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

Now that we've found it, let's put it to use.

Everything is the best arrangement.

Ever since——

Kirei Kotomine thus summoned Li Shuwen, the Assassin who had reached the pinnacle of Bajiquan.

"Of course I'll be angry."

As an Assassin, Li Shuwen looked up at a window of the Fujimura Taiga's mansion not far away.

At this moment, it has been completely sealed off, allowing no light to penetrate.

"That guy named Ian."

"But I don't like looking at the boxing I've practiced for so long."

"So you used a little force?"

Kirei Kotomine picked up the last fragment.

"More or less." Li Shuwen's gaze returned to his Master.

"how?"

"do you have any opinion?"

Li Shuwen didn't really like his master, Kotomine Kirei.

In his words, "There is only one person who can suppress their true nature."

after all--

If one's master is suppressing their true nature just like themselves, it feels like looking in a mirror.

Li Shuwen hated that feeling.

"Why would I have any objection?"

Kirei Kotomine's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that seemed ambiguous.

"But Assassin, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to insist on using your real name?"

"It doesn't matter."

Li Shuwen turned around and walked into the house.

"I do hope someone can find my weaknesses and then come and challenge me."

"Only through constant practice can my 'Never Fight' reach its peak."

[You are unaware of this conversation between Kirei Kotomine and Li Shuwen.]

[You were pulled along by Rin Tohsaka for quite a distance.]

The girl stopped only after making sure that her master, Kirei Kotomine, and Li Shuwen wouldn't see her.

A few streets away from the Fujimura Taiga residence.

Rin Tohsaka and Ian sat on a bench.

"Huff—huff—" The girl gasped for breath several times before she could calm herself down.

She looked at the man beside her and said anxiously.

"Ian, didn't you notice that old man Li Shuwen is angry?"

"I see it," the man replied calmly.

"Eh?"

Rin Tohsaka was somewhat surprised—she hadn't expected such an answer.

"Since you've already figured it out, why are you still..."

"I already said, I was just curious about Bajiquan."

"but--"

Ian looked at Rin Tohsaka beside him, his eyes showing a hint of friendliness.

"Rin, thank you for your kindness anyway."

"..."

Rin Tohsaka blushed instantly.

"I...I didn't mean any good!"

"I...I did this because I have something I want to ask you for a favor!"

"Please?"

“Yeah…” Rin Tohsaka turned her face away and muttered to herself.

"You should be living with Sakura now, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

“Then—” Rin Tohsaka’s voice carried a hint of guilt.

"Please apologize to her for me."

"What I said that day was indeed too harsh."

Sakura Tohsaka isn't the only one reflecting on her actions.

Rin Tohsaka is also reflecting on her own behavior.

Seeing her mother's distress upon learning that her sister had moved out only intensified her guilt.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ian seemed to have suddenly come to a realization and laughed.

"You two are still sisters at heart."

"Their ways of thinking are so similar."

"What do you mean by that?" Rin Tohsaka looked up and asked, somewhat puzzled.

“The literal meaning.” Ian shook his head. “Sakura said something similar to me yesterday.”

“This…” Rin Tohsaka smiled awkwardly, “I see.”

"Want to come sit with us for a bit?" Ian extended an invitation. "The place we're staying at is actually right next to Master Li's."

"what?"

Rin Tohsaka finally understood why she had seen Ian.

"forget it."

"Later, I'll go later."

“Okay.” The man stood up.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Sakura will be waking up soon too."

"Wait a moment!"

Rin Tohsaka called Ian to a halt, her expression turning serious as if she had made up her mind.

The man realized that the truth he had just confessed might have had a significant impact on her.

"Hmm... I'll tell you anyway."

"what happened?"

"that is--"

Rin Tohsaka looked at Ian, her tone becoming much more serious, and she began to reveal the results of her recent thoughts.

"Ian."

"I think... Vivian is very likely to have participated in this Holy Grail War as well."

334. Sakura and Morgan's Conflict / Sisters' Temporary Reconciliation / War Begins (4k)

Vivian, a name that sounds incredibly familiar to you.

You never expected to hear news about her at this moment.

"This……"

Ian sensed the seriousness in Rin Tohsaka's tone and realized that she wasn't joking.

"Rin, why do you think that?"

"because--"

"I've always thought that there's no such thing as a perfect life."

As Rin Tohsaka thought this, her thoughts drifted back to the day Vivian left the Tohsaka mansion.

In fact, the girl had similar thoughts as early as that day.

Since Vivian knows so much about the Holy Grail War, she should know that it is a way to fulfill wishes.

So--

From this perspective, would she really be so willing to help her younger sister, Tohsaka Sakura?

Rin Tohsaka had always been concerned about this.

However, due to the presence of her younger sister, Sakura Tohsaka, she couldn't say much before.

Ultimately, Sakura Tohsaka and Vivian are still master and apprentice, and saying too much about it might give the impression of sowing discord.

but--

It's different now.

After all, Vivian hadn't contacted either herself or Sakura Tohsaka for over a month.
