I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

Why are some things so unforgettable to a person?

Is it too special to be impressive, too heartbreaking to be sympathetic, or too happy to be joyful?

The woman, who had never seen anything in the outside world, felt that the moment she saw the boy who made her heart ache for the first time, she would never forget this boy.

What a sacred sleeping face that is, making people want to protect it.

Even though his body was covered in wounds, his calm face always seemed to be comforting those who were looking at him.

[I'm fine, don't worry. ]

"Idiot! Why are you being so stubborn?"

Irisviel cursed angrily.

From childhood to adulthood, she would cry out when she was in pain and throw tantrums when she couldn't bear it. Perhaps because of her fate, her family members were very tolerant of her.

She really hates people like this who are seriously injured but still try to be strong!

Humph! A person who is completely opposite to me!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel curious. She looked around stealthily. After finding that there was no one else around, she tiptoed to the bed.

Use your hands to pinch the boy's face, pinch his nose, pinch his ears, ruffle his hair, etc.

She did all the funny things.

Finally, she sighed regretfully and said, "Qi, it seems there is no difference!"

With her hands folded in front of her chest to highlight her majestic figure, Irisviel sat down on the edge of the bed, tapping her legs as she thought about what else she could do to satisfy her curiosity.

"Oh, right!"

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind!

Irisviel smiled slyly and stretched out her claws to do whatever she wanted to the boy...

-----------------

This is a very long dream.

It seemed that he had dreamed of something very sad. At least when he woke up, Mu Lin was in an extremely depressed mood.

But he tried hard to recall but couldn't remember what he dreamed about.

Moreover, a woman in front of him who looked like a pure white elf attracted his attention.

She was an innocent and active woman who made people want to protect her.

"Cough cough cough..."

“Ah!! He’s awake!!”

Just as Irisviel was about to lift the quilt to find out what was going on, she jumped up like a rabbit!

She quickly hid behind the oak chair and poked her head out to secretly look at Mu Lin.

Pure red eyes collide with pure black eyes.

This is the starting point where the originally parallel world lines intertwine.

“You! You you! Who are you?!”

Alice turned around and questioned Mu Lin.

But what she didn't expect was that the other party just glanced at her and ignored her.

This had no interest for her, but she was irritated by the feeling of being ignored despite her interest in him.

She simply stopped hiding and walked to the bedside. Looking down from above, she pointed her slender jade finger at the boy who was staring blankly at the ceiling and raised her voice:

"Hey! Outsider! Tell me your name now!"

"..."

"Hey! Tell me who you are!"

"..."

“Mmmmmmm!!!”

The fact that Mu Lin completely ignored her made Irisviel like a mad cat. She held her head in confusion, clenched her fists and asked again in a fierce tone.

"I am the master of this place. You, a mere mortal, have trespassed into the great Einzbern's base camp without permission. I have the right to give you a beating!!"

"Is this Einzbern?"

“Ah! He’s talking!!” Irisviel was startled, “So he’s not deaf!”

"Qi! You were silent the whole time, and then you suddenly spoke. Are you trying to scare me on purpose?! You are looking for death! Be careful or I will beat you up!!"

"..."

"If you can hear and speak, answer me!!"

"..."

Mu Lin even closed his eyes to show that out of sight, out of mind.

“Aaaaaaaah!! Ahhh!!”

Irisviel was so angry that she went crazy. If she wasn't kind-hearted, she really wanted to punch this ungrateful boy!

Just then, the door opened and Ahad walked in with a group of maids.

Alice was so angry that she forgot to hide and was caught red-handed.

"Irisviel, why are you here?!"

Ahad asked seriously.

"Ah... Master... I... I."

"She snuck in."

For some reason, Mu Lin suddenly blurted out these words.

"Eh?!"

Irisviel looked at the legless and armless boy in disbelief!

Then, he got so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted guiltily: "No! He slandered me!!"

"Alright! Stop making trouble and leave first!"

"Yes!"

Alice's chest heaved with anger. She turned her head and stared at Mu Lin fiercely, snorted coldly, then strode out.

"you're awake?"

Ahad came to Mulin and looked at his healed wounds.

"With such a self-healing ability, it seems that your body is not that of an ordinary person."

"Who are you?" Mu Lin asked.

"My name is Ahad, and I am the eighth generation head of the Einzbern family."

"Why save me?"

......

After finding out about Einzbern's situation, Mu Lin had already decided to participate in the so-called Holy Grail War, complete his revenge, and protect the world so that the people he cared about would not be harmed, so he nodded and agreed to repay Einzbern for saving his life.

There are two requirements for return.

One is to become a member of the Einzbern clan, but the way to become an orthodox member will become clear later.

The second is to become the Master representing Einzbern, win the war, and obtain the Holy Grail.

These requirements naturally have prerequisites for Mu Lin, a disabled person.

The first thing he had to do was to prove whether his strength was worthy of Einzbern entrusting the fate of the Fourth Holy Grail War to him.

In the operating room.

The process of splicing the android's limbs onto Mu Lin's body through surgery without anesthesia will inevitably involve severe pain.

But Ahad couldn't help feeling surprised and confused when he saw Mu Lin didn't even frown.

After confirming that the operation was not wrong, he asked, "Mulin, have you lost your sense of pain?"

After all, he was already a reserve family member, so Ahad called Mu Lin by his name directly.

"No, it's just a little pain that I can still bear."

"Really? In the Einzbern family, everyone who undergoes human body modification will scream for a long time. It seems that you, the new member of the clan, have amazing perseverance!"

Ahad was in a good mood as he became more and more satisfied with Mulin.

The better Mu Lin performs, the more confident he is in obtaining the Holy Grail!

"Then you will be given a week to adapt to this body, and you will be tested after a week."

"If you succeed, congratulations, you will marry into our long-standing Einzbern family!"

"Marry into the wife's family?" Mu Lin moved his stiff limbs and frowned.

"Yes, as for your fiancée, I will tell you later."

"......Um."

-----------------

In the evening, the Einzbern family held a rare dinner party.

Although it was just a simple welcome party, many members of the tribe did not participate.

The long dining table was filled with wine and food.

A dozen expressionless android maids stood respectfully around, waiting to be called at any time.

Despite such a grand occasion, there were only three people enjoying the dinner.

Ahad, Irisviel, Mulin.

There were more than twenty seats, with only three people sitting there.

Especially under the dim light, the atmosphere here seems extremely depressing.

This scene seemed natural to Ahad and Irisviel, and they did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Maybe before Mu Lin came, there were only two of them sitting here?

The empty and boring banquet passed slowly.

The format is basically the same as before

But for those present, everything changed because of Mu Lin's arrival.

Ahad was happy because he had some confidence in obtaining the Holy Grail.

Alice stared at Mu Lin fiercely, biting the meat bite by bite as if she was eating Mu Lin's own flesh.

After the dinner, Mu Lin sat in a wheelchair and the maid pushed him to the bedroom.

But in the dim corridor, the way was blocked by someone.

"Miss." The maid bowed respectfully to the woman in front of her.

"Yeah! You can back off. I'll take him to the bedroom."

Miss Irisviel waved her hand gracefully, as if she was proud to show off her status in front of outsiders.

"Yes."

After the maid left, Irisviel shook her head to make sure there was no one else around, and then her dignified young lady's demeanor suddenly changed.

She showed an angry expression and walked towards the forest with cute gait, like a bear.

When she got closer, she pointed her finger at the tip of Mu Lin's nose.

The head maid told her that this posture was the most disrespectful to others and she must never do it.

Violating the head maid's rules would result in terrible punishment, but this time she did it secretly, so you can imagine how much she hates Mu Lin!

"It's you! The snitch! I hate people like you the most!!"

"I was helping you correct your mistakes, but you blamed me instead. It's really unreasonable."

Perhaps it is the keenness accumulated over the long years.

When Mu Lin saw Alice for the first time, he realized that she was like a white dot on black paper in this castle, out of place yet innocent.

This kind of family with no family affection and a depressing atmosphere often has a very dark side.

And this dark side will inevitably be related to people whose personalities do not match its own.

and so.

The white-haired elf in front of me is a pitiful person who is bound to face a tragic fate in the future.

How similar to myself...

Mu Lin sighed.

If you can protect her, do your best.

Thinking of this, Mu Lin also heard the other party's answer.

"I'm not being unreasonable!" Irisviel retorted with a red face, "You're so annoying!"

Knowing she was in the wrong, she said in a sullen tone, "I won't take you to the bedroom! Push the wheelchair by yourself! Humph!"

Having said that, she walked away in a hurry.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, as if they had really left Mu Lin behind.

Seeing this, Mu Lin raised his robot arm with difficulty, and slowly supported the wheel like a beginner learning to use chopsticks, trying to push it forward.

But for some reason, his body seemed not to be adapted to the prosthesis, and no matter how hard he tried, he had difficulty coordinating his arms to move.

In this way, he lingered for a long time, and when it seemed that he would stay here all night, a burst of brisk footsteps slowly came.

"Huh! How stupid!!"

Irisviel, who had been hiding in the corner and peeking, smiled like a little devil.

"Even the lowest-ranking maids are worse than them. They can move freely within an hour after getting their prosthetic limbs fixed!"

"Fool!"

She cursed with a vengeful pleasure, then pushed the wheelchair and took Mu Lin forward.

"Since you are so stupid, I will help you!"

"You must be very grateful to me!"

-----------------

This is a very large bedroom in a classical Western style, so large that it has a long sofa and fireplace like in a living room.

Even with the firelight, this uncomfortably wide bedroom still seemed very dark and depressing, which matched the style of the castle very well.

But there is a place that is the only pure land, which is as incompatible with Irisviel and this entire castle.

After Mu Lin entered the bedroom, he looked towards the window. Outside the window was the never-ending heavy snow. In the bright outdoors, they were like white elves, the only purity in this depressing castle.

"This is your bedroom!"

Alice pushed Mu Lin aside and walked around alone, looking at the layout of the bedroom.

In this dim space, she was like a dancing white elf, spinning around and looking around lively. After seeing the differences between the layout of her bedroom and her own, she said regretfully, "There's nothing new here!"

Then, she took the teapot and filled it with a cup of water, as if she were treating this place as her own bedroom, and sat on the sofa, drinking it while warming herself by the fire.

Drinking hot tea and warming herself by the fire is her favorite way to while away the time in such a cold place!

But just when she had completely forgotten about Mu Lin.

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the side and Irisviel looked over quickly.

Mu Lin seemed to be trying to control his prosthesis to stand up, but he lost control and fell to the ground.

He was seriously injured and fell heavily.

This makes people feel pain for him just thinking about it.

For a moment, Irisviel was annoyed at herself for having the habit of drinking tea and sitting by the fire. She immediately stood up and trotted over to help him up.

"Oh! Sorry, I forgot about you." She said apologetically, "But what did you want to do when you stood up? Do you want some water?"

"Just trying to get used to the prosthesis."

"Oh, so that's how it is. But at least you should get used to your hands first and then your feet, right? Now you're so clumsy that you can't even push a wheelchair! At least if you learn how to push a wheelchair, I won't have to help you push it every day."

"No, you can go."

"Go? Where?"

"Get out of my bedroom."

“Oh!” Irisviel was as proud as a swan. “This is my home. How dare a mere outsider chase me away? I won’t leave!”

As she said this, she took off her shoes as if she was going to stay here and die, and jumped onto the sofa, lying on her side gracefully.

Seeing her rogue look, Mu Lin didn't bother to care and continued to adapt to the prosthesis. He also followed Irisviel's advice and raised his hands with difficulty, watching the very uncoordinated fingers move one to the left and one to the right.

His first adaptation goal now is to coordinate his fingers so that they can move in the same direction at the same time.

But it took him a long time to adjust to this simple change that was common to everyone in the castle.

Alice, who was lying on the sofa, was hiding behind the sofa stealthily, peeking around.

Mu Lin’s clumsiness made her laugh from time to time. In the end, she couldn’t help it and laughed out loud, holding her stomach.

"Hahaha! Aren't you too stupid?!"

"Forget it! Let me teach you!"
