After much consideration, you've decided to side with Vivian.

You conveyed your opinion to Sakura Tohsaka.

"..."

Listening to the analysis given by Mr. Ghost, Sakura Tohsaka nodded thoughtfully.

"Sister Luvia."

Are you worried that Sister Vivian isn't qualified to teach me?

“Yes!” Luvia had no intention of hiding her thoughts from Sakura Tohsaka.

"Not just anyone is qualified to teach the Edfeldt family!"

"Indeed..."

Sakura Tohsaka turned around and looked at the room where Vivian was behind her.

"However, Sister Luvia."

"I think you should go and check her out... I think Sister Vivian is really amazing!"

"..."

[Your thoughts were relayed to Luvia through Sakura Tohsaka's words—of course, this was actually Sakura Tohsaka's own intention.]

The Finnish young lady was still somewhat unhappy.

But for her sister's sake, she agreed.

"alright."

Luvia nodded.

"Since you've said so, Sakura, I'd like to see who has the ability to make you praise her like this."

"But let's make this clear first."

"If I'm not satisfied, I'll refuse it immediately."

"Yeah~"

After some effort, Luvia and Sakura Tohsaka finally entered Vivian's room.

This should have been a tense meeting—but you felt no pressure at all.

You realize that you seem to subconsciously believe Vivian is capable of doing this.

It's a rather magical experience, but you don't understand why.

And as things unfolded, it didn't surprise you.

Vivian resolved the problem quickly and decisively.

Inside Vivian's office.

The mature older sister was looking at Luvia and Sakura Tohsaka with a pleased expression.

"So you're sworn sisters?"

“However—” Vivian looked at the two little girls holding hands, “you two seem to have a pretty good relationship.”

"I...I'm really envious."

"Don't say that!"

Luvia did not become friendlier because of Vivian's words.

Having just secured a sponsorship, she didn't have a good impression of the clock tower staff.

"If you think you're capable of teaching Sakura—"

"Then provide convincing evidence!"

"..."

Vivian frowned slightly—she didn't seem to like Luvia's tone.

But seeing the expectant look in Sakura Tohsaka's eyes, this mature older sister suppressed her already barely perceptible displeasure.

"really."

"If there's no proof, it'll seem like you're a fraudster."

"In that case——"

“Luvia,” Vivian said, looking at the drill-wielding young lady before her, “Give me your hand.”

"..."

Although she didn't know what Vivian wanted to do, since the other party was there to prove that she was capable of teaching Sakura, Luvia wouldn't refuse to give her face.

As instructed, she extended her hand.

—Touch—

--release--

The process took less than three seconds.

A barely perceptible blue light flashed in Vivian's eyes.

Then, she recounted the results as if reporting a checklist.

"Your specialty is magic that uses gemstones as a medium—of course, other similar things can also serve the same purpose."

"The quality and quantity of your magic circuits are above average, but they are still quite far from being outstanding."

"but--"

Vivian looked at Sakura Tohsaka beside her.

"If I could perform magic tricks with my close female friends, I might be able to make further progress in a short period of time."

"Miss Luvia."

What I'm talking about—

"Are they all correct?"

Sakura Tohsaka didn't quite understand what Vivian was saying, but she thought her analysis was very insightful.

The adorable little girl looked at her stepsister, trying to get an answer from her expression.

And Sakura Tohsaka did indeed get it.

Luvia stared in disbelief at Vivian, who had only touched her hand for less than three seconds, and began to stammer.

How did you know all of this?

"Have you...have you seen my file?"

“I have no interest in that,” Vivian sneered. “Besides, isn’t this your first day here?”

"I have never seen you before."

"So--"

"You should also know that I couldn't possibly have access to your information beforehand."

"..."

Luvia did not refute Vivian's words.

Because she knew that this trip was indeed kept extremely secret—after all, she and Sakura Tohsaka were, after all, the top heirs of their families.

The necessary security measures should still be in place.

“Okay.” Luvia wasn’t going to be stubborn and save face.

"Vivian, you are really amazing."

"I apologize for my previous recklessness."

"It's alright." Vivian didn't pursue the matter any further.

"As long as you understand that I am absolutely qualified to teach Sakura Tohsaka."

"That--"

Luvia's throat moved slightly.

"Can I join in?"

"Don't worry, the Edfeldt family will pay you double the corresponding reward."

"No."

Vivian refused without hesitation, her gaze falling on Sakura Tohsaka.

"I'm only interested in her."

"..."

Luvia's expression turned somewhat awkward—she realized that although Vivian hadn't expressed her anger, she was actually quite angry.

Faced with this situation, Sakura Tohsaka hesitated for a moment before speaking softly:

"In that case, I think I'd better not learn it."

The little girl looked at Luvia beside her and forced a smile.

"I'm not actually that interested~"

"..."

Luvia's emotional intelligence is not low.

She quickly realized that her stepsister was afraid of upsetting her.

After all, Vivian specifically named Sakura Tohsaka, which was tantamount to denying her own sister's existence.

But as Edelfelt's future (or rather, present) heir, she is not so narrow-minded.

Especially for her adopted sister, Sakura Tohsaka—her becoming stronger is not a bad thing for her at all.

"No, you have to learn!"
