"Sure!"
At Illya's excited cry, Rin and Shirou both stumbled and nearly fell.
Unlike the two of them, Shinji looked completely at ease. He turned around and walked toward Illya with a smile on his face.
"Wait, Shinji..."
Shirou tried to stop him, but as Shinji passed by him, he merely gave him a reassuring look and showed no intention of stopping.
Archer... be ready...
Rin watched Illya, who was staring expectantly at the free amusement park tickets in Shinji's hand, her expression grave. She barely dared to breathe. Her hand had long since slipped into her pocket, tightly gripping a gem as she guarded against a battle that could break out at any moment.
Beside her, Saber held tightly to the sword wrapped in Invisible Air, its blade visually imperceptible, ready for battle.
Illya accepted the tickets, her face filled with happiness and excitement.
"Thank you, Makiri big brother! I've never been to a place like that before! I've only ever seen amusement parks in books and magazines! I've really wanted to go at least once!"
"Hahaha... Is that so? Then make the most of this opportunity. My family's amusement park brings together the best attractions from amusement parks all over the world! It's amazing!"
"That newly opened amusement park belongs to your family too?" Shirou asked, twitching at the corner of his mouth.
"Spring Sakura... Spring Sakura... I see."
Illya murmured softly, then showed a hint of understanding. An almost imperceptible loneliness flashed through her eyes. "I'm so jealous of Sakura, having such a wonderful big brother."
"No, no, I'm hardly a qualified big brother myself. Hahaha..."
Shinji scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, while secretly remaining on guard. Who knew whether this little girl might suddenly say something about not being able to stand seeing others happy,
