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

"The Clock Tower is the highest institution for the study of magic, and the central hub of the Magic Association. You could even say that it is the Magic Association itself."

“Top magicians from all over the world gather there to exchange ideas and study magic together.”

"in other words--"

"If I can get into the clock tower, I won't have to worry about not being able to learn magic."

Luvia's explanation helped Sakura Tohsaka understand.

My sworn sister is planning to go to a really amazing place!

"Wow~" the little girl exclaimed in surprise.

"That sounds amazing! So this is what a clock tower is like?!"

"What kind of life do you usually lead?" Luvia looked at Sakura Tohsaka with a hint of doubt. "How could you not even know about the Clock Tower?"

Has magic education in Japan fallen so far behind?

"I don't know," Sakura Tohsaka said, scratching her face sheepishly. "I guess I'm just not very bright, that's why I didn't remember it."

"No, you're not stupid."

Luvia vehemently denied Sakura Tohsaka's words.

"Or to put it another way, the Edfeldt family never raises idiots, you know?"

"..."

Knowing that Luvia truly considered her family, Sakura Tohsaka felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Then, she nodded very seriously.

"I see!"

"but--"

"Sister Luvia, what are we going there to do?"

Realizing that Sakura Tohsaka wasn't pretending to be confused—she genuinely didn't know what to do—Luvia stopped beating around the bush and directly revealed her true thoughts.

"Listen, we're going for a preview tour."

"A preview tour?"

"Hmm." Luvia crossed her arms and spoke in the calmest of words about something quite shocking.

"We will definitely study at the Clock Tower in the future."

"so--"

"Let's take advantage of the free time now and visit it in advance, so that we won't be so flustered when classes actually start later."

Sakura Tohsaka was taken aback at first, and then suddenly realized something.

"Us?" The little girl pointed to herself. "Sister Luvia, can I go to the Clock Tower to study too?"

What do you mean by that?

Luvia tapped Sakura Tohsaka on the head.

"Do you think the Edfeldt family can't afford to support you?"

"No, that's not true." Sakura Tohsaka covered her head. "I just didn't think I was qualified to go."

"nonsense!"

Luvia angrily "scolded" Sakura Tohsaka.

"You're a member of the Edelfelt family now!"

"If I go and you don't, do you want the Edfeldt family to be laughed at by outsiders?"

"No! I didn't have that thought!"

"That settles it!" Luvia glared at Sakura Tohsaka. "You're willing to go, and we can afford it, so what's the problem?"

"Hey, this..."

Seeing that Luvia had once again completed the logical loop, Sakura Tohsaka stopped worrying about it.

She knew her adopted sister's personality—she spoke in the harshest tone, yet said things that were most considerate of the other person.

"I understand, thank you, Sister Luvia."

"That's more like it." Luvia was quite satisfied with Sakura Tohsaka's obedient manner.

"Hurry up and pack your things, we're leaving tomorrow."

"learn!"

Sakura Tohsaka placed a very high priority on heading to the Clock Tower.

She happily packed her things.

[And throughout this process, she didn't forget to share this joy with you.]

"Mr. Ghost!"

Sakura Tohsaka put her favorite rabbit doll in her suitcase.

"We're going to the Clock Tower!"

“I know,” came the Ghost’s reply quickly.

"Sakura, don't forget... I've always been by your side."

"Hehehe, that's true~" Sakura Tohsaka grinned foolishly.

This is a state she only displays in front of people she is extremely close to.

"But I'm really happy!"

Sakura Tohsaka looked up at the empty space.

"Mr. Ghost, Sister Luvia, you really treat me like family!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ghost smiled.

"Isn't this nice?"

"Isn't this what you've always wanted to do, Sakura?"

Although you don't actively chat with Sakura Tohsaka, that doesn't mean you haven't been observing her life.

On the contrary, you were actually paying attention to her all the time, you just didn't say anything.

This also helps you realize why Tokiomi Tohsaka's two seemingly similar actions yielded drastically different results.

Ultimately, it all stems from the adoptive family's attitude towards Sakura Tohsaka.

The Matou family maintained an indifferent attitude throughout, making it a purely transactional exchange of interests.

[While the Edelfelt family was initially somewhat arrogant, they eventually came to value Sakura Tohsaka quite a bit because of Luvia.]

Therefore, a different outcome is almost inevitable.

"Yeah~"

A happy smile bloomed on Sakura Tohsaka's face, but she quickly lowered her head as if she had thought of something sad.

"but--"

"There's something I forgot to tell Sister Luvia today."

"what's up?"

"that is……"

Sakura Tohsaka looked at her empty surroundings, her eyes filled with unspoken concern.

"I forgot to ask Sister Luvia if you ever appear, could you go to the Clock Tower too?"

"..."

You never expected Sakura Tohsaka to be thinking about something like this.

You thought what she had forgotten was something more important, but unexpectedly, her thoughts have now turned precisely towards you.

You were somewhat moved.

But you didn't want her to feel endless guilt because of this.

"That--"

"Sakura might be looking down on me a little."

"Huh?" Mr. Ghost's words immediately made Sakura Tohsaka tense up. "I didn't mean that!"

"I really regret not telling Sister Luvia."

"But Sakura, have you ever thought... that I might not need you to worry about me so much?"

Mr. Ghost's voice remained gentle.

"Don't forget that."

"I...maybe I am a human being just like you. If I ever do appear in this world, I'm sure I'll be able to find my own way of life."

"Or--"

"Sakura, you don't want to believe I have this ability?"

"No way!" the little girl quickly denied. "I've always believed in Mr. Ghost!"

"Isn't that enough?" Mr. Ghost continued. "Since you believe I have this ability, there's no need to be upset about not saying it, is there?"

Mr. Ghost's advice was as useful as ever, and Sakura Tohsaka quickly understood.

"Mr. Ghost, I understand!"

"That's good."

"That's right—! Mr. Ghost!"

"what happened?"

"Never mind...it's nothing."
