Because of guilt, Vivian's voice even began to tremble.

"I...actually, I don't have anything to say."

"I just want to ask you one thing." The witch looked at the knight in front of her, "Do you...really want to tell Sakura about your confession to me?"

"Isn't this not good?"

[Just as Vivian said.]

[After waking up this morning, you, who had satisfied Vivian and Altria all night, directly expressed your intention to go back to Sakura Tosaka to make things clear.]

This is obviously a pretty radical decision.

[But neither Vivian nor Altria raised any objection to your choice.]

[They have already taken your words as an extremely important basis for action.]

"It's really not good."

Ian's tone became more serious.

"but--"

"If I don't tell you everything clearly, it would be like I don't care about Sakura's feelings at all, right?"

"I...can't do that kind of thing."

"..."

After hearing this, Vivian was silent at first, and then she smiled in appreciation.

"You still maintain your loyalty as a knight."

"You're overrated—" Ian replied, "I just did what every Servant should do."

"correct."

The man looked at Vivian in front of him, ready to take on everything alone.

"Vivian."

"If you feel uncomfortable doing this, you can also temporarily avoid it. I will talk things out with Sakura alone."

"..."

Looking at this extremely familiar way of handling the situation, Vivian was filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, he knelt in front of me like this and said loyally, "I can fulfill the princess's wish alone."

But the result is——

In order to fulfill his ideas, he was so willing to sacrifice his life that he bore all the consequences alone.

Vivian is no fool.

Having made a mistake once, she would never make it again.

"Do not."

"I want to face it with you." Vivian said so, and then held Ian's hand tightly.

“You don’t have to do this alone.”

"I... also have responsibilities that I must fulfill."

"..."

[Although you feel it is a little sudden, Vivian, who just accepted your confession, is willing to face everything with you.]

[But you don’t feel disgusted by this kind of thing.]

[You may even find yourself expecting this outcome.]

[Now, it has finally become a reality - this is a will comparable to the Holy Grail's summons. ]

"I understand."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard someone walking down the stairs not far away.

That's Toosaka Sakura.

Her sleep quality was not very good to begin with - not to mention that before this, Toosaka Rin's words had completely aroused the girl's expectations.

"Go get some sleep first."

"Wake up, maybe Ian will be back."

With this thought in mind, Toosaka Sakura would naturally wake up as soon as she sensed the slightest movement.

And the truth did give her a big surprise.

The moment she turned the corner of the corridor, Toosaka Sakura saw the person she had been thinking about.

That's Ian sitting on the sofa in the living room!

"Ian first..."

The girl's excited voice stopped abruptly halfway through her words.

Because she noticed that Ian was not sitting there alone.

Next to him was the person he was most worried about seeing and also the person who was most difficult to face - that was Vivian.

Toosaka Sakura's heart was filled with mixed emotions in an instant.

There is the surprise of meeting again;

There is also the fear that arises when seeing someone who is worried;

The two emotions intertwined together, forming an extremely bad feeling - just like putting duck eggs in the sweet rice dumplings and sprinkling white sugar in the salty rice dumplings.

"Teacher Vivian."

"Why...are you here too?"

Toosaka Sakura's tone sounded both frightened and displeased.

Under normal circumstances, Vivian felt that she would definitely be very angry - this attitude was a declaration of war!

She doesn't want to see herself at all!

but now.

Not only was the witch not angry at all, she could even understand Toosaka Sakura's behavior at that moment.

Or should I say——

She is still able to control her emotions and shout "Teacher", which is enough to show that she is still rational.

Just saying that.

Vivian didn't know how to answer the other party's question appropriately.

She always felt that no matter what she said at this moment, it would definitely hurt Toosaka Sakura.

But at this moment, Ian stood up and took all the problems on himself directly.

"Feel sorry."

"Sakura, I brought Vivian here."

"Can the three of us chat for a while?"

"..."

Although she felt her heart breaking, Toosaka Sakura also remembered what her sister said last night.

"Sakura."

"You have to be more confident - you and him have been in love for more than ten years."

"I understand."

Toosaka Sakura looked at Ian and Vivian in front of her and nodded.

"Then let's chat for a bit."

[You temporarily left the living room of the Tousaka residence. ]

[You came to a room - that's where you were summoned by Sakura Tousaka.]

【It all started from here and continues from here now.】

In a room somewhere in the Toosaka family's home.

"So this is the place."

Vivian looked at everything around her, and many scenes flashed before her eyes.

"It's been so long...unknowingly."

"Teacher, you really forget things easily."

Toosaka Sakura turned around and looked at the two people behind her, with a hint of darkness in her eyes.

“Obviously——”

"You asked me to perform the summoning in a place like this, right?"

"..."

Although Vivian knew that there was something else behind Sakura Toosaka's words, she didn't feel hurt at all.

When she looked at the students in front of her, it was as if she saw herself back then.

Stubborn and tenacious.

"Yes." Vivian nodded and smiled calmly, "It was indeed me who asked you to summon here - I once wanted to kill you right here."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura subconsciously took a few steps back.

Others may not know how powerful their teacher Vivian is, but she knows it very well!

"So, teacher, you are now..."

"Don't worry." Vivian shook her head. "That's a thing of the past."

"Right now, I... don't have any intention of fighting with you."

"Besides, I'll tell you the truth."

"There is only one person I really care about from beginning to end—"

Vivian held Ian's hand beside her and looked directly at her student.

"That's him."

"And one more thing—Ian confessed to me last night."

"..."

The expression on Tousaka Sakura's face suddenly went out of control - this was the situation she was most worried about, and now it had become an absolute fact.

"That's it..."

The girl staggered backwards, and if Ian hadn't grabbed her hand in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Sakura."

Ian held the girl in his arms, his hands shaking a little.

"I……"

"Mr. Ian." Toosaka Sakura's eyes were already filled with tears - there was both confusion and unwillingness in them.

"Haven't I already given you such an order? Why would you still..."

"Sakura, the curse isn't for this kind of thing."

Vivian walked up to Sakura Tohsaka, but she didn't feel victorious at all.

"Do you know how much pain he felt when he came to me yesterday with the curse?"

"If the person he confessed to wasn't me, he would have died there."

"Mr. Ian!"
