Some things are even harder to say.

“Morgan,” the man said softly, “what if—”

"If I wanted to end this tedious ritual completely with Sakura's generation, would you support me?"

"..."

Although Morgan was still very excited, it did not mean that she had completely lost her rational thinking.

She quickly realized that there was another hidden meaning in Ian's words.

Whether it ends or not doesn't really matter.

"Anyway, I guess I'll only participate in this kind of ceremony once."

"But Ian, you're different—"

The witch's tone became more serious.

"If you lose this time, you'll just disappear, right?"

sizzle.

The sparkler had burned to its last flame.

The shrine was plunged into darkness once again.

A silent stillness surrounded the two of them, quietly telling the story of the harsh reality—everything Morgan said was true.

“Morgan,” the man sighed, “I don’t think we’ll be able to win this time.”

"What do you mean by that?" Morgan asked, somewhat unconvinced.

Are you questioning whether I can help you win?

"Or... do you think Artoria wouldn't be willing to give you the chance to win?"

Yes.

Morgan had actually considered this as well.

If she were to actually win, Artoria would definitely give Ian the chance to make a wish.

This is why Morgan invited Artoria in the night Ian came to his door.

For this witch, she knew that her sister was doomed the moment she was summoned into the Holy Grail War.

If it were in the old days—

Morgan probably won't feel sad at all.

Now, she feels very sorry for this incredibly kind younger sister.

But all Morgan could do was let her enjoy Ian's company.

"..."

You realize that Morgan has indeed been quite out of sorts lately.

You told her everything exactly as it happened.

This is a necessary prerequisite for defeating the Caster Alliance.

"..."

After listening to Ian's story, Morgan's eyes became much more serious than before.

"Does Caster in this Holy Grail War actually possess such power?"

“That’s right.” Ian nodded.

"Morgan."

"To be honest, if the situation is really as Lancer Master Scáthach described, we probably wouldn't stand a chance of winning if we fought alone."

"..."

Morgan turned his face away and muttered something.

"You don't have to say you've teamed up with Scáthach—she tried to kill me and ended up hurting you too."

"That's all a misunderstanding."

Ian gently kissed Morgan on the forehead.

"If we don't unite... we'll probably be defeated one by one."

"..."

“While I don’t think we need to team up with her,” Morgan said after being kissed, “since you think so—we’ll worry about that later.”

Upon hearing this, the man smiled.

"Your Highness, you are indeed very sensible."

"Don't call me 'Princess' anymore!" Morgan pinched Ian's hand. "I'm your wife... not some princess."

"Hmm...that's true."

Ian hugged Morgan tighter, his voice full of joy.

"I never imagined my dream could come true here."

"..."

Morgan felt a pang of guilt—she should have reciprocated Ian's feelings thousands of years ago.

Feeling guilty, she quickly thought of another person.

"Speaking of which-"

"Ian, how are things between you and Sakura now?"

“…Not good,” Ian confessed. “I feel like she doesn’t want to see me again.”

"In that case——"

Morgan looked up and asked softly.

"Should I go and talk to her?"

“Eh, this…” The man was somewhat surprised.

“Don’t misunderstand,” Morgan added. “She is your Master—if Caster becomes too powerful later on, you will definitely be hampered without her help.”

“But then, Morgan, you’ll have to…”

"it does not matter."

Morgan looked up at the bright moon overhead and made up his mind.

"I made the mistake myself, so I should make up for it myself."

Morgan, who has "reclaimed" his real name from you, is preparing to confront Sakura Tohsaka.

She decided to bear all the consequences alone.

But things didn't go as she expected.

The next day.

There was a knock on the door.

Morgan, who was already unable to sleep due to anxiety, naturally couldn't ignore the sound.

only--

When she opened the door, Morgan was taken aback by the person standing outside.

Because it was none other than Sakura Tohsaka, whom he was planning to find.

She said:

"Teacher, can we talk?"

360. Sakura will never forgive Morgan / The Mark of an Eternal Sinner / The Final Link (4k)

"..."

Although I was prepared to face Sakura Tohsaka directly.

But when he actually saw his student standing in front of him, Morgan still found it difficult to meet her gaze.

Is it simply a matter of feeling guilty?

It's not just that.

Just looking at her like this evokes an indescribable sense of sadness.

To put it more specifically, Morgan saw his past self reflected in himself.

In order to achieve something, every conceivable means is used until everything is distorted to the point of being irreversible.

This is certainly not a commendable behavior.

but--

At this moment, Morgan knew she had no right to criticize Sakura Tohsaka.

After all, the witch's past actions were arguably even worse than those of this student who fell in love with her servant.

So at this moment, facing Sakura Tohsaka's gaze, Morgan felt extremely uneasy and was unable to respond at all.

But at the same time, Morgan knew he couldn't just ignore the other party.

Finally, she could only force a bitter smile and say, as if she already knew the answer, "..."

"Sakura."

Are you sure you're here to talk to me alone?

"..."

Faced with her former teacher's question, Sakura Tohsaka's eyes were filled with a mixture of indescribable emotions.

She glanced at the area behind Morgan, and spoke as if clinging to a last glimmer of hope:
