Incidentally, Irisviel also brought Ilya and some homunculus maids over. If all goes well, they will stay in Fuyuki for a long time after the incident is over.
Chapter 142 Three Little Girls and the Reckless and Impulsive
During this time, Illya also became good friends with Rin Tohsaka and Sakura, and they played together almost every day.
Because Ilya also started school, attending the same school as Rin and Sakura, and given the relatively close relationship between their families, they looked after each other at school.
Yes, it's mainly Rin and Sakura, the two younger sisters, who are taking care of Ilya, their naive older sister.
Of course, the three little ones often play together on weekends, like right now.
At the Tohsaka family home, the three little ones were running around happily.
"A ghost is coming to grab people! Everyone run!"
"Wow! What are you doing here?!"
"Awoo~! Which one is the good child?"
Mordred, who had become the leader of the children, spread his arms wide, pouncing like a tiger, and sneered at the three little ones who were running away in panic.
After the three little ones had run quite far, he chased after them again, popping out from the corner to scare them. He was having a great time.
As the four figures hurried past, the group of women—Aoi, Irisviel, Lion King, and Nero—who were chatting and drinking tea nearby, chuckled.
“It’s really lively.”
"Yes, seeing the children so full of energy is really healing."
"By the way, Miss Sora didn't come to have tea with us today either."
"Yes, she went to Miss Orange to ask for magic lessons again. She's so eager to learn."
"Who isn't? Tokiomi went to see Mr. Kenneth, and Ma Enjun stays at home every day doing research. Sometimes I really think, do you magicians never get tired?"
The group chatted casually about everyday matters, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
On the other side, Mordred was following the three little ones with great interest when suddenly, the three little ones disappeared around a corner.
"Huh? What about people?"
Even Mordred's ancestral intuition seemed to fail him at this moment, leaving him completely bewildered.
"Forget it, let's keep looking. Anyway, this house is only so big."
Thinking this, Mordred continued walking forward, unaware that behind her, a door was ajar, and three eyes were watching her from above.
"Yosh, we got away with it!" The little girl Rin, who had just sneaked in, excitedly waved her fist when she saw the 'pursuers' were gone.
"Mordred, you're so silly, it's so funny." Lia covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Isn't this a bit unfair? It seems like the rules don't allow people to enter the room, this is against the rules," he said, sounding somewhat guilty.
"Hehe, we're just hiding for a bit. As long as we don't say anything and we're not discovered, it's not considered a foul."
Loli Rin, however, showed no remorse for her actions, and nonchalantly said with one hand on her hip.
In her view, this was just a small game, and given the vast disparity in strength between them, it wouldn't be a big deal for them to use some tricks.
Just as she was feeling quite smug, a question suddenly came from beside her: "What if we get caught?"
"Uh, well... wait! Where is it!"
Loli Rin was immediately embarrassed; she really hadn't thought of that, and was speechless for a moment.
Then it suddenly dawned on me that those weren't my sister's and Ilya's voices, and I quickly turned around to look. The other two little ones did the same.
"Maononi-chan!" x2
"Uh! Hmm."
This person was none other than Marne, the only one who had been alone in the Tohsaka family before.
Loli Sakura and Ilya were overjoyed to see Ma En and quickly approached him.
It's just that Marx and Engels have been so hard to see lately, staying in their study all the time, and sometimes they don't even come to eat.
Ilya hugged Marn's leg tightly, looked up at him with her big, bright eyes, and asked in a childish voice, "Why is Oni-chan here?"
She had a good impression of Marx and Engels; he had left a deep impression on her when he led his team into Einzbernburg.
Afterwards, Irisviel took her away from that gloomy castle and brought her to the wonderful world outside. Ilya felt even more that Marne was really handsome at the time, like a hero who came to save her, the little princess.
Therefore, she could even be said to like Marne, but unfortunately, she rarely saw Marne after that incident.
Although she often came to the Tohsaka family home after school, Maren was busy researching the Holy Grail War techniques every day and basically stayed in his study, so she didn't want to disturb him, which made her feel a little disappointed at one point.
She came to the gathering with her mother today, partly hoping to try her luck and see if she could meet Marx and Engels.
Unexpectedly, she actually ran into her. How lucky she was! Ilya was overjoyed.
"Hehe, the research has yielded results, so I'm here to do some experiments."
Ma En smiled and gently patted the two little ones' heads, then added, "This is my magic workshop. Some things here are quite dangerous for you. Let's go out first."
"Yeah." X2
The two little ones nodded obediently and then followed Ma En into the corridor outside.
Loli Rin followed along, her face filled with sorrow, head bowed, awaiting judgment.
Sure enough, as soon as she came out, she heard Mar and Eng start lecturing her.
"Rin, let's not talk about the game violation. Let's talk about how you took Sakura and Ilya and broke into the Magic Workshop without permission."
Cheating in games is no big deal; after all, kids are kids, and they wouldn't be kids if they didn't cheat.
However, Rin Tohsaka's mistake was that she trespassed into the Magic Workshop.
It's important to know that the magic workshop is the most private and important place for magicians, so it's not surprising that it contains any magic or curses to ward off intruders.
Although Marne's workshop didn't contain those things, he wasn't a traditional magician and didn't place much importance on his workshop.
But no matter what, it was still a workshop, and there were quite a few dangerous things inside.
Knowing full well that it was a workshop and potentially dangerous, he not only recklessly barged in but also brought his two older sisters with him.
Rin Tohsaka's actions can no longer be dismissed as mere recklessness.
Let’s be serious.
"You don't care about your own life and safety, let alone the safety of those around you."
As expected of you, Lin Mangmang truly lives up to his name; his impetuous nature has been evident since childhood.
"Waaah~ I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
Rin Tohsaka then realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly admitted her mistake, lowering her head, biting her lower lip, with an expression that said, "I'm wronged, but I won't say anything."
"Good that you understand. Remember this next time and don't make the same mistake again."
Marne didn't make things difficult for her any further, and simply nodded and let it go.
"Huh?" Rin Tohsaka was taken aback, staring blankly at Maren: "Are you going to tell Mom and the others?"
She had assumed that Ma En would tell her mother about it, just like the last time she secretly ran back to Fuyuki.
Chapter 143 Irisviel's Feelings for Marne
Ma En shrugged: "What right do parents who let you play around while they themselves go off to slack off have to lecture you? So let's let it go this time."
He was speechless at Aoi and Irisviel. How could they trust Mordred, that brat, to take care of the child? Weren't they afraid she'd spoil him?
Therefore, Ma En did not pursue Rin Tohsaka's recklessness. After all, the kind of thing that involves making mistakes is hereditary and cannot be cured by him lecturing her.
Rin Tohsaka nodded as if she understood, but didn't dwell on the question.
"Alright, you guys go have fun. Just be careful in the future. I'll get back to work now."
"Oh, Oni-chan's going to be busy again."
When Ilya saw that Ma En was trying to send them away, she immediately became unhappy.
We just met, and haven't even had a chance to chat yet.
Ma En chuckled wryly and ruffled the hair of the clingy little girl: "Sorry, Ilya, it'll be fine in a few days. Then I'll play with you all properly."
"Alright then." Hearing this, Liya had no choice but to let go of Ma En's leg, and then suddenly looked up and reached out her hand.
"It's a promise then, pinky swear."
"Okay, okay, pinky promise." En smiled and held out her hand.
Two hands, one big and one small, with their little fingers hooked together, shook each other.
"A man who cuts his fist ten thousand times will be a liar who swallows a thousand needles."
Hearing Elizabeth 380's soft, childlike voice uttering terrifying words, Ma En couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Who taught her this? Is this version of the pinky promise not going to scare children?
However, considering Ilya's background, she may have seen even the most terrifying things firsthand, so there's no need to worry too much about how this small piece of knowledge might affect her mental health.
Then Ma En looked at Sakura Tohsaka, who was staring at him expectantly.
"Sakura, I'll play with you when I have time. In the meantime, I'll leave Rin, this clumsy older sister, to you."
He patted the little guy's head, which instantly made him feel great, and the little guy even rubbed against Ma En's hand like a kitten.
"Okay, I got it (Wagada)."
After dealing with the three little ones, Ma En returned to the workshop and began the experiment he had prepared earlier.
...one day later...
"As expected, it won't work. Ordinary souls cannot replace the souls of heroic spirits. Then we have no choice but to use that method."
Marx and Engels were not surprised by the failure of the experiment.
After all, this is just a verification process; it would be best if it succeeded, which would save us a lot of trouble.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't work; he has already prepared another plan.
Then, Maren invited Irisviel, who was visiting the Tohsaka family that day.
