Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 135

"Drunk people always say they're not drunk. As I just said, perhaps you've already been subtly influenced by this Black Mud,' but you just haven't realized it."

Ryougi Shiki smiled faintly, "Take off your clothes."

Taking off his clothes in front of two women was far too shameful... Lan Ze sighed inwardly and said, "An examination is fine, but--"

He glanced at Mordred, who was hiding by the door, secretly watching them with a cat-like curiosity in her eyes, and then walked up to his daughter.

"Father King?" Mordred looked up, puzzled.

"Don't peek, this is an adult matter!" After saying that, Lan Ze slammed the door shut and turned around to the two of them, looking annoyed.

Ryougi Shiki looked at Lan Ze's gloomy expression, tilted her head slightly, and said softly, "You seem troubled?"

"After all, I'm the one being examined, not you. If we switched roles, you'd know just how ashamed I am," Lan Ze retorted.

Ryougi Shiki raised an eyebrow slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded gently. "How about this, after the examination, I will also undergo your examination, is that fair?"

"Huh?!" Lan Ze looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock... and a hint of anticipation. He quickly waved his hands, "Don't joke around, I'm not that kind of person. Why would I need to examine your body for no reason?"

"Is that so...?" Ryougi Shiki slightly. "But I noticed you were glancing at my exposed skin several times. I think you should be interested in my body."

"Is it just my imagination?" she continued.

"You're being so blunt, it'll make me really awkward..." Lan Ze coughed lightly, "I think that's just your imagination. I'm a perfectly respectable person."

He was simply curious and wanted to know whether or not one should wear underwear under a kimono. His peeping at Ryougi Shiki was purely out of this exploratory spirit.

Ultimately, it's nothing more than human curiosity.

However, to be fair, Ryougi Shiki was quite provocative. If Irisviel hadn't been there, I might have actually been tempted... Lan Ze secretly glanced at Irisviel, who was standing quietly to the side without saying a word, and suppressed the lively thoughts in his mind, saying:

"Is it okay if I just take off my shirt?"

"That's how it is for now," Ryougi Shiki a smile.

Lan Ze closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, the Spirit Garment on his upper body quietly disappeared.

With a hint of curiosity in Ryougi Shiki eyes, Ryougi Shiki reached out and gently touched Lan Ze's back.

When cool, smooth fingers gently touch my back, it sends a shiver down my spine—a sensation unlike anything I've experienced before, like holding hands. The feeling of being stared at and touched like that is incredibly shameful.

Ryougi Shiki pinched Lan Ze's arm, then touched his back and even his abdomen, before finally giving a fairly objective assessment, saying:

"Although she looks a bit frail, she surprisingly seems to have some muscles."

"Yes, really. I didn't even notice before..." Irisviel moved closer, scanning Lan Ze's body, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness, yet also with curiosity as she stared at him.

"Turn around," Ryougi Shiki suddenly said.

Lan Ze turned around, revealing skin that was slightly tanned, with crisscrossing lines on his back, the color of which matched the Command Spells.

Ryougi Shiki's gaze sharpened slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "Suicide?"

As Kama sealed Lan Ze within the Black Mud, his spirit also gained a physical body under the influence of the Black Mud, a process known as "receiving flesh."

"He wasn't corrupted by the Black Mud, but instead gained a physical body through Black Mud?" Even Ryougi Shiki muttered to herself in surprise.

Irisviel's eyes flickered slightly, her thoughts racing through her mind.

Logically, Black Mud doesn't necessarily grant Servant a physical body. For example, if most Servant are also covered in Black Mud, they will simply become corrupted under its influence and obediently become Kama's subordinates.

But if one possesses a firm will, one can obtain "flesh" from the Black Mud.

For example, there's Merlin, who is devoid of emotion; Gilgamesh, who is either delusional or extremely arrogant; and Lan Ze, who has the protection of the Creation Mother Goddess.

Lan Ze doesn't need any strong will at all. Even if Kama throws him into the Black Mud, twists and turns him, licks him, and soaks him, he can still be lively and energetic. At most, his physical characteristics will undergo a "darkening reaction".

"It's so embarrassing to be stared at like that..." Lan Ze said. "Didn't I already say that I wasn't affected by the Black Mud?"

As he spoke, his Spirit Garment quietly covered him again, and then he asked, "Now you believe I haven't been affected by the Black Mud, right?"

Ryougi Shiki remained silent.

Irisviel said softly, "Truly worthy of being a Caster."

"By the way, the reason you're immune to the Black Mud is because of that protective layer on your body, right?"

Ryougi Shiki suddenly asked, "Castler, what exactly is your relationship with the Creation Mother Goddess?"

"Logically speaking, the Creation Mother Goddess shouldn't easily entrust such a blessing to others."

"It's my mother," Lan Ze said with a smile.

Ryougi Shiki's eyes still held a hint of doubt, as if she was still pondering something.

What she cared about most wasn't the Blessing of the Creation Mother Goddess, but rather her curiosity about where the other layer of protection on Lan Ze's body, similar to Root, came from...

The Root is the lifelong pursuit of Magecraft. Even if you search the whole world, you may not be able to find an existence that can reach the Root. Yet this Servant has such a similar "aura" to her.

"Caster, may I ask you a question?" After thinking for a long time, Ryougi Shiki finally spoke.

"Go on," Lan Ze nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"Are there people like me around you...?" Ryougi Shiki asked.

"Someone like you?" Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized.

He nodded slightly. "Yes."

"No wonder you have such a familiar aura..."

Ryougi Shiki murmured to herself, then suddenly looked up and continued, "Are you close to her?"

Lan Ze didn't answer directly, but instead changed the subject, saying, "You and Aika should be two different kinds of beings."

Sajyou Manaka is the link to the Root, while Ryougi Shiki is the Root...

Thinking of this, a strange thought suddenly occurred to Lan Ze: why is it that Shiki's body is the Root, but she looks like a human?

Is there any difference between her body and a normal person's body?

Thinking of this, Lan Ze couldn't help but glance at Shiki Ryougi Shiki more times.

The girl was dressed in a kimono, with her long hair flowing down her back, and wore a pair of wooden clogs. This was actually an outfit that was very unsuitable for fighting, but she had fought Kama in this outfit before, and even managed to defeat him.

Noticing Lan Ze's gaze, Ryougi Shiki tilted her head slightly and said softly, "What's wrong? So you still want to examine me?"

As she spoke, a faint smile unconsciously curved her lips, and for the first time, a hint of mockery seemed to flicker in her usually calm eyes.

"What?" Lan Ze hadn't yet grasped the meaning behind Ryougi Shiki's words.

"This body originates from the Root, you were just curious about this kind of thing and even wanted to explore it, weren't you?" Ryougi Shiki said softly.

No, I'm very simple-minded. I'm not curious about the Root, but about the body... Of course, I'm also very curious about the Root... Lan Ze shook his head firmly. "Don't joke around, Shiki-nee, I'm not that kind of person!"

"However, I'm a rather inquisitive person, and if you'd like, I wouldn't mind looking into the Root."

If it were a normal woman around Lan Ze, she might have already glared at him shyly and hurriedly run away, but Ryougi Shiki stopped and turned to walk in front of Lan Ze.

"W-what?" Lan Ze stammered.

He was completely taken aback by Ryougi Shiki's sudden action and had no idea what she was trying to do.

At that moment, he suddenly saw Ryougi Shiki lower her head slightly and untie the obi (sash) on her kimono.

A glimpse of radiant, snow-white skin came into view, causing Lan Ze's heart to race uncontrollably, and his gaze involuntarily shifted to Ryougi Shiki.

"Miss Shiki, what are you doing?!" Irisviel was startled and quickly turned around to grab Ryougi Shiki's wrist, stopping her from doing anything further.

"Exactly, what are you doing?!" Lan Ze covered his face, staring intently at Ryougi Shiki through the gaps between his fingers.

He never expected that his casual teasing remark would be taken seriously.

... It's probably best not to joke with Sister Shi next time.

Irisviel noticed the gaze fixed intently on her from the side, and her previously gentle and charming demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by an almost icy expression.

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. When she turned to look at Lan Ze again, her eyes had returned to their usual gentle expression, and she said softly, "Caster, you can go out now."

"I will help Miss Shiki put her kimono back on."

Although her tone remained gentle, it carried an air of command that brooked no dissent.

It seems that only at this time does Irisviel show her Master's demeanor, while at other times Irisviel is always so delicate, making people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Lan Ze understood Irisviel's words, took one last look, and then turned and walked out of the closed warehouse.

"Caster, really, you know you shouldn't have said those things..."

Inside the room, Irisviel muttered a complaint under her breath, then softly apologized, "Sorry, he was just joking with you."

Ryougi Shiki nodded gently. "I know."

Did you even know you were untying the kimono's sash...? Irisviel was momentarily speechless, and instead began helping Ryougi Shiki tie her kimono.

But after fiddling with it for a while, she suddenly realized something rather embarrassing.

"I'm sorry... I don't know how to wear these clothes."

"Haven't you worn a kimono before?" Ryougi Shiki asked.

Irisviel nodded slightly.

From the moment she was born, Irisviel knew what fate awaited her; her life as a homunculus was already predetermined.

However, after summoning Caster, Irisviel's originally calm state of mind was stirred, and she began to have some expectations for the future.

"Miss Shiki looks great in this kind of dress," Irisviel added.

Ryougi Shiki's expression softened. "I think it would suit you very well too."

After all, Irisviel was a great beauty. In fact, women like Irisviel would look good in anything.

"Since Miss Shiki has put it that way, I'll give it a try next time I have the chance," Irisviel replied with a smile.

Ryougi Shiki pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Or you can try it now."

"Huh?" Irisviel stared wide-eyed at Ryougi Shiki, puzzled.

"How do we try now?"

"As for kimonos," Ryougi Shiki raised her eyelids, a smile playing at the corners of her eyes, "Isn't there one right here?"

"We just need to change our clothes."

Irisviel hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded slightly. "Well... let's give it a try."

To be honest, she really wanted to see how the kimono would look. Caster had been staring at Ryougi Shiki the whole time, and she thought a big part of the reason was probably because of the kimono.

Maybe... I'll give him a big surprise tonight?

As soon as Lan Ze stepped out of the warehouse, Mo Zai, standing at the door, immediately turned around and asked curiously, "Father King, how did it go?!"

Lan Ze sighed, "I've been too deeply affected by the Black Mud; I'm afraid my days are numbered..."

To everyone's surprise, Mordred wasn't fooled at all. She scoffed, "You have the protection your mother gave you, how could you possibly be affected or corrupted by something like that?"

Mordred said, holding the back of her head with both hands, turning to look at Lan Ze, "Father King, do you think I'm an idiot?"

When she turned around, she saw surprise and confusion in Lan Ze's eyes. He asked curiously, "How did you know I have my mother's blessing?"

Isn't Mordred his son from Britain?

She doesn't seem to have met Mother of All before, so how would she know about this?

"Don't forget, Father King."

Mordred grinned mysteriously and said, "If I had to say, I'm Heroic Spirit from the future, you know?"

"I even know who your lover is," Mordred continued.

"From the future...?" Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood.

The Holy Grail War does not necessarily only summon Heroic Spirit from history; it may also summon Heroic Spirit from the future.

"But aren't you from Britain?" Lan Ze suddenly realized something was wrong. "Britain is from the past, isn't it?"

"In the future, I will live with my Father King," Mordred said proudly, raising her head.

Lan Ze's mind stirred slightly, and he asked, "So, you also know who will be living in that apartment in the future?"

Mordred nodded matter-of-factly, then, as if guessing what Lan Ze wanted to ask, shook his head and said, "But I can't tell my Father King."

"Why?" Lan Ze asked, puzzled.
