Type-Moon, is this really not the Reverse Side of the World?

Lin Jiuan turned his head. He was momentarily stunned by the red-haired woman, whose gentle expression seemed to radiate a maternal glow. Sola-Ui?

Without time to ponder the meaning of her motherly tenderness, Lin Jiuan didn't care about anything else right now. He just wanted a good meal. "I'm hungry."

Sola-Ui had only wanted to get out of the hotel, to get away from her fiancé and Lancer. She felt that something was increasingly wrong with her lately. She had been betrothed to Kayneth by her father. Although he was talented and of noble birth, now chosen by the El-Melloi faction to inherit their Magic Crest and become a Lord of the Clock Tower's Department of Mineralogy—a man who, at a young age, was already at the pinnacle of the magus world with limitless potential—and he was deeply in love with her... Sola-Ui just didn't like him.

Before, she could barely tolerate him. As the daughter of a Lord, but not the direct heir, she had been raised as a tool for a future political marriage. An engagement to a stranger was something she had long expected. But since coming to Fuyuki and since he had summoned Lancer, this feeling of discomfort had grown stronger. So she had decided to take a walk during the daytime truce to clear her head.

But as she walked, she saw this adorable little boy with white hair and red eyes standing by a restaurant, staring wistfully through the window at the food inside. Seeing his pitiful, hungry expression and hearing his incredibly pleasant, boyish voice, Sola-Ui felt her heart melt.

"Then, how about big sister treats you to a meal?"

A short while later, in the restaurant.

Sola-Ui sat across from Lin Jiuan, her elbows on the table, her face cupped in her hands, watching him devour his food. To be honest, his table manners were not elegant at all; he ate like a starving ghost reincarnated. In old London, he would have certainly been looked down upon by the stuffy nobles as a low-class, upstart commoner. But his little face was just too cute, especially the tuft of white hair on top of his head that swayed with his movements, drawing one's gaze. Sola-Ui felt that just watching him eat was a kind of enjoyment. The tumultuous emotions born from Kayneth and Diarmuid even disappeared, purified by this adorable little boy.

"Eat slowly. There's more if you're not full."

"Mmph." Lin Jiuan's mouth was full of food. He mumbled a reply and continued to eat voraciously. Suddenly, the human organs he was simulating were a little too realistic. He ate too fast and began to choke, a pained expression on his face. Sola-Ui quickly handed him the glass of coke with lemon and ice she had ordered for him. Lin Jiuan took it and gulped it down, not stopping until half the glass was gone. He put it down, a look of lingering fear on his face. "Whew, I almost died."

"I told you to eat slowly." Sola-Ui finally relaxed and, feigning annoyance, pinched his small cheek. Ooh, I finally got to touch it! So soft and smooth!

"You have to eat slowly, got it?"

Since she was the one buying him food, Lin Jiuan obediently nodded. Sola-Ui, however, found that even though she should let go, she couldn't bear to. "Do you want big sister to feed you?"

Lin Jiuan paused, tilting his head to look at her. He had clearly underestimated the lethality of his current appearance. Even a simple, questioning gesture was so cute it made Sola-Ui's breath catch, her eyes shining. Then, without his consent, she moved over and picked him up. The next thing he knew, he was sitting in her lap.

Feeling the soft thighs beneath him and the perfectly positioned soft backrest behind him, Lin Jiuan hesitated for a moment before leaning back against her. If I were an eighteen-year-old boy, I would definitely tell Sola-Ui the correct position for a man and a woman. But I'm only eight right now. Hehe.

Now that his craving for mana had subsided a bit from eating, Lin Jiuan let Sola-Ui feed him bite by bite. Sola-Ui held his waist with one arm and fed him various foods with the other, occasionally wiping crumbs from the corner of his mouth with her finger. Feeling the indescribably alluring scent from his body, she held him tighter and tighter.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully caused 'Sola-Ui' to enter the 'Initial Fallen' state. Reward acquired: 'Magic Attribute: Water'.]

Ignoring the system prompt, Lin Jiuan calmly ate the food Sola-Ui brought to his mouth. He was used to these women inexplicably 'falling' by now. Sometimes, he really wondered if he was Merlin's son, carrying some kind of incubus bloodline. Fall, go ahead and fall. The more the merrier.

Sola-Ui felt herself growing fonder and fonder of this child. She didn't want to let him leave her embrace. She couldn't help but ask, "Where are your parents? Did you have a fight with them?"

Lin Jiuan, his mouth full, shook his head.

Sola-Ui's eyes brightened. She asked tentatively, "Are you all alone?"

Lin Jiuan nodded.

Sola-Ui wrapped both arms around his waist, as if trying to merge him into her body. Her excited expression was such that if not for her stunningly beautiful and cold appearance and expensive clothes, the restaurant staff would have called the police on her for being a weird lady kidnapping a cute little boy.

"Then come home with big sister, okay? I'll raise you!"

Kayneth was in a very bad mood. Exceptionally talented, the direct heir of a prestigious family, success had always seemed a matter of course for him. Until he met Sola-Ui. Kayneth was deeply in love with her, but Sola-Ui was cold and distant, clearly not fond of him. Kayneth had hoped to use this 'trip' to improve their relationship and prove his strength to her by soundly thrashing these country magi in their little Grail game.

Unfortunately, things hadn't gone as planned. Sola-Ui's mood seemed to be getting worse lately. Just now, she had even refused his offer to accompany her on a walk, choosing to go out alone.

Just then, the hotel room door opened. Is that Sola-Ui, back already? Kayneth forced his most gentle smile and looked toward the door, his voice so soft it would have made his students in the Department of Mineralogy—who knew him as a notoriously strict and sharp-tongued teacher—suspect he had been possessed.

"Sola-Ui, you're back—"

His words trailed off, the smile freezing on his face. There, in the arms of his beloved fiancée, the famous ice beauty of the Clock Tower, was an impossibly perfect little boy with red lips, white teeth, white hair, and red eyes.

Kayneth considered himself quite handsome. Even among the pure-blooded nobles of the Clock Tower, whose appearances had been optimized over hundreds or thousands of years, he was on par with the best of them. But looking at this little boy, Kayneth felt a deep sense of inadequacy. This boy's appearance... even the world's most critical commentator, looking through a magnifying glass, could only say one word: 'Perfect'.

And his own fiancée, this famous ice queen of London society, was showing a tenderness and doting affection he had never seen before, all directed at the little boy in her arms.

Kayneth: "?!"
