It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

"Wait, if Galahad had no desires, then why would he respond to the call of the Holy Grail and appear in the world as a young girl?"

Emiya Shirou asked.

"That should be possession, but you are right. Galahad should not be able to summon the present world by normal means. Maybe the so-called [Chaldea] used some special means."

Toosaka Rin naturally didn't know the inside story, but now was obviously not the time to worry about it.

"Although I really want to rush to that unknown snowy mountain to fight the final boss, I think it's better to take a rest today and have the final battle tomorrow. What do you think?"

Toosaka Rin looked at everyone and said.

Although she was very excited and wanted to run to that strange-looking snow mountain to meet Xue Yue right away, everyone was not in a good state now.

Especially Lancer, the wound on his left arm had been temporarily stopped from bleeding with healing magic, but it still had some impact on the battle. Besides, everyone had already consumed a lot of magic power in the previous battle, and it would be an unwise choice to continue fighting without resting.

Everyone basically thought the same, so soon everyone agreed with Toosaka Rin's opinion.

"Then let's go to Shirou's house for dinner and have some rest."

Toosaka Rin took it upon herself to establish a resting spot.

"Hey, Toosaka..."

Emiya Shirou felt helpless.

"It's okay. After all, Shirou, you are a very good cook."

Saber also gave her affirmation.

-------------------------------------

Emiya residence.

"..."

Mashu was stunned at the sight before him.

It’s not that she saw anything extremely bizarre, no, this incident may have shocked the girl to some extent.

That thing was nothing but more than ten rice bowls stacked up next to Saber.

How should I put it? The majestic Knight King turned out to be a girl who was keen on eating. This contrast really shocked Mashu.

But if you think about it carefully, Saber is much more normal than the weird Servants she encountered in the previous singularity. She can only eat a little, which is nothing at all.

With this in mind, Mashu quickly accepted this setting.

"Hey, kid, is there any wine here? It would be a real bummer if there is no wine with such delicious food!"

Shirou Emiya looked at the blue spearman yelling at him, feeling somewhat helpless:

"I'm talking to you. You're already injured and you're still drinking..."

"What are you talking about, kid? Wine is a better way to heal wounds!"

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

"I also think that it would be better to have some wine in this kind of occasion~"

Bazette echoed.

"How come even you, Bazette..."

Shirou Emiya could only sigh, as expected, these two were the same Master and Servant, the excellent matching mechanism was not without reason.

"Okay, okay, there's no wine at home. I'll go out and buy some. But I'll only buy low-alcohol wine. If you drink too much, it won't affect tomorrow's battle..."

Seeing this, Emiya Shirou had no choice but to go to the entrance to change his shoes and prepare to go out.

When Emiya Shirou was ready, he opened the door, only to see two figures that shouldn't be there.

"Hello~"

They were the purple-haired girl and the white-haired girl.

"..."

Shirou Emiya closed the door silently. He suddenly became suspicious. He clearly didn't drink any alcohol and hadn't even bought any. How could he be so drunk and have hallucinations?

Shirou Emiya slowly opened the door again. Illya and Yuki Sakura outside the door still had the same smile on their faces as before.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't a Master who was defeated in the Holy Grail War seek refuge in the church?"

When Shirou Emiya went to the church to understand the rules of the Holy Grail War, the nun had indeed said so. And Shirou Emiya glanced at the girls' hands, and there was indeed no trace of the Command Seals on them.

"Ah~ But the church is too quiet, and that nun is not interesting at all. It's more lively here."

Illya shrugged, looking bored.

"So, you are here..."

In response to Emiya Shirou's question, Xueying answered succinctly:

"Have a meal."

Ah this...

The actions of the two girls really gave Shirou Emiya no idea what was going on. Why would an enemy not long ago come over and eat for free as if nothing had happened?

"Shirou, why haven't you left yet? Are you in any trouble?"

She heard Toosaka Rin's voice behind her. She happened to stand up and walk by. She saw Emiya Shirou, who should have already left, still standing in front of the door, so she asked curiously.

"Well... look at this."

Shirou Emiya felt like he didn't know how to explain it, so he turned sideways and made half a move so that Toosaka Rin could see Illya and Yuki Sakura outside the door.

"Hi~ Toosaka Rin-sister~"

Illya smiled sweetly and waved at Toosaka Rin.

"This is……?"

Toosaka Rin was also quite confused and asked with a bit of caution.

"They said... they came here to eat for free..."

Emiya Shirou uttered this rather speechless answer.

Chapter 168 Memories

"..."

Almost the same expression appeared on Toosaka Rin's face.

"Forget it, they are classmates from the same school anyway, let them in..."

"Excuse me~"

Illya and Xueying responded and went into the house.

The other people in the room were also surprised, but even Saber, who was most likely to object, did not say anything at this moment. Bazette and Lancer did not mind having two more people at the dinner, and instead said things like "it will be more lively this way"; Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu would not refuse the addition of two new people either.

But everyone still has a lot of doubts.

"So, what exactly are you planning to do?"

The question was finally asked by Toosaka Rin.

"Sister Rin, your question is very vague. We just did what we wanted to do."

Illya tilted her head.

"Uh... For example, in today's battle, it seemed that you had completely abandoned the stronghold of Einzbern Castle and simply let two Servants die. If you wanted to win the Holy Grail War, you shouldn't have done that."

"I see. Does this confuse Sister Rin?"

Illya smiled with a confused look on her face.

"The answer is actually very simple. Rider and Assassin both wanted a hearty battle, so we fulfilled their wishes. Because, we don't actually have any wishes for the Holy Grail~"

Illya said as she took a piece of meat from the pot and stuffed it into her mouth:

"Yeah, delicious!"

"It seems like you are in the same camp as Miss Xueyue?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked a question.

"That's right. Based on the extent of your intelligence search, you should have known it long ago. And Miss Fujimaru Ritsuka, haven't you already met Sister Xue?"

"Then do you know what Miss Xueyue is doing?"

"I don't know. We don't need to know. We trust Sister Xue very much~"

Xueying had no objection to this.

"Even if Miss Xueyue is very likely doing something that affects the world, does it matter?"

"Even if that's the case, we will stand on Sister Xue's side."

Xueying answered without hesitation.

"If Xueyue is really doing something that threatens the world, then you two can be said to be potential enemies."

Bazette's expression was serious.

"I don't deny that, but the premise is that there is such a thing. Put away your plan, Miss Bazette. You [will not] do anything here."

Illya drank a glass of orange juice and continued,

"In my opinion, this is just a [test]~ But let me ask you, if Sister Xue really wants to destroy the world, what will you do?"

"Although we really don't want to fight Miss Xueyue, if she really does do something horrible like that, we will definitely stop her!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said firmly.

"..."

Illya was silent for a moment.

"What a pity... If you really want to fight, you have no chance of winning... If you really want to fight, please be fully prepared~"

Illya stood up with a devilish smile.

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality, we won't bother you any more~"

Illya and Xueying left without staying for long, as if they really just came to have a meal.

But even after the two of them left, the mood among the crowd seemed to have changed a little.

"I wanted to say this before. Maybe Miss Xueyue is someone I met ten years ago."

Saber, who seemed to have eaten her fill, spoke.

"Saber, you also met her, ten years ago. Could it be that...?"

Emiya Shirou thought of something.

"Yes, ten years ago, it was the Fourth Holy Grail War. I was also summoned to this era as a Saber-class warrior. In that war, my Master was Emiya Kiritsugu. To be exact, it was Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel von Einzbern."

"It's actually Dad..."

Toosaka Rin discovered something and suddenly said:

"Wait, Einzbern... so that means..."

"Rin, you guessed it right. Illyasviel is the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel."

Saber confirmed Toosaka Rin's guess.

"And Ms. Xueyue, as a Master, also formed an alliance with Emiya Kiritsugu during the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"I didn't expect there was this layer of relationship... I originally thought that the relationship between Illya and Xueyue was just because Xueyue was the head of the Einzbern family."

"Perhaps the Einzbern family and Miss Xueyue have reached some kind of agreement. I am not sure about this, but the Einzbern family is a family of artificial humans, and Miss Xueyue is undoubtedly a human being."

"As for Miss Xueyue ten years ago, judging from the outcome, she would not have done anything that would harm the world. On the contrary, at the end of the Holy Grail War ten years ago, there was an external factor that was enough to threaten the world. It was a strange plant-like creature. With the help of Miss Xueyue, we finally defeated it."

"But this is just what I saw during the short period of time during the Holy Grail War ten years ago. Time can change many people, and I can't be sure whether she will encounter any changes in the past ten years and join the camp of destroying the world."

Saber suddenly remembered something and continued to add,

"Also, the location of the decisive battle with that creature happened to be by the lake of Yuanzang Mountain."
