Baal smiled and nodded. Regarding Kaito's proposal to meet the parents, she had no resistance; on the contrary, she was a little nervous.
As someone with a certain longing for romance, she actually fantasized about this too, especially after being pursued by Kaito, she would occasionally think about some things.
"Master, do you need me to cook for you?"
Knowing that Kaito had spent 10 days in another world, Baal put the clothes away and came inside to ask.
"Hmm, not for now. Also, about the maids, a friend from my chat group will be sending them over soon."
"Huh?"
"They're... homunculi, I guess."
Kaito was currently privately messaging with Irisviel.
Previously, while living on the island, Irisviel had coincidentally brought up Kaito's new house situation.
The house was so big, with no servants to manage it. Hiring from outside was one thing, costing money, but the main issue was whether they could be trusted, especially since he and Baal were already non-human.
There was a high chance of accidentally exposing their abilities and scaring them.
Therefore, Irisviel thoughtfully offered to prepare 10 homunculi for him.
Just like the homunculi Sella and Leysritt who always accompany and protect Illya.
But they wouldn't reach Irisviel's perfect level, of course.
After all, Irisviel, including her daughter Illya, carry the genes of the [Winter Saint] Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, which allowed them to be created.
And they were created in the most special cultivation chambers. Mass-produced homunculi are different.
They are simply cloned humans using a small amount of genetic material.
You could say they are human, they are human, but they are actually cloned humans.
As for Illya's birth, it also had nothing to do with Emiya Kiritsugu.
It was simply that Irisviel wanted to experience the feeling of being a mother, so she used herself as the incubation chamber, and finally gave birth to Illya as an infant.
Under normal cultivation circumstances, they are basically adult forms.
Irisviel was like that, and other homunculi are the same.
Speaking of which, the Fate storyline has some changes.
Or rather, it's about Irisviel's storyline here.
Before she joined the chat group, the head of the Einzbern Family, Jubstacheit von Einzbern, still invited Emiya Kiritsugu according to the original plot.
Only, the two didn't get married; it was an employer-employee relationship.
The Master would still be Irisviel, not Kiritsugu, and Kiritsugu's main task was to eliminate all of Irisviel's enemies.
As for the Holy Grail wish that clan leader Jubstacheit promised him...
Heh, only believe half of what a magus says.
Including Kiritsugu thought the same way, but constrained by the cooperation, due to needing the Einzbern's power, and even more so to obtain the Holy Grail, for now he had to obediently do as told and complete all his preparations.
What would happen after obtaining the Holy Grail was anyone's guess.
Anyway, Irisviel didn't completely trust him either; she just regarded him as a tool person to help her win the Holy Grail War.

Received a gift.
This was Irisviel sending over ten maids from her castle all at once.
Because the gift function had been upgraded, living things could also be sent, but sending living things required additional points.
This way, the chat group also prevented members from exploiting loopholes by sending their daughters to others via gift.
Ten homunculi, one person costs 10 points, ten people cost 100 points.
Kaito proactively paid the fee here, accepted the gift, and simultaneously manifested them all.
Before him stood a row of maids.
They were dressed in maid uniforms just like in the anime, and even their height, figure, appearance, and voice were almost identical.
One might think they were decuplets if they didn't know.
"Alright, I trust Miss Irisviel has explained things to you clearly. From now on, I am your master. This is Baal; you will treat her as your mistress. Work arrangements will also be handled by her. Understood?"
"Yes, Master."
The ten Einzbern homunculi maids nodded, then turned their gaze to Baal, requesting she assign them work.
"Really, calling me mistress..."
Baal blushed beside him, but she only complained a little, then began arranging these people's work.
Some were responsible for cleaning, some for meals, others for assisting with gardening, etc. After their work was done, during their rest, they would also learn the Chinese language and culture, so they could go out to purchase items in the future, etc.
Currently, ten people seemed just right. Plus, they had accumulated a lot of experience in these areas, so they quickly got the hang of it.
The only drawback was probably that they were a bit cold and emotionless.
Whether it was their pupils lacking light, their expressionless faces, including their tone of voice, it was all the same.
They would only be the most loyal subordinates. For Kaito, they would even willingly sacrifice themselves.
Don't forget, they also have a certain level of combat ability, and even know some simple Einzbern-specific Magecraft.
Right now, the entire mansion had a simple barrier established, which could prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering the surrounding area, and at the same time, satellites in the sky would only capture very blurry images.
If the barrier level were a bit higher, you might not even see the mansion's existence at all!
"Master, these maids have incomplete souls. What kind of person sent these homunculi?"
Baal, having finished assigning the work, came over and asked. Kaito roughly explained their identity.
After hearing this, Baal was also interested in this technology.
Although somewhat inhumane, if necessary, they indeed are the best 'sacrifices'.
"Alright, time for me to do some Gacha!"
After thanking Irisviel on his phone and briefly chatting with the others, he temporarily exited the group chat.
Now, it was Gacha time!!
This time, he believed it will be guaranteed pull!
