In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

Mr. Ghost's thanks made Tousaka Sakura feel embarrassed.

She actually wanted to ask what he would choose to do if he could appear in the world.

But at this moment, a figure appeared at the corner of the corridor.

Then, she slowly walked to Sakura Tousaka's side and spoke with a somewhat resentful voice:

"Sakura, who are you talking to?"

"Um?!"

When her name was suddenly called, Sakura Toosaka was so scared that she turned around quickly and saw her teacher Vivian.

only--

Doesn't she look a little too haggard?

[Just like what Toosaka Sakura felt. ]

[Vivian's condition does not look right. ]

[She had dark circles under her eyes, and it seemed like she hadn't slept all night.]

[You realize this is more than just insomnia—she must be like this because of what happened yesterday.]

[You increasingly feel that things are not as simple as they seem.]

[But everything seemed to be hidden in the clouds, making it impossible to identify. ]

Toosaka Sakura also noticed this situation.

But what she cared about was something more direct—that was Vivian's condition.

The little Loli asked worriedly: "Teacher Vivian, what's wrong with you?"

"You feel... uncomfortable?"

"..."

An imperceptible emotion flashed across Vivian's brows.

But she quickly restrained herself and responded to her student Toosaka Sakura with a smile.

"Nothing, I just saw something that caught my attention."

"When I came to my senses, it was already morning."

Sakura Toosaka did not question the words of her teacher Vivian at all.

Instead, she became more worried:

"In that case—"

"Teacher Vivian, do you want to take a rest first?"

"I can come back later to learn magic!"

"..."

Vivian looked at Tosaka Sakura with a very responsible expression - she seemed to be in some extremely contradictory state now.

But in the end, she just shook her head.

"Do not."

"That's not necessary."

"Although I didn't get enough rest, this state did not affect my teaching."

"Sakura, don't worry."

"but--"

Vivian looked at the thing that Tousaka Sakura was holding tightly, and her expression seemed very confused.

"what is this?"

"Oh!" Toosaka Sakura remembered her mission today and quickly explained to Vivian, "Teacher, this is what my sister asked me to bring you!"

"Something for me?" Vivian was even more confused. "Why would you bring me something for no reason?"

"It's just that the teacher looked very unhappy yesterday... I was worried that maybe I acted too stupidly and offended the teacher."

Toosaka Sakura's voice became quieter and quieter.

"Then after I talked to my sister, she asked me to bring these things over."

"..."

Vivian looked at Sakura Tousaka in front of her and was speechless for a moment.

She realized that the little Loli in front of her did notice something yesterday.

but--

Shouldn't I just say that it was my sister who asked me to bring these things over?

This guy is really naive to a certain extent.

However, although she thought so in her heart, Vivian did not express it in her words and actions.

She bent down and took all the gifts provided by Luvia into her arms.

"Xiaoying, please go in first. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

"Hmm~"

[So, Tousaka Sakura followed Vivian into the room. ]

[You noticed that Vivian's reaction was a little different from usual.]

【She seems to be in a rather tangled state.】

[You can't tell for a moment whether this is good or bad for Tousaka Sakura. ]

Inside the office.

Vivian and Tosaka Sakura sat on the sofa.

On the table were two cups of steaming barley tea - this was something Vivian had specially prepared after their first meeting.

She took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile:

"I appreciate your kindness...but as for the gift giving, let's stop here."

"I don't need these things, and they will just go to waste in the end."

"Is that so..."

Feeling that her teacher really didn't like it, Toosaka Sakura quickly nodded.

"Got it. I will never do this again."

"That's good."

Vivian put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Tousaka Sakura.

"correct--"

"Have you heard that anyone in your family is going to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

"Holy Grail War?" Toosaka Sakura blinked, "What is that?"

"Hmm... a magician's way of praying."

“Everyone who comes to the Clock Tower will have some ideas in this regard to some extent - of course, whether to do it or not is another matter.”

Vivian didn't want to reveal her intentions directly.

The witch did not directly express her desire to have Sakura Tousaka participate in the Holy Grail War.

Instead, we should observe the attitude of this little Loli from another perspective - the Edelfeldt family.

As expected, Toosaka Sakura was completely unprepared.

"I do not know."

"Because Sister Luvia never told me such a thing."

Listening to Tosaka Sakura's answer, Vivian knew that she did not doubt her words, so she took this opportunity to put forward another hypothesis.

"Sakura, if every magus is likely to end up on this path."

"That--"

"Would you resist participating in the Holy Grail War?"

"Eh?"

This is a question that Toosaka Sakura has never thought about.

But she didn't hesitate for too long and gave her answer directly.

"that……"

"If I need to do this, I will accept it."

"But what if it's dangerous?" Vivian continued to ask.

"This one……"

Toosaka Sakura pondered for a while before answering her teacher's question.

“Then I guess I’ll do it.”

"After all, if everyone is doing this, then I don't want to avoid it either."

Hearing this, Vivian realized that Toosaka Sakura might be a very controllable person in nature.

With just a little bit of reasoning, he could make her follow his own ideas and participate in the dangerous Holy Grail War.

The thought in the witch's mind that had just been suppressed for a short time was rekindled once again.

Meet him!

Must meet him!

I must keep him by my side forever!

Didn't I leave Camelot just to use magic to find a way to get to the place where the fairies gather and bring him back?

Although that approach failed.

But isn't the Tousaka Sakura in front of us the perfect substitute? !

Of course, this is definitely not possible now - it is too absurd to let a child of a few years old participate in the Holy Grail War.

So until the right time comes, I have to continue training her.

Vivian had no idea that she had gone insane.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Toosaka Sakura looked at Vivian's expression and became a little worried.

"Oh... nothing."

The corners of Vivian's mouth rose slightly.

"Sakura, let's continue learning magic today."

"Good~"

The witch of old has been completely bound by the pain of the past, with only instinct driving her body's actions.

She will intervene in a Holy Grail War at the right time.

【You don’t know all this. 】

[You just feel like something is wrong with Vivian.]

[But seeing how Tousaka Sakura was being taught by her seriously, you decided to ignore this abnormality. ]

【At the same time, the undercurrent of the Fourth Holy Grail War continues to surge. 】

In the boreal forest of Zugspitze, Germany.

A huge castle stands deep within it.

A man named Emiya Kiritsugu came here.
