Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

Looking at the adorable little cutie clinging to his leg with a pleading expression, Ma En was instantly overwhelmed by the cuteness. Countless friends named Awei were instantly charmed to death by the cuteness.

"Ilya, be good, stop making a fuss. Ma Ensang and the others aren't there to play around. Don't cause them any trouble."

Knowing that the three little ones would come straight here after school, Irisviel, who had come to greet her daughter, quickly went over to comfort her daughter and tried to pull her away first.

Ilya immediately struggled and hugged Ma En tightly: "Ah, Ilya wants to go too, Ilya doesn't want to be excluded."

Helpless, Irisviel could only apologize to Marne, "I'm sorry, Marne, this child has caused you trouble again."

"It's alright, it's no trouble at all. Who wouldn't love such a lovely child as Ilya?"

Ma En waved his hand with a smile, then looked down at Ilya, patted her head, and said with a smile, "Since you want to go too, then come along. As you said, it wouldn't be good to separate you from them."

"Really?!" Lia exclaimed with delight, "Yay! Alright! Lia is going on a trip with Oni-chan too!"

Well, for her, being excluded was secondary; she mainly envied Rin and Sakura for being able to travel with Maen.

Whenever she goes out with Ma En, what is Rin? What is Sakura? What is her younger sister? Ilya says: Yes!

"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble. I really apologize."

The daughter was happy, but Irisviel, as the mother, was very embarrassed and repeatedly apologized to Marne.

"No need to apologize, it's not a big deal anyway."

Ma En waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind, and then changed the subject: "Alright, you go back and get her ready first. We'll leave tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Irisviel readily agreed, not wanting to cause any more trouble for Marne, and hurriedly dragged Ilya back to prepare.

The next morning, after breakfast, Maren, along with the Lion King and Mordred, each took one child and headed to the airport. Their luggage was placed directly in Maren's personal space, rather than traveling light.

Chapter 157 Sakura Tohsaka: ?, Kallen Altsia

With three excited little girls and a somewhat restless Mordred, the group of six boarded a plane bound for Europe.

The reason for taking a plane instead of teleporting directly is that we need to 'leave' to let those people hiding in the shadows around Fuyuki know that we have left.

Another point is that since it's a trip, you should take your time.

Otherwise, if it's too fast, not to mention whether the three girls will be happy, it will also be difficult for Marx and Engels to carry out their plan. If it doesn't take a little longer, it will be awkward if they don't have an excuse later.

The three little girls chattered away the whole way, as it was their first time on an airplane (Ilya had been teleported directly to Fuyuki with the others), so they were full of curiosity about everything.

Every now and then he'd say to Marne, "Oni-chan, kore-nani (What is this?)?"

Ma En happily responded, explaining everything the three curious children didn't understand.

Mordred's quiet demeanor surprised Marne, but considering that she had originally come to Fuyuki by plane, it didn't seem strange.

Since it was almost like flying to the other side of the world, which would take more than ten hours, the three girls played around for a while, but once the novelty wore off, they all quieted down and became so bored that they were drowsy.

"Go to sleep. It will still be daytime when we get there. Take a nap now so you won't have trouble sleeping at night."

"Hi, Oni-chan, goodnight." X3

After coaxing the three little girls to sleep, Ma En greeted the Lion King and Mordred, and then took turns dozing off.

The journey was safe, and the six of them disembarked in southern Europe.

Actually, Ma En also wanted to fly directly to London, but unfortunately Fuyuki is not a major city, the airport is rather poor, there are very few international flights, and it is also quite remote.

If you want to fly to an internationally renowned city, you either have to transfer in Tokyo first, or you have to fly to the vicinity of your destination and then transfer there.

However, since the next flight to London from this airport wouldn't arrive until 4 p.m., Marne and the others had to leave the airport first and go out for a stroll.

Of course, this was within Marne's expectations; he had specifically chosen this route.

After hiring a car, Maren led everyone to a church.

"Maonnie-chan, what are we doing here?"

After the three little ones got out of the car, they looked around curiously. Ilya couldn't help but ask.

She thought that Maren would take them to the streets, or to parks, or to amusement parks, but instead they came to an old church.

Ma En smiled slightly and casually patted his head again: "I came here to pick someone up."

Upon hearing this, Rin, the little girl, immediately leaned over with a curious expression: "Picking someone up? Who is it?"

Ma En thought for a moment and said, "Yes, a younger sister, your younger sister."

"Little sister?" Sakura Tohsaka, who was usually quite quiet, immediately reacted.

She was the youngest of the three, so she was always the younger sister.

Now, hearing that they will have another younger sister, she couldn't help but feel both excited and uneasy.

The hope is that once this younger sister arrives, she can be the older sister too.

The anxiety stems from the fact that with her younger sister's arrival, she will no longer be the youngest, and she doesn't know if she will lose her status as the group's favorite.

However, the main expectation is still for more. After all, with the precedent of Ilya, people naturally have a preconceived notion that this new friend will also be an easy-going playmate.

Without saying anything more, Marne pushed open the door and walked into the old church.

There was only an elderly priest in the church. When he saw someone suddenly arrive, he went up to ask what was wrong.

Maren quickly explained his purpose: "Karen Ordesia, this child must be being fostered here. I have come to take her back at the request of her grandfather, Father Kotomine."

That's right, Ma En came here specifically to find Karen.

It wasn't that he was actually commissioned by Kotomine Risei, but rather that Ma En suddenly remembered this person when he was looking at the three little girls yesterday.

I also thought of his background; he wasn't doing very well as a child, which is now.

Since he now has a pretty good relationship with the Kirei family, he went to ask Kirei Kirei about it.

As a result, Kirei Kotomine, that scoundrel who abandoned his wife and daughter, knew nothing at all, except that he had entrusted Karen to the church.

Ma En had no choice but to seek out Kirei Kotomine, who also felt it was time to bring his granddaughter back, since Kirei Kotomine was gradually becoming 'normal' again.

Finally, through Kotomine Risei's connections, they managed to find out Karen's location from the church, which was this place.

“That child…” The priest’s expression shifted, as if he wanted to say something, but then stopped and changed his words, “She is indeed here, but please verify it, otherwise I cannot entrust her to you with peace of mind.”

Ma En didn't notice anything amiss and took out the information that Kotomine Rizashi had given him.

Inside are photos of Kirei Kotomine and Karen's mother, a photo of Karen's mother holding the baby Karen, some registration documents to prove Karen's kinship, and finally, a handwritten letter from Risei Kotomine and a certificate from the church.

The old priest looked through it, and nodded after confirming that there were no problems.

However, the old priest seemed somewhat guilty, but still tried to remain calm and said, "...She's inside. Come with me."

Marx and the others were a few steps behind him.

“Master, something’s not right with this priest.”

Mordred leaned closer and whispered something, and the Lion King beside him nodded in agreement.

Although the old priest concealed it well, those people were too obvious to notice such small details.

“I know,” En replied in a low voice, adding, “The child’s mother committed suicide.”

The two understood instantly.

Suicide is forbidden in Christianity. The doctrine clearly states that life is given by the Lord and no one has the right to control their own life or death. To do so is to commit the sin of usurpation and will lead to hell.

The more devout a believer is, the more they hate 'sinners' who violate the doctrine.

Therefore, the relatives of the 'sinner' will be implicated in private, even if they don't say it openly.

Being discriminated against is the least of your worries; the real danger is that some fanatics might use reasons like, "You must atone for the sins of your relatives," to pin the blame on your relatives.

This old priest, to become a priest, must naturally be a devout believer.

Therefore, it's not hard to imagine what kind of treatment Karen would receive from him.

Now that Karen's "parents" have come knocking on his door, how could he not feel guilty?

"How could he do that? He's just a child."

After the Lion King understood the cause and effect, the way he looked at the old priest in front of him changed.

Not only her, but Mordred was also somewhat angry.

Chapter 158 The Hysterical Old Priest and the Incomprehensible Fanatic

Seeing that the two were getting angry, Ma En quickly said, "Don't be impulsive. We haven't even seen the person yet. Let's see how things go first."

"Hmm." The person nodded and held back for the time being.

The situation wasn't clear yet, so even if they were angry, they had no reason to cause trouble for the old priest.

As they were talking, the group arrived at the living area behind the church.

Then I saw a thin figure, dressed in simple clothes, sitting at the table, gnawing on a hard, dry bread. When he couldn't eat anymore, he would soak it in the soup with only a few vegetable leaves in front of him until it softened before eating it again.

The small figure had long, silver-white hair, golden eyes, and a thin, bony face, yet she was still exquisite and adorable. She was none other than Karen Aldesia, whom Maren was looking for.

"Father Lyle."

When she saw someone arrive, she looked over and first glanced curiously at Marne and the others. Then she quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the old priest, her movements practiced, clearly indicating that she had been required to do so for a long time.

Maren's face darkened on the spot. Although he was prepared, he did not expect that Karen's living conditions here would be so poor.

Hard bread with vegetable soup—isn't that just a Western version of steamed buns with pickled vegetables? Even in China these days, not many families would let their children eat so poorly.

Even if they do have food, it's only once or twice a day. Normally, the 390 family members eat rice and meat, taking great care of the child to prevent him from going hungry.

Besides, steamed buns are at least warm and soft, while Karen's dry bread is cold and hard, and she really can't bite into it if she doesn't have good teeth.

“Father Lyle, what’s going on?”

Marne, who had originally planned to ask about the situation first, couldn't hold back any longer and questioned the old priest on the spot.

"The church should have given you enough child support to live a normal life for her. Although it's not a lot, it should definitely cover her nutritional needs. So why is she eating so poorly now? Is this what you consider a normal life?"

The Lion King and Mordred glared at the old priest, their imposing auras threatening to erupt, as if they were about to attack if he failed to provide a reasonable explanation.

Although the three little girls didn't quite understand, they looked at Karen with surprise and felt sorry for their new little sister.

"Well... actually, our grain supply is almost empty today, and the new grain hasn't been delivered yet..."
