Ian, who had just been thanking Scathach for the opportunity, protected her at this moment.

"Teacher Misaya——"

"If that's the way it has to be, I think I'd better not go to the gun club."

"Please don't embarrass Lin anymore."

[You didn't say the rejection in a rush.]

[Indeed, accepting Linglongguan Misaya's invitation to join the gun club is an opportunity that cannot be easily missed. ]

[But you can clearly sense that Toosaka Rin disapproves of this. ]

【Besides this, there is another more important point. 】

[Since Toosaka Rin is so resistant. ]

[As your Master, Tousaka Sakura's reaction will definitely be more intense. ]

[Rather than causing all kinds of conflicts because of this, it is better to take the initiative to end this dispute. ]

[After all, even if you disguise yourself as the best person, if Sakura Toosaka doesn't think it's good, then it loses its original meaning.]

【You still know what is more important. 】

"..."

Scathach looked at Ian without saying a word.

As the queen of the Shadow Kingdom and the guardian of the passages inside and outside the world, she doesn't like to ask for help from others.

It's a pity though.

But if Ian really refused again, she would not try to keep him.

That is the Queen's bottom line, and it will never change easily.

"Okay." Scathach nodded.

"If you think it's appropriate to do so—"

"so I……"

"Please wait a moment!" Toosaka Sakura interrupted Scathach.

"that--!"

"Teacher Misaya!" The girl clasped her hands together in front of her chest, looking as if she was begging, "Please ask Mr. Ian to stay!"

"..."

Toosaka Sakura's tone was so sincere that Scathach didn't feel like she was teasing her at all.

Besides, to be honest—

If Ian could stay, it would definitely not be a bad thing for me.

After all, the offensive idea he just came up with was indeed very brilliant.

"So what happened?"

Scathach looked at Ian and put the choice of the question back in his hands.

"Are you going to stay or not?!"

"..."

Faced with this question, Ian's eyes fell on Tousaka Sakura.

The latter nodded.

"I understand." The man changed his tone again, "Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher Misaya."

Scathach secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She nodded, and then looked at the Tohsaka sisters beside her.

"That's all for today."

"I'll take him to see where he lives first - in case he doesn't know the way and that causes trouble."

"You guys shouldn't have any problems, right?"

"No more." Toosaka Sakura bowed slightly, "Teacher, thank you for your help."

"..."

Scathach didn't respond, but turned and left with Ian.

After watching the two of them walk away, Toosaka Rin finally expressed her doubts to her sister.

"Sakura, you actually let Ian leave with Misaya?"

"He's your Servant... Aren't you worried that something might go wrong?"

Hearing this, Toosaka Sakura smiled and shook her head.

"do not worry."

"I...absolutely trust Mr. Ian at all times."

"Besides -"

"He rejected Teacher Misaya just now because of me, right?"

"In that case, I can't be so petty and disrupt the original plan."

"Sister, am I right?"

"..."

After Misaya silenced herself, Toosaka Rin was silenced by her sister again.

She once again felt the incomparable trust between Tousaka Sakura and Ian.

This might be why she was able to summon Saber, but she unfortunately missed it.

It seems——

I have to consider other directions when it comes to the Servant I want to summon.

Toosaka Rin thought so and began to think about what class she should prepare for again.

But she found that she was not without gain.

At least……

Did he stand up to protect himself just now?

What an excellent Saber!

[You don't know the conversation between Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura. ]

[You were led by Reiryoukan Misaya into the depths of the private Hogunhara Academy. ]

[This is the residence she mentioned.]

That being said.

Although it was called his residence by Misaya of Linglong Pavilion, Ian felt that the situation here was not so good.

He could clearly feel that there were not many people around here, so he had to quicken his pace when passing by.

And Scathach seemed to have noticed Ian's thoughts.

She was walking in front and quickly asked, "You must be wondering why I live in a place like this?"

"Yeah." Ian did not hide his thoughts, "Because I always feel that you should live in some more upscale place."

"Oh? A more upscale place?"

Scathach was very interested in the answer Ian gave.

"What exactly does that mean?"

"Hmm..." Ian looked at Scathach's back for a moment, and then gave the answer again.

"For example, a place like a palace."

"Or maybe it's a castle somewhere."

"..."

Scathach was stunned for a moment, then turned around, looked at Ian and asked.

"You really think so?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "At least from my first impression, this is the impression you gave me, Teacher Misaya."

"..."

"Just call me Misaya." Scathach turned around, "Adding the word teacher or something always makes me feel like I'm much older than you."

"But the places you just mentioned——"

"I did live there for a while,"

"Really?" Ian smiled calmly, "Then my guess was pretty accurate."

"maybe."

Scathach's expression became a little complicated.

If possible, she actually didn't want to live in that kind of place at all.

The magnificent palace is nothing but the shackles of fate.

Just one glance and you're destined to a thousand years of lonely life.

[You have finally arrived at the place where Scathach lives. ]

【only--】

【You find that there seem to be many more problems here than you imagined. 】

No wonder two people have to live together - because the other rooms don’t even have doors!

The dusty stairs showed that this place had been abandoned for a long time and that Misaya had forced herself to move in here.

of course.

There is still basic water and electricity, but it is limited to a certain extent.

Standing at the door and looking around, you can see a shabby sofa and a coffee table, as well as a TV on the table that looks like it might turn into a snowy screen at any time.

Apart from these, the only relatively conspicuous possession is probably the refrigerator in the corner.

But even so, Ian didn't think it was worth much.

On the ground were various cardboard boxes and some props that had been damaged by members of the Gun Club - she seemed to be trying to repair them.

I don’t know what’s in the room inside, but judging from the situation outside, it doesn’t look very good.

Everything seemed to be in a state of disarray, but it also seemed to conceal some of Misaya's habits.

But she herself doesn't seem to care about this at all.

The teacher of the gun department put his hands on his waist and spoke as if giving an order:

"Ian, you will live with me for the next period of time."

"There should be no problem?"

"..."

"..."

"What's that look in your eyes?" Scathach seemed very unhappy. "Are you dissatisfied with the poor place where I live?"

"Whether it's close or not is secondary."

Ian frowned.

It was clear that he had many opinions at the moment, but he was still maintaining a fairly polite restraint.

"Mister Misaya, are you sure you don't want to clean up?"

"Clean up?" Scathach shook her head. "Isn't it good now?"
