Emiya Kiritsugu felt that the popularity of the new maid was a bit too good. In less than a month, he felt that no matter the servants who served by their side or the android servants elsewhere were very friendly to her, every time he suspected that the other party was It's not about playing tricks in private.
But as early as when she was in a coma in the forest, it was tested that the other party did not have any magic power, and the fact that she was obviously just an ordinary person also made him unable to find evidence that she was wrong, let alone tell his wife and daughter who would definitely laugh at him , I can only secretly strengthen my vigilance while being depressed.
With the passage of time, his vigilance looks like a joke that no one knows under the respectful and submissive maidservant for four or five years, not to mention the Alice mother and daughter who have been habitually dependent on Melu for a long time. Two, is himself...
"Sir, the coffee you want." At night, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was about to turn on the light to study materials in the study, received a refreshing drink from the maid.
"Thank you." The mellow hand-ground coffee had just been placed on the table, and he had already habitually picked up the cup and put it to his mouth. The hot drink prepared for him by the maid who had long been familiar with him was always something he wanted to drink and just happened to be able to drink. The temperature and timing are as precise as his killer who goes out to do assassination missions.
Fragrant coffee poured into his mouth, and Mr. Kiritsugu, stimulated by the hot drink, finally remembered that what he was looking at was the profile of the opponent who was selected by the Holy Grail this time to participate in the Holy Grail War. He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the study room. The maid who brought the coffee had already left.
He breathed a sigh of relief at Mei Lu's understanding, but felt a little worried.
Loyalty without any selfishness, thinking only for the owner throughout the whole process, all acts of helping others are only considered to provide better services to the owner, without any utilitarian mentality.
—A perfect and dutiful maid who can't find a single fault at all. This is how the magician-killer Emiya Kiritsugu evaluated Meru after four years.
It is precisely because she is so perfect that she has won the trust and love of many people over the past four years. Even he, who is best at finding weaknesses, can't find any flaws. As time goes by together, he relaxes his vigilance more and more, which makes Emiya Kiritsugu even more feel worried.
"tasty."
Mr. Kiritsugu, who was worried while continuing to drink his coffee, sighed half-give up today, and continued with his work.
Why did Einzbern hire him, and even marry Alice Ferr, the carrier of the Lesser Holy Grail, because of the upcoming Fourth Holy Grail War
Compared to getting the Holy Grail and making a wish to create a peaceful world where no one cries, a submissive maid who has never shown any malice or even perfect everything is a trivial thing that is several steps behind.
The castle and the vast forest near it are covered with snow almost all the year round. There are basically only two kinds of weather that Merlu has seen since coming here—snowing and snowing.
Because there are various magical devices in the castle, there are two temperature systems outside the castle and inside the castle, and it may be tightly wrapped outside, but inside the house like Mrs. Iris Fell wearing a thin long skirt all day long, there is no problem. question.
"Our Einzbern family is a workshop established by the disciples of the magicians who realized the third magic. Abandoning this castle, the cyborgs left in the castle are still working diligently to realize this idea. This is later... and now Einzbern. Compared with other magic families, our family is better at In alchemy…”
In the magic classroom specially prepared for Illya, the voice of the head maid Sera rang out in an orderly manner.
"Holy Grail War, Yusanjia, Einzbern..." Receiving the educational guidance from the magic teacher Sela, Ilya lay down on the table with a bored face, interested in the various precious magic books spread out in front of her. Que Que, "Kiritsugu and mother are going to take the holy relic given by the great-grandfather to summon the heroic spirit? They don't call me for such a big thing, so boring..."
"Miss Ilya!" Sera, who was still holding a small blackboard at the desk and teaching seriously, suddenly felt helpless, "You are only eight years old now, the Holy Grail War is far away from you, and it is not something you can participate in. How about It is true to listen to the lectures carefully and learn what you should know.”
"Ah, it's so annoying!" The eight-year-old girl immediately played a childish temper because she didn't have the suppression of her parents, puffing her mouth and waving her fists impatiently, "I don't want to learn, I've been sitting here for a long time! The usage rate of magic alchemy magic circuit is so annoying! I want to go out to play! I want to watch the summoning of heroic spirits! I want to eat some snacks!"
"Miss Ilya..." Sera was interrupted by the little girl before she could finish her sentence.
"Melu! Come and save me! Sera will bully me!!" Yuxue's cute little girl begged for help, making Sera take back the steps she was just about to step forward, and threw herself at the girl helplessly. The blond maid who has been standing in the corner acting as an invisible person.
"Melu, hurry up and persuade me." Sera, who is the head maid and also a first-class magician and educator, also wanted to pull Melu for help.
"Ah, this is really embarrassing." The girl standing in the room tilted her head and thought about it pretending to be distressed, "Well, I guess they should be back soon at this time, why don't we go How about eating snacks and drinking tea in the front hall and waiting for the husband and wife to come back? Anyway, if you don’t see the summoned heroic spirit with your own eyes, Ms. Sela, you are not in the mood to listen to any young ladies.”
For this suggestion, Illya agreed with both hands, and Sierra had no choice but to do so after hearing the reason of Melu. Who let the madam say something before they left, which caused the little master to miss it so much.
Compared with the magician courses that I started since I was a child, drinking tea and snacks is obviously more suitable for Illya. Sitting on the table and chairs in the front hall, she is drinking black tea with fresh milk while enjoying it. Looking at the freshly baked walnut cake, even if Sierra reprimanded her for being "not ladylike enough", her short legs dangled in a good mood.
What is the Heroic Spirit that Kiritsugu summoned? I heard from my mother before that it is very likely to be a SABER who is on the third level. I really want to see him soon!
With such a mood, she couldn't help but tell Melu and Sela next to her. Just as the maids were about to respond, the footsteps of adults came from the door that must be passed.
"It's Mom and Kiritsugu!" Hearing the familiar footsteps, Illya immediately left the tea, ignored Sera's complaint of "I want a lady" and rushed forward.
Sure enough, she only ran a short distance before she saw the parents walking in the front and the petite figure in royal blue behind them.
"Huh?" The little girl stopped, a little stunned.
Blonde hair, royal blue European-style aristocratic dress, and the magic power exuding all over her body can tell at a glance that it is a heroic spirit. At this time, this strange girl heroic spirit seems to have encountered something unhappy, and the beautiful but solemn face is faint. Some low pressure - if she is more careful, she will definitely find that the other party is not the only one with low pressure, the atmosphere among the three adults is not good.
But this is not what Illya will focus on. The little girl just carefully looked at the Heroic Spirit summoned by Kiritsugu, and then looked up at the top of the other's neatly combed head, but there was a stubborn hair standing on it. Can't help blurting out.
"This blond hair is shorter than Merru."
In an instant, something seemed to freeze at the scene.
