Moon World Girlfriend Comes Knocking

She had been watching the live stream in her room the whole time; how could she not know about this?

Tiamat's thoughts suddenly paused, and she looked at Merlin with a puzzled expression.

Come to think of it, isn't Merlin's doing the part that led to Shiki and Ryougi Shiki becoming a couple...?

Why does he dare to swagger up to me like this now?

Tiamat tilted her head in confusion, then raised her finger.

Suddenly, a jet of water shot up from beneath Merlin's feet, like an uppercut hitting him on Merlin chin.

Merlin did a 360-degree Thomas spin in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

But this nightmare seemed thick-skinned, only clutching its chin and muttering, "It hurts, it hurts..."

Then he looked up at Tiamat, about to complain, but he caught Tiamat's unfriendly gaze, so he quickly raised his hand:

"Mother, please wait a moment. I've come to tell you some news. Please let me finish before you beat me!"

"I already know they're a couple," Tiamat said softly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her red, starry eyes for the first time.

Although she wouldn't stop her child from making friends with whomever he wanted, Merlin was too wicked. If she didn't teach him a lesson, he would bully her child again next time.

"That's not all!" Merlin exclaimed hastily. "After Miss Shiki and Aika's encounter, a conflict broke out, and most of the city's streets were damaged."

Seeing that Tiamat remained silent and only stared at him, Merlin continued, "After that, Lan Ze stopped them, but Miss Shiki just confessed her feelings to Lan Ze."

Tiamat nodded slightly. "She's asserting sovereignty."

Merlin looked up in surprise. "You even know this?"

"There are similar storylines in TV dramas," Tiamat said.

She usually watches anime and TV dramas when she's bored at home, so she can roughly understand what Ryougi Shiki is thinking.

"Did you come here just to say this?" Tiamat asked.

That's enough about that. The real issue is what comes next... Recalling Lan Ze's shady dealings, even someone as clueless as Merlin felt a headache coming on. He paused for a moment, then said, "Later... Miss Shiki proposed to him."

Tiamat paused, blinked, and then nodded silently.

While somewhat unexpected, it wasn't entirely surprising.

After all, the Origin Shiki person's lack of emotional understanding is understandable, so it's not surprising that they would rashly bring up such a thing...

Without first understanding human emotions, rashly proposing a request to "enter into a contract" is bound to be rejected.

As Tiamat thought of this, she noticed the white-haired mage before her remained silent. She tilted her head slightly, her bright red eyes gazing at Merlin.

"Then what?"

"Then..."

Merlin paused for a moment, then said, "He accepted the marriage proposal."

Tiamat blinked, stared at Merlin for a long time, then tilted her head slightly.

"Aaa?"

Tiamat sat quietly on the edge of the bed, tilting her head to look at Merlin, without moving.

She stared at Merlin, seemingly frozen in place.

Tiamat felt that something must be wrong.

My own child is adorable and filial... how could I possibly marry another woman?

Although she had long sensed that her son's filial piety towards her seemed to have changed somewhat, she didn't mind.

After all, when you're "Aaa," he's the only one who can "Aaa" with you... It's not unacceptable that he has special feelings for you.

That's why she later came up with that special method to punish her child.

Tiamat has always been very tolerant of the LSP-like feelings that Zai has shown.

But... that doesn't mean marriage can be tolerated!

Seeing her child being affectionate with others, she could simply smile and let it go, because this immense human heart could not only embrace everything about Lan Ze, but also everything about Lan Ze.

Well... actually, it's because the people who had close contact with Lan Ze before were all children around her.

Like Ereshkigal and even Ishtar... this goddess only became intimate with the child because she took Magic Potion that she accidentally added to the fish soup, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

Kishinami Hakuno acted on her own, and since she wasn't present at the time, there was nothing she could do...

But in short, although she saw Lan Ze behaving intimately with others, she wasn't particularly angry.

Tiamat was still slightly stunned upon hearing the news of the marriage.

It's strange, isn't it?

Her child shouldn't be the type to readily agree to a marriage proposal... Was she threatened by that Ryougi Shiki?

It's obvious that Zai isn't the type of person who would readily agree to such a request.

And this happened in front of Sajyou Manaka.

Could it be... that Merlin was lying to her?

That's right... Merlin is a big liar who likes to lie, and he might be lying!

As Tiamat thought of this, she raised her head again, a dangerous glint suddenly appearing in her bright red eyes. Her clear voice rang out as she softly asked:

"Are you lying to me?"

In an instant, immense pressure overwhelmed Merlin, and the white-haired mage quickly waved his hand and laughed, "How could that be? How could I dare to lie to you?"

"To be honest, I'm still quite surprised... because based on what I know of Lan Ze, he doesn't seem like the type to accept such a hasty marriage proposal."

Merlin glanced warily at Tiamat as he said this, and cautiously added, "But he did agree."

Tiamat fell silent and just stared at Merlin.

Merlin dared not move at all.

They were afraid that even the slightest movement would provoke Tiamat's anger.

Yes, even Merlin, who is devoid of emotions, can now sense the dangerous aura emanating from Tiamat.

He couldn't understand emotions, but his will to survive was still very strong.

After a long silence, Tiamat's eyes suddenly darkened, as if losing their luster, and she stared intently at Merlin: "Take me to him."

Merlin nodded without hesitation. "Okay!"

As he spoke, he suddenly hesitated.

When he came to find Tiamat, Lan Ze had not yet accepted Ryougi Shiki's marriage proposal; he simply hoped that Tiamat could stop the battle between the two Root Girls.

And now, Lan Ze has become Ryougi Shiki's fiancé...

So now the question is, at this point, will Tiamat really stop the fight between the two, instead of joining in herself...?

Upon thinking of this, Merlin hesitated.

If even Tiamat were to join the battle... Merlin suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Aaa?"

Just then, Tiamat's singing, tinged with a hint of confusion, gently reached my ears.

Merlin snapped out of his reverie, immediately shook his head, and smiled slightly, "Hmm... I'll take you there now."

Never mind, there's no way to fool them now, I can only take it one step at a time.

As for Lan Ze... we can only hope that he can find a way to get through this difficult time on his own.

After all, Tiamat in his current state... doesn't have the courage to fool the other party.

"Take care of yourself, Lan Ze... "Merlin thought silently.

Sajyou Manaka, a genius among Magecraft, accomplished the lifelong pursuit of Magecraft even before she truly grew up.

--Born to be connected to the Root.

While others use Magecraft, she uses Divine Era Magic. Others rack their brains but can't summon even a single divine monster, while she can summon a whole bunch of divine monsters just by clapping her hands, as if they were free.

Without a doubt, Princess of the Root is a genius among geniuses, a true peerless genius!

And then... she got cheated on again.

Yes, it's "again".

She was initially full of confidence, holding a high position and manipulating everything from behind the scenes, cleaning up all of Lan Ze's relationships with women, which once made Lan Ze wonder if he was immune to women.

I was planning to wait until I grew up before making a move... Ideally, Lan Ze would be captivated by her charm and willingly fall at her feet.

This is Sajyou Manaka's ideal script.

However, from the moment she handed that CD to Lan Ze, her life seemed to take a dramatic turn, with one hat after another being thrown at her head like a ring toss game on the street.

First Tiamat, then Ereshkigal, then Kishinami Hakuno... If she hadn't been decisive back then, and hadn't taken a bite of the cake regardless of the consequences, she might still be stuck at the starting line.

Tonight, she suffered an even heavier blow.

A girl who shared the same Root as her, though not as cute, but with a more mature demeanor, appeared in Fuyuki.

She didn't really care, since everyone has different tastes; some people like young girls while others like lolis.

Lan Ze may not be particularly fond of lolis, but at least she could tell that Lan Ze still valued her.

She originally viewed Tiamat and Ereshkigal as enemies.

--The main enemy is Tiamat, because the other side is too ambitious, and Lan Ze seems to have a strange fetish for older women... This is the conclusion that Sajyou Manaka came to after careful observation.

And now...

The person she's marrying isn't her, nor Tiamat, nor Ereshkigal, but rather this Origin Shiki Things that she looks down upon... hahahaha.

She clearly doesn't understand emotions, she clearly can't even comprehend human feelings, so what gives her the audacity to propose marriage so rashly?

And right in front of me?!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Sajyou Manaka slowly raised her head, and her overwhelming magical power surged forth in an instant, instantly warming the previously chilly street.

At the same time, Lan Ze suddenly seemed to wake up completely from his daze, and then felt a chill run down his spine.

[Quest complete, Reward: Spirit Core Expansion by 10%]

Looking at the pop-up box in front of him, Lan Ze felt no joy at all; instead, he felt an astonishing chill creep down his spine.

Holy crap... I actually made such an outrageous choice?

I accepted the proposal from the Ryougi Shiki?!

When Ryougi Shiki proposed, Lan Ze originally intended to politely decline.

As a result, at some point, the system popped up several option boxes, with text in the option boxes roughly like this:

[Task 1: Accept the proposal of Ryougi Shiki.]

[Task 2: Reject a marriage proposal and reveal who you truly love.]

[Task 3: Reject the marriage proposal and explain that your confession was a misunderstanding, all Merlin's doing.]

The last two options were marked in parentheses, warning Lan Ze that something threatening Humanity's Order might happen. However... no matter how Lan Ze thought about it, he felt that Task 3 was the best choice.

But the system answered him in a cold and resolute voice, stating that the optimal solution was task 1.

After much deliberation, Lan Ze decided to take the gamble.

Judging from the current situation, it seems like Mission 1 doesn't look like it'll be safe from trouble!

But what can I do now? Am I supposed to just say, "Sister Shi, I was just joking with you, hahaha..."?

It's obviously unrealistic no matter how you look at it.

All he could do was pray that his judgment was correct... Lan Ze felt immense pressure, and at the same time, he glanced around.
