Chapter 781

To stop Kuro, she kicked her foot against the corner of the wall with all her might.

What kind of enlightenment is needed to do such a thing?

Miyu silently hugged Illya tightly.

"Well, anyway, Kuro is there. We should be able to catch it easily now, right?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the dumbfounded Shirou.

"That seems to be the case..."

"I have a pretty good idea what happened..."

Luvia grabbed Chloe, who had also fainted from the pain, and took her back to the basement.

When she regained consciousness, Illya found herself lying on Shirou's lap.

"Elder brother."

"Illya, are you alright?"

"Waaah..."

Illya silently looked away.

After Kuro's antics, she realized her true feelings.

That's the only thing I owe to that child... but I absolutely won't thank him!

Illya sighed.

"Ugh, that guy is really exhausting me... Just how far is he trying to invade my daily life...?"

"Well, well, I guess Kuro won't always act so recklessly, right..."

"Brother's taking Kuro's side again! Whose side are you really on?"

"I'm sorry, Illya."

"As compensation, pat my head~"

Illya shamelessly made a request.

"Okay, okay, you can touch me whenever you want."

Shirou placed his hand on his sister's head.

The next day, Illya met up with Miyu at her doorstep as usual, and the two went to school together.

Shirou didn't go with them, making excuses that he had club morning exercises and had left earlier.

However, he actually planned to go to the school library to check the Human History in this world and find the specific points where the world's anomalies occurred.

Illya Miyu were walking to school when they started talking about Chloe.

How is Kuro?

"She should just stay in the basement. But she doesn't seem to want to talk anymore."

What happened?

"Actually, Miss Luvia asked a few more questions later."

Then, Kuro said he didn't want to say anything more.

"I only cooperated with you then because of my brother; it's completely over now."

"What a strange child."

Illya muttered to herself, then remembered what Ruby had said yesterday.

She told Miyu about Ruby's reasoning.

Miyu blinked. "... So, Kuro's real target is Mr. Shirou?"

Illya nodded seriously. "Although it's not clear yet, I think it's very likely!"

"... Hey."

Kuro's true purpose.

Upon hearing this, Miyu could no longer remain calm.

The two elementary school students, carrying their schoolbags, walked towards the classroom while releasing their dark emotions into the surroundings.

Volume 10: 469 The Three Little Ones: My brother is going on a date with a girl... No way!

"Amamiya, you... don't go too far."

After school, a male classmate suddenly patted Shirou on the shoulder and looked displeased.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Shirou followed his gaze and saw Illya Miyu standing at the classroom door.

"Moriyama, Tohsaka, and Luvia are one thing... but even elementary school students are involved..."

The male students cast hostile glances at them.

Shirou ignored the stares and walked over to the two of them.

"Mr. Shirou, are you free after school?" Miyu asked.

"No, there are no club activities today."

"Then, I hope you can come with me somewhere."

Shirou nodded. "That's fine..."

And so, Illya Miyu left the school.

I was wondering where they were going to take me, but it turned out to be the Edelfelt Residence.

Luvia didn't go to the club activity; instead, she took a car home first.

She looked surprised when faced with the sudden and aggressive arrival of Illya.

"Oh dear, what's wrong, Illyasviel? Shirou would be very happy to hear that..."

Illya patted the table in front of Luvia.

"What do you mean, 'what's wrong with that!?' Why didn't you lock Kuro up properly!?"

It's all your fault! My school life has become a complete mess! Please, you need to strengthen security!

"Ah?"

"Illya, calm down..."

Miyu tried to calm Illya down, while Luvia looked completely bewildered.

Shirou, standing to the side, asked, "What happened? I haven't heard the details yet. Could you explain?"

On the way here, Shirou wanted to ask several times, but Illya's imposing manner prevented him from asking anything.

However, from what he just said, Shirou could probably guess what had happened.

Kuro ran away again, and then did something good.

"Actually..."

Miyu, instead of Illya who was too excited to speak properly, began to recount what had happened at school that day.

Kuro appeared in Illya's class, making a mess of Illya's interpersonal relationships.

Shirou frowned because Miyu's wording was very vague.

"What exactly did you do?"

After Shirou asked that question, Illya became shy.

"Well, that... uh... my friends are coming and going one after another..."

By Kuro... that... Ughh...

Illya's cheeks burned and her body trembled, then she roared as if she couldn't hold back her anger.

"Brother, please don't ask any more questions..."

"Uh, um... sorry, Illya."

"Waaaaah~~~"

Shirou didn't press the matter further, but instead turned to Luvia.

The young lady with the gold drill sighed and said, "The physical and True Magic locks on the underground warehouse are flawless; not even an ant could get in."

"Then why!?"

"I want to know too. No matter how tightly they're locked up, that child can easily break through."

What methods did she use... it's like she was completely outmaneuvered by a fox."

It seems that containing Kuro is also a headache for Luvia.

That level of imprisonment was meaningless to her; she could escape at any time as long as no one was watching her.

"In the end, there was no need to imprison me at all, was there?"

"!?"

The sudden sound made everyone turn to look to the side.

Before anyone knew it, Kuro was already sitting in a chair, elegantly sipping black tea, with cookies beside him.

Illya school life had been turned upside down just hours before, puffed out her cheeks and glared at Kuro as soon as she saw Kuro, completely on high alert.

Miyu also raised her vigilance to the maximum.

On the other hand, Luvia seemed to have encountered this situation several times since yesterday, and had given up, holding her forehead.

Enjoying the reactions of the crowd, Kuro said in a calm voice:

"In the end, why did you specifically lock me up?"

I am already unable to harm Illya because of the curse, and I have no intention of harming anyone.

So there's no need to lock me up, is there?"

That's absolutely true.

To date, Kuro has never harmed anyone except Illya, nor has he ever attempted to harm anyone.

Therefore, Shirou opposes corporal punishment of Kuro, and now, under the curse placed by Tohsaka, Illya's safety is also guaranteed.

"I just want to live a normal life, to go to school normally as a ten-year-old girl."

Is it okay to fulfill this small wish? I swear I won't do anything to hurt anyone.

"... Swear an oath?" Luvia raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, I swear in the name of my beloved brother."

It sounds strange of me to say this, but I will definitely keep my vow... unless there are special circumstances."

When he uttered his vow, Kuro abandoned his usual frivolousness and his expression became very serious.

"..."

Illya looked doubtful.

Shirou, however, felt that Chloe wasn't lying this time; she genuinely longed for school life.

If the goal is simply to cause trouble and make Illya angry, Shirou's actions would be more effective than going to her class.

Shirou thought for a moment and said, "If we grant Kuro's wish, she shouldn't cause any more trouble, right?"

"... Luvia, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Understood, Shirou! Leave everything to me!"

"Huh!?"
