Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

"Humph! I won't repeat what I said before! So don't answer my question!!!"

The girl stared at Illya, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes unconsciously, as if Illya had done something wrong to make her cry.

Don't repeat what you said before. Didn't you just repeat the sentence three times?

Looking at the seemingly stubborn girl in front of her, Illya's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"Well, there's no need to get so emotional that you cry. I just remembered!"

"Uh, I'm awake now—"

In response, Illya could only recall the question she heard at the beginning and then answer it.

It’s obvious whether I’m awake or not, so is it necessary to wait for my own reply?

Was I sleepwalking just now?

In short, Illya could not understand the thought process of the blonde girl in front of her at all.

"I'm not crying! I'm not crying!! A lady wouldn't cry over such a small thing!"

The blonde girl stretched out her hands to cover her chest, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes, and yelled at Illya stubbornly.

Looking at the blonde girl in front of her who was becoming more and more agitated, Illya felt very tired, inexplicably tired.

"Good! Good! Good! Of course I know that ladies don't shed tears--"

At this time, Illya could only comfort her in a gentle voice.

"Humph! As a lady, I can totally do it myself. You must never tell me your name!"

It seemed that Illya's comfort worked. The blonde girl put her hands on her hips happily, but both her words and tone made people feel particularly awkward.

Uh, is there such a question to ask someone’s name?

Illya said that this was the first time she had seen this method of asking someone's name.

"Well, my name is Illyasviel. Because my name is too long, everyone calls me Illya. What about you?"

"Hehe! My name is Erica, Sister Illya!"

"!!!!!!"

In an instant, Illya's pupils were filled with love. She looked at Erica with great excitement, and even her hands swayed upwards involuntarily.

"Can you scream again?"

"What's the problem? Sister Illya?"

Erica's face was full of confusion, but she still listened to Illya's words obediently.

"!!!!!!"

"Sorry, I got carried away!"

Illya covered her heart which was beating fast with excitement and gasped for breath. The title of sister was too destructive.

But now, the most important thing for Illya is to know where she is and what is happening to her family, her mother, her brother, Sera, and Liz.

Soon, Illya calmed her excited heart.

"Alijia, do you know where I am now?"

"At my home!"

“No, it’s the specific location!”

"Well, where exactly? My room!"

Illya immediately lowered her head, Erica's understanding of the words, or should I say common sense, made her feel exhausted.

You can't give up, Illya. This is your own problem. If you ask in more detail, you may get some useful information.

"It's the name of the street, or what buildings are around it, like next to Ryudo Temple, next to the elementary school of Hogunhara Gakuen, etc."

Illya has tried her best. If that doesn't work, then she will have to go out and find out where she is.

After all, in Illya's impression, there should be no place in Fuyuki City that can accommodate such a luxurious aristocratic room.

Although she did not tour the entire Fuyuki City, as an elementary school student she did not dare to run around in Fuyuki City, it was very dangerous.

"Emm, that should be - Fuyuki City!"

Illya fell backwards on the bed. She was completely defeated by Erica. It seemed that she could only find out where she was by herself.

However, for Erica, who even has some problems with common sense, if someone is taking care of her, as long as she finds an adult, she should be able to find out where she is now.

But Illya had not yet realized that this would be a cage from which she would find it difficult to escape.

Chapter 1023: Erica

"Click——"

With the clear sound of a door opening, the door of a room in the luxurious mansion was opened, revealing a small head with silver-white hair, looking around.

The corridor was empty, but the end could not be seen at a glance. The lights on the ceiling of the corridor were flickering, illuminating the entire space.

At first, Illya thought that this family just took good care of Erica and decorated her room like this on purpose, but in fact, she might have been wrong.

This is more than just a home for Erica, it is a truly luxurious mansion.

The surroundings exude a sense of luxury, the floor is covered with red carpets, and there are countless crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

This left middle-class people like Illya dumbfounded.

"We must definitely leave Erica behind!"

At the moment Illya opened the door, Erica behind her pouted and stared at Illya's back with tears in the corners of her eyes.

What is this child trying to do by being so awkward?

Illya sighed in her heart. Although she could understand what she wanted to express at a glance, it was really too awkward.

"Erika, do you know where your parents' room is?"

Illya looked at the dark sky outside the window, then turned to ask Erica softly, "It's such a big mansion, not to mention that it's very rude to wander around in someone else's house."

The second was that she would really get lost in such a large mansion.

"Of course, Erica is not a child anymore, of course she knows where Daddy's room is!"

Erica seemed very confident. She immediately opened the door and walked into the red carpeted corridor.

Obviously still a child.

Looking at Erica, whose face changed immediately, Illya complained in her heart with certainty.

However, Illya was also very curious about who the owner of this house was.

She had never seen such a large mansion in Fuyuki City, nor had she ever heard of the existence of such a person in Fuyuki City.

Following behind Erica, Illya looked out the window in a daze. In the dark night, the world outside the window was almost pitch black. She could only barely see that there should be a courtyard around the mansion.

"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"

"ah!"

Countless banging sounds appeared on the window like waves, which scared Illya immediately and she couldn't help but sit on the ground.

"Hey! Sister Illya is a coward!"

Seeing Illya's expression, Erica raised the corner of her mouth slightly and laughed at her.

"I'm not a coward!"

Hearing Erica's words, Illya quickly stood up. She was the elder sister, so of course she had to fulfill her responsibilities as a sister. How could she be afraid of these monsters and ghosts?

"Aren't you afraid, Erica? The sudden sound of the window? Or--"

Illya suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck. Could this really be a haunted house?

"Sister Illya, what are you thinking? That's just the sound of snow hitting the window. It will stop soon--"

Erica chuckled, as if she was already accustomed to the sound. She even stood on tiptoe and patted Illya on the shoulder, signaling her not to worry.

"Snow? But it's summer now?"

After hearing Erica's explanation, Illya became even more confused. Why did it suddenly start snowing outside?

But Erica didn't explain at all, and continued to take Illya to the front of the corridor.

"Luckily, Sister Illya, you woke up early. If you had woken up a little later, the lights would have been turned off and I would have had to push Sister Illya off the bed."

She waved her hands and spoke with an expression of great relief, as if she couldn't sleep because Illya occupied her bed.

“Push him off the bed—” Several black lines suddenly appeared on Illya’s head.

"It's such a big bed, you can sleep with Sister Illya!"

"But Sister Illya, you have occupied my bed. How can I sleep?"

"Ah?" Illya's expression became confused again.

"Isn't one bed only big enough for one person? If you sleep in my bed, won't I have no place to sleep?"

Erica also tilted her head, as if she was equally puzzled by Illya's doubts. This was common sense, right?

After hearing Erica's explanation, Illya could only lower her head again and cover her face with her hands. What happened to this child's common sense?

"Oh, it's so late, why don't you wait for me to come and see you?"

Just when Illya was feeling depressed because of Erica's words, a childish voice with a little bit of craziness came from beside Illya.

And Illya was also a little surprised, and looked to the side in the direction of the voice.

At the door that was pushed open, stood a very pretty and cute girl with jagged teeth.

She has beautiful red hair tied in short twin ponytails on both sides of her head, and wears a luxurious Gothic Lolita outfit with lots of wrinkles, which is mainly red with black as a secondary color.

"Ah! Sister Beatrice!"

Erica was a little scared and hid behind Illya.

"You're not going to go to my room to take my doll again!"

Looking at Beatrice walking out of the room, Erica was very worried about the fate of the dolls in her room.

"Beatrice?"

Illya muttered softly. She felt that such details sounded familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it from for a moment.

"Haven't you agreed to let me take your doll? So be careful—"

Beatrice had a smile on her face as she talked directly to Erica who was behind Illya, as if she didn't even notice Illya who was standing in front of Erica.

"Absolutely, absolutely, we must take away Erica's doll!"

Erica choked and grabbed the corner of Illya's clothes, seeming to agree with Beatrice's words.

But Illya fully understood that Erica just liked to say the opposite, and it was obvious that the other party was bullying her because of Erica's character.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! It just so happens that I don't have many friends, so I'll go borrow some from you!"

With that, Beatrice walked towards Erica's room with a smile on her face, and Erica grabbed Illya's sleeve a little tighter.

"Wait a minute! Are you totally ignoring me!"

Just as Beatrice took a few steps towards Erica's room, Illya called out to her.

"Yes what's the matter?"

Beatrice did not deny it at all. She looked at Illya with impatience on her face, as if telling her not to meddle in other people's business.

Chapter 1024: The Endsworth Family That Cannot Be Escaped

Cui'erbis's arrogant attitude and words made Illya feel a little annoyed and helpless.

What kind of people are there in this castle? Although he is only the second person I have met, their personalities are so unique.

She couldn't imagine what kind of weirdo she would meet next.

"Well, if you take away Erica's doll like this, it will make her very distressed."

Illya did not show her annoyance too much, but still persuaded Beatrice politely and softly, expressing her good intentions.
