"Taiga, I think you should rein it in a little..." Bai said with a dry laugh as he looked at Taiga Fujimura.
"It's fine, it's fine. If you don't eat this much, you won't make it to lunchtime~" Taiga Fujimura swept through the food like a whirlwind. "Ah, Sakura got hurt today, so don't go practice for now. Bai, you don't need to either. If you go, Sakura will follow no matter what she says, right?"
During morning practice, if Bai went too, Sakura would keep up even if she was feeling unwell.
After finishing her meal, Taiga Fujimura returned to her room to change, then hurried off.
Sakura's gaze, meanwhile, remained fixed on Taiga Fujimura's hand.
"Come to think of it, I had Archer scout Ryudoji Temple too. He didn't see anyone who looked like a Master, but there definitely were two Servants."
As soon as Taiga Fujimura left, Rin began discussing business.
"Even though I think it's unlikely, Caster is a mage too. In theory, couldn't she summon Servants as well?" Bai was also thinking it over.
"No, no, that's impossible no matter how you look at it." Rin waved her hand. "A Master has two roles. One is providing magical energy, while the other is allowing the Servant to remain in this world. In theory, a Master serves as the Karma that anchors a Servant when they're summoned into the world. That's precisely why Servants normally can't take on that role. They can serve as a 'Master' that provides magical energy, but they can't serve as the 'Karma.'"
"Is that so?" Bai was still thinking.
"Don't worry about it." Rin took it rather easily. "So even if Caster could break the rules and summon one, she wouldn't have the necessary component to act as the Karma."
