Shirou talked with Lilia and decided to send her and her daughter Aisha to the Holy Kingdom of Milis.
After all, the Fittoa region no longer exists. Even if they return to the Asura Kingdom, they would have nowhere to go.
Although Lilia seems to have a family, she hasn't been back for many years, so their relationship must have become distant.
It's better to have Paul help take care of them.
Aisha must also want to be with her father.
However, after Shirou told Lilia and Aisha his idea, Lilia had no reaction, but Aisha was very unhappy.
She even argued with her mother, crying and saying she wanted to stay with Shirou.
"No, Aisha, you have to be good and not cause trouble for Master Shirou."
Lilia would never allow her daughter to do something so impactful.
On such a long journey, Shirou and the others couldn't bring a young girl as a burden. Aisha had to go to Paul.
Aisha was not convinced and stubbornly said, "I'm not a burden. As a maid, I'm already qualified and can help big brother!"
"This…"
Shirou didn't know what to say about Aisha and Lilia's argument.
Seeing this, Eris stepped forward and came to Aisha.
When Aisha and Eris first met, Eris asked about Aisha's identity. After learning that Aisha was Shirou's sister, she seemed to treat Aisha as a sister too, and they established a good relationship. They often chatted.
Now, seeing Aisha's complaints, Eris said earnestly, "Children need to grow up well first. Only when you become strong enough can you help."
"Sister Eris?"
Aisha was stunned that Eris would speak to her so seriously.
Eris said with a complicated expression, "Don't think it's natural for others to help you. When you are being protected, you must also think about the people who are protecting you. It is very hard for them."
This journey has given Eris unprecedented growth.
She has completely shed her arrogant young lady temper and become as direct and easy-going as ordinary people. She even gets angry less and less often, becoming more serious and understanding more and more.
Seeing Eris speaking to her so earnestly, Aisha finally stopped complaining and nodded silently.
"..."
Seeing that Aisha still seemed a little sad, Eris couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, when you grow up, Shirou will definitely bring you along. After all, he always cares about his sister."
"That sounds a little strange…"
Shirou looked suspicious.
Eris and Aisha looked at each other and smiled. The two red-haired girls had clearly established a very friendly relationship silently.
"Next time we meet, tell me more about big brother, Sister Eris."
Aisha waved goodbye as they parted.
"Of course, I'll tell you even more amazing things!"
Eris said proudly.
Before leaving, Lilia found Shirou and said, "Master Shirou, what do you think of Aisha?"
"What?"
Shirou was confused that Lilia would suddenly approach him.
Lilia said with a serious face, "I just want to ask Master Shirou, does Aisha currently meet your preferences?"
"My preferences don't matter, do they?"
"No, it's best to consider them in advance, as there is a targeted training plan."
"???"
Completely unsure what Lilia meant, Shirou was puzzled for a long time and could only say, "She's alright, Aisha is a cute child."
Although her personality is a bit too active and not very like Miyu, Shirou has long gotten rid of that past state of seeing everyone as a substitute for Miyu.
He is now willing to look at each of his sisters from a more objective perspective.
"Cute?"
Lilia seemed to care a lot about Shirou's evaluation. After gathering information, she said seriously, "Does Master Shirou like big breasts or small breasts? Aisha is my daughter, so I think her breasts will grow bigger when she grows up, but if I deliberately control her diet, I can somewhat…"
"Lilia, what are you talking about?"
Shirou completely couldn't hold back anymore.
Even if he was confused, he couldn't fail to understand the other person's hidden meaning.
Was she going to train Aisha to be a girl who matched his preferences?
But why?
No matter what, he wouldn't be interested in his own sister, right?
While Shirou was confused, Lilia frankly revealed her plan, "Because Master Shirou and Aisha are not related by blood, right? Not being related by blood means there's no problem with marriage. Of course, I don't expect you to marry Aisha properly, but it's enough if she can be a concubine."
"Lilia, stop talking!"
Shirou immediately interrupted.
He had completely realized Lilia's idea, but he still had many questions, so he immediately asked, "Can I ask why you're doing this, Lilia?"
"Because Master Shirou, you saved Aisha and me. If you hadn't awakened Master Paul with force that time, Aisha and I would most likely have died that winter. To repay your kindness, I have always told Aisha from a young age that she must serve you in the future."
"This… wait, is that so?"
Shirou finally realized why Aisha's attitude was so strange.
Compared to ordinary sisters, Aisha always felt more distant from him.
So, the source of everything was Lilia's problem.
"I have taught my daughter everything I know. Although she is still very young now, in about four years, she will grow into a beauty that men like."
Lilia said quietly.
Shirou quickly said, "No, Aisha is my sister…"
"Not being related by blood isn't a problem, is it? And in the royal palace of the Asura Kingdom, even if there is a blood relationship, it often isn't a big deal."
"..."
Shirou had heard that Lilia had worked in the royal palace of the Asura Kingdom.
But he didn't expect the royal palace to be so chaotic.
Could relationships even happen between close relatives?
Thinking back, that Princess Ariel wasn't very normal back then.
While Shirou hesitated, Lilia had already started speaking on her own, "Master Shirou, Aisha is indeed not mature yet, but in a few more years, I hope to arrange for her to come to your side to serve you. You can do anything you want with her. This is what both my daughter and I want."
"No, I wouldn't do that to my sister."
"If that is Master Shirou's wish, then of course it is fine."
Lilia had made it clear that she would let Shirou do whatever he wanted and was completely giving up control.
Seeing this, Shirou knew that there was no need to convince her of anything.
He just had to treat Aisha normally from now on.
Thinking that way, their relationship would gradually become normal over time, right… probably.
Shirou then continued to discuss the situation of the other members of the Greyrat family with Lilia, and as expected, he did not obtain any clues from Lilia.
Lilia had simply seen a flash of white light and was transported here with Aisha.
But in any case, the only separated family members now were Rudeus and Zenith.
He had taken a big step closer to finding all of his family.
It was only at this time that Shirou recalled the existence of people outside his family, such as the villagers of Buena, Sylphy and Laws…
But Paul hadn't found any trace of them for so many years, and he thought it would be difficult for him to find them either.
Most importantly, Shirou couldn't find those two people's whereabouts even with his far-seeing eyes, which undoubtedly indicated a possibility, that Sylphy and Laws had most likely been killed.
Thinking of this, Shirou couldn't help but feel a little down, but he still forced himself to plan the route to the Holy Kingdom of Milis for Lilia, and even went to the adventurers' guild to find a professional adventurer team to escort them.
"Well then, it's time to say goodbye, Lilia."
"Yes."
"I've given you travel expenses. If it's not enough, go to the adventurers' guild and mention my and Paul's names, and you should be able to get help."
"Okay."
"If you encounter danger on the road, don't panic too much. Try your best to contact me and Paul. If you encounter trouble in the Dragon King Kingdom, you can find a man named Randolph Marianne. He should be in the Dragon King Kingdom's knights."
Shirou roughly knew that Randolph had joined the Royal Dragon Knights. When they parted, the latter had given him a token, saying that they could meet at any time.
Shirou still didn't know that Randolph was the God of Death, but he could sense that Randolph was not simple. After all, he was a ruthless person who could cook dragon meat and should be quite reliable.
"Master Shirou."
Just as Shirou was thinking this and continuing to make arrangements for Lilia, Lilia suddenly stood up and walked towards him.
Before Shirou could react, Lilia pulled him into her arms.
Shirou's whole body was in close contact with Lilia's full body, scaring him so much that his brain almost crashed.
"Li… Lilia?"
"Master Shirou is becoming more and more reliable. If I had met Master Shirou instead of Paul back then, I might have fallen for you right away."
Lilia said while stroking Shirou's head.
Shirou lowered his head embarrassedly, not knowing how to respond.
"Ahhh!! Mom actually stole big brother! No, I won't accept it!"
Seeing this, Aisha rushed over to separate the two of them and insisted that Shirou hug her.
Shirou helplessly picked up Aisha and found that the little girl was very skilled at clinging to him, looking like she didn't want to be separated from him at all.
Looking at Lilia's satisfied smile in front of him, Shirou completely realized how serious Aisha's education crisis was.
It was already like this now. If he left her to be raised by Lilia, it was unimaginable what kind of state Aisha would be in the future.
That would probably be a very troublesome sister… probably.
