Chapter 307 Growing Up
"Dad, you're back! Are you alright?"
"Brother, are you alright?"
As soon as Shi Chen returned to the hotel, Ilya and Shi Ying ran over and hugged his legs.
He let go of Irisviel and the others, squatted down, and hugged the two little girls: "I'm back~ Daddy's amazing, I'm perfectly fine~"
"I knew Dad was awesome."
"My brother is the best!"
The two little girls had some understanding of the Holy Grail War, and although they completely believed in the timing, they couldn't help but worry.
Being completely trusted is one thing, being worried about is another. Shi Chen happily hugged the two of them and rubbed his face against their smooth skin.
Kids are so lucky; their skin is as smooth as pudding.
"hey-hey
The two little girls also liked Shichen like this, and smiled sweetly.
"Ilya, don't you care about your mother anymore?" Irisviel watched this scene with a smile, feigning jealousy.
"Of course I care, but with Daddy here, Mommy will definitely be fine," Ilya replied.
"So you're going to find all sorts of ways to praise Dad, huh?"
"Where is it...?"
Saber remained silent, quietly watching the intimacy between Shichen and Ilya. His gentle demeanor was so different from just moments before.
It's just like two people.
Why are you so cold to her?
Didn't Irisviel say he really liked her?
How come she didn't notice anything at all?
Rather, it's more like they're looking down on her because she's a girl.
"Where's Frilian?" Tokimatsu had no idea what Saber was thinking. He stood up with the two of them in his arms and asked.
"Frilian is in her room."
"Sister Frillian is probably reading comics."
The two took turns replying.
"She's not worried about me at all. I'll go teach her a lesson after I finish watching this."
"We want to join in too, we want to see!"
"Okay, together."
Shichen carried the two of them to Frilian's room.
Irisviel and Saber did not follow; the two sat down in the living room, doing nothing.
Seeing Saber looking lost in thought, Irisviel asked curiously, "Saber, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." Saber gently shook her head.
"Hehe~ You were thinking about how the time forced you to do that just now, weren't you?"
Saber pursed her lips, not denying it.
"I think Shichen is definitely doing this for your own good, so don't blame him," Irisviel said, speaking up for Shichen.
"I know... I should have been prepared for this a long time ago..."
"Then why did you pay it back?"
"I feel like Shichen really looks down on me..." Saber finally spoke her mind.
"Shichen looks down on you? How could that be?" Irisviel laughed.
"Then why is his attitude towards me different? I feel like he's deliberately targeting me?"
"Didn't I tell you? Shichen likes you a lot."
He knows who I am and should understand my personality, so why is he still pressuring me?
"I don't know about that, you can just ask him."
"He definitely won't tell me," Saber shook her head.
"Well, there's nothing I can do to help with that, but you have to believe that Shichen will never look down on you," Irisviel said earnestly.
"Really?"
"Have you forgotten how he just avenged you? And how angry he was when you were injured?"
Yes, Saber remembered Shichen's attitude back then. He was indeed really angry, and he grabbed her hand without any sense of propriety, hitting her head like a child.
She seemed to have never been treated like this before.
"So, trust the timing. It must have its purpose. You two are Master and Servant, partners."
"How could you have any doubts?" Irisviel held Saber's hand and gently comforted her.
Reflecting on her time with Shichen, she realized he didn't seem like that kind of person at all; in fact, she found him quite comfortable to be around. Saber nodded, "I understand."
By the time Lancer's Master was dealt with, it was already evening. After Shichen had tormented Frilian for a while, it was time for dinner.
We made quite a commotion during the day, and it's very likely that we've been targeted by others, so Shichen didn't take everyone out to eat.
It's safe in the hotel for now; there are still many ordinary people here.
After all, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret.
Given Irisviel's appearance, even if the hotel guests were all without makeup, they would still be disturbed. So Shichen set up a small barrier so they could eat in peace.
The hotel's dinner was indeed excellent, with steak and seafood all-you-can-eat options.
The accommodation cost quite a bit.
Over at the castle, they ate Chinese dishes prepared by the hour, things Saber had never tried before.
So Saber got a little tipsy from eating.
She was eating slowly and quietly, taking small bites, but before she knew it, there were several empty plates in front of her.
"Saber is such a big eater!" Illya exclaimed, staring at the stack of empty plates.
"Hmm..." Saber felt a little embarrassed after Illya said that, and slowed down a bit.
"Being able to eat is a blessing." Shichen rubbed Illya's head, speaking up for Saber.
"But Saber is a girl, isn't it a bit much for her to eat so much?"
"Who said that? Men and women are equal, so eat whatever you want. Anyway, Saber won't gain weight, so I don't mind."
"That's true."
"You should eat more too; this is a time when you're growing."
"I know, I want to grow up quickly! I want to grow up to be as big as Daddy likes." Ilya patted her chest.
"Ahem!"
Shi Chen was completely taken aback by Ilya's words, even doubting whether he had misheard: "Ilya... what did you say?"
"I want to grow up and get stronger, and I'll try my best."
"Ilya!" Irisviel snapped.
"Who told you that?" Shi Chen asked, a smirk playing on his lips.
"No, it's just that Dad stares at Mom every time she takes a bath."
"Huh?" Irisviel looked at Shichen shyly, not even noticing.
:"The timing is a bit awkward."
He didn't expect that Ilya would see his little actions, but what could he do? It was a man's instinct. She was taking a bath with him, so how could he not see anything?
It's so appealing!
He's not a eunuch.
"Sakura can testify."
"...Sakura saw it too?" Shichen stiffly turned his neck to look at Shiying.
Shi Ying nodded shyly, "I, I will also try my best for my brother."
"I...
"You pervert, Shichen!" Frillie complained, still standing.
"Is your butt itchy again?" Shichen rolled his eyes at Frilian.
"Don't hit me anymore! I haven't recovered from the previous hit yet, it hurts so much!" Frillie quickly covered her buttocks.
"Then you'd better eat properly."
"Oh..." Frillian nodded obediently; she was still terrified after being beaten.
Not only did they hit her hard, but they did it in front of Ilya and Shiying, making her feel both pain and shame.
"Shichen, you've corrupted Ilya and the others!" Irisviel said reproachfully.
She wasn't angry at all; in fact, she was quite happy. She really was attracted to the time of day.
"You can't blame me for this, can you? You're just too charming." Shichen glanced at Saber and retorted.
Fortunately, Saber wasn't looking at him; her mind was only on the food in front of her.
"Um..." Irisviel blushed and was too embarrassed to speak.
"Dad, you're not allowed to flirt with Mom anymore."
"There's no flirting here... You two are not allowed to say anything more, hurry up and eat."
"—Does Daddy look forward to us growing up?" Ilya asked innocently.
Shi Ying also looked at him with her big, innocent eyes.
"Do you two... want to end up like Frilline?"
"Huh? No, no!"
"Then eat your food properly!"
"Oh...Sakura, Daddy must have tacitly agreed."
"Um."
After dinner, Shichen didn't take everyone out for a walk; instead, they watched TV together in the living room.
Saber wanted to go out and scout out the enemy's situation, since most Masters should already know something about her.
It's impossible for her fight with Lancer today to go unnoticed.
However, Shichen did not agree, refusing because she needed to rest after fighting for half a day. After all, with him there, there was no need to investigate the enemy situation.
There's not much good TV to watch, and hardly any cartoons are worth watching, but the news is all reporting the same things.
According to investigations, more than forty children have gone missing in Fuyuki City, but the police have yet to determine the exact number...
"Time, could this be...?" Irisviel immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Yes, it was indeed done by a Servant." Shichen nodded.
The seven Masters are not all legitimate magicians; some were simply chosen by the Holy Grail to fill the positions.
Shi Chen thought of that bloodthirsty Servant, a truly monstrous being, and that degenerate Master.
"Was it done by a Servant? At what time, by us?" Saber looked at him.
"Alright, let's go punish the wicked and eliminate evil."
"Okay!" Saber laughed.
