Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking Chapter 142

Those little eyes looked full of anticipation.

Kama paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and gently shook his head. "No."

Ereshkigal's eyes immediately fell, and she said, "Don't you have any problems that you need me to solve?"

Kama hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, there are difficulties... but even if you are the Goddess of the Underworld, I'm afraid there's not much you can do."

At this point, her mood suddenly turned heavy, and she let out a soft sigh.

Ereshkigal immediately perked up, her eyes Gilgamesh, and asked, "You tell me first."

After a moment's hesitation, Kama finally began to recount the story of Tiamat.

Of course, she deliberately skipped over the part about her defeat. In Kama's description, the two masters fought to a standstill, and she and Tiamat were evenly matched. Then they reached an agreement to each take a step back and did not continue fighting.

Ereshkigal listened intently, and when she heard that Kama and Tiamat were evenly matched, she rested her chin on her hand and looked thoughtful.

Then, he suddenly said, "So, Master, you wanted to bring Caster here, but Tiamat stopped you, right?"

Kama nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I'll help you!" Ereshkigal suddenly clenched her fist, looking quite imposing.

"As I said before, with Tiamat around, it's impossible to capture Caster." Kama slowly shook his head. "Compared to that, we should prioritize dealing with the other Servant— "

"Master!" Ereshkigal interrupted Kama, "Don't you want revenge?"

"They beat you up like this! Don't you want to catch that wretched Caster and teach him a lesson?!" Ereshkigal grew angrier and angrier, until finally it seemed she wanted nothing more than to rush up to Lan Ze and punch him.

The shared hatred and indignation resonated with Kama. She looked up at the Goddess of the Underworld before her, and after a long pause, she grew angrier the more she thought about it.

I am Kamadeva, and the beast that obstructs Humanity's Order! How could I possibly be humiliated by a mere human, and even intend to cower like a coward?

Isn't this incredibly embarrassing for her?

Moreover, the other party saw her crying... Thinking of this, Kama's face flushed slightly with embarrassment, and she subconsciously touched the face towel in her hand.

"No, I wasn't beaten up at all," Kama suddenly realized and said unhappily.

Then, she paused, and continued, "I will contact Merlin to find a way to lure Caster out. You take the opportunity to eliminate him and bring him to Mount Enzou."

"Leave it to me, Master," Ereshkigal said with a beautiful smile.

"Oh, right,"

As Ereshkigal was about to leave, Kama hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Try not to hurt them."

Ereshkigal paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at the little girl behind her, her eyes filled with a strange expression.

Could this Master have taken a liking to that guy...?

Feeling uncomfortable under Ereshkigal's strange gaze, Kama said loudly, "That Caster is still useful to me, and he has a close relationship with the Creation Mother Goddess. We don't need to anger the Creation Mother Goddess."

"Hmm... I see, as expected of a master." Ereshkigal nodded slightly.

"Then I'll be off, Master," Ereshkigal continued.

After Kama nodded, the Goddess of the Underworld, holding the Cage Gun and looking dignified, turned and disappeared into Mount Enzou.

"If it weren't for the Holy Grail War, life would be so leisurely."

Lan Ze lay on the soft bed, gazing at the ceiling, inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from Irisviel as he murmured to himself with a sense of wonder.

Unfortunately, this Holy Grail War must be won no matter what.

In addition to that, he also had to cheat... no, to be precise, save Irisviel and replace the Greater Grail in Irisviel's body with the Holy Grail in his backpack, taking the place of the wish-granting machine.

As Lan Ze thought of this, he slightly turned his head to glance at the silver-haired woman beside him.

Irisviel wore a pure white dress, her smooth, fair shoulders slightly exposed beneath the thin straps, and her gentle red eyes gazed quietly at Lan Ze's profile, as if she were lost in thought.

"Didn't we agree that I'd stay here with you so you could rest? Why aren't you sleeping and keep staring at me?" Lan Ze asked curiously.

"Sorry, I was just spacing out." Irisviel shook her head gently and smiled tenderly. "I think Caster is very handsome."

Lan Ze simply replied calmly, "I'm not handsome, Irisviel."

Irisviel shook her head, her eyes gentle. "In my eyes, you are the most handsome person—"

She had barely finished speaking when she heard Lan Ze continue, "I was way more handsome in my prime than I am now."

Irisviel: "..."

Even the gentle and charming woman was speechless upon hearing this. Then, she quickly understood the meaning behind Lan Ze's words and asked in confusion, "What does Caster look like when he grows up?"

Lan Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, it's very cool... but only by obtaining the Holy Grail can I wish for it to remove the corruption from my body and completely restore my original handsomeness."

Thinking of this, Lan Ze sighed again, "However, this might lead to a very important problem."

"What?" Irisviel asked instinctively.

"I'm already so captivating to you now, if I were to completely revert to my original state... to be honest, I'm a little worried that you might become even more deeply entangled and unable to extricate yourself."

Irisviel paused, blinked at Lan Ze, and then 'pfft' covered her mouth while turning her back to Lan Ze, her shoulders trembling as if she was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Lan Ze, a little annoyed, poked Irisviel's cheek. "Are you laughing at me?"

"No, no," Irisviel replied with a hint of amusement, "I didn't mean to mock you."

"You were clearly laughing, and you didn't stop!" Lan Ze complained.

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry..." Irisviel curled up almost into a ball, burying her face in her knees. She tried her best to maintain her usual gentle and considerate image, but she still couldn't control the urge to laugh.

It wasn't really anything funny, but for some reason, the more she tried to tell herself not to laugh, the more she inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to punish you."

Lan Ze suddenly pounced on her, threw off the blanket, grabbed Irisviel's delicate feet with both hands, and nimbly tickled the soles of Irisviel feet with his two fingers.

Irisviel reacted extremely violently, nearly jumping off the bed and kicking her legs wildly, but she couldn't break free at all.

"No, Caster, I'm sorry... I really know I was wrong!"

Lan Ze persisted, letting out a devilish laugh, "It's too late to admit your mistakes now. Accept my punishment, Irisviel!"

He tickled her as he watched the woman struggle desperately, watching Irisviel writhe and twist her body until he saw tears of laughter welling up in her eyes, and only then did he finally stop.

Irisviel lay limply at the head of the bed, her hair clinging to her flushed, delicate face, breathing softly, and appearing to be drenched in sweat.

Lan Ze looked down at her, thought for a moment, and then used his Illusion Manifestation ability to produce a face towel. He was about to hand it to her, but Irisviel reacted violently, shrinking back and saying urgently, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at your Caster just now—"

She had just finished speaking when she saw Lan Ze carefully wiping the sweat from her forehead with a towel.

Irisviel was slightly taken aback, but then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, aren't you curious about what I saw in that secret room that Yubis took me to today?" Lan Ze asked while wiping her face.

Irisviel gently shook her head. "Since Caster didn't say, it means it's a very important secret that can't be known by others, right?"

"So I'll wait until you're ready to talk before I listen."

Lan Ze hummed in agreement, pulled the blanket up, and whispered, "Let's go to sleep."

He lay on the bed, enjoying this brief moment of bliss. After an unknown amount of time, Lan Ze suddenly sensed a familiar yet irritating aura quietly drifting in from outside the castle.

Irisviel immediately turned to look at Lan Ze and whispered, "Castleer, a Servant has invaded the castle."

"I know," Lan Ze smiled, "But he's not an enemy."

"Not an enemy...?" Irisviel was somewhat confused and puzzled.

"Yes, he's not an enemy," Lan Ze confirmed again, then continued, "Anyway, you should continue resting. I'll go see him."

Merlin stood in the Einzbern castle, tilting his head and scanning his surroundings warily.

He was still somewhat aware of his own limitations. He knew that if he ran into Lan Ze right now, the other party might just unleash an "Excalibur." Although what he had done was for the sake of Humanity's Order and didn't do anything bad to Lan Ze, there was nothing he could do, since he had still managed to hurt someone to some extent.

When Kama sent him out to scout the enemy, he only planned to wander around for a bit and then go back. But recently, Kama suddenly said she would send someone to help him take down Lan Ze...

To be honest, Merlin didn't think Lancelot alone could handle Lan Ze; he figured the other side had summoned some powerful Heroic Spirit again.

Judging from the Master's tone at the time, it sounded like a very powerful Heroic Spirit, the kind that could guarantee victory in the Holy Grail War simply by being summoned... But does such an exaggerated Heroic Spirit really exist?

Upon realizing this, Merlin saw the figure of that Servant... and at that moment, he was certain that if it was this person, he could indeed help him capture Lan Ze.

Merlin pondered this as he concealed his presence and walked through the castle.

He walked along the forest path, admiring the gradually setting sun.

Just then, as if sensing something, Merlin suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at a large tree on his left.

"Lan Ze, are you there?" Merlin took several steps back with great alertness, and at the same time drew his staff to confront Lan Ze.

In Merlin's sight, Lan Ze's figure silently appeared on a tree branch, golden light flashing behind him. He glared at Merlin with hostility. "You actually have the courage to come see me? Should I praise your courage, you bastard!"

"Lan Ze, let's sit down and talk. Fighting and killing isn't good." Merlin smiled gently.

"If I wanted to escape, no Servant in this Holy Grail War could catch me," he said again with a confident tone.

Upon hearing this, Lan Ze remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was somewhat troubled.

That's true. Merlin's strength has never been his raw power, but rather his exceptional ability to escape and his mastery of illusion. Even though what has descended upon him now is just an avatar, his ability to escape alone is no less than that of the Golden Trio.

Although he usually seems carefree and irresponsible, this man is indeed not to be underestimated.

Looks like I'll have to use my ultimate technique... Lan Ze's mouth opened slightly, about to use the "call for mom" tactic, when he suddenly heard Merlin's lips curl into a slight smile as he called out, "Come out, Lancer!"

Lan Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly looked down at the man on the ground.

This guy even brought backup?!

Lancer... was it Kama just took from a Master?

Lan Ze stared intently at the white-haired mage. "Merlin, are you really going to help Kama?"

Merlin smiled gently, "I'm doing this for the sake of Humanity's Order, but it's also for your own good, Lan Ze."

"For my own good?" The Gate of Babylon behind Lan Ze quietly unfolded, and amidst the golden ripples, the weapon revealed its sharpness.

Lan Ze stared at Merlin, whose smile was gentle, "Taking me back to see Kama is for my own good? You'd better have a convincing reason to convince me now, otherwise..."

The Noble Phantasm within the Gate of Babylon are already stirring; if Lan Ze merely raises his hand, those Noble Phantasm will be unleashed upon Merlin.

Merlin smiled. "I know you like pretty girls, so..."

"Are you interested in my Master? I mean... would you mind finding Mordred another mother?"

"You might as well just die, Merlin!" Lan Ze raised his hand, and as golden light surged behind him, various weapons blasted towards Merlin at once.

The golden-plated Noble Phantasm shot out towards Merlin.

But Merlin remained calm and simply raised his head and shouted, "My Goddess, what are you waiting for!"

"Snort."

As Merlin's voice faded, a haughty and cold snort suddenly came from a certain direction in the forest. Then, a ghostly blue flame suddenly erupted from the ground, spreading across the sky and silently resisting Lan Ze's Noble Phantasm.

At the same time, from the end of the forest path, a huge skeleton monster quietly emerged.

"... Ereshkigal?!" Lan Ze exclaimed in disbelief.

The skeleton monster looked terrifying, inspiring a sense of dread at first glance. However, Merlin's face lit up with joy when he saw it. Just as he was about to speak, the skeleton monster raised its giant claw and suddenly slammed it down towards Merlin's head.

As the skeleton monster's slap landed, a human-shaped crater appeared in the ground. Merlin coughed several times inside the crater, spitting out the dirt in his mouth, and angrily turned to look at the skeleton monster behind him. "Goddess, he's the enemy! I'm your teammate!"

"This guy is my Divine Messenger, who else should I hit if not you?" Ereshkigal's cold voice rang out. It seemed to be a huge skeleton monster, floating behind Merlin. In the gusts of cold wind, it gave people goosebumps.

Lan Ze looked up at the skeleton monster, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

Is this really the Holy Grail War...? Why are all the people I've summoned recognizing my own?

Also, why can gods be summoned by the Holy Grail...?

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Ereshkigal pressed down on Merlin with one hand, while looking at Lan Ze with icy eyes.

"Can you change back first? I want to see what you used to look like," Lan Ze said.

The skeleton hesitated for a moment, but ultimately transformed into a blonde girl wearing a crown, accompanied by a faint light. Holding the Cage Gun, her gaze was cold, her arms crossed, and she sneered, "Satisfied now?"
