Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

There was only disbelief in her eyes. She wished so much that everything she was experiencing now was just a dream.

"Got it, Sister Chloe, I'll take Sister Illya over right away!"

Erica at the side did not lose her composure like Illya, as if she had long been accustomed to such conversations, or rather -

In panic and fear, Illya turned her head to look at Erica, who looked calm.

She couldn't say.

She might know something.

Perhaps it can be said that he was desperate and tried any possible means.

But this is the only way Illya can get information in this mansion.

"Erika, do you know what happened to Chloe?"

With a look of help, Illya looked at Erica.

"What happened? Sister Illya, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Illya's words, Erica tilted her head, looking very confused. She didn't understand what Illya wanted to express at all.

"Exactly, Chloe wasn't like this before. What on earth happened to make her eyes look so lifeless?"

Illya described it with her hands and feet dancing, but her elementary school knowledge did not allow her to describe it in too many ways, and she also did not know how to explain to Erica that the current Xiao Hei was different from the Xiao Hei she knew.

"Hmm? I think I understand what you mean, Sister Illya!"

After thinking for a while, Erica seemed to remember something and looked at Illya with an innocent smile.

Then he said something that made Illya extremely desperate.

"Of course Sister Chloe only looks like this after she died!"

The hellish words and the innocent tone without any evil thoughts, the two contrasts instantly appeared on Erica. Illya didn't understand what kind of mood she was in when she said the word death.

but----

"【die】--!"

Looking at Xiao Hei who seemed to have lost his soul, Illya only felt her heart aching, extremely painful, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She sat on the bed with despair in her eyes.

No matter what Erica said, Illya seemed to be unable to hear her at all. She stared blankly ahead, looking at Xiao Hei who was still standing there like a puppet, waiting for them to get dressed.

why!

Why! ?

Why! ! ?

Why!???

Chapter 1026: The script written by God cannot be violated

death.

This is an extremely heavy word.

Whether to others or to yourself.

Illya has thought about death and has even been on the brink of death.

Collecting class cards is a life-threatening battle in itself, and it is an undeniable fact that they have been on the verge of life and death many times.

only----

Thinking about it doesn't mean she can accept death. Rather, it is because she has thought about death that she cannot accept it, especially her friends and family.

Now, his family is in danger of death in the explosion, and Xiao Hei has become a puppet.

If Miyu, Luvia, Toosaka Rin and the others also appeared in front of Illya at this moment, her fragile spirit would probably collapse in an instant.

Illya was in a daze and followed behind Erica.

She didn't know what to do or what she could do.

escape?

Neither the class card nor the ruby ​​was with him, so how could he escape with such weak strength?

Help?

Who should she ask for help? She couldn't contact anyone at all. She was alone in the whole mansion. No matter what she did, it was in vain.

Perhaps that was why Darius let her do what she wanted.

At this moment, Illya seemed to have realized the truth. She followed Erica in a daze, as if she had despaired of everything in the world.

There were Darius, Beatrice, Angelica, Ishtar, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Erica, and Kuro who was standing by like a doll in a maid outfit.

These are all the people who live in the Endsworth Castle today.

At the dinner table, except for Erica, no one even looked at Illya, as if she didn't exist, and they all chatted about their next plans and arrangements.

Illya acted as if she heard nothing. She stared at the bowl and chopsticks in front of her and ate numbly.

"Sister Illya, I'm going to my school to play. Dad told me that I can't take you out to play. I'm sorry!"

After breakfast, Erica put on her schoolbag again and looked at the dazed Illya with an extremely brilliant smile, completely unaware of Illya's mood at the moment.

"I'll bring some souvenirs to Sister Illya when I come back. Bye!"

Jumping and dancing, Erica waved her hands happily towards Illya who was sitting alone in the room, and then disappeared into the corridor.

The surroundings became quiet in an instant, and Illya could even hear the slight breeze in the air clearly.

“What should I do——”

Looking around again at the room with countless dolls, which looked extremely warm, luxurious, and yet extremely unfamiliar, Illya lowered her head.

After all, she is just an elementary school student.

"Are you just going to sigh and groan like this without even trying?!"

At this moment, a voice of disappointment came from somewhere in the room.

"Who is it!?" Illya seemed to be frightened as well. She immediately stood up from the bed and looked around with a vigilant look.

But she couldn't find out what was talking, nor did she see anyone appear.

"call out--!"

With a slight sound of breaking through the air, a sword arrow shot out from the ground, mixed with magical power like a whirlwind, and hit Illya's head directly like a missile.

"Snapped--!"

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!”

Illya covered her forehead and fell heavily on the bed behind her, tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, she followed the direction where the sword arrow was flying and saw a rag doll standing under her feet.

It was a rag doll that was brown all over and looked very cute.

The puppet was wearing a pink bodysuit with a short red jacket on the outside that only covered the shoulders and arms, black tights that reached the root, and a red skirt with a slit in the front that looked like a cape.

A head of golden hair fell on both sides, and a pair of mouse-like ears appeared on both sides of the head.

Its head is almost as big as its body, and at first glance it looks like a cute lion-like doll.

And in the hands of this puppet is my pitch-black longbow, and it seems to be glaring at Illya.

"Doll, doll can talk!?"

Seeing the doll suddenly attacking her, Illya crawled towards the bed with some fear. Everything here was too weird.

“Ah ...! What! Illya, have you been brainwashed by Endsworth? If I had known this, I should have killed you!”

Seeing that Illya didn't recognize it at all, the doll seemed even more angry. It jumped up and jumped onto Illya's bed, holding Gan Jiang and Moye in its hands and pointing them at the other party.

His words were filled with dissatisfaction towards Illya.

"Now you should be able to recognize who I am!"

"Xiao Hei!!!!!!!"

As if she understood something, Illya's originally dazed pupils suddenly regained their brightness, the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised upwards, and she rushed towards the puppet desperately.

"Wow wow wow!!!"

Big tears burst out from the corners of Illya's eyes, immediately soaking all the fur on the doll.

"I thought! I thought! I thought!!!!!"

The emotions that Illya had been suppressing all poured out the moment she saw Xiao Hei.

Looking at Illya who was crying loudly, Xiao Hei, who had turned into a rag doll, wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only stretch out his furry hands and pat Illya's sides.

If the puppet's arms weren't too short, Xiao Hei would have wanted to pat Illya's back to comfort her.

Just when Illya and Xiao Hei met, in the basement of the mansion, Angelica pushed Darius' wheelchair and came here.

Here, there is a room covered with ice.

The room was covered with terrifying flames everywhere, and the ice around it was beginning to melt layer by layer.

However, this place should not be called a room. It should be said that it is not a room where normal people live.

This is a dungeon, surrounded by walls. Apart from the exit, you can hardly see any view of the outside world. There are not even windows. If it weren't for the burning fire, you probably wouldn't be able to see what's going on inside.

And on the innermost wall of this dungeon, a man was hanging there.

She was a tall girl with rosy skin and short pink hair.

The girl was wearing a gym suit that was common in high schools, with the word "Tanaka" written in large letters on the clothes. She lowered her head, and her hands and feet were hung by chains that were shining with a special light.

That is Gilgamesh's most trusted treasure and his best friend - the Heaven's Chain.

Around her, horrific flames were pouring out, trying to completely melt the cell.

But ice continued to rise from the side, maintaining the balance for a short while.

In just a short while, the terrifying flame disappeared completely. The pink-haired girl hanging on the wall raised her head slightly and stared at Darius who came here.

"Destroy——the Endsworth family!"

At this time, Darius, who was sitting in a wheelchair, gently opened the book in his hand and smiled slightly.

However, this smile looked a bit crazy no matter how you looked at it, and it was chilling.

As if sensing something, Darius turned his head and looked upward and to the side. If one followed his line of sight, he would be looking at Illya's room.

Then, a frivolous voice sounded in the dungeon.

"The script written by God cannot be violated!"

Chapter 1027 Mutual Comfort

Illya is not Shirou Emiya, nor is she Kiritsugu Emiya.

Besides, she is just an elementary school student now, and she doesn’t have the awareness and ability to bear everything on her own like them, if it weren’t for Xiao Hei’s appearance.

This gradually increasing pressure will eventually completely defeat Illya.

The presence of her companions gave Illya a place to release her pent-up emotions.

The same is true for Xiao Hei.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so eager to appear in front of Illya after Erica left.

She is indeed more mature than Illya, but that doesn't mean Xiao Hei can bear it all.

Being caught alone in such an unfamiliar environment, he was unable to resist and could only watch helplessly as his body no longer belonged to him.

This reminded Xiao Hei of his past again, the past when he was extremely desperate and no matter how much he cried out, he could only watch another person using his body to live.

At that moment, her despair was even deeper than Illya's, and she even had thoughts of committing suicide.

If Xiao Hei hadn't seen Illya following Erica in Beatrice's room, he might have given up his life.

She could feel Illya's uneasiness, confusion and fear.

I am the elder sister, how can I leave my useless sister alone in this place?
