Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

I ended up in the wrong bed...

Lan Ze withdrew his wandering hand, pondering the best explanation, when he heard Ryougi Shiki's calm voice again. "You're here to see Irisviel?"

Lan Ze: "..."

Even with his quick wit, he didn't know how to answer properly.

In the dead of night, sneaking into a woman's boudoir, hugging her while his hands roam freely over her body, and then calling out another woman's name... If this happened to the little girl at home, Aika would probably have turned evil and stabbed Lan Ze a few times, or tied him up and locked him in the basement.

Fortunately, the other party is Shi, and she is not the jealous type of woman, which can be seen from her current reaction.

Ryougi Shiki didn't seem very angry; at least for now, she appeared quite calm.

"Why are you in Irisviel's room...?" Lan Ze asked tentatively.

He paused, glanced down at the clothes on the girl in his arms, and continued, "... and she's wearing her clothes?"

If Ryougi Shiki had been wearing her own clothes from the beginning, there would have been no way Lan Ze could have mistaken her for someone else.

But he didn't expect that during the time he was away taking care of Mother of All, Ryougi Shiki would actually change into Irisviel's clothes...

"Something happened, and we exchanged clothes." Ryougi Shiki said this, turning slightly to face Lan Ze and raising her head.

Her eyes crinkled with a smile, and for the first time, a hint of amusement flickered in her usually calm gaze. "If we hadn't exchanged clothes, I wouldn't have discovered what happened tonight."

"It's quite interesting," she continued.

Lan Ze was silenced Ryougi Shiki.

"What kind of relationship do you have with your Master?" Ryougi Shiki continued to ask.

At this point, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and her seemingly peaceful face suddenly seemed to carry a hint of danger.

Not understanding emotions doesn't mean you understand nothing, nor does it mean you're a novice.

She is Omniscience and Omnipotence "god". In the end, they are now in a romantic relationship, and her lover seems to have an extremely close relationship with his Master.

As a "normal person," this is intolerable.

Lan Ze blinked and said matter-of-factly, "Master-Servant Relationship."

" In Master-Servant Relationship... would there be such intimate contact like just now?" Ryougi Shiki continued to ask.

Lan Ze sighed, "Actually, my contract with Irisviel is rather special. To replenish my magic power, I need to use other methods..."

Ryougi Shiki pondered for a moment, then looked up and stared into Lan Ze's eyes. "So, your magic power was depleted, and you came to her to replenish it?"

The other party had offered him a way out, so Lan Ze naturally accepted it, nodding, "That's how it is."

Unexpectedly, a faint smile appeared on Ryougi Shiki's lips Ryougi Shiki cool, slender hand gently touched Lan Ze's chest, and she whispered, "Caster, your magic power is almost overflowing right now. You don't seem to need to replenish it, do you?"

"It's more like an urgent need to unleash magic."

As it turns out, not understanding the Origin Shiki of emotions doesn't mean lacking intelligence. Ryougi Shiki's intelligence is actually quite high; she even just dug a pit for Lan Ze to jump into.

If I had known, I would have refrained from doing anything reckless. I never expected that healing myself would cause such a problem... Lan Ze suddenly felt a little regretful.

After replenishing his magic power with Tiamat, he didn't disturb her since Mother of All was still sleeping. He was thinking of going to find Irisviel to sign a contract and release some of his magic power, but unexpectedly, Ryougi Shiki was wearing Irisviel's clothes!

But as a man who had weathered many storms, Lan Ze remained calm, merely sighing softly as he said, "Have you already sensed the magical power within me?"

Ryougi Shiki nodded slightly. "A very powerful magical force, it could even overflow at any moment..."

It's really strange, though. Why is this child suddenly so full of magical power?

"It's because of the Command Spells," Lan Ze said.

"Just now, when I went to my mother's side, someone used Command Spells to try and summon me to their side, but I resisted the effect of the Command Spells, and my magical energy was replenished under Command Spells influence."

"Command Spells?" Ryougi Shiki paused slightly. "You haven't signed a contract with Irisviel yet, have you?"

"It's the Ruler," Lan Ze said, "The referee of this Holy Grail War."

The ruler, or arbiter, appears in the Holy Grail War for two main reasons: first, the Holy Grail War has a unique format and the outcome is unknown, so the Holy Grail decides for itself whether a ruler is needed; second, the Holy Grail War's influence may distort the world.

Clearly, the Holy Grail War that Lan Ze is in falls into both of these categories.

The outcome is unknown, and it could distort the world, hence the existence of the ruler.

After all, Fuyuki alone has Ryougi Shiki Beasts, plus Ryougi Shiki who is almost on par with Kama, Gilgamesh who is one of the Golden Trio, and Aizawa who can also reach the "Flash Class"Lan Ze...

It's fair to say that if a major battle were to break out, it would be a huge disaster for Fuyuki.

The ruler is the referee summoned by the Holy Grail to suppress such a crisis.

"The Ruler used Command Spells on you?" Ryougi Shiki's eyes showed a hint of doubt. "But why...?"

Seeing that the other party's attention was completely drawn, Lan Ze was secretly pleased, but his face remained serious as he sighed, "I don't know the reason either, but the Ruler hiding in the shadows did indeed use Command Spells on me just now."

Ryougi Shiki looked thoughtful.

At the same time, Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems my attention shift was successful; Sister Shi has already begun to consider Ruler's purpose.

However, just as Lan Ze Ryougi Shiki after a moment of contemplation, "So, is there any necessary connection between Ruler using Command Spells on you and your plan to get intimate with your Master just now?"

Lan Ze: "..."

She actually managed to keep her mind working in that situation; her reaction speed is amazing...

After a brief silence, under Ryougi Shiki's gaze, Lan Ze sighed and asked, "Otherwise, who else can I turn to?"

This time, Ryougi Shiki was stunned for a moment, not quite able to react.

That seems to make sense. Mordred is out of the question, and Tiamat, as his "mother," should also be excluded. It seems that only his Master and his girlfriend can help him release his magic.

"In that case, you can just come find me--"

Lan Ze sighed and interrupted, "If I came to you directly, would you agree?"

Ryougi Shiki paused, stunned again.

Honestly, if Lan Ze were to approach her now, would she accept being so intimate with this boy so quickly?

Holding hands is fine, but taking it any further...

It seems I've successfully convinced Shiki-nee... Lan Ze looked at the Ryougi Shiki and was about to press his advantage.

At that moment, Ryougi Shiki suddenly whispered, "I understand."

"?"

Lan Ze paused, his voice trailing off as he was about to continue, momentarily lost in thought.

Ryougi Shiki wore a faint smile, but said nothing more.

Her feelings for Lan Ze were complicated. She didn't know if she had any feelings for him, but because she liked the Servant she had summoned, and because the Servant raved about his Father King, she developed some expectations for Lan Ze out of affection for him.

Perhaps the other person really can develop feelings for me?

As it turns out, she does now feel a certain emotion growing within her.

Those were negative emotions. The thought of this person holding her so intimately, even with his hands on her body without restraint, filled her with surprise at first, followed by a strange sense of shame.

After that, when she heard the other person call out "Irisviel," the shame was quickly replaced by a very unpleasant negative emotion, and she had an urge to stab him.

But at the same time, absolute reason told her that she couldn't do that.

Therefore, after that brief period of thought, Ryougi Shiki finally came to an answer—to observe for a while longer.

"Why are you suddenly silent? Or is it that the person you want to be intimate with has to be Irisviel, and not me?" Ryougi Shiki asked softly.

No, it's not that. I was just a little surprised by your answer... Lan Ze gently shook his head. "Of course not, it's just a bit unexpected."

He had already braced himself for the other party's urge to draw their sword and kill him. After all, it was one thing to mistake a girl for someone else, but to actually hug her while calling out someone else's name... Perhaps Ryougi Shiki's personality is much gentler than I imagined? Lan Ze couldn't help but think to himself.

"Do you want to continue what you were doing?" Ryougi Shiki suddenly asked.

To be honest, the other party's question was really tempting, and Lan Ze's heart beat faster. He subconsciously swallowed and stared at the woman with long, flowing hair in the dim light.

"Um."

After Lan Ze answered softly, Ryougi Shiki raised her head slightly, her delicate face flushed with a faint blush, her moist lips pursed. Without needing to say anything, Lan Ze knew what to do next.

Creak.

Suddenly, a faint ray of light came through the crack in the door. Lan Ze, who was about to look down, froze slightly and subconsciously looked up, just in time to see the door being pushed open silently.

Irisviel!

Holy crap... I should have just stayed snuggled up in my Mother of All's arms and had a nice sleep tonight. Why did I even bother running off like this...?

Lan Ze felt a pang of regret.

Fortunately, I am Heroic Spirit, so I can revert to my spirit form.

Lan Ze's body suddenly stiffened.

After being corrupted by the power of the Black Mud, the Servant is unable to revert to a spirit form!

Ryougi Shiki seemed to realize something as well, and moved slightly closer to Lan Ze, as if she intended to help cover for him.

Why do I feel like I've done something wrong? I'm clearly his lover, aren't I...?

The girl, who was usually calm and composed, felt a strange, inexplicable feeling.

She was Lan Ze's official girlfriend after he confessed his feelings to her. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be strange for lovers to be intimate at night, right?

But why do I feel a sense of excitement, as if I've done something wrong, when I'm with Irisviel?

Before she could think further, Irisviel, standing at the door, asked softly in a gentle voice, "I think I heard something coming from inside the room just now. Did something happen, Miss Shiki?"

The intelligent and gentle Irisviel, dressed in an exquisite and beautiful kimono, stood at the doorway, gathering a strand of her silver hair, her beautiful and clear eyes gazing at the girl lying in bed inside the room.

Fortunately, it was late autumn, and the blankets at Einsbern Castle had already been replaced with soft down comforters. As long as the lights weren't turned on and no detection Magecraft was used, they definitely wouldn't be able to detect my presence... Lan Ze secretly rejoiced.

"It's nothing. I think it's just your imagination, or perhaps the song of the Creation Mother Goddess just now drifted into this room," Ryougi Shiki replied calmly.

"I see..." Irisviel hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering slightly, before continuing, "Have you seen Caster?"

"I don't know," Ryougi Shiki replied.

Irisviel looked thoughtful and said softly, "In that case, Miss Shiki, you should get some rest early tonight. I'll go check on Caster."

After saying that, she turned around and quietly closed the door.

Lan Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open again.

Irisviel, her silver hair flowing freely, her red eyes filled with tenderness, gazed at the girl on the bedside table, and spoke in a gentle, resonant voice:

"Miss Shiki, may I rest here tonight?"

"I've been thinking about it carefully. Caster seems to have gone to the room of the Creation Mother Goddess and probably hasn't come out yet, so I'd like to sign the contract with him first thing tomorrow morning."

Ryougi Shiki lowered her eyes, glanced at the boy in her arms, then nodded gently and replied:

"OK."

"This situation is getting a bit bad... I need to find a way to get out of here first."

Lan Ze lay in bed, secretly observing the surrounding situation... or more precisely, the situation with Irisviel.

Although there was a Ryougi Shiki between him and Irisviel, he could still barely catch her movements.

Ultimately, I am Servant, and if I want to conceal my presence, the other party may not be able to detect me.

"Miss Shiki, you seem quite interested in Caster?" Irisviel suddenly asked softly.

Ryougi Shiki, who had been pondering something, returned to reality upon hearing this and nodded frankly, "Yes, I'm interested."

"Why?" Irisviel asked curiously. "A beauty like Miss Shiki should have many suitors, right? You don't seem to have met Caster very often, do you?"

Ryougi Shiki smiled and said, "If it could be explained clearly, then it wouldn't be a feeling."

"Human emotions cannot be understood through data analysis alone."

Her Root made her omniscient and omnipotent, but just like a computer, which can calculate most things, it cannot calculate human emotions.

She herself was well aware of this.

"If that's the case, it seems that's really the case," Irisviel murmured to herself.

"Well done, Shiki-nee..." Lan Ze was secretly delighted, because Irisviel's attention was clearly completely drawn to Ryougi Shiki. If he secretly got out of bed and hid now, she would definitely not notice.
