"Yes, you can rest assured, but Rudy..."

Senis sighed deeply, clearly indicating that she was very worried about Rudius.

"Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on him."

Shirou smiled and said, "No matter what happens, I will do everything in my power to protect this family."

"Shirou..."

Senis looked at the boy with the gentle smile, and a slight smile also appeared on her lips.

She gently pulled Shirou into her arms and let the boy rest his head on her lap.

At first, Shirou was not used to this embarrassing position, but gradually he lost his resistance and even fell asleep on Senis's lap.

As a child raised by Kiritsugu Emiya, he had almost no memory of his mother, nor did he know that his mother's warmth was something so comforting.

Although he had always tried to treat Senis as his mother, it was only at this moment that he truly felt a mother's love and realized that he had been fantasizing about such warmth all along.

In his dream, he returned to the Emiya residence after a long absence and found a silver-haired girl standing in front of him.

He was initially confused by the unfamiliar girl, but then he immediately realized that this was the memory of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, and the girl in front of him was named Illya from the Heroic Spirit Emiya's memories.

In Emiya's memories, he learned a shocking fact during the Holy Grail War: Illya was Kiritsugu Emiya's daughter, and also his older sister.

When she learned everything, Illya showed a gentle attitude and gave the Heroic Spirit Emiya a lap pillow, giving him the warmth of family.

However, Ilya herself died a few years after the Holy Grail War ended due to the necrosis of all her organs.

Thus, Emiya lost his only family and embarked on a solitary journey to pursue justice alone...

Shirou then realized that, deep down, the Heroic Spirit Emiya also longed for the existence of a family to share life with.

That's why neither he nor I want to make the same mistake again.

Chapter 75 The birth of my younger sister, and Luo Qixi's letter.

time flies.

Several months have passed since Senis and Lilia became pregnant, and both ladies' bellies are now noticeably larger than before, requiring more rest and care.

The task of caring for the pregnant woman was originally assigned to the maid, Lilia.

But Lilia is now pregnant and clearly no longer has the capacity to take care of others.

Senis then regretted kicking Paul out; otherwise, if Paul had been there, even if that man was useless, he could have been of some help.

But there's no point in regretting it now.

Therefore, all the pressure was forced onto Shirou and Rudeus.

Shirou and Rudeus went to great lengths to help Senis and Lillia prepare for pregnancy, to the point that the two brothers were exhausted as if they were about to give birth themselves.

Finally, all the hardship came to an end when Sylphie's father, Rolz, summoned a midwife from the village who knew how to deliver babies, so that she could take care of Senis and Lilia.

Shirou and Rudeus then realized that having a child didn't seem to require their own efforts; seeking help from professionals was the most appropriate approach.

Of course, while the midwife can provide assistance in many ways, she is more of a guide, and most of the work of taking care of the pregnant woman still falls on Shirou and Rudeus.

Fortunately, Hilfi also came to help, otherwise the two brothers would have fallen ill from exhaustion.

And all the effort finally paid off.

Senis gave birth in early October.

She appeared to be in great pain, seemingly because the baby was not born head down, but breech, a condition that makes childbirth quite difficult.

In this situation, Lilia, who was also pregnant, rushed to help and worked with the midwife to come up with various solutions and do everything she could.

Shirou and Rudeus also tried to help Lillia, with Rudeus continuously casting healing magic until he was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, everyone's efforts paid off, and the baby was successfully born.

Senis's second baby was born safely into the world, letting out its first spirited cry, and it was a blonde baby girl.

Before everyone could even rejoice at the birth of her younger sister, Lilia began to show signs of labor.

This was clearly an abnormal situation of premature birth, and everyone's relaxed tension returned. Fortunately, the midwife was very experienced in dealing with premature births.

Shirou immediately followed the midwife's instructions and, together with Rudeus, carried the exhausted Lillia to the other's room.

Shirou then had Rudeus use magic to create hot water for the newborn, and then gathered all the clean towels in the house before returning to the midwife's side.

Having gained experience from dealing with the birth of Rudeus, Shirou is quite skilled at handling childbirth.

He remained calm throughout, trying his best to reassure everyone with a firm attitude, and even held Lilya's hand tightly to make her feel the strength of family.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Finally, with a spirited cry, a red-haired baby girl was born from Lilia's arms.

Like Senis, Lilia also gave birth to a daughter.

This means that Shirou and Rudeus have two more younger sisters.

"You actually have two younger sisters?"

Rudeus couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile, clearly recalling the little sister-themed games he had played in his past life.

Shirou, too exhausted to criticize Rudy, gave a wry smile: "Paul is really lucky. He was supposed to be punished, but he escaped unscathed."

"Don't worry, Father will definitely regret it. After all, he missed witnessing the birth of his two daughters. He might even cry."

"Too."

Shirou smiled, looking at the two babies placed in the cradle in front of him. Seeing the pure look on their faces, he couldn't help but smile as well.

……

With Senis and Lilia's successful delivery, the Grerat family finally returned to peace.

The group also discussed and came up with names for the two baby girls.

Senis's daughter is named Norren.

Lilia's daughter is named Aisha.

Their surnames are naturally all Greirat.

At the same time, facing the ever-increasing influence of the women in his family, Rudius seemed to suddenly feel a sense of crisis. He began to practice putting on a calm and handsome appearance, just like Paul had done before. He clearly wanted to act cool in front of his future sister and gain her respect.

Of course, it's also possible that he simply wants to imitate Shirou and become a brother like Shirou that his sisters can be proud of.

Hilfi also came to visit during the process. Now she has learned intermediate magic from Rudeus and has even fully mastered incantationless magic.

She was also very regretful that she hadn't come to help on the day the baby was born, but naturally the Greirat family didn't care and treated her warmly.

Shirou did not stop practicing swordsmanship during this time.

In fact, ever since he narrowly defeated Paul in that previous battle, he has spent more time honing his skills.

For Shirou, his current strength is already quite considerable, but it is still far from the goal he hopes to achieve.

Becoming a high-level swordsman is not the end goal he hopes to reach; only a higher level of swordsmanship is the goal he constantly pursues.

Unfortunately, Shirou's own talent prevented him from making any further progress in the Sword God style. Until the Sword King Kyrie Irwin, whom Paul had mentioned earlier, replied, all he could do was wait patiently.

Therefore, Shirou could only begin to hone the skills of the Heroic Spirit Emiya himself.

The Crane Wing Triple Strike he used when facing Paul was a technique he had mastered again through constant self-improvement as a Heroic Spirit Emiya.

In fact, the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya is not limited to the Crane Wing Triple Slash. There is still much room for improvement in him, and he deserves to spend more time honing his skills.

……

With the birth of Noren and Aisha, winter gradually arrived.

The one-year deadline I agreed upon with Paul is fast approaching.

The Grellat family continued their peaceful daily life.

But Shirou gradually discovers that his family members all seem to be experiencing different troubles.

Senis appeared as gentle as ever, but she would occasionally glance out the window, clearly worried about Paul, who hadn't been home for a year.

Although Paul is a scoundrel with a terrible personality, he is not inherently bad, and he is a very reliable man in combat. His only redeeming quality is enough to make him attractive.

There is no doubt that Senis still loves that man.

However, given the previous agreement that the other party was not allowed to return within a year, Senis would probably not contradict her previous words at this time.

Besides Senis missing Paul too much, Rudius's recent behavior has also been somewhat strange.

He often locked himself in the attic and spent long periods of time studying magic, but each time it ended in disappointment.

Shirou, of course, didn't stand on ceremony with Rudeus and took the initiative to ask him what troubles he was facing.

Rudeus responded that he felt his magic had hit a bottleneck. Nearly two years had passed since he learned water-level magic from Lokishi, but he had not learned any new magic.

Shirou felt the same way; after learning the advanced version of the Sword God Style from Paul, he also made no progress.

"Perhaps Rudy, you need a skilled person to teach you magic."

Shirou hesitated before offering his opinion.

"A capable person?"

Rudius looked puzzled; he clearly didn't know how to find such a person.

Shirou hesitated, lacking knowledge about magic; perhaps the only person he could consult was Loki.

But Loki had left the Grellatt family two years ago, and now has no idea where they went.

And it seems to be a coincidence that, as the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

Lokishi actually sent a letter to the Greirat family through someone.

Shirou and Rudeus eagerly tore open the envelope.

[—Dear Shirou, dear Rudy, how are you doing?]

The beginning was written in a handwriting familiar to Loki, and for some reason, Loki made many corrections to the three words "Dear" before Shirou, as if she was hesitating about whether to write it that way. In the end, she simply added "Dear Rudy" after the words, and only then was she able to write the words smoothly.

Seeing this, Rudeus couldn't help but tease, "Teacher really likes you, Shirou-kun."

"No, not really."

Shirou wasn't good at this kind of topic, so he patted the other person's head with mixed feelings and continued reading the letter.

Time flies. It's been two years since we parted ways. Things have only recently started to settle down a bit, so I'm writing this letter to you.

I am currently staying in the capital of the Kingdom of Silon. After exploring the country's labyrinths as an adventurer, I somehow made a name for myself and was eventually hired as the prince's tutor.

[Teaching the prince reminds me of the days I spent at the Grellard family. The prince is very similar to Rudeus, although not as exaggerated as Rudeus, but he also has excellent magical talent and is very intelligent. In addition, he has some of the same lecherous traits as Rudeus, and he is always full of inexplicable enthusiasm for women's underwear. But he doesn't have a good older brother like Shirou to discipline him, which is really a headache.]

What's so good about my shabby figure...?

Upon seeing Lokishi's handwriting, Rudeus immediately blushed and exclaimed, "Slander! This must be slander! Shirou-nii, I'm not some lecherous person!"

"Really? But didn't you always cling to Lilia's chest when you were little?"

"That was just when I was a kid..."

Rudius turned his head away guiltily.

Shirou smiled. He knew, of course, that Rudeus was gradually changing his personality, but often it's true that old habits die hard.

Shirou was more concerned about Loki's last words. He hadn't expected Loki to care so much about her figure. Should he compliment her when they met in the future?

Uh, it would be troublesome if it were considered sarcastic, so let's just forget about it.

Chapter 76 Lanoa Magic University.

Shirou and Rudeus continued reading the letters sent by Loki.

Did I just slander His Highness? Oh dear, if the Kingdom of Xilong finds out I wrote these things, will I be guilty of disrespect...?

Forget it, we'll talk about it when something really happens. Anyway, I didn't mean to say anything bad about him, so I should be able to find an excuse to defend myself.

Although it's only for a short period, the royal palace seems to intend to appoint me as the court magician, and I also want to continue studying magic, so this is perfect.

[By the way, I've finally been able to use Water King-level magic, so I can be considered a Water King-level mage now.]

The library of the Kingdom of Xilong contains books related to Water King-level magic.

When I learned the Saint level, I thought I couldn't go any further, and even felt that I had reached the limit of my talent. But thanks to you, Shirou... all of you, I was able to go further on my past achievements. Because of you... you all taught me that anything is possible with hard work.

[By the way, let me guess what Shirou and Rudeus's levels are now? First, think about Rudeus. With Rude's talent, is he already able to use Water Emperor-level magic? Or can he use other systems up to Saint-level? I think with your hard work, perhaps you've already started exploring healing and summoning magic?]
