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

Upon hearing her stepsister's "report," Luvia immediately realized what was going on.

Vivian, she's helping Sakura Tohsaka activate her magic circuits!

"Oh my god!" Luvia gasped.

"Vivian is even more amazing than I thought... She actually taught you something like this on the very first day?"

"You know, I spent over a month preparing before I was qualified to do something like this!"

"Yes, really?"

After her stepsister's explanation, Sakura Tohsaka felt even more respect for her teacher, Vivian.

"Is this kind of thing really that amazing?"

"Let's not talk about that now," Luvia said, holding her stepsister's hand tightly. "So, what was the result?"

"How did it go? Did you learn it?"

"I don't know..."

Sakura Tohsaka very honestly confessed her feelings.

"But Ms. Vivian told me that I did very well in my studies today, and that we can continue tomorrow."

"is it?"

Luvia's face was beaming with undisguised joy.

Although it might be a little embarrassing for the older sister to be overshadowed by her younger sister, she had no desire to be jealous of her adopted sister.

"That means you succeeded!"

"It seems that Japan doesn't only produce idiots; occasionally, there are geniuses as amazing as you, Sakura!"

"Hehehe, is that so?"

Sakura Tohsaka felt a little embarrassed after being showered with praise by Luvia.

From childhood to adulthood, she never imagined that she would be a genius, but now, while studying at the Clock Tower, she has received such high praise for the first time.

of course.

She won't be proud of this—after all, it's just the beginning.

The deep sisterly bond between Luvia and Sakura Tohsaka will move you.

However, more than being happy, you were concerned about Vivian's reaction at that time—she had clearly witnessed something unacceptable.

Furthermore, the sense of familiarity she exudes also bothers you.

After careful consideration, you decide to subtly remind Sakura Tohsaka to prevent her from suffering unnecessary losses.

"..."

As she listened to the words spoken by Mr. Ghost, Sakura Tohsaka's initially joyful expression gradually faded.

Instead, he looked worried.

This reaction naturally couldn't escape the eyes of her stepsister, Luvia.

The Finnish young lady quickly asked:

"Sakura, what's wrong?"

Why did you suddenly make that face? Don't scare me!

Knowing there was nothing to hide, Sakura Tohsaka told Luvia in front of her everything that Mr. Ghost had mentioned and what she had seen before, without reservation.

The latter also showed a surprised expression after hearing it.

"This……"

"You said Vivian seemed a little unhappy?"

“Yes, yes.” Sakura Tohsaka nodded. “So I’m a little worried that Vivian-sensei might have run into some trouble.”

"For example, not having money to spend or nothing to eat."

"..."

Luvia shook her head, rejecting the possibility proposed by Sakura Tohsaka.

"Sakura, don't forget."

"When she agreed to teach you, she didn't want any payment at all."

"How could she possibly be short of money?"

"That--"

Sakura Tohsaka looked at Luvia with a worried expression.

"What the hell is going on?"

“I don’t know either,” Luvia confessed, “and we can’t ask.”

"Because magicians should never try to find out each other's intentions."

"Otherwise, it would be tantamount to provoking the other side."

"so what should I do now?"

"How about this," Luvia said calmly, "I'll buy some gifts later, and you can take them to her tomorrow, okay?"

"Good~"

[Thanks to your reminder, Sakura Tohsaka and Luvia devised a gift-giving plan.]

After all, Vivian was quite important to them, or rather, to the Edfeld family.

However, you are unaware that the truth is far different from what you think.

Vivian, whose real name is Morgan, doesn't care about any of this.

Late at night, inside a room in the clock tower.

Vivian was standing in front of a mirror.

Looking at her reflection, she recalled countless nights from the past.

At that time——

As long as you stand in front of the mirror like this, he will understand and come behind you, then softly ask a question:

"Your Highness, would you like a special treat tonight?"

And after that, it was time for passionate lovemaking.

But now——

Vivian's mind conjured up images of her student, Sakura Tohsaka, and their close bond.

of course.

This is a situation that, upon closer examination, becomes quite amiss.

But Vivian simply couldn't think things through calmly—even if the other person was just a little girl!

She had accepted that she had lost to her de facto younger sister, Artoria.

After all, over the course of a thousand years, Vivian had long realized how foolish and ridiculous her actions had been.

She clearly didn't want to see him and Artoria interact, yet she always chose the worst way to express herself when she had the chance to salvage the situation.

I was wrong.

And it's the kind of thing that's ridiculously wrong.

If I had the chance, I would never do that again...

Before she knew it, Vivian's eyes began to moisten, and two lines of clear tears slid down her fair cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

No.

Now is not the time to be upset about this kind of thing.

Vivian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and composed herself.

We should be happy now.

After all, they had calculated so many spells before, but they had never even seen his shadow once.

With Sakura Tohsaka's visit, she was actually able to meet him.

No matter how you look at it, it's clear that their own efforts were rewarded by fate.

That's right.

It must be so.

As long as we focus on this approach, there will definitely be a solution.

Vivian repeated the same reasons, constantly trying to convince herself.

In this state, she left the room and headed towards the magic workshop that had been hidden in the clock tower.

That's a place where no one can enter unless you allow it yourself.

At the same time, it is actually a replica of the magic workshop in Camelot, a highly convincing fake.

Only Sakura Tohsaka has ever been here.

Vivian's gaze swept across the bookshelf, her expression heavy.

She never told Sakura Tohsaka one thing—that these things lying on the bookshelf were actually almost like original texts.

This is her collection, accumulated over the past thousand years.

Vivian was convinced that she could find the answer to any magical question here—including the situation she was facing right now.

And that is indeed the case.

In this grand library spanning a thousand years, Vivian found what she was looking for.

"So it's possible that it's something like a contract?"

The former king of Britain gently turned the pages of the book in his hands.
