The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Mr. Ian, I know what you are worried about."

"But the situation is rather special—"

"Please ignore that order for tonight."

"..." Ian nodded, "I understand."

"An order?" Toosaka Rin felt as if she had heard something extraordinary. "What order?"

"nothing."

Toosaka Sakura avoided the topic very quickly.

"Sister, let's quickly ask Mr. Ian about what happened tonight."

"..."

Realizing that her sister was reluctant to talk about this matter, Toosaka Rin didn't dwell on it any further.

After all, it was hard to establish such a friendly relationship, and we cannot destroy it directly no matter what.

"I understand."

"..."

[Tousaka Sakura and Tousaka Sakura reached a consensus - they wanted to understand what happened tonight. ]

You didn't equivocate.

[You told them everything that remained in your memory.]

"This……"

After learning the situation from Ian, Toosaka Sakura seemed a little surprised.

"Mr. Ian, do you mean... Rider and Lancer are fighting tonight?"

"Right." Ian nodded.

"To be more precise, Lancer pretended to retreat and lured Rider to this area to attack."

"Wait a minute!" Toosaka Rin stopped Ian.

"In that case—"

"Your wound...was actually caused by Lancer?"

"Eh?"

Toosaka Sakura heard an analysis that was beyond her expectations - she still believed that it was Vivian who did it.

"Mr. Ian, is that so?"

"You can say yes, and you can say no," the man replied.

"What does this mean?" Toosaka Sakura was a little confused. She found that things seemed to be much more complicated than what she had witnessed.

"actually--"

Ian's tone became more serious.

"I think there are two Lancers fighting together."

"How is that possible?" Toosaka Rin immediately retorted, "In the Holy Grail War, you can only summon one Servant of the same class, right?"

"Rin, you misunderstood what I meant." Ian continued to explain.

"I don't mean that two Lancers were summoned - but that the person who is the Master of Lancer also has the fighting power to be a Lancer."

"otherwise……"

The man covered his shoulder, where he had just been pierced.

"It's absolutely impossible to cause this level of damage, isn't it?"

Servants are by no means fragile beings.

An attack that can cause damage to a Servant is a concept beyond imagination.

"..."

Toosaka Rin didn't dare to deny this possibility.

After all, she had just participated in the entire magic replenishment process and knew how much magic power was needed to make up for the damage Ian had suffered.

"Ian, you may be right."

"But in this case... wouldn't the actual strength of the magician who summoned Lancer be at the level of a Servant?"

“Is this really possible?”

"Then you didn't expect Vivian to participate in the Holy Grail War?" Ian explained very patiently.

"Many things cannot be measured by common sense."

"..."The man's example left Toosaka Rin speechless for a moment.

But he didn't dwell on it any longer—it wasn't important at the moment.

"Actually, regarding Lancer's Master, I think there is already someone who fits the bill."

"Who?" Toosaka Rin asked immediately.

"Linglong Pavilion Misaya." Ian responded to her.

"I think you all know this teacher's marksmanship - and she does have the intention to participate in the Holy Grail War."

"This can explain why no one has been able to defeat her in the past ten years."

"This is a combat capability comparable to Lancer. Ordinary people are certainly no match for him."

"If I'm not mistaken... we won't be able to see her again when school starts in a few days."

"..."

"..."

Another hidden truth was revealed. Toosaka Rin was a little surprised, while Toosaka Sakura was much calmer.

After all, she had already confirmed this with Ian once.

However, whenever Misaya was mentioned, Toosaka Sakura would think of her campus scandal, and then remember the two Command Spells she had cast on Ian.

She immediately changed the subject.

"So--"

"Let's confirm the situation further now."

"I summoned Saber, Mr. Ian."

"My sister is Archer."

"Misaya-sensei, it's Lancer."

"Teacher Vivian...it's Rider."

When she said the last name, Sakura Tousaka paused for a moment, and then asked the question that was on her mind.

"In that case——"

"Mr. Ian, why did you block Teacher Misaya's attack for Teacher Vivian at that time?"

"..."

[This is a question that cannot be avoided.]

[Although you know that it will probably make Toosaka Sakura unhappy, you still decide to confess everything. ]

[And as fate would have it, you were temporarily freed from the restrictions of the Command Seal by Sakura Toosaka because of Toosaka Rin. ]

[Your feelings for Vivian are clearly visible at this moment.]

"to be honest--"

Ian's thoughts returned to the moment when he blocked the bullet for Vivian.

“I don’t know why I chose to do this.”

"But... by the time I reacted, I was already in front of her."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura's eyes dimmed a little - she heard the full emotion in Ian's words.

"So... Mr. Ian, do you think that is your instinct?"

"Very likely." The man did not avoid the question.

"Anyway Sakura, this is the situation."

"I... don't want to hide anything from you."

Realizing that she had wronged Vivian in a certain sense, Toosaka Sakura's heart was tightly wrapped in jealousy and regret.

On the one hand, she felt that her words to Vivian at that time were a little too harsh - after all, she was still her teacher.

But on the other hand, she realized that Ian's attitude towards Vivian might be far beyond her imagination.

When did this feeling come about?

The girl's eyes became a little confused, but she couldn't find a suitable direction to think about.

And at this moment, the man's voice sounded again.

"Except for this——"

"Sakura, I actually have something else I want to tell you."

"Wha, what's the matter?"

Toosaka Sakura's voice became a little softer, for she was afraid of hearing something that would make her tremble again.

"that is……"

The man recalled the voice he heard when he was in a state of confusion.

"I think I may have regained part of my real name."

"What?" Toosaka Sakura was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Ian, do you remember who you are?"

"I haven't remembered it completely yet - but at least I know the name."

"..."

Hearing this, Toosaka Rin suddenly became nervous.

Soon, she took the initiative to speak:

"Well...if that's the case, I'd better stay away from it."

"I'm not suitable to know about the Servant's real name or something like that."

In the Holy Grail War, the true names of servants must be kept secret at all times.

After all, once the name is known to others, it is very likely that their weaknesses will be found.

thus--

Actively (or passively) learning the true names of other Masters' servants is quite hostile.

"It's ok."

Toosaka Sakura spoke up and stopped Toosaka Rin.

"Even if my sister knows my name...it won't be a problem."

"..."

Even after being pierced through the body once, Tousaka Sakura still believed in Ian's strength.

Realizing this, Toosaka Rin didn't say anything more, but just silently acted as a listener.

Ian was not vague and directly said what he felt in his blurred consciousness.

"King Lot."

"My name... should be this."
