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

“I would still be very happy to do it.”

Upon hearing this, Vivian's nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears again.

That tiny hope throbbed in his chest, denying the fact that he had already forgotten her.

"That--"

"Can I still ask you for help like this in the future?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then answered with a smile.

"If Master agrees, I will help you immediately."

"..."

Vivian's expression turned incredibly disappointed in an instant, but she quickly regained her composure.

The witch has completely denied her defeat.

Therefore, everything before her eyes was merely a temporary concession for her.

No.

Not even a temporary concession is needed.

"I see."

Vivian smiled calmly, selectively ignoring the first half of Ian's reply.

"If this happens again, I will take the initiative to contact you."

Ian realized that Vivian's meaning was not quite the same as his own.

Just as he was about to explain, Sakura Tohsaka appeared at the end of the corridor.

With her face flushed, she approached her knight.

"Mr. Ian!"

"What's wrong?" Ian responded to his Master.

The moment she finished speaking, Sakura Tohsaka grabbed Ian's hand in front of Vivian.

The latter moved his body closer, almost touching him.

Faced with this situation, Vivian felt like she was about to grind her teeth to dust.

Sakura Tohsaka's next words plunged the witch into an icy abyss of despair.

"Mr. Ian, would you like to go shopping together tonight?"

"I'd like to familiarize myself with Fuyuki with you beforehand!"

What--!

They're going out together?!

Just as Vivian was starting to feel breathless, things took an unexpected turn.

Sakura Tohsaka held Ian's hand tightly while cautiously asking her teacher a question.

"teacher--"

"Would you like to come along?"

301. Morgan believes he has won this time / Sakura's showdown attack / Not suitable for children (4k)

"..."

Vivian could hardly believe what she had just heard.

Is Sakura Tohsaka inviting me out?

What does she mean by that?!

Is this a provocation?

No.

Given her personality, she shouldn't do such a thing.

After all, although she didn't like the look of her, Vivian had to admit that she was a very polite girl.

Being with her is much better than dealing with the people at the Clock Tower.

But if that's not the case, then what does her current behavior mean?

Vivian couldn't figure it out for the time being.

Seeing her teacher remain silent, Sakura Tohsaka cautiously asked again.

"that--"

"Ms. Vivian, do you not want to go? If that's the case, then please pretend I didn't say anything!"

"Do not."

Vivian certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

"Of course I have to go."

"after all--"

The witch pretended that nothing had happened, hiding all her inner thoughts.

"This is my first time in Japan, so I really need to find an opportunity to get to know Fuyuki better."

"Hmm~" Sakura Tohsaka's lips curled up slightly. "That's great."

"That--"

The girl's gaze slowly shifted from her teacher to the knight servant.

"Mr. Ian, what's your opinion?"

When Sakura Tohsaka asked him a question, Ian didn't hesitate and simply smiled in response.

"You decide."

"After all, you are my Master—of course I'll listen to you."

"That's good~"

As she said this, Sakura Tohsaka snuggled up to the knight, looking like a girl deeply in love.

Vivian watched this scene and felt her heart clench tightly.

That might be resentment at seeing the two so intimate;

Or perhaps it's regret for what they did back then.

But no matter which one it is, it will definitely not be pleasant.

You agreed to Sakura Tohsaka's request to go shopping.

You, her, and Vivian formed a somewhat odd trio.

However, by the time of departure, the number had increased to four.

[Because Rin Tohsaka also joined.]

Evening, inside a shopping mall in Fuyuki City.

Rin Tohsaka crossed her arms and complained with a displeased expression:

"Why did you two have to take him shopping and make me come along too?!"

"I don't want to buy anything!"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it~" Sakura Tohsaka said with a forced smile, "The only person left who is familiar with this area and has free time is you, big sister."

"If I didn't look for you—"

"We can't exactly ask Mom to take care of us, can we?"

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka was absolutely right.

Since their father died in the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Tohsaka sisters' mother, Zenjou Aoi, has been getting weaker day by day.

Rin Tohsaka watched this unfold with growing anxiety.

But she didn't have any good solutions, so she could only remain silent and pretend that she knew nothing about the situation.

At least this way, my mother won't worry about being sad.

There is no way around it.

"Too."

Rin Tohsaka scratched her head, then suddenly remembered something quite important.

"Wait a minute!" The girl looked panicked.

"Let me make this clear first! If we're buying clothes, don't buy anything too expensive, I don't have much money on me!"

In reality, there wasn't much money in the account.

Rin Tohsaka, who uses gem magic, is known for being poor.

"Sister, you don't need to worry about that."

As Sakura Tohsaka said this, she took a rabbit-shaped wallet out of her pocket.

She unfolded it in front of Rin Tohsaka.

There were dozens of things that looked like credit cards.

However, judging from the exquisite craftsmanship and the gold foil lettering on the surface, it should be something far beyond the level of a "credit card".

Even a young lady like Rin Tohsaka didn't immediately realize what it was.

However, Sakura Tohsaka seemed to understand this as well, so she quickly began to explain what she was holding:
