"Well, turn off the lights first."

Having said this, Ian turned off the desk lamp.

The room soon fell into darkness.

only--

Although they fell completely into darkness, the three people on the bed did not fall asleep completely.

They all have things that they cannot understand.

And the words just now lingered in their minds.

Finally, Atalanta couldn't hold it in any longer, and she was the first to speak:

"that--"

"Although it may seem a little inappropriate to say it now...but I still want to know one thing."

"What's going on?" Ian asked.

"that is--"

Atalanta recalled what her master Ian had said to her, and then directly raised the doubts in her mind.

"If according to what was said before, the man named Li Shuwen is a Servant."

"Then he should protect the bad Master named Kotomine Kirei well, right?"

"but now--"

"Kotomine Kirei is dead."

"Does that mean there is a more powerful Servant?"

"..."

【Atalanta has a point.】

【This is exactly what you are worried about. 】

[You realize that you should have a deeper chat with Toosaka Rin about this.]

[After all, this kind of unknown enemy is the most terrifying. ]

"Archer, you are right." Toosaka Rin, who also couldn't sleep, took over the conversation.

"As things stand, either Lancer did this, or Caster used some method we haven't seen yet."

"Of course it could be Assassin - but I think the one summoned by that bastard Kotomine Kirei should be Assassin."

"As for the rest... they are basically out of consideration."

Having said this, Toosaka Rin looked at Ian beside her.

She is now completely in awe of the man's strong attraction to the opposite sex.

Rider Altria, Archer Atalanta, and Berserker Ibaraki Douji all have an indelible trust in him.

Could this be some hidden Saber-class skill that has not been recorded yet?

"..."

The man did not notice the girl's gaze. He followed what she had just said, thought for a moment, and gave his opinion.

"If that's the case—"

"I don't think Lancer would do such a thing either."

"After all, Misaya doesn't seem like the type of person who would leave a dagger behind as proof after winning."

"..."

Although Toosaka Rin did not agree with Ian's attitude of directly denying Lancer's possibility.

But at the same time, she also knew that the man must have thought about it before making such a judgment.

There is no need to argue with him.

And really speaking——

Toosaka Rin also noticed something rather bad.

That is, until now, no one has discovered Caster's true identity!

"anyway"

Toosaka Rin looked at Ian and recalled the previous scene.

"The reason you observed Li Shuwen's Bajiquan so closely before was because you realized that he was a Servant?"

"That's not the case," Ian replied. "I just simply feel that... this kind of power is not what he should have at his age."

"But I didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this."

"Then we have nothing to worry about." said Toosaka Rin.

"With so many servants fighting against one Caster, they can't possibly lose, right?"

"Not necessarily." Ian responded very cautiously.

"If he can defeat Li Shuwen, it means that Caster is stronger than him."

"but--"

"It is impossible to predict what level this situation will reach, and we must not take it lightly."

"What should we do then?" After being reminded by Ian, Toosaka Rin became anxious.

"If they are too powerful, won't we have no chance of winning?"

“That’s the theory,” the man said.

"But no one knows the truth - we need more information now."

The man looked at Toosaka Rin.

"Perhaps I will have to borrow Atalanta from you for the next period of time."

“Her keen powers of observation are very useful in this situation.”

"..."

Toosaka Rin was stunned at first, then smiled and nodded.

"You make it sound like I'm being petty."

"Since there is a possibility that there is an overly powerful opponent, we should definitely unite and eliminate him."

"Archer, I will follow your instructions."

"Yeah." The man was relieved. "Now, take a good rest."

The room fell into silence again.

only--

After a while, Toosaka Rin found that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Obviously, I had evil intentions in the beginning to let him stay, but now he is so quiet...

Are we going to waste this opportunity?

No!

At least... touch him a little.

As Toosaka Rin thought about this, she felt her heart beating louder and louder, as if it would jump out of her ribs at any time.

She carefully passed the empty space that Ian had left for the comfort of the two girls beside him.

bumped into.

Toosaka Rin's eyes flickered—she felt her back pressed against the man's arm.

Although it was just a small piece, it was enough for her to experience what it meant to sleep in the same bed.

The voice that had appeared countless times arose once again in the girl's heart.

"Why wasn't it you who summoned Saber?"

If so -

Now there is no need to hide anything in front of him who cares so much about me.

He even brought his mother here. This guy is really...

The words in Toosaka Rin's heart sounded like a complaint, but there was an unconcealable curve at the corners of her mouth.

But at this moment, the girl suddenly heard a word in her ear.

"Rin, are you still asleep?"

That was Ian's voice.

He found himself!

Toosaka Rin suddenly felt ashamed - she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and went straight to rub against another man. No matter how she thought about it, it was a bit of an overstep.

But the girl felt that she should not miss such a moment.

Finally, she answered directly:

"Well, I can't sleep."

"Because it feels so hot."

After saying this, Toosaka Rin wished she could find a hole to crawl into - she actually said such words in front of her sister's Servant!

However, she really hoped that the other party could understand.

And in fact, Ian did understand.

Toosaka Rin soon felt his hand - it was a familiar place. Just a slight squeeze would make the girl blush.

But this time, Ian was not the only one who arrived there.

He also brought Toosaka Rin along.

If Ian was performing alone before, now he seems to be teaching.

"Ian, you are..."

Feeling that her hand and Ian's hand were cleverly overlapped somewhere, Toosaka Rin's voice became quite shy.

"I'll teach you how to do something like this," the man said seriously.

"Otherwise, you will be in an awkward situation in the future."

"..."

Toosaka Rin was silent for a long time before she responded reluctantly.

"Why do you sound like you're about to leave?"

"Not leaving." The man realized what he was thinking.

"But I think the Holy Grail War should end here."

"That's it?" Toosaka Rin was stunned for a moment, "Ian, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything stupid," Ian replied without hesitation.

"Rin, this kind of ceremony actually has no meaning at all, right?"

"Your father was killed, your mother became a widow, and your sister Sakura was sent abroad."

"Isn't the source of all this because of the Holy Grail War?"

"I want this ritual to end with this term - we can't let this tragedy continue."

"Rin, can you help me?"

"Ian you..."

Toosaka Rin never expected Ian to have such an idea.

And more importantly, the starting point he cared about most was all about the Toosaka family.
