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

Her body began to "produce" an indescribable substance.

That was something called "magic".

A hint of blue light flashed in Vivian's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Because she knew that the teachings and spells she had just received had worked—Sakura Tohsaka was close to finding her own way to access the "Source".

And judging from her current state, she may become a top modern magician after further study.

With a little more effort, perhaps I can inherit some ancient magic.

but--

That's all there is to it.

Vivian wasn't surprised—she was simply happy for her student.

For her, this was just "third-rate".

No.

It shouldn't even be considered "third-rate"; it's only worth glancing at.

After all, her real name wasn't Vivian, but Morgan, the former new king of Britain.

Having lived since then, she has witnessed countless magicians far more powerful than this one.

The creation of the clock tower is inextricably linked to it.

but……

None of this could get him to where he was.

The man she never had a chance to tell her he loved her seemed like someone she would never see again.

Thinking of this, Vivian couldn't help but feel secretly saddened.

At that moment, Sakura Tohsaka fully activated her magic circuits.

Something unexpected happened.

For some reason, the magical power released by Sakura Tohsaka gathered around her.

A familiar, blurry figure was reflected in Vivian's beautiful eyes.

That is--

Ian, whom I've been thinking about day and night?

277. Morgan's constant longing for him / His sister's worries / The witch's terrible thoughts (4k)

Vivian never expected this.

As Sakura Tohsaka was able to activate her magic circuits, she unexpectedly saw his figure.

That man who disappeared completely more than a thousand years ago.

At this moment, he was squatting beside Sakura Tohsaka, whispering something to the little girl, looking quite gentle.

Vivian felt an overwhelming surge of jealousy within her.

But at the same time, she found herself to be so happy.

after all--

This was the first time in a thousand years that she had seen him outside of her dreams.

[Neither you nor Sakura Tohsaka were aware of this situation.]

[You were unaware that your true form was briefly revealed because Sakura Tohsaka's magical circuits were activated.]

You can only feel that the connection between you and Sakura Tohsaka is growing stronger.

However, this state of affairs did not last long.

[Because young Sakura Tohsaka is finding it hard to cope.]

In fact, although Sakura Tohsaka opened her magic circuits under Vivian's guidance.

However, given her current physical condition, she cannot support generating magic power for an extended period of time.

and so--

From the moment Mr. Ghost revealed his physical form to the moment he disappeared, it only took a few seconds.

As Sakura Tohsaka opened her eyes, she could no longer maintain the Ghost's form.

The man Vivi had been longing for had simply vanished from her sight.

"Do not--!"

The usually mature and composed Vivian was now shouting like a child whose favorite toy had been taken away.

This made Sakura Tohsaka tense up immediately—she wondered if she had done something wrong again.

"What, what's wrong?"

The little girl's hands were trembling, and her voice was becoming increasingly panicked.

"Teacher Vivian...should I not have stopped?"

"..."

Realizing she might have lost her composure, Vivian quickly regained her composure and forced a smile, pretending nothing had happened.

"Nothing."

“You did a great job… This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone activate their magic circuits so easily.”

"Really?" Sakura Tohsaka looked quite happy.

"Of course it's true. I have no reason to lie to you, do I?"

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka looked at Vivian, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke as if she had mustered up her courage.

"That--"

"Teacher Vivian, why are you crying?"

"..."

Vivian's expression froze for a moment.

[His expression was as if Sakura Tohsaka had just exposed some secret of his.]

[You realize something's not right—something seems to have happened the moment Sakura Tohsaka activated her magic circuits.]

To be more precise, it was a very serious matter, after all, Vivian wasn't the type to be bothered by ordinary things.

Is it that Sakura Tohsaka's talent is too poor? Or is it that her magic techniques are too terrible?

Neither seems very likely.

[Keep in mind that Vivian had just praised her not long ago.]

You are lost in thought.

"Is that so?" Vivian quickly took out a tissue and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Sakura, it's okay."

“I’m just a little excited—I’ve never seen a student as talented as you before.”

Vivian's words were half true and half false, but at this moment, Sakura Tohsaka would take them all as true.

"Really? That's great!"

"Hmm." Seeing that she had gotten away with it, Vivian breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she knew her mind was in turmoil, so she continued:

"Sakura, let's stop here for today."

"I still have some things to take care of."

Let's continue tomorrow.

Despite having only been there a short time, Sakura Tohsaka had no doubt about what her teacher Vivian had said.

"Okay, I got it~"

You and Sakura Tohsaka left the mysterious room that Vivian had set up.

You've returned to the place Luvia rented at a high price.

That was a residential area quite close to the clock tower—it was meant for the people who worked inside the clock tower.

However, under Luvia's financial influence, this residential area "became" a London "branch" of Edelfeld within three days.

During the time Sakura Tohsaka was studying under Vivian, this lady from Finland lived with her here.

Of course, all of this was just an excuse Luvia used to tell Sakura Tohsaka.

She didn't want her silly little sister to feel bad about spending money.

"how is it going!"

Luvia was overjoyed to see her adopted sister, Sakura Tohsaka, return.

"Sakura, have you learned a lot?"

"Eh--?"

Seeing her stepsister's excited expression, Sakura Tohsaka knew that this was a sign that she cared about her.

So the little girl didn't think much about it and told the other party the whole truth.

"Sister, we didn't learn much today."

"Teacher Vivian only taught me how to access the 'Source'."

Unlike Sakura Tohsaka, who had never been exposed to formal magic knowledge since childhood, Luvia was designated by her family as their future successor from the moment she was born.

This led to her being exposed to fairly systematic magic knowledge at a very young age—which is also why she doubted Vivian's qualifications to teach Sakura Tohsaka.
