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

Solomon stretched out his hand toward the sky, letting the blood, along with the tears in his eyes, drift away on the night wind.

"To exhaust all one's strength to accomplish the impossible."

“I finally felt that possibility—the limit that humans can reach, apart from the gods.”

"I want to witness the future it reaches."

“Ian Pendragon—we will meet again as human beings.”

"At that time, let me watch over you as you fulfill the impossible vision."

364. Sakura's love will never fade away (End of Volume Nine)

This is the story after you disappeared.

Everyone's fate has been subtly altered.

The future is gradually becoming clearer.

Inside the Tohsaka mansion, the sound of a news report came from a television.

"The restoration project of Yuanzang Mountain is nearing completion, with vegetation coverage reaching over 70% - we will continue to report on the progress."

A single beep.

Rin Tohsaka turned off the TV and looked at Sakura Tohsaka on the other side of the sofa.

She sighed:

"younger sister."

"I can't believe a year has already passed... Time really flies."

Just as Rin Tohsaka said.

A full year has passed since the night the Fifth Holy Grail War ended.

Rin Tohsaka, who completely handed over the Command Seals to her younger sister, had no idea what would happen in the end.

The only thing she could personally experience was the completely burning Mount Enzo and the shaking that felt like an earthquake.

This is definitely going to be a very intense battle.

after all--

Although Mount Enzang is not a large mountain range, it is by no means a place that can be easily shaken!

Having survived that battle, Rin Tohsaka felt she had used up all the luck she had in her life.

But in response to her sister's sentiments, Sakura Tohsaka simply nodded and replied with an "Mm".

She then turned her head and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the scabbard of the Excalibur Galatine.

That was a sacred relic that her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, had painstakingly obtained, and it has now become part of the family's heritage.

Sakura Tohsaka wiped it very carefully, even to the point of being overly meticulous.

Seeing her like this, Rin Tohsaka clutched her chest, feeling very sad.

"Sakura."

"You... still can't forget Ian?"

“Mm.” Sakura Tohsaka nodded.

"Sister, you've asked me many times already—don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Hearing this formulaic reply, Rin Tohsaka remained silent.

Because in the past year, she had heard this sentence countless times from her sister.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

But how could I not worry?

Wiping the sword sheath three times a day is almost like saying good morning, good afternoon, and good night to him.

If it weren't for considering her mother Zenjou Aoi's feelings, Rin Tohsaka felt that she might have taken special measures long ago.

How can we help her get through this?

The young lady of the Tohsaka family spent a year without finding the answer to the question.

Just then, a small figure appeared at the doorway.

That's Ilya.

After the Fifth Holy Grail War, she was adopted by the Tohsaka family.

Just as Rin Tohsaka had predicted, her mother, Aoi Zenjou, did indeed like the child very much.

During this year, Ilya fully integrated into her new family.

of course.

As Irisviel had warned her before, she, having undergone the transformation, would no longer grow up.

But it doesn't matter.

Who wouldn't love a cute little child?

Knowing she shouldn't show her sadness in front of Illya, Rin Tohsaka forced a smile and then asked:

"Ilya, what's wrong?"

"Sakura-neechan's phone is ringing~" Ilya pointed to the room inside.

"this--"

Rin Tohsaka looked at her younger sister beside her.

The latter didn't say much, but got up from the sofa and walked towards the room.

"I'll go pick it up."

"Eh...oh."

Although it was only for a moment, it was a good thing that his sister was able to temporarily leave the scabbard.

Rin Tohsaka breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then became worried again.

What should we do to make our sister fully recover?

If possible, Rin Tohsaka would be willing to offer a gem as a reward in exchange for the answer to this question.

however--

Before Rin Tohsaka could come up with an answer, a new problem arose.

Sakura Tohsaka quickly came out of the room, but her expression was somewhat serious.

Realizing something was amiss, Rin Tohsaka quickly asked:

"Sakura, whose phone is that...?"

You look very uncomfortable right now.

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka remained silent, seemingly contemplating whether or not she should tell her older sister what had happened.

But in the end, she still said it.

"elder sister."

"Teacher...let us go to Yuanzang Mountain now."

"what?"

After half an hour.

On the taxi heading to Mount Yuanzang.

Ilya looked at the scenery outside the window with a happy expression, and she seemed very excited.

Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka cautiously began to speak to Sakura Tohsaka beside her.

"Sakura."

"Why did Vivian suddenly contact you—haven't you two not been in contact for almost a year?"

"What do you want to do now?"

Just as Rin Tohsaka said.

Since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Sakura Tohsaka's teacher has seemed to have vanished into thin air.

At first, Rin Tohsaka thought she had died that night.

But later it was discovered that her younger sister, who was with her, had survived, so it was unlikely that she would have had any problems.

Thinking about it this way, it's more likely that he's going to do something.

Thinking back to what had happened before, Rin Tohsaka began to be cautious, but she quickly realized that there was no need to do so.

After all, if Vivian really intended to take action—this level of vigilance would be completely useless.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and this is the first time the Tohsaka sisters have contacted her.

"I am not sure."

"but--"

Sakura Tohsaka stared at her phone, which had a rabbit pendant attached to it, and her fingers began to fidget restlessly.

"She said there were some things Mr. Ian had instructed me to give them to her."

"..."

Rin Tohsaka dared not speak again.

She knew better than anyone the complicated relationship between her own sister and Vivian.

However, the young lady of the Tohsaka family had no idea how to get involved.

Of course she wanted her sister to be happy—after all, to put it immorally, she could occasionally sneak a bite of Ian's food.
