The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"I'm going to go find Teacher Ian!"

This hurried look made the students more enthusiastic about the discussion.

After all, Ian and Misaya already have a pretty close relationship, and now there’s a teacher who cares deeply about him.

How could there not be gossip?

"Hey, hey! Did you see that today? Teacher Ian ran around holding Teacher Misaya for a long time!"

"Of course I saw it! Is this a resurgence after the breakup?"

"It's hard to say... but looking at the way they are holding hands, their relationship must be better now!"

Atalanta ignored the rumors from her students.

She just wanted to find out what was going on between Ian and the Master named Misaya.

"Master... Teacher Ian."

The little cat girl looked at her owner, then looked at Misayo who had changed into casual clothes and looked much prettier, her expression seeming a little confused and puzzled.

"This is how the same thing……"

Ian glanced at the students who were talking nearby and realized that this was not the right place.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

[The three of you have come to the outside of the dojo - this is now a place where students cannot disturb you.]

【You told Atalanta the truth.】

【This Archer was shocked. 】

"This……"

Atalanta looked at Scathach, her cat's tail standing up.

"Are you saying that Caster not only killed Assassin, but also Lancer?"

"Yes." Scathach nodded.

"I don't want to admit this defeat, but it is true."

"I'm afraid that Caster and his Master are more powerful than any of us could imagine."

"..."

Atalanta's cat ears stood up.

She actually didn't have much desire for this Holy Grail War.

It would be best if we could win victory for our Master, Toosaka Rin.

but--

She would actually be fine with it if Ian could win.

But now, suddenly there appears a Caster whose strength is far superior to that of other servants.

Whether it is Lin or Ian, their chances of winning will be greatly reduced.

"What should we do?" The little cat lady couldn't help but ask.

"There's nothing we can do right now," Ian confessed his situation.

"So I have to take Scathach back with me to discuss with Vivian and the others what to do next."

"Atalanta."

"I'll leave the security of Rin and Sakura here to you, as well as the scouting of the surrounding areas—"

"..."

Although she wanted to do more, Atalanta knew that given the current situation, being able to accomplish this was a great achievement.

She nodded and replied:

"I understand."

"Master, you can go without any worries!"

Say goodbye and leave Private Hogunhara Academy.

Scathach and Ian headed towards the Tohsaka Mansion where Vivian was.

On the way, the Queen of Shadow Kingdom couldn't help but ask:

"Ian, why does Archer call you master?"

"…It's complicated to explain." Ian frowned.

"Oh, so that's what you like, right?" Scathach summed it up.

"That--"

"Owner?"

"..."

The man didn't know how to respond for a moment, but Scathach started laughing.

"Hmm? Have I finally found the moment that makes your heart flutter?"

"Scathach, don't joke like that." Ian was a little helpless, "Now is not the right time."

"I know it's not appropriate now." The Queen of Shadow Kingdom took Ian's hand and said softly.

"But I just want you to be less tense. Caster isn't the only enemy you have to face."

"……you're right."

[You and Scathach returned to the Tousaka mansion. ]

【You encountered an unexpected situation. 】

Click, the door opened.

As soon as he entered the room, Ian saw Vivian sitting on the sofa, covering her hands and blowing into them.

Her hair was messy and her clothes were not tidy, and she looked very disheveled.

"Vivian, what are you doing..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Vivian turned around and saw Ian.

only--

The moment their eyes met, Vivian instantly looked away.

She didn't even notice that there was another woman standing next to Ian, and she just stood up and walked inside, looking like she was afraid to see him.

In this situation, not to mention Ian, even Scathach felt something was wrong.

"What's going on here?"

"Did I disgust her?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"If that's the case... I think she would be very angry with you right now."

"..."

Scathach really couldn't deny this.

She remembered that her Gae Bolg Alternative was originally intended to stab this woman.

But later, because of Ian, it became a sharp weapon to stab him.

"Then why does she have this attitude..." Scathach muttered, "If it were me, I would be very happy to see you, right?"

"..."

Ian didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.

At this moment, Altria walked out from the side, muttering something.

"Sister, you..."

The girl stopped talking halfway.

Because she saw Ian and Scathach.

"..."

Altria's expression became extremely complicated.

Ian was the one she wanted to see;

But this person named Misaya is not like that!

The man, realizing that she might have had some misunderstanding, immediately began to explain.

"Lily."

"Don't get excited yet—Scathach isn't here to cause trouble."

"She is our ally now."

"ally?"

[You told Altria exactly what happened.]

【You prevented a misunderstanding from happening. 】

[But like Atalanta, Artoria also seemed very surprised. ]

"Lancer... was defeated by Caster?"

Altria gasped.

Compared to Archer Atalanta's speculation, as a Rider, she had actually fought against Lancer.

The girl could confirm that if the opponent's martial arts were used normally, he would be able to perform well in this Holy Grail War.

but--

He actually defeated him directly now?

No.

To be more precise, should it be that the Master was defeated together with him?

In this way, the strength of Caster, whose identity is not yet known, will probably have to be raised several levels.

"Yes." Scathach recalled the scene at that time with some helplessness, "Caster might know how to target any Servant."

"At least at that time... I was unable to find a suitable way to fight back."

Scathach was still a little unconvinced in her heart.

After all, as the queen of the Shadow Kingdom, she actually doesn't want to lose to others.

but--

The other party was so well prepared.

Scathach could conclude that this Caster had made more preparations than she had in the past ten years!

"so--"

Ian looked at Altria in front of him and gently stroked her head.

"I need to discuss these matters with Vivian immediately."

"But why did she run away when she saw me?"

"Hey, this..."

Altria's expression turned awkward.

"I think my sister probably thinks she is too embarrassed to face you?"

"Are you embarrassed to face me?" The man frowned slightly. "What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"because--"

Altria looked back in the direction she came from.
