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

Rather, Luvia truly held a very important place in her heart—she was an adopted sister who was even closer to her than her biological sister.

"..."

"And what was her reaction?" Ian asked again.

"she says--"

Sakura Tohsaka recalled her phone call with Luvia that day, during which Luvia spoke to her earnestly about many things.

But in summary, it boils down to a few points:

She supports being with her Servant—but only if they win the Holy Grail War and bring the person back to the Edfeld family for a visit.

As for her future identity, she will find a way to arrange it properly.

This is actually one of the reasons why Sakura Tohsaka went directly to the school to find Misaya.

After all, if even Sister Luvia agrees, what do I have to be afraid of?

“She is very supportive of me being with you,” Sakura Tohsaka told Ian, her face flushed.

"She also hopes that I can join you in winning the Holy Grail War."

"is it?"

Ian held Sakura Tohsaka's hand tightly, and that incredibly reassuring sense of security spread throughout the girl's body.

"Don't worry, Sakura—I will do my best to maximize our chances of winning."

"Hmm~"

Sakura Tohsaka raised her head slightly and looked at the man standing behind her.

"Then, in order to achieve victory—"

"From now on, we must actively use the magic circuits every day to increase our chances of winning—no, we must start increasing our chances of winning today!"

"Mr. Ian... how many dishes are you planning to teach me to cook today?"

"About seven or eight dishes... After all, there are several people to eat, aren't there?"

"That--"

The girl's gaze was fixed solely on Ian, a single-minded devotion that was impossible to ignore.

"If I learn just one dish, Mr. Ian will owe me a kiss, okay?"

“…Of course, that’s no problem,” the man replied.

In the kitchen.

Steam rose in swirling clouds, mingling with the smell of cooking oil, filling the space.

Sakura Tohsaka also seriously learned the skills a good girlfriend should have—how to keep chatting with her boyfriend while cooking.

after an hour.

Having gained a lot, Sakura Tohsaka sorted out her feelings—she felt that this period of time had been far too short.

Picking up a plate of cooked food, the girl tilted her head slightly, her face flushed, and asked:

“Mr. Ian, let’s go outside.”

"it is good."

Ever since——

The two left this place filled with happiness.

After a few rounds, the table outside was filled with dishes that Sakura Tohsaka had prepared under Ian's "guidance".

"Ian, your cooking is as good as ever," Zenjou Aoi exclaimed.

"They're comparable to chefs from outside restaurants."

“Mrs. Kui, you flatter me,” Ian replied very modestly. “I only know a little about it.”

"It's still very difficult to compare with chefs from outside."

"Besides -"

Ian looked at Sakura Tohsaka beside him and took her hand firmly.

"This time, it was Sakura who cooked."

"Really? Really?" Zenjo Aoi could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"Sakura, did you really make this?"

"Um……"

Sakura Tohsaka touched her lower abdomen; even through a skirt, she could feel the warmth inside.

"It was indeed me."

"Oh, that's great." Zenjou Aoi smiled after a long time.

"Then I'd better eat a lot today!"

Seeing her mother's state, Sakura Tohsaka instinctively looked at Ian.

But she soon realized that the other person was also looking at her, so she lowered her head in embarrassment.

The man didn't say much, but simply tightened his grip on her hand to show that he completely understood her feelings.

but--

This atmosphere did not last long.

Because Ian noticed a stranger across the table—and the kind who kept staring at him.

Besides that, her outfit also looked a bit off.

This is a girl who doesn't seem quite right.

The first thing you notice is the cat ears on her head.

[Besides that, you also feel like she looks vaguely familiar—but you still can't remember who she is.]

The various doubts in his heart made Ian unable to help but ask a question.

"You are……"

"Uh...this."

Just as Rin Tohsaka was about to answer, Atalanta spoke up first.

"I am Arcadia."

"I ran into Rin's classmate in this area today, so I came along for a ride."

"right?"

After saying this, Atalanta gently nudged Rin Tohsaka with her hand, signaling her to cooperate.

The latter understood immediately and quickly followed up with an "explanation": "Yes, that's how it is."

“I see.” Ian nodded thoughtfully, but his gaze remained fixed on Atalanta’s cat ears.

"Then why did she..."

"I'm a cosplayer!"

As Atalanta "explained," she placed Rin Tohsaka's hand on her ear to make her explanation more convincing.

"This is fake!"

However, this is not fake.

Atalanta's ears were genuine cat ears.

The feel that Rin Tohsaka gets when touched is also a genuine feel.

It's fluffy and soft, and feels quite comfortable to touch.

only--

Given the current situation, Rin Tohsaka definitely cannot express her true feelings.

She could only suppress the pounding in her heart and, in accordance with Atalanta's words, explain the cat ears on her head.

"No, that's right!"

“Arcadia likes this—but we haven’t had time to switch it back yet.”

"There's nothing strange about it!"

"..."

Ian frowned slightly, seemingly not quite believing the explanation given by the two girls in front of him.

But just as he was about to ask a few more questions, Sakura Tohsaka stopped him.

"Alright, Mr. Ian."

"They've come all this way to our home... so let's not ask too many questions."

"Come and try my cooking!"

Despite still having many questions, Ian could only nod in agreement after hearing what his Master, Sakura Tohsaka, said.

At this moment, he has begun to gradually regard Sakura Tohsaka as a phantom he has not fully remembered.

Seeing that she had finally escaped a disaster, Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she quickly grabbed Atalanta's hand and then addressed the others present:

Excuse me!

“I suddenly remembered that I had some questions to ask Arcadia.”

Before anyone could answer, Rin Tohsaka pulled Arcadia outside.

After confirming that no one had followed her, she immediately asked her servant:

"How about it?!"

"Is it someone you know?"
