The atmosphere in the room was very strange.

Sister Liz had a faint smile on her lips, and occasionally she would reach out and press the remote control to skip the opening and ending of the animation.

Sitting aside, Emiya gradually calmed down, watching the cartoon and trying to think about how the storyboarding should be planned after personification.

On the sofa diagonally opposite, Ilia, who wanted to remain a lady in front of her brother, pretended to be calm, and kept comforting her heart, 'Don't panic, Ilia, even if the relationship is confirmed, there is still a chance!'

As for Meyou, I still keep my head down and wander around the world.

Time passed minute by minute.

The door was opened again, and the first person to step into the house was a tall adult woman wearing a white coat. She looked quite like the adult Ilya, with silver-white waist-length hair shining like snow and red eyes like rubies.

Eyes that make you unable to take them away after just one glance.

That's right, this beauty who looks like she is only in her twenties and has a noble temperament is actually the mother of the three Emiya brothers and sisters, the eldest daughter of the down-and-out aristocratic Einzbern family: Irisviel.

The movement at the door quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Emiya turned around and saw his mother, who was actually in her early forties, but still as beautiful as a fairy.

Following Irisviel in the door was a man wearing black plainclothes with a calm and determined face.

His name is Emiya Kiritsugu, he is a policeman, their father, and the most important spiritual pillar of the family.

"Oh, it's Shirou!"

As soon as Irisviel saw Emiya, she immediately ran over happily, hugged Emiya's head, and said softly: "Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight."

All mothers in the world are probably the same.

Obviously I gained some weight during this period, but according to my mother, I lost a lot of weight.

Emiya felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Mom, I..."

"It's rare for Shirou to come back, so let me prepare dinner today!"

Irisviel suddenly let go of Emiya and said excitedly.

Oh no!

Upon hearing this, everyone present quickly changed their expressions, even Emiya Kiritsugu, who was changing shoes at the door, changed his expression.

He knows his wife's craftsmanship best.

Horror beyond words!

"The lady and the master are back. Dinner has been prepared and you can eat at any time."

Sera, who was wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen at this time. Looking at this scene, she tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

This is an angel, it must be!

In the eyes of everyone, at this moment, Sera was clad in holy light and had wings of light on her back, as if she were an extremely holy angel who had descended into the world.

"Oh, what a pity."

Irisviel sighed and complained that she had missed an excellent opportunity to show off her cooking skills.

There is only a glass window between the Emiya family's dining table and the stove, but because the kitchen is very spacious, the seven people sitting there don't feel crowded at all.

Perhaps because he knew that Emiya was coming back today, a dazzling array of dishes that only appeared during the New Year period appeared on the table.

Served with tofu pan-fried until golden on both sides in a thick soup, bright red sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish with chopped pepper and scattered green onions, the aroma is overflowing...

In addition to the common main dishes such as chicken, duck and fish, you can also see snacks such as croquettes.

It was obvious how much effort Sierra put into this dinner.

Emiya guessed based on his own experience that, not counting the various preparations for the ingredients, the cooking time required for various dishes alone would probably take Sera an entire afternoon.

Thank you for your hard work, Sister Sierra.

Emiya thought silently in his heart.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Before the meal, the family went through all the necessary rituals.

This is the last respect foodies have for food. The rest of their lives will be spent in their stomachs first.

"Speaking of which, it's been so long. Shirou is now a senior, right?"

"Well, I'm graduating this summer."

At the dinner table, the family was chatting.

"That's it." Irisviel said suddenly: "The child from the Moriyama family next door got married a few days ago. I heard that the bride is already three months pregnant. His father was extremely happy at the wedding."

"Um?"

Emiya's hand holding the tofu with chopsticks was startled for a moment, and then he said helplessly: "Yuichi didn't even inform me about such a big event? At least we used to play together when we were kids, but now our relationship has become much weaker."

In fact, this is an inevitable thing. There will always be a few childhood friends who, as they grow up, gradually drift away from each other, disappear into the sea of ​​people, and have no contact with them anymore.

Wei Gong sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Shirou, are the Moriyama children a year or two younger than you? You see, they are all married now, why don't you even have a girlfriend?"

"Ahem!"

This sudden question made Emiya accidentally choke on the fragrant soup flowing out of the tofu. After he regained his composure, he hesitated:

"How can there be such a comparison between Yuichi and I? Mom, I'm still in school, and graduation is just around the corner. I have too many things to do, and I really don't have time to fall in love."

"Can't we fall in love when we are in school?" Irisviel put her face on her hands and retorted with a sad look on her face: "Look at your sisters, even though they are only in middle school, they have already had several boyfriends."

"puff!"

Illya blushed: "Mom! What are you talking about? I have never had any boyfriend!"

"Ah, isn't it?" Irisviel said blankly: "I remember a little boy came to the house a few days ago and wanted to play with you. At that time, I thought he was your current boyfriend."

"How can it be!"

Illya almost threw away her chopsticks in a hurry, "It's obviously just an ordinary friendship. Also, Illya has never had a boyfriend."

"That's really a pity."

Illya suddenly jumped up and successfully brought the topic to her and Miyu.

Emiya, who was freed from the center of the whirlpool, breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his sister with gratitude.

But, sister, just ask for blessings.

With a very family-like conversation, the meal at the Emiya family came to an end.

After the meal, Sera and Irisviel were clearing away the dishes, Liz was watching another cartoon, and the two younger sisters were whispering on the other side of the sofa.

Wei Gong was sitting under the eaves outside, looking back at this scene with a smile.

Outside the room, the sky.

A bright moon has risen, and its faint moonlight shines in the small courtyard.

Emiya admired this beautiful scenery alone.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from behind.

A tall figure sat next to Emiya, with a cigarette in his mouth.

Emiya asked: "Dad, why did you come out? Didn't you say you were going to help in the kitchen?"

Emiya Kiritsugu replied calmly: "He was kicked out."

"Haha, it's true."

"..."

After the cigarette was burned out, Emiya Kiritsugu did not smoke another cigarette. Instead, he went into the house and took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator. He walked outside and handed one of the cans to Emiya, and drank by himself.

"What are your plans after graduation?"

"A decision has been made."

"That's it."

Under the moonlight, the father and son were speechless.

Emiya opened the beer can and took a sip. He hesitated for a moment, but then said slowly: "Dad, I have decided to become a supervisor. Forgive me that I may not be able to become a policeman."

Of course he understands what his father is thinking.

Since he was a child, his father has wanted his son to become an outstanding police officer. When he mentioned his plans after graduation, he was probably trying to express his opinion in a subtle way.

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent for a moment, looking at the moon in the sky.

"If I remember correctly, you wanted to be a supervisor when you were young, right? Being able to persist in your dream until now is an amazing thing in itself."

"Dad, I..."

What Emiya was about to say was interrupted.
To be continued...
