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

After saying this, Waver didn't wait for Zenjou Aoi's reply before trying to leave and bring Tohsaka Sakura back.

But before he could take two steps, Vivian stopped him.

"No need to go, Weber."

"Eh?"

Weber turned around and looked at his colleague with a puzzled expression.

Why don't you go?

"...It's complicated to explain."

Vivian glanced at Zenjo Aoi, who was still sighing.

"But in short, you don't need to go."

"Give Sakura some time... I believe she'll recover on her own."

"..."

Although he didn't know why Vivian was so confident in saying such things, Weber vaguely sensed a certain emotion.

This colleague from the clock tower seemed to have experienced something very similar, which is why he felt a deep resonance with her.

It seems like everyone has a story to tell.

Weber became somewhat frustrated upon realizing this.

Vivian didn't care about his feelings.

She stared at Zenjou Aoi.

There are some things I need to help out with.

Sakura Tohsaka has left Fuyuki's house.

However, it was just as Weber had thought.

[Because she was too young when she was sent away.]

Therefore, she wasn't very familiar with the road conditions in Fuyuki City (even around her home).

In the end, Sakura Tohsaka simply went to a park near her home and sat on a somewhat dilapidated swing.

Having witnessed everything, you realize that she has become emotional.

It was winter, and many snowflakes were falling from the sky.

They slowly descended onto this land, as if trying to cover up everything from the past.

But just as snowflakes eventually melt away, revealing the bare ground, memories of the past can also quietly resurface in those unexpected moments.

Sakura Tohsaka cried again.

This time, however, she didn't shed tears because of the emotion she felt when she reunited with her mother;

She just felt that all of this was too hard to accept.

"Sakura."

Mr. Ghost's voice rang in the girl's ears.

"Why are you crying?"

“When you cry like this, I feel sad too.”

"Eh?!"

Mr. Ghost is the person Sakura Tohsaka trusts most in this world.

His words quickly had an effect on her.

Sakura Tohsaka quickly wiped away her tears, then turned her face away and spoke softly:

"Didn't cry."

"Mr. Ghost, you've mistaken me!"

"Haha." Mr. Ghost's laughter echoed in Sakura Tohsaka's ears.

His voice was even gentler than before.

"Sakura."

"My silence does not mean I am not there."

"Don't forget that I've always been by your side. There are many things you can't hide from me."

"If you cried, you cried... there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes... I did cry."

“Very good.” Mr. Ghost affirmed Sakura Tohsaka’s actions.

"So--"

"Now tell me why you're crying?"

"Huh?!"

Faced with this question, Sakura Tohsaka became increasingly embarrassed.

"Mr. Ghost, do you really need to know this?"

"Hmm? You mean you can't tell me?" Mr. Ghost replied.

"But I find it so hard to say it."

Sakura Tohsaka expressed her feelings very frankly.

Having spent more than ten years together, she has become much more open and honest with him.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Mr. Ghost's voice held a hint of doubt.

Do you think I'll laugh at you after you tell me?

"Or--"

"You think I'm not suited to listen to what you're saying?"

"That's not true!" Sakura Tohsaka quickly denied it. "I've never believed that!"

"That's okay."

"Since you think I'm suitable, then tell me why you're crying."

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka looked around and, after confirming that no one else was around, whispered her thoughts.

"Mr. Ghost".

"Am I... really annoying?"

"Eh?"

You never expected Sakura Tohsaka to say something like that.

You initially thought she would be indignant because her sister, whom she had never met, had taken the scabbard of Excalibur Galatine.

But now it seems that the situation is not like that at all.

After criticizing her mother, Zenjou Aoi, for favoritism, Tohsaka Sakura began to reflect on her own actions.

She'd better take the blame herself.

You feel both sorry for her and saddened by her behavior.

Her personality seemed to have been gradually warped into a strange shape over the long course of her life.

"Sakura, why do you think that?" Mr. Ghost asked, puzzled.

"because--"

Sakura Tohsaka gripped the swing rope with one hand and stretched out the other, catching a few snowflakes.

Before they melted, she gently blew them off her hands.

"If I weren't annoying, why would my parents send me away?"

"I... I shouldn't have thought I could get that scabbard, right?"

"Mr. Ghost".

Sakura Tohsaka looked at the empty space beside her and forced a smile that seemed to indicate she understood everything.

She was smiling, yet she looked so sad.

This is a reaction that only occurs after experiencing utter heartbreak.

"Are you right?"

“No.” Mr. Ghost rejected Sakura Tohsaka’s idea almost without hesitation.

His tone also revealed a seriousness that he would never normally show.

"Sakura."

"You are not annoying at all."

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka was not happy about this.

"Mr. Ghost, are you trying to comfort me?"

“I’m not trying to comfort you,” Mr. Ghost’s voice was incredibly serious. “I’m stating the facts.”

“Sakura, you have never been an annoying person, and you don’t need to feel unworthy of being cherished by others because of this.”

"Haven't I, Luvia, and Vivian proven this point?"

"We all like you, how could you think of yourself as annoying?"
