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

"It's okay, I expected this to happen."

"You don't have to feel guilty or anything - learning to cook is not easy."

"Leave the rest to me. I'll teach you how to cook when there's a chance."

"Now... we still have to get dinner ready."

"Well...I see."

After the communication, Ian started to clean up the traces left by Vivian. After that, he started cooking again.

Vivian, knowing that she couldn't do this job, no longer wanted to show off.

The witch just silently helped him - this was the first time in her life that she acted as someone's assistant.

This actually goes against Vivian's proud bottom line.

But at this moment, she didn't feel ashamed at all, but was extremely happy.

Staying with him in this fumes-filled kitchen can make me so happy.

Is happiness such a simple thing?

In the past...what on earth was I pursuing?

After an unknown amount of time, Ian's call brought the dazed Vivian back to reality.

The man who prepared all the dishes looked at her with a little worry.

"Vivian, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing."

Vivian forced a smile.

"I'm just lamenting that my cooking skills are not good enough to help you."

"correct--"

Vivian looked at the man's sweaty forehead, then she took out a tissue from her clothes bag and pulled one out.

"Let me wipe the sweat off your face."

"Eh?"

Before Ian could answer, Vivian had already extended her hand.

She knew she couldn't give him another chance to refuse.

The tissue moved up and down on the man's sweaty forehead, and everything seemed to have returned to that summer of that year.

"Thank you, Vivian."

"You're welcome."

Vivian's hands were shaking, and her voice became sad.

She asked the question in her mind.

"Speaking of which-"

"Why did you give me paper roses?"

"..."

Ian looked at Vivian in front of him and smiled calmly.

"Because I thought that since Vivian you wanted to see the roses--"

"This should be the fastest way."

"But... don't you feel bad? After all, it's not a real rose. I'm worried that you won't be able to accept it."

"That's not true!" Vivian quickly denied this statement.

"I love so much."

"That's good." Ian looked very happy. "In this case, I made the right purchase."

"..."

"..."

"Vivian, do you have anything else to say?"

"No."

Vivian loosened her grip and let the tissue fall to the ground.

"I just wanted to thank you."

"Ian...can you come a little closer?"

"..."

Although he didn't know what Vivian wanted to do, Ian did it anyway.

And the next second, he felt a sweet and wet feeling on his cheek.

It was an extremely mature kiss yet with a bit of the throbbing of first love.

Vivian stood on tiptoes and left her mark on his cheek.

The witch couldn't help it anymore.

Even though it might seem awkward, she wanted to hint at her feelings in this way.

We must participate in the Holy Grail War - to get him back!

But what the two didn't know was.

Outside the kitchen door, Toosaka Sakura, who witnessed everything, was gasping for breath.

She knew she had to do something more.

"Teacher Vivian, I...will never admit defeat."

307. Toosaka Rin: Vivian and her sister are fighting over Ian?

After a while, Vivian reluctantly let go of Ian.

She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar him in front of her, and the emotions in her eyes were as complicated as a Minoan labyrinth.

If she could do it again, Vivian felt that she might choose to leave Camelot with him at the lake and give up the opportunity to ascend the throne.

but--

There are no ifs.

It's as if the forgotten people are destined to be covered in dust in the corner of memory.

The man in front of her was indeed Ian, but he no longer loved her as much as before.

"..."

Ian reached out and touched the place where Vivian had just kissed.

He showed a confused look, but still tried his best to control his emotions and said:

"Vivian, what are you doing..."

Faced with his doubts, Vivian already had a response.

She put her hands behind her back, looked directly at the tall man in front of her, and answered him:

“This is the British way of expressing gratitude.”

"Please don't mind."

"..."

[You know this is definitely not the real reason. ]

[After all, you and Sakura Tousaka lived in the Clock Tower for quite a long time - even if you finally returned to Finland, you couldn't change this fact.]

[You have a good idea of ​​the scope of ways to express gratitude.]

[But looking at Vivian in front of you, you don't think you need to expose her. ]

[Since this mature teacher chose to do this, she must have her own reasons. ]

[For some reason, you feel like you can totally trust her.]

[Besides this reason, you find that you actually enjoy the kiss from her. ]

[But you realize that this may not be a good sign - you should still express to her the proper sense of propriety between you two.]

Looking at Vivian who had "explained" everything to him, Ian hesitated for a while, and finally said what was in his heart:

"That's it, I understand."

"but--"

"If possible, Vivian, next time you plan to do this, can you tell me in advance?"

"If you come up suddenly like this, it's a little... a little scary."

Vivian's heart sank when she heard Ian's "warning".

Once upon a time, he would never have expressed to me in such a tactful way that he wanted to maintain a sense of propriety between us like he is doing now.

The witch then realized how many concessions he had made for her and how much hesitation he had swallowed.

It was such a sincere and passionate feeling, but now it has become a bubble.

only--

Vivian knew that all this was the result of her own actions.

At this moment, she could only swallow it hard.

"Ah."

Vivian forced a smile and nodded.

"I see."

"From now on...it won't be so sudden again."

"That's good." Ian generously forgave the witch's rude surprise attack, "Then let's just pretend nothing happened."

"Vivian, Sakura and the others must be waiting anxiously. We need to serve the dishes out quickly."

"it is good."

Having reached a consensus, Ian and Vivian were about to take the prepared dishes out of the kitchen.

And at this moment——

Toosaka Sakura, who was observing secretly, walked in as if nothing had happened.

"Well, let me help too."

"Huh?" Ian didn't expect Toosaka Sakura to come in at this time.

He subconsciously "rejected" the other party's request.

"No, there's a strong smell of cooking smoke here, Xiaoying, please go out first."

"Vivian and I will be here."

What Ian didn't know was that his simple words were like a flame that lit a fuse for Sakura Toosaka, who had just witnessed a kiss.

She instinctively took it as the result of Vivian's actions.

that--

I have to be serious about this too.

"It's okay, Mr. Ian." Toosaka Sakura said with a smile.

"You and Teacher Vivian are guests... How can I expect guests to finish everything?"

"But didn't you just come back too...?" Ian couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry about it."
