"I see."

"I won't be angry with Sister Luvia."

"That's good." Luvia felt relieved after getting Sakura Toosaka's promise.

"First of all, I want to remind you of something."

"The Holy Grail War and the like... that's something only country folk would do."

"what?"

Toosaka Sakura couldn't believe what she heard.

"Sister, what are you talking about??"

"The Holy Grail War... is something only country folk would do??"

"Yes." Luvia crossed her arms and looked serious.

"We've been in the Clock Tower for so long... Have you seen any magicians mention the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki?"

"Eh?"

After Luvia's reminder, Toosaka Sakura realized that this seemed to be the case.

The sisters, who had originally planned to stay for only a month, have now been here for a whole season.

During this period, only his teacher Vivian mentioned the Holy Grail War.

Even when she talked about it, she did so with caution and humility.

In a sense, it is exactly the same as what my sister Luvia said.

Is Fuyuki's Holy Grail War such a lowly existence?

No wonder she was worried that she would be unhappy after listening to it.

Seeing her stepsister Sakura Toosaka remaining silent, Luvia knew that she must have understood what she had just said.

Strike while the iron is hot, she immediately came up with a second reason.

"Xiaoying, besides this, there is actually another reason."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura, who had not yet recovered from the previous words, looked at her sister Luvia again, and her tone became much more cautious.

"What's the reason?"

"Hmm..." Luvia's attitude softened a little.

"According to the ancestral teachings handed down by our family, we, who have direct bloodlines, are absolutely not allowed to return to Japan."

"Of course, you don't have to think about such things."

"but--"

Luvia held onto Tousaka Sakura's shoulders, worry written all over her face.

"There is no way I can ignore this rule."

"After all, I am the future heir of the Edelfeldt family. If I take the lead in violating the ancestral teachings, the problem will be quite serious."

"That means even if I allow you to go to Fuyuki to participate in some Holy Grail War."

"I... can't go back with you, understand?"

"..."

If the former reason was that Luvia did not want Sakura Tousaka to participate in the Holy Grail War, which the Clock Tower considered a country folk ritual, for the sake of family reputation;

Then the latter one is purely out of her concern for her younger sister as an older sister.

Because of the family training that was passed down for unknown reasons, Luvia could never return to Fuyuki, let alone participate in the Holy Grail War.

This means that if Toosaka Sakura really wants to go back to join the war, she will basically be alone.

For Luvia, who has always cared about her stepsister, this is obviously an unacceptable situation.

"so--"

Luvia looked at her stepsister in front of her, and there was a hint of heartache in her eyes that only cared for her.

"Sakura, do you understand?"

"I'm worried something will happen to you."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura nodded.

"Well, I see."

[Although the idea has been put on hold for the time being because of my step-sister Luvia. ]

【But Tousaka Sakura did not give up on it. 】

[Or rather, her desire to join the war became stronger because of her sister's persuasion.]

late at night.

Lying in bed, Sakura Toosaka looked at the white curtains above the bed with a somewhat melancholy expression.

She still couldn't ignore the thought of joining the war in her head as her sister had said.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she asked in a low voice, "Air?"

"Mr. Ghost, are you there?"

"If you are here, can you please take care of me?"

In less than a second, Mr. Ghost's response came.

"Yeah...I'm here."

"Eh--?!"

Toosaka Sakura looked at the other side of the pillow, where the sound came from.

A cute rabbit doll was sitting there.

It is the little girl's favorite doll - now it is specifically used to refer to her favorite Mr. Ghost.

"Mr. Ghost, don't you need to rest?"

"In theory, it should be unnecessary." Mr. Ghost responded again.

"What's wrong? It's so late and you haven't slept yet."

"Are you thinking about something?"

"Ah."

Toosaka Sakura nodded.

She had no intention of hiding her thoughts in front of him.

"I'm still thinking about participating in the Holy Grail War."

"Hmm?" Mr. Ghost's voice was filled with doubt. "But didn't Luvia say she didn't support you doing this?"

"That's true." Toosaka Sakura did not deny what he said.

"but--"

“I still want to attend.”

"..."

"..."

The room fell into deathly silence.

After a long time, Toosaka Sakura took the initiative to break the silence.

"Um... Mr. Ghost, are you like my sister and don't support me in doing this?"

"What? I didn't say I didn't support you."

"Hmm?" Sakura Toosaka suddenly perked up after hearing this.

"If you support me, why didn't you say anything just now?"

"Oh... I was just thinking about how to help you."

"How can I help you?"

Toosaka Sakura held the rabbit doll's arm, as if Mr. Ghost was sitting there.

"That's right." Mr. Ghost confirmed what he had just said.

"Since you insist on thinking this way, then I should try to get you a chance, right?"

"Mr. Ghost!"

There were two blushes on Toosaka Sakura's cheeks - that was the joy she felt when she felt that the other person was on her side.

"Have you thought of any solution?"

"It's not really a solution." Mr. Ghost responded to Sakura Toosaka, "I just think you can ask Vivian for help."

"Teacher Vivian?"

"Yes." Mr. Ghost further confirmed his method.

"Since she was the one who suggested that you participate in the Holy Grail War—"

"I think she would be very happy to help you solve these problems, right?"

"Hey!" There was a glimmer of hope in Toosaka Sakura's eyes, "Mr. Ghost, what you said makes a lot of sense!"

"Since Teacher Vivian is so powerful, she must be able to help me persuade Sister Luvia."

"Yeah, you think so too."

"so--"

There was a hint of tenderness in Mr. Ghost's words.

"Go to bed quickly."

"When you wake up, go talk to Teacher Vivian. Maybe you'll find a solution."

"Yeah!" Toosaka Sakura nodded.

"Good night, Mr. Ghost~"

After saying this, the little Loli closed her eyes and began to rest happily.

But she soon opened her eyes again as if she had thought of something.

"Mr. Ghost, are you still there?"

"Here I am."

"Can I ask you one more quick question?"

"of course can."

"Then...I want to know what I am like in your mind?"

“…very cute.”

"Eh--?!"

After hearing this answer, Toosaka Sakura quickly wrapped herself in the quilt and curled up into a ball.

Then a vague "Goodnight again, Mr. Ghost" came out from inside.

And in the bed, the little loli Sakura Toosaka's face was already blushing.

Curled up in a ball, she kept repeating in her mind what she had just heard.

He...said I was cute!

[You don't know what Sakura Toosaka is thinking at this moment. ]

[But you can clearly feel that this Holy Grail War is not just her business. ]
