The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Eh, this?!"

Hearing the confession coming from the scabbard, Toosaka Sakura suddenly became nervous and almost dropped the rabbit flashlight in her hand to the ground.

"You don't remember anything? Then... you are so miserable."

"That's right!" The little girl thought of something.

"Let me ask dad for you. He's very capable and will surely be able to come up with a good solution for you!"

Having said this, Toosaka Sakura immediately wanted to take action.

But the voice from the scabbard quickly stopped her.

"This isn't good for you."

"If I'm not mistaken... you sneaked out after hearing my call, right?"

"If they find out, they will scold you."

"Besides -"

"It seems like you're the only one who can hear my voice."

"I think even if you really ask them for help, I'm afraid you won't get any good solution, and it will only make you look weird."

[Your words accurately captured Toosaka Sakura's thoughts. ]

[She realized that asking her father for help was not really a good option.]

[But at the same time, she does want to help you. ]

"Then...what should we do?"

Toosaka Sakura was suddenly at a loss.

"Just tell me what to do... and I'll help you!"

"..."

The voice of the scabbard was silent for a while, and then gave its response.

"Then go and rest first."

"It's late. Let's discuss this tomorrow."

"Eh?!" Toosaka Sakura was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah."

"Then I'll put the box back first."

"Otherwise, if Dad finds out, he will definitely be unhappy."

"Yeah, reasonable."

With permission from the voice of the scabbard, Toosaka Sakura once again bit her rabbit flashlight and wanted to put the box back to its original position on the bookshelf.

But she seemed to have thought of something, so she paused for a moment and spoke carefully:

"that--!"

"Are you still there?"

"What's wrong?" A response came quickly from the scabbard.

"Nothing." Toosaka Sakura scratched her face, "I just felt... since you don't remember anything."

"Then I can lend you my name temporarily as a memory~"

"Tosaka Sakura...did you hear that clearly?"

"..."

【This kind of thing doesn’t make any sense.】

[But you realize that this is out of kindness from Sakura Tousaka. ]

[You know you have no reason to refuse it—after all, she really thinks it will help you.]

"Well, I'll remember it well, thank you."

"You're welcome~" Toosaka Sakura smiled happily, "See you tomorrow~"

"great, see you tomorrow."

【After resolving her "biggest worry", Tousaka Sakura left the study. 】

[On the way back, she found that the lights in her parents' room were off.]

【Everything that happened before seemed to have never happened.】

【But is this really the case? 】

【Tousaka Sakura herself is not sure.】

[The only thing I can do now is to go back to sleep. ]

[Maybe...everything will be fine after I wake up? ]

The night passed.

Toosaka Sakura woke up rubbing her eyes from a drowsy sleep.

She still remembered the agreement she had made with the Voice of the Sheath.

but--

The little girl has another thing to worry about.

Will Dad be in the study today?

If that were the case, there would be no way to sneak in.

[Fortunately, the situation that Tousaka Sakura was worried about did not happen. ]

[She came down from the second floor and soon found the note her mother left behind.]

[On it was written “Xiaoying, we are going out for a while and will be back soon” in neat handwriting. ]

[But Sakura Tousaka knew that even though her parents said they would be back soon, they would not show up until the evening.]

[This feeling is just like meeting someone once and spending a day with them.]

【But Toosaka Sakura doesn't mind. 】

[Because even though I can only see my parents in the evening, they will leave a lot of their favorite sweets for me in advance.]

【You can take this opportunity to enjoy a feast. 】

【and--】

【This is a great opportunity to fulfill the promise! 】

All problems have been solved.

Toosaka Sakura took action immediately.

She first found the sweets left by her parents in a familiar place, and then carried them to the study.

The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when I left last night.

Obviously, my father didn't notice me sneaking into the study.

This made Tousaka Sakura breathe a sigh of relief.

In no time, the little girl took the box down from the bookshelf again.

She took a bite of the sweets she had brought, then reached out her hand and touched the scabbard.

"I'm here--!" Toosaka Sakura shouted happily.

"It's really early." A response came quickly from the scabbard.

“I thought it would take a long time.”

"Hehehe~" Toosaka Sakura wiped the sweet stains from the corners of her mouth, "Mom and Dad aren't home today."

"So you can come in now!"

"By the way." The little girl looked at the ancient scabbard with anticipation in her eyes. "After sleeping all night, have you thought of anything?"

"..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of that." The voice of the scabbard answered truthfully, "I can't remember anything."

"That's it..."

Toosaka Sakura felt a little lost.

She thought that the other person would be like her and would be revived with full health after waking up.

Realizing that the little girl seemed a little sad, the voice in the scabbard quickly changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

"Sakura, can I ask you some questions?"

Toosaka Sakura didn't mind the Voice of the Scabbard calling her that. She nodded and responded very seriously.

"Sure, just ask!"

"Then--" The voice of the scabbard paused.

"What kind of existence am I in your eyes?"

"Eh?"

Toosaka Sakura looked at the scabbard in front of her, held the corner of her clothes and wiped its surface.

"It's the thing that holds the sword."

"..."

[Tousaka Sakura's description gives you a vague understanding of your own situation. ]

[You try to match it with your previous feelings and further confirm your situation.]

[The so-called box is actually the thing that holds the scabbard. ]

[And your consciousness is now on the scabbard. ]

[After figuring out these things, you don’t feel happy at all, but instead feel that everything has become complicated. ]

[What is hidden in those lost past memories? ]

[You really want to understand all this, but you find that the situation is not as simple as you imagined. ]

[You are silent. 】

[And once again, Toosaka Sakura mistook this silence for something she had said wrong. ]

"that……"

The little girl looked at the scabbard, which had not made any sound since she finished speaking, and her eyes became more and more worried.

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong again?"

"That's not the case." The voice of the scabbard responded quickly, "I just don't understand why it turned out like this."

"Can you... describe the whole process in a little more detail?"

Perhaps she saw this request as a way to resolve her inner anxiety, so Toosaka Sakura didn't think much about it and answered it directly.

She began to recall what had happened seriously.

"Well... first of all," the little girl said after sorting out her logic, "Dad took you down from the bookshelf."

"No, no!"

"It should be... taking down the box that contains you."

[You realize that Tousaka Sakura seems to have equated you with the scabbard. ]

[But you don't care about this kind of thing - after all, the other person is just a cute child. ]

【Besides, she really wanted to help herself. 】

"What happens next?" the voice from the scabbard asked.

"Then I saw you light up!" Toosaka Sakura gestured with her hands, "Blingbling~ It was so beautiful!"
