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

"If you don't want to stay there, why force yourself to think it's appropriate?"

"But if we do that, Mom and Dad will be very angry." Sakura Tohsaka's voice softened considerably.

"I don't want them to hate me..."

Upon hearing Sakura Tohsaka's words, Mr. Ghost smiled.

"How could I possibly hate you because of something like this?"

"If I really hated you, I wouldn't have brought you back from the Matou family, would I?"

"on the contrary--"

"They actually love you very much."

"You love me very much?" A glimmer of light appeared in Sakura Tohsaka's eyes. "Is it true?"

"of course it's true."

"See... as soon as you said you didn't like being there, they immediately brought you back, didn't they?"

Mr. Ghost calmly explained to Sakura Tohsaka.

"They actually care a lot about your feelings."

"So Sakura, you don't need to worry about them disliking you."

"You are your parents' daughter... No matter how you look at it, they love you."

Sakura Tohsaka, who was initially feeling very guilty, suddenly understood after listening to Mr. Ghost's "guidance".

She began to realize that what she was doing wasn't really a big mistake.

"Mmm~" The little girl hugged the rabbit doll and smiled sweetly, "I understand!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ghost~"

You have successfully helped Sakura Tohsaka resolve her inner conflict.

However, the predicament faced by Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Zenjou was not resolved.

Or rather—they were driven to a dead end.

Inside another room of the Tohsaka mansion.

Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Zenjou were sitting on the edge of the bed, both looking quite sad.

Just now, they lost a chance to save their daughter's life.

"I'm sorry, Tokiomi," Zenjou Aoi said apologetically.

"I'm so excited."

"That's not true," Tokiomi Tohsaka reassured his wife.

"Aoi, you did the right thing."

“I understand now… Since Sakura doesn’t want to stay there, we really shouldn’t force her.”

"I'll find a way to explain things to the Matou family."

"..."

Sensing that her husband lacked confidence when he said this, Zenjo Aoi sighed.

She took his hand and whispered her own complaints.

"Tokiomi, I wish I were a magician too."

"That way... it can help relieve some of your pressure."

"Don't say things like that." Tokiomi Tohsaka gently stroked Aoi Zenjou's long hair.

"Ideally, I should be the only one in the family who needs to be a magician."

"But--"

Zenshiro Aoi looked up at her husband, her eyes filled with worry.

She was beginning to regret her earlier actions.

"What should Sakura do?"

"If we can't send her to the Matou family, isn't that the same as letting her stay here to die?"

"I won't let that happen."

Tokiomi Tohsaka clenched his fist.

"She is our daughter."

"..."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Zenjou Aoi's eyes.

She knew her husband wouldn't make such a promise lightly—he must have something in mind.

"Tokiomi, have you come up with a plan?"

“Yes.” Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded as if he had made an important decision.

“I… I think we might be able to contact the Edfeldt family.”

271. Luvia, the Golden Drill Heiress / Sakura Tohsaka's Journey to Finland (4k)

This is a possibility that Tokiomi Tohsaka had previously overlooked.

[Sakura Tohsaka doesn't only have the Matou family as a destination—she has other options.]

That means seeking refuge with the Edelfelt family, who live far away overseas.

[These are distant relatives of the Tohsaka family—but for some reason, they stopped communicating during Tokiomi Tohsaka's generation.]

Therefore, when he was thinking about it earlier, Tokiomi Tohsaka subconsciously ignored this possibility.

Looking back now, it might indeed be a hidden third path!

"This……"

Hearing her husband's idea, Zenshiro Aoi's brows first showed a hint of the joy of her daughter being saved, but her expression quickly turned serious.

"Tokiomi".

"If I remember correctly... our family should have cut off contact with them a long time ago, right?"

“...Yes.” Tokiomi Tohsaka did not shy away from the question.

"We haven't been in contact since my grandfather's generation."

"That--"

Zenshiro Aoi looked at the man in front of her, her eyes showing obvious worry.

"Are you still able to contact them?"

“I don’t know,” Tokiomi Tohsaka replied, “but I have to make the contact.”

"Since Sakura doesn't want to go to the Matou family, I have to help her find a new way out."

"Aoi, you said it."

“She is our child, and I have a responsibility to protect her no matter what.”

This promise is enough to show Tokiomi Tohsaka's feelings.

Zenjokui did not continue to question.

She nodded, expressing her full support for her husband's idea.

"I see."

"In that case... I'll go back and ask my people there for help."

"Look upwards, maybe we'll find a solution."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aoi."

"You too, Tokiomi."

[You and Sakura Tohsaka are unaware of the new plan that Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Zenjou are secretly devising.]

[During the time they were searching for a way to contact the Edfeldt family.]

Your relationship with Sakura Tohsaka is becoming increasingly close.

"Mr. Ghost, how was my drawing?!"

Sakura Tohsaka happily displayed her work in an empty space.

“It’s pretty good,” Mr. Ghost quickly replied. “At least it’s better than mine.”

"Eh--?!"

Sakura Tohsaka blinked her surprised eyes.

"Mr. Ghost, so you do have hands after all?"

"What are you talking about? Why wouldn't I have hands?"

"Then—" Sakura Tohsaka's curiosity was piqued, "Is Mr. Ghost actually one of us?"

"..."

I think so.

"Oh—~" Sakura Tohsaka hugged her painting, smiling brightly.

"That's great!"

"Very good?"

"Hmm~"

The little girl responded earnestly to the ghost beside her.

"Because that would mean I'm the same as Mr. Ghost, and maybe we'll have a chance to meet in the future!"
