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

This incidates that……

My stepsister strongly disagrees with what she just proposed!

Sakura Tohsaka's plans have been disrupted.

This was a situation she had never anticipated.

At this moment, her mind was in a state of confusion, and she didn't know how to handle the situation.

You've realized that.

You quickly offered words of comfort to her.

"Don't worry," Mr. Ghost's voice rang in Sakura Tohsaka's ear. "Let's find out what happened first."

"Luvia certainly wouldn't refuse you without a reason."

"Find out what happened, then communicate properly, and there will definitely be a solution."

The comforting words from Mr. Ghost quickly calmed the flustered Sakura Tohsaka down.

She already cared a lot about what he said, so it goes without saying that she would care even more at a time like this.

So the little girl mustered her courage and asked, "Sister Luvia, why won't you let me participate in the Holy Grail War?"

Although in front of outsiders, Luvia always appears decisive and brooks no argument.

However, she doesn't act this way when facing her adopted sister, Sakura Tohsaka.

The young lady from Finland stared at Sakura Tohsaka for a long while before slowly speaking:

"Sakura, what I'm about to say might be a little hard to hear."

"Can you...stop being angry with me?"

"..."

Although she didn't know what Luvia would say next, Sakura Tohsaka nodded out of trust in her.

"I see."

"I won't be angry with Sister Luvia."

"That's good." Luvia was relieved to receive Sakura Tohsaka's promise.

"First of all, I want to remind you of something."

"The Holy Grail War... that's something only country bumpkins would do."

"what?"

Sakura Tohsaka could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"Sister, what are you saying??"

"The Holy Grail War...is something only country bumpkins do??"

“Yes.” Luvia crossed her arms and looked serious.

“We’ve been at the Clock Tower for so long… have you seen any magicians mention the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki?”

"Eh?"

Luvia's reminder made Sakura Tohsaka realize that the situation seemed to be true.

The two sisters, who originally planned to stay for only a month, have now stayed for a whole season.

During this period, only his teacher Vivian mentioned the Holy Grail War.

Even when she talked about this matter, she used a cautious and humble attitude.

In a sense, it does perfectly match what her adoptive sister Luvia said.

Was the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki really such a powerless entity?

No wonder she was worried that she would be unhappy after hearing it.

Seeing her stepsister Sakura Tohsaka remain silent, Luvia knew that she must have understood what she had just said.

Seizing the opportunity, she immediately came up with a second reason.

“Sakura, besides this, there’s actually another reason.”

"..."

Still reeling from the previous conversation, Sakura Tohsaka looked at her stepsister Luvia again, her tone becoming much more cautious.

"What's the reason?"

"Hmm..." Luvia's demeanor softened slightly.

"According to the ancestral teachings passed down in our family, those of us with direct bloodlines are absolutely not allowed to return to Japan."

"Of course, you don't need to think about such things."

"but--"

Luvia grasped Sakura Tohsaka's shoulders, her brows furrowed with worry.

"I simply cannot ignore this regulation."

"After all, I am the future heir of the Edfeldt family. If I were to lead the way in violating ancestral precepts, the problem would be quite serious."

"This means that even if I allow you to go to Fuyuki to participate in some Holy Grail War..."

"I... can't go back with you either, understand?"

"..."

If the first reason is that Luvia doesn't want Sakura Tohsaka to participate in the Holy Grail War, which the Clock Tower considers a ritual for country folk, out of consideration for her family's reputation;

The latter one is simply her concern for her younger sister as the older sister.

Because of a family precept passed down for reasons unknown, Luvia is absolutely forbidden from returning to Fuyuki, let alone participating in the Holy Grail War.

This means that if Sakura Tohsaka really wants to go back to fight, she will basically be alone.

For Luvia, who has always cared deeply about her adopted sister, this was clearly an unacceptable situation.

"so--"

Luvia looked at her adopted sister in front of her, her eyes filled with a tenderness that she could only feel for her.

"Sakura, do you understand?"

"I'm worried something might happen to you."

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka nodded.

"Well, I see."

[Although the idea has been temporarily shelved because of my adoptive sister, Luvia.]

But Sakura Tohsaka did not give up on it.

[Or perhaps it should be said that her desire to join the war was actually strengthened by her sister's encouragement.]

late at night.

Lying in bed, Sakura Tohsaka looked at the white curtains above her bed, her expression somewhat melancholy.

She still couldn't ignore the idea of ​​joining the war in her head, just as her sister had suggested.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she asked in a low voice, "Is it 'air'?"

"Mr. Ghost, are you there?"

"If you're here, could you please talk to me?"

Less than a second later, Mr. Ghost's response came through.

"Yeah...I'm here."

"Eh--?!"

Sakura Tohsaka looked to the other side of the pillow, where the sound had come from.

A cute bunny doll is sitting in that spot.

It was the little girl's favorite toy—now it's used specifically to refer to her favorite Mr. Ghost.

"Mr. Ghost, don't you need to rest?"

“Theoretically speaking, it shouldn’t be necessary,” came Mr. Ghost’s reply again.

"What's wrong? It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Are you thinking about something?"

"Ah."

Sakura Tohsaka nodded.

She had no intention of hiding her thoughts from him.

"I'm still thinking about participating in the Holy Grail War."

"Hmm?" Mr. Ghost's voice carried a hint of doubt. "Didn't Kluvia say she didn't support what you were doing?"

“That’s true.” Sakura Tohsaka did not deny what he said.

"but--"

"I still want to participate."

"..."

"..."

The room fell into a deathly silence.

After a long while, Sakura Tohsaka finally broke the silence.

"Um... Mr. Ghost, are you like my sister, not supporting me doing this?"

"What? I didn't say I didn't support you."
