Haruka Kasugano directly injected his essence into Irisviel.
[Ding! Because Irisviel is a homunculus, her body structure can be modified…]
…
At the very instant Haruka Kasugano injected his essence into Irisviel—
Inside the inner space of the Greater Grail—
"All the Evils of This World," Angra Mainyu, after receiving the souls of multiple Heroic Spirits through Irisviel, had obtained her personality data and gradually began transforming into her appearance.
Thus, Black Iris was born.
Not long after her formation, a stream of essence suddenly poured into the Greater Grail's space.
Because Irisviel, as the Lesser Grail, was connected to the Greater Grail, the moment the system pried open the Grail's mechanism, that connection was activated!
And so, by sheer coincidence, Black Iris had just been born when she inexplicably became pregnant.
"Ah~! What is going on… Why has some other man's essence been injected into my body?!" Black Iris shouted angrily as she felt the abnormality within herself.
"No… I've only just gained my own will. Why do I have to go through something like this?"
"All the Evils of This World" merged with the Grail and gradually formed its own consciousness.
After obtaining Irisviel's personality, she truly became a "person."
She was the will of the Grail, and also the embodiment of all the world's evils.
"Damn it… Why is there someone even more evil than me… I was just born, still a child, and I'm already pregnant?!" Black Iris ground her teeth in fury.
"Ahhh! This is insane! I'm so angry!"
Helpless, she had no way to resist it and could only endure.
…
[Ding! After system calculation, the Holy Grail elements within Irisviel will be gathered into her womb and expelled through childbirth!]
Whoa, this is intense…
Just as Haruka Kasugano was shocked—
Irisviel's belly suddenly swelled.
"Ah… it hurts… Why am I suddenly pregnant?" Irisviel was completely stunned.
Could it be…
That he and I have created the crystallization of love?
No… that can't be…
When she conceived Illya with Kiritsugu, it required extremely complicated artificial insemination to successfully create the half-homunculus Illya. She had carried her for a long time before giving birth.
So why…
Why did she become pregnant so easily with him?
I'm a homunculus… I shouldn't be able to conceive naturally with a human…
Could it be…
Is this destiny between us?
Ah…
Why couldn't I have met him earlier…
Why did Emiya Kiritsugu delay me for nearly ten years?
"When I married you, you were young; when you grew up, I was already married…"
Irisviel sweetly stroked her swollen belly, feeling this love.
Suddenly, she screamed.
"It's coming, it's coming, Haru-kun… I'm giving birth!"
Sweating in pain, Irisviel stretched out her slender arms, wanting to embrace Haruka Kasugano.
He immediately hugged her.
"Ahhhhh—!"
After a burst of intense pain, Irisviel finally gave birth.
She delivered a golden, glowing sphere of energy.
"Huh… Did I just give birth to Nezha?" Irisviel asked blankly.
"No, that's just the Holy Grail," Haruka Kasugano laughed.
He grabbed the "born" Holy Grail in his hand; it still radiated warmth and her fragrance.
He couldn't help but lick it.
"Hey! Idiot, don't do that, that's so embarrassing!" Irisviel cried awkwardly.
She snatched the Lesser Grail back and held it protectively in her arms.
This was her and Haru-kun's child…
Then she sat up easily, tightly guarding the glowing sphere so he wouldn't do anything weird to it.
"Madam, you're… all better!" Haruka Kasugano smiled.
"Hm?" Irisviel suddenly realized that her body, which had been collapsing and in pain, unable to move, had completely recovered.
Even the sensation in her fingertips had returned.
Doesn't that mean… I can travel the world now?
"So… you didn't lie to me… I thought you were just comforting me…" Irisviel lowered her head shyly.
"You're amazing…"
[Ding! Irisviel's infidelity level +20!]
[Ding! Irisviel's infidelity level +20!]
[Reward: Host's Endurance upgraded to A+!]
[Reward: New Skill "Presence Detection A+"! The highest level of presence detection—can sense auras through the earth at long distances!]
Hehehe~
As expected of an A-rank noble lady.
Even without the mission-completion reward, just from the increase in infidelity level, you can tell how high-tier the reward is.
With "Presence Detection A+," I can perfectly track enemies.
Even without foresight of the plot, I can still know where Artoria is.
So Haruka Kasugano carried Irisviel back to his rented apartment.
As for Sola, there was no need to tell her yet. Her infidelity level wasn't high enough—what if she couldn't accept it?
Better wait until her affection increases.
Since it was the middle of the night and Sakura was already asleep, Haruka Kasugano placed Irisviel in his master bedroom.
"Madam, this will be your room from now on," he smiled.
"…You're still calling me madam?" Irisviel said shyly.
"Hahaha! Irisviel—or just call you Iris is fine," he laughed.
"Up to you…" she replied, embarrassed.
They embraced and slept until noon the next day.
After getting up, Haruka Kasugano brought Irisviel out to greet Sakura.
"Sakura, this is big sister Irisviel," he introduced.
"What are you saying… I should be called aunt…" Irisviel said shyly.
"You're not that old! You're big sister!" Haruka Kasugano insisted.
"So embarrassing…" Irisviel covered her face, practically steaming.
"Hello, big sister!" Sakura greeted.
"Hello, little one…" Irisviel waved, then softly asked Haruka Kasugano, "Is she your daughter?"
"Of course not! She's the adopted daughter of the Matou family. They bullied her every day, so I brought her here!" Haruka Kasugano said.
"You know what Berserker's Master looks like, right?"
"That's what the Matou family wants to turn her into!"
"What?!" Irisviel was shocked.
She hurried over, hugged Sakura, and comforted her.
"Don't be afraid. From now on, Auntie… I mean, big sister is here. There's nothing to fear!"
The two quickly bonded. Irisviel held chubby Sakura while watching TV together on the sofa.
While playing with Sakura, Irisviel suddenly thought of Illya.
Illya should be a few years older than Sakura…
As she stroked Sakura's head, memories of her warmth with Illya resurfaced.
She looked back at Haruka Kasugano, busy cooking in the kitchen, and smiled happily.
Now that she had escaped the Einzbern fate and gained a new life, she should embrace this new life properly.
Forget the past. Build a new family with him.
After all, he was the one who gave her this rebirth.
[Ding! Irisviel's infidelity level +10!]
[Reward: New Skill "Mind's Eye"! By observing an opponent's movements, you can predict their next action!]
Hm?
While cooking noodles, Haruka Kasugano heard the system prompt.
What's going on?
I'm just cooking noodles and her infidelity level increased?
Does she like my noodles that much?
He looked outside and saw Irisviel gently stroking Sakura with a tender expression.
Ah…
Seeing Sakura must have reminded her of Illya.
Very possible.
After finishing the noodles, Haruka Kasugano called them to eat.
While eating, he said, "Iris, don't worry. I guarantee that within ten years, I'll rescue Illya too!"
Leaving aside whether he'd be strong enough in ten years to attack Einzbern's Winter Castle—
As long as Kirei Kotomine doesn't die, the Holy Grail War will definitely be triggered early in ten years.
Illya will inevitably participate, and he can seize her then.
Anyway, within ten years, for sure!
Hearing this, the chopsticks slipped from Irisviel's hand and fell onto the table.
Tears filled her eyes. She covered her mouth and sobbed.
"Really?" she cried.
