In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"Mr. Ian, you are right."

"If I had been stronger at that time... maybe this wouldn't be the result now."

"This has nothing to do with being powerful or not, Lily."

"You've worked hard."

The man hugged Altria tenderly and stroked her head gently, hoping to ease her worries.

"Let's go over and see how it goes."

"Go and take a look?" Altria raised her head with a look of surprise.

"Mr. Ian, this is..."

"Take me to meet your good friend." The man smiled slightly, "I haven't met her yet."

Without waiting for the girl to respond, Ian took her directly towards Illya.

He knew that if he didn't meet Irisviel now, there would be an indelible shadow in Altria's heart.

[You walked over with Altria.]

[Because he was summoned by Illya, Ibaraki Douji not only has excellent abilities, but also has strong adaptability. ]

[You two met Irisviel.]

As soon as they met, Altria became a little nervous.

She found it more difficult to face Irisviel than she had imagined.

after all--

Whenever she sees that face, the Knight Girl will recall her failure in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

That was something difficult to talk about, and even with Ian's comfort, it couldn't be changed.

But what Altria didn't expect was that when she was still hesitating about how to start the conversation, Irisviel took the initiative to talk.

"Lily."

"You're here too?"

Irisviel's tone was so gentle, yet so cheerful, as if she had no idea that she was dead.

but--

Even so, Altria still didn't dare to answer her.

But Irisviel didn't seem to want to give up on her friend just like that.

Soon, she called the other person's name again:

"Lily, we haven't seen each other for only ten years, don't you recognize me?"

"Oh, the dead are really easy to be forgotten."

Once these two sentences were spoken, they clearly showed Irisviel's state of mind at the moment.

She knew she was dead.

but--

The Einzbern lady was not depressed by this.

On the contrary, she was quite happy to be able to meet her old friend.

Altria's eyes became moist.

Since the day she saw Illya, she had been wondering if Irisviel would hate her.

I clearly said I would protect her life, but in the end...

But now it seems——

Irisviel had no complaints about this.

Even at this moment of death, she still regarded herself as her best friend.

"Nothing like that." The girl wiped her eyes, "How could I forget you, Ellie?"

"Then why didn't you say anything just now——!"

Irisviel supported her hips with her hands, pouted, and looked unhappy.

"I thought you had forgotten me after not seeing me for ten years, Lily!"

"It's just that I'm not used to it for the moment." Altria felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, it turns out that seeing dead people is still very uncomfortable."

Irisviel made her own joke.

"But... Lily, I'm glad to see you here~"

"Me too!" Altria responded immediately.

"That's good." Irisviel smiled slightly.

"Oh, right!" The wife's eyes fell on Ian standing beside her, "This is..."

"Eh……"

Altria's expression became somewhat embarrassed—she really didn't know how to describe her current relationship with Ian.

[Despite that late-night date, your relationship with Aldtoria is still somewhat awkward.]

[However, you still remember her reaction to the misunderstandings of the local residents along the way.]

【You realize that she actually wants to be treated specially for once. 】

【Why not do this? 】

The girl was still hesitating on how to answer her former friend's question, but she felt her hand being gently held.

She turned her head and saw Ian smiling.

Suddenly, Altria realized that he was using his actions to "explain" the relationship between them.

To be fair, the girl felt that perhaps this shouldn't be done.

but--

Looking at the two people holding hands, Altria found that she was reluctant to let go.

After all, there's no one else here.

There's nothing wrong with doing this...right?

The girl's little thoughts are fully reflected at this moment.

And all of this was seen by Irisviel.

"Oh~" She nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is."

"Then I totally understand—!"

"What's your name?" Lisifal looked at the man and asked.

"Ian."

Irisviel became even more excited now.

"So you're the person Lily has been talking about!"

"So handsome! No wonder Lily kept telling you stories all day and all night long! Oh, now I understand even better!"

"..."

Ian laughed, but Altria was already extremely embarrassed.

"Ellie!"

"Please stop talking! If you continue... I won't be able to face Mr. Ian."

“Okay, okay~” Irisviel shrugged, “I really can’t do anything about you.”

"Let's end this topic here."

"but--"

"There's a new topic."

Irisviel's gaze fell on Illya beside her, and her eyes quickly changed from the joke between best friends to the concern of a mother for her child.

"How did you... bring Illya to find me?"

[This is nothing worth hiding.]

[You decide to confess the whole process to Irisviel.]

"..."

Irisviel looked at Illya, who was happily introducing her mother to Berserker, and her expression became complicated for a moment.

"In order to find me, Illya actually summoned Berserker and participated in this Holy Grail War?"

"Yes." Ian nodded.

"This child's longing for you...is far deeper than you can imagine."

"So you brought her here?" Alice continued to ask.

"You can't say it's us."

Ian looked at the road the group had come from - because of Ibaraki Douji's roasting, there was now some black charred matter on the ground.

"It was you, Mrs. Ellie, who shouted to Lily that brought us here."

"In a sense... you brought Illya to you."

"..."

Irisviel was silent at first, and then she started laughing, with an air of her own that was quite similar to that of her own daughter.

"Ian, you are really good at talking."

"No." Ian shook his head, "I'm just telling the truth."

"correct."

"Mrs. Ellie... I came here because I want to ask for your opinion on something."

"It's about how to accommodate Illya, right?" Irisviel said.

"Hey, Ellie, do you already know?" Altria was very surprised.

“I guessed it.”

Irisviel's eyes swept over the two of them.

"after all--"

"You who can do this must all be Servants."

"You will leave Fuyuki City sooner or later - and Illya can't do that."

Perhaps realizing that this was not a good idea, Irisviel quickly returned to her previous lively tone.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Having said this, Ian no longer beat around the bush.

"Mrs. Ellie."

"We plan to have the Tohsaka family adopt Illya after this Holy Grail War is over."

"The Tohsaka family?"

Irisviel paused, as if she remembered something.

"Is its owner Tōsaka Tokiomi?"

"That..." Altria answered carefully, "He is dead."

"I know...it looks like they are from the same family."

Irisviel's tone became a little worried.
