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

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Sakura Tohsaka immediately perked up.

"If you support me, why didn't you say anything just now?"

"Oh... I was just thinking about how to help you."

"How can you help me?"

Sakura Tohsaka took the arm of the rabbit doll as if Mr. Ghost were sitting there.

“That’s right.” Mr. Ghost affirmed his statement.

"Since you insist on thinking this way, then we should at least try to get you a chance, right?"

"Mr. Ghost!"

Sakura Tohsaka's cheeks flushed slightly—it was her joy at feeling that the other person was on her side.

"So, have you come up with any ideas?"

"It's not really a solution," Mr. Ghost replied to Sakura Tohsaka. "I just felt that you could ask Vivian for help."

"Teacher Vivian?"

“Yes.” Mr. Ghost further confirmed his method.

"Since it was she who suggested you participate in the Holy Grail War—"

"I think she would be very happy to help you solve these problems, wouldn't she?"

"Eh!" Sakura Tohsaka's eyes lit up with hope. "Mr. Ghost is absolutely right!"

"Since Teacher Vivian is so capable, she must have a way to persuade Sister Luvia."

"Yeah, you think so too."

"so--"

Mr. Ghost's words carried a touch of gentleness.

"Go to sleep now."

"Once I wake up, I'll go talk to Teacher Vivian and maybe we'll find a solution."

“Yes!” Sakura Tohsaka nodded.

Goodnight, Mr. Ghost~

After saying this, the little girl closed her eyes and rested happily.

But then, as if she had just remembered something, she opened her eyes again.

"Mr. Ghost, are you still there?"

"Here I am."

Can I ask you one more small question?

"of course can."

"Then... I want to know what kind of person I am in your eyes?"

"...Very cute."

"Eh--?!"

Upon hearing this answer, Sakura Tohsaka wrapped herself in the blanket with unimaginable speed and curled up into a ball.

Then a muffled "Goodnight again, Mr. Ghost" came from inside.

Meanwhile, in bed, little Sakura Tohsaka was already blushing deeply.

Curled up in a ball, she kept repeating the words she had just heard in her mind.

He... said I'm cute!

You have no idea what Sakura Tohsaka is thinking right now.

But you can clearly sense that this Holy Grail War is not just her affair alone.

Since you feel that your connection with her began at that mansion in Fuyuki, you really should go back and investigate properly.

This is the Holy Grail War she's going to participate in.

But it is also the Holy Grail War that you will have to participate in.

In terms of objectives, you have indeed achieved perfect unity.

The night passed quickly.

Having received a solution from Mr. Ghost, Sakura Tohsaka got up early in the morning.

After packing her things, she rushed to Vivian's office as quickly as possible—even though it wasn't actually time for the agreed-upon study session.

But what surprised Sakura Tohsaka was...

Although she did arrive very early, Vivian arrived even earlier!

That mature-looking older woman was already sitting in her office.

Steam rose from the cup of barley tea that had been brewed on the table, swirling into a cloud-like mist.

It looks like she's been sitting here for quite a while.

However, Sakura Tohsaka knew that these were not things she should be worrying about right now.

She needs to ask her for help!

"Teacher Vivian, please help me!"

Following your suggestion, Sakura Tohsaka told her teacher, Vivian, everything that had happened.

However, the latter showed no surprise whatsoever; on the contrary, she appeared quite calm, as if she had expected all of this.

“I see.” Vivian nodded. “I understand what you mean.”

"but--"

"This isn't really a problem at all, is it?"

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing Vivian's words, Sakura Tohsaka immediately realized that her incredibly talented teacher had come up with a suitable solution.

"Teacher, do you know what to do?"

“Mm.” Vivian nodded.

"Actually, you're only facing two problems right now."

The mature older woman extended her right index and middle fingers and began to analyze.

"First, Luvia believes that the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki is a rural ritual that the Clock Tower does not recognize."

"Secondly, Luvia is worried about you returning to Fuyuki alone to fight, feeling that it is very unsafe."

"Sakura, I'm sure I'm right, aren't I?"

"Yes, yes!" Sakura Tohsaka nodded quickly. "That's right, Vivian-sensei, you're absolutely right!"

"That's actually easy to solve."

Vivian stood up and picked out a book from the bookshelf behind her.

"The first question is about the Clock Tower's level of recognition of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War."

"It must be admitted that the Holy Grail War is not really acknowledged within the Clock Tower."

"But that doesn't mean everyone has rejected it."

"look."

Vivian opened the book in her hand to a certain page and then spread it out in front of Sakura Tohsaka.

The paper was covered with dense text, and in some places there were notes with annotations.

It's clear that this is all the intelligence Vivian has gathered during this season.

"From this, we can know that there are people inside the Clock Tower who are also involved in the Holy Grail War."

"Otherwise... I wouldn't have been able to gather this intelligence."

"Eh?!"

Sakura Tohsaka realized what was happening.

She stretched out her little hand and pointed to the books on the table.

"So that means if my sister sees this, she won't worry about embarrassing the family anymore, right?"

"Yes."

Vivian reached out and patted Sakura Tohsaka's head.

"But you have to win first."

"after all--"

"It would be too embarrassing to lose in a place like that when you are representing the Clock Tower."

A look of certainty flashed in Sakura Tohsaka's eyes.

"I understand!"

"That solves one problem!"

"But—" the little girl tugged at Vivian's sleeve, "how do we solve the other problem?"

"That makes it even simpler."

Vivian's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.

That was the joy of finally finding the most perfect way to intervene.

She whispered like a demon.

"Since Luvia can't go back with you—"

"Let me, as her teacher, take on this responsibility."
