"It doesn't matter."

Irisviel watched Chloe and walked toward her.

Then, she held the half-dead Shirou under one arm, and reached for the brown-skinned girl with the other.

"I've already heard about it from Shirou. I understand your sorrow, because I am your mother."

So... come here, Illya. Mommy will hold you gently, come here...

Irisviel greeted Chloe with a gentle and loving smile, which only angered the girl.

"Mom, danger! No!" Illya shouted.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Chloe drew her twin swords and charged forward.

Shirou was being held under his mother's arm, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Kuro! Danger! Run!"

Illya & Miyu: "?"

That's right...

The danger wasn't Irisviel, but Kuro.

"... Huh?"

Irisviel extended two fingers and caught Chloe's swung blade with all her might.

She narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

"It seems they need to be disciplined properly. Waving knives and arguing is unheard of!"

I can't move...? I clearly possess the power of Heroic Spirit?

Chloe felt a chill run down her spine.

Then, Silver Thread crawled and wrapped around Irisviel's arms, turning them into silver arms.

"Wait, wait a minute, Eiri! Kuro already knows he was wrong!"

Shirou knew something was wrong and pleaded for Chloe, but it was too late.

"Imaginary Noble Phantasm /Simulated Deployment..." A fleeting glimpse, the Silver Arm (Dead End Agateram)!

Irisviel slammed a heavy punch into Chloe, who was unable to move.

"Miya!"

Chloe flew out like a cannonball.

"... ah?"

Illya Miyu both made blank, stunned sounds.

The Kuro, which flew out, crashed into countless large trees, and lay there seeing stars.

What... what exactly is going on?

Mom... Mom actually unleashed her Noble Phantasm!

The only one who knows the truth Shirou, who has recently been conducting a secret investigation.

It's hard to believe, but...

In the history of this new world, Irisviel swept through the Fourth Holy Grail War in a single night.

Volume 10: 474 Is this how you repay your mother's kindness in raising you?

During the days since regaining his memories, Shirou secretly conducted a series of investigations into this "new world" and finally gained a preliminary understanding of it.

First, Human History up to the modern era is no different from Shirou's understanding.

Gilgamesh was a fool whose elixir was stolen by a snake, and Artoria's kingdom was destroyed by Morgan's treachery.

This completely severed the last vestige of possibility for Lostbelt.

Shirou then investigated further and discovered the key to the world's anomaly.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt somewhat complicated when he discovered that the changes in the world Origin from the Fourth Holy Grail War.

It's you again? It's always you? It really is you!

What exactly makes the Fourth Holy Grail War in the "New World" so unusual?

That was the victory for Irisviel von Einzbern.

She ended the war before the first dawn of the official ceremony.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad.

During his investigation, Shirou discovered an even more astonishing fact.

Irisviel visited Japan eighteen years ago.

She made a series of arrangements eight years before the start of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

This included exorcising the Old Worm of the Matou Family, collecting evidence of collusion Tohsaka and Father Kirei, and spending huge sums of money overseas to acquire a large number of Holy Relic, especially those related to Mesopotamian Mythology.

As well as--

Irisviel bought the Fuyuki City Children's Welfare Home and took away Shirou Amamiya, who was just a baby at the time.

Everyone in the forest was stunned.

Seeing Chloe defeated by Irisviel in one blow, Illya let out a surprised sound.

"Mom, Mom, Mom... What was that just now!?"

"That's right, in situations like this, we should treat everyone equally."

With a smile, Irisviel walked toward the disoriented Illya.

"Huh? No, wait a minute!?"

Sensing the murderous intent, Illya retreated continuously...

The mother's iron fist slammed mercilessly onto the girl's head, and everything went black before her eyes.

"Hmm..."

"Ah, you're awake, Illya, that's wonderful."

"... Miyu?"

Illya rubbed her sleepy eyes and found herself standing in front of her friend, who was dressed in a maid outfit.

She was a little confused, so she looked around and found herself in a super spacious and luxurious room.

This is... the Edelfelt Residence?

Besides Illya Miyu, Shirou and Kuro were also in the room.

Illya slept on a grand sofa, and Kuro slept on the sofa just like her.

Uh, what happened?

Illya remembers going to stop Miyu and Kuro from fighting...

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Oh, you're finally awake, Illya- chan."

"Mom, Mom!? What are you doing in Japan... Ah!"

Upon seeing her mother enter the room, Illya instantly recalled the whole story.

Oh, right! While I was trying to persuade Kuro, my mom and brother showed up, and then my mom used some strange power to knock us all unconscious!

Illya rubbed the large bump on the back of her head; this was the first time she had ever experienced violence from her mother.

Mom... is really angry.

Irisviel began, "I was quite free before Illya woke up, so I heard about what happened in the forest from Miyu and the cane."

"I'm sorry, I've confessed to everything."

Irisviel naturally played with Ruby in both hands, then smiled.

Illya paused for a moment, then looked at Miyu beside her.

"That means, this person..."

"You know about Magecraft, huh?"

Miyu and Sapphire said.

"What!?"

Illya's eyes widened.

So, was that previous move a Magecraft...?

"If only it were just a simple Magecraft trick."

Shirou sighed helplessly, while Illya tilted her head in confusion.

Irisviel used a gold needle technique that involved using hair as a medium.

The Einzbern alchemy could create familiars from metal wires or even one's own hair, but Irisviel's was clearly far beyond the realm of modern Magecraft.

The technique of using alchemy to unleash Noble Phantasm is somewhat similar to Shirou's Projection Magic, a skill that even the Divine Era Magic could not replicate.

Irisviel used this power to defeat the other six Master-Servant groups, right?

Chloe woke up too.

Unlike Illya, who was confused about the situation, she clearly showed hostility, glaring at Irisviel.

Shirou said, "Eiri... Mom, could you please explain the situation to Illya?"

Illya asked seriously, "Mom, tell me... I... no, what are we?"

I asked her that question before, but she just brushed it off. This time, however, she's determined to give me a proper answer.

Now that things have come to this, if we don't know, there's nothing we can do...

"Yes. Well then, let me begin. But the story is a bit long, isn't it?"

Irisviel began with this sentence and then started writing something on the whiteboard.

She seemed somewhat happy, remaining completely unmoved even during serious topics, which gave Illya a strange sense of security.

What I heard next from my mother was so grand and absurd that it was beyond belief.

Illya's main family, the Edelfelt, is a very ancient lineage of Magecraft, and the Magecraft rituals held by this family, based on their philosophy, are called the Holy Grail War.

In order to reveal the Holy Grail, the omnipotent Wish Machine, seven Magecraft and seven Heroic Spirit waged a life-or-death war.

These are not irrational, Corrupted Heroic Spirit, but true heroes who once fought on this land as familiars.

There are three families that preside over the Holy Grail War, and the Einzbern is one of them.

"Einzbern is in charge of preparing the vessel for the Holy Grail."

"The vessel of the Holy Grail?"

"That's right. The Holy Grail obtained in the Holy Grail War was made using the body of a special human as a vessel..."

"What!?"

Everyone except Shirou and Chloe was speechless at Irisviel's words.

Only the two of them listened quietly.

The special human who becomes the vessel for the Holy Grail is called the "Lesser Holy Grail".
