Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

Jiang You thought about it and realized that he was more than ten years older than Illya, so no matter how he explained, it would seem like he had ulterior motives.

"no……"

Illya couldn't think of how to explain it for a moment. After she became a magical girl, she had her own little secret. Jiang You was an accomplice who knew her secret, so she couldn't bear to watch this guy being sent to prison. What's more, they both needed to help the black-haired girl find her brother.

"By the way, do you remember that piece of clothing? He lent it to me when my clothes were torn. Anyway...anyway, I was the one who told him his clothes were in the bathroom, and it was just a coincidence...that's right, so you can't blame him."

Sera narrowed her eyes at Illya's flawed answer. She had indeed seen the dress that had suddenly appeared beside her. Because the material was so solid, she had even gone out of her way to find out where it came from, and the price had left her speechless. She had even asked Illya where it came from, but she had always been hesitant and unable to explain. Now it occurred to her that Illya had known this young man for a long time. As for the dress being torn, it was completely absurd. She had been acting as a guardian while Kiritsugu and Alice were away. How could she not know if Illya's dress was torn?

Sera looked at Jiang You carefully again. He did have a nice face, so it was normal that he was popular with a little girl like Illya.

"Illya, lying is not a good thing."

"No...no."

Illya was obviously starting to panic. What secrets do you expect a fifth-grade girl to hide?

Jiang You also found a way to deal with it at this time and helped Illya out of the predicament: "Ms. Sera, I am actually friends with your family head, Emiya Kiritsugu, so it's not surprising that I know Illya."

"How is it possible? Kiritsugu's whereabouts..."

Just as Sera was about to expose Jiang You's lies, she saw the Origin Bullet Jiang You handed over. Kiritsugu's life trajectory here was largely the same as in the original story, so anything Jiang You possessed that belonged to the Fourth War Kiritsugu could be used as a keepsake. Of course, Sera recognized this item; it was a very important possession for Kiritsugu, a trump card. If it were in the hands of someone else, it could only be someone who had defeated Kiritsugu's enemies or a close friend.

If they were enemies, there would be no need to explain to them, so they could only be friends. It was a miracle that Kiritsugu still had friends given his reputation. "I didn't expect there was such a relationship. I was overthinking it. I'm so sorry."

"Eh?"

This Illya barely knew Jiang You, only knowing him as an older brother who had a very good relationship with her in another world. However, if she knew herself, it was quite normal for him to know Kiritsugu.

"Yes...that's it! So, Sera, this big brother and I have something to talk about. It won't be long. Let's be alone for a while. Don't worry."

"……no!"

Sera shook her head repeatedly. She didn't dare to think about being alone.

"Even if she's Kiritsugu's friend... No, this has nothing to do with friends. Illya is only ten years old. I won't allow you to attack her!"

"what?"

This time it was Jiang You's turn to be confused, but he quickly sorted out his thoughts. His entrance this way would leave Illya alone with him. Sera, as a parent, would definitely be terrified. Actually, discussing this directly in front of Sera wouldn't have much of an impact, but it was understandable that Illya wanted to keep the magical girl's secret. "That's impossible. You're overthinking it. Well... there's no need to be alone, but little girls always have their secrets, right? Let's go out and talk. You can follow. As long as I stay within your sight, that's fine, right?"

Chapter 363: Relationship with Illya.

"No, we all know they're there, so why would we need to disguise ourselves? What's the point?"

Jiang You couldn't help but complain after seeing Sera and Lijelite change into ill-fitting trench coats and even get wigs and sunglasses. Wasn't this world a little too relaxed? Was it really the style of the Type-Moon world?

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Illya could only smile, even though she wanted to complain too.

The two of them are now in a coffee shop. Most coffee shops have drinks similar to milk tea. Jiang You usually likes to come to such places.

Seeing the desserts and drinks before her, Illya's eyes sparkled. While the Einzberns were certainly not short of money, Illya, now living in a private residence, didn't have much pocket money, barely more than an average elementary school student. Faced with these prohibitively expensive items, she could only drool through the window.

You get what you pay for. After taking a bite of the specially prepared tiramisu, Illya felt like she was melting. She looked at Jiang You with a hint of longing in her eyes. She wanted to grow up quickly so she could order these things as freely as Jiang You.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang You, do you really know my father?"

"Of course I know him, but he's not the Emiya Kiritsugu here. He over there isn't as responsible as the Kiritsugu here."

I don't know how Kiritsugu won the Holy Grail War. I can only say that life choices are very important. Kiritsugu in the Fourth War was destined not to have a perfect ending, because what he pursued did not exist in the first place, and was even false.

"Actually, you're the happiest of all Illyas, well... at least so far."

"What do you mean by that so far? It sounds like I'm going to be unlucky later."

Illya was a little uneasy when she saw Jiang You's eyes. She always felt that there was some pity in Jiang You's eyes. She didn't even have the heart to continue to taste the extremely expensive tiramisu in front of her.

"Hmm... let's create a world where Illya can also be happy. If Illya doesn't exist in this world, then Illya won't suffer anymore. If Illya doesn't suffer, then she will be happy, right?"

Although this time we came here to discuss Miyu's affairs, it's okay to mention Illya's future as well. Especially since Illya is so soft, it makes people want to bully her.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Illya was already trembling, because a similar thing had happened to Miyu. Could it be that her brother had made a similar wish? Mainly because in her eyes, Jiang You, like her, possessed special abilities, so his words were highly credible. This was too scary. "Stop saying these scary things! I'll take them seriously."

"Hmm, maybe it's true?"

Jiang You saw that he had bullied her enough, so he put away his smile.

"Don't worry, I won't let you rule the world. Just enjoy your life as a magical girl."

"...Is it really okay to discuss this here?"

Illya looked around warily. The cafe wasn't crowded, and the two of them were in a rather remote corner. Just because there were fewer people didn't mean there weren't any, especially with Sera and the other two already there. Illya wanted to get closer to Jiang You and talk quietly, but Jiang You pushed her back.

"It's okay. I still have plenty of soundproof barriers."

Jiang You is an idiot in magic, but Medea is not. Making this kind of thing is a piece of cake for Medea, and it is much simpler than Jiang You’s weird requirements.

"That's good. Actually, I've always had a question. I was a bit confused before, so I didn't have time to ask. Something went wrong in Miyu's world, so why did she come to my side first? Logically, shouldn't I go to her side with you guys?"

Illya had no objection to helping, she just wanted to figure out the situation. Having just become a member of the other world, she was curious about everything.

"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. Perhaps the world over there is on the verge of collapse, and they can't actively locate it."

Jiang You thought that the planner must have blocked the plot line for the sake of the game content, otherwise, with the players' ability to go through so many scripts, they could have easily completed it.

"And the world that Miyu was supposed to come to is yours. You still remember the job cards, right? These things are products of Miyu's world. As long as you collect them, you can find a way to Miyu's world, defeat the enemy, and then save the world! What do you think? Isn't it a very classic plot?"

"It sounds simple, but I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

Illya is not a fool. Jiang You’s previous words might be reflected here. Who knows, she might even be sacrificed here?

"It's certainly difficult if we rely on you alone. But since I'm here, leave the output to me, I guarantee you'll be the C."

At worst, it will be a clash of myths, Norse mythology versus Mesopotamian mythology, and then we will see who is better.

The answer doesn't even require thinking. How can a fake person possibly be better than a lolita (?) mom?

"Don't talk like it's a game!"

Having reliable (perhaps) adults around her was indeed reassuring. Jiang You's ability to actively travel through world lines was already quite miraculous, and Illya believed that Jiang You was not exaggerating. She relaxed a little and began to concentrate on finishing the dessert in front of her.

"You little greedy cat, you've got food all over your face."

Seeing Illya bite off a large piece of cake in revenge, and a lot of the stuff was stained on her face, Jiang You habitually reached out to help her wipe it off.

This intimate action made Illya's face turn red, and she belatedly dodged backwards.

"Ah, sorry. You and Illya look exactly like each other, so I'm kind of used to it."

Jiang You didn't react. Illya (Five Wars Version) would sometimes act like a spoiled child to him. This kind of thing was already commonplace. As long as it didn't cross the line, the system wouldn't care. If it really was the system.

"Mr. Jiang You...you, what is your relationship with me over there?"

Perhaps because she was grateful for the favor, Illya did not show any signs of being angry. Instead, she asked about herself over there.

Incidentally, Jiang You hadn't set up a barrier to block pedestrians, so Jiang You and Illya could still be seen through the glass from outside. It just so happened that today was the weekend, otherwise Illya wouldn't have been so free to go out with Jiang You. So, three students from Suiqunyuan Elementary School happened to pass by and saw this scene.

"By the way, do you think that person looks like Illya?"

"It's not like, it's Illya, okay? I don't seem to have seen the guy sitting across from her before, and he's not Illya's brother. What are they doing, a date?"

"Wow, how bold! Doing this in public."

"No, it could be an elder in the family. This man looks like he's already working. The age difference is quite big."

"Working? I look like a high school student...Isn't that Sister Sera? Wait, what is she holding?!"

"Relationship, master-slave relationship to be more precise?"

Jiang You and Illya's main connection was still that of Master and Servant. Jiang You thought for a moment before answering. Although Illya had already expressed her feelings when they ran into Elle, after what happened with Yao Cui, Jiang You didn't dare to agree directly to such a thing.

“Eh? Eh hey hey!”

It was obvious that Illya had misunderstood something. Just as Jiang You was about to explain in detail, Sera rushed over, knife and fork in hand. Seeing the knife and fork stabbing at him, Jiang You slapped his face and decided to speak clearly word by word from now on.

Chapter 364: Things that are not governed by the law are not protected by the law.

Jiang You easily subdued Sera. With a full C deck, it was still quite easy to deal with a single android. Jiang You had considered a duel, but it felt a bit slow compared to the current direct combat method. Besides, Sera's card was already in Illya's deck, so there was no need to farm it specifically.

"Don't get excited. If you really stab it, you'll be the one going to jail."

After tying Sera up tightly and throwing her back to the seat where she should be, Jiang You returned to his seat.

"You...you and that guy are really...really in that kind of relationship?"

Illya is at the age when she is curious about relationships between men and women. She is both shy and curious about such things.

Jiang You really didn't know how to answer this question. He had originally meant to be talking about Servant and Master, but the truth was not that simple. He did respond when they were playing around before, so did that count as an engagement? "Well... how should I put it? It's not as confusing as you think. Master and Servant refers to Servant and Master, a bit like the relationship between a magician and a familiar. But she and I do have some feelings for each other. We can't be considered boyfriend and girlfriend, but if things continue to develop, it should definitely reach that stage. After all, I'm not in the habit of giving away my things to others."

Jiang You had unknowingly begun to think realistically, but the misalignment of his perceptions left him feeling a bit conflicted. Reality didn't allow him to be a jerk, and he hadn't responded to Yao Cui yet. He was practically ready to make a desperate move, and he felt a bit shy about saying this to an NPC. All in all, he was starting to feel a bit confused.

"Hey, I was still so young."

Illya also began to feel confused. Although that person was not herself, the same name and appearance made her unable to help but put herself in the picture. She inexplicably tasted a forbidden taste, just like she secretly liked her brother.

"Mr. Jiang You, won't you wait a few more years?"

"Oh, actually, Illya over there is already an adult."

That Illya even had her own car. If it weren't for Minamoto no Raikou's insistence, that Illya would have gone to high school.

"But for some reason, she won't grow up anymore. By the way, in a sense, you're already an adult too. If you insist, you're actually Emiya Shirou's older sister."

"Sister, me?"

Even though she had only just begun to explore the inner world, Illya felt as if her peaceful daily life was lurching wildly in an unpredictable direction. Was this still the world she knew?

"Well... I can tell you the story later."

Seeing that Illya had almost finished her dessert, Jiang You decided it was time to get down to business. He couldn't keep Miyu waiting any longer. "Let's talk about Miyu first. Actually, the current process and your goal haven't changed. You should have seen Rin Tohsaka. The ruby ​​and sapphire were created to recycle the job card. We also need to recycle the job card to find a way to return Miyu to her original world. Right now, the sapphire hasn't found a suitable owner... Miyu also needs the power to protect herself, so I plan to have Miyu sign a contract with the sapphire."

"Sapphire?"

Illya had also heard Ruby say that it had a sister. If Miyu also became a magical girl, wouldn't that mean she could have a companion? Besides that, having someone wear such light clothes with her would also help share her shyness, which made her excited.

"But Fuyuki is so big, where are we supposed to find it?"

Because Miyu fell into a strange world line, Jiang You couldn't be sure where Sapphire was now, so it was possible that he had found other girls as contract partners.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should still be at the Edelfeldt residence. Come to think of it, they actually moved to Fuyuki. Fuyuki is really crowded. Oh, and Ruby should still be there."

Jiang You looked at Illya's backpack. Illya carried this thing out with the excuse that she brought an umbrella in case it rained, but in fact it was to hide some shady magic wand.

"Here I am."

Ruby poked her head out of Illya's backpack. "It's better not to call me outside. It's easy to be discovered. Sir, you don't want Illya to be discovered as a magical girl, do you?"

"No one will notice. We'll be leaving soon. Can you find the location of the sapphire?"

"Of course you can, but are you sure that little girl has the potential to become a magical girl?"

Ruby made a questioning sound, not having carefully examined Miyu's physical condition.

"You know very well, even though we're called magical girls, we're still basically magicians. Without strong magical talent, you can't transform. Let me be clear, we're very strict. Only girls with extraordinary talents like Illya are eligible."

"Have you forgotten how you were summoned to my side of the world?"

Jiang You thought to himself that the rating of your color wand might be more than just magic talent.

"It's because of Miyu's future with you that she has your cards. Furthermore, Miyu is actually Illya from a parallel world. Both were created as machines that granted other people's wishes. Her magical talent is undeniable."

"Why is the topic getting so serious again?"

Illya has become accustomed to Jiang You suddenly saying some very explosive news. She originally thought that she was just an ordinary primary school student, but now she can no longer think so. The thought of being born as a tool is a bit terrifying. She instinctively wants to change the subject and ask Jiang You about the specific situation later when she is ready.

"Since Miyu is alright, let's start looking for the sapphire!"

"Okay... Miyu is cute after all. Sapphire is currently... well, still at that Gold Diamond's house. Didn't we agree to find a purer girl together? What's so special about staying with that expired thing? There's only sweet and soft loli in this world..."

Just as Ruby was about to preach about XP, Illya simply zipped up her backpack.

"...Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang You, would something like a magic wand be thrown into prison?"

Ruby's personality bothered Illya.

"In theory, the law doesn't cover this kind of thing."
