Another said, "What? What future husband? Don't talk nonsense! He's just a servant!"

One said: "Even if you are a Servant, aren't you worried about being snatched away? Look at this little girl, she keeps calling you 'big brother'. Your Servant is almost lost in the confusion!"

Another said, "You, you have a point. I'm just worried that my Servant will be taken away. It has nothing to do with 'future husband' or anything like that!"

So, after a fierce ideological struggle, Toosaka Rin said: "Why don't you ask me what I want to eat."

Tosaka Kiyoshi rolled his eyes: "I know what you like to eat, do I need to ask?"

Toosaka Rin was stunned at first, thinking that this was different from what she had expected, but then she felt that Toosaka Kiyoshi's answer was just right, showing the familiarity between the two of them.

So Toosaka Rin looked at Illya proudly, with an expression as if saying "Look how good my relationship with this guy is. He even remembered all the things I like to eat."

However, Illya ignored her and followed Kiyoshi Toosaka into the kitchen to help.

This made Toosaka Rin feel like she had punched cotton, and she felt very uncomfortable.

So Toosaka Rin followed Toosaka Kiyoshi into the kitchen.

Altria sat there and waited for a while before she reacted. She asked the Master and the Master's Master to go to the kitchen to cook. She just waited to eat, which seemed a bit unpleasant.

So Altria also squeezed into the kitchen.

There were four people crammed into the tiny kitchen, and it was difficult to even move, let alone cook.

Finally, Kiyoshi Toosaka couldn't bear it anymore and pushed the three people's backs and pushed them out of the kitchen.

"No one of you is allowed to come in until the meal is ready!"

As the words fell, there was the sound of the kitchen sliding door closing.

Only three people were left standing at the door, looking at each other.

Chapter 26: This is what tsundere is like

In the living room of the Toosaka family, everyone else had already filled their stomachs, leaving only Altria, dealing with the food on the table as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

At first, Toosaka Rin blamed Toosaka Kiyoshi for doing too much, but now she admires Toosaka Kiyoshi's foresight.

At Altria's current speed, it wouldn't take long to clean up all the food on the table.

Tousaka Kiyoshi turned his head away from Tousaka Rin who was staring at Altria: "Okay, let's leave Saber to herself. It's time for us to explain the current situation to Illya."

Illya, who was sitting next to Tosaka Kiyoshi, looked up and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Toosaka Rin wanted to scare Illya, so she said in a threatening manner: "Of course, it's about how to deal with you, the Master of Berserker!"

Illya was completely unmoved and nodded calmly: "Oh, do you want to fight? Although I don't really want to fight in the daytime, if you insist on doing this, Rin, I will accompany you to the end. My Berserker is the strongest!"

"Damn it! You little brat! Why aren't you afraid at all when you come to another magician's territory alone?!"

Illya smiled and said, "Rin, do you really think I'm the little girl I look like? Don't forget, the Einzbern family is best at creating artificial humans. In fact, I'm older than you, Rin. How about you call me sister? Then I'll indulge Rin's bad taste and pretend to be scared and hide in the arms of my big brother."

Toosaka Rin was stunned, then subconsciously retorted: "Since you are older than me, you still call this guy 'big brother'? You have no shame at all! And you still have this figure after so many years, you can only use childish cuteness to please men!"

Illya's face darkened at first, and then she immediately retorted: "Why can't I call you big brother like that? Do you know that big brother is older than me?"

Only then did Toosaka Rin realize that the dream she had these past two days in which she was Toosaka Kiyoshi's sister was too real. She subconsciously thought of Toosaka Kiyoshi as her brother, so she said that.

When Illya saw that Toosaka Rin's face was not right, she thought she had hit the mark and immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Besides, I won't use childish cuteness to get close to men. Nowadays, many men like petite girls like me."

Toosaka Kiyoshi nodded and agreed: "That's right, people like Illya are still called legal lolita, and there are many people who like them on the Internet."

Toosaka Rin waited and glanced at Toosaka Kiyoshi: "Anyone who likes girls with this body type must be a pervert! We can arrest them all and shoot them one by one without killing any good person!"

Kiyoshi Tousaka felt offended, but in order to protect his innocence, he chose to remain silent.

Illya said, "Isn't it also a testament to my charm that I can lure others into committing crimes?"

Toosaka Rin didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Illya, so she tried to change the subject.

"Come to think of it, you don't even know your 'big brother's' name right now?"

After saying this, Toosaka Rin raised a triumphant smile.

Illya looked up at Tosaka Kiyoshi and said, "I am sorry that you still don't know your big brother's name. So what is your big brother's name?"

"Tousaka Kiyoshi." Tousaka Kiyoshi answered truthfully.

"Toosaka Kiyoshi..." Illya muttered the name silently, then turned to look at Toosaka Rin.

Toosaka Rin put her hands on her hips, looking very proud: "It seems that you have discovered something too? He and I have the same last name."

Illya pounded her hands: "Oh! I understand! Big brother is the ancestor of the Tohsaka family!"

Toosaka Rin almost bumped her head against the cabinet next to her.

"No!" Toosaka Rin raised her head, "He is mine, mine..."

Toosaka Rin's cheeks turned slightly red. She originally wanted to say that Toosaka Kiyoshi was her future husband, but when the words came to her lips, she was too embarrassed to say a word.

When she said this, it was as if she was confessing her love to Toosaka Kiyoshi!

This is what is meant by tsundere ruining one's life. Not taking the lead when you should, and giving up on a good opportunity to assert your sovereignty because of shyness.

"yours?"

Under Illya's questioning, Toosaka Rin had a flash of inspiration, and thought of the extremely realistic dreams she had had in the past two days, so she spoke casually.

"He is my brother!"

"Brother?" Illya looked between Tosaka Kiyoshi and Tosaka Rin in confusion. "As far as I know, the previous head of the Tosaka family only had two daughters. One was Rin, and the other was sent to the Matou family when she was young. I have never heard that the Tosaka family has a little son."

Toosaka Rin turned her head and said, "This is the private matter of the Toosaka family. It is not convenient to disclose it to outsiders."

Illya stopped asking questions and looked at Tosaka Kiyoshi, as if asking, "Is what she said true?"

Tousaka Kiyoshi nodded: "Rin is indeed my sister."

When Toosaka Rin heard Kiyoshi Toosaka cooperate with her, she felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. Then she thought, "Kyoshi Toosaka is her servant, and it is her duty to cooperate with her," and she suppressed this hint of sweetness with a reasonable reason.

Illya nodded: "I see, it seems that I really need to change my name."

Before the corners of Toosaka Rin's mouth could rise, Illya said, "Sister Rin, it was my fault just now. You won't blame me, right?"

The corners of Toosaka Rin's mouth froze. She didn't want Illya to call Toosaka Kiyoshi brother, not to call her sister!

Illya continued, "Since I've been moving around with such a small body, my mental age is much younger than my actual age, so after considering it, I think it's better to call Rin 'Sister'."

Toosaka Rin stared at Illya. No one would believe such a thing! How could someone who used his appearance to his advantage have a younger mental age?

But since Illya had said so and lowered her head to call her sister, it would be ungentlemanly for her to hold on to her.

Seeing that the argument between the two had come to an end, Tousaka Kiyoshi knocked on the table and reminded Tousaka Rin: "Rin, it's time to get down to business."

Toosaka Rin glared at Illya, as if to say, "We'll compete later."

Illya smiled, as if to say, "I'll stick with you till the end."

But soon Illya was no longer as calm as she is now.

Toosaka Rin narrated and Toosaka Kiyoshi supplemented, slowly telling the story of how Emiya Kiritsugu discovered that the Holy Grail was contaminated ten years ago.

Some things that the Einzbern family had never told Illya were heard by Illya for the first time.

Only then did she understand what her father had been through, and that there was such a thing as the evil of this world in the Holy Grail.

But compared to the evil in this world that could affect the entire world, she cared more about other things.

Chapter 27: Reckless, but not completely reckless

Kiritsugu Emiya's story completely broke down Illya's outward defense. She asked Tousaka Kiyoshi with tears on her face, like a helpless child.

“Even if it’s like this, even if it’s like this, even if Kiritsugu has unspeakable difficulties, he shouldn’t have stayed away from visiting me for so many years! Big brother, please tell me, Kiritsugu has abandoned me and doesn’t want me anymore! Illya is a child that no one wants! Please tell me!”

Tosaka Kiyoshi sighed, "I'm sorry, Illya. Emiya Kiritsugu didn't abandon you. After the Holy Grail War, he went to the Einzbern family more than once, trying to take you out of there. But he failed in both negotiation and infiltration. To the Einzbern family, Emiya Kiritsugu is a loser, and they will not meet the demands of a loser."

Illya collapsed and yelled, "No! I don't believe it! This is not true! You must be lying to me!"

Tousaka Kiyoshi continued, "If you don't believe me, Emiya Kiritsugu's adopted son, Emiya Shirou, can testify to this when he was a child. Every once in a while, Emiya Kiritsugu would go on a long journey, and the Emiya family might be able to find the plane ticket that Emiya Kiritsugu bought."

Illya covered her ears and shook her head in protest: "No, no! I don't want to hear it! Shut up!"

Tousaka Kiyoshi remained unmoved.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, who was contaminated by the evil of this world, was not in good health. He was like an old man in his twilight years, and it was very difficult for him to travel far away. Under such circumstances, he still insisted on visiting the Einzbern family every once in a while, just to see Illya."

"So, although Emiya Kiritsugu is not a good father and husband, he definitely did not abandon Illya. Illya is not an unwanted child."

Illya looked at Tosaka Kiyoshi blankly: "But, if the truth is like this, then what exactly have I hated and resented all these years? If Daddy has never abandoned Illya, but Illya has always hated Daddy, then is Illya a bad kid?"

Toosaka Kiyoshi reached out and ruffled Illya's long silver hair: "In a family, conflicts of one kind or another are inevitable. As long as Illya knows that she has done something wrong and corrects it seriously, she is a good child. As for the misunderstandings and unhappiness in the past, let them be blown away by the wind along with the truth that is revealed. Life should focus more on the future rather than dwelling on the past."

Illya lay in Tousaka Kiyoshi's arms and wiped her tears with Tousaka Kiyoshi's clothes: "Big brother, I understand now. It turns out that those things that I thought I had lost have always been with Illya. Illya is also a child loved by her parents. Knowing this, Illya is already extremely satisfied. In the next Holy Grail War, Illya will listen to big brother! Illya no longer needs the Holy Grail!"

Looking at Illya's eyes that were so attached that they almost showed the word "conquered", Toosaka Kiyoshi sighed in his heart: Look, how easy it is to deceive a child who lacks love... No, how easy it is to comfort him!

When Toosaka Rin heard Illya say this, a shocked expression appeared on her face. She never expected that she just wanted to explain the situation of the Holy Grail to Illya, but Illya became her own person.

This world is so magical!

Toosaka Kiyoshi was somewhat thankful that Illya was the anchor he was looking for, which created an ambiguous connection between the two of them. Otherwise, he would not be able to get close to Illya at all, and even if he had a quick strategy, he would not be able to use it.

Tosaka Kiyoshi patted Illya on the back and asked, "Does Illya still need to go find Emiya Shirou to prove the truth of the story?"

Illya shook her head: "Since Dad didn't abandon Illya because he favored her, there is no need for Illya to see him."

"So Illya has always thought that Kiritsugu abandoned you because he liked Emiya Shirou more. It sounds like the thoughts of a child when he is upset."

Illya's cheeks turned red. She had long known that she had a childish mentality. She didn't feel anything about it before, but now she felt ashamed.

Toosaka Rin looked at the scene of deep brotherly love in front of her and couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.

So he coughed twice and said, "Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved and Illya has agreed to form an alliance with us, let's discuss how to proceed."

Illya then recalled the part she had just overlooked—the evil of this world that was enough to affect the entire world.

Considering her limited life, a method from family records gradually emerged in her mind.

Looking at Tosaka Kiyoshi's profile, Illya gradually made up her mind.

Since he would die anyway after the Holy Grail War, he might as well use the last moments of his life to help his elder brother achieve his goal.

In this way, big brother will never forget her no matter what!

Illya secretly glanced at Toosaka Rin and felt proud.

There is a saying that goes, a person who cannot be defeated no matter what is dead. She wants to be the girl that her big brother will never forget!

Thinking of this, Illya said with a smile: "I didn't agree to form an alliance with Lin. I only listen to my big brother. Don't even think about ordering me around."

Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth: I'll endure it!

Anyway, Kiyoshi Toosaka is her servant, so there is no essential difference between Illya listening to Kiyoshi Toosaka and listening to her.

Tosaka Kiyoshi ruffled Illya's hair and said, "Illya, you are older than Rin, so just give way to her."

Illya nodded obediently: "Then I will ignore Rin for my big brother's sake."

Toosaka Rin looked at the scene in front of her, her back teeth almost broken: "You guy! Who are you siding with?"

Toosaka Kiyoshi sent a message to Toosaka Rin: "Illya is still immature, Rin, don't bother with her, just treat her like a child."

Perhaps it was Toosaka Kiyoshi's whisper that worked, and Toosaka Rin's emotions gradually stabilized.

Seeing this, Tousaka Kiyoshi got down to business: "I think that now that we have the help of Berserker, strategies and tricks are not suitable for Berserker. Let's just rush in and attack the Matou family head-on tonight. It would be best if we can capture Matou Sakura. This way, everything will be much simpler."

Toosaka Rin thought about the strength of Assassin and Rider from the information provided by Toosaka Kiyoshi, then looked at her own lineup, and suddenly her mind went blank.

What's the plan with such a big advantage? How can we lose when the dragon hits our face? Just rush and it's over!

Tousaka Kiyoshi then continued, "Right now, no one knows about our alliance with Illya, so tonight, let Illya command Berserker to lead the charge and let Matou Zouken think that the enemy is only Berserker. Saber and I will wait for the opportunity to act."

Although you have decided to take a reckless approach, you still need to plan how to do it in advance.
