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

Sakura Tohsaka waited for quite some time before carefully crawling out of bed after confirming it was safe.

She began to have doubts.

Did you hear it wrong?

No.

It's unlikely that I misheard.

After all, it's very clear.

And the voice didn't sound like some scary ghost... more like a friendly stranger.

or--

Let's go take another look at that scabbard?

Once an idea is planted in your mind, it will quickly take root, sprout, and grow into a tree called action.

Sakura Tohsaka increasingly longed to return to the study where the scabbard of the Excalibur Gallatin was kept.

This idea is gaining momentum.

Finally, the little girl, unable to control herself any longer, took action.

Brush and pull.

Sakura Tohsaka opened the bedside table drawer and took out a cute little flashlight.

There's a little rabbit on it; she added it herself.

Wearing her pajamas, she grasped the glowing object as if it were a symbol of her confidence.

With a click, the flashlight was switched on.

A small white halo appeared on the ground.

Sakura Tohsaka thus embarked on her nighttime journey.

[Sakura Tohsaka's sleeping area is some distance from her study.]

[But there's a major challenge hidden within this—passing through the room where your parents are.]

This is a challenge that cannot be avoided no matter what.

Sakura Tohsaka was very worried about this.

in the corridor.

Holding the rabbit-shaped flashlight, Sakura Tohsaka shivered as she looked at the pale yellow light shining from the door that her parents hadn't fully closed.

This was the first time she had gone against her parents' wishes, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

but--

The little girl really wanted to see the scabbard again.

So even though she knew it was wrong, she felt she had to try it.

Besides, in the end, all I was doing was trying to get myself to "sleep."

After glancing at the sword sheath, I'll slip back into the room without anyone noticing, and that way they won't be angry!

Having successfully convinced herself, Sakura Tohsaka took a deep breath.

She composed herself, then turned off the flashlight, held her breath, and tiptoed forward.

She planned to simply pass by her parents' room and then complete her encounter with the sword sheath.

but--

Just as Sakura Tohsaka walked near the light, she heard a sob.

That was... the sound of my mother crying?

This was the first time the little girl had ever heard such a sound.

Even though just one more step forward would allow you to cross the most "dangerous" part of this late-night journey.

But Sakura Tohsaka stopped—she simply couldn't ignore her mother's crying.

Grabbing the edge of the door, Sakura Tohsaka peeked out with half her head showing.

She began to peek inside through the thin, thread-like crack in the door.

This is a scene that Sakura Tohsaka has never seen before.

Her mother, who had recently been gently telling her the legend of King Arthur, was now weeping in her father's arms.

It was a truly tragic scene.

Even a child as young as Sakura Tohsaka could feel the boundless sadness within it.

She wanted to find out what was going on.

Zenjou Aoi's voice came from inside the room; it was a sob-like outpouring.

This usually elegant mother appeared utterly helpless at this moment.

"Tokiomi...do we really have to send Sakura away? Is there no other way?"

"Ugh."

Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed.

As a magician, he knew he shouldn't be sad about these things.

But at this moment, looking at his wife crying her eyes out, the man realized that he wasn't as resolute as he had imagined.

He was equally reluctant to part with his incredibly obedient daughter and did not want her to leave his side at all.

What's even more disheartening is that this seems to be the only way he can solve the problem at this moment.

"Aoi, I'm sorry."

Tokiomi Tohsaka hugged his wife, his words full of apology.

"It's because I'm too incompetent."

"I really can't think of a second way to protect both Rin and Sakura at the same time."

The Tohsaka family's blessing can only be given to one person.

A choice must be made between Rin and Sakura.

From a pragmatic perspective, it would be more appropriate for the older Rin to stay with the Tohsaka family.

As for Sakura, this compromise was the only way to protect him.

Knowing that her husband had done everything he could, Zenjo Aoi didn't say another word, but just kept wiping away her tears.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, the Tohsaka couple were completely unaware that their daughter, Tohsaka Sakura, had overheard their conversation.

After all, in their hearts, Sakura Tohsaka has always been a sensible and good child, and naturally would never do something like eavesdropping.

But it is precisely this trust that has led to the current situation.

Sakura Tohsaka realizes she seems to know something incredible.

"Am I going to be sent away?"

Upon learning this, Sakura Tohsaka felt a sharp pang in her heart.

She knows that her parents love her very much.

But if that's the case, then why send yourself away?

And... who is that person named Xiaolin?

Why doesn't she have to be sent away?

Despite having many doubts and questions in her heart, Sakura Tohsaka did not immediately question her parents.

She felt that was extremely impolite.

Besides——

The little girl glanced at the rabbit flashlight that had been turned off.

I sneaked out here... If they find out, they'll definitely be furious!

Let's hurry to the study first!

Sakura Tohsaka took one last look at her parents in the room before leaving quietly.

This was a much smoother night than I had imagined.

Sakura Tohsaka, carrying her rabbit-shaped flashlight, quickly arrived at the door of the study.

This process went unnoticed by anyone.

Wow——

The heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open by Rin Tohsaka, making a dull thud.

The study was pitch black.

But the little girl definitely wouldn't dare turn on the lights—because that might attract her parents.

There aren't many options.

Sakura Tohsaka could only use the light from her small flashlight to begin searching for the scabbard of the Excalibur Gallatin in the huge study.

Fortunately, she remembered where her father had taken the box from.

Rin Tohsaka moved a chair over, bit a small flashlight, and then began searching the bookshelf, following her memory.

And the situation was pretty much as she had imagined—the box was lying quietly on the bookshelf.

Sakura Tohsaka felt her heart beating a few beats faster than usual.

She used all her strength to take the box off and then placed it on the table in the study.

The little girl opened it and immediately saw the scabbard of the Excalibur Gallatin.

However, this time is different.
