Space-Time Corridor is the name of this grotesque space that Melu is walking in.
No matter which direction, there are countless pictures passing by at different speeds. The moving picture frames that Fei Zhen saw actually represent a world, and this is the center of all worlds—if anyone is lucky enough to Appearing here, even if it is only for a few seconds, can have a great harvest, not to mention walking safely like a girl.
The box that the blond maid has been carrying has been opened at this time, and there are golden light balls of different sizes inside, and some images flash in each light ball, and one of them plays a blurry figure bending over to Charles. The picture of the golden hickey on the forehead, and the scene of the figure lightly defeating Aizen and crushing Bengyu—these balls of light have in common that there is a person who cannot see clearly in all the flashing pictures. Whose figure is it? They merge together to form a golden thread, guiding the girl to move forward in this seemingly narrow but actually vast and endless corridor of time and space.
This is the clue for her to find her master. For a long time, Meilu has been searching in different worlds like this. The place guided by the golden silk thread is the place where the master stayed. It will lead her to find the master or the breath of the master. The place that has been left the deepest—no matter which one, for the girl, she will happily serve it as her master and faithfully serve it until she achieves her goal.
As for the occasional voices and images related to her, Meilu knew that they were fragments of her own memory, representing things that had happened in the past.
For a maid, the latter is far less important than the former. As long as she finds the true master in her heart, whatever master she lacks can be made up for her.
Her master is omnipotent!
The silk thread that had been fluttering in mid-air suddenly pointed to one of the "picture frames" and stopped shaking. Mei Lu's eyes lit up, and when she was about to walk towards it, suddenly the space she was in shook violently, floating in countless The "picture frame" in the picture was almost submerged into the sea of stars, and the normally calm girl suddenly changed her expression.
"Time and space turbulence? It's really troublesome..."
She seldom complained in a humane way, but her legs sped up. At this time, a strong wind blew in the stable space, and the wind became stronger and stronger, but within a few seconds, it had turned into a hurricane, and countless "picture frames" "Having been turned upside down by it, just before being involved, Mei Lu successfully positioned the world and jumped into the "picture frame" in a hurry.
The login procedure is a bit bad, but luckily it doesn't affect the host's destination...
While thinking this way, the maid who was unfortunately affected by the turbulence fell into a coma.
Germany, Einzbern Castle.
The people living in this castle recently heard a gossip that their little master Ilyasviel recently had an exclusive maid, and it was arranged by her parents, Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu. The servants from outside the castle.
In order to achieve this, the couple actually spent a lot of effort, excluding the mother and daughter with pure personalities. First of all, Emiya Kiritsugu himself had doubts about this maid who accidentally broke through the forest barrier, but he couldn't hold back his wife and daughter. Like, when the senior and junior clenched their fists at the same time and shouted "I want it!", even Mr. Kiritsugu, who is known as the "Magician Killer", could only back down, and then he and his wife tried to persuade the current The owner of the castle, who is also the current owner of Einzbern, agreed to keep the rescued girl—Melu, who is also working as a maid in the castle.
"It's all right." Mr. Kiritsugu said to the blond maid amidst the cheers of his wife and daughter, seeing the two happily hugging Meilu, his face turned cold again, "I hope what you said is true , is really just a maid, and I really treat Illya with my heart, otherwise I can let you stay, and I can also let you... "
"Husband." Before the husband's threatening words were finished, his wife stopped him. Irisviel, who had the same silver hair and red pupils as Illya, touched Kiritsugu's lips with her slender fingers, with a smile on her face. , "Don't do this, Melu won't do what you worry about. Both Illya and I trust her."
Illya, who was still hugging Merlu's calf, nodded her head in agreement: "Yeah!"
So it will be less than ten days since she came here, isn't it too much for your hearts to be bribed so quickly
Mr. Kiritsugu was heartbroken, but the two-to-one family vote made him watch silently as the blond maid gave him a perfect maid salute dignifiedly: "Missy is my master, and Mel will never let Disappointed sir and madam."
Emiya Kiritsugu is the son-in-law of the Einzbern family, and his status is relatively poor at present. If he can win the Holy Grail War a few years later, the Einzbern family will naturally adjust his treatment accordingly , but now... It can be seen from the title.
Fortunately, Mr. Kiritsugu didn't care too much about this matter. The only things he could value in this family were his wife and daughter and the resources given by participating in the Holy Grail War.
So, he just put his vigilant eyes on the maid...
"Melu! Didn't you say to make a soufflé for me? Hurry up! Let's go to the kitchen together!"
"Ah! Ilya is so cunning, Mom, I want to eat too!"
The wives and daughters hugged the maid and left smiling.
Mr. Kiritsugu who was thrown down: "..."
So, don't overdo it!
There are new servants at home, or in other words, there are new people in Miss Ilya's room, so the "old people" who were serving before must have to move their seats to some extent.
For example, Sera, the head maid of Einzbern Castle and one of the artificial humans who also shoulder the responsibility of protecting and teaching Illya.
"Ma'am, Miss Ilya."
At this time, she was wearing the exclusive black and white maid dress of the Einzbern family that even her hair was wrapped in. She was sweeping the dust in the corridor with a broom.
"Serra!" The mother and daughter Ilya were also very happy to see her, "We are going to eat the dim sum made by Mei Lu! Come when you are finished!"
"Melu's cooking is super delicious!"
Alice first shot an arrow at the head maid without knowing it, and then Illya followed suit.
"I, I still have a lot of work..." Keeping a smile, Sierra politely refused.
"Really? What a pity..." The master felt a little regretful, but soon walked away happily.
Until the three figures gradually walked away and turned into the corner and disappeared, Sera's raised mouth immediately hung down, and the broom was creaking with both hands, and the pair of Einzbern family man-made almost had red pupils. Full of resentment and unhappiness.
"Is that... why you hate... her?" A female voice with a cold tone suddenly sounded at this moment.
"Lijielit!?" Sera was taken aback, "When did you come?"
"When Madam and the others just appeared." The girl who appeared behind Serra was also dressed as a maid. Compared with Serra, her face was expressionless, because the maid hat of the Einzbern family made her head look like an Arabian girl. Like women, only the face is exposed outside, making it difficult for the pair of maids to distinguish sometimes, "Hate... that Melu... got favored?"
"You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't have one!" Sera strongly denied being pierced by her sister, "I am the head maid of this castle, and what I have to do is not only to be responsible to Miss Illya, but also There are many other things to do... Besides, Mr. Kiritsugu also gave me a task to monitor this new maid... "
"You... hate her, don't you?" Compared to the emotional and expressive Sera, Lijie Lite showed no emotion, and even her pronunciation was not continuous, she just stared at her sister to confirm this fact.
"Lijie Lite." Sera could only sigh, and said to her sister as if persuading and educating her, "Miss Ilya likes her very much now, and Madam also likes her very much, as long as she doesn't do anything that harms the master." Well, as servants, we shouldn't disturb the mansion because of our own selfishness. I...Although I'm a little lost, I'm not too petty to do anything."
Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa , when my sister's expressionless face applauded: "As expected of... Master Maid..."
"Well, of course!" Sera, who couldn't tell whether Lijie Lite was praising or hurting, said angrily, "If you are so free, come and help with the cleaning! Didn't Madam and the others say they want to eat snacks? Maybe you can go to the kitchen to mix one!"
"Meilu's... dim sum is... quite delicious..." The emotionless sister said something, then paused, "I... don't hate her."
Sera: "..." So Lijie Lite, which side are you on
Before Merlu came, Sera and Lijielit were not the only servants in charge of serving Alice and Illya. There were even dozens of artificial maids. Not allowed to speak freely, much less treated as a human being. In this castle, there are countless artificial people like this, just like the robots that specialize in serving humans in the future world, it is even more impossible to be respected if they are not valued.
Being robbed of her job, Sierra was unconvinced at first, but after a secret struggle, she had to admit that she lost to the other party in all aspects of housekeeping, not because she did not do well enough, but because Mei Lu On the basis of doing better, it can be more in line with the master's wishes... The huge gap made Mr. Kiritsugu, who objected to Meru's side at the beginning, stay without saying anything.
With servants who are human and better at pleasing their masters, artificial humans who say they are maids but are all failures are really not competitive.
After cleaning the corridor, replacing the vases on the corridor with fresh flowers, and inspecting the garden of the castle to make sure there are no omissions, Sela habitually runs to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Miss Illya and the others—go forward Halfway through, she suddenly remembered that all the food and beverage work had been handed over to Mei Lu, so she sighed secretly and retreated.
When Sera reappeared in front of the master, after dinner, she was instructing the servants to remove the plates, and the human maid who was very different from the entire Einzbern man-made was being held by the eldest lady affectionately.
"Melu, why don't you go for an after-dinner walk in the forest with us! Kiritsugu gave mom a car, and it drives superbly!"
"Then it's not a walk..." Emiya Kiritsugu didn't finish speaking, but his wife's eyes lit up over there.
"That's right! Before it's dark, let's drive in the forest!" Irisviel clasped her fists happily and nodded.
It's like a group of kids showing off their toys... Both Mr. Kiritsugu and the head maid present were secretly frowning and thinking this way.
"I'm honored." Naturally, Melu would not refuse the master's invitation.
At this moment, the little Illya beckoned to her, and the maid obediently squatted down, lowered her head so that her eyes were shorter than the little girl, and looked at her docilely. Illya didn't notice this detail, she just stretched out her chubby little hand, and took off the maid's hat that covered Merlu's entire head, and the brilliant blond hair immediately flowed out and spread over the girl's shoulders .
For a moment, Sera felt that the golden color was too dazzling. It was a rare color in Einzbern Castle, which was covered with snow all year round and always haunted by white-haired and red-eyed man-made humans.
"Sure enough, it looks the best like this!" The little master looked happy, "I like Merlu's blond hair! Don't wear a hat from now on, okay?"
"Yes, I will follow your instructions." The maid who had been transformed into a new look immediately agreed with a smile.
... Does this mean that she has lost completely
Watching the combination of the family of three and a maid gradually leave, Sierra thought to herself.
Letting go of competing with Melu, Selah's mentality became more balanced. Even if the young master shook the maid's hand to let her take a bath, Selah, who was robbed of her job again, would not react like the first few days So strong.
Both Alice and Illya have stayed in the castle since they were born, always innocent and ignorant. Because of their abilities and identities, they are high in this castle, and they don't need to look at anyone's face to act, so He didn't notice Sera's loss at all, but Emiya Kiritsugu saw it, and he didn't say anything. In his eyes, the artificial humans living in this castle are pathetic, but they cannot leave the castle because of their extremely short lifespan, and he has no power to change these.
For the time being... so be it, when he wins the Holy Grail War and gets the Holy Grail, he can always create a peaceful world where everyone can be saved.
As the night gradually deepened, the masters went to bed one after another, and then it was naturally time for the servants to return to their rooms to rest.
As the head maid of the castle, Sera didn't feel so relaxed. Almost every day, she was the last one to fall asleep, and it was the same today.
Except for Ms. Ilya and Lijielit, the bodies of all artificial humans are fragile. After a busy day, Sera is naturally tired, especially these days because of the arrival of newcomers, her mind is a little heavier and she is tired. It's getting worse. Just as she was about to open the door and enter the room, a sweet female voice stopped her.
"Good evening, Ms. Serra."
Sierra turned her head and saw the blond maid standing there with a tray, on which was a cup of dessert, and there was a pleasant smell of almond milk in the lid that was intentionally half-opened. floating over.
"What's the matter with you?" Sera asked a little bluntly. In fact, this was the first time she had a private conversation with this newcomer, and someone was usually present. "Is this for Miss Illya?"
"Miss is already asleep." The blond maid replied with a smile, "This is the almond milk I made specially for you... I found you suddenly, and I wanted to tell you something, it was a bit abrupt, so I made it specially This as a visit…”
Sierra's slender eyebrows frowned, even if she smelled the alluring fragrance, she didn't intend to say anything more to the newcomer, and when she was about to refuse, she listened to the other party.
"You have been in a bad mood for the past few days. It must be because of me. Regarding this matter, I actually have something to say to you, Ms. Serra. Do you really want to hear about me?"
The head maid of the Einzbern family looked at the smiling girl opposite, fell silent for a while, and finally opened the door and said, "Come in."
Emiya Kiritsugu has always been suspicious of the maid named Meilu, but he never expresses his position very clearly, and his wife and daughter's love for the maid makes him feel powerless... Although the other party's ability is indeed very strong, and the service is so thoughtful. He couldn't name a bad one, but he was still not happy.
"Melu!" the maid Changchun called out to the maid who was playing with Ilya, "Master is going to prepare a dinner today, here is the list of ingredients and tableware, as well as the layout of the hall, tables and chairs, tablecloths, decorations Flowers and candles... Would you like to see what else is missing?"
"Let me take a look..." Melu walked towards Sera after Ilya let go.
The two maids were having various discussions with a pile of lists. The harmonious scene that seemed to be coordinated at first glance made Mr. Kiritsugu feel a stomachache for no reason. A few days ago, the head maid was still very unhappy with the new arrival. Why did she change again? Become a wife and daughter
Forget about Alice and Illya, what's going on with you? Does this maid have any special attraction to the women of the Einzbern family
