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

Suddenly feeling that she had been entrusted with an extremely sacred duty, Atalanta even straightened her back a little.

"That--"

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Hard drag." Ian replied.

"Eh?" Atalanta was puzzled. "What does this mean?"

"It's like this..." Ian leaned over to the cat girl and whispered.

"I see..." The little cat girl nodded, not quite understanding.

late at night.

Toosaka Rin sat on the bed, hugging her legs, looking quite depressed.

The news that Ian and Altria brought back today was still too hard for her to accept.

Kotomine Kirei... turned out to be the murderer who killed his father!

I actually regarded him as my master for so many years.

Thinking of this, Toosaka Rin couldn't help but hammer the bed beside her, her expression and actions filled with endless regret.

And at this moment——

Atalanta's head popped out from the side.

"cold."

"Are you ok?"

"Eh?!" Toosaka Rin was startled, "Archer, why did you suddenly appear from here?!"

"That—" Atalanta pretended to be innocent.

"Rin, didn't you tell me to keep my guard at the highest level?"

"So I'll stay by your side."

"..."

For a moment, Toosaka Rin really had no way to refute Atalanta's words.

After all, I did tell her such a request.

"alright."

"Then Archer, you continue to stay alert... I'm going to sleep first."

"Hey, no!" Atalanta grabbed Toosaka Rin and stopped her from getting into the bed.

"Rin, don't go to sleep yet!"

"What's wrong?!" Looking at Atalanta holding her hand, Toosaka Rin looked very confused.

"I have to go to school tomorrow, so I'm definitely going to bed now."

Going to school is fake. Toosaka Rin knows that she will learn that kind of course even if she doesn't study it.

She just didn't want to explain to her servant what happened just now.

It is enough for one person to bear the troubles alone. There is no need to spread it like a virus and make more people suffer with you.

"If you have anything to say, do it now."

"Uh...this."

Atalanta didn't know how to start.

Although she did this partly because she was worried about Toosaka Rin, it was more because of her master's mission.

That's right.

Ian gave Atalanta an order - he asked him to stop Toosaka Rin from falling asleep.

But she didn't understand why she did this.

"Rin, let's talk for a while!"

"What is there to talk about?" Toosaka Rin looked at Atalanta in front of her, her eyes full of helplessness.

"You've been by my side all day. You should know as much about what I've encountered as I do."

"So stop chatting and let me sleep!"

"Wait a moment!" Atalanta grabbed Toosaka Rin's hand again and pulled her up.

"Just wait a little longer!"

"You!" Toosaka Rin was a little anxious.

She was already upset, and Atalanta's behavior made her even more unhappy.

But even so, Toosaka Rin did not get angry directly.

She looked at her Servant and spoke in a very serious tone:

"Archer!"

"I really need to go to bed now...if you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow!"

"Otherwise—" Toosaka Rin showed the Command Seal on the back of her hand, "I'm going to do something that everyone will regret."

"..."

Atalanta was much more obedient now.

After all, she knew how powerful the Command Spell was.

However, luck once again favored this little cat girl who diligently completed her master's tasks.

There was a knock on the door, followed by an unexpected inquiry from Atalanta and Toosaka Rin.

"Xiao Lin."

"Can I come in and talk to you?"

It’s Zenjo Aoi!

Atalanta and Toosaka Rin looked at each other, never expecting her to come here at this time.

However, Toosaka Rin immediately responded: "Yes! Of course!"

After answering her mother Zenjo Aoi in this way, she looked at Atalanta in front of her and said:

"Archer——"

"..."

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Atalanta did not continue to pester the man.

She stood up and walked towards the door.

After exchanging a glance with Zenjo Aoi, she nodded and left the room.

But what Atalanta had never expected was—

Ian was standing outside the door at this moment.

"Eh?" Atalanta blinked. "Master, why are you here too?"

"Of course I have to be here." Ian reached out and stroked Atalanta's head, "Otherwise, how could I bring Mrs. Aoi here?"

"You brought her here?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"It just takes a little time."

"Atalanta, you did a good job this time."

[You told Atalanta your plan in detail.]

[If you want to solve Toosaka Rin's problem. 】

[In fact, there is only one way - that is Toosaka Rin's mother Zenjo Aoi. 】

[As a mother, she is the only one who can help her daughter get over this problem.]

[Of course, this is not a surefire way to succeed.]

[After all, Zenjo Aoi may not be able to withstand such pressure——she will have to face the cruel truth. ]

【But in fact, you underestimated the strength of this lady. 】

[Or should I say that she was not a fragile person at all, as she was able to continue to live so hard after her husband's death.]

【You communicated with her very effectively. 】

[The mother decided to hold back her sadness and counsel her daughter.]

[The time Atalanta bought you was fully utilized by you.]

"So that's it."

Atalanta nodded, and then realized a key problem.

"Master...will this fail?"

"I do not know."

Ian looked at the closed door.

"but--"

"You have to give it a try, right?"

"At least this might be a move that makes her feel less uncomfortable, right?"

"......That's right." Atalanta nodded.

"Master, what should we do now?"

"I'll wait here by myself." Ian leaned against the wall, "Atalanta, you can go back and rest first."

"That's definitely not possible."

Atalanta moved closer to Ian.

"Master, I will wait as long as you wait!"

"..."

"Okay." Ian did not reject Atalanta's kindness, "Let's wait here together."

【This is a much longer process than I imagined. 】

[After all, this cannot be appeased with just a few words - in a sense, it represents the past of the Tosaka family. ]

[You heard the mother and daughter crying in the room.]

【You noticed that Atalanta was also getting sad.】

[It makes you wonder what the point of the Holy Grail War is—it actually caused so much tragedy.]

【Gradually, you have the idea of ​​ending it all. 】

I do not know how long it has been.

The door opened, Zenjo Aoi walked out, and then came in front of Ian and Atalanta.

There were two lines of tears on her face - the result of crying with her daughter.

However, at this moment, she was still quite strong and wiped her eyes, and said to the two people in front of her in a gentle voice:

"that--"

"Xiao Lin wants you to go in for a while."

"I understand."

Without any hesitation, Ian answered directly.

He knew that now was the critical moment to resolve the issue—not even a moment should be wasted.

After exchanging a few brief greetings with Zenjo Aoi, Ian brought Atalanta into the room.
