"May I call you 'Mr. Ghost'?"

"Uh...maybe, sure." The voice from the scabbard was full of doubt. "But could you tell me why you want to call me that?"

"Because I can't touch you~" Sakura Tohsaka laughed foolishly, "It feels just like the ghosts described in books!"

"..."

[Just this one sentence has made you overturn your previous conclusion.]

Sakura Tohsaka doesn't equate you with the scabbard—in her eyes, you are separate entities.

You realize that she seems to possess some outstanding potential that you haven't yet discovered.

That might be the key to solving the problem.

This makes you feel that there is still a possibility of figuring everything out.

You granted her polite request.

“Okay, no problem, you can call me ‘Mr. Ghost’.”

"Okay~"

Sakura Tohsaka clasped her hands together, tilted her head slightly, and looked quite happy.

“Mr. Ghost, there’s actually something else I want to tell you.”

"Oh... what is it?"

"that is--"

Sakura Tohsaka looked at the ancient scabbard lying in the box and whispered her thoughts.

"I feel like I have a way to get you out of here."

"Ah, get it out of here?!" Mr. Ghost's voice was full of doubt. "Where to?"

“…Here I am.” Sakura Tohsaka replied cautiously.

"What did you say?!"

268. Sakura Tohsaka's Ghost (4k)

Sakura Tohsaka noticed your slightly agitated reaction.

She thought she had said something she shouldn't have—like telling you to get out of your scabbard.

She began to apologize hastily.

“Mr. Ghost, I’m sorry!” Sakura Tohsaka became nervous. “I didn’t know you didn’t like coming out of here.”

"I'm really sorry!"

Please pretend I never said that!

You realize that Sakura Tohsaka seems to have misunderstood something.

You don't want her to understand things in this wrong way.

You intend to explain the situation clearly.

“Sakura, that’s not what I meant,” the voice from the scabbard replied. “I’m not blaming you.”

"I only want to know one thing—how do you plan to transfer me from here to you?"

"Eh?"

Sakura Tohsaka was delighted to find that Mr. Ghost didn't seem to want to blame her.

She responded to the question quickly.

"If Mr. Ghost agrees, it should be fine~"

"..."

You were once again shocked by Sakura Tohsaka's statement.

You are certain that she possesses some extraordinary talent that allows her to simplify complex matters.

[You also considered another possibility—perhaps this is the contract called 'Shadow' taking effect.]

But you don't know if doing so will have any irreversible consequences.

“Um…” Sakura Tohsaka spoke up again.

This time, however, her voice was much softer.

"Mr. Ghost, you still don't want to come out?"

"Hmm... then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"That's not true." The voice from the scabbard quickly refuted the little girl's statement.

"I don't want to stay here."

"so--"

"If you can do it, please help me."

Although I really don't know what the consequences will be after doing this.

But you know, compared to the current situation, new places are definitely more worth trying.

Furthermore, Sakura Tohsaka is very willing to communicate with you.

You feel the situation isn't as bad as you think.

“Okay~” Sakura Tohsaka nodded very cutely.

"That--"

"I'll help you right now!"

After saying that, Sakura Tohsaka once again reached out her small hand towards the scabbard lying in the box in front of her.

Compared to her previous idea of ​​reaching out to feel the temperature of the sword sheath, the little girl has a new goal this time.

That is to rescue Mr. Ghost, who is "trapped" in the sword sheath!

As Sakura Tohsaka thought this, her body began to emit some indescribable substance.

If her parents saw this, they would probably be quite surprised.

You have no idea what Sakura Tohsaka is doing.

But you feel your consciousness being constantly pulled by something.

You find yourself leaving the scabbard of the Excalibur Galatine.

You can feel the distance between yourself and Sakura Tohsaka constantly shrinking.

"Mr. Ghost, are you still there?"

Looking at the scabbard in front of her, Sakura Tohsaka asked with a worried expression.

The little girl wasn't worried for no reason.

Just now, she noticed that the scabbard had lost its usual warmth—it seemed that something had actually come out of it.

Could it be that they lost Mr. Ghost?!

Sakura Tohsaka was a little scared.

Fortunately, Mr. Ghost's answer came quickly.

"I'm still here."

"Huh?" Sakura Tohsaka sensed that the location of the voice had changed.

She began searching the room, but naturally found nothing.

"Mr. Ghost, where are you?!" The little girl's hands trembled slightly. "I can't find you."

"...I'm behind you."

You did not lie.

You have indeed come up behind Sakura Tohsaka.

This is a completely different perspective from when the sword is in its sheath.

She kept her promise.

"what?"

Sakura Tohsaka slightly opened her mouth.

It was clear that she was extremely surprised that the voice from the sword sheath could reach behind her.

but--

She was still very happy.

Because this at least proves that one's intuition was correct.

"Well, Mr. Ghost," the little girl asked cautiously, "are you feeling alright?"

"Yes, it's fine," came Mr. Ghost's reply quickly.

"But Sakura, could you walk a few more steps so I can feel it?"

"Of course~"

After readily agreeing to Mr. Ghost's request, Sakura Tohsaka jumped off the chair.

Following the voice's instructions, she began to walk around the study.

This is a good idea.

As Sakura Tohsaka moved around, you quickly confirmed a few things.

First of all, your perspective seems to be somewhat tied to hers.

You cannot separate yourself from her to observe her alone.

However, this doesn't mean you can only see what she sees—to a certain extent, you can still decide what you see.
