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

But Rin Tohsaka knew she wasn't qualified to directly oppose Vivian.

After all, if Ian really is her husband, then the person who crossed the line has become her sister.

Just shut up.

To avoid saying too much and making mistakes.

The journey was quiet. The car stopped at the foot of Yuanzang Mountain, and after dropping off the two sisters, it drove away.

But to Rin Tohsaka's surprise, Vivian wasn't the only one waiting there; Scáthach was also there.

"What are you doing...?"

Rin Tohsaka began to have doubts.

However, her concerns did not last long.

Because Scáthach walked directly up to Illya, then bent down and said in an unusually gentle tone:

"brat."

"I... I'll take you to see your mother."

"Okay, okay~"

After receiving permission, Scáthach took Illya's hand and walked towards the depths of Mount Enzou.

It was a very harmonious scene, as if the two people had a very good relationship.

"This……"

Rin Tohsaka was even more confused now.

Vivian, perhaps sensing her confusion, quickly explained:

"Don't worry."

“Scáthach already knows how to get her to see Irisviel—her magical talent is quite remarkable.”

"You don't need to be afraid, she and I will leave Fuyuki tomorrow."

"Leave Fuyuki?"

Rin Tohsaka realized what was happening.

"Vivian, did you and Scáthach actually hide in Fuyuki all year?"

"More or less," Morgan nodded.

“We have things to do—so we have to hide them.”

"Something important? What is it?" Rin Tohsaka pressed.

You'll find out soon enough.

Morgan's gaze fell on Sakura Tohsaka, who was standing to the side.

Her eyes held nothing but guilt.

"Sakura, how have you been lately?"

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka did not respond to her teacher.

After Ian left, she never wanted to talk to him again.

Morgan was not surprised.

Or perhaps it should be said that she had already anticipated this outcome.

"Ok."

"It seems you don't want to talk to me—but that's okay, I'll definitely give you what Ian gave me."

"Come with me."

The entire journey was speechless.

The Tohsaka sisters followed behind the witch of Britain.

But unlike Scáthach and Illya, the group's direction of progress was actually towards the base of the mountain!

Passing through the visual magic set up by the witch, they arrived at a huge void.

"W-what is this place?"

Rin Tohsaka never imagined that Mount Enzo had such a strange place.

“This is where the magic circle is set up,” Morgan, who was walking in front, explained. “You can think of it as the foundation for the Holy Grail to grant wishes.”

"In a sense, this can be considered the origin of the Holy Grail War."

"..."

Rin Tohsaka suddenly remembered something.

That was the decision he told her when she and Ian were having a secret affair.

He wants to end the Holy Grail War that has brought so much misfortune to the Tohsaka family for Sakura in this era.

Could it be that... Morgan is doing this for him?

Without time to hesitate, Rin Tohsaka immediately confirmed.

"Vivian, are you going to end the Holy Grail War completely?"

“That’s right.” Morgan nodded.

“But if that happens…” Rin Tohsaka’s expression turned somewhat sad, “you might never see him again.”

“But he wants to see this—” Morgan’s hands trembled. “I can’t let him down again.”

"..."

Rin Tohsaka was speechless.

It took her most of the day to finally ask the next question.

"Why don't you just destroy this place? Why did you call us here?"

"because--"

Morgan looked at the fragmented magic circle before him.

"I want Sakura to make a wish."

"Let me make a wish?" Sakura Tohsaka asked, somewhat surprised. "What do you mean by that, teacher?"

“The literal meaning,” Morgan continued to explain.

"This magic circle is the foundation of the Holy Grail, so it naturally has the power to grant wishes."

"Although the previous battles severely damaged this place, it may still be of some use."

Sakura Tohsaka remained silent for a long time before finally asking a question.

"teacher."

"You...aren't you going to make a wish yourself?"

"Of course I've had that thought."

"only--"

The witch stretched out her hand, and the dark cave was instantly illuminated by a blue light.

“Ian would definitely prefer you to make a wish.”

"Sakura, come with me."

"..."

Under Rin Tohsaka's silent gaze, the Clock Tower master and apprentice walked together to the magic circle.

Sakura Tohsaka sensed a familiar flow of magical energy—it was almost exactly the same as it had been a year ago.

My teacher wasn't lying.

This is the foundation of the Holy Grail.

"Teacher," Sakura Tohsaka said, looking at the dim magic circle, "does it still have the function of the Holy Grail?"

“I’m not sure,” Morgan admitted. “After all, it was already a mess before I even started to deconstruct it.”

"What if my wish is outrageous—won't you be angry?" Sakura Tohsaka then asked.

"No." The witch replied without hesitation.

"This is your wish—I have no right to interfere."

"..."

Sakura Tohsaka said no more.

She clasped her hands together and, in front of Morgan, sincerely expressed her wishes.

I hope—

“I can stay by Mr. Ian’s side forever.”

The remnants of the magic circle before them seemed to be responding to Sakura Tohsaka's prayer.

It flickered a few times and then returned to its original state.

Morgan was not angry at all when faced with such a wish.

Because the witch knew the other person's resentment and understood that she was already ill with longing.

Only by making such a wish could she continue to live with hope.

Ian, wouldn't you like to see a future like this too?

"Sakura, your wish remains the same."

"Isn't the teacher asking a question they already know the answer to?"

Sakura Tohsaka confronts Morgan directly.
