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

"No, because I knew you would come to see me."

Illya bumped into Jiang You's arms. In fact, she was a little scared, but since Jiang You was here, everything didn't matter.

"These doors are the gateways to other worlds, right? I didn't dare touch them, fearing you wouldn't be able to find me."

"You little fool."

Jiang You laughed, "Have you forgotten the first Holy Grail War we participated in? How did we act together back then?"

Illya then remembered that Jiang You could summon her directly, but because she hadn't used it in so long, she hadn't remembered it for a while. So she puffed up her cheeks and said, "So, it's my fault."

"Are you Lin Daiyu from where?"

Jiang You picked her up and said, "Let's go back."

Just when Jiang You was about to send Illya back to the Moyi world to report safety, his eyes suddenly turned to a door that was not in the same direction as the other doors.

It represents the door to exit the game and return to reality.

Chapter 391 Alaya: Hehehe, I must survive!

Seeing Jiang You suddenly stop, Illya was a little puzzled. Seeing Jiang You staring at a door in the distance, Illya couldn't help but focus her eyes on the door as well.

"What's wrong, Jiang You. Is there something wrong with that door?"

"..."

Jiang You hesitated for a moment, and felt that it would be okay to explain his true situation to Illya at this time.

"Behind that door is my world."

"your world?"

Illya didn't understand Jiang You's meaning for a moment, so she followed Jiang You's words and made a joke, "Are you the God of Creation from somewhere?"

But Jiang You did not take up the topic and continued looking at the door with a serious face.

“…Are you really the God of Creation?!”

Illya thought about it seriously, because Jiang You did have experience fighting against a god-level opponent, and even won. That god-level servant was currently eating and drinking at her house. Add to that the Noble Phantasm that transcended the laws, and it seemed there was some possibility.

Illya's reaction made Jiang You laugh: "What's the point of this? How can I be the Creator God? What I mean is, the world over there is where I grew up. I'm not actually a Servant. I'm not dead yet."

Jiang You hadn't explained it clearly. Actually, Illya's statement was not wrong in a sense. The people who created the Type-Moon world, or the authors, and Jiang You were all members of the same race, called "humans," who grew up in the same world. To them, Jiang You was a being on the same level as the Creator God. But saying that was a bit embarrassing.

"?"

Illya didn't quite understand what Jiang You wanted to say.

"Don't worry about this question too much. To you, I am the Jiang You in your memory."

Seeing that Illya was starting to feel dizzy, Jiang You touched her head and told her not to think too much.

"So, do you want to try to visit my side of the world?"

Perhaps this method could be used to verify my recent doubts. If Illya really did pass through that door… Jiang You almost laughed at his own thought. He really was a bit too self-conscious. But now that it had come to this, how could he be content without giving it a try?

"Jiang You, is this where you grew up? Even though you still haven't explained a lot of things clearly, I want to go!"

Illya wanted to know Jiang You better, and now that she had the chance, how could she refuse?

"Then let's go, although I don't know if you can really make it."

Jiang You held Illya close to the door and pushed it open.

The feeling of crossing the ocean came here, and Jiang You's senses began to return.

When Jiang You opened his eyes again, he had returned to reality. He pushed open the hatch of the diving chamber and took a deep breath. Good, Illya didn't show up here.

Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt a little lost. He laughed at himself, thinking that he had really traveled through time. He took a deep breath and logged into his game again.

"I'm sorry, it seems there's really no way to get through."

When Jiang You pushed open the door and returned to the world chosen in the script, Illya was leaning against the door frame, waiting for Jiang You's return.

Illya's face was solemn, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she forced a smile: "...It doesn't matter. Jiang You, you will always come back to me, right? No matter what, I want to stay by your side. In return, you promise me that you won't leave me, okay?"

"Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Before Illya opened the door, she was full of energy. How could her mood change so drastically after logging back in? "Are you worried that I'll abandon you? Don't be sad, I'll always be with you. I'm so sorry to have made you worry again. It's too desolate here. Let's go back."

"Well, let's go back together."

Illya held Jiang You's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

So the two of them pushed open the door to the Moyi world and headed towards that world.

The moment the door closed, two figures slowly walked out from behind other doors.

"Illya knows the truth now. Aren't you worried that she will tell this person the truth?"

Gaia glanced at the door representing "reality". If they had not kidnapped Illya at the critical moment, Illya would have appeared in the place constructed by Mooncell, which Jiang You believed to be the real world.

At that moment, all illusions will be revealed, and Jiang You will instantly learn that he has traveled through time. This world will then cease to exist, and everything will collapse into a singularity. Only one high-level being named "Jiang You" will exist in the main universe until he completely abandons his own will, or accumulates enough power to complete what is called an ascension, but is actually a return. After his departure, the universe will then begin to evolve again. However, the time it takes cannot be calculated using "nayuta", "inconceivable", or "immeasurable".

No matter which outcome it was, it was too horrifying. Once this possibility was realized, even the entire universe trembled with fear.

"She won't. If she tells it, she won't be able to be with Jiang You anymore."

Alaya didn't think so. "Actually, we should have done this a long time ago. With Illya covering us, the possibility of being exposed is greatly reduced. At least while Illya is still alive, we don't have to worry too much about this problem."

"That's only a few decades, even if Illya is given a longer life. Before this, Jiang Youhui also discovered that his body had not changed at all in decades. In the reality he knew, this was impossible. Human lifespan... is still too short."

Gaia still felt that time was too tight, but she didn't dare to interfere with Jiang You at will. If Jiang You came up with another crazy idea, she was afraid that she would be cut off again. It would be better to let him act according to the original script.

"Let's take it one step at a time. There's always a way."

Alaya thought that perhaps they could use Illya to convince Jiang You to stay in this world, as humans are very concerned about their offspring. Although Jiang You is not a human here, they are a common species anyway. This way, Illya can become the "unlock" for Jiang You to accept this world. The only problem is how to provide such a function without Jiang You doubting it.

"And instead of worrying about Illya, you should think more about that AI. She's the one who wants the world to be in chaos."

"What can you do?"

Gaia knocked hard on the door in front of her, but because it was a composition of Jiang You's subconscious mind, even she couldn't shake it at all.

"She's in a world anchored by Jiang You, and we can't exert any power at all!"

"It's really troublesome."

Although Alaya is more inclined towards Jiangyou, it does not mean that she wants to see the world destroyed.

"Why not let her become Jiang You's 'shackles'? After all, for Jiang You, that's the real world."

"..."

Gaia was speechless. Is this really something that pan-human consciousness would do?

Chapter 392: Illya: Sprinting and flashing back as soon as she was kicked out of the track.

"Ah chirp!"

BB rubbed her nose. She didn't understand why she had caught a cold in her current body. Even though she had been transformed into a flesh-and-blood human, her essence remained unchanged: a superior AI with a certain degree of authority over the world (it could indeed be called a world now).

Now a more clear description is that they are superior humans who have the authority of laws, and are truly superior people.

So, for a school doctor like her, health was nothing to worry about. But she still sneezed, indicating that a powerful being was targeting her.

"Are they those two with the inhibitory force? Seriously, they don't even have a specific form, but they're trying to make a cute face. They must be up to something bad! Humph... They even blocked BB's live broadcast room. But that won't stop me. I'll be back soon!"

“But why do I feel like I’ve been suddenly pushed onto the track?”

BB didn't know why she had this premonition. "Hakuno-san? But Hakuno-san and I don't have much to do here. If nothing unexpected happens, Zabiko-san will probably live out her life as an ordinary high school student. Well, isn't that good? Anyway, whatever, let's start the show! Today, I'm going to make every opponent I meet cry!"

After sending Illya to Emiya's house, Jiang You left. Since the facts had been confirmed, there was nothing to worry about.

Due to limited space, the two Illyas shared a room. The girls (one of them wasn't actually) had endless topics to talk about, as they had the past two days. Sometimes Illya would explain magic and the events of the Holy Grail War, and other times they'd chat about topics like Jiang You and Shirou Emiya.

However, today, both of them were obviously not in the mood. One was bent forward in frustration, wanting to cry but unable to do so, while the other was curled up in the corner, staring blankly ahead.

"Damn Jiang You! Give me back my pocket money!"

Because there were no rooms left at home, the servants had to pay out of their own pockets to help them book a hotel. The small treasury that had been slightly enriched by Jiang You's visit was suddenly depleted again. She was a little stubborn and refused Jiang You's "reward", even though she loved the food.

Moyi soon discovered that the room was a little quiet today, and the other self seemed to be in a very low mood.

Moyi hurried over and sat down next to Illya.

"What happened? You haven't been feeling well since you came back. Did Jiang You bully you? If he did, tell me. Meiyou and I..."

Moyi and Miyu have a pretty good relationship now, unlike the original work where they were rivals at the beginning, but Miyu is obviously on Jiangyou's side, so she is the only one who can help Illya.

“好吧，我绝对会揍他一顿的！居然敢欺负自己可爱的女朋友，真是过分！”

"Girlfriend?"

Illya sighed. She now understood why she felt a sense of alienation from Jiang You. To Jiang You, she, and even the world, were all fake, mere game characters who couldn't accompany him for his entire life. That's why Jiang You showed kindness to every character because he truly liked them. Of course, this emotion wasn't love.

But she couldn't bring herself to tell the truth. If Jiang You couldn't accept this world, it would be destroyed. To maintain the harmony of the game, she couldn't even make up with Jiang You, even though she had already prepared to strengthen their bond.

"Illya, what if you really like someone, but that person lives in another world? He treats the world you're in as a game, but you can't tell him that this world is real. Due to the rules of the game, you can't get too close to him. You can't even use your identity to meet him in his world. But you really like him, what will you do? Accept this reality, or..."

Moyi could tell that Illya was talking about herself and Jiang You, but because Illya could only give a general description and could not say it specifically, Moyi could not imagine what the scene was like, so she could only ask tentatively.

"Then can I go to his world?"

"Yes, but we can't meet."

Illya almost went to Jiang You's world, but the restraining force pulled her back.

"Why can't we meet?"

Moyi just felt it was so troublesome. Why did falling in love have so many twists and turns?

"Because the truth about the world will be discovered."

Illya felt that she couldn't continue talking, and if Moyi asked again, she would have to stop the topic.

Although she still didn't understand, Moyi offered her opinion: "Why not just hide your identities? In this world, you're lovers, and in that world, you're lovers with different identities. It's like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. You live together with different identities until you completely accept each other. Don't you think that's romantic?"

"!!!"

Illya suddenly felt the vastness of the world. Since Jiang You couldn't be with her here, she could go to his world. She hugged Mo Yi in an instant, with such strength that Mo Yi almost couldn't breathe.

"Thank you, thank you, Illya!"

Moyi didn't understand what Illya wanted to say, so he could only try hard to squeeze out a few words.

"No...you're welcome..."

"Let me borrow the Ruby for a moment. I need to find two 'people'."

Illya took out Jiang You's card. After being discovered, Jiang You also gave her three cards. Even though she had no use for them, she had to have them.

"Eh?"

The ruby ​​lying on the table as a decoration had to be forced to open for business.

"Did something happen to Jiang You?"

Seeing Illya's eagerness, Moyi's curiosity was piqued. She was really curious about why Illya had become like this. It was clearly her fault, so why couldn't she understand what Illya was thinking?

"I'll tell you if I get a chance."

Illya used the same rhetoric as Jiang You, completed the dream summoning, and headed to a world full of doors to other parallel worlds.

"They all say the same thing."

After watching Illya disappear, Moyi lay back on the bed bored.

"My other self must have learned something. What secret does Mr. Jiang You have? Damn, I'm so curious!"

When it comes to the topic of secrets and love, Mo Yi feels like a cat is scratching her heart. She must find out the truth if she has the chance. Speaking of which, doesn't her other self look exactly like her?

Moyi came up with an idea in his little head, and decided to try it out when the time was right.
