Illya and Kuro were both stunned when they suddenly heard Izumi's question.
Then Illya looked at him with a helpless expression.
"Onii-chan, what are you even thinking?"
"She's at her own home, of course."
"Don't forget, Miyu has an Onii too!"
Only then did Izumi realize.
He had actually forgotten about that.
The great Hero of Justice, Emiya Shirou, was still in this world. Naturally, Miyu was living with him.
Thinking about this, another question suddenly came to his mind.
He asked curiously,
"Then… is Miyu's father around?"
The moment he asked, Kuro immediately complained.
"How could she have a father?"
"We don't have one, and Miyu doesn't either."
"She only needs her Onii. She doesn't have a father."
"I heard he passed away a long time ago."
…
So that meant Kiritsugu was completely gone?
Izumi's expression turned strange.
That was a bit too tragic, wasn't it? Rin's father had been revived, but Emiya Kiritsugu had not.
Emmm…
In fact, this was indirectly Izumi's fault.
Previously, when he used the Second Magic and the Third Magic to forcibly interfere with parallel worlds, Kiritsugu in Miyu's world had already died.
So after the fusion, that result remained unchanged.
As for the Kiritsugu in other worlds, their fates had already been altered at the root.
Naturally, there was no possibility of revival.
Of course, Izumi himself didn't know any of this.
After understanding the situation, he didn't think too much about it and stayed at Illya's house for the time being.
The entire Type-Moon world had undergone massive changes. There were many things he needed to investigate.
That afternoon, Kid Gilgamesh and the so-called Elegant Crane Luvia also arrived at Illya's home.
The moment Luvia saw Izumi again, she walked straight up to him.
"So we finally meet again."
"I thought you would never return to this world."
She knew Izumi came from another world.
She had assumed they would never meet again.
Hearing this, Izumi smiled.
"Well, I came to take a look. And to take care of a few things."
"By the way, did the convergence of worldlines affect you in any way?"
Luvia snorted proudly.
"No!"
"I'm still myself. In fact, my family has grown stronger."
"Even though the worldlines converged and mystery is no longer hidden…"
"The status of the Edelfelt family remains as powerful as ever."
"It hasn't affected me at all."
This was what satisfied her most.
No matter how the world changed, she was still herself.
Even though she had gained strange memories, she treated them as nothing more than dreams.
After hearing this, Izumi fell into thought.
Worldline convergence meant integrating all parallel versions of a person.
One version became dominant, while gaining memories and abilities from the others.
Just like Rin, who had obtained the power of her other selves.
Thinking of this, Izumi said to Luvia,
"In that case, I have something I'd like you to help with."
"Try to find traces of the Assassin order."
"I want to meet that old man."
"Since Heroic Spirits have appeared in this world, he should have manifested too."
Luvia was shocked.
"You want me to find them?"
"Are you serious?"
"I'll get killed!"
Honestly, wasn't this asking her to commit suicide?
The Hassan order wasn't something that could be easily located.
Even if she found them, she might get assassinated.
They could even target her family.
After all, the Hassans were not to be taken lightly.
Izumi waved his hand.
"No, no. I just want you to make contact."
"I want to meet the First Hassan—Yama no Rōjin."
"I have a promising disciple I'd like to introduce."
"I just don't know if he'll be interested."
As he spoke, Izumi looked toward Megumi Katō.
Only then did Luvia finally notice her.
Wait… there was a girl sitting there this whole time?
That was terrifying.
Even Kid Gilgamesh looked surprised.
To be honest, neither of them had noticed her presence when they entered.
If Izumi hadn't looked her way, they might never have realized.
"EX-rank Presence Concealment?"
"Interesting."
Kid Gilgamesh's eyes flashed with curiosity.
He could clearly see the unusual nature of Megumi.
At that level, unless someone pointed it out, you simply wouldn't notice her.
Now that she had grown stronger, it was even harder.
If she wished, even Izumi might fail to notice her immediately.
In the DxD world, anyone below SSS-rank would never detect her.
Hearing this, Izumi nodded.
"That's right. It's her."
"I think that old man would be very interested."
"With such talent, it would be a waste not to become a Hassan."
He couldn't help sighing.
Even though Megumi wanted to become a mage and had learned many spells, her true talent lay in assassination.
If she gained the First Hassan's approval, Izumi was confident he could have the old man grant part of his Saint Graph to her.
After all, Megumi was still human.
The First Hassan was a Heroic Spirit.
This was the fastest way to raise her strength.
After thinking for a moment, Luvia nodded.
"In that case, I'll try to find them."
"But don't expect too much."
"Even if they've descended, locating them will still be difficult."
"After all, a group of Assassins avoiding detection is very easy."
Even though she agreed, success wasn't guaranteed.
Izumi didn't mind.
"That's fine."
"If you find any clues, just leak information about Megumi."
"EX-rank Presence Concealment. Let's see if that old man is interested."
"After all, even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, his Presence Concealment is only A-rank."
"An ability like this appears only a handful of times in history."
