What is happiness
This is an old but enduring question.
I remember someone once said, "When you are hungry, I have a piece of bread, but you don't, so I am happier than you. When you have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet, I have a toilet seat, but you don't, so I am happier than you."
Happiness is so simple. With comparison and knowing satisfaction, happiness will naturally follow.
Illyasviel is happy now.
She saw her father and mother. She knew she was not abandoned and that her parents still loved her. The reason why she did not follow the agreement and return to her right away was because her mother had health problems and her father needed to take care of her.
Although she has suffered a lot during this period, compared to her mother's health, Ilia is willing to suffer ten or a hundred times more, because her love for her parents is no less than their love for her.
In a place called Fuyuki, far away from the "Winter City", the family was finally reunited and could finally live together as before.
The new home is not as big as the old one, but Illya really likes it here, because it is not as cold as the "Winter City", because her parents are here, because there are more people who love her here, and more "warmth" - just like what the brother Shinji, no, the liar Shinji said.
Yes, he is a liar. He is younger than me, but he still lied to me and called me brother. Isn't he just a little taller? Humph, if you don't apologize, I will never forgive you, humph!
"Illya, Shinji and the others are here to play with you."
"real?"
Her mother's call interrupted Illya's temper. She immediately forgot her anger, jumped up from the ground, put on her slippers and jogged all the way.
Hum, I just said I don't forgive him, I didn't say I won't play with him, don't get me wrong - because he can always find a lot of fun things. (Whispering, mumbling)
"Illya, slow down, the ground is slippery, be careful not to fall."
"I understand, Auntie Maiya, no, Maiya's mother."
The one who reminded Illya was Hisau Maiya. Illya had heard of this name a long time ago and knew that she was her father's partner. The two of them had known each other the longest time in the family, longer than Illya and her mother, but she only became a member of the family recently.
By the way, the name Maiya Mom was Irisviel’s request. Although Illya didn’t understand why she had to call her that, it didn’t feel bad to have another mother who loved her. But why did she always blush every time she called Maiya Mom
I asked my dad, but he wouldn't tell me.
As she was thinking, Illya saw her father. He was sorting things in the warehouse in the yard. It seemed that he would go out for a while with Maiya's mother in a few days. He said he was going to look for a brother.
This time it is a real brother, the child of Maiya's mother. He disappeared before Illya was born. His name seems to be "Sigma". Anyway, it sounds weird. I hope that Dad and Maiya's mother can find him smoothly.
"Illya, here, here."
Outside the living room door, Illya's mother, Irisviel, was holding a fruit plate and smiling at her.
"Mom." Illya called sweetly, and rubbed against Irisviel like a kitten.
This was a new habit she developed after arriving in Fuyuki. When she first arrived in Fuyuki, her mother seemed to have lost her body and could not hug Illya like before, nor could she leave the dilapidated warehouse. Illya was very worried, so every time she went to see her mother, she would touch her to see if she had recovered. This habit did not change until her mother got a new body.
"Don't act like a spoiled child, Illya, and bring the fruits to the guests." Irisviel looked at her daughter lovingly.
"Um."
Illya tiptoed, took the fruit plate, walked into the living room, and greeted everyone politely.
"Teacher Yustisa—" The ancestor of the Einzbern family, the great benefactor of Mom and Dad, and the person Illya admires the most.
"Aunt Orange—" She is a puppeteer who is even more powerful than Master Yahad. She is the one who made the bodies for Teacher Yustisa and her mother. She is Illya's doctor. She can make Illya grow up quickly and be as tall as her mother.
"Sister Fujino—" Aunt Orange's student and assistant, with beautiful eyes, not talkative, and has a lovely smile.
"Sakura—" A younger sister who can write strange characters, a girl as beautiful as Illya, and Illya's best friend.
And—hmm, that’s it.
"Hey, Illya, why didn't you call me?" Someone who was ignored protested unhappily.
"I don't talk to liars, liars, liars, big liars."
Illya crossed her arms, closed her eyes and turned her head to the side.
Shinji, who was called a liar, slapped the box beside him and said loudly, "Ah, it's a rare occasion that I brought something fun today. If you don't talk to me, I won't know how to play with it."
Illya snorted, quietly opened one eye, and observed secretly. Her cute appearance made everyone smile knowingly.
"Sakura, let me tell you, this is the latest joint work of Yustiza and Sister Orange. It's very interesting and fun. Since Illya doesn't want to play, let's play it by ourselves."
Shinji chuckled and opened the half-person-high suitcase.
This is a set of hand-crafted game chess. The chess pieces handmade by Orange are based on the characters of the Matou and Emiya families. They are more detailed than any other figures, and the degree of action restoration has reached more than 90%.
The chessboard is created by Yustisa, which supports both ordinary chess playing methods and real-time operation of chess pieces with magic. It can simultaneously exercise magic control while playing chess, making it both educational and entertaining.
The rules and scripts of the war chess can be written at will. The first set of scripts launched was written by Orange herself, named "The Brave Fights the Demon King". The leader of the heroes is the magician Orange, and the actor who plays the demon king is Orange's sister Aoko. When Shinji was trying out the game, it took him several minutes to hold back the urge to complain - Sister Orange, you really are always making fun of your own sister.
Of course, the private goods that Orange brought in did not affect the quality of the chess piece. As soon as the box was opened, Illya's other eye could not be closed. However, due to what she said before, she could not talk to Shinji and could only express her desire with her eyes.
"Illya." The kind-hearted Fujino couldn't bear to watch and whispered, "Don't talk to Shinji, talk to us. We will teach you how to play."
"That's right, brother, please don't bully Sister Illya." Sakura also joined in.
"Ah, you two traitors, whose side are you on?"
Shinji scratched his hair and looked unhappily at the girl next to him who looked like a sister. Of course, he was not really angry, he just thought it was more fun this way.
"Illya, this way."
"Sister Illya, this is it."
Fujino and Sakura answered at the same time.
Suddenly, Illya's head was raised to the sky.
"Thank you, Fujino-nee and Sakura."
It’s great to meet you all, and it’s great to be here in Fuyuki.
PS: Regarding the question of Kiritsugu looking for Illya, "Fate Zero" gave a very clear answer at the end. He adopted Shirou first, and then went to find Illya in the name of traveling after everything was settled. Unfortunately, Kiritsugu was half disabled at that time and could not enter the barrier. He could only wander in the wind and snow many times until he almost froze to death.
