Illyasviel Emiya deeply confused Illyasviel von Einzbern.

Or whoever was the one she was having a rather frustrating talk with. One moment, she was enjoying a nice nap by the warm bed, resting as the next day was going to be a long one for her Berserker, the next one, as she woke up, she found a Mama-like woman in her bed cuddling up with her.

A dream? That's what her sleep-influenced brain conjured within that mere scene as she was expected to wake up but... couldn't. She just couldn't leave such a wonderful dream unattended. That's when Illya realized something was wrong. First, the height was anomalous, then the voice was too softer and less mature and, finally, the one thing that she spotted instantly as she hugged back was that the breasts that she was pressing her head against...

Were bigger than her mama's!

The little Einzbern instantly felt an alarm bell ring loudly on her ears and she jumped away from the impostor.

"W-Who are you?"

"Hmm~?" The fellow Einzbern lady blinked as she lifted her upper body away from the warm bed. "I am Illya."

The child-like girl squawked at that. "I-I am Illya, impostor!"

"No, I am Illya. Illya Emiya... wait, you said that you are Illya too?! That's so cool!"

"It is not!" The little girl snapped angrily. "I am the only Illya, you faker!"

"I am no faker, you little adorable bundle of confusion!"

"I am not little!" The shrieking escalated and, soon, a certain maid duo rushed to her assistance.

"Lady Illyasviel, what is going-"

"Wait, you have a Sella and a Leysritt too?" The older-looking Illya inquired in delight before then frowning at them. "But why are they wearing plain dresses?"

It was now Sella's turn to get irritated. "P-Plain?! These are the traditional garbs for maids of the Einzbern family, they have been styled to be eternally beautiful for centuries to come."

But they are plain, little Illya had to agree to that feeling despite having a growing headache in handling this absurd home invasion.

This thought in particular was nothing new ever since she went looking for any interesting clothes in Fuyuki, with what she found being particularly... different than how she expected maid outfits to be like. In fact, the dress shop's owner was keen to remark how 'antiquate' the nun outfits for the maids looked to be. And that's where Illya was given a book on old-style outfits.

Indeed, the Einzbern maids' outfits were a mixture of a hospital nun and barely an European maid.

"But it's plain," The usually quieter maid beside Sella spoke and drew some attention to herself.

"Thanks, Liz!"

...Liz?

"Her name is Leysritt," Sella retorted furiously, but little Illya had to nod at the efficiency of providing less mouthful names for her helpers.

"Liz is fine too. Right, Leysritt?"

"I wouldn't mind it, milady," The stoic maid nodded, but while she kept her expression devoid of emotions, the little Einzbern could perceive a degree of... delight on this development.

"L-Lady Illya, what should we do with this one? She is an intruder and someone that could be a threat to us."

With all the sudden silliness suppressed, Illya found herself stuck in an odd decision as her 'older self' looked a bit surprised by this circumstance. Still, there was one thing that bothered her quite a bit.

"Why didn't Berserker react to you as a threat?"

The inquiry was met with a surprised jolt from the subject of her question.

"Wait, Berserker? As in one of the Servants of the Holy Grail War?"

"Yes? I am a competitor for the Fifth edition," The little girl remarked, narrowing her eyes as her confusion was just doubling over this perplexity.

The older Illya looked taken aback by this revelation. "That's impossible, Papa told me that the grail was dismantled at the end of the Fourth War."

...

"Papa? You... Papa is alive?"

"Well yeah, but Mama has been on his butt for smoking his life away like a dum-dum so, that's to take into account."

Mama... is alive too?

"Lady Illyasviel-"

"Tell me more. Tell me what you remember of the Holy Grail War and how you may have ended up here?" Illya ignored Sella's uneasy looks, focusing on what really was important.

A different situation which provided her with answers to questions she had ignored for so long and... that actually provided reasons on why this turned into what is it now. First, her Papa actually tried to get to Germany and bring her out of the castle after the end of the war, but there was one thing she could agree with older Illya being the cause of him not being able to accomplish that- the Boundary Fields, she never suspected her grandfather would have been so horrible in that situation, to lie to her like this.

The difference in this alternate turn of events being the presence of two individuals 'Kujo Jotaro' and 'Joseph Joestar', together with a different Caster than the one reported in the previous War to break the Boundary Fields and force Acht's hand in releasing her current 'older' self. Thus, this Illya was never 'fitted' to be used as a Lesser Grail, her body was allowed to grow naturally and she had achieved a normal life with also a crush (or obsession really) giving substance to her love life.

Any hatred she felt for Kiritsugu slowly vanished as she realized that the reason he may have died was connected to two things: 1) the Grail was corrupted, something rationalized by the fact that 'Evil Heroic Spirits' were fit for summoning which wasn't meant to be the case, and it could have infected her Papa when he tried to destroy it, and 2) Trying to force his way into the Boundary Fields may have lessened his lifespan, together with the stress and sleep-deprivation of trying to do this at odd hours.

Everything that had built her ambition was now crumbling and her hopes of solving her time-limited condition were now dashed away. But it wasn't time to give up yet as her 'older' version mentioned something about Aozaki Touko being the one that helped them in that process as some of the body-modeling required a specific form of magic she treasured a lot about. She owed Kiritsugu a favor, something that was also a thing even now which would make it possible for them to just leave Fuyuki momentarily or even ask her to be there to do it in this safe location.

The idea was alluring, and she had plans to deal with this as swiftly as possible. Then the taller Einzbern reached the end of the exhaustive and, at times, confusing explanation, bringing up another detail she was curious about.

"Finally, I was talking with Saku-chan, hugging her and getting ready to confess my undying love to her when... wait, Saku-chan!"

"...Who is Saku-chan?" Lil' Illya asked, the maids having taken a seat to monitor the situation during the explanation.

"Oh that's- How do I put it... I like her. A lot~."

"Is that the one you said you were obsessed about?" The child-like girl reasoned, causing the blush on her bigger self to further manifest. "You like a girl?"

"There- There's nothing wrong with that. Plus, mama and papa are fine with this if I am respectful of her and don't do anything adults do with her."

"...Why?"

"Well, she is so... cute. And awesome. She is so strong-looking, and her rare smiles are so... Hmm~"

That's so creepy...

"Wait, if I ended up here, then there's a chance that Saku-chan ended here too... with another version of Saku-chan?"

"You think so?" Illya inquired and her counterpart nodded. "Well, we could go and check, but I... what is her full name? You didn't say."

"Well, her full name for my Saku-chan is Kujo Sakura, but I think her previous family name was Matou or something."

...That feels oddly ironic.

AN

Zolgen is crying in his demented self as he knows a Einzbern is now giving chase to a (no longer) Matou! The perfect Reverse-Simp scheme!

Still, next time, Chad!Shinji shall show Virgin!Shinji the wae and lead him away from being an utter 'noob'. Clickbait? Maybe or maybe not.
