The world she had seen outside had changed her.
More importantly, Shirou had changed Irisviel.
Could this... really be considered growth?
Irisviel did not know.
From a homunculus's perspective, this was a shameful fall... She had become despicable, just like a human.
But Irisviel felt that this was not a bad thing.
She even wanted everyone in the Einzbern Family to experience this stirring feeling in her heart—,
