"Well, for today's breakfast..." Emiya Shirou looked at the dishes at home and studied the recipes seriously.

Speaking of which, he still has some recipes left by Xiangling in his hand. Although it is not unreasonable, it does not have a sense of novelty when he cooks it occasionally.

"Senior, what are you going to do today?"

Matou Sakura went to the kitchen, took the vegetable washing basin freely, and helped to wash the dishes Emiya Shirou had selected.

"Let's make something simple, I remember there are some fish at home?"

Emiya Shirou rummaged while talking, and quickly found the dish he wanted, and processed it with the help of Matou Sakura.

When the meal was almost ready, there was a knock on the door.

Outside the door, Fujimura Taiga was carrying some dishes, and greeted them with one free hand. Beside her was Rin Tosaka, who was holding his chest to show that he was not here to eat.

As soon as they walked in, they saw Ilya lying on the dining table. She greeted them listlessly and then sighed.

"Very sleepy……"

Seeing this, Tohsaka Rin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Ah, what did Illya do last night?"

"Woo... the game that Mandrill bought back is so fun!"

While standing in the corner with his eyes closed, Mandrill suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Really, then I will pay attention later."

Yi Liya immediately sat up straight and said, "What are you paying attention to?" She was a little wary, "You don't let me watch TV very much recently! You can't ban games anymore!"

Hearing this, Mandrill hesitated and said, "But the book says that children..."

"I'm not a child anymore!" Illya stood up and said confidently, "Based on my age, I'm Shirou's older sister!"

It just so happened that Emiya Shirou brought the food, and the plate made a noise when it collided with the table, and then smiled at Illya: "Illya, it's time to eat."

Ilya's eyes lit up instantly, and she happily took the plate and ate breakfast.

For a moment, everyone laughed.

And seeing this harmonious scene, the corners of Mandrill's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The days after the end of the Holy Grail War were so quiet and peaceful that his perception of time was a little fuzzy, and he couldn't remember how long this period had passed, but in the end, everyone was smiling.

"Drill? Are you free now?"

Suddenly, Emiya Shiro asked: "I still need some fish for lunch today, can you help me buy some? We have other dishes to deal with here."

Mandrill stood up and nodded at Emiya Shirou, so Emiya Shirou gave him some money with a smile, and let Mandrill go out.

It's not the first time that this kind of going out to buy groceries, and Mandrill isn't used to it - he was really not used to it at first, but after going out a lot, he didn't feel it anymore.

You can even go out wearing the Two-dimensional T-shirt that Illya bought with a serious face.

Although Mandrill doesn't understand human feelings, his expression cracked slightly when he was surrounded by a group of children saying that magical girls are so pretty.

Ah, that's right, what is printed on his clothes is the children's favorite magical girl pattern.

After comforting the children one by one, Mandrill tidied up his messy hair and clothes, and then went to the commercial street with a vegetable basket.

He is a frequent visitor, many people greet him when they see him,

"Hey! Mr. Mandrill! Are you out shopping again today?"

"Drill sauce~ Today's fish is very good~"

"Ah! It's Mr. Mandrill! Our family has some new meat!"

Mandrill nodded to everyone in response one by one, and then walked into the house of the fish seller. After observing carefully for a while, he stretched out his hand: "I want this, this, and this, just wrap it up."

"Okay!" The store owner smiled and packed the fish for him, and wiped off the change of the money along the way.

After buying what he needed, Mandrill was somewhat at a loss. It seemed that there were not enough things to buy today, but there was still money left from Shirou Emiya. So, would he just go back like this?

He couldn't help thinking that Emiya Shirou's apron was broken two days ago, and the game he bought for Illya had also been cleared. Tonight, Fujimura Taiga might have to drink when he came over, and the wine in the refrigerator was gone...

Ah, looking at it this way, there are indeed a lot of things to buy!

Mandrill moved very quickly, and he bought what he wanted in a short time. When he returned to Wei Gong's house with the big bags, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Kind of, too quiet?

Some vigilantly went to knock on the door, but as the door was opened, what greeted Mandrill was a familiar smell.

"Drill! Welcome home!"

Emiya Shirou opened the door, and Mandrill followed into the familiar home, where Matou Sakura was bringing plates of jade-like food to the table.

But Ilya, who often sat at the dining table, was in the kitchen at the moment. She found a bench to put under her feet, and was doing something seriously.

Seeing Mandrill's return, Ilya jumped down happily, ran to Mandrill's body, pulled his clothes and proudly said, "Look! It's Mandrill's favorite almond tofu!"

This was indeed a surprise that Mandrill hadn't expected.

For a moment, he opened his eyes wide, not knowing how to respond.

"Ah! Is this a gift for me?" What broke Mandrill's complex emotions was Illya's little action. She picked up what Mandrill brought back, and happily held up the game Mandrill bought, "It's a new game! "

As if being pulled back, Mandrill softened his expression and said, "Well, there is also an apron for Shirou..."

"Huh? Do I have it too?" Emiya Shirou was a little surprised, then smiled helplessly, "Mr. Mandrill, this money is for you to use..."

Hearing this, Mandrill thought for a moment, then replied, "I bought it for you out of my heart."

"Everything from mortals is useless to me. Instead of giving it to me, it is better to give it to those in need."

Hearing such words, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but rubbed his forehead, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

It was Ilya who pulled La Mandrill's clothes: "Then, almond tofu, do you want to eat?"

Mandrill paused: "Eat."

So amidst the teasing laughter of the crowd, Mandrill was pushed to the dining table, and he looked at the table full of somewhat different almond tofu, showing a somewhat puzzled expression.

On the other hand, Illya introduced to him one by one: "This one was made by me, this one was made by Sakura, and this one was made by Shirou..."

"We have tried various methods, and we don't know which one you like, so you can try them all..."

"These two tastes are slightly different. I put a little more sugar in that one..."

While listening to Ilya's introduction, Mandrill picked up a chopstick and slowly put it in his mouth.

And just as he was eating, Ilya stopped talking, but looked at Mandrill nervously.

What Mandrill just picked up was the one she made.

Mandrill closed his eyes, tasted seriously, and put down the chopsticks after a long time, and Ilya also became nervous following the sound of the chopsticks touching the bowl.

"It's delicious." Mandrill's comment made Ilya's heart drop back into her stomach.

And Mandrill also showed a smile: "It's the smell of a dream."

In an instant, Yi Liya showed a big smile and said proudly: "I knew that Mandrill likes my almond tofu!"

Matou Sakura on the side also laughed: "Yes, then let me have a taste of my share?"

"Taste it all..." Illya whispered, "But I want to give Mandrill a little more."

"Ok?"

"Everyone makes different flavors, right?" Ilya said softly, "Then, can Mandrill taste different flavors of sweet dreams?"

Mandrill was slightly taken aback, he looked at the almond tofu all over the table, and softened his eyes: "Well...it's a wonderful dream."

Afterwards, all the almond tofu was wiped out by Mandrill, during which Emiya Shirou also helped a little, mainly dealing with Matou Sakura's finished products, but everyone was still fed up.

Taiga Fujimura, who missed the almond tofu, rolled on the ground to express his dissatisfaction. After Mandrill delivered the wine, he calmed down and happily tossed the bottle of wine.

It was a crazy day.

At night, the few of them were a little tired. After saying good night to each other, they planned to go to their respective rooms to rest.

Mandrill sent Illya back to the room, and just as he was about to leave, Illya suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

She buried herself under the blanket, revealing her two big red eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Can you chat with me for a while? Wait until I fall asleep...is that okay?"

Mandrill remembered the almond tofu that Ilya made during the day, and a softness flashed in his eyes, so he moved a chair and sat beside Ilya.

"Today's gift, I like it very much."

It was just a casual chat. Illya was quite enthusiastic at first, and Mandrill was listening.

He is the best listener and always looks very serious.

While talking, Ilya was also a little sleepy. She yawned and couldn't keep her eyes open.

Seeing this, Mandrill tucked the quilt up for her: "Since you're sleepy, go to sleep."

"Hmm..." Ilya rubbed her eyes and looked at Mandrill, "There's almond tofu, so don't eat snow in the future, okay?"

Mandrill paused and looked at Ilya: "Okay."

So Ilya smiled and stretched out her little finger: "Then we have made an agreement."

Mandrill played childish games with her helplessly, and then whispered to Illya, "Good night."

"Good night."

She closed her eyes.

The next day, Mandrill went out early in the morning. He wanted to thank yesterday for the almond tofu, so he planned to buy more vegetables and come back.

When I opened the door, I didn't see any familiar figure. The dining table was empty, except for the figure who was crying sleepy while waiting for the meal.

Mandrill suddenly felt a little nervous, he quickly put down his things, and rushed to Ilya's room.

The morning light hit her immature face, which was slightly transparent, and her long eyelashes cast shadows, making her look like an angel.

It's just that she fell asleep and never woke up again.

Mandrill walked to the side of the bed, breathing and walking lightly, as if afraid of waking her up.

He stood for a long time.

Until someone entered the room, he suddenly disappeared.

"Illya!?"

Mandrill disappeared.

Later, no one saw him again. Tohsaka Rin, who had witnessed Mandrill making a wish, believed that he left because the person of the "contract" was no longer there.

It's just a pity that the content of the "contract" is to accompany, not to prolong Illya's life.

Mandrill had fulfilled his obligation to accompany him, so it was normal for him to leave after Illya's death.

But one day after Illya's funeral, they suddenly discovered that there was a bouquet of fresh flowers on the small tomb.

It was still stained with dew, as if it had just been put on.

As if someone just took this bouquet of flowers and whispered to the person in the grave——

"have a good dream."
