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

"..."

Toosaka Sakura's pupils opened slightly like a flower bud just opening.

At this moment, all the memories of the past connected into one line in her mind.

Vivian is such a powerful person, why did she help me participate in the Holy Grail War?

Does she like this disciple of hers?

No.

It was she who wanted her to summon Ian.

The name and other things were already known clearly a long time ago.

In that case—

The reason why the two of them had such a close relationship before was probably because of their identities.

The most important, and also the most difficult to understand, is life span.

But all this may not be a problem for Vivian.

After all, for a magician of her level, staying young is probably just a matter of a few spells.

The moment she realized all this, Toosaka Sakura felt like her world collapsed.

At this moment, her status with her teacher Vivian was completely reversed.

The other person is the one who truly has his feelings.

I am... just a latecomer.

"impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Toosaka Sakura covered her head and began to deny the truth that intended to destroy her entire world.

"Teacher Vivian, you are lying!"

"..."

If it were before, Vivian felt that she would probably feel triumphantly happy because of Toosaka Sakura's collapse at this moment.

but now--

For her, who had tasted the complete experience of loss and recovery, every word from Sakura Toosaka that denied the truth hurt this witch's heart.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

How can they be so similar...

Vivian could fully understand that kind of heart-wrenching pain.

"I'm sorry, Sakura."

The witch expressed her apology, but it seemed a little pale and rude.

Yes.

What else could she say except to apologize?

It's impossible to send her husband back to Sakura Toosaka in some weird way, right?

That was absolutely impossible - I had already lost him once, so there was no way I would make the same mistake again.

"fraud!"

"You are all liars!"

A few tears fell from Sakura Toosaka's eyes, and she then ran out of the room where Ian was summoned.

"Sakura!"

Seeing his Master running out, Ian reacted immediately.

He glanced at Vivian, seemingly thinking about something.

After hesitating for a moment, the man left a message:

"Vivian... no matter what happens next, please don't blame Sakura."

"please."

After saying that, Ian followed and left.

As she watched Ian walk away, Vivian's mouth trembled slightly, but in the end she said nothing.

No.

To be precise, she knew that words had long lost their original function.

At this moment of showdown, they are already heading towards an unpredictable future.

Even a magician like Vivian can't do anything about it.

The only thing we can do is wait and see.

[You temporarily left the Tousaka family's residence. ]

[You start looking for Tousaka Sakura on the street outside. ]

[You are worried that she will do something out of the ordinary when she is stimulated.]

In spring, the snow on the streets of Japan has already melted.

It was a holiday, and there were still quite a few people on the road even in the morning.

But Ian didn't care about these things - at the moment, he just wanted to find her as soon as possible.

"Sakura--!"

"Sakura--!"

"Have you ever seen a girl about this tall, with long black hair, blue eyes, and who is quite cute?"

Passersby on the street looked at a man in confusion as he anxiously described a girl to everyone he met.

only--

Only a few people are willing to pay attention to others, and most people will answer "I don't know" or "I don't know".

But Ian had no intention of giving up.

Before deciding to confess everything to Sakura Toosaka, he had already made all the mental preparations.

No matter what, the man at this moment knew that he had to find Sakura Toosaka and make sure she was safe.

It seemed that this feeling was recognized by God, or maybe there were not many places Toosaka Sakura could go.

Ian soon got accurate directions from someone.

"You mean over there?!"

"I see. Thank you so much!"

After going around in circles, Ian found himself back in a familiar place.

That is--

The park that he and Sakura Toosaka had visited in the snow.

[You still remember this place. ]

[You also came here to look for her last time. ]

[The reason for that time was that Toosaka Sakura confirmed that the scabbard of the Excalibur Gallatin sword was taken away by her sister Toosaka Rin. ]

[You are not surprised that she came here.]

[After all, there aren’t many places she knows. ]

I saw it.

Saw her.

In Ian's sight, the girl was sitting alone on the rather shabby swing, looking depressed.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she looked as if she had lost her most precious treasure.

No.

This description alone might not be enough - at least we have to add the premise that the treasure can never be retrieved.

Looking at Sakura Tousaka like this, Ian felt as if his heart was being pulled apart, and even breathing became a little difficult.

But communication is still necessary.

"Sakura." The man gave a forced smile and walked towards the other party.

"Why are you here?"

"..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Toosaka Sakura looked up.

The moment she saw Ian, her eyes brightened up a bit, but in the next moment, they turned into the deepest dark black.

"Liar." This was a rare comment she made about him.

“You are all liars.”

"..."

I know that Toosaka Sakura feels betrayed.

So facing her "name", Ian chose to endure it all silently.

"Yes."

The man walked up to Sakura Tousaka, squatted down, and nodded.

“I am indeed a great liar.”

"should--"

"I confessed my feelings for Vivian to you earlier."

"Sakura, I'm sorry."

"..."

Hearing this, Toosaka Sakura was about to blame Ian and Vivian for deceiving her together, but then she realized that something seemed a little wrong.

She felt that Ian didn't seem to know that he was Vivian's husband.

Are you still deceiving yourself?

Having been deceived once, Toosaka Sakura could no longer believe what she saw and heard - she decided to give it a try.

"Mr. Ian, what do you mean?" The girl looked at him in front of her.

"Confess sooner—how soon?"

"..."

I don't think Toosaka Sakura would say that she doesn't want to communicate with me at all.

Ian stood up and sat on another swing next to her, and patiently told her about his own journey.

"Very early."

"perhaps--"

"I felt that way when I first saw Vivian."

"..."

Ian's description made Tousaka Sakura more concerned.

She felt that the man in front of her really didn't seem to know that he was Vivian's husband.

"Mr. Ian."

"You mean... you fell in love with Teacher Vivian the first time you saw her?"

"..."
