Forced Marriage

She looked at little Illya and said, "Little Illya, be good, okay? Big sister is leaving now."

Little Illya snorted.

"When I grow up, you'll have to call me 'big sister,' just you wait!"

Illya laughed happily. Little Illya's words were tantamount to acknowledging that she was now the older sister, which pleased her greatly.

Yuxian Kiritsugu family and disappeared in Fuyuki City, leaving this world and returning to Chaldea.

Chaldea remains unchanged, just as it always has.

The biggest change was that when they arrived, Da Vinci was already standing there to greet them.

"You're back!"

This warm greeting finally made Yuxian feel like she was back home.

He smiled and said to Da Vinci, "We're back!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Da Vinci-chan."

Mash went up to talk to Da Vinci. She had been on duty at Chaldea, which was indeed a very hard job.

Da Vinci smiled and shook his head. "It's not hard work, but I'm fed up with eating fast food every day."

She looked at Emiya and said, "If the head chef doesn't come back soon, I'm going on strike."

Upon hearing this, Emiya smiled and quickly said, "Then I'll cook a big meal tonight to reward our great genius."

"Not a genius, but a genius beauty!"

Da Vinci corrected Emiya, but the look on her face was full of anticipation, indicating that their meals had indeed been rather poor these days.

"Da Vinci-chan, your drool is about to spill out!" The children teased Da Vinci upon seeing this.

"Really? Really?"

Da Vinci wiped his mouth, then realized something was wrong. Seeing the children running away, he immediately chased after them.

"Don't let me catch you!"

Chaldea suddenly became incredibly lively.

"Chaldea is finally starting to slowly return to its former liveliness."

Mash was filled with emotion. She still remembered how desolate Chaldea was when it was just her and Yuxian.

"Things will get better. I will definitely find everyone."

Yuxian was also very satisfied; all his hard work running around these days had finally paid off.

He firmly believes that Chaldea will become increasingly lively in the future.

After a few days of rest, the journey to the next world was once again placed before Yuxian.

This time, he didn't need to ask; Da Vinci would make the plan for him.

This dashed Yuxian Xian's hopes of slacking off for a few more days.

"I've already asked around, and this time Scathach and Mash will accompany you again."

Da Vinci had already made thorough preparations and had consulted with others about their opinions.

"And of course, there are those little ones. They absolutely refuse to stay in Chaldea and insist on following along like shadows."

The children protested.

"We're not just tagalongs, we're the Master's personal bodyguard team, we're really useful, okay?"

"Yes, yes, you are very useful."

Da Vinci rolled her eyes. She knew exactly what these children were thinking; she just chose not to expose them.

Yuxian asked, "Shall we leave now?"

Now that the candidate has been chosen, Yuxian is no longer procrastinating and is ready to embark on his journey again.

"I have debugged the Spirit Transfer system, and this time it will definitely not go wrong again."

Da Vinci was very serious and responsible about his work.

"Let's go then."

Yuxian, along with the six children, Mash, and Scathach, arrived at the central control room.

What kind of world will it be this time? What kind of people will I meet?

He was somewhat expectant.

"The Spirit Transfer System is ready. Transfer will begin immediately. Master, please prepare."

Da Vinci's voice came through the radio.

"3...2...1, Spirit Transfer begins..."

The system's voice sounded.

"Spirit Transfer successful."

Yuxian's figure disappeared from Chaldea once again, embarking on an unknown journey.

Chapter 1, Section 314: Forced Marriage

The sun was high overhead, and it was a little hot; the glaring sunlight made it hard to open one's eyes.

Yuxian looked around. This was a field, with crops planted around it. The fields were lush and green, and it didn't look like it was harvest time yet.

In the distance, a small mountain village could be seen, with a few scattered old houses standing there.

There was no one in sight. On such a hot midday, it was certainly not the time to work in the fields. The villagers must be resting at home, trying to escape the heat.

Given this scene, Yuxian had no way of knowing where he was and could only hope to get some information from the small mountain village.

But before he could take a step, Scathach's voice rang in his ears.

"You will be safe in this world. I'm going back now."

Yuxian was taken aback. He turned around to ask what was wrong, but Scathach had already disappeared.

No danger?

Yuxian really wanted to complain: what if he tripped and fell while walking? Would that be considered dangerous?

Of course, he knew in his heart that the danger Scathach mentioned referred to the danger to his life.

After all, Scathach wasn't Yuxian's caretaker; there was no one who could threaten his life, so he naturally had a reason to leave.

As for whether there are other reasons, that remains to be seen.

"Let's go, let's ask for directions in the village ahead first."

Yuxian and Mash led the children forward.

Before we had walked more than a few steps, a sudden downpour began under the bright sunshine.

Sun showers are a common phenomenon, and I didn't think Yuxian of it.

He quickly said to everyone, "Let's run faster and get shelter from the rain in the village ahead."

Although the weather is so hot that even if you get wet, you'll dry off quickly and won't catch a cold.

But getting caught in the rain is always an uncomfortable experience.

They strode quickly toward the mountain village.

After rushing for a while, we finally arrived in the village and found a spacious place under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.

Mash took out several towels to wipe everyone down.

Yuxian patiently wiped each of the children clean, and only then did he dry himself off from the rain.

An old man was sitting under the eaves not far away.

After returning the towel to Mash, Yuxian walked over and politely asked, "Old man, we are travelers passing by and would like to ask you for directions."

The old man curiously looked at Yuxian and his group, noticing that they were all dressed in bright clothes and were clearly not from ordinary families.

He said with a smile, "You want to go to Kyoto, right?"

The old man pointed to a road to his right and said, "If you keep going along this road, you will reach Kyoto."

"Thank you!"

Yuxian expressed his gratitude to the old man, who finally knew the location of the place.

This place isn't far from Kyoto, so it must be somewhere in Japan, though I wonder what era it is now.

Looking at these dilapidated rooms and outdated facilities, it is clearly impossible for this to be a developed modern society.

Seeing that Yuxian was very polite, or perhaps because there were very few outsiders like them here, the old man reminded him again:

"If you're in a hurry, you should go early, as it's not safe to travel at night."

Yuxian thanked the old man again, but the old man was somewhat dismissive, as day and night made no difference to him.

He believed it was the old man's good intention, since traveling at night was indeed very dangerous in an era when transportation was underdeveloped.

He smiled and said, echoing the old man's words, "We'll set off as soon as the rain stops."

"I never expected it to rain on such a sunny day."

The old man coughed a few times, seemingly about to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"There's a story behind this rain."

"Oh?" Yuxian blinked, wanting to hear what the old man had to say. Every elder has knowledge that he could learn from.

"I wonder what kind of saying it is?" Yuxian asked.

The old man slowly began to tell his story.

"It's raining under the bright sun; legend has it that a fox is getting married off its daughter."

Fox's Wedding? Is this just a folk tale?

Yuxian thought to himself, but he did not interrupt the old man and continued to listen patiently to his story.

"Legend has it that Fox's Wedding, but they also hate being seen by people, so they will make it rain heavily on a sunny day to drive the passersby home."

"So when you encounter rain like this, you must find a place to take shelter as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the fox's marriage."

"Of course, those who get caught in this rain will be fine. This rain is a blessing. If you're lucky, you might even receive a gift from them."

Such a legend? This is the first time Yuxian has heard of it. Perhaps it is a local legend, after all, this place is very close to Kyoto.

The story of Tamamo no Mae took place in Kyoto.

The Fox's Wedding!

Just thinking about Tamamo no Mae - Yuxian made Yu Xian shiver. It was definitely not normal to shiver in this hot weather.

Could it really be her? Yuxian suddenly had a bad feeling.

Tamamo no Mae who will she marry?

Based on his understanding of Tamamo no Mae and the opinions of the Chaldea members regarding Tamamo no Mae, the answer is self-evident.

This isn't some Fox's Wedding; it's forced marriage!

A marriage proposal from Tamamo no Mae!

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Mash noticed that Yuxian's expression was a bit off, so she quickly came forward to ask him what was wrong.

"It's nothing, let's hurry up and go."

Just Shigure stopped, Yuxian bid farewell to the old man and hurriedly led everyone towards Kyoto.
