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

The four of them quickly quieted down and silently watched Scáthach.

Clearly, this is to find out why she pulled out the Gae Bolg Alternative.

Scáthach, of course, understood what was going on, and she explained it directly.

“My Gae Bolg Alternative will always hit its mark once it is fired.”

"No matter how agile the opponent is, they will never be able to escape this attack."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka was the first to realize—because there is a similar theory in Bajiquan.

"Scathach."

"So, according to you, Caster shouldn't have been severely injured?"

"After all, your Gae Bolg Alternative is bound to hit, isn't it?"

"With Lancer fighting alongside you, you should have achieved some results."

"..."

Scáthach nodded, but showed no sign of being understood.

On the contrary, her expression became even more serious.

"Yes."

"Logically speaking, even if Lancer and I can't win, we should at least be able to inflict some damage on the opponent."

"After all, no matter how you look at it, this is an attack that will definitely have an effect as long as it is launched."

But the problem is—

Scáthach looked at the Gae Bolg Alternative in her hand with a complicated expression.

"At that time, it did not hit Caster."

"..."

A silent atmosphere instantly filled the living room.

Except for Ilya, who was completely oblivious to what was going on, everyone knew exactly what Scáthach meant by those words.

Her Gae Bolg Alternative was neutralized!!!

"Scathach."

Ian couldn't believe it.

"You...you might have made a mistake?"

“I’m not mistaken,” Scáthach said, meeting the man’s question directly.

“Ian, I did not manage to attack Caster—even with Lancer’s assistance.”

"..."

Scáthach rarely admits to her failures.

Even when she was defeated by you under the alias Misaya, she still struggled for a long time before accepting it.

But now she directly admits that her Gae Bolg Alternative is ineffective against Caster.

This means she must have tried all sorts of methods.

You realize that the Caster she faced that day was probably far more terrifying than you had imagined.

The living room fell into a deathly silence.

But at that moment, Sakura Tohsaka seemed to have thought of something.

She looked at Scáthach and asked a question that was somewhat aggressive.

"That--"

"When you fought Caster, did you also launch a surprise attack from the shadows, just like before?"

"..."

Scáthach's expression turned somewhat awkward.

But she knew now was not the time for her to dwell on these things.

The Queen of the Land of Shadows shook her head, denying Sakura Tohsaka's statement.

"Do not."

"This time... it's a fair fight—or rather, an unexpected encounter."

"After all, I never expected to meet Caster before this."

"In that case——"

Sakura Tohsaka's gaze fell on the Gae Bolg Alternative in Scáthach's hand, and she revealed her thoughts.

"Is it possible that the other party knew about your gun beforehand, and then set up a magic trick in a specific place, ultimately causing it to be nullified?"

"..."

Scáthach paused for a moment.

She felt that the trap Sakura Tohsaka was talking about seemed familiar.

Wait a minute, isn't this the strategy I used before?

"Now that you mention it... it's not impossible."

“If that’s the case then—” Sakura Tohsaka continued to express her thoughts.

"This time we need to adopt a different, more passive approach."

"A passive approach?" Scáthach asked, somewhat puzzled. "Then how do we defeat Caster?"

"Wait for him to come by himself."

Morgan, who had remained silent until now, revealed his student's thoughts.

"As long as the corresponding magic is set up somewhere in advance, and then the news is spread to the outside world in a way that Caster can detect it."

"Given the current situation, he will definitely come knocking on our door."

"In this way, we can take the initiative and not worry about our magic or the Noble Phantasm of our Servants being nullified."

"If we want to be on the safe side, we can even set up some widely applicable magic-based spells in advance—that way, we can further weaken Caster's strength."

"Sakura."

Morgan looked at his students and smiled slightly.

"Is this what you meant?"

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Yes, what the teacher is saying is exactly what I was thinking just now."

Scáthach thought for a moment, then had a new question.

"Then according to your logic—"

"We need to find a suitable battlefield."

"Have you... already decided on a location?"

"Of course it's where Mom is!"

Illya, who was sitting on Ibaraki-dōji, suddenly spoke at this moment.
