In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

This was a glimpse that determined fate.

Sakura Tohsaka was unaware of her exceptional magical talent.

She was completely unaware that her mere curiosity about the scabbard was enough to be converted into magic power through "imaginary numbers."

[And this magic has affected you, who are still asleep.]

At this moment, you have entered into a pact called 'Shadow'.

But Sakura Tohsaka is completely unaware of this—at least for now.

The scabbard flashed?

The little girl blinked.

Little did she know that her life was about to begin at this moment, heading in a completely different direction.

266. Family Secrets, Sakura Tohsaka's Midnight Adventure! (4k)

Sakura Tohsaka was unaware of your presence.

But she did see the scabbard flash.

This piqued her curiosity.

It did indeed light up.

Sakura Tohsaka rubbed her eyes and found that the Excalibur Gallatin had returned to normal.

"Eh—?!" The little girl opened her mouth slightly, revealing a confused look in her eyes.

Tokiomi Tohsaka naturally wouldn't ignore his daughter's unusual reaction.

He crouched down and began to talk to her with a worried expression:

"Sakura, what's wrong?"

"..."

Without much hesitation, Sakura Tohsaka extended her little finger and pointed to the scabbard lying quietly in the box on the table.

"Dad~"

"It just glowed!"

Upon hearing his daughter's description, Tokiomi Tohsaka realized that something seemed amiss and cautiously began to inquire.

"Sakura... what kind of light is it? Tell Daddy in more detail."

"White, yellow, or something else?"

Sakura Tohsaka scratched her face, trying hard to recall the scene that had just happened, but found that she couldn't remember it no matter what she did.

Seeing her like this, Tokiomi Tohsaka realized that this might just be a misunderstanding.

However, he did not scold his daughter. Instead, he reached out and touched Sakura Tohsaka's soft hair.

"It seems you've forgotten for the time being, Sakura."

"In that case—"

"Why don't you go to sleep first? Maybe you'll remember when you wake up."

"Mmm~" Sakura Tohsaka nodded obediently.

"I see!"

Sakura Tohsaka rarely objected to her father's arrangements.

Moreover, she genuinely couldn't recall what it looked like when the sword sheath glowed.

She decided to go to sleep first, as her father had suggested—maybe she would remember when she woke up.

She returned to her room.

[And her mother, Zenjou Aoi, was already there waiting for her with a storybook.]

[This is Sakura Tohsaka's favorite bedtime story time.]

She will hear many interesting things during this time.

"This is the story of King Arthur."

Zenjou Aoi closed the book resting on her lap, then looked at her daughter and asked softly:

"Sakura, do you like it?"

"Like it~"

Sakura Tohsaka first smiled and nodded, but then quickly looked confused.

Zenshiro Aoi, who dotes on her daughter, naturally wouldn't notice this contrast between before and after.

She brushed aside the stray hairs from Sakura Tohsaka's forehead and asked gently:

"Sakura."

"You seem...confused about something? Can you tell Mom?"

"King Arthur...why did she abdicate the throne at that time and give it to her sister?"

"Didn't she do a very good job?"

"..."

Zenjou Aoi's expression turned somewhat awkward for a moment, as if she had thought of some real-world situation.

She completely hid these feelings inside and continued to explain the reason to Sakura Tohsaka.

"Because King Arthur knew that his sister could do better."

"That's why she was so brave to choose to give up the throne."

"Sakura, you should take her as your role model and be brave too."

"Eh--?"

Sakura Tohsaka's cheeks flushed slightly.

"I understand! I will try my best!"

"Mm." Zenjou Aoi smiled slightly. "Then get some rest."

"Good~"

Standing at the door, Zenshiro Aoi took one last look at her daughter and gently turned off the light for her.

After turning away, she was plunged into endless sorrow.

Based on past experience, Sakura Tohsaka should fall asleep quickly while lying in bed.

But today's situation seems a little different.

She found herself unable to sleep.

"Why can't I sleep..."

Little Sakura Tohsaka clung tightly to the blanket covering her.

She puffed out her cheeks and shouted as if chanting a spell: "Sleep—! Sleep—! I want to sleep—!"

However, the harder Sakura Tohsaka shouted, the less she found herself able to sleep.

Finally, as a last resort, the little girl had no choice but to use the most traditional method.

That's counting sheep!

She closed her eyes and began to imagine herself as a shepherd.

"One sheep... two sheep... three sheep... four sheep... a sheep that glows... a sword sheath that glows..."

"Eh?!"

Sakura Tohsaka, who had been counting strange things, opened her eyes.

She suddenly realized why she couldn't sleep—it was actually because of the sword sheath from earlier.

The little girl realized she cared about it far too much.

But... that won't work!

If I get up at this time, it will definitely make my parents unhappy.

You absolutely cannot do that.

That would make you a bad child.

With that thought in mind, Sakura Tohsaka buried herself in the covers, trying to fall into a deep sleep.

Sakura Tohsaka loves her parents very much.

She didn't want them to be angry because of her, so she chose this way of avoiding her true feelings.

This is a very effective method under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, it's completely useless.

The more Sakura Tohsaka tried to forget the scabbard of Excalibur Gallatin, the more vividly she remembered it.

She could even visualize what it roughly looked like in her mind.

In the end, she even heard some kind of sound.

"How about we meet up?"

A clear and gentle question blossomed in Sakura Tohsaka's ears, startling her so much that she curled up into a ball wrapped in the blanket.

After a long while, the little girl poked half her head out from under the covers and called out to the outside.

Who are you?!

However, there was no response.
