Chapter 413

"I'm back..."

Lin Ye's house,

Miyu pulled the dejected Illya inside. Lin Ye said today was New Year's, so everyone should spend New Year's together; everyone, of course, had no objections.

As for whether today was actually New Year's, that wasn't important. If Lin Ye said it was, it was. The Type-Moon world itself is a multiverse; with so many parallel worlds, there must be one world where it's New Year's. Isn't it normal that the parallel world Lin Ye came from is having New Year's?

Of course, the girls certainly couldn't figure it out; Lin Ye's world wasn't in the Type-Moon world at all.

Watching Miyu and Illya return, Lin Ye, sitting on the sofa, asked directly: "What's wrong, Illya? You look dejected."

"Brother Lin Ye! *Sob, sob! * You almost wouldn't have seen me today!" Illya ran to Lin Ye and said aggrievedly.

"I experienced at least fifty assassination attempts today! If it weren't for my quick reaction and Sapphire's reminder, I would have lost my life! By the way! I also met a little girl who looked exactly like me! She can use Archer's abilities and is very powerful!"

"That's right, Brother Lin Ye, do you know what happened?"

Hearing Miyu's question, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, who came with them, also focused their attention on Lin Ye. After all, the feeling Lin Ye gave them was that he knew everything and could do anything—an invincible posture.

"Yeah, I know. I even gave her New Year's money today. By the way, Illya, Miyu, these are red envelopes for you."

"Thank you, Brother Lin Ye! No! That's not the point! The point is why did you give her a red envelope! She wants to kill me!"

Illya took the red envelope and looked at Lin Ye unhappily. "And, since you saw her, why didn't you catch her! Brother Lin Ye, with your strength, you definitely could!"

"How could I? She looks exactly like you; how could I have the heart to do something to you?"

"Ah?" Hearing Lin Ye's words, Illya lowered her head with a flushed little face. Sure enough, Brother Lin Ye was the best to her!

"Then Lin Ye, what's going on with that Kuroe?" Rin Tohsaka also asked impatiently.

"Kuroe, huh? Alright, since you're curious, I'll tell you." Lin Ye nodded, then slowly began to speak: "Back in the Holy Grail War... anyway, Kuroe came out, so she now wants to kill Illya and replace her to become the new Illya. It's just that this kind of thing is fundamentally impossible because Illya and Kuroe are originally one. Kuroe is just a personality that obtained Archer's Saint Graph to manifest. If Illya dies, Kuroe will also disappear."

Kuroe's existence itself is a miracle, but it's better now. Since the Throne of Heroes has acknowledged her existence, even if she disappears, she can be summoned as a Servant in the future; it can be considered another kind of rebirth.

And hearing Lin Ye say this, Illya finally understood.

"If that's the case, Kuroe... she's also very pitiful..."

Illya was still kind; hearing Kuroe's situation, she felt a sense of ashamed unease in her heart. If this were someone else, they might have just taken a knife and slaughtered Kuroe directly.

"Whether you're miserable or not has nothing to do with me; just stay honestly inside my body!"

But precisely because of this, in the original timeline, Kuroe was finally willing to die generously to protect Illya. When Darius tried to destroy the world, Kuroe rushed up and was crushed by Darius, causing her Saint Graph to disappear. And Kuroe also shot an Origin Bullet into Darius's body, destroying his magic circuits and eliminating him.

Watching this scene, Lin Ye also shouted to the window outside:

"So Kuroe, have you vented enough?"
