The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

[So you explained it in great detail, fearing that she might not understand.]

【But what you don’t know is. 】

[Vivian actually didn't listen carefully to what you said.]

【Her attention is now completely focused on your actions. 】

That's right.

This is who he is.

Only he would explain to himself the function of each flower like this.

Only he knows what he cares about when he looks at flowers.

Vivian thought so and covered her chest with her hands.

She felt her heart was beating at a furious pace, as if it would burst out of her chest at any moment.

The flame that symbolized hope was continuously emitting light, allowing the chilled witch to recover little by little.

"Well...if I just want to make the garden more beautiful, I would actually prefer flowers like spirea—"

After expressing his opinion, Ian looked at her beside him.

"Teacher Vivian, what do you think?"

"Eh?"

Vivian quickly turned her gaze away from the other person, and then responded as if she had listened to everything very carefully.

“I don’t know much about this.”

"But it sounds like what you said does make sense, and I totally agree with your point of view."

"Really?" Ian smiled calmly.

"That--"

"Teacher Vivian, is my explanation useful to you?"

"Or, if you think there is a problem, you can tell me."

"Of course it was too short." Vivian muttered softly, "I haven't seen enough..."

"what?"

"nothing."

Vivian restrained her emotions in time.

She looked at him in front of her, and the small flame of hope in her heart suddenly began to flicker again.

"That--"

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"Of course." Ian responded politely, "I will try my best to answer Teacher Vivian within the scope of my knowledge."

"You must know."

Vivian stretched out her hand and pointed at the dazzling array of flowers in the Tohsaka family yard.

"What do you think would happen if all these flowers were replaced with roses?"

Vivian didn't ask this question on impulse.

To this day, she still remembers the garden outside the Camelot Promenade that witnessed her and his love.

It was precisely because of this that she had subconsciously shouted out the "order" in her muttering just now, asking Ian to accompany her to appreciate the flowers.

If I remember it,

Then he must have some impression of it, right? !

With this thought in mind, Vivian said what she just said.

only--

Things were not as smooth as expected, but they were not as bad as expected either.

[Listening to Vivian's words, you find that a very familiar scene from the past seems to appear before your eyes.]

[That is exactly what she just described, "replacing these flowers with roses."]

[But you still can't remember where it is. ]

[And at the same time, you can't be sure whether Vivian mentioned this kind of thing intentionally or it was an accidental creation. ]

[You decide to hide your thoughts for the time being and choose to answer her in the most normal way. ]

Vivian was even more excited now.

Because she saw that Ian showed obvious hesitation when she asked those questions.

People (or should I say heroic spirits) will never hesitate without reason.

Either what I just said made him feel embarrassed;

Or maybe he thought of something and it just happened to match what he said.

Judging from the fluent response just now, it is obviously unlikely to be the first one;

So--

Now there is only one outcome left.

Ian did remember something, and then he fulfilled his request to replace all the flowers here with "roses".

You have to be more proactive.

After confirming this idea, Vivian pretended to be worried and stated her request to Ian again.

"that--"

"Did I say something too extreme?"

"Then... you don't have to answer me."

"Nothing." Ian shook his head. "I was just thinking about how to answer it better."

"Have you thought about it now?" Vivian asked hopefully.

"I'll just try to be nice. Please forgive me if I'm wrong."

Ian's tone became softer as his eyes scanned the flowers in the garden before him.

"Teacher Vivian, you may like roses very much."

"but--"

"I think this kind of environment is not suitable for growing roses on a large scale."

"But it's not impossible."

"Is there no way?" Vivian became a little uneasy. "What do you mean?"

"Oh, what I meant is—"

Ian's gaze shifted from the sea of ​​flowers to Vivian.

"If you really want to see the rose, I can convey your request to the Master."

"I think... it wouldn't be a problem to grow some."

"..."

A blush appeared on Vivian's face.

This was a level of importance she hadn't felt in a long time.

"Isn't that necessary?" The witch hesitated. "I... just mentioned it casually."

"A casual remark is a manifestation of a true wish."

Ian's voice was still so gentle.

"After all, even Wuxin would bring up such a thing, which means that you must have thought about it a lot, right?"

"From this perspective, I think it is necessary to achieve this."

"Besides -"

"You're Sakura's teacher."

"She will definitely be willing to fulfill your wish."

After hearing this, Vivian suddenly became more sober, and a bit of bitterness rose in her heart.

Once upon a time, he was so caring towards himself.

But...I lost all of that.

Now, he is so caring because of her identity as Toosaka Sakura's teacher, right?

"Yeah." Vivian nodded very reluctantly, "I understand."

"Then please tell Sakura."

"understood."

"..."

"..."

"By the way—" Ian took the initiative to speak, "Teacher Vivian, can I ask you a question?"

"Eh?"

Vivian felt a glimmer of hope again.

She was about to drown in despair, so naturally she had to do her best to grab this last straw.

"can."

"You can ask anything."

"That's great."

Ian thanked Vivian and continued politely.

"Why... do you think my name is Ian?"

"Is it because you have seen such a person somewhere before?"

"..."

Hearing this, Vivian felt her heart sink.

This shows that he may really not remember the past;

But on the other hand, this also shows that he approves of the name he said - after all, not everyone can accept a sudden name.

After hesitating for a moment, Vivian could only give an ambiguous answer.

"Because this name has a special meaning."

"Special meaning?"

"Yeah." Vivian nodded, and then explained carefully.

"The underlying impression given by this name is absolute loyalty and trustworthiness."

"I think... doesn't this suit you very well?"

Vivian was expecting a miracle to happen.

However, everything remained the same, except for Ian's thanks.

"I see, Teacher Vivian, thank you so much."

"..."

"Is this all you feel?"

Vivian, who had finally grasped hope, fell into despair again.

[You realize that Vivian seems to want you to understand something.]
