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

"Ok!"

Altria said nothing more but nodded.

However, Ian still noticed the girl's friendship towards Ellie - she didn't want her old friend to be so lonely.

After thinking for a moment, the man had an idea.

"In that case——"

"Mrs. Ellie, let's keep Illya here for one night."

"Stay here for one night?!" Upon hearing this, Alice became anxious.

"That's definitely not possible!"

"This is deep in the mountains and forests. If you leave the child here, she will be very scared!"

"No." Ian shook his head and looked away.

Ibaraki Douji clapped his hands expressionlessly - it seemed that he was praising Illya for introducing her mother just now.

"If you're here, she won't be scared anyway."

"Meanwhile, Ibaraki will stay with her."

"As for accommodation, the people here are very welcoming. Don't worry that Illya won't have a place to stay tonight."

“And—” The man looked at Irisviel again.

"Mrs. Ellie, you also wish you could talk to Illya for a while, right?"

"..."

Irisviel was stunned at first, then smiled calmly.

"You really are a very considerate person."

"In that case... let's do this."

Seeing that Irisviel agreed with his idea, Ian walked to Illya and Ibaraki Douji and whispered about the arrangements.

Illya was naturally very happy about this - she had always wanted to stay with her mother for a while longer.

Ibaraki Douji showed a puzzled look.

"What about you? Where are you going?"

This is a very reasonable doubt.

Ian didn't think too much and answered directly:

"I'm going to meet someone."

"so--"

"Ibaraki, Illya can only be taken care of by you."

This rather tactful tone seemed to have a significant effect on Ibaraki Douji.

Or rather, she had actually been looking forward to being asked this by Ian.

"I understand." Ibaraki Douji nodded, "I will take good care of the Master."

"but--"

"Can I make a small request?"

"Of course," Ian replied without hesitation, "It's your right."

"That--"

Ibaraki Douji walked forward a little, stood on tiptoe slightly, and stretched out his hands, like a kitten asking for a hug.

"Lord Abe."

"Can you... kiss me? I want to have the same experience as Shuten."

"..."

Although I found it a little difficult to understand the message hidden in Ibaraki Douji's words.

But looking at the expectant look on the little girl's face, Ian knew that he couldn't just be perfunctory.

He squatted down, hugged Ibaraki Douji, and then left a kiss on her forehead.

"Izuki, is this okay?"

Berserker's face suddenly turned red, and she began to sway from side to side as if she was drunk.

"Kohara... So this is what Shuten was talking about."

"Izuki, what's wrong with you?"

“Nothing!” Ibaraki Douji managed to stand up, “Sir Abe——!”

"Please go about your business without worry - Illya, I will take good care of you."

"..."

Although Ibaraki Douji's reaction seemed a little beyond his imagination, Ian needed her to be like this.

"Yeah." The man nodded.

"Izuki, I'll leave it to you then."

[You left behind Ibaraki Douji and Illya. ]

[Before leaving, you also prepared food and lodging for them tonight. ]

[It feels like you've left two little kids alone, but you're not worried at all.]

[Because you know that Ibaraki Douji, as a Berserker, will definitely be able to protect Illya - the relationship between them is still that between a Servant and a Master.]

【Everything is arranged properly.】

【But you find yourself facing a new problem. 】

[How can I get to Toosaka Rin as soon as possible? ]

Standing on the top of Mount Yuanzang, Ian felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

After all, when they came, it took them a lot of effort to get here.

If you want to go back now...

It really takes some time.

But at this moment, Altria, who was standing next to Ian, suddenly spoke:

"Mr. Ian."

"Are you thinking about how to get back quickly?"

"..."

Realizing there was no need to hide this from Altria, Ian nodded.

"Yes."

"If we want to go back now, it will take quite some time - I'm afraid Rin won't be able to wait."

Ian knew Toosaka Rin's personality.

She doesn't like waiting for others.

"Well, if that's the case—"

"Mr. Ian." The girl held the man's hand, "Do you want to try me?"

"Ah? Try you?"

"That--I mean, try my mount."

"I see..." Ian breathed a sigh of relief - he had thought that Altria was suddenly feeling something.

"I remember your mount is a white horse... Will it allow me to ride on it?"

"...I will." Altria's face flushed slightly.

"because--"

"It must recognize you."

"Anyway, let's give it a try!"

Saying this, Altria stretched out her hand forward.

White light flowed between her fingers and slowly gathered together.

When the thorns disappeared, a beautiful white horse appeared in front of the two men.

That is the legendary white horse Donstarion held by the Rider Altria!

"..."

Looking at Dongstallion in front of him, Ian's eyes gradually brightened.

He felt that he recognized the white horse.

The man subconsciously reached out and whistled softly.

Dongstallion's ears moved, then he turned around and saw Ian.

Suddenly, the white horse raised its front hooves and then let out a roar towards the sky.

Apparently, it recognized Ian!

"It really recognized me..." The man was somewhat moved by Altria's words.

"Of course—"

The girl's face became more and more shy.

"This is the horse Mr. Ian gave me!"

"..."

Ian felt his pupils tremble, and some of his lost memories were squeezed out like water from a sponge.

"Lily."

"If I remember correctly—"

"I also gave you a sword, right?"

"Eh?!" Altria's eyes lit up, "Mr. Ian, did you remember it?!"

White light once again gathered on the girl's hand - when it dissipated, a slightly old sword appeared in her hand.

That is the blade of mortals.

A gift from Ian.

"..."

Seeing how Altria treated this old sword as a treasure, Ian's heart was touched.

"Lily, you really treasure this sword."

"Of course!" Artoria tightly grasped the blade in her hand, "This is proof that Mr. Ian encouraged me!"

"..."

Ian recalled more images in his mind.

It's just that they are just some broken shots, and it's difficult to piece together a perfect enough process.

But it was enough to confirm some things—Altoria was indeed a very gentle girl.

The man reached out and touched Altria's head.

"I see."

"That--"

"Can I borrow your mount?"

"of course can!"
