Chapter 279

It was far more powerful than she had imagined.

With her petite frame, it was indeed difficult for her to fully control this power.

That voice, just like hers, echoed in my mind once again—

[You're so clumsy! Let me teach you how to use Red Archer's power!]

Ilya instinctively agreed.

Then.

She found herself becoming an observer, as another version of herself emerged from within her, controlling this power.

"Watch closely, Ilya, this is how Red Archer uses it!"

Another mysterious figure, with exceptional skill in manipulating Red Archer's power, Projection the [Gan Jiang Mo Xie] Noble Phantasm.

"I see!"

Ilya paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "So, how come there's another me inside me?"

"Please remember my name, Chloe von Einzbern!" came the reply.

"Um, it even has a name?"

Ilya was even more shocked.

In other words, it wasn't just a misperception; there really was another version of herself lurking within her?

At the same time, Wei Gong's expression became even more strange.

After the other party completed the summoning, he inexplicably had a strange feeling that he had completely merged with the other party.

Fortunately, Ilya was the power that summoned him; if it were any other powerful Heroic Spirit, they would definitely have turned him into a puppet without hesitation.

"I wonder when Kuro will come out..."

Wei Gong recalled his experience in another Timeline.

The Einzbern family created the Wishing Machine during the Holy Grail War ten years ago.

It also sealed away the immense magical power, memories, and knowledge that the Lesser Holy Grail had provided for Ilya during her infancy.

After ten years of development, it has taken on a tangible personality.

That is, Chloe von Einzbern, whom Ilya calls "Kuro".

Once formed, Ilya will split in two.

"Tsk, Brother B just got a daughter, and now he has two! Double the joy for a daughter-lover!"

Wei Gong couldn't help but smile.

Thankfully, it wasn't two sons.

Otherwise, Brother B would have to worry about how to earn money for two houses and two sources of income.

These were the last warm and peaceful moments of daily life before the great disaster struck.

When the disaster truly strikes, Ilya and Kuro, who possess some of his power, will also be able to help protect humanity.

Let him lie down and relax a bit.

You can make a killing, but I'll never lose!

The next morning arrived.

Wei Gong asked, feigning calmness, "What do you two want to eat for lunch?"

"Pickled cabbage fish!" Luo Ya answered without hesitation.

"Anything is fine."

Ilya kept her head down, not daring to look at the other person.

Yesterday's experience still leaves her feeling endless shame.

Fortunately, it seems that the other party's memory was physically erased by Ruby Chubby, and there was nothing unusual about them.

"Okay, you two stay here, I'm going to the market to buy a fish."

Wei Gong put on a thick coat and went out to the market to buy groceries.

Result.

As soon as I stepped out of my house, I sensed a familiar presence following me.

This made Wei Gong's lips twitch. "Goodness, Brother B, you really spoil Ilya. You don't trust me at all?"

Yes, the one secretly following them was Hercules Heracles!

Even without turning your head to look.

The other person's extremely tall stature made him stand out from the crowd, extremely conspicuous.

Is this what they call covert surveillance?

Hercules, you should just give up on your so-called disguise and secrecy; you really can't fool anyone!

Wei Gong sighed inwardly, pretending not to have noticed.

Go wherever you want, and let the other person follow you.

Cú Chulainn greeted him, "Hey, Wei Gong, here to buy groceries again? I say, you're a high school student, why do you like to act like an old lady?"

"There's nothing I can do. Poor kids have to learn to be independent early. What can I do?" Wei Gong spread his hands, full of helplessness.

Previously, on the condition of taking care of the unruly children, he completely broke the contract with Alaya and regained his freedom.

In addition, he had fought for countless years and was already tired of fame and fortune.

Simplicity is the true essence of life.

"Here, I'll give you a 30% discount, but don't tell anyone!" Cú Chulainn quickly gutted the fish for him.

"It's alright, thanks."

Wei Gong left carrying the fish.

The Big Dog finally got it.

Previously, every time he went over to freeload a meal, he was practically kicking him out.

After he left.

The burly man who had been hiding in the corner stepped out and frowned slightly as he looked at Cú Chulainn in front of him.

"Do you want to buy fish? They're all fresh!"

Cú Chulainn looked at the other person in surprise.

This guy... doesn't he look a lot Hercules Heracles?

Damn, it's not just similar, it's clearly the same person!

Cú Chulainn was lost in thought.

The two were genuine enemies in the Holy Grail War of Unlimited Blade Works.

At first, it was a fierce, life-or-death struggle.

Oh, by the way, he also fought a battle with Emiya.

Later, they cooperated to fight against the most powerful King of Heroes, but unfortunately, they still didn't survive to the end.

That bastard Kirei Kotomine used Command Spell to force him to commit suicide.

But it doesn't matter, he eventually replaced that guy anyway, so it was a win-win situation!

Heracles, too, was killed by the Chūnibyō Flash, dying a rather gruesome death.

Then there's no problem.

We're in the same boat!

Heracles frowned and looked the other man up and down. "You are... Cú Chulainn???"

In the grand Celtic mythology, there was a demigod Great Hero like him, the [Child of Light].

How could someone considered by countless people to be a hero alongside him and King Arthur be wearing this outfit and standing by the roadside selling fish?

In the past two days, Heracles has naturally caught up on all the exposed videos of [Alaya], and clearly knows what happened to Nameless and himself in various Timeline.

In Unlimited Blade Works, the two are considered enemies.

But that's alright, as long as he keeps beating the other person up, there won't be any problems.

The biggest problem is that bastard King of Heroes actually tried to dig out Ilya's heart.

To treat him with contempt as a beast was something Heracles absolutely could not tolerate.

Compared to Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes whose hatred level is off the charts, Cú Chulainn seems quite kind.

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Cú Chulainn denied it three times without hesitation, then pointed to the freezer next to him, "Do you want some fish at a discount?"

"Oh, I see."

Heracles nodded.

No wonder Wuming came here to buy groceries; it turns out he knew this guy.

Based on Cú Chulainn's previous reaction, it seems he didn't recognize the Nameless One at all, mistaking him for an ordinary teenager.

Tsk, that guy is just as cunning as he knew. No wonder he was considered a brother!

Heracles thought for a moment and then asked, "What kind of work can I do to earn money?"

During the Age of Gods, he was the world-renowned son of Zeus, Great Hero sung by countless people, and he was welcomed wherever he went.

However,

After countless battles, completing the Twelve Labors, and joining forces with the Nameless to defeat Cronus.

This left Heracles feeling quite exhausted.

This is probably why Mumei was willing to be an ordinary high school student in Fuyuki City, giving up all fame and rights, and quietly enjoying an ordinary daily life.

It's likely that this [Child of Light] in front of me also gave up all the status and wealth that a Heroic Spirit should have, choosing instead to be an ordinary Fishmonger Qiang.

Now that Heracles has descended to earth as Heroic Spirit, all he wants is to protect Ilya.

To be a good father is to atone for the sins of the past.

Since we've chosen the ordinary, everyday life...

Then he can't do things like fighting or hunting; he needs to find a suitable job.

"Um, how about we go lay bricks?" Cú Chulainn suggested, looking at the other man's strong physique.

This guy in front of me is a real Hercules; if he were to go and move bricks, he would definitely speed up the infrastructure construction.

"Moving bricks? Sure, that's possible."

Heracles, on the other hand, felt that it suited him very well.

No need to use your brain, no need for deception, just pure physical labor is truly enjoyable.

So, let's get ready to work hard and earn money to support Ilya.

Just then...

A kind-hearted citizen of Fuyuki City who was passing by stopped in front of the stall and watched the two with great interest.

"Oh, the Child of Light Fishmonger Qiang, while Hercules wants to move bricks?"

Gilgamesh smiled broadly. "Want to work for me? I guarantee you'll earn even more."

This is truly something I've never seen before.

Two Great Hero, yet they both did ordinary jobs.

"Gilgamesh!"

Heracles stared at his opponent with icy eyes, making no attempt to conceal his murderous intent.
