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

"Ian, you...didn't tell Sakura about that, did you?"

"That matter?" the man asked, somewhat puzzled. "Which matter?"

"At once……"

Rin Tohsaka turned her face away and pointed inside the blanket.

"The thing you did for me last night!"

"..."

“Uh…” Ian frowned slightly, “Of course I didn’t say that.”

"how?"

"Rin, do you want me to tell Sakura?"

"Of course not!" Rin Tohsaka pinched Ian's hand hard. "If you dare tell anyone, I'll make you suffer terribly!"

"Are you threatening me?" Ian asked helplessly.

"This is not a threat, it's a warning!"

"Isn't that the same?" Ian said, speechless.

"Rin, don't worry—I know what I should say and what I shouldn't say."

"I will keep this secret."

"..."

Although it was just a verbal promise, Rin Tohsaka found herself feeling much more at ease.

Upon closer reflection, it's probably because this man is indeed very trustworthy.

This isn't the girl talking nonsense or making subjective conjectures.

after all--

When the man helped me masturbate last night, he did indeed keep his initial promise of "simply helping."

He left immediately after finishing his performance.

“Okay, I’ll trust you this once,” Rin Tohsaka replied to Ian.

"Sister." Sakura Tohsaka, having changed her clothes, turned around. "What were you talking about with Mr. Ian?"

"It's nothing, just some trivial matters."

Rin Tohsaka ended the topic cleanly and decisively.

"Now it's my turn to change."

[After last night's experience and that conversation, Rin Tohsaka has elevated your status in her heart a bit—she's less concerned about being a little more open around you.]

She changed out of her pajamas and into her outdoor clothes with a clean and efficient motion right before your eyes, seemingly without any qualms.

[But you think this is good too—after all, constantly avoiding it would be very troublesome.]

It's actually something to be thankful for that we can maintain this delicate balance.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

But that's only what it appears to be.

After washing up.

"Let's go~"

Rin Tohsaka tossed her hair, regaining her usual confidence.

"I need to get out of here quickly—I'd better finish this today."

"We'll listen to you, sister~/Mmm," Ian and the other replied.

however--

When they arrived downstairs, the three of them received an unexpected message from Zenjo Aoi.

"Huh?" Rin Tohsaka blinked. "Vivian said she had something to do and left early this morning?"

“Hmm.” Zenjou Aoi nodded. “It looks like the teacher took something out with him.”

"But I didn't ask in detail—that would have been too impolite."

"This……"

Rin Tohsaka was a little angry.

After all, they had just agreed last night that she would go to the private Homurahara Academy to register today, but now she left alone.

This is a very untrustworthy thing to do.

Normally, Rin Tohsaka knew she would be furious and would never give Vivian any chance to make amends.

but--

Although Vivian and Sakura Tohsaka are in a relationship similar to "love rivals," they are ultimately still master and apprentice in name only.

Rin Tohsaka felt that simply letting it flare up like this wasn't a good idea.

The girl eventually decided to pass the buck to other people.

She looked at Sakura Tohsaka and Ian behind her and asked:

"So, should we contact her?"

"..."

"..."

[You noticed Sakura Tohsaka's expression.]

She looked quite uneasy.

You quickly realize one thing—she doesn't want to contact Vivian, but at the same time, she's hesitant because of you.

You've decided to take the blame upon yourself.

"In that case——"

Ian's gaze swept over the Tohsaka sisters in front of him.

"I think it would be best not to contact Vivian for the time being."

"After all, she's usually quite composed; she shouldn't have forgotten what she was supposed to do today."

"I think she must have something urgent to do to do that she did that."

"What else could it be?" Rin Tohsaka scoffed.

"never mind."

"Since you've said so, Ian, let's leave her alone for now."

"Let's hurry to school!"

"Ah."

Sakura Tohsaka quickly nodded.

The girl felt a warmth in her heart—because she knew he was speaking on her behalf.

This feeling... is so blissful.

[You and the Tohsaka sisters have temporarily put aside the matter of Vivian's departure.]

You've left, heading towards the private Homurahara Academy.

On the way, Rin Tohsaka began to recount some events, much like a tour guide.

The Tohsaka family's home is not far from the private Homurahara Academy.

Therefore, Ian and his group chose to walk.

However, although it's not far, it won't be a trip that can be taken in a short time.

Walking along the snow-covered streets, feeling a bit bored, Rin Tohsaka decided to say something.

"Speaking of which-"

"Since you're here to participate in the Holy Grail War, you should know a lot about the Holy Grail War from ten years ago, right?"

"..."

"..."

"Sakura, what's with that expression?" Rin Tohsaka asked, somewhat surprised.

"Ian, as a Servant, may not know, but don't you know either?"

Yes, yes.

Sakura Tohsaka confessed to it with great shame.

But you can't blame her for this.

After all, even the Clock Tower's understanding of the Fourth Holy Grail War came entirely from Kenneth's belongings before his death and Waver's recollections afterward.

Not to mention that there is a lot of hidden information in this.

That's definitely not something that someone like Sakura Tohsaka could fully understand.

"Sigh." Rin Tohsaka sighed. "Alright."

To be honest, if it weren't for her mother Zenjou Aoi's words, she would never have wanted to help Tohsaka Sakura.

Ultimately, Rin Tohsaka herself was a participant in the Holy Grail War.

The more confused her opponent is, the more advantageous the situation becomes for her.

But since her mother was so hopeful, she couldn't just pretend nothing had happened.

Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka revealed the information she knew.

"Ten years ago, the Holy Grail War ended with a fire that lasted for almost a day for some unknown reason."

"The Fuyuki City you see now is actually very different from what it used to be."
