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

Mr. Ghost's thanks made Sakura Tohsaka feel embarrassed.

She actually wanted to ask him what he would choose to do if he could live in the real world.

But at that moment, a figure appeared at the corner of the corridor.

Then, she slowly walked to Sakura Tohsaka's side and spoke in a voice tinged with resentment:

"Sakura, who are you talking to?"

"Um?!"

Startled by being called by name, Sakura Tohsaka turned around and saw her teacher, Vivian.

only--

Doesn't she look a little too haggard?

[Just as Sakura Tohsaka sensed.]

Vivian does seem to be in a rather strange state.

With dark circles under her eyes, it seemed she hadn't slept all night.

You realize this isn't just simple insomnia—she must be acting this way because of what happened yesterday.

You increasingly feel that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

But everything seemed shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern.

Sakura Tohsaka also noticed this situation.

However, what she cared about was something more direct—Vivian's condition.

The little girl asked worriedly, "Teacher Vivian, what's wrong?"

"You seem...very uncomfortable?"

"..."

A barely perceptible emotion flickered across Vivian's brow.

But she quickly composed herself and responded to her student, Tohsaka Sakura, with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just saw a few things that caught my attention."

"By the time I came to my senses, it was already morning."

Sakura Tohsaka did not raise any questions about what her teacher Vivian had said.

Instead, she became increasingly worried:

"In that case—"

"Ms. Vivian, why don't you go and rest for a bit?"

"I can come back to learn magic later!"

"..."

Vivian looked at Sakura Tohsaka with a very serious expression—she seemed to be in a state of extreme contradiction.

But in the end, she just shook her head.

"Do not."

"That's not necessary."

"Although I haven't had enough rest, this condition will not affect my teaching."

"Sakura, don't worry."

"but--"

Vivian looked at what Sakura Tohsaka was tightly hugging, her expression full of confusion.

"what is this?"

"Oh!" Remembering her mission for the day, Sakura Tohsaka quickly explained to Vivian, "Teacher, this is something my sister asked me to bring to you!"

"Something you brought for me?" Vivian was even more confused. "Why would you bring me something for no reason?"

"The teacher seemed very unhappy yesterday... I was worried that I might have done something stupid and offended the teacher."

Sakura Tohsaka spoke softer and softer.

"After I finished talking to my sister, she asked me to bring these things over."

"..."

Vivian looked at Sakura Tohsaka in front of her and was speechless for a moment.

She realized that the little girl in front of her had indeed noticed something yesterday.

but--

Shouldn't it be stated directly that the older sister asked her to bring these things over?

This guy is really naive to an extreme degree.

However, although she thought this in her heart, Vivian did not express it in her words and actions.

She bent down and hugged all the gifts provided by Luvia into her arms.

"Sakura, let's go inside first. We can talk about it later."

"Hmm~"

And so, Sakura Tohsaka followed Vivian into the room.

[You noticed that Vivian's reaction was a little different than usual.]

She seemed to be in a rather conflicted state.

You can't immediately tell whether this is good or bad for Sakura Tohsaka.

Inside the office.

Vivian and Sakura Tohsaka sat on the sofa.

On the table were two steaming cups of barley tea—something Vivian had specially prepared after their first meeting.

She took a sip of tea, then spoke with a smile:

"I appreciate your kind intentions... but let's stop with the gift-giving here."

"I don't need these things; they'll just be a waste in the end."

"Is that so..."

Sensing that her teacher didn't seem to like her, Sakura Tohsaka quickly nodded.

"I understand, I will never do such a thing again."

"That's good."

Vivian put down her teacup and looked at Sakura Tohsaka.

"correct--"

Have you heard that someone in your family is going to participate in the Holy Grail War?

"The Holy Grail War?" Sakura Tohsaka blinked. "What's that?"

"Hmm...it's a way magicians pray for blessings."

"Everyone who comes to the Clock Tower will have some thoughts about this—of course, whether they actually do it is another matter."

Vivian didn't want to reveal her intentions directly.

The witch did not directly express her desire for Sakura Tohsaka to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Instead, we should observe the little girl's attitude from another angle—the Edelfelt family.

As expected, Sakura Tohsaka was completely unprepared.

"I don't know."

"Because Sister Luvia never told me about this."

Hearing Sakura Tohsaka's answer, Vivian knew that she did not doubt her words, so she took the opportunity to put forward another hypothesis.

"Sakura, if every magician might eventually end up on this path..."

"That--"

Would you resist participating in the Holy Grail War?

"Eh?"

This is a question that Sakura Tohsaka has never thought about.

However, she didn't hesitate for long before giving her answer.

"that……"

"If I need to do this kind of thing, then I will accept it."

“But what if it’s dangerous?” Vivian continued.

"This one……"

Sakura Tohsaka pondered for a while before answering her teacher's question.

"I guess I'll still do it."

"After all, if everyone does it this way, then I don't want to avoid all of this."

Upon hearing this, Vivian realized that Sakura Tohsaka might actually be a very easy person to control.

With just a few reasons, you can get her to follow your lead and participate in the dangerous Holy Grail War.

The idea that the witch had just suppressed rekindled once again.

See him!

I must see him!

Then I must keep him by my side!
