's a very special flavor, so Ilya is familiar with it and likes it very much."

"And Ilya is only ten years old."

Are you only ten years old?

Upon hearing Ilya's words, Rowe's expression turned somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, Illya's age should be similar to Rin Tohsaka's, so why would she say she's twelve?

But upon hearing Ilya's words, Rowe suddenly realized that Ilya's personality from the moment she spoke until now was indeed that of a little girl. Combined with her youthful appearance, no one would doubt that she was ten years old.

However, due to preconceived notions, Lovi subconsciously assumed that Illya was too well protected by Kiritsugu Emiya because she had left the Einzbern family. Now it seems that things are not as simple as he thought.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of a surprise."

Luo Wei shook his head and continued to ask, "Did you only recently come to Fuyuki City?"

"Yes, I just arrived in Fuyuki City today, with Kiritsugu."

Ilya nodded, then seemed to remember something and smiled at Lovi, "By the way, Kiritsugu said that if you exchange names with strangers, it means you've become friends. Are we friends now, big brother?"

Lo Wei nodded.

"Yes, we are friends now."

“Okay! Hehe, then big brother will be Illya’s first friend. Kiritsugu and Mom told Illya before that it was hard to make friends, they were just lying to me.” Illya said with a smile.

"Your... mother?"

When Ilya mentioned her mother, Rowe couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Irisviel?

No, that's impossible.

Everyone can be resurrected, but she must have truly died.

The core of the Third Magic, the central hub of the Holy Grail, is the key that reverses everything; even the soul is obliterated. Unless the Holy Spirit personally creates a new one, it is absolutely impossible to resurrect her. But even if a new one is created, it will never be the same Irisviel as before.

So... who is Illya's mother?
