After saying this, without waiting for Zenjo Aoi's response, Waver wanted to leave here directly and go out to bring Toosaka Sakura back.

But before he could take two steps, Vivian stopped him.

"No need to go, Weber."

"Eh?"

Waver turned around and looked at his colleague with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why not?"

“…It’s complicated to explain.”

Vivian glanced at Zenjo Aoi who was still sighing.

“But anyway, you don’t have to go.”

"Give Sakura some time... I believe she will recover on her own."

"..."

Although he didn't know why Vivian had the confidence to say such a thing, Waver vaguely felt some kind of emotion.

This colleague from the Clock Tower seemed to have experienced a very similar situation, so he felt a deep resonance with her.

Why does it feel like everyone has a story?

Realizing this, Weber became a little depressed.

And Vivian didn't care about his feelings.

She stared at Zenjo Aoi.

Some things just require a little help.

【Tousaka Sakura left Fuyuki's house. 】

[But it's just as Waver thought.]

[Because she was too young when she was sent away.]

[So she doesn't know much about the road conditions in Fuyuki City (even around her home).]

[In the end, Tousaka Sakura just came to a park near her home and sat on a somewhat shabby swing. ]

【You, who witnessed everything, realized that she had emotions. 】

It was winter and there were many snowflakes floating in the sky.

They slowly fell to the ground, as if trying to cover up everything in the past.

But just as snowflakes will eventually disappear and leave the ground bare, memories of the past will quietly come back in those unintentional moments.

Toosaka Sakura cried again.

This time, she didn’t cry because of the emotion she felt when she reunited with her mother;

She just found it all too hard to accept.

"Sakura."

Mr. Ghost's voice rang in the girl's ears.

"Why are you crying?"

"When you cry like this, I feel uncomfortable too."

"Eh?!"

Mr. Ghost is the person Sakura Toosaka trusts most in this world.

His words soon had an effect on her.

Toosaka Sakura quickly wiped away her tears with her hands, then turned her face away and spoke softly:

"Didn't cry."

"Mr. Ghost, you are wrong!"

"Haha." Mr. Ghost's laughter echoed in Toosaka Sakura's ears.

His voice was a little softer than before.

"Sakura."

"My silence does not mean I am not here."

"Don't forget that I have always been by your side. There are many things you can't hide from me."

"If you cry, you cry...there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura was silent for a while, then nodded.

"Yeah...I did cry."

"Very good." Mr. Ghost affirmed Toosaka Sakura's behavior.

"So--"

"Now tell me why you are crying."

"Hey, this?!"

Faced with this question, Toosaka Sakura felt more and more embarrassed.

"Mr. Ghost, do you really have to know this?"

"Huh? You think you can't tell me?" Mr. Ghost replied.

“But I find it hard to speak.”

Toosaka Sakura expressed her inner feelings very bluntly.

After more than ten years of companionship, she has become much more open in front of him.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Mr. Ghost's voice was filled with a hint of doubt.

"Do you think I will laugh at you after you say it?"

"Or--"

"You think I'm not fit to listen to you?"

"That's not true!" Toosaka Sakura quickly denied this statement, "I never thought so!"

"That's okay."

"If you think I'm suitable, then tell me why you're crying."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura looked around, and after making sure that no one else was around, she whispered her thoughts.

"Mr. Ghost."

"Am I... annoying?"

"Eh?"

[You never expected Tousaka Sakura to say something like this. ]

You'd think she'd be upset that the scabbard of Excalibur Galatine was taken by a sister she'd never met.

[But now it seems that this is not the case at all.]

[After accusing her mother Zenjo Aoi of being biased, Tousaka Sakura began to reflect on herself. ]

【She'd better put the blame on herself. 】

[You feel both distressed and sad about her behavior.]

[Her personality seemed to have been twisted little by little into a strange shape in this long life.]

"Sakura, why do you think so?" Mr. Ghost asked puzzledly.

"because--"

Toosaka Sakura held the swing rope with one hand and stretched out the other hand to catch a few snowflakes.

She gently blew them away from her hands before they melted away.

"If I wasn't annoying, why would my parents send me away?"

"I... shouldn't actually think that I can get that scabbard, right?"

"Mr. Ghost."

Toosaka Sakura looked at the empty space beside her and forced a smile as if she understood everything.

She was clearly smiling, yet she looked so sad.

This is the reaction that only occurs after experiencing extreme heartbreak.

"Are you right?"

"No." Mr. Ghost directly denied Sakura Toosaka's idea without any hesitation.

His tone also showed a rare seriousness that he would never easily show on ordinary days.

"Sakura."

"You're not annoying at all."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura was not happy about this.

"Mr. Ghost, are you trying to comfort me?"

"I'm not trying to comfort you." Mr. Ghost's voice sounded extremely serious. "I'm telling you the truth."

"Xiaoying, you have never been an annoying person, and you don't need to feel that you are unworthy of being cherished by others because of this."

"Haven't I, Luvia, and Vivian proven this?"

"We all like you, why do you think you are annoying?"

Toosaka Sakura was obviously touched by Mr. Ghost's words.

Her mouth trembled slightly.

"Mr. Ghost..."

"Am I really qualified to think so?"

"Of course." Mr. Ghost answered the girl's question without hesitation.

"Sakura, you absolutely deserve to be loved."

“You must always believe this.”

"..."

A slight blush appeared on Toosaka Sakura's cheeks.

But she soon realized a cruel problem - the scabbard of the Sword of Excalibur Galatine was still in the hands of her sister Toosaka Rin.

"Mr. Ghost, what about the scabbard?"

"We... met because of that thing, right?"

"If I don't get it, I think..."

Toosaka Sakura didn't continue talking.

But what she wanted to express was already very clear.

She felt that the scabbard was a witness to their connection, and it would be wrong to let it fall into the hands of her sister, Tousaka Sakura.

But Mr. Ghost's next words completely dispelled her worries.

"Little fool."

"Do you think that without that scabbard, I won't be by your side?"

"..."
