Irisviel raised her slender palm and placed it on Fu Yuan's.
Through the contact of their palms, Fu Yuan felt the temperature of Irisviel's hand.
It was cold, icy, like snowflakes falling from the sky.
But Irisviel didn't feel the same way.
She felt warm and comfortable, as if it were the warmth from the clothes covering her.
No, it was warmer than the warmth from those clothes.
The warm sensation transmitted from his palm made Irisviel blink her slightly dazed crimson eyes. She had a thought that she didn't want to let go once she held on.
Because this warm feeling was a comfort she had never experienced before, and she felt a slight sense of dependence and longing.
Fu Yuan helped Irisviel to her feet. He didn't know if it was due to excessive blood loss, but she was weak all over. After Fu Yuan helped her up, she leaned directly into his embrace.
"..." Fu Yuan lowered his head and looked at the girl who could only stand by leaning on him. He asked subtly, "You're so weak, you probably can't walk. Why don't I carry you?"
"Huh??" Irisviel, now in Fu Yuan's embrace, looked at him with a bewildered expression. This bewildered look gave Fu Yuan a strong sense of dissonance.
Right now, Fu Yuan felt like he wasn't facing a woman of similar age to him, but a... silly, clumsy seven or eight-year-old girl.
In fact, Fu Yuan's feeling was quite accurate.
Although Irisviel's body was curvaceous and her pretty face was beautiful and delicate, like an adult woman, she was actually only three months old.
Irisviel was an artificial life form created by the Einzbern family three months prior. She had only received the existence of the Einzbern family's Magic.
This was why Fu Yuan felt such a strong sense of dissonance from Irisviel.
Therefore, the current Irisviel didn't understand shame or the distinction between men and women. She just felt that Fu Yuan's embrace was warm and wanted to stay there.
This zero-year-old woman, although younger than Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura, her figure was not inferior to theirs...
With Irisviel pressed against Fu Yuan, even through a cape and a layer of clothing, Fu Yuan could sense her proud body curves.
Fortunately, when Fu Yuan entered the Bavarian Forest, he had trained his resistance to women under Scáthach. Otherwise, his face would probably be bright red right now.
However, Fu Yuan wasn't completely unaffected. He felt his face was a little hot.
Since Irisviel didn't respond to Fu Yuan's "Do you want me to carry you?" for a long time, he decided not to bother.
Fu Yuan directly bent down, reached under Irisviel's slender, fair legs, and picked her up in a princess carry.
Fu Yuan felt that Irisviel was very light, like holding a soft down blanket.
After being carried by Fu Yuan like this, Irisviel didn't fuss or cry, appearing to be at Fu Yuan's mercy.
Rather than being obedient and well-behaved, it was more like... she didn't know how to respond to Fu Yuan's sudden embrace.
After picking Irisviel up, he started walking back towards the tracked snow vehicle while asking, "You still remember the way back to the Einzbern castle, right? I'll take you back."
"I remember, but outsiders are forbidden from approaching the Einzbern, so I can't tell you," Irisviel said, shaking her head slightly.
As expected of a reclusive sorcery family, but that wouldn't stump Fu Yuan~
"I forgot to tell you, I'm actually an envoy dispatched by the Tohma Family. We're here to discuss the upcoming Holy Grail War with the Einzbern family." Fu Yuan said with a straight face, telling a blatant lie.
To smoothly enter the Einzbern castle, Fu Yuan lied after a long time.
But it was a well-intentioned lie.
After all, Irisviel was so weak now, she couldn't possibly return to the Einzbern castle by herself.
So, for Irisviel to be able to return to the Einzbern castle, Fu Yuan had no choice but to lie~
This is Apple. Because this world is not the Fourth Holy Grail War of Fate/Zero, but a Fourth Holy Grail War linked with FGO.
Therefore, Father Kiritsugu did not receive an invitation from the Einzbern~
Since he didn't receive an invitation, then~ Irisviel belongs to Apple [Confirmed].

Chapter 50: Scáthach, come help me!
"Tohsma... is it the Tohsma Family that established the Holy Grail War with our family?" Irisviel asked with a hint of confusion.
"That's right, that very family!"
Fu Yuan's Main Quest was to find the Einzbern castle and then find an excuse to live there. Therefore, he planned to impersonate someone sent by the Tohma Family.
As for whether the Einzberns would send someone to the Tohma Family to confirm this matter and discover Fu Yuan was lying... it wouldn't matter. By then, Fu Yuan would have already completed his Main Quest.
"If you are someone sent by the Tohma Family, and it's related to the Holy Grail War, I can take you into the Einzbern castle together," Irisviel said in her naive, simple way.
This was the unfortunate plight of a sheltered young lady; she easily believed whatever anyone told her.
Although deceiving a girl like Irisviel made Fu Yuan feel a twinge of guilt, it wasn't too severe because he had no ill intentions.
"Then let's introduce ourselves. My name is 'Fu Yuan,' you can just call me Fu Yuan."
