Chapter 849: I Choose to Be Sponsored by a Rich Lady!
Chapter 849: I Choose to Be Sponsored by a Rich Lady!
Alice Phil knew that Yecheng was not only a powerful magician but also skilled in alchemy and a knowledgeable scholar.
In the past, he had tinkered with many things in his research lab, even surpassing the understanding of magicians in this era.
Even though Yecheng wanted to help Illya, in this environment, where even the technology for creating artificial humans was not feasible, how could he save his own daughter?
So, Alice Phil thought it through; this time, she had to invite Yecheng to her house under the pretense of hospitality.
After all, the Einzbern family had nothing else but plenty of money!
"You want to invite me to stay at your place?" Yecheng, sitting on his bed, gave Alice Phil a serious look.
"Of course. We're friends, and I've been a bother at the Kuzuki residence for a long time. Now that you have nowhere to go, it's only right that I return the favor and host you, isn't it?"
Alice Phil's intentions were mostly known to Yecheng, as a traverser, he was not only familiar with the plot of the Fourth Holy Grail War but also had a clear understanding of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
However, even though Yecheng knew Alice Phil's ulterior motives, he didn't expose her at this moment. Instead, he casually made up an excuse, "Never mind. You know that I don't get along well with that guy, Shirou Emiya.
Moreover, regarding this Holy Grail War, I don't want to get involved. If I wanted a good place to stay, I would have returned to the Kuzuki residence long ago."
Hearing Yecheng's refusal, Alice Phil hurriedly stood up and anxiously spoke, "I'm not asking you to help me seize the Holy Grail. I just want you to save my daughter, Illya.
As for Shirou Emiya, he doesn't live with us, and ever since the Fourth Holy Grail War... we've been living separately."
Alice Phil's words this time surprised Yecheng. Previously, he had thought that if Alice Phil didn't die, she would live happily ever after with the Emiya family, as Alice Phil was quite love-obsessed.
But the reality was that after the Fourth Holy Grail War, Alice Phil and Shirou Emiya had been living separately for ten years!
And Illya, just like in the original plot, held a grudge against Shirou Emiya and Shirou Emiya...
So, was this the self-correction mechanism of the World's consciousness?
"Our house has the latest gaming console, with all the newest games and manga, and you can eat as many snacks as you want!"
Yecheng was still pondering whether the World's consciousness would perform self-correction to avoid plot deviations.
On the other side, Alice Phil, sitting on the floor, saw the blush-inducing CGs of a galgame on the monitor and cautiously offered her final bargaining chip.
"All the latest games and manga, including snacks and drinks? Are you sure?"
Seeing Yecheng's serious expression, Alice Phil nodded in confusion.
"If that's the case, then I'll bother you at your place for a while."
To be honest, the recent cultivation life had made Yecheng a bit impulsive. So, when Alice Phil proposed her conditions, she happened to hit his weak spot.
It wasn't that he couldn't make money; it was just that in this modern world, he didn't want to attract trouble over trivial matters.
He wasn't well-off to begin with, and after several days of cultivation, he had spent most of his remaining money. Now, with a rich lady's sponsorship, it wasn't impossible for him to play the role of a kept man.

"Mom, where did you go? Why are you only coming back so late..."
A
When Illya looked closely, she belatedly realized that the man was the same one she had met the previous day! Not only had her mother found him, but she had even brought this man back home!
I
Especially after the start of the Holy Grail War, as Illya was also a participant in the war, their home was fortified with numerous magic barriers.
I
The original Einzbern artificial humans, although capable of using magic, had inferior magic circuits and proficiency compared to top-tier magicians, making the construction of a "Magic Workshop" even more impossible.
H
Although her body was still that of an artificial human, whether it was her physical structure or the artificial magic circuits within her, when Yecheng created her, he incorporated numerous technologies and theories from other worlds. As a result, her quality far surpassed the mass-produced products of the Einzbern assembly line.
A
T
The previously cautious mother now allowed a stranger to casually enter their home, which meant that Illya's previous suspicions might have been correct!
Illya pulled her head out of her mother's ample bosom and, with a hint of shyness, looked at Yecheng and asked, "Are you Illya's maternal grandfather?"
A
Yecheng: (_;
Although Yecheng appeared young, Illya felt it didn't affect her judgment.
A
Moreover, all three of them had white hair, so perhaps it was a characteristic of their clan to never age?
J
"But Mom, didn't you say before that he's your father, and there's no problem with that? Since he's Mom's father, then he's Illya's maternal grandfather..."
