Snowflakes dance in the air~
The north wind blows~
The world is a vast expanse of white~~~
A beautiful woman stands proudly in the snow~~
Just for Kaito to smile~~~
Amidst the falling snowflakes, Irisviel waves at Kaito.
"Kaito, you're here~"
"Mm, I'm here."
The suit he was wearing changed to Zhongli's brown suit.
Kaito stood in the snow, looking at Irisviel who also stood in the snow.
She seemed to merge with the snow, dancing gracefully with the wind and snowflakes.
Her red eyes were like vivid red winter plums, and Kaito, like a tree trunk in the snow, lifted Irisviel who had rushed into his arms.
Looking at Irisviel's captivating charm, he appropriately revealed a smile.
"Alright, why are you so excited just because I came?"
Kaito continued to gently lift Irisviel, only to see her suddenly smile, then reveal a mischievous look, take off her gloves, and press both hands against Kaito's face.
"I just suddenly felt like doing this."
"Hehe, you're quite playful. Alright, my face is warm enough, you don't need to press it."
"Hehehe~ I just wanted to feel your temperature~"
"Is that so?"
Kaito put her down. In front of his absolute height, Irisviel seemed like a young girl.
Her hands, which were originally on his face, shifted to clasp around his neck, and then she buried her head in his chest.
"It's very cold here. Quickly come inside with me. My daughter has been clamoring to see you too~"
"Did you tell Illya about me?"
"Hehe, yes~ I even said you would be my husband, hehehe!"
Kaito looked at Irisviel with surprise, trying to see from her expression whether she was joking or serious, but obviously, Irisviel's smile was too deceptive.
It could be true or false.
Helpless, Kaito could only nod and follow her into the Einzbern Castle.
"Ta-da~ This is my home! How is it, super big and super luxurious, right?"
"Indeed."
A medieval castle built on a mountain; can you imagine how much manpower and resources that would cost?
But the Einzbern Family is not only rich; they also have Magecraft.
With two maids holding battle axes opening the large doors, Kaito walked in and immediately felt the warm and comfortable temperature inside.
It was completely different from the snowy weather outside, like two different worlds.
But Kaito wasn't afraid of the cold anyway, no matter the season.
Not to mention his strong physical constitution, the clothes he wore had the function of keeping cool in summer and warm in winter.
"Mom, is Uncle Kaito here?"
"Hehe, he's here~ Look, isn't he handsome?"
"Wow~~~! He really is handsome!"
Illya, 7 years old, pattered into the hall wearing a simple white dress. Seeing Kaito, her eyes sparkled.
Just as her mother had told her~
"Hello, Uncle Kaito~! My name is Illyasviel von Einzbern. You can call me Illya!"
"Hello, Illya~ Nice to meet you. Here, have this cotton candy."
Kaito happily greeted her, then pulled out the world's most delicious cotton candy from the golden ripples and handed it to her.
Perhaps she had eaten many delicious candies and cakes, but she probably hadn't had cotton candy, so he chose this.
Seeing the cotton candy, Illya was very curious; it looked like the cotton from a pillow, but since it had the word 'candy' in it, it must be candy, right?
She walked up to Kaito, obediently reached out her little hand to take the cotton candy, then stuck out her little tongue and carefully licked it...
"!!!"
"So delicious!!!"
"Mom! This cotton candy is so delicious! You should try it too~!"
Irisviel was also curious, so she licked it as well, and the result was the same as Illya's; she was instantly captivated by the cotton candy.
The title of 'world's most delicious' was as expected no false advertising.
Seeing this scene, Kaito was very happy. Under the maids' invitation, he sat down on the sofa in the living room. Irisviel thoughtfully brought out tea leaves and brewed a cup of black tea.
As for China's unique tea leaves, there was no way; she couldn't get them in a short time.
"It's fine, I'm not picky."
As someone from Guang District, loving tea is unavoidable, but he wasn't pathologically attached to tea, always having it in hand, nor did he have a specialized taste.
Any tea is fine.
After drinking the hot black tea, Kaito turned his gaze to Illya.
Next year, due to her physical defects, Illya's body will stop growing.
But through his own magic circuits, Kaito could sense that her entire body was also covered in magic circuits.
To put it simply, in Fuyuki City, if magi fought, she would be invincible.
Thanks to that, she was able to summon the irregular hero, Heracles.
Generally, it's very difficult to summon him, but she could rely on herself, and without the blessing of Fuyuki City's leylines.
The worse part was that Heracles wasn't constructed from the Holy Grail's magical power. To keep such a great hero in the present world, he had to rely on the girl's magical power and command spells.
In other words, whenever Berserker fights, he is constantly draining Illya's magical power, and even her life!
...
Also because of Acht's crazy obsession for victory, Illya, like Irisviel, is now a homunculus girl of the Holy Grail.
But Illya is the alchemical crystallization born from the homunculus Irisviel's womb, both a homunculus and a human.
To some extent, Illya is stronger than Irisviel.
Unfortunately, from the moment she appeared in her mother's womb, her body had already been subjected to countless magical treatments.
Her physical structure has been completely replaced by components even less human than her mother's.
From the moment she was born, her purpose had been limited. Her flesh can be said to be the crystallization of magic circuits, especially her heart as the core.
As for not growing up, it's also because her body lacks normal human genes.
Illya is both the perfect crystallization and a defective human.
"Uncle Kaito, is there something on my face?"
The current Illya is not the later Illya who detest Kiritsugu and became dark; she is still an innocent little girl, so her speech is sweet and adorable.
"No, I just think you're very cute, so I looked a few more times."
"Ehehe~ Uncle Kaito is very handsome too! Mom has been talking about you all these past two days."
Illya smiled shyly, casually sold out her mother, and then obediently continued savoring the cotton candy.
Seeing her cute appearance, Kaito couldn't help but think of a phrase.
[White hair and rosy cheeks]
Generally, this describes hair as white as crane feathers and a face as rosy as a child's.
But now it seems, what the ancestors conveyed wasn't this meaning.
It means white-haired loli!
Thinking about how Chinese people have this engraved in their DNA love for white hair...
Heh, this is all the Fetish system passed down by the ancestors!!
