Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

While Merlin might be a bit unreliable, at least Ereshkigal is pretty reliable... probably.

Irisviel took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She raised her eyes and said, "Even if I refuse now, you'll still go, won't you?"

Lan Ze nodded.

"In that case, at least let me go with you to the vicinity of Mount Enzou. If anything goes wrong, I can immediately use Command Spells to come to your aid," Irisviel said.

Lan Ze initially wanted to refuse, but upon seeing Irisviel's determined gaze, he ultimately nodded in agreement.

The Command Spells in Irisviel's hand could very well turn the tide of the battle.

"Then let's go together, but you absolutely mustn't do anything reckless."

Irisviel nodded emphatically, then took Lan Ze's arm and whispered, "Let's go."

It would be troublesome if Ereshkigal saw this... Lan Ze glanced at Irisviel's intimate actions, hesitating to speak.

Irisviel raised her innocent, bright eyes and blinked. "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... it's nothing." Lan Ze smiled and left the castle with Irisviel.

At this very moment, in the forest, Ereshkigal sat with her arms crossed, anxiously gazing at the castle.

Merlin stood to the side, smiling slightly, and said, "Since you're so worried, why didn't you just go in with him from the start?"

"What are you worried about? I'm just worried about how to teach that womanizer a lesson!" Ereshkigal snorted, then glanced at Merlin. "And don't think that's the end of the lesson for you."

"Even if the Divine Messenger stops me, I will definitely beat you up again after that."

Merlin's smile instantly turned into a bitter expression, and he said helplessly, "I didn't do anything... I just helped him confess to Miss Shiki--"

He had just finished speaking when he suddenly saw the Cage Gun in Ereshkigal's hand glow with an eerie light. His heart skipped a beat, and he took two steps back, laughing, "Just kidding, just kidding... It was my fault, I shouldn't have done that."

The faint light emanating from Ereshkigal's Cage Gun gradually dimmed.

Just then, Merlin gazed at the end of the forest path and suddenly said, "They're coming out."

Ereshkigal turned her head to look at the end of the forest path, and when she saw Lan Ze, a delicate and sweet smile immediately appeared on her face.

But when he saw the woman following him, his smile immediately vanished.

"Why did this woman come along too..." Ereshkigal muttered to herself.

Seemingly having overheard Ereshkigal's mutterings, Lan Ze explained, "She's my Master. When necessary, she can supply me with magical energy and even use Command Spells to restore my magical energy—"

"I know!" Ereshkigal suddenly interrupted angrily.

Her eyes were filled with resentment as she whispered, "Do you think I don't know?"

Back at home, it could be said that only Ereshkigal witnessed the entire process, seeing firsthand how Irisviel "supplied" magic to Lan Ze.

Irisviel tilted her head slightly and glanced at Lan Ze: "Caster, who is this girl...?"

Lan Ze's heart skipped a beat, his brain racing as he secretly pondered how best to introduce Ereshkigal.

At this moment, Merlin suddenly smiled and said, "She's the goddess of the Underworld. Anyway, let's talk as we walk."

Irisviel looked thoughtful and nodded slightly.

I don't know why, but I always feel that although this goddess looks very dignified, her relationship with Caster isn't as simple as it seems...

On the other side, Lan Ze felt a sense of relief and secretly glanced at Merlin.

Who knew the White-Haired Monk could be reliable sometimes...

Merlin maintained his smile, but as he turned around, he gave Lan Ze a wink and gave him a thumbs up, seemingly to convey "Don't worry, bro" or "Leave it to me."

Mount Enzou!

Kama was sitting in front of Ryuudou Temple's courtyard, swinging his legs idly, looking quite relaxed.

Actually, people lived here at first, but she was the goddess of love, and for their own good, she used her charm to command them to temporarily evacuate Ryuudou Temple.

After all, once the rules of the Holy Grail are modified, it will inevitably be discovered by others, and Ryuudou Temple may become a battlefield for Servant. If possible, it's best not to involve innocent people.

"Huh... are they back?"

At that moment, Kama suddenly muttered to himself, and with a "whoosh," jumped down from the courtyard and headed towards the entrance of Ryuudou Temple.

In reality, she didn't have high hopes, after all, the enemy was the Creation Mother Goddess, and if she remembered correctly, the Goddess of the Underworld she summoned also belonged to that mythological system.

Could the Goddess of the Underworld truly defeat Tiamat, and even bring her child out?

Although I didn't quite believe it, the other person's confident demeanor at the time made it impossible not to believe them...

As Kama thought of this, he saw four figures appear in his field of vision, one of whom was white-haired, and another... was also white-haired.

If I remember correctly, that guy was Catser's Master, right?!

They even brought Caster's Master with them?!

Kama suppressed her excitement, maintaining her aloof goddess image. Her gaze swept coldly over the group, a sexy smile playing on her lips, "You did a good job."

She acted as if everything was going as she expected, as if she had everything under control, but she still couldn't hide the surprise and delight in her eyes as she stared intently at Lan Ze.

Irisviel frowned slightly, Ereshkigal also frowned, looking at Kama with displeasure.

Fortunately, Merlin suddenly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master, I have not failed you!"

"After consulting with Caster, I brought him here."

Kama immediately sensed something amiss in the conversation and asked, "Negotiation...?"

"I will stay here while you modify the Greater Grail in Fuyuki, until you finish modifying the rules," Lan Ze said.

Kama's expression shifted slightly, and he abruptly turned to look at Merlin: "You told him everything?"

Is this guy an idiot? He actually confessed that he was planning to cheat?!

Merlin scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "To be honest, I'm doing this for Master good. Modifying the Greater Grail is a complex project, and we might be attacked by a group of other Servant. If you're busy, Master, the few of us might not be enough to withstand Servant onslaught."

"So, Caster wasn't captured by you, but came here on his own?" Kama asked, looking at the boy with suspicion.

She hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on Lan Ze: "Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you again?"

"I'm afraid." Lan Ze nodded.

"But the instant I'm covered in your Black Mud, I will also unleash my strongest finishing move," Lan Ze said.

Kama merely sneered, "Do you think your Noble Phantasm will be of any use to me?"

Lan Ze smiled gently and said, "My greatest strength is not my Noble Phantasm, but my singing voice."

Kama: "..."

This guy... dares to threaten me?

Without a doubt, Lan Ze's use of "singing" was just one meaning; what he really meant was: If you lay a hand on me, I'll call for my mom.

Kama's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "Why would you help me cheat?"

Logically speaking, if she were to modify the Greater Grail, it would be very disadvantageous for the other Servant. Why would this Servant, whom she had recently been chasing, risk coming to help her?

Lan Ze simply smiled and said, "Just know that I will help you unconditionally in this matter, and that's enough."

Kama gazed into Lan Ze's eyes, and Lan Ze met her gaze honestly.

After a long pause, she suddenly licked her bright red lips, puffed out her chest proudly, and said softly, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, big brother."

Just a moment ago she had a mature, older woman's voice, but now it had suddenly transformed into a loli's voice, clear and sweet, yet with an alluring quality.

Lan Ze was simply attracted to her, while Irisviel felt her heart racing uncontrollably, and her cheeks slowly flushed.

Kama grabbed Lan Ze's wrist and turned to walk into the courtyard. "Come with me. I'll set up Magic Barrier. Let's keep this a secret for as long as possible. If we're discovered, we'll have to trouble you."

She paused mid-sentence, instinctively turning to look at the foot of the mountain, and murmured to herself:

"Looks like someone's pretty perceptive... I've only just started preparing, and already Servant has noticed?"

Merlin turned his head to look, his gaze lingering for a moment before he scratched his head and sighed, "This is going to be a real headache..."

He had originally planned to rest for another night, but it looks like today will be another day of overtime.

Someone has already realized it...? Lan Ze was startled. He closed his eyes slightly and sensed the Servant near Mount Enzou.

Soon, Lan Ze quietly opened his eyes.

There really are Servant going up the mountain!

And judging from their appearance, they are Servant I've never seen before...

Thinking of this, Lan Ze was both surprised and somewhat moved.

After fighting the Holy Grail War for so long, it seems like I'll finally see a stranger...

"I'll go take a look." After saying that, Lan Ze strode out of the courtyard and headed towards the mountain gate of Ryuudou Temple.

Ereshkigal thought for a moment, then followed him out, turning to Merlin at the same time. "Since you want to take advantage of the chaos, then protect the woman next to you."

Meanwhile, Mr. Jin, a concerned citizen, was leaning back on the sofa in the Tohsaka Family, toying with a glass of red wine. Suddenly, he gently put down the glass, a keen interest in his eyes, and murmured to himself:

"My mother is right here, yet that bastard used so many of my Noble Phantasm again...?"

It seems Lan Ze has encountered some kind of enemy.

Gilgamesh turned his head to look in the direction of Ryuudou Temple, his eyes incredibly deep. After a brief gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, forming a pleased arc.

His casual clothes suddenly transformed into dazzling golden armor.

The next moment, Gilgamesh a step forward, transformed into golden light particles, and disappeared from the Tohsaka Family.

The direction he headed was precisely where Lan Ze was at that moment.

--Mount Enzou!

Just as Gilgamesh turned to leave, Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly called out from behind:

"Your Majesty, where are you planning to go...?"

Gilgamesh glanced at Tohsaka Tokiomi snorted coldly, "As one of the administrators of Fuyuki, haven't you noticed anything amiss?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi was taken aback; to be honest, he didn't quite understand Gilgamesh's words.

At that moment, Tohsaka Tokiomi's peripheral vision suddenly fell on a Magecraft instrument beside him. After looking at it for a while, Tohsaka Tokiomi's expression changed slightly, and he abruptly looked up. "Someone is modifying the foundation of the Greater Grail?!"

This is the foundation of the Greater Grail that the Three Founding Families worked hard for several generations to build.

And now, someone is secretly tampering with the foundation of the Greater Grail, intending to make all their efforts futile?!

Gilgamesh sneered, "Your reaction isn't too slow. It seems that although you're a foolish subject, there's still hope for you."

"I will go and stop them first; as for how you should act, that's up to you."

After Gilgamesh finished speaking, he turned into golden particles and disappeared from the Tohsaka Family's hall.

Tohsaka Tokiomi took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and turned to look in the direction of the Holy Church.

The Greater Grail can be considered the cornerstone of Fuyuki's family, Three Founding Families. No matter who the opponent is, they must stop this from happening.

"I should go and meet up with Kotomine Kirei now..." With that thought, Tohsaka Tokiomi turned and left the Tohsaka Family without further hesitation.

Fortunately, the Servant he summoned was the King of Heroes. As long as he wasn't facing King Arthur or a god, the King of Heroes could easily crush any Servant he encountered...

But the thought of gods Tohsaka Tokiomi rub his temples with a slight headache.

According to the King, Sakura is now possessed by Cupid and has become the Master in the Holy Grail War. Does this mean that this Holy Grail War could very well end up being a battle between him and his daughter...?

What if it turns out like that...?

While pondering these troublesome matters, Tohsaka Tokiomi quickened his pace and headed towards the church.

Ryuudou Temple.
