If she absolutely had to take action, Atalanta would not hesitate to use her Noble Phantasm, the Phoebus Catastroph.

It's just risking your life!

As a hunter, she had long ago made this decision!

but--

The cat girl didn't just make a move right away.

Her gaze fell on Ian, who was standing to the side.

When Master Rin Tohsaka is away, the orders this man gives are the guidelines for his actions!

"..."

You realize that your actions will determine whether Archer Atalanta and Rider will clash.

To be fair, from a purely pragmatic perspective, you should be attacking Rider right now.

After all, Atalanta, who always calls you master, will definitely fight alongside you.

The combination of Archer and Saber is naturally no match for a single Rider.

【but--】

Looking at the Rider before you, you feel a strange sense of familiarity.

I've met her.

I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Ian's eyes gradually became cloudy.

Fragments of past memories flashed through my mind again and again—a chain reaction caused by the recent over-mana replenishment.

Sacred Lake, Sacred Sword, White Dragon.

Fragments of many images converged in the man's mind, eventually forming a name.

"Artoria?"

The words spoken at this moment were sharper than arrows, shooting straight at the girl standing at the entrance of the dojo.

Those eyes, as green as a deep forest, opened slightly at this moment, revealing the love deep within the girl's heart.

"Mr. Ian!"

Artoria, whose name was called, ran towards Ian.

At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the days she spent with him thousands of years ago.

I miss you so much... I really miss you.

"It's so good to see you."

The girl rubbed her cheek against his chest, as if she wanted to express all the grievances she had felt after parting from him forever.

Although the man's eyes showed some hesitation, he still pulled her into his arms.

She must need someone to comfort her, right?

"..."

Although she was somewhat unhappy that her master had hugged Rider, Atalanta felt inexplicably able to understand him.

Is she... looking for him too?

Ten minutes later.

After finally calming down, Artoria learned the somewhat cruel truth.

"Mr. Ian."

"You...can't remember anything from the past?"

“Hmm.” Ian nodded.

"Then how did you call out my name?" Artoria asked, puzzled.

"If you're asking this—"

Looking at the petite and adorable girl in front of him, Ian felt much better.

"I don't know how to explain it either."

"But the moment I saw you, this name came to mind."

"Perhaps—you are very important to me?"

"This……"

Artoria turned her head away, looking a little shy.

“Me too… Mr. Ian is also a very important person to me.”

"Wait a moment!"

Atalanta reached out and pushed Ian, who was Saber, and Rider to the sides.

"Are you... really that close?"

"..."

Ian didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

But Artoria admitted this very seriously.

"It's not just about being familiar!"

“I’ve already said it… Mr. Ian is very important to me! The most important kind!”

Artoria's decisiveness left the catgirl somewhat bewildered.

She spoke a few decibels.

"But if this happens—"

"This Holy Grail War has become quite strange, hasn't it?"

"Strange?" Artoria asked, puzzled. "What does this mean?"

“Well…” Atalanta looked at Ian.

"Does...everyone know him?"

"..."

"..."

Atalanta's words silenced both Ian and Artoria.

This is not an unrealistic fantasy.

At least for now, both Archer and Rider do know Ian.

If Lancer is included, the scope will expand further.

Realizing that this might be a very bad logical problem, Ian decided to temporarily drop the topic.

"so--"

"Artoria, you must have come here for another reason, right?"

"..."

Returning to her original intentions, Artoria looked at the man before her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Her lips trembled slightly, and finally she uttered words that sounded like a plea.

"that--"

“Mr. Ian, if possible.”

"Could you...could you come with me to see my sister?"

341. The decadent Morgan and his feelings that neither confession nor command seals could contain (4k)

"elder sister?"

Upon hearing Artoria's words, Ian looked puzzled.

"Rider, the older sister you're talking about is..."

"..."

The girl was taken aback at first, and then realized that Ian really couldn't understand what the word "older sister" meant at this moment.

For a moment, Artoria felt a mix of relief and heartache.

The girl was relieved that Ian could still remember his name.

This shows that even in this situation, he still reserves a place for himself in his heart.

What I feel sorry for is that he has lost his past memories.

He clearly tried so hard to achieve these things.

but--

Although she had such thoughts in her mind, Artoria did not express them.

Because she knew she wasn't there to cause him trouble, but to truly liberate her sister's restless emotions.

"that--"

"It's the teacher Vivian that you know."

"I... want to ask you to go see her."

"..."

Artoria's request was somewhat excessive.

【after all--】

In this Holy Grail War, your Master is Sakura Tohsaka, not Vivian.
