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

but--

Sakura Tohsaka looked at the man in front of her who was covering his forehead and felt extremely distressed.

Why did he look so pained?

"In that case——"

Sakura Tohsaka looked at the Command Seals in her hand—having learned them, she already knew they were extremely powerful.

“Mr. Ian, how about I use it all up to make you feel a little better?”

"Please do not!"

Ian reached out and stopped Sakura Tohsaka.

“Sakura, this thing is very precious—it shouldn’t be used casually in places like this.”

“But I don’t think this is ‘casual’.”

Sakura Tohsaka stared directly at Ian in front of her, her eyes seeing only him.

“Mr. Ian, you are my everything.”

"I cannot stand by and watch you suffer."

"..."

Realizing that if things continued this way, Sakura Tohsaka would really use up all her remaining cursed seals on such trivial matters.

You realize you absolutely cannot let her do that.

So even though it was really painful, you decided to endure it.

"I'm fine now," Ian forced a smile.

“Mr. Ian, you’re lying,” Sakura Tohsaka replied quickly.

"I did not lie to you."

Ian hugged Sakura Tohsaka tightly and left a reluctant kiss on her forehead.

"Master——"

"Please grant me even greater magical power."

"Eh?"

Although it wasn't the first time she'd asked him to do this, Sakura Tohsaka still felt a little embarrassed hearing Ian's proactive words.

However, she did not resist her servant, but nodded slightly.

“Mr. Ian, please feel free to draw magic from me.”

"but--"

"Please be a little gentler."

Hearing this frank and explicit conversation, Atalanta, who was hiding in the shadows, blushed even more.

She realized that their feelings for each other had become very deep.

And to be honest, the catgirl actually wished she were the one doing this with Ian right now.

but--

Now is not the time to think about this.

The catgirl shook her head, shaking off her daydreams, and then began to seriously analyze what she had just said.

Ian's condition... seems to be quite bad?

What happened in the end?

Atalanta found herself in a great hurry, but there was nothing she could do.

She wanted to know more!

Perhaps the catgirl had accumulated enough luck, because she heard the crucial information once again.

That was the question Ian asked after he finished replenishing his magic power, looking at Sakura Tohsaka with a happy expression on her face in the mirror.

"Sakura."

"You said you and Rin had a fight... Can you tell me what happened?"

"Eh?"

When Ian brought it up, Atalanta realized that she had overlooked this information that had been mentioned earlier.

That's right.

Her Master, Rin Tohsaka, had a fight with her younger sister, Sakura Tohsaka, and it had only just happened.

"This one……"

Looking at the man in front of her, Sakura Tohsaka's expression became hesitant—a sign that she was struggling with whether or not to tell him what was going on.

However, in the end, she did not hide it from her servant, but chose to tell him everything.

"Mr. Ian."

"My sister... is also preparing to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War."

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, both Ian, who was in the open, and Atalanta, who was in the shadows, were taken aback.

The former is because Rin Tohsaka had never expressed such thoughts before;

The latter suddenly realized that his Master had been secretly acting all along.

"That--"

Having understood, Ian took Sakura Tohsaka's hand—he now knew why she had been so upset earlier.

"Are you feeling bad because you think you've been deceived?"

"Yes." The girl nodded without hesitation. "My sister never told me she would participate, right?"

"This is deceiving me."

"..."

Ian has always favored Sakura Tohsaka, not to mention the Command Seals he now possesses.

"I understand."

"So, Sakura, what are you planning to do next?"

"Let's move out for now." Sakura Tohsaka looked at the man in front of her. "Mr. Ian, you'll come with me, right?"

"Isn't that natural?"

Ian bent down and left a knight's kiss on the back of Sakura Tohsaka's hand.

"I am your servant."

"No matter what, I must protect you."

"This is how it is now, and it will be this way in the future."

Hearing these incredibly loyal words, Sakura Tohsaka smiled from the bottom of her heart.

That's right.

Everyone is capable of betraying you, but Ian is the only one who would never betray you.

He is his own knight!

"Speaking of which-"

Sakura Tohsaka once again took the initiative to cater to him.

At this moment, she had already decided that the other person was one of the few people in the world she could trust.

"That girl named Arcadia is my sister's Servant."

"she--"

"Didn't he say anything strange to you?"

"Eh!"

Atalanta covered her mouth.

She suddenly realized that her current situation was no different from that of a lamb being led into the tiger's den.

After all, what if Ian confessed everything to Sakura Tohsaka?

Given that the two of them had just had an argument, he might be killed on the spot in this bathroom.

however--

Ian did not choose to reveal Atalanta's situation.

He shook his head and replied:

"No."

"She didn't say anything strange to me—it's just that I felt she looked somewhat familiar."

"Owner……"

Knowing that Ian was doing everything he could to protect himself, Atalanta felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

The bathroom returned to its original state.

The catgirl wagged her tail and silently listened as her master and another girl exchanged sweet nothings.

She really wanted to join in—but that was definitely not possible now.

More than an hour later.

Having finally escaped from the bathroom, Archer Atalanta quickly returned to her Master's side.

This is another room in the mansion.
