[You noticed that Vivian was not in good condition. ]

[For some reason, you feel your heart starting to feel uncomfortable as well. ]

【But due to your current status, you did not express that feeling directly.】

[You bent down, leaned close to Tousaka Sakura's ear, and whispered your thoughts to her. ]

You hope this will have some effect.

"Eh?"

After hearing what the materialized ghost said, Toosaka Sakura looked at her teacher Vivian.

As expected, she noticed an expression on her teacher's face that she would never normally have.

She looked as if she was in some kind of despair. Her beautiful eyes were dull and lifeless, without a single ray of light.

Toosaka Sakura was a little nervous.

She thought she had done something wrong, so she quickly waved her hands.

"teacher?"

"teacher!"

"teacher?!"

After shouting three times, Toosaka Sakura finally brought Vivian back from the abyss of despair.

Vivian turned her head away, forced a smile, and answered Toosaka Sakura:

"What, what's wrong?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking Teacher Vivian this question?"

Toosaka Sakura's eyes were filled with worry.

That is the student's heartfelt concern for his mentor.

"The teacher doesn't look very well."

"What did I do wrong?"

"..."

As soon as she said this, Vivian realized that her reaction just now was seen by her student Toosaka Sakura.

Out of her dignity as a teacher and to conceal her true thoughts, she tried her best to hide her inner emotions.

"Nothing."

"It's better to say that you did a great job...it's far beyond my imagination."

"Yeah?!"

Hearing this, Toosaka Sakura took the hand of the knight next to her and happily asked him for credit.

"Did you hear it?"

"The teacher said——"

“I did a great job!”

“Oh…I see.”

The knight's words were full of affection for the girl.

Or rather, this is a habit he developed over the past ten years.

He felt so sorry for this sensible girl that he unknowingly showed her a bit more genuine concern.

"That's great."

"Hmm~"

Toosaka Sakura smiled at the compliment.

This was the happiest time she had ever laughed.

after all--

The ghost who had been with him for more than ten years really appeared beside him at this moment.

Nothing could be more exciting than this.

But what Sakura Toosaka didn't know was that the closer she was to her ghost, the more Vivian felt the fire of jealousy burning in her heart.

No.

Absolutely not.

Not at all.

He is my——!

No one can change this!!!

Vivian's hands gradually began to glow blue - a sign that the spell she had prepared in advance was about to take effect.

But at this moment, Toosaka Rin's behavior ended an emotional disaster.

"Wait a minute!"

The girl with twin ponytails came up to her sister, pointed at the knight with a look of surprise, and asked, waving her hands up and down.

"What is this?!"

"How did you summon him?!"

"Eh?"

After being asked this by Toosaka Rin, Toosaka Sakura calmed down a lot.

She let go of the knight's hand and responded to her sister, Toosaka Rin.

"Sister, didn't you see everything?"

"I just put the appropriate relics into the summoning circle and summoned him out."

"How is this possible?!" Toosaka Rin became even more anxious, "It's not like I haven't tried this method before!"

"Have you tried it?"

Toosaka Sakura's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"Sister, do you already regard it as your own?"

"..."

Toosaka Rin was somewhat frightened by Toosaka Sakura's appearance at this moment.

She turned her face away, avoiding her sister's gaze, while explaining.

"Sakura, that's not what I meant."

"Think about it... this thing was left by my father!"

"If I could summon a Servant—"

"Then Mom must know something, right?"

"But until now, she hasn't said anything. Doesn't this prove that this sword is useless?"

Toosaka Rin doesn't want to reveal her intention to participate in the Holy Grail War for the time being.

After all, she is strong-willed by nature and doesn't want others to know that she has not yet been able to summon a suitable servant.

Although...her explanation was pretty lame.

The two girls from the Toosaka family seem to be almost equally weak when it comes to lying.

"What you said does make sense..."

Sakura Toosaka, who has learned a lot of magic knowledge from Vivian, already has some general ideas about the Holy Grail War.

She realized that what her sister Toosaka Rin said was basically correct.

My father participated in the Holy Grail War.

If this weapon could really summon Mr. Ghost, he would have disappeared from his side long ago.

But now that is clearly not the case.

It seems... there are some hidden secrets that I don't know.

"See! You feel the same way, right?!"

Toosaka Rin supported her hips with both hands and looked at the knight in front of her.

It seems that because of the different growing environment, her personality is completely opposite to that of her sister, and she is more straightforward.

"I said--!"

"Since you have been summoned by my sister, you should at least introduce yourself, right?"

"It will be difficult for you to gain the Master's trust if you behave like this."

"..."

The knight looked at Tousaka Sakura, who quickly waved her hands;

"Nothing!"

"Mr. Ghost, even if you don't tell me your name, I will definitely trust you."

"But——" Toosaka Sakura's face turned slightly red.

"If possible, please tell me your name, Mr. Ghost!"

"That way... it's even better!"

"..."

[You really want to answer this question from Sakura Toosaka. ]

【But you don’t know how to answer. 】

[Although you were indeed summoned by her——your memory did not recover. 】

[You are still Mr. Ghost, but you have a solid body. ]

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

Sakura Tousaka realized that the situation didn't seem to be getting better - her ghost gentleman still didn't remember her name.

She really wanted to say something to ease the awkwardness, but she couldn't think of any good words.

But Toosaka Rin who was standing by didn't know any of this.

The girl's intuition told her that there seemed to be something wrong with the Servant in front of her.

She put her hands on her waist and spoke her mind frankly:

"Hmm... the thing my father left behind is the scabbard of the Excalibur Galatine."

"Since you were summoned, then you should be its master."

"According to historical records, your identity is... Gawain, the Sun Knight?"

"Gawain?"

Hearing the name, Toosaka Sakura looked at the knight in front of her.

Although there was no evidence, the girl's sixth sense instinctively told her that this was not a suitable real name for Mr. Ghost.

"It's not Gawain, it's Ian." Vivian suddenly spoke at this time.

Everyone's attention was attracted by this mature older sister.

"Vivian, how did you know this?" Toosaka Rin asked in confusion, "This name has never appeared in history, right?"

"At least not in the version I know of."

"Yes, that's right."
