"Here... there is the same aura as the Master."

"..."

Ian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of Ibaraki Douji's first words.

"Ibaraki, are you saying that there is the same aura here as Illya's?"

Ibaraki Douji nodded first, then shook his head.

"Lord Abe."

"It's kind of like that... but not quite."

"..."

This is a very informative description.

Ian thought about it seriously - the man realized that this might be the key to solving the problem.

"Izuki, wait for me."

Ian quickly returned to Altria's side.

"Lily."

"Come here for a moment."

"..."

Although she didn't know what Ian meant by this, Altria nodded obediently.

She gently put Illya on the ground, then followed the man to the side.

"Mr. Ian, what's wrong?"

"Lily." Ian held the girl's hand, "Do you remember how you got in touch with Irisviel back then?"

"..."

The girl thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Actually, I don't know how I did it... because it was Ellie who approached me."

"She came to you on her own initiative?"

"Yes." Altria answered Ian while recalling the scene at that time.

That was the final battle on the Fuyuki Bridge.

"At that time...she said that she was trapped in the Holy Grail and had no way to leave, so she had to ask me for help."

"Holy Grail?"

Ian felt that things were getting closer and closer to what he understood.

"Lily"

“Can I understand your words as Irisviel speaking to you from the Holy Grail?”

"Maybe." Altria hesitated slightly.

"after all--"

"That's what she said at the time."

"..."

【You suddenly figured everything out.】

[It is no coincidence that Ibaraki Douji and Illya meet. 】

[All of this depends on the existence of the "Holy Grail"]

[This is definitely not your conjecture - you should know that Illya and Alice are mother and daughter.]

[At this moment, Ibaraki Douji felt a breath that was similar to the Master's, but completely different. ]

[This is most likely left by Irisviel! ]

[Combined with Altria’s memory——"Irisviel made the sound in the Holy Grail."]

[And the traces of magic along the way that have not dissipated even after ten years. ]

【So--】

[At this moment, there is a high possibility that the fragments of the Holy Grail that contain Irisviel's soul are still there in Yuanzang Mountain! ]

[This may be the chance for Irisviel and Illya to meet again.]

[There is no time to lose, you tell Altria exactly what you think. ]

"This……"

Listening to Ian's thoughts, Altria's face was full of surprise, but she had no way to refute it.

After all, she did feel that there were many similarities between Illya and Irisviel, but she had never considered what Ian proposed.

but--

The thoughtful girl soon realized the problem.

"Mr. Ian."

"Even if that's the case, what can we do?"

"Ally... is definitely dead."

"There's really nothing we can do."

Ian looked at the Berserker Ibaraki Douji who was playing with Illya.

The way she looked at her Master was clearly like that of a friend.

"but--"

"She might be able to do something."

"Mr. Ian...are you talking about Ibaraki?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "If it's her... maybe she can do something."

"after all--"

"She can sense all this, can't she?"

[Your hunch is indeed correct. ]

[Ibaraki Douji can indeed do more. 】

[Relying on the connection between herself and the Holy Grail, she quickly locked onto a certain location in Yuanzang Mountain again.]

[A miraculous phenomenon is waiting for you. 】

This is indeed the case.

Ibaraki Douji, whose whole body was covered in flames (this was the effect she had when she asked Illya for magic power), stopped again.

She looked at the bare area in front of her, stretched out her hand, and then made some gestures.

This is not something that Ibaraki Douji originally knew.

But -

"Abe-sama... I hope you can remember more things."

That's right.

This is the memory of Ibaraki Douji, a move from the Heian period.

It is also a lost skill of the Abe family.

At this moment, a miracle that transcends time has occurred in this Holy Grail War.

Only a blurry figure appeared in front of everyone.

That was the remaining will of Irisviel - she soon noticed Illya.

"Illya, why are you here?"

"mom!"

Illya yelled and ran straight towards where Irisviel was.

"Because I came to find you~"

"Really? Illya is amazing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Irisviel disappeared.

"Eh?!" The little Loli panicked when she touched the empty space.

"Why is mom missing?"

"There's too little left here." Berserker Ibaraki Douji grabbed Illya's hand.

"But, it doesn't matter."

"There are many places nearby - Master, I can show you all of them one by one."

"I'm sure I'll see her many times."

"Oh, okay!"

Looking at the Berserker group walking away hand in hand, Ian and Altria knew that this journey had achieved its purpose.

The forest of Yuanzang Mountain will be the place where mother and daughter will reunite.

only--

The girl also thought about the future

"Mr. Ian."

"Though it does allow Illya to see her mother now."

"But...what should I do next?"

"If you say that—"

Looking at Illya holding Ibaraki Douji's hand and acting coquettishly with Irisviel in the distance, Ian's expression was also somewhat touched.

"As for the future... I actually thought of a less reliable method."

"Is there ever a time when Mr. Ian is unsure?" Altria was a little surprised.

"of course."

The man looked at the girl next to him and smiled.

"Lily."

"What do you think about letting the Tohsaka family adopt Illya after the Holy Grail War is over?"

352. The wife wants to entrust Illya to him/Aho-Mao untied the knot/The truth (4k)

"..."

Altria moved her head little by little, and finally looked at the man next to her.

"Mr. Ian, are you serious about this?"

"Of course I'm serious."

In Ian's vision, Illya was holding Ibaraki Douji's hand, happily telling her about her life with her mother's will that remained on Mount Enzo.

"Illya has to go somewhere eventually, right?"

"and--"

The man looked at the girl beside him, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

"You've always felt guilty about Illya, haven't you?"

"..."

The girl tilted her head, her expression full of guilt.
