Chapter 305

Lin Ye poured himself a cup of black tea and silently began to enjoy life.

"Hello, are you the new neighbor? Please take care of me." Sella, who was cleaning the garden, nodded slightly at Lin Ye to greet him.

Since he was a new neighbor, and he had seen her, he still had to maintain basic politeness.

Looking at Sella on the side, Lin Ye was also stunned for a moment. Although Sella did not appear much in the Type-Moon World, Lin Ye recognized her at a glance.

So, he had actually moved in next door to Illya's house? Jeanne really knew how to pick a place; was this the power of Revelation A?

Lin Ye quickly reacted. Looking at Sella in front of him, he greeted her directly: "Hello, my name is Lin Ye, I'll be your neighbor from now on, please take care of me."

Sella nodded gently at Lin Ye, then packed up her things and walked into the room.

"Sella, thank you for your hard work."

Irisviel nodded at Sella, "I heard a new neighbor moved in next door."

"Yes, I just met him. The master next door seems to be named Lin Ye, and he looks like a very nice young man."

Sella said with a smile, then went to the kitchen to prepare a meal. However, upon hearing Sella's words, Irisviel was struck as if by lightning!

"Lin... Lin Ye!"

"That's right, Lin Ye. Irisviel, why are you..." Before Sella could finish her sentence, she saw Irisviel rush out directly. This left Sella completely confused; after all, Irisviel had never told them about Lin Ye. It could be said that this was Irisviel's biggest secret.

Irisviel went straight to the door of Lin Ye's house and gently pressed the doorbell.

At this moment, Irisviel's heart was in her throat.

Lin Ye... is it really Lin Ye? Or is it just a coincidence of having the same name?

He hadn't appeared for so long; perhaps there wasn't even a person named Lin Ye in this world?

But, what if? Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, she wanted to confirm it with her own eyes.

Ding-dong...

The doorbell rang, and shortly after, Irisviel heard clear footsteps.

Three steps... two steps...

The sound grew closer, and Irisviel felt her heartbeat growing stronger. Finally, the footsteps stopped, and the door in front of her finally opened.

Swish!

At this moment, Irisviel finally saw the face of the person who had come.

A handsome face, deep black eyes—she absolutely could not be mistaken. He... he was definitely Lin Ye! At this moment, Irisviel felt as if she had a thousand words to say, but all the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a single one.

Looking at Irisviel in front of him, Lin Ye revealed a faint smile and said, "Long time no see, Irisviel."

In the sky, geraniums fell from above, the beautiful scene appearing like a dream. However, Irisviel completely ignored this beautiful scene; in her eyes, there was only Lin Ye standing before her.

"Long time no see."

At this moment, the two figures finally moved closer, bit by bit. In the sky, the faint fragrance of geraniums permeated the air, and time seemed to freeze at this moment, until...

"Mom, why are you standing here?"

Illya, who had just walked out the door, looked at the scene in front of her curiously and asked.

"Ah? Ah!" Irisviel finally reacted. In a flash, her face turned bright red. She looked at her daughter, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.

At this moment, Lin Ye turned his gaze toward Illya.

Looking at the cute Illya, Lin Ye squatted down and looked at her, saying, "Illya, right? Long time no see."

"Long time no see? Do we know each other? Big brother?" Illya looked at Lin Ye in front of her curiously.

Looking at the bewildered Illya beside her, Irisviel finally reacted.

"Illya, you should call him Uncle."

Irisviel hurriedly asked Illya to change how she addressed him. How could she call Lin Ye "big brother"? Wouldn't that mess up the generations?

"Ah?" Illya was also confused. She curiously sized up Lin Ye in front of her. No matter how she looked at him, he was just a high school student, or at most a college student. How could he be an uncle?

Looking at the bewildered Illya, Lin Ye smiled and patted her little head before saying, "Calling me big brother is fine. I'm actually not much older than you."

"Ah? How is that possible? You clearly..." Irisviel looked at Lin Ye in front of her curiously. She had met Lin Ye 19 years ago when she was just created, and he had looked exactly like this back then. 19 years had passed; how could he only be a few years older than Illya?

"Is it strange?" Lin Ye looked at Irisviel in front of him. "If I remember correctly, Irisviel, you are only 19 years old this year, right? It seems you aren't much older than Illya either."

"How can that be the same?" Irisviel covered her head helplessly.

What kind of strange relationship was this?

"Illya, go home and do your homework first. I have something to discuss with your Lin Ye... brother."

"Okay..." Illya nodded blankly and then obediently returned home. As she left, she curiously looked back at Lin Ye and Irisviel; her little head was already filled with curiosity.

Seeing Illya leave, Lin Ye stepped aside to let Irisviel in. Lin Ye and Irisviel sat on the chairs in the garden. Irisviel just watched Lin Ye silently, waiting for him to tell her everything. Looking at Irisviel in front of him, Lin Ye took a deep breath and then said to her, "Do you... know about parallel worlds?"

"Hmm??" Irisviel was full of question marks. Of course she knew about parallel worlds; as a homunculus created to realize the Third Magic, she also had some understanding of the Second Magic. "Could it be that..."

"If I told you I could travel through time and space, would you believe me?"
