Chapter 239: Time Management Master. Alvin!

The living room lights filtered in through the Japanese-style paper windows.

Matou Sakura quietly curled up in Alvin's arms, her fingertips unconsciously stroking his face. "Senpai's magical energy... is much warmer than I imagined."

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and the tips of her hair still seemed to carry fine beads of sweat.

Alvin played with a strand of her long hair, his tone incredibly gentle as he spoke softly. "After all, that is the most primitive way to directly feel magical energy... Moreover, my magical energy itself is quite different from that of ordinary mages."

When he said this, he could not help but sigh sincerely from the bottom of his heart. "However, Sakura's magic circuits are truly astonishing. To think they can actually withstand the magical energy of the White Dragon."

"Probably because the residual spell from Kama is still active."

Matou Sakura propped herself up.

Her loose kimono was slightly disheveled.

From Alvin's upward viewpoint, it was as if one could feel the magnificent swell of the young girl's breasts.

"Senpai actually noticed it long ago, right?"

Her fair and delicate face still carried a charming blush.

Her beautiful eyes gazed at him with extreme gentleness. "You deliberately made me use this method... to purify the corruption of the Beast of Desire?"

The White Dragon could devour other people's magical energy and convert it into the White Dragon furnace core.

Previously, after Kama had been knocked unconscious by Tiamat, she had been continuously sleeping inside Matou Sakura's body.

And Alvin, just in case, when he exchanged magical energy with Sakura earlier, conveniently extracted a portion of Kama's magical energy as well.

Even if Kama were to awaken in the future, it would be impossible for her to control this body of Matou Sakura again.

Alvin stood up and gently kissed the girl on the cheek and said softly. "Although I am quite pleased that you imagined me as someone who had everything perfectly planned... in fact,

I really did not think that much at the beginning."

"I was simply captivated by Sakura's charm, and that is all."

Hearing his words, Matou Sakura's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

For a brief moment, a trace of panic flashed across her face as she fiddled with her bangs and said in a low voice. "Do not suddenly say such things meant to make a girl happy...

You are so skilled at it. You must have said this to quite a few people before, right?"

"I have never said it before... You can even confirm this with a Command Spell if you want."

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became particularly intimate.

At this time, Alvin raised his hand and quietly felt the girl's heartbeat.

After a long while, he revealed a gentle smile. "Your heart is beating very fast, Sakura."

The latter shyly glanced at him once, then quickly lowered her head again. Her tone suddenly became downcast. "Will I still be able to see Senpai in the future?"

"We will meet again very soon."

Alvin stroked the girl's beautiful hair. "When you have time, go to the Clock Tower with Rin to see your father...

He should miss you two very much."

"At that time... we will meet again as well."

...

After temporarily leaving the Matou residence, Alvin did not rest at all.

Instead, he immediately headed deep into a forest in Fuyuki.

Einzbern Castle.

A qualified time management master knows how to fully grasp time.

Snowflakes covered the ground outside Einzbern Castle.

Illya stood inside the living room, standing on her tiptoes and reaching her hand toward the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

The homunculus's characteristic pale skin looked almost transparent under the moonlight.

"Big Brother disappeared for nearly three hours. Sajyou-san and Princess Morgan should be looking for you everywhere, right?"

She turned around, her pure white dress swayed gently, vaguely revealing a pair of fair and tender little feet as a pure smile hung on her face.

"I thought you would not come to see me anymore."

In the field of vision, a boy dressed in black quietly appeared.

Hearing her words, his eyes were filled with apology as he said. "I am also sorry that I have not been able to have a proper chat with you since the Holy Grail War, Illya."

"Please accept this gift as compensation. Is that okay?"

Alvin walked out from the shadows and handed a piece of magic dragon scale to Illya. "Keep it with you. From now on, even if the Lesser Grail stops functioning, it will continuously supply you with magical energy... as long as I am still here."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Illya clearly froze for a moment.

She even forgot the dissatisfaction she had accumulated all this time and subconsciously looked up at the boy. "But Big Brother is going to disappear soon."

Once a Servant disappears... would the things he gave still remain in the present world?

"It is complicated to explain. Just take it with you. I don't have another one for your Mother. But just tell her that I missed her."

"Why don't you tell her yourself?"

Seeing that this guy was still missing her mother even when she was here, Illya couldn't help but puff her cheek.

However, thinking about the silver-haired woman at the castle, not willing to move on...she finally sighed.

Both Mother and Daughter falling for one man...no, not just mother and daughter, even Ancestor too.

'Forget it, she's not my biological mom, so there shouldn't be that much problem.'

However, she was still angry.

It's just he was about to leave soon... what's the use of such impotent anger?

Alvin didn't know what she saw thinking.

But seeing her sad expression, he reached out and gently stroked the girl's smooth silver hair.

"When the winter snow melts, you can go out with your mother to relax...

If you have time, you can also come to the Clock Tower."

"Clock Tower...?"

Illya was stunned for a moment and looked at Alvin in confusion, seemingly not understanding what those three words meant.

But soon, as if she thought of something, she stared straight at Alvin. "Then what about Big Brother? Are you going to become someone else's hero again?"

These words sounded almost like she was asking:

'Just how many women do you have outside?'

A bright smile appeared on Alvin's face, but before he could speak, the castle's main door was suddenly pushed open.

The sound of Morgan's high heels stepping on the floor also broke this peaceful silence.

"He is not suited to be a hero. However, I do have a place that is quite suitable for him to stay long-term... in the basement of Avalon."

"I wonder if you are interested... Alvin~"

The cold voice echoed in the ears of the two.

Illya's expression changed slightly and suddenly raised her head and looked toward the direction of the castle's main entrance.

The crystal chandelier illuminated the woman's seductive makeup, and her gorgeous dress wrapped around an exceptionally sexy figure.

Morgan slowly raised her head and smiled as she looked the boy up and down. "Alvin... I thought you were planning to hide until I disappeared."

As she spoke, ice crystals seemed to quietly condense inside the hall of Einzbern Castle.

Did Sister use Index Magic or something?

'She actually found me so quickly...'

Alvin calmly raised his hand to greet her without any change in expression. "Sister, I was just about to go find you."

At the same time, he secretly felt relieved in his heart.

Fortunately that Sister Morgan had not gone to the Matou house earlier.

Otherwise, if she had witnessed that sisterly scene, it would have been extremely awkward right there on the spot.

Oh no... With Morgan's personality, she might have directly thrown him into the "Tower of Imprisonment."

Illya gently furrowed her brows.

The ice crystals spreading from beneath Morgan's dress hem were reflected in her pupils.

Morgan le Fay... She still had some understanding of this woman.

In history, she was an extremely arrogant person, and not long ago she had just gotten into a fierce fight with Sajyou Manaka over Alvin's matter.

She never expected her to actually come here...

Morgan scanned her surroundings with her gaze and suddenly said. "Merlin is not here?"

"Caster said that he won't be of much use anymore from now on, so before leaving he planned to chat a bit more with his 'fans'."

"Merlin's... fans?"

Morgan tilted her head, her cold and beautiful face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Where did this scumbag Merlin get fans from?

She quickly collected her thoughts and turned her gaze toward Alvin instead.

A smile that seemed to break the ice suddenly bloomed on her face.

"Alvin, I have been looking for you for a very long time. When I used Index Magic earlier, you were still at the Matou house, but now you have already appeared at Einzbern Castle..."

"You are quite busy."

By the time she finished speaking, her tone had become ice-cold, as if it contained no emotion at all.
