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

Sakura Tohsaka thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head.

"that……"

“Sister Vivian, I saw some books with strange writing on them at my father’s place before.”

"Does that... count as having read books related to magic?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Vivian seemed to have some ideas.

She started rummaging through the bookshelf, finally taking out a book, opening it to a certain page, and placing it in front of Sakura Tohsaka.

Is this the kind of book?

The little girl looked at it intently for a while, then shook her head.

"Not this kind."

"But—it looks a tiny bit like it!"

"A tiny bit similar, isn't it?" Vivian nodded thoughtfully.

Her expression remained confident, showing that she had everything under control.

"That--"

Vivian's gaze wandered across the bookshelf once more, finally settling on a particular book.

She took it down, then turned to another page and placed it in front of Sakura Tohsaka.

"What about this one?"

"..."

Memories of her past in her own family mansion flooded Sakura Tohsaka's mind.

Among them were the books in the father's study.

It's exactly the same!

"Wow—!" Sakura Tohsaka pointed to the book in front of her with her little finger, looking very excited.

"Very similar!"

"Dad's book looks a lot like this!"

"..."

Vivian seemed to have made some kind of judgment after hearing these words.

She began to mutter softly.

"A magic trick from over a hundred years ago?"

"How could you show such a thing to a child?"

"However... it's not anything particularly powerful."

Sakura Tohsaka noticed Vivian's rambling.

She was a little worried that she might have offended the teacher with her "stupidity," so she asked him in a low voice.

"that……"

"Ms. Vivian, shouldn't I be able to understand it?"

Realizing that her words had worried Sakura Tohsaka, Vivian quickly smiled and shook her head.

No, that's not true.

"It's perfectly normal for someone your age not to understand what's on the screen."

"After all, if you could understand it... you'd probably be just as good as that guy named Orange from before."

"but--"

Vivian's gaze fell on the book in Sakura Tohsaka's hand.

"I still want to know, roughly how much do you know about it?"

"Or to put it another way, how much of it have you understood?"

"Whether it's this book or the one from before, I can talk about them."

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka thought for a while, then shook her head again.

“Um, Ms. Vivian, I don’t understand them at all.”

"but--"

“I memorized a lot of it.”

"You memorized so many?" Vivian's eyes showed a rare hint of surprise.

"Yes!" Sakura Tohsaka looked at her teacher with a serious expression.

"Because I didn't understand it very well, but I really wanted to know more about my dad, I could only write it down."

"..."

Vivian's lips curled up slightly.

That was the prelude to approval.

"very good."

"If you have this thought, it means that you really want to learn magic."

"So--"

"Since you've already memorized a lot, let's skip the memorization part and let me explain them to you one by one."

"Eh--?!"

Sakura Tohsaka's cheeks flushed slightly.

That's how she behaves when she's happy.

"Thank you, Teacher Vivian~"

[In the time that followed, Vivian patiently began explaining the contents of the book to her student, Sakura Tohsaka.]

She was unaware of your presence.

[You thus became another hidden "student".]

But you soon realize that something is not quite right.

[You were able to understand most of what Vivian mentioned.]

You were surprised, but also relieved.

[After all, you know that if you can understand her, you can gently remind Sakura Tohsaka when she's confused in the future.]

However, what you feared didn't happen.

Although Sakura Tohsaka always felt she was stupid, she wasn't actually foolish; she simply lacked someone to teach her.

Vivian's appearance now perfectly fills this void.

"Are we going to make contact with the 'Source'?"

Sakura Tohsaka, recalling Vivian's explanation, thoughtfully repeated it.

"Yes."

Vivian looked at the books in the room, as if she had already seen through everything.

"As long as you can access and use the 'source,' you can perform all sorts of magic tricks."

"To date, all magic teaching books of any form, at any time, and to any degree have merely expanded upon this foundation."

"That's why the Clock Tower has two versions of the instruction manual—they're essentially the same, just one is simple and the other is complex."

"Sakura, do you understand what I'm saying?"

“I think I understand now.” Sakura Tohsaka nodded. “Then, Vivian-sensei, how can we get in touch with the ‘Source’?”

“Rely on yourself,” Vivian replied.

"Everyone's path to the 'Source' is different, and the feedback they receive from the 'Source' is also different."

"This is why there are so many kinds of magic circuits."

"so--"

“Sakura, if you want to use magic, you must find your own way to access the ‘source’.”

At this point, Vivian reached out again and gently tapped Sakura Tohsaka's forehead, as if applying some kind of special spell to her.

"All right."

"Start trying now...find a way that suits you to access the 'source'."

With absolute trust in her teacher, Sakura Tohsaka closed her eyes and began to vaguely search for a way to contact the "source".

This is a very abstract and difficult-to-understand process.

The little girl was a bit confused.

But the good thing is——

Mr. Ghost was by her side.

With his encouragement, Sakura Tohsaka gradually broke free from her "closed" state and began to move towards "existence".

The little girl's magic circuits, which were not yet fully activated, began to flow for the first time at this moment.

For Sakura Tohsaka, it was like tasting a sweet treat.
