The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Ian and Vivian were hugging each other on the corridor of the Toosaka family's house, looking very close.

And the self who is observing secretly is like an unnecessary light bulb.

To be fair, Sakura Toosaka actually already has an answer to this question.

But she wasn't so willing to admit that kind of thing.

However, what Toosaka Sakura didn't know was that this question at the moment was very difficult for Toosaka Rin to answer.

Because this sounds like a love topic, right? !

Unfortunately.

As the current (or should we say future) heir of the Toosaka family, Toosaka Rin's grades, behavior, appearance, and even family background are all unimaginably superior to her peers.

This overly powerful background has made her a "flower on the mountain top" in the eyes of others.

Ever since——

Toosaka Rin has zero love experience so far.

Because there was no such boy who would touch her without knowing the consequences - which meant that she had no experience with it at all.

It would have been fine if it hadn't been mentioned before, but now that it's been mentioned, Toosaka Rin finds that she really doesn't know how to answer this question.

To say “I don’t know” directly seems a bit inhumane;

But if you reply with a definite "Of course it's a romantic relationship" it seems too arbitrary, as if an outsider is making comments.

That won't work!

After careful consideration, Toosaka Rin found a way to answer this question "elegantly".

"That--"

"Ying, you have to discuss this in categories."

"Classification discussion?!"

That's right!

This is the answer that Toosaka Sakura wanted to hear - a possibility other than a "romantic relationship"!

"That!"

Toosaka Sakura moved herself a little closer.

"Sister, what is this 'classified discussion' supposed to be about?"

"Cough cough."

Toosaka Sakura cleared her throat and used the skills she usually used to fool people on campus as the vice-president of the student union.

"Then you have to see the situation--!"

"Think about it, if it's someone you haven't seen for a long time, and you meet them now, wouldn't it be completely reasonable to give them a gentle hug?"

"Or maybe there's a special etiquette somewhere where hugging is used to symbolize friendship or something like that."

"In short, you have to analyze the specific situation!"

That's right.

Analyze the specific situation!

Toosaka Sakura agreed with this statement very much - or rather, she just needed such a reason.

My teacher and Ian definitely didn't hug each other because they loved each other.

The girl who was thinking this had no idea that she had first set up a target and then was looking for an arrow that could hit it.

"Well, sister, you make a lot of sense!"

"Of course~"

Realizing that she had answered her sister's question "perfectly", Toosaka Rin felt a little proud.

But she soon stopped behaving like this - after all, that went against the Tohsaka family's ancestral motto that "magicians must always remain elegant."

"Sakura, now that I've answered your questions."

"Shouldn't you also tell me why you suddenly thought of this?"

"No, there's no reason!"

Toosaka Sakura waved her hands, obviously trying to avoid the topic.

“That’s right——!”

"Sister, can you answer one more question for me?"

"Hmm?" Toosaka Rin crossed her arms, "Tell me, what's the problem?"

"that is……"

Toosaka Sakura's voice became quieter and quieter.

"If you want to get closer to a boy, what should you do?"

After hearing these extremely straightforward words, no matter how little experience Toosaka Rin had in love, she couldn't help but complain.

"Hey!"

"Sakura, you are in love after all!"

"Not yet!" Toosaka Sakura denied Toosaka Rin's statement, "We are still far from being in love!"

"..."

"..."

Such an answer is equivalent to a silent response to the question itself.

"you……"

Toosaka Rin covered her forehead and sighed:

"Oh, forget it."

"You want to fall in love, that's not my business - you have your freedom, I have no right to interfere too much."

"But what you said about building closer relationships...I think it's quite simple."

"It's very simple?" Toosaka Sakura blinked her eyes, "What does this mean?"

"At once--"

Toosaka Rin supported her waist with both hands and expressed her true thoughts.

At this moment, she was not answering the question for the sake of face, but sincerely wanted to share her experience in handling things with her sister.

Although it is not a love experience, it is definitely something that can be applied to other situations.

"That means you have to be more proactive."

"Think about it, if neither of us wanted to take the initiative to say hello to each other when we first met, wouldn't we just be standing there in a daze?"

"Be more proactive, then you can have stories with others."

"Uh..." Speaking of this, Toosaka Rin scratched her face.

She felt that she had said something a little too much, so she quickly added.

"Of course, it doesn't mean that there will be a story if you do this."

"but--"

"I believe that if the other person really wants to respond to you, the first step you take will be met with dozens or even hundreds of steps in response."

"..."

Sakura Toosaka listened to her sister's thoughts and suddenly realized.

She nodded thoughtfully, muttering something.

"Sister, you are right."

"If you don't take the initiative... you won't have any chance at all!"

[You don't know about the meeting between the Tohsaka sisters.]

[Because at this moment, your attention is completely on Vivian in front of you. ]

[She looked really sad.]

[To the point that you began to wonder if you had accidentally done something to upset her.]

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Facing Vivian sobbing in his arms, Ian didn't know what to do.

It's naturally not possible to just let go like this.

but--

Holding it all the time doesn't seem right.

but--

Seeing how sad she was, Ian felt that there was no need for him to care too much.

Just let her get on with it.

When people are sad, they always need a place to vent their emotions.

Besides——

I still care about her so inexplicably.

After an unknown amount of time, Vivian finally calmed down.

She raised her head and looked at Ian for a long time, then slowly let go of her hand and took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have been rude."

"Nothing." Ian smiled and responded to Vivian.

"If a hug can make you happy--"

“I’m still very happy to do it.”

Vivian's nose felt sore when she heard this, and she almost cried again.

That little bit of hope danced in his chest, denying the fact that he had forgotten her.

"That--"

"Can I ask you for help like this in the future?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then replied with a smile.

"If the Master agrees, I will help you as soon as possible."

"..."

Vivian's expression became extremely lost in an instant, but she quickly adjusted herself.

The witch has completely denied her failure.

So everything in front of her was just a temporary concession for her.

No.

There is no need for even a temporary concession.

"I see."

Vivian smiled calmly, selectively ignoring the first half of Ian's answer.

"If I encounter this situation again, I will take the initiative to find you."

Ian could tell that what Vivian was saying was different from what he was saying.

But just when he was about to explain it clearly, Toosaka Sakura appeared at the end of the corridor.

With a blushing face, she came to her knight.
