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

“Hmm…” Atalanta nodded. “It is indeed him.”

The catgirl servant recalled the days when she was pampered by Ian.

Although it may seem decadent on the surface, the actual feeling is quite wonderful.

After all, being held in his arms is indeed a very happy thing.

"but--"

"He didn't seem to recognize me."

"..."

Rin Tohsaka, who wasn't slow-witted, quickly understood the reason—after all, if she had recognized him, it wouldn't have been so easy to fool her just now.

“I don’t know either.” Atalanta’s two cat ears twitched.

"But if I could be alone with him for a while—"

"Who knows, there might be some new discoveries."

"A chance to be alone together?" Rin Tohsaka pondered for a moment, pursing her chin, and suddenly had an idea.

"Is it enough to just be alone together?"

“Hmm.” Atalanta nodded.

"That!"

Rin Tohsaka grasped Atalanta's shoulders.

"If that's the case—"

"Just barge in when he's alone in the bathroom later!"

"..."

Atalanta hesitated for a while before confirming that she hadn't misheard Rin Tohsaka's words.

She sensed that her Master not only supported her decision but also offered suggestions on the appropriate timing!

"Rin, do you mean we should meet him alone while he's taking a shower?"

“Yeah.” Rin Tohsaka nodded. “Otherwise, do you think there’s a chance at other times?”

Rin Tohsaka was telling the truth.

Her sister's romantic desire for Saber had reached an extremely obsessive level.

Only under such circumstances could there be a sliver of possibility of being alone with Ian.

"but--"

Atalanta gazed at her Master, her green eyes now showing a hint of caution and wariness.

"I have a feeling that even if it's just taking a shower... given what happened just now, it's unlikely she would let Ian go alone, right?"

"I can only say that he truly lives up to his reputation as Archer," Rin Tohsaka smiled slightly.

"Your observation skills are indeed very keen."

“That’s right… Logically speaking, Sakura would very likely go in to take a bath with Ian.”

"so--"

A sharp glint flashed in the girl's eyes.

"This so-called 'opportunity' is for the two of us—I can find something to chat with her about for a while."

"And you, Archer, must take this opportunity to test your ideas, understand?"

"..."

Feeling the trust that Rin Tohsaka placed in him, Atalanta felt a surge of gratitude.

She quite enjoys the feeling of being entrusted with something—it makes her feel like she's taking care of a child.

"I understand."

"In that case——"

"I will treat it as a mission to be carried out!"

“Very good.” Rin Tohsaka nodded. “This is the Archer I wanted to see!”

You are unaware of the plan devised by Rin Tohsaka and her Servant.

You just think that girl who calls herself Arcadia looks familiar.

You feel like you did meet her at some point—but you can't remember when.

Sakura Tohsaka noticed your unusual behavior.

"Mr. Ian, what's wrong?"

Sakura Tohsaka's gentle voice pulled Ian back from his reverie.

In the girl's blue eyes, only his image remained.

"You've seemed a little distracted since just now."

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Ian still did not choose to hide his true feelings from Sakura Tohsaka.

On the one hand, he felt there was no need to hide it from the person he "loved";

On the other hand, he found that he couldn't explain the situation clearly on his own.

"Sakura, it's like this."

You told Sakura Tohsaka all the doubts you had about Arcadia.

[Under the influence of the cursed seal, you spoke very frankly, without any concealment.]

Sakura Tohsaka clearly understands how you feel.

"I see."

Sakura Tohsaka nodded thoughtfully.

"Mr. Ian, do you find that girl named 'Arcadia' familiar?"

“Yes.” Ian nodded. “That’s true.”

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka was silent for a moment, then seemed to think of something and muttered a few words to herself.

"That looks like—"

"Perhaps I should ask my sister to confirm it."

Because everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, the rest of the dinner time was unusually quiet.

Afterwards, Zenjou Aoi's old problem relapsed.

After taking the medication, she returned to her room to rest.

At this moment, only you, Sakura Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka, and Arcadia, who just arrived, remain in the room.

The atmosphere was completely silent.

Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and remained silent.

Realizing that her plan would definitely not be able to be realized if things continued like this, Rin Tohsaka took the initiative to break the silence.

"that--!"

"Who's going to take a shower first?!"

"It's getting late, don't let everyone crowd together later."

Atalanta did not respond—because her purpose was not to take a bath at all, but to have a chance to be alone with Ian.

Besides, her current dual identity as a classmate and cosplayer doesn't really suit her to be a "pioneer".

By the same token, Rin Tohsaka could not possibly be the first.

After all, her purpose was not to take a bath, but to create an opportunity for her servant Atalanta to be alone with Ian.

If I can truly learn Ian's true identity through this, I will definitely be in an advantageous position in the upcoming Holy Grail War.

and so--

It has to be done no matter what.

But simply thinking about it won't achieve your goal.

Rin Tohsaka knew she needed to take the initiative even more.

She spoke directly:

"I... just happen to have something I'd like to talk to Sakura about."

"Ian, why don't you go take a shower first?!"

Rin Tohsaka had tried her best to express this incredibly abrupt request in a calm tone.

She just hoped that everything would develop according to her wishes.

And things did seem to be progressing exactly as the girl had wished.

Upon hearing her sister's "suggestion," Sakura Tohsaka not only didn't hesitate, but instead spoke even more proactively to Ian beside her:

"Since you've said so, sister—"

“Mr. Ian, you…you can take a shower first.”

Faced with his Master's "command," Ian naturally wouldn't refute it.

He nodded: "Okay, I understand."
