As Sakura Tohsaka said this, she walked up to Vivian and "took" the plate of food from her hand.

"..."

Even if Vivian didn't know that Sakura Tohsaka had witnessed the kiss, she could tell from this overly aggressive action that her student was jealous.

How could I possibly give it to you?

The witch's eyes began to turn resentful.

Without hesitation, she picked up another dish and continued what Sakura Tohsaka had just said.

"There's really no need to worry about these things."

"Ian, let's go."

"..."

Although he sensed the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ian knew it was best not to express any opinion at this time.

He always felt that if he said the wrong thing, things would get out of control.

"Well, I see."

[You, Vivian, and Sakura Tohsaka started coming and going together like this.]

The three of them walked back and forth several times before they finally managed to get all the dishes outside.

It was a rather eerie atmosphere, and also an incredibly oppressive one.

You desperately want to break this situation, but you don't know where to start.

Inside the dining room.

Rin Tohsaka looked at the scene across the table with a puzzled expression.

Sakura Tohsaka and Vivian were already sitting next to Ian, leaving the space on either side of him empty.

If it weren't for her mother, Zenjo Aoi, sitting down, it would have been an odd situation where the other side of the table was bustling with activity while her side was cold and quiet.

"..."

"No!" Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but exclaim, "Why are you all crammed together like this?! It's so inconvenient to even pick up food like this!"

"Please sit a little further apart! Otherwise it'll seem like my house is really small!"

Rin Tohsaka is quite direct in her speech.

This is a habit she has developed over time.

after all--

Outside of school, she is an outstanding student council member with excellent grades and all-around abilities.

Because their mother, Zenjou Aoi, is in poor health, the actual person in charge of the family is Tohsaka Rin.

Rin Tohsaka's dual advantages had long taught her how to exercise her right to express herself.

No matter when or where, she always has her own little pride.

however--

For Vivian and Sakura Tohsaka at this moment.

Although they knew it was wrong of them to do this, they both knew that now was definitely not the time to back down.

After some back and forth, Vivian and Sakura Tohsaka both turned to look at Rin Tohsaka on the other side of the table.

Although they didn't say anything, their eyes conveyed the same message.

That is to tell Rin Tohsaka to "mind her own business".

"..."

Rin Tohsaka was stunned when she realized this.

Are they really that united as master and apprentice?

Fortunately, Rin Tohsaka's mother, Aoi Zenjou, wasn't the type to misunderstand the situation.

She soon realized that what her eldest daughter had just said seemed to have caused some negative effects.

As the person with the highest apparent seniority in the Tohsaka family, Zenjo Aoi immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"it does not matter."

"You don't need to mind what Xiaolin said. She's just been the student council president for too long and likes to meddle in this and that."

"Sakura, Vivian-sensei, please pretend you didn't hear that."

"..."

Rin Tohsaka looked at her mother, Aoi Zenjou.

She knew the other person was trying to smooth things over for her, and she couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

Even in this situation... he was still thinking about his daughter.

If we could really obtain the Holy Grail—

Let's make a wish for her recovery!

Thinking this, Rin Tohsaka then began to follow her mother's words neatly and concisely.

"Mom is right."

"I'm just used to pointing fingers at others... Just take it as a passing whim."

"..."

The three people across the table all knew that Rin Tohsaka was simply echoing her mother's words.

But everyone knows there's no need to expose her—after all, doing so would definitely lead to an awkward situation later.

Realizing this, Ian immediately changed the subject.

"eat first."

"Let's talk about other things after we finish eating."

“Hmm!” Knowing that Ian was also helping her, Rin Tohsaka took the opportunity he offered.

"Let me try it."

Rin Tohsaka picked up her chopsticks and began to taste the dishes in front of her.

The moment she took a bite, she exclaimed in surprise, "Who... cooked this? It tastes amazing!"

Rin Tohsaka wasn't flattering her.

As the eldest daughter of the family, her culinary skills are quite remarkable.

It was precisely because of this that Rin Tohsaka was able to quickly and accurately determine that the person who made this dish was definitely skilled.

"..."

Ian thought for a moment and decided to save face for Vivian.

He answered Rin Tohsaka's question: "It was something Vivian and I did together."

"..."

Vivian's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly seemed to have made up her mind.

She can no longer rely on his reputation.

"Do not."

“Ian did it all by himself… I was just his assistant.”

"Ok?"

Rin Tohsaka frowned slightly.

"Who did it?"

"Sister," Sakura Tohsaka spoke up at this moment, "Does it matter who did this?"

“Uh…” Rin Tohsaka scratched her face, “It’s not that important.”

"That--"

Sakura Tohsaka smiled slightly and then made a "please" gesture.

"Why doesn't my sister use the time she would spend asking questions to eat?"

"..."

Sensing the unexpectedly strange atmosphere, Rin Tohsaka didn't delve any further into the question of who had cooked the food.

She agreed with her sister.

"That's right~"

"That's right, since the food is so good, we should definitely eat more!"

"Mom, Sakura, Teacher Vivian, please eat more!"

"Okay. / I understand. / Thank you."

Seeing that the situation had finally stabilized, Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

He was in a very difficult position.

Sitting on the left is her Master, Sakura Tohsaka, with whom she has spent more than ten years.

Sitting to my right is Teacher Vivian, whom I feel genuinely familiar with.

None of them should be ignored.

But things are finally a little better now.

At least--

Finally, I can eat properly again.

However, things were not as simple as they seemed.

Just as Ian picked up his chopsticks and took the first dish, but before he could put it in his mouth...
