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

Ian didn't hide his true thoughts, but showed them to her in full view.

"You can say it is, but you can also say it is not."

"actually--"

“I didn’t realize that at first.”

"It was only after Rider took me to see the depressed Vivian that I realized what all the emotions I had caused her were."

"Sakura."

The knight looked at the Master beside him.

"I do like Vivian, and I probably had this idea when we first met."

"..."

Although it was spring when flowers were blooming and snow was melting, Toosaka Sakura felt that the air she breathed was still as cold as winter.

He personally admitted his feelings for Vivian in front of her, and he did it without any concealment.

Besides--

He did not team up with teacher Vivian to deceive himself.

He simply liked her, and even after losing his memory, he still fell in love with her at first sight.

Think about it too.

If he remembered, Ian would have recognized Vivian.

Why do we need to wait until now?

"Mr. Ian."

Toosaka Sakura looked at him beside her, her tone becoming increasingly sad.

"so--"

"You have never developed any feelings for me...at all?"

Ian smiled when he heard this.

"How is that possible?"

"Sakura." The man gently stroked Sakura Tohsaka's head, comforting her gently in this way.

"If there really is no emotion——"

"I wouldn't be here at this moment, would I?"

"But Mr. Ian, you said you like Teacher Vivian." Toosaka Sakura continued.

"Yes." The man nodded, "But you are also someone I care about."

"so--"

Ian gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Tousaka Sakura's eyes, and then made up his mind.

"If you really mind that I like Vivian, then use the Command Spell to erase my memory."

"I won't resist - as for Vivian, I've already left my thoughts."

Anti-magic is essentially the use of personal will to fight against magic from outside.

In the absence of any will to resist, even A-level or higher anti-magic power would be meaningless.

Ian knew that he was sorry for Sakura Toosaka.

and so--

At this last moment, he decided to hand the power of the group back to her.

Ian really likes Vivian from the bottom of his heart.

But this doesn't mean he can let go of Sakura Tousaka.

No matter what the result is, he will accept it calmly.

"..."

Toosaka Sakura was silent.

She knew that given Ian's character, he would never make a promise about such a thing casually - he really gave the freedom of choice back to himself completely.

It is the choice that allows him to love the one he loves;

Or just wipe out the person he loves and continue to be taken care of by him like this.

At this moment, Toosaka Sakura reached her own crossroads.

however--

Faced with this extremely difficult choice, the girl found that she already had the answer.

"You can't hurt him anymore." Vivian's words echoed in her ears.

Yes.

What he loved had shifted since he met Vivian.

What remains by his side now is nothing more than his absolute loyalty as a knight.

It is this loyalty that allows the girl's love to bloom boldly.

now that--

He is willing to completely give up that relationship for this loyalty.

So what's there to hesitate about?

"Mr. Ian, I won't do that."

"If you really like Teacher Vivian——"

Toosaka Sakura had tears in her eyes and smiled as she expressed her blessings.

"Then love her well."

"but--"

Toosaka Sakura held the man's hand.

"After you and Teacher Vivian are together, will we still have the chance to kiss every night, take a bath together, go out on dates, and have sex like lovers?"

"I... don't want to lose you like this."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she felt herself being embraced in his arms.

The next moment, there was a gentle yet passionate kiss from the man.

"Sakura."

"There will be a chance... there will definitely be one."

"I'm just... I'm really sorry."

"..."

The girl's tears burst out at this moment.

She hugged her ghost tightly and sobbed in his arms.

I have clearly done everything a lover should do, but I still haven't taken the last step.

Toosaka Sakura was very unwilling, but she also knew that it was time to stop - because love is not a shackle to lock someone up.

However, the girl did not notice that Vivian had actually followed her and was hiding in the dark and witnessed everything.

This witch who spanned thousands of years finally accepted her student's feelings for her husband because of Toosaka Sakura's compromise.

She chose to back off a little and allow them to maintain this unclean relationship.

after all--

No matter which side it is, it is something the knight cannot give up at this moment.

[You settled this emotional battle in a bloody way, facing the thorns head-on.]

[But this doesn't mean it's over - the real enemy we have to deal with has just revealed its true form.]

[On the same night, a great Servant War broke out. ]

[That was the battle between Assassin Li Shuwen and Caster Solomon that you had never known about! ]

349. Solomon vs. Li Shuwen/Life and Death Battle on the Ring/Adai Mao's Worry (4k)

【This is a battle you are completely unaware of. 】

[But that doesn’t make it any less important — it’s the beginning of everything that’s to come.]

[However, the reason for its outbreak is much simpler than imagined. ]

As someone who had participated in two Holy Grail Wars, Kotomine Kirei thought he was quite familiar with this ritual.

The most clear understanding is that each class has its own unique way to win.

For example, Saber's servants are good at fair duels, and their "anti-magic power" is also a reflection of this identity.

For example, Caster specializes in building magic workshops and then making profits from them.

These often include many magic tricks beyond imagination, which are amazing things that people will never forget after just one look.

As for Assassin, as assassins, they adopt an extremely covert combat method.

After all, as Assassins, they need to protect their identities during their lifetime, and often lack sufficient legendary blessings, which in turn affects their own combat effectiveness.

Kotomine Kirei had already sensed this from Hassan Sabbah, whom he had summoned earlier.

Direct attack is not what they are good at.

Acting in secret is the most correct way to use the Assassin class.

This means that if you want to make good use of Assassin, it actually requires a lot of ability from the Master himself.

however--

What Kotomine Kirei thought was an iron rule became meaningless in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Because this time, he also summoned Assassin.

However, this servant named Li Wenshu does not have the characteristics that this class should have.

Or to put it in a more understandable way -

He likes confrontation.

Yes.

As an Assassin, Li Shuwen instinctively rejects the idea of ​​assassinating someone secretly.

He longed for a worthy opponent—someone who could push him over the edge.

Because only in this difficult situation can the unique skill of "Bu Er Da" be further improved.

This is what is called "reaching the pinnacle"!

The actions that follow this idea are also incompatible with the Holy Grail War.

"what?"

Kotomine Kirei looked at the old man in front of him and was very surprised by the suggestion he made.

"Assassin, you said you wanted to set up a fight?"

This is an unreasonable request.

Although this was a class that should be most careful about its concealment, it took the most conspicuous action at this moment.

"Yes." Li Shuwen looked at Kotomine Kirei, his expression not wavering in the slightest.

"Do you have any opinion?"

"..."
