Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

He had just been considering whether to go to the Holy Church right now, after all, such a terrifying Servant battle was something he had never heard of before.

If it's not stopped quickly, no one knows how much damage it will cause.

Gilgamesh glanced indifferently at the man who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile playing on his lips, and a hint of pleasure in his red eyes.

Although tonight's battle is over, what's coming next might be even more troublesome for you... Tokiomi.

After all, neither the mother nor the other beast will likely let this go so easily.

This is going to be quite a show... Gilgamesh thought to himself with a sense of relief: Accepting the Holy Grail's call was definitely the right choice...

"By the way, Your Majesty, have you found my daughter?" Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly asked, as if he had remembered something.

"You mean that little girl?" Gilgamesh snapped out of his daze, a hint of amusement now playing on his arrogant face.

Don't worry, she's fine.

"Perhaps you two will be able to meet soon?" he said, turning his head slightly to look at Tokiomi.

Clatter

A crisp sound of heels clicking on the floor echoed in the Matou Family's entryway.

It started raining outside sometime during the day. At first, it was just a drop or two, but gradually the sound of the rain grew louder and louder, as if the floodgates in the sky had been opened completely, and all the water poured down at once, turning the ground into a white expanse.

Kama brushed the strands of hair from her forehead, and raindrops dripped down her hair onto the floor.

She looked extremely disheveled, but even so, she was still not to be underestimated, because at this moment, the aura emanating from this beast was practically murderous.

Even though her face was undeniably cute, her eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

They're both beasts, so how come there's such a huge difference between them?!

And what exactly does "Servant" mean? Aren't I his enemy?

Since they're enemies, how can you have the nerve to wipe away someone else's tears on the battlefield?!

Growing angrier by the thought, Kama went into the adjacent Japanese-style room, looked at the drizzling rain in the courtyard, and said coldly, "Merlin, get out here!"

There has been no response.

"If you don't come out and wait for me, you're going to die a horrible death later," Kama said coldly again.

"Here I am! Master, I'm here!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by from who-knows-where, and a few petals drifted past Kama's eyes. Then, the figure of the white-haired monk came into view.

Holding his staff, a gentle and kind smile on his face, he glanced at the little girl with her wet hair, quickly rubbed his hands together, stepped forward, and asked with concern, "Master, what happened to you? How did you get so soaked?!"

Kama sneered, "Don't play dumb. You're the one who lured the Creation Mother Goddess here, aren't you?"

She wasn't stupid. When she first saw Tiamat, she was too shocked to think much about it. But on the way back, she thought about it for a moment and realized that the only person who could lure Tiamat here was Merlin, who had the ability to see the present Clairvoyance.

If it weren't for Merlin, Lan Ze would have already become her Servant, and the embarrassing things that happened later wouldn't have occurred.

However--

Merlin simply blinked, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What Creation Mother Goddess?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clump of Black Mud suddenly emerged and quickly enveloped Merlin.

"Merlin..."

Lancelot's deep voice came from the side, his scarlet eyes radiating a chilling coldness.

"Calm down, Master, calm down! I admit I brought the person here, but I had no choice at the time. Archer and that beast were watching me, and I couldn't run away, so I had to..." Merlin quickly explained, with a gentle smile on his face.

However, Kama ignored Merlin's words and slowly walked up to him.

"What kind of person is that Caster?"

Merlin's voice, which was about to continue explaining, suddenly paused, and he was slightly taken aback.

I was mentally prepared to be hung up and beaten by Kama, but he actually asked me a question like this?

It seems she's somewhat interested in Lan Ze...?

Looking into Kama's cold gaze, a path Merlin had never imagined quietly emerged in his mind.

Think about it carefully, why is it absolutely necessary to get rid of the beast?

Since Lan Ze already has two or even three Beasts, one more won't hurt, right?

Besides, this Master is actually quite gentle compared to the other Beasts...

Thinking of this, Merlin shifted his body within the black egg formed from the Black Mud, making himself more comfortable. His gaze deepened slightly as he slowly spoke, "That king had a past unknown to anyone..."

Tiamat listened to the pattering rain, leaned against the window, and stared blankly at the rain outside.

Lan Ze sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the woman's alluring figure. He walked over to her and gently asked, "Mother, what are you thinking about?"

To his surprise, Tiamat completely ignored him, turning her face away. Her once gentle face now showed a hint of sadness, as if to say, "My son, your mother is very disappointed in you."

Tiamat was very excited before coming to see Lan Ze, because she hadn't seen her baby for several days and missed him terribly.

Even when she arrived and saw Lan Ze, she was quite happy and didn't hold a grudge against what had happened to Lan Ze there.

However, Irisviel and Ryougi Shiki each saying "Mom" just now completely broke Tiamat's defenses.

"You are the Creation Mother Goddess, so it's perfectly normal for them to call you Mother, isn't it?" Lan Ze comforted her gently.

Tiamat merely glanced at him, her enigmatic gaze seeming to say: I'm not that easily fooled.

Whether it was Irisviel or Ryougi Shiki, their attitude at the time was less about simply calling her "mother" and more about them being concerned about their own children.

It seems that Mother of All has indeed become smarter. She's no longer the naive woman who would nod and say "Aaa" to show she understood just because I explained something... Lan Ze thought to himself.

"By the way, Mother, do you know where the Holy Grail that affects this Singularity is hidden?" Lan Ze suddenly remembered this and asked.

Tiamat still ignored him, but Lan Ze was not giving up and just kept staring at Tiamat.

After observing for a while, Tiamat finally sighed softly and shook her head slightly, "The Holy Grail... I don't know where it is."

She wasn't interested in Singularity or the Holy Grail; her only interests were sleeping and her own child.

Knock knock.

Just then, someone gently knocked on the door, and then Irisviel, with her silver hair, walked into the room.

She was holding a tray with food that the maid had just brought to her.

Irisviel placed the plate on the table, then looked up and smiled, "Mother, you must be hungry after traveling so far. Why don't you have something to eat?"

She stood obediently, with a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes flickered slightly.

This mother looks really cute and beautiful.

If she hadn't previously thrashed another beast, probably no one would believe that this seemingly gentle and kind woman possessed such terrifying destructive power in battle.

Tiamat glanced at the food on her plate, her eyes lighting up. She looked at Irisviel a couple more times, then nodded slightly. "Aaa."

Although she firmly opposed other women taking over her son's place, she still had to eat him; she couldn't let the other woman's good intentions go to waste.

After eating her fill, Tiamat seemed to feel much better. She yawned sleepily, revealing a cute little fang, and tears welled up in her eyes.

After rubbing her sleepy eyes, Tiamat turned to look at Lan Ze and said softly, "Aaaa (Time to sleep)."

"Mother, Servant don't need to rest." Lan Ze politely declined, knowing that his Mother of All meant he should sleep with her.

But Irisviel was right there watching. Wouldn't it be too damaging to her image if Mother of All as a pillow and slept like usual...?

Now that he's sleeping in his Mother of All, his image as an omnipotent king in Irisviel's eyes will crumble!

However, Tiamat was very persistent. She tugged at Lan Ze's sleeve again and looked up at him expectantly.

"Servant really don't need to rest, especially during the Holy Grail War. What if they get attacked while they're sleeping?--"

"Aaa!" Tiamat's eyes shone with hope, and she was very stubborn.

At this moment, Irisviel suddenly spoke up to defuse the situation, saying gently, "Mother, Caster is currently without Master. I need to re-sign a contract with him as soon as possible, otherwise he might disappear after tonight."

Tiamat paused for a moment, then tapped her hand with an "Aaa" sound, about to unbutton her shirt.

Lan Ze's eyelids twitched, and he quickly pressed Tiamat's hand down. "Mother, I'll just sign a contract with Irisviel, so there's no need to trouble you. If you're sleepy, you should rest first. I'll wake you up after the Holy Grail War is over."

Tiamat has always been in a state of self-sealing, and one of the side effects of this sealing is excessive sleepiness. So when she is at home, she often plays games for a while and then goes to her room to sleep. It's not because she is lazy, but simply because of the sealing.

Tiamat pondered for a moment, then finally nodded slightly, but didn't forget to remind Lan Ze, "Aaaaa (Remember to come back and sleep with me)."

"Aaaaa (Remind me when you see Merlin)"

She was too busy saving her child to give Merlin a good beating, but now that Lan Ze is back, she'll teach that bad guy who tricked Lan Ze many times and led him astray a lesson when she sees Merlin again.

Lan Ze smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll remind you."

Tiamat then lay down in bed with peace of mind, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep happily.

Irisviel looked at Tiamat with awe, then whispered, "Castleer, let's go out first, so as not to disturb Mother's rest."

Lan Ze nodded slightly, turned around and followed Irisviel out of the room. After quietly closing the door behind them, they walked down the corridor into the hall.

Mordred was pacing anxiously back and forth in the hall when she noticed someone entering. She turned her head slightly and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Father King!" Mordred exclaimed excitedly, about to step forward for a touching father-daughter embrace with Lan Ze, but the Master beside her opened his arms slightly and stepped forward first to give Lan Ze a gentle hug.

Ryougi Shiki was still wearing a light pink kimono, with a faint smile on her face, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, it's just that my skin is a bit..." Lan Ze said, then suddenly sighed.

Although he thinks he looks good now, he still thinks he looks better with his original skin. The dark version doesn't suit him.

"Has this been affected by something?" Irisviel asked.

She had wanted to ask about this on the way back, but she didn't bring it up at the time to avoid upsetting Lan Ze. Now that he had brought it up himself, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Lan Ze nodded slightly. "It's something called Black Mud. It can affect a Servant's personality and even make them lose their mind. Although the Black Mud didn't have much effect on me, my body surface still seems to have been affected to some extent."

Lan Ze sighed again as he spoke, raising his eyes to reveal a chilling light in his golden pupils.

"Perhaps... it has already affected you, but you just haven't noticed?" Ryougi Shiki suddenly said.

She paused slightly, raised her hand, and gently pinched Lan Ze's cheek, saying thoughtfully, "It seems the Black Mud has completely corrupted your body? It would be strange if your personality remained completely unaffected under such circumstances..."

Lan Ze paused slightly, understanding Ryougi Shiki's words. "You mean to say that my personality has actually been subtly influenced, but I just haven't realized it?"

"Hmm... but when I talk to Caster, it feels the same as before," Irisviel said softly.

"They may look the same, but their underlying personality may have changed."

Ryougi Shiki gently grasped Lan Ze's wrist and looked up at Irisviel: "Do you have any spare rooms here?"

"Yes, there is... but what do we need it for?" Irisviel asked, puzzled.

"I will use the power of the Root to examine his body and confirm the extent of the Black Mud's erosion," Ryougi Shiki said.

"Wait a minute, I already said I'm fine, why do I have to undergo your examination for no reason?! And what exactly is this 'physical examination' you're talking about?!" Lan Ze felt inexplicably uneasy.

Ryougi Shiki simply smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's just a quick check-up, it won't hurt."

Hearing her words made Lan Ze even more uneasy. He subconsciously backed away, intending to go back to his room and into his Mother of All's arms. At that moment, Irisviel suddenly spoke up loudly:

"Miss Shiki, I believe Caster. Since he said he wasn't corrupted by the Black Mud, then he definitely wasn't."

"Irisviel ..." Lan Ze looked at her, moved.

Irisviel then changed the subject. "But I also respect Miss Shiki's choice."

"So, can I watch while they inspect the caster?" Irisviel asked.

Lan Ze: "..."

Led by Irisviel, Lan Ze entered a closed warehouse.

"This is the castle's basement. Under normal circumstances, no one will disturb you, so you can rest assured, Caster," Irisviel said in a gentle voice.

Lan Ze sighed with a pained expression, "I already told you I'm fine, why do I have to get a medical checkup?"
